    Default The Apocalypse is Near

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080424/...l_palestinians

    I never imagined the US, Great Britain, and France walking together on anything. This just blows my historically oriented mind away. I...I need moment...

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    UNITED NATIONS - Libya's deputy ambassador to the United Nations confirmed Thursday that he compared the situation in Gaza to Nazi concentration camps, but toughened his language and said matters are actually "worse" in Gaza.


    Ibrahim Dabbashi said Wednesday during a closed Security Council meeting that the situation in Gaza is as bad as concentration camps in Nazi Germany, according to diplomats present. The remarks led the United States, Britain, France and others to walk out, a rare protest by members of the U.N.'s most powerful body against one of their own members.

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Who would have thought that the UN was holding a Moron-a-thon this close to the olympics?

    It is pointless to listen to anything coming out of that festering pile.

    Action against hyperbole is paramount. Let us unite against exaggeration. Allow no overstatement to stand unchallenged. By God and his Angels we will not let bad grammar pass for we are the Victors of Vernacularity!

    We don't give a rat's patuckus if the people of Gaza/Darfur/Rwanda/anywhere are slaughtered, but that, of course, is a lesser matter.

    Long live the Alliance!

    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
