Axis of Evil Takes Credit for Hurricane Sandy

Verrazano-Narrows Bridge during Frankenstorm's approach

I was sure conspiracy theorists would blame Israel for Hurricane Sandy. We’re blamed for tsunamis, Red Sea shark attacks, and bird flu, among other things, so ridiculous accusations don’t surprise me anymore.

Instead, the Axis of Evil’s supporters pre-empted all that by taking credit for Frankenstorm. CNN writes:

Hours after Superstorm Sandy howled its way through the East Coast this week, unleashing a fatal trail of destruction, global reactions included outpouring of sympathy and support.

But not in Syria, where some pro-government supporters welcomed the superstorm when it hit Monday, claiming the natural disaster is the result of high-tech secret engineering.

. . .

“Sources confirmed to us that Hurricane Sandy that is slamming the U.S. was set off by highly advanced technologies developed by the heroic Iranian regime that supports the resistance, with coordination of our resistive Syrian regime,” pro-government group News Network of the Syrian Armed Forces said in a Facebook posting.

“This is the punishment for whoever dares to attack Syria’s (Bashar) al-Assad and threaten peace and stability.”

What else might they have caused?

    If I worked for their propaganda department, I’d air an episode of “The Walking Dead,” and claim that was the current situation in America, thanks to Iran’s “zombie ray.”

    My toilet overflowed and I suspect that it is the s–t being thrown about by the Iranians.

    The applicants usually do not need to do just about anything but to hold back for your submission and the approval of the filled up online loan application form.

    Never sign any documents towards pay day loans and soon you look at the
    fine print.
