I know many of you here won’t accept the truth of the claim asserted by my title. But I have proof. A serious and dangerous terrorist was taken down thanks in large part to the warrantless surveillance program instituted by the Bush administration. A man who terrorized American men for years with his hateful message of male inadequacy, and his ability to coerce those men into giving him money to finance his terrorist agenda. I’m speaking of course, of Steven Warshak, the manufacturer of Enzyte who was notorious for his sinister psychological abuse of millions of American men who he convinced they suffered from that most dreaded of medical disorders: Tiny Penis Syndrome.
Well thanks to the foresight of President Bush, and the efforts of the FBI to ignore the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution in defense of our nation’s security, this horrific terrorist is now behind bars and his evil psychological terror attacks on the masculinity of Patriotic American Men has finally come to an end.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and other civil liberties groups are charging the government with having used a “back door wiretap” to obtain six months worth of a defendant’s emails without a warrant.
According to EFF, the act under which the emails were obtained “is only supposed to be used for obtaining emails already in storage with a provider.” Instead, the Justice Department ordered suspect Steven Warshak’s email provider to prospectively “preserve” copies of his future emails, which would otherwise have been deleted as they were downloaded.
The government then subpoenaed the provider for copies of the emails, thereby obtaining 27,740 of Warshak’s private communications without a warrant and without him being aware of the arrangment.
Thanks to these emails, obtained without a warrant, as required by the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, Steven Warshak was convicted for the crime of making men believe their dicks were too small, and that they needed his nefarious product, Enzyte, even though he knew it didn’t work. Now, I know some of you may raise the following question: Couldn’t the federal government have found a way to take down this threat to our very way of life without sacrificing the protections to which all of us are entitled under the Bill of Rights, specifically the protection of unlawful searches and seizures without a warrant issued by a court of law based on probable cause?
Well, all I can say to that is you are still operating under a pre-9/11 mindset, my friends. And as we all know, 9/11 changed everything. In this Post-9/11 world we have to protect ourselves from terrorists like Steven Warshak anyway we can. If that means discarding the precious rights and liberties the Founding Fathers gave us when they added the Bill of Rights to the Constitution in order to ensure its passage, why we just have to accept that sometimes you have to surrender a little freedom in order to obtain a little security. And no matter what Ben Franklin might have thought about that trade off …
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
… I’ll bet none of his many lady friends ever questioned the size of his package, if you get my drift. If they had, I’m sure he’d stand fore square behind the actions of the FBI to illegally obtain essential evidence against the monster known as Steven Warshak who did so much to destroy the psychological well being of our American men in a time of war.
Besides, wasn’t it all worth it just to get these awful commercials that mocked so many of our best and brightest off the airwaves?
So thank you agents of the FBI and former glorified mouthpiece President Bush (and you too, former Fuhrer Vice President Cheney) for taking the steps necessary to preserve our country’s most vital national treasure: faith in the stature of our American made dicks. Hell, we don’t need no stinking commie “natural enhancement” pills. That’s why God created Viagra, after all.
Okay, but what about my penis?
They still sell the penis pump!
we won one of those as a prize on Trivia Night. I never took it out of the box. I tried to consider its potential as wall-hung well-hung art for a while, but I tossed it when I moved.
This whole thing just leaves me limp.
Makes me shrivel up like a spider on a hot stove.
Gosh, I thought the South Park Chinpokomon episode debunked that old myth long ago.
Chinpo is Japanese for penis, while chinpoko is slang for a small penis.
Thanks! I missed that part of the joke the first time around, my Japanese language skills being sadly lacking.
makes it funnier.
Friday Morning Penis Blogging could become a regular feature. Or not.
I’m just thinking about that poor actor who achieved an actor’s dream when he landed that commercial. NOW what’s he going to do?
Well, political conservatives do tend to do a lot of carrying on over a penis.
Might I remind eveyone of that whole obssesion over President Clinton’s penis? We all remember that, don’t we? How could we forget it? It went on for years!
All they talked about was Clinton’s penis. On and on and on. From their pundits, to their commentators, to their posters on the internet, on and on it went.
They talked about his penis on television, they talked about his penis online, they talked about his penis in Letters to the Editor, they talked about his penis in magazines-I mean literally-they had no demonstratable ability to stop themselves. It was penis, penis, penis. 24-7.
And no matter what the rest of the world said to them, they just could not let go of that man’s penis. They hung right on with all their might. Lasted for years.
I’ve never seen anything like it! Frankly, it was a litle scary. Not Clinton’s penis-them. I’ve never seen such focus before from the political right. I’m just praying this whole ugly episode over Steve Warshak escapes their notice. God forbid, we should have go down that road again with the republican party.
Booman-be kind. Stop calling their attention to a “You know what!” You know they have a tendency to mishandle things like that!
Wasn’t Eliot Spitzer busted using money-tracking laws to bust drug dealers along with anti-terrorist laws to do formerly legally dubious wiretaps? The problem with giving government too much police power (and making too many things illegal and thus prosecutable) is that it makes it easier to politicize law enforcement. Heck, I thought that giving cops tasers would cut down on officer-involved shootings, but instead all we get are more cases of cops torturing citizens.
On a personal note, having the name Bob I hope that this means the end of those commercials.
a dick in a box equated with a suitcase nuke?…who’d a thunk.
…we’re the gummit, we’re here to help…be afraid…be very afraid
