Pokey:

Yesterday when I was at the dentist I had fairly serious oral surgery, and the dentist gave me some pain pills ... Percodan ... they are quite strong ... fortunately, I am under the influence of those narcotic pain pills at this very moment, so this Steyn piece made perfect sense to me.

What's up with our boy?

LOL, they can print some things in British papers that I don't think American papers could get away with. This was priceless.

"For the last time, this is how the allegory works: I'm Saddam and you're Scott Ritter. No, wait. . ."

Was there ever any doubt?

Mark Steyn: Last camel from Baghdad

Isn't that the truth?......


Warning! Warning!


I can excerpt this part with minor adjustment, tho...

"Stop it!" yelled the King, covering his ears and shattering the night silence with a piercing scream. In the hush that followed, he could just make out the loyal members of his faithful praetorian guard in the corridor saying, "Hear that? Someone's put a knife in the old b*****d" and breaking into a chorus of Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead. "Look, Zabibah," he said, calmly. "For the last time, this is how the allegory works: I'm Saddam and you're Scott Ritter. No, wait. . ."



Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

I have the Viet Nam War version of that image, with an elephant instead of a camel, labeled "North Vietnamese Heavy Artillery".

"Shut up," snapped the King. "You might be a right purdy l'il honey lyin' there like - hang on, why am I suddenly talking in a Texan accent?"

ROFL! Love it.

Thanks for the ping, Meekie....I think. Mr. Steyn is surrounded by enemies. Perhaps we should all send him a nice gift basket to say thanks....some cheese, sausage, chocolates...some of those cute little jellies. Get some rest, Mr. Steyn. We're counting on you.
