Hello, I am Hussein, and this is my family, the Husseins! This is a very big day for us. We have experienced a loss… but I negotiated a very cheap burial price! Go me. Tomorrow is already looking better!

Look how many candles we have! We are the most sad AND the least scary! There is nothing hidden in my halal cart. Trust us. Now.

The government has created a new secret spy program called See Something Say Something! But you can't see something if we are nothing!
4. EGYPT IS ON THE PHONE!
Mona, this is a very important phone call. We are speaking to our relatives in Egypt. This is a very expensive call, but of course I got us a phone card that is very cheap. It is very important that you make our move across the world seem worth it. Make us look good! Now.

Hateful, but helpful. The best hate crime I have ever seen. I love this country.

We love you Mr. Bush. Feel free to stay at our house, and torture our family. We cannot wait to visit this Guantanamo Bay! It sounds beautiful.
