    I guess the "readers" don't do much "reading"... it's a joke.

    The proper spelling is Excremento.

    Most of say, Suckramento.

    Ah yes, at first glance, I thought this was an Arrested Development ref. (like here). Sacramende! And A.D.'s been renewed! Woohoo!

    In the parallel universe they live in, it *is* spelled "Socromento". Jarge Boosh is also part of the nucular radeeashun plot.

    They were frightened by the attack on the WTC. They are responding by sublimating their fears into patholgogical actions. Basically they're scared shitless over the boogey man hiding under their bed and blame him for everything bad that ever happens to them. Good, old fashioned demonism.

    So basically, 9/11 happens, they get scared and wrap their house in foil. Meanwhile, George W. Bush's response to 9/11 is to invade a country with no clear link to 9/11 or al Qaeda, get 1600 troops killed along with tens of thousands of civilians, make the Islamic world hate the US even more than it used to, waste hundreds of billions of dollars, and to get us stuck battling a raging insurgency without the slightest freaking clue how to get out of the situation.

    If you ask me, these people practically seem sane in comparison.
