Iraq kills boars.

This is why we'll be in Iraq forever.

It would seem as though the Iraqi government is completely retarded.

The boars were in a zoo.

They tested negative for swine flu.

They were put to sleep all the same.

The boars were the ones more likely to catch the flu from human visitors, not the other way around. The stupidity here is staggering. People wonder why this country is slow to get back on it's feet. Looks like all the smart people were killed when the U.S. invaded.

I'm not looking at this from an animal lover's point of view either, this is just damned stupid. I bet they shoot at eclipses because they think a snake is eating the sun...

Republican reinvention: inane babbling.

You can't polish a turd.

But they're going to try.

Here's what would would make me vote Republican:

1. Keep out of people's personal lives. What two consenting adults do in a bedroom is none of Uncle Sam's business. Telling people who they can't marry is also an intrusion.

2. Be cheap. As in, stop blowing trillions of dollars on weapons, stop bending common people over in front of big business, and stop allowing American jobs to be shipped overseas or given to Mexicans.

3. Realize that American, as big and tough as it is, can't fight 30 wars at a time.

There was nothing conservative about the last Republican administration, and there's nothing conservative about them now. They wan't a bigger government, no questions asked, to meddle in foreign affairs, and suck up all the natural resources. The only thing they're conservative about is human rights and not giving what's due.

Basically, start being cheap with money and not on common sense and human rights, and we'll talk, Republicans.

They won't, of course. They'll go out into the country shouting "The Muslim Liberals are coming to take your guns, abort your babies, and burn your Bibles! And tax you without representation!"

And people will believe them.
