New Precision Guided Humor Assignment: Appeasing Terrorists

Now that most of the MSM has been cowed by grumpy Islamofascists into not re-printing the Danish Muhammed cartoons, it's only a matter of time before the ululating lunatics start making more demands and threatening more murders and riots. Like the Puppy Blender says, "The message [the MSM] send is "We will reward violence." And you're going to get more of what you reward. That's how it works."

Wonder what those demands will be?

Your Precision Guided Humor Assignment this week is to answer the question:

Having already surrendered the right to print cartoons in a free press, what further concessions will terrorist appeasers make next?

Post the answer at your own blog and leave a link in the comments to this post, leave a trackback, or e-mail the permalink directly to Alliance.PGH@gmail.com. Entries due by 11:59pm EST Wednesday, March 8th and GEBIV will post the round-up Thursday. Late entries must be accompanied by a lame excuse.

Precision Guided Round-Up: Underutilized Weapons

There are many unusual ways for the United States to fight the War on Terror. And we here at The Alliance have some of the... more, how do you say, underutilized ones.

K T Cat at The Scratching Post has a simple answer. Conspiracy Theories! But I think the government is just going to hush this one up...

The Right Truth has an even more plentiful weapons (estimates of between 4 and 60 million) that are as close as your nearest computer. I am A WEAPON!

bob has his own Ultimate Weapon to unleash over at either orr.
I think this one may be a little too powerful though...

At Striving for Average, tommy has an... er, you'll have to go see for yourself. I've got to go conqure some new worlds right now.

Harvey, first - posting at IMAO, suggests we use some PCDs. And then, over at his own site of Bad Example, has another handfull of ideas to use. Whoa!

I (GEBIV of There's One, Only!) want to use the power of Amatuer Radio!!!!!! Well, it sounded funny when I was writing at the end of a 14 hour workday...

And Memeitc_warrior left us this long poem in the comments to the assignment. Dude, you're supposed to put this in your own blog so we can send you some traffic. Mmmmmmm sweet traffic....

Just remember to keep all these Ultimate Weapons pointed the right way. At the terrorists!

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!

Filthy Round-Up: Evil Glenn's Stuff

Everyone's got stuff in their home that they wouldn't want anyone to find out. (I have no idea where those Disney statuettes came from...) And Evil Glenn is no exception to this. So, here's what a search of Evil Glenn's house would turn up:

Right Truth finds a few hidden items at Evil Glenn's.

Steve the Pirate gets hold of a SWAT team's after action report.

Harvey, posting at IMAO, did a little B&E of his own to bring you some more items.

And I (GEBIV of There's One, Only!) did a little shake down of my own...

New Filthy Lie Assignment: Evil Glenn's PR Machine

Instapundit noted how Wal-Mart was using bloggers to try to dilute its image as The Source of All Evil.

Since Instapundit is the REAL Source of All Evil, he's decided to hire a public relations firm to quell some of those persistent rumors about him, and try to show him in a more positive light.

Good freakin' luck.

Nevertheless, it should be interesting to see what they come up with.

Your Filthy Lie Assignment this week is to answer the question:

How will Evil Glenn's PR firm put a positive spin on his infamous misdeeds?

UPDATE: Glenn is actually BRAGGING about his PR machine.

Post your response at your own blog and leave a link in the comments to this post, leave a trackback, or e-mail the permalink directly to Alliance.filthylies@gmail.com. Entries due by 11pm EDT Friday, March 10th and GEBIV will post the round-up on Saturday. Late entries must be accompanied by a lame excuse.
