You Can't Mock  the President or Say "Balls"
The Most Important  Thing I Learned in School This
Year
By BILLY WILSON

The following is an essay  written by a High School
sophomore in Freyburg, Maine, as the  essay part of
the final exam in his English class. His teacher sent
it to CounterPunch as an example of the uprightness of
modern  youth.


The most important lesson I learned  this year in
school is to pay attention in class and not to doodle 
while the teacher is talking. The worst thing you can
do is draw  a picture that shows President Bush's head
on a pole with blood gushing out of his bulging
eyesballs. If you do something like  this, it means
you're probably going to blow up the Oklahoma  Book
Depsitory, or fly remote conrtrol planes into the
White  House, like the CIA did on 9/11. Even if you're
only 15 like  me, you can hijack a bus (like Sandra
Bullock did in that cool  movie, Speed), and drive it
into the Bush ranch at Waco, and  burn all the
children to death.

I learned that drawing pictures  of the President with
his arms growing out of his head is no  laughing
matter. It's bad to make the President look stupider
than he already is. You can't draw him writing memos
on wide-ruled  paper with a crayon, or dressed up like
a cowboy and playing  with toy pistols in the Awful
Office. That type of humor isn't  funny. You can't
make him look like Alfred E. Newman from Mad 
Magazine, with blood gushing out of his ears.

It is OK to draw a picture  of Saddam Hussein on all
fours, with Condolisa Rice in a furry  African bikini
and rings around her neck, holding the evildooer  on a
leash, and Donald Rumsfeld whacking him on the behind
and making him bark like a dog, because that's just a
frat prank  (like the sexy girl soldier Lindy English
did at that prison  in IsraelI mean Iraq). But the
President is God, which is why  his picture is on the
dollar bill, and why you can't make him  look like an
elephant like those soldiers did. You know. Kneeling 
with his feet up in the air and one finger in his nose
and the  other in his anus. That's really bad.

You can't draw the president's  face on a stick, even
if you make it look like a lollypop or  a Bubblehead
doll. You are a bad person if you do that and if  you
do that, the Secret Police will come to your house at
midnight  and make you stand on a box with a shopping
bag over your head  and electrodes attached to your
generals. Then they'll bulldoze  your house into dust!
(Which is way cool to see them do that  on TV.)

If you make fun of the president  that means you hate
him and are a enemy combatant. The president  has so
much to worry about, like his physical fitness and if 
he takes his sedatives on time, he doesn't need some
wise-ass kid sneaking into the Lincoln bedroom at
night and fucking his  wife (you shouldn't say fuck),
or his really cute daughters,  who drink a lot and
fall down at parties and are pretty easy.  The
president was bad too, like his daughters, before he
learned  that Jesus wanted him to kill all the Arabs.
The president is  truly blessed, so you can't tell
your freinds you made a videotape  of him masturbating
and sent it to Seymour Hersh. You can't do that,
because one of your friends may be an informer for
Homeland  Security and then they'll chop your fucking
head off!

What I learned this year is  that the President is not
someone to mock. Even if he is an idiot  and a war
criminal who deserves to be hanged, and even if no 
one in the media has the balls to say so. (You
shouldn't say  balls either.)
