You are welcome. Although right now I'm eating Easter candy and typing on the internet, so life is pretty good.
Explosions in cities get echoed around and while this one was about 300 meters away and fairly loud, I couldn't tell what direction it was until somebody told me. This is the second attack on the embassy in the last couple weeks; they pop off one round and then run like crazy. They hit our FOBs occasionally in the same way.
This must be what the view is like for Bin Laden, assuming he sees anything at all.
The media would (and still might) turn this into the Tet Offensive all over again but because our boys are doing such a great job over there the media refuses to have any reporters based there.
Yeah....they can't say "stroke" or "heart attack" without saying "massive" first.
Note to self: short MSM stocks as soon as possible.
Weren't Gov. Bush and a few others in Kabul recently?
