ROTFLMAO!!!
A regular Zotweiler.
LOL! ;-D
The GOOD News in Iraq that the MSN does not want YOU to know!
Did you know that 25 Iraq students departed for the United States in January 2005
for the reestablished Fulbright program?
Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is operational?! They have 5 100-foot patrol craft,
34 smaller vessels and a naval infantry regiment.
Did you know that Iraq 's Air Force consists of three operational squadrons,
which includes 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport aircraft
(under Iraqi operational control) which operate day and night,
and will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 Bell Jet Rangers?
Did you know that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a Commando Battalion?
Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000 fully trained and equipped police officers?
Did you know that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraqthat produce over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks?
Did you know there are more than 1100 building projects going on in Iraq ?
They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals, 83 railroad stations, 22 oil facilities,
93 water facilities and 69 electrical facilities.
Did you know that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5 have received the first 2 series of polio vaccinations?
Did you know that 4.3 million Iraqi children were enrolled in primary school by mid October?
Did you know that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq and phone use has gone up 158%?
Did you know that Iraq has an independent media that consists of 75 radio stations,
180 newspapers and 10 television stations?
Did you know that 47 countries have reestablished their embassies in Iraq ?
Did you know that the Iraqi government currently employs 1.2 million Iraqi people?
Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated,
364 schools are under rehabilitation,
263 schools are now under construction
and 38 new schools have been built in Iraq ?
Did you know that Iraq's higher educational structure consists of 20 Universities,
46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers, all currently operating?
Did you know that the Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June of 2004?
Did you know that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a televised debate recently?
OF COURSE YOU DIDN'T KNOW . .AND I DIDN'T KNOW!
WHY DIDN'T WE ?
OUR MEDIA WOULDN'T TELL US!
Instead of reflecting our love for our country, we get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib
and people throwing snowballs at the presidential motorcades.
The lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves two purposes.
It is intended to undermine the world's perception of the United States ,
thus minimizing consequential support, and it is intended to discourage American citizens.

excellent!
mother-flippin snakes?
yeah... something like "...puling lackwits seething in their yammering din..."
well, I posted that originally about two years back, and subsequently archived it, adding a terminal lament about my failure to use those two lovely old words.
you mean like OOMPAPAPAOOMPAPAPAOOMPAPAPAOOMP?
Google "Snakes on a plane"
Keywords are a way to leave your own unique marker on a thread for later recall; especially if you leave topically related keywords. They are searchable, thus making an easy method to call up those threads for later reference.
Of course, you sometimes have to resort to odd and truly obscure keywords in order to make the functionality really work well for you, but it's worthwhile if you are truly intent on recovering specific threads easily.
Obviously, all of that effort goes for naught if you forget what keywords you used for a given topic or thread, so practice safe keywording and log them somewhere accessible.
RE: Pulling
"Father, I am to give my first mass and I am extremely nervous. Please, give me some advice as to how you remain so calm."
"Well, you know that I keep a glass of icewater at hand throughout the mass."
"Yes."
"It isn't icewater, it's vodka on the rocks. I nip at it on occasion to ward off the butterflies."
"Ah! Thank you, Father. I will try that."
After the mass, our nervous young priest meets again with his elder mentor for a critique.
"Well, Father, what did you think of my first mass?"
"First of all, about the vodka: next time sip it slowly, don't gulp it by the glass.
Second, it's 'Jesus Christ and the Disciples' not 'J.C. and da boyz.'
Third, it's 'the Virgin Mary', not 'Mary wit da cherry'.
Fourth, you were meant to announce a taffy pulling contest at St. Peters, not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.
Finally, you really should have had one of the altar boys blow out the candles afterward; your impromptu fire-belching singed the varnish on the altar.
But, other than that, you did fine."
I know. Mighty poor grade of trolls this year. I refuse to zot unless they have a single-digit IQ....MINIMUM! (I let these go, hoping they will evolve into something....ANYTHING!)
But I suppose most can't read what they post through the crayon scribble on their computer screens anyway....
Sometimes debate is a waste of words. ;-)
Now that is a worthwhile rant/production.....
