EOD guys prefer National Training Center to The Hurt Locker

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - Amid the ongoing strike by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the performers union SAG-AFTRA, citizens across the country today unequivocally agreed that they wish writers and actors had hit the picket line whenever it was that the movie The Hurt Locker was created.

"There is an unprecedented level of agreement on this point," said American University political scientist Arnold Jameson. "Americans rue the day The Hurt Locker came into existence, and are particularly frustrated that writers and performers weren’t striking when this cinematic piece of garbage was developed."

One citizen pointed out that "the movie is absolute shit," while 331.9 million of her fellow citizens, aged zero days to 115 years, all nodded in emphatic concurrence.

Pentagon casualties, metric improvement, and Fat Leonard’s least dignified phase.

A State Department map that relocated most of Africa, one ambitious government travel card, and 5,200 medical students moved from dorms that definitely do not have mold.
