Does anyone remember that Propagandhi song, Hallie Sallasse, Up Your Ass? For all five of you who do (it’s probably on a mixed CD I gave you), there is a prediction about what will happen in the Middle East (“Soon to be parking lots for American tourists and fascist cops.”). And, fifteen years later, I think it’s actually coming true. But you know what? Sorry, Prop, but I am wicked-excited for that giant parking lot. There are plans to build condos and a shopping centre in Baghdad’s green zone! Do you have any idea how cool that’s going to be? We will have the most fashionable troops in history. It’s not gonna be cheap shit like Kohl’s or Target (although there will be a Wal-Mart). No, we’re talking about H&M, D&G, Versace, Roberto Cavalli- rich people stuff. But the food court will be all-American (and cooked by illegal Mexicans) - Panda Express, MacDonald’s, Sbarro (pizza is American), and definitely Cinnabon. Maybe a Dairy Queen, too. But I wonder- will Hugh Hefner own the condos? Because no condo is complete without a Playboy club and swimming pools on the balconies.
