122 People Killed in Somalia Violence

TSK TSK.

These silly AP writers fail to grasp the true, dirty fact that all Islamists are extremists, so they keep repeating it over and over and over.

Africa is convulsing from one end to the other, but the great citizens of the USA are too busy watching Amerikkkan Idol or Survivor or 24 or whatever it is this week, of which I can proudly say I have never seen any, to get a grasp on the issues.

Of course we're being bankrupted by BushCo's imperial war waging on Iraq and Amerikkka still hasn't gotten a grasp on those issues either.

I'm hesitant to converse with the many who complain they can't keep up with political information but park their asses in front of sports spectaculars and crime shows and all the other racist, classist, stupid trash that crams the publicly owned airwaves.

How many of you in the dunce caps and white sheets, yeah, you with the burning crosses and framed 8 by 10s of blonde Jesus, still think Saddam was in league with Islamist extremists?

Yeah. That's what I thought. The same number who voted for Bush to protect their constitutional right to oppress homosexuals, yet are whining about gas prices.
