using Babel Fish or some other marginal online translation software.  It's probably coming out like: "American grandparents are making biofuels in their pot-ty houses from hash brownies and crispy chickens."&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Chile, I could go for a Crunchy/Greenpa ticket -- assuming that lazy coyote dog of yours isn't running.  Otherwise, I'd have to vote for her -- after the last 8 years, I think having a leader who would just lay around and not make things any worse might be just what the country needs.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Okay, now I really did just paste today's post into Babel Fish (electronic translator) and had it translate into Spanish and then back into English.  Here's what came back (I'm not making this up -- you can try it yourself):&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;EM&gt;". . . Instead of passing this precious time regaling him [Greenpa] with my meanderings with respect the manufacture of my own mantequilla and dental cream, or with more posts of the community-building such as clubs, surveys and similars of the book, I feel forced to defend against this public campaign spiteful of the transference blotch. Now, whereas I esteem the intense jealousy that must supply of fuel their actions, Greenpa is living in outhouse of pretty great crystal to send stones . . . In fact, instead of the cleaning he was crying in his hole, igniting his chimney in the fire, or doing any absurd thing he tried to do, Greenpa was, in the occupied operation of the fact in which he really does for a life. Surely, he leads all to us to think that he is east rebel who lives towards the outside in wood, of the Earth fat. But it is all the hooey. You see, blog is right a cover for true his avocation: Increasing marijuana. I am grieved to explode its bubble on Greenpa, people, but those great conservatories of his are not growing spinach . . . Greenpa has had an amazing breach in developing a hybrid marijuana, greenpis of the Hemps, that does not take almost any energy to grow and the very small Earth. There is suggestion that this one can very flow is the bio-fuel that saves the planet. Still, one of the effects of this clean ardent fuel is that the emissions that are emitted cause, we say, a somewhat pleasant experience. The only disadvantage is that it can increase the indices of the obesity of Americans as one of the natural indirect effect to inhale this extractor is badly a case of the Munchies (pronunciación Norwegian here, please). Therefore the fascination of Greenpa with Edvard chews and its insistence, during an investigation-induced overflow that I must be conceited, that I am 'the shout'. Frightful in fact. Luckyly, Greenpa is working in some twisted tiny amounts genetic esperanzadamente to provide a quality suppressant of the appetite to greenpis of the Hemps. Of such way solving two massive problems, global warming up themselves and obesity, with a solution. It who controls the spice... therefore, this one is the true reason for which we do not have any concrete information on the identity and its wonderful secret nature of Greenpa . . ."&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Maybe that's where all the problems started in Iraq.  Next time, we'll have to be sure to use human translators.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;(Greenpa, I think I may have just passed you falling off the rocker.)</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1542806651392353413/7498831550259528913/comments/default/3007047000614941766'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1542806651392353413/7498831550259528913/comments/default/3007047000614941766'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.thecrunchychicken.com/2008/02/shot-across-bow.html?showComment=1203735000000#c3007047000614941766' title=''/><author><name>DC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16638079335012155807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.thecrunchychicken.com/2008/02/shot-across-bow.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-7498831550259528913' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1542806651392353413/posts/default/7498831550259528913' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1054185892'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-4345589529761608693</id><published>2008-02-22T12:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-22T12:19:00.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Word on the street is this is all a big cover-up f...</title><content type='html'>Word on the street is this is all a big cover-up for a soon-to-be-announced late bid for Presidency.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1542806651392353413/7498831550259528913/comments/default/4345589529761608693'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1542806651392353413/7498831550259528913/comments/default/4345589529761608693'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.thecrunchychicken.com/2008/02/shot-across-bow.html?showComment=1203711540000#c4345589529761608693' title=''/><author><name>Chile</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='15' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_2H3G4C5T6s0/RuLJvw6s8XI/AAAAAAAAAMc/6q1j_vSDX_Y/s200/Chile+logo+stylized+mini.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.thecrunchychicken.com/2008/02/shot-across-bow.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-7498831550259528913' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1542806651392353413/posts/default/7498831550259528913' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-563397929'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-4701886060214609491</id><published>2008-02-22T12:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-22T12:17:00.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Oh, my god.

Here’s the story:&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Our assistant Commander and Chief apparently wasn’t always such a bad buy.  I recently uncovered some &lt;A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KynwpcpDOqw" REL="nofollow"&gt;video footage of him&lt;/A&gt; in his younger years, and I have to say, it’s hard to believe that he’s the same person you see today.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The big question, of course, is what could have turned &lt;A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppm3MIsqsK4" REL="nofollow"&gt;the sweet little Dickey that we everyone adored&lt;/A&gt; into &lt;A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhqnUFPKQAc&amp;feature=related" REL="nofollow"&gt;the big Dick&lt;/A&gt; that we don’t so much?  I have recently uncovered the shocking Truth.  And by “Truth,” I mean that I have the same quality of evidence to support this claim that the Bush administration did about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;This is complicated, so please listen very carefully.  The year was 1985.  The &lt;A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farm_Aid" REL="nofollow"&gt;Farm Aid&lt;/A&gt; concert had just begun in Champaign, Illinois.  A young (well, relatively) Rickey C. (his stage name then) was about to go on stage to open for Willie Nelson.  Then, tragedy struck.  You may have heard that toxic pollen from genetically modified corn can land on milkweed, the favorite food of Monarch butterflies, and &lt;A HREF="http://www.news.cornell.edu/releases/May99/Butterflies.bpf.html" REL="nofollow"&gt;kill them&lt;/A&gt;.  Well, that same pollen can also land on &lt;A HREF="http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/marijuana-leaf.jpg" REL="nofollow"&gt;another kind of weed&lt;/A&gt;, and that’s exactly what happened.  Willie left a few of his favorite “homegrown plants” outside his trailer, and a west wind coated them with genetically modified Bt corn pollen from a nearby field.  This dramatically altered their chemical structure.  Happy-go-lucky Dick, thinking that the plants were perfectly safe (and wanting to look like the Marlboro Man) crumbled some of them up and rolled them into a cigarette.  As soon as he lit it, the smoke instantly caused irreparable damage to his DNA, and that marked the beginning of his descent into darkness.  It’s very sad, but it could have been worse.  Just think what could have happened if &lt;A HREF="http://www.morrisstudios.com/dpics/dsn2-3-6.gif" REL="nofollow"&gt;these guys&lt;/A&gt; had gotten their hands on any of that stuff.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And that’s the &lt;A HREF="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Alberto_Gonzales_-_official_DoJ_photograph.jpg" REL="nofollow"&gt;Truth&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I can't verify what Greenpa does or doesn't grow, but I'm sure that whatever it is, it's at least organic.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1542806651392353413/7498831550259528913/comments/default/6207604814734883243'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1542806651392353413/7498831550259528913/comments/default/6207604814734883243'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.thecrunchychicken.com/2008/02/shot-across-bow.html?showComment=1203688560000#c6207604814734883243' title=''/><author><name>DC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16638079335012155807</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.thecrunchychicken.com/2008/02/shot-across-bow.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-7498831550259528913' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1542806651392353413/posts/default/7498831550259528913' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1054185892'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-1593032570183962534</id><published>2008-02-22T05:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-22T05:31:00.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>lol.
