Lately, the White House has been getting a lot of angry mail. After the canines sniff the envelopes for anthrax, interns open up each letter to find that people are disappointed in the president. Guess what they're mad about? No, it's not Iraq, and it's not the price of Gas. It's not even the conspiracy theory that the Bush administration orchestrated 9/11 (a fallacious claim that should flatter the Commander in Chief since so many believe he has the intellect to pull off such a well-organized catastrophe). No, during these previous weeks, letters have been pouring in about "Dog" the Bounty Hunter.This young man who goes by the name of Dog went down south a few years ago. He crossed the border a few years ago and captured Andrew Kuster, a rapist who was convicted on 86 counts of rape.
That's right. Can you believe the audicty of this bounty hunter? He took the law into his own hands and defied Mexico's sovereign right to hardbor drug dealers, murderers, and rapists. How dare he thumb his nose at Mexico's benevloent government? And what about our police departments here in America? They spent hundreds of man-hours (and a few woman-hours too), they used up vast amounts of resources, and still the rapist escaped their grasp. How do they feel? Pretty incompetent, I bet. How dare Mr. Dog intentionally lower the self-esteem of our men in uniform? By single-handedly tracking down that sociopathic monster, Dog was disrespecting the badge.
I know a lot of you lovers of reality televsion have become infatuated with Mr. Dog. And now you feel sorry for him. You're probably saying: Hey, that's not fair. Mexico refuses to hand over cop-killers and mass-murderers. Why should we hand over one of the good guys? Well, we follow rules here in the U.S. That's what holds this country together. That's what our great nation is based upon. (Actually, if you want to get technical, America was founded by a bunch of law breakers who wanted cheap tea-- but after we kicked out King George III, that's when we became a nation of Law and Order!) (Off topic: There are too many Law and Order shows on TV today. Too much CSI crap too. Oops, I digress...)
