I lliked this a lot because I thought it not only moving with the time, but also some what humorous. Who is going to think of making a computer literacy class, and model it like some kind of “assisted living” for older people. That is funny to me! I also think this is a good idea though because technology is growing faster and more advanced every day in this world, so I think it would be a great idea. There are so many people that need to play “catch up” and get going with the times.

SCREENERS NOW FAILING TO CATCH ANYTHING
I liked this article because it covers a very modern trouble in our country that everyone can relate to. Also, the way the author mocked out the airline security was very amusing with some of the outrageous smuggled items the article claims DOT investigators brought on the plane.

Mr. President, Humpty Dumpty!
… “And now we would like to introduce the new President of the United States, Humpty Dumpty!” Humpty Dumpty was a hand-chosen man to lead the country and was chosen by the Republican congressmen and senate also known as all the king’s horses and all the king’s men. His running mate also helped him to win the election by getting the big corporation votes. Humpty was put on a tall pedestal because everyone thought that he would be an excellent President.
Humpty Dumpty ignored terrorist threats and because he did not put any merit in them the country was attacked. After the attacks, Humpty vowed to right the grievance that had been done to his country. Humpty Dumpty decided to go to war but not to the countries where the terrorists were from but to Iraq the country that had “weapons of mass destruction.”
The country was completely behind Humpty because they wanted our country to be safe but to the dismay of everyone the weapons were never found and many individuals believed that the war was pointless. They began to lose faith in the government and believed that all the king’s horses and all the king’s men could not find Bin Laden who started the trend.
One day Humpty decided to take a walk and try and avoid all of the paparazzi. He went into the forest and sat on an old castle wall. Humpty, being an egg, became unbalanced and began to teeter. As he was teetering back and forth a few terrorists came and pushed him from behind which caused him to lose his balance and fall down. Humpty’s shell broke into a million pieces and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men who had put him into the great position he held could not put him back together again because he had lost all of their support.

My satire is in the correct satire form. It uses sarcasm to criticize President Bush’s war on terror. Also my satire is written to be read like a story not a commentary.
