Oh my life, when I first read this, I thought it was serious! (This is a interesting indication of the perspective the rest of the world has on 'US patriotism' these days, by the by.)

Thank the Gods for satire!

NEW YORK - It was two weeks ago that six-year-old Emily Plangen was out in her front yard in Brooklyn, N.Y., playing with some neighbor children. Little did she know they would be her last moments as an American.

The State Department last night deported Plangen for anti-Patriotic feelings as well as for being a danger to national security.

She's a-gonna take down the whole country before she's seven, apparently. The pesky brat!

"It's important we stamp out these threats immediately," said a State Department official. "While Plangen may be young, her radical ideas threaten to bring down this nation. Patriotism is not a choice."
