An exercise.

So. Let's think about this. How big is your family? Your immediate family. How many brothers and sisters do you have?

Or, possibly, how many children do you have (and you love your kids, right)? Grandparents? Let's assume your immediate family is five or six people.

Okay, no, imagine you're all at home one day. Doing whatever it is you do. Baking bread, having eggs for breakfast or sitting down to a cup of tea at the end of the day.

Okay, now you're dead. The neighbours on either side of you? Also dead.

Eighteen people dead, and the guy they were going for? Oh, he wasn't in.

When did the Americans declare war on Pakistan, again?

Well, they may not have killed any terrorists, but at least they didn't make any new ones, so we're all even, right?

Thursday. It was in an appropriations bill. $3 million for schools, $5 for health care, and $40 billion to, and I quote, "kill all them there furiners."

Man, I'm so glad this administration is awash in corruption scandals. I don't think we can impeach the Shrub but his party is in the process of getting its balls cut off with a rusty butter knife, and about time.

While I agree with you completely, I'm boggled by the fact that we can't impeach the bastard. He's done more than enough to at least warrant the impeachement process, if not the actual verdict of being removed from office, yet nobody's even seriously brought it up. :-/

This, I suppose, is the result of having a single party in power in all three branches of government.

Yeah, basically. Also, it'd be awfully hard to do and take up a lot of time; just look at how Clinton ran rings around the Republicans when they tried to impeach him for getting a blowjob.

Besides, let history judge him. It will not be kind.
