So out of hundereds only 5 remain?

[abnegation]

Five that Mother Nature will be weeding out shortly.

[Hank Rearden]

'I am staying put splat and everybody, all of the other Australians I have spoken to as of yesterday, intended to stay put splat,' she said.

[ewing]

Darwin already has his winners this year.

[mbynack]

So they're using a lawyer as a human shield? They actually think that lawyer will deter attacking forces? That is naive.

[Fedupwithit]

Port Kembla barrister Rosemary Gillepsie, 62 is one of five Australians covering three sites that may be of interest to the United States Military.

She's 62? She has one foot in the grave already! Outlived her usefulness and now she is going out in a blaze of glory..Oh well...

too bad, so sad..

[Drango]

Tell 'em not to stand in front of any bulldozers. (oh, never mind)

[abnegation]

I guess it is never too early to try for next year. (g)

[eyespysomething]

hell, at least some of them had the guts to follow through.


Notice I didn't say anything about smarts, just guts, lots of 'em, all over the place.

[ewing]

That would want to make me get rid of them even more if they put a lawyer out there front and center!

[Lonely NY Conservative]

I would think that positioning a lawyer in front of a potential military target would be similar to lighting it up with a laser range finder.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

I hope they're wearing "bulls-eye" t-shirts. Not that it will be needed.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Next of kin?

[ewing]

At least she is dedicated! An old dedicated fool, but dedicated nevertheless..

[Centurion2000]

If they are still there when bombs start falling I will give them a minimum level of respect for at least being courageous under fire.

[Moose4]

Two words: Buh. Bye.

Be sure to wear nice white T-shirts and slickers with reflective tape so you show up better in the camera pod footage, mmmkay?

}:-)4

[Semper Paratus]

Two words: Buh. Bye.

Two more: 'roo stew.

[ewing]

I guess she at least be credited with following through with a plan!

[finnman69]

I wonder if their insurance policies are voided by suicide?

[Solson]

While they're there, have them leave their cell phones on and actually speak to someone so we can lock in on location and more accurately bomb the shi-ite out of them...
