8 posts about Bagdad Bob's comments:"There are no light bulbs in Bagdad. There is no need to change them. The UN inspector traitors told you there were no light bulbs. It is all lies of the American infidels that changing is needed.
15 to reply "You owe me a new monitor/keyboard/mouse."

You young people should get down on your knees and thank God you're living in a time when you have light bulbs. In my day all we had was animal-fat torches to FReep by. Woolly Mammoths. Sabertooth tigers. Dialup modems. Helen Thomas in a bear-skin teddy. The horror. The horror.

At least 5 or 6 who will claim the burned-out bulb is Steve Bartman's fault. And a few hundred who think Grady Little should have seen that the bulb clearly had nothing left, and changed it before it was too dark to see.
