It is America's fault that this is happening!!!

Why have we not installed water stations in the desert for these fools like we are supposed to do for the Mexicans!!!!

I feel JUST terrible!!

I have tears on my keyboard!!

A little housecleaning maybe?

[Bahbah]

About a kagillion. This will take a long time.

Truly for some, something is written.

They found him strapped in the limo with all the windows rolled up. The chauffeur just forgot to take him out of the car.

Yes, he's 25 years, not 25 months, but ROYALTY don't do anything for themselves.

IS "thrist" some kind of disease? Probably venereal disease caught from sodomy of camels.

If he was Mexican, the government would give him condoms to help him cross the desert.

"see where all these Princes stand in the line of power"

Now? Unplugged.

I remember getting off an Air Force C-12 in Riyadh in August. The AC told me it was 140 on the tarmac. My first breath was like sucking flames into my lungs. I'm from Detroit. That prince, a son of the desert, should've taken some very basic precautions. The plot thickens.

Who cares where his spot in line was. What I want to know is was hee Pro Western or one of bin Laden's backers? Answering that one will get you to the bottom of what's going on.

At the risk of being flamed, he didn't choose his parents. May he and his family find comfort.

[kattracks]

Bingo!

[Conagher]

Can we nominate him for an Al-Darwini Award?

[lizma]

It appears the Saudi's are try to fix a "problem" whatever that might be.

Terrorist funding maybe?? That's another ROFL.
