printAmericans are like Australian Marsupials; they’ve developed in isolation, an existential condition that may account for some bizarre traits, such as believing every tall-tale—WMD in Iraq, for instance. So it comes as no surprise that the press has run with a story alleging Virginian Senator George Allen, already a controversial character, caught a deer during his college days, and “after the deer was killed…cut off the doe’s head, asked for directions to the home of the nearest black person and shoved the head into that person’s mailbox.”
Maybe I’m over inquisitive, but my only question is, How on earth did Allen get the deer’s head into a US mailbox?
I don’t know much about Senator Allen, but I wonder how many of his critics are ready to answer for everything they did in college?
First, the marsupial comment apropos Americans: brilliant and hilarious. Second, maybe the media have yet to discover the horrid facts about a possible bludgeoning of the head. How else could he have fitted the entire head in the mailbox? No doubt an extensive investigation will be conducted. The matter is of the utmost importance.
Unfortunately, I don’t think foreigners are that much more intelligent.
[I was not referring to intelligence. Foreigners seem less gullible–to me at least. You’ve been overseas?]
