OK, the party’s over.

Not a big turnout. Sorry, Hussy! You were so right, if you don’t scare shit out of people, they mostly don’t give a shit.

Before this month is over let’s say goodbye to other April boys:

4-22-1870 Vladimir Ulianov (Lenin)

4-20-1889 Adolf Hitler

It is a function of who they hate the most, **Sam**.

I honestly don’t think some of the folks around here think of their own wives as often as they think about Bush.

I find this kinda hard to take seriously, from someone whose entire fucking universe revolves around Clinton’s knob.

What a ‘wonderful’ birthday present he was given by a small number of US troops in Iraq [\<sad\>](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3672901.stm)

Thanks for the picture, BtB. Made. My. Day.

I wish it was Saddam standing there, hooded, with genitals wired, with alligator clamps.

Or at least one of his henchmen, getting the idea what his victims were going through.

But impossible, right? Those Americans only speak about justice, while all they do is torture innocent people, right?

Oh, thanks a fuck of a lot.

Just when I thought I had forgotten, you gotta come along and remind me.

Shit!
