The Plan!

Posted Image

You gotta love Robin Williams...... Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.

Robin Williams's plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!)

"I see a lot of people yelling for peace, but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan.

1) "The US will apologize to the world for our 'interference' in their affairs, past & present. You know: Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those 'good ole boys;' we will never 'interfere' again.

2) "We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea, the Middle East, and the Philippines. They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.

3) "All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days, the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of who or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.

4) "All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.

5) "No foreign 'students' over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a D, and it's back home, baby.

6) "The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy-wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy, but will require temporary drilling for oil in the Alaska wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.

7) "Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil-producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)

8) "If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not 'interfere.' They can pray to Allah, or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement, or whatever they need. Besides, most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.

9) "Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair-weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

10) "All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us 'Ugly Americans' any longer. The language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE."

"Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?"

"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying, 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat, and she's yelling, 'You want a piece of me?' "

As I recall only the last line of this is actually by Robin Williams.

The rest is not even funny enough to be by him.

There is a line we cross when we go from "I will believe it when I see it" to "I will see it when I believe it".

You don't think Williams is funny? I think he's one of the funniest people in the world. He's also one of the few celebrities to go over to Iraq to entertain the troops, even though he doesn't much like Bush. I believe most of the celebs, even the right wing ones, think it's a bit too dangerous. Well, apart from Ted Nugent. :rolleyes: My guess is Ted Nugent's back yard is probably way more dangerous than down-town Baghdad so it doesn't bother him.

JB was saying the material wasn't funny enough to be by Williams.

Williams is one of the funniest people in the world....and one of the most under-rated actors, too.

Cool guy!

Oh, OK, my mistake - it's just when you said 'even funny enough' I almost took mortal insult. Robin Williams is my favourite person in the whole celebrity world, and about my 3rd favourite person if I include my family. It's a shame he's so hairy, though.

I'll concede to #1, if we can get #2 thru #10.

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

I have a great deal of admiration for him as a human being aside from the fact that he is probably the most brilliant improvizational comic of the modern era (besides a good friend of his, Jonathon Winters). As an actor he has gone way beyond the comedic and, I think, that is where his humanity really shines through.

I agree, he is fantastic in the serious stuff as well.

Fantastic actor though his script choices veer towards the preachy and saccharin. Great comedy performer though the fundamental verbal comedy involved is weak, whether improvised or prepared. People laugh because of the unique energy he puts into his delivery.

That's very cool that he entertains the troops even though he's firmly on the left politically.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

Um... John... do we dare ask you became aquainted with the quantity of hair all over Robin William's body?
I'd rather fall into chocolate.

A gentleman never discloses such things.

Actually, he runa around naked in Central Park in The Fisher King, one of my favourite movies.
