Thanks, Dio.
I wish that the rocket was real - and you accidentally fired it right then. (Backblast area clear, dumb@ss?) You are the chlorine that your gene pool needs.
Nice toy there, Achmed. When you grow up, what do you want to be? Merkava track grease, or a Darwin Award winner?
What did you mean when you said that the U.N. forced the women in Afghanistan to put the burkas back on, Diogenesis?
My heart aches for Shannon Spann. Her face is so drawn in pain, with circles under her eyes nearly down to her chin. Prayers that she will find restful sleep and strength for her children.
Let's not forget why we are in a fight to the finish.
Those photographs of Shannon Spann are a poignant,
and powerful reminder - lest we forget.
Thanks for posting them here.
