Why we fight

Perhaps it's the weather -- Hmm, it seems to be raining again. How odd for Portland in winter? -- or the nasty cold/flu/general unwellness I'm suffering from, but the world just seems like a dangerous and screwed-up place right now. We're destroying the environment, we're undoing all the good things Earl Warren did, Sister Coretta died, World War III is about to break out in the Middle East, etc. etc. Plus, as much as I want our troops to come home and Iraq not to turn into even more of a Vietnam-like mess, there are some fundamental threats to our way of life -- say that while doing your best George Bush impression -- out there.

Case in point, this story..

I respect your right to worship your God in pretty much whatever way you'd like. But, coward that I am, I'd for damned sure pick up a gun to defend my beloved First Amendment.

"We are angry — very, very, very angry," said Jamila Al Shanty, one of six women elected to represent Hamas in the Palestinian Parliament. "No one can say a bad word about our prophet."

your prophet's mom is so fat, she jumped in the air and got stuck...

she's so ugly hellen keller turned away...

she's so dumb she she stared at the oj box 'cause it said concentrate...

I doubt WWIII will be over in time for your boy and our boy, so we are looking for property in Mexico, you in?

Do you think Mexico is safe enough? I'm thinking maybe further south.

I was thinking of moving to Portland to escape this increasingly disturbing maelstrom over in these near Middle Eastern parts (Greece). The news over the cartoons just gets scarier....

Everyone should move to Portland. Except then there would be too many of us. Shoot.
