BAGHDAD, Iraq - A large explosion shook downtown Baghdad on Sunday night, but its cause could not immediately be determined.

The blast occurred after sundown when Iraqi Muslims were taking their iftar meal, which breaks the fast during the holy month of Ramadan.

2. These explosions remind me of the "weather on the 8s"

These explosions are almost as regular as the weather channel's "Weather on the 8s".

I thought our mission was accomplished in Iraq. Our glorious leader George Bush single-handedly got Saddam Bin Laden, the guy who attacked us.

Aren't the Iraqis cowed by George's cow-boyness and overwhelming masculinity yet?
