Iraqi Invasion: A Text Misadventure
This came from Defective Yeti, another fine blog. It reminds me of all those times I walked into other people’s dorm rooms to find them absorbed in a text game. What a great idea this was!
Oval Office
You are standing inside a White House, having just been elected to the presidency of the United States. You knew Scalia would pull through for you.There is a large desk here, along with a few chairs and couches. The presidential seal is in the middle of the room and there is a full-length mirror upon the wall.
What do you want to do now?
> INVADE IRAQ
You are not able to do that, yet.> LOOK MIRROR
Self-reflection is not your strong suit.> PET SEAL
It’s not that kind of seal.> EXAMINE CHAIRS
They are two several chairs arranged around the center of the room, along with two couches. Under one couch you find Clinton’s shoes.> FILL SHOES
You are unable to fill Clinton’s shoes.> EXAMINE DESK
It is a large, oak desk, with several drawers.In one drawer you find a bag of pretzels.

I don’t think the pretzel would agree with you.> INVADE IRAQ

On another note, here is a fine breakdown of US-responsible Human Rights Violations compiled by the Human Rights Watch yesterday. Those included are (obviously) Iraq, but also Katrina, and our general incarceration methods.
