A
diary below by Silentspring, which may have vanished by now, forced me to post this one.
I received this earlier in the week but I have held off posting it. I probably shouldn't have, but I did. Maybe I was ashamed to be in the same country. Maybe I couldn't believe it. But I held off posting it. Now I wish I hadn't.
My neighbor sent out a "Bush Joke" to some folks and I was on the TO list. One recipient sent it on to a second layer of recipients. And someone winger in the second echelon did a "Reply All" with his own thoughs and comments which made it back to me. In defense, my neighbor "has no idea who this is or where they live." This is good, because my neighbors are nice folks.
More around the bend
The "Reply All" said, among other angry and awful things,
"A friend of my brother is working the national guard in new orleans and related that Navy Seals were brought in after the first night of looting and misbehaving. They took out 150, so many be those bodies you see floating around were target practice; one can only hope."
In America, right? The Navy uses human beings for "target practice," right?
I cry...no, I weep...for America.
