1. Haven't we hit 1300 yet!

The 1200s have become so... passe.'
Does it occur to you that people on the street
give one rat's ass about the trickling-in dead?
I don't see it. I don't hear about it. Do you?

2. I was watching the local "Good Day" morning news show

when they announced 8 more dead marines with the nonchalance you might expect from a stock market report.

At the beginning of this war I was convinced that as soon as the American people realized it would not be quick and easy - as the real cost in lives lost started to mount - they would see what a huge mistake it was and demand a change in course. This has not happened. Not even close. The whole experience has been totally demoralizing. I was so naive. The true nature of the majority of the American people has been revealed to me and now I know. We are truly a nation of thoughtless sheep people.

5. THEY ARE SHEEP BAA BAA BAAA (caution graphic)

These thoughtless uncaring selfish, self centered Americans could care less about anyone who is shredded into a pulp or killed. In particular they could care less about a few "RAG-HEAD" children who are blown into mush like the soldiers below.








A common type of injury associated with roadside improvised explosive device run over by a Humvee.

4. All I see is Christmas decorations and all I hear is xmas songs

like..."Peace on earth and good will toward men"

I got those goddamn PMS for the holidays.

Pre-Holiday PMS

I don't want to be thankful this year.
I don't want to eat turkey and I could care
if I never again tasted
your mother's cornbread stuffing.
I hate sweet potato pie. I hate mini marshmallows.
I hate doing dishes while you watch football.

I hate Christmas. I hate name-drawing.
I hate tree-trimming, gift-wrapping,
and Rudolph the zipper-necked red-nosed reindeer.
I just want to skip the whole merry mess—
unless, of course, you'd like to try
to change my mind. You could start
with an honest vote count in Ohio
and throwing a certain turd out of office.

3. How cheap life is...

...to this ruthless empire.

Get out of Iraq, ruthless empire.

7. What about the 7 or 8 (differing news accounts) Marines killed

Sunday?
