Yeah, and China Wants Some Advice on How to Help Lower the Prison Population

Oh man, Olmert, we were going to ask you! Best we can come up with is a big-ass wall, but you’re well ahead of us on that one.

Our advice: Tell all the Palestinians that if they go to the other side of the wall you promise to let them back in. We’re about to try it with a couple million Mexicans, we’ll tell you how it goes. You’re going to want to get your rabid xenophobes and your capitalists looking to exploit cheap labor to work together on this. If you manage it, let us know how. Feel free to ignore the bleeding-hearts, though you can placate them with compassionate talk. “Nation of immigrants” works for us, you can try “only middle eastern democracy.” You’re allowed to keep your fingers crossed behind your back.
