What's smaller than a bread box, but bigger than a snowflake baby?
“We need a small coffin,” one of the men shouted. The crowd went silent, and soon a body the size of a doll came out, what one doctor called a posthumous birth from a pregnant mother in the trailer. The men broke into chants of “God is great.”-NYT





"The children here today are reminders that every human life is a precious gift of matchless value......By the way, we're having a little birthday gathering just in a second for Tanner and Noelle. You all are invited to partake in a little birthday cake." -George W. Bush



They're putting numbers on the coffins-

“If you speak the truth here you are called a traitor,” Mr. Abdullah said. “But we all know that this is a war between Iran and America. I am paying part of the price for it.” Then he suddenly grew pensive as he stood at the edge of the trench.

“That’s my daughter, No. 9,” he said, pointing at a coffin coming out of the truck as. “It’s a nice number, don’t you think? And No. 7, it’s a nice number, too. It’s my wife. And there’s No. 10. I hope they will be lucky.”

3. “If you speak the truth here you are called a traitor,” Mr. Abdullah said.
He could be talking about the United States.

5. Like Jon Stewart said...
..."The reason they are called SNOWFLAKES is that no two of them are alike and they are all white..."

6. What a hypocrite!!!
We should not use public money to support the further destruction of human life.


How many tax dollars have been spent on the Iraq war?
