I don't know if he's Clan MacFarlane, but we'll adopt him anyway.

No, no! Clan MacLaine!! "Virtue mine honour!"
God bless this Marine!

Looks like an argument for reincarnation, because I know that the bagpipes are imprinted on our souls.

He's playing "Farewell to the Creeks," I venture to guess -- one of my favorite Scottish tunes for the pipes.

I hope the Falluja Jihadies are getting a taste of the Noriega treatment, some loud obnoxious western music that will drive them insane. Oh I forgot. They already are insane. Nevermind.

I think this is my favorite picture that has come out of Iraq. I hope the evil-doers' toes curl up every time they hear the sound of the pipes.

If bagpipes won't drive the terrorists insane nothing will.
