It would be like watching the "Situation Room" on CNN and on half a screen is a big picture of Bush and on the other half is a picture of Hitler, and Wolf is only talking about Bush...the Hitler pic is up just sitting there lingering on the sidelines.......but it's hard to just listen to Wolf talk about Bush and not think of Hitler.

36. this thread contains the oddest responses to the OP |
|
What about the original post is difficult to understand? Pitt went to Boston.com. On that site there was a headline regarding the car bombs near Baghdad. There was another (completely different story) about the recent typhoon in Vietnam. These stories suck because innocent people are dead.
Is this really not obvious or is it just fun to fuck with Pitt today?

having Iraq and Vietnam in the same box. We've been conflating the two for a while ("Iraq is Arabic for Vietnam") and there it was.
And the thread apparently crashed into someone desperately in need of a hobby, a massage, or a soothing pill. Or all three.
I recommend stamp collecting and Xanax, but that's just me.
