Lost in translation

The reports of the huge Baghdad bank heist last week were somewhat startling…….over one-quarter of a billion dollars……..funding for terrorism………an inside job………etc.

Turns out, it was 282 million Dinars, not Dollars…..or aproximately $590,000.

A tidy sum, to be sure, but nothing to lose any sleep over.

I’ve never actually used anything like rock salt, just the itsy pellets for the .410 when I don’t particularly want something dead, just discouraged.

Note to Swampie, consult the Box O’Truth, before bothering with rock salt in a shotgun shell. Better off with #7.
Me? If I see a horde of horny heifers in pink marching down the road in my direction, I’ll start dropping them at several hundred yards, and for those that persist in their attempt, have lots of fun party favors for close-in work.
There ain’t a pitchfork available that can match my AR15.

It is about time us “peasants” (in the eyes of the Fascist Ruling Elite) march on DC with our “pitchforks” of righteous anger and our “torches” of truth to demand the ouster of BushCo. I have a dream of the detention centers that George has built and filled being instead filled with Orange Clad neo-cons and neo-connettes.

While red is my color, I’m not averse to a vivid orange. It is clearly superior to her sad-ass pink. I’m a little curious as to how, exactly, she intends to round up this neo-connette. Is it with the neo-con/ette police force, or the neo-con/ette military? Or perhaps she would send some ugly women armed with bare saggy chests and stupid slogans.

I’ve never been to Pamplona, but I reckon if I sit on the front porch and wait for the preliminary chanting, sign waving, and breast baring of the pink gestapo prior to hauling me off to the detention center, I could release the dogs and watch the running of the cows.

/Note to Self: Alert the neighbors so there will be no innocent trampling fatalities.

/Additional Note to Self: Make sure to only release fat slow dogs so none of the dogs would actually catch one and drag it back to the yard. Hmmmmm. Maybe a shotgun with rock salt would be better.

Well, if anybody had a paltry $590,000 they’re willing to give me, I wouldn’t be insulted…
