Looks like Hezbollah is getting ready to have a big 'ol shindig in celebration of their
victory over Israel. I do in fact recall that they declared victory after the fighting was stopped by Kofi Annan's declaration that they should stop.
I don't know why more people don't declare stuff. I think they're on to something. In fact, I think we should clear up the history books and go ahead and declare victory in Vietnam. Then perhaps we can get together and have a big 'ol shindig ourselves.
And why stop there? I know a lot of folks here in the Dirty South that would be quite happy if we declared victory over the North in the horrible invasion of 1861. Furthermore, the Bush administration could easily when the war in Iraq. All they need to do is stop fighting, bring the troops home, and then declare victory.
You may think I'm being funny, but it really works, even here in the U.S. The left declared Al Gore victorious over Bush and they still believe it. Al Gore declared that the Earth's warming is caused by human destruction; lot's of people believe that. Wal-Mart is evil, Bush lied, public schools need more money. . . and the list goes on.
I'm thinking about declaring myself the King of Pop, but I should probably ask my wife first.
Ya'll come back now, ya hear!
