2. This is deliberate.
No doubt about it. And shooting one's t.v. with a sawed off shotgun doesn't make it all go away, Lord knows I've tried.

4. Top story: If you are rich, you don't die in bush's war for oil
People who are looking for a job or people who are looking for an education, get an opportunity do die for bush.
The people who live in Iraq have odds much greater than just an opportunity to die for bush.
I wonder if Paris Hilton can find Iraq on a map.

7. Our troops in Iraq are a big part of the problem
The Iraqi people don't want us there. The presents of the troops leads to violence. The violence causes the troops to press harder resulting in more violence.
We must withdraw our troops and seek a diplomatic solution.

3. Part of the little girl's shirt says 'who is the winner'.
Edited on Fri Jun-29-07 06:24 AM by Philosoraptor
...Can't quite make it out through the blood, looks like a heart shape with English words on it, the last four words appear to say, 'who is the winner', or I'm hallucinating.

8. I think you're right... there's something written above that...
but it's covered in blood. :-(

Trying to read the text made me very sad. We paid for that poor little girl's pain and suffering. It was done in our name. :cry:

9. Dont forget the Apple iHYPE coverage
Hey you stupid consumer droids!!! Save up that extra cash (or just skip a car/rent payment) and BUY BUY BUY! If you dont have one by Saturday, you aren't cool. Its only $500, and some people are pissed they cant get multiple units! I'm sure ATT/Apple are loving the free pubicity.
