At least they seem to be intellectual equals.

I felt the same way yesterday when it took Dominos an hour and a half to deliver my pizza!

Looks like I Fratelli (local parlor) and Papa John's will be getting more of my business.

That photo poignantly describes the global conflict between militant Islam and American capitalism. They are angry that we export our values through peaceful economic means. They are perfectly content to resort to deadly means to promote their values or destroy that which is valued by other cultures. We are shocked at their violence, but we mainly confront it by offering more freedom/capitalism (with one notable current exception). European Socialism is happy to let Islam brutalize the world, so their absence in the photo is also meaningful.

It also captures the almost comical extent of their military prowess. ;^)

It also captures their cowardice (the mask), their willingness to target civilian centers, and their preference to take on innocence (women and children) as their chosen targets.

Want fries with that? French fries that is.
McDonalds has just called them "fries" for quite awhile. They've dropped the french.....kind of like history has. >:)

That picture is one of the funnier things I've seen in a while. I'm not a big McDonald's fan, either... go ahead, buddy. I dare you to give Ronald a new nostril.

An Indonesian Muslim protester points his toy gun to Ronald McDonald during an anti-war demonstration at a McDonald's restaurant in Jakarta

The irony...the irony...

Yet another member of the Religion of Peace who wants to KILL US.

I cease to be amazed.
