    Pro-Russian forces in the Ukraine? So the Democratic Party is branching out.

    Wait! Mexican Army invaded Arizona? Claims they were lost? Well, maybe if all the signs on this side of the border were in English they’d have realized their mistake before they shot a US citizen!

    Why do you raaaaaacists hate Islam! Mitt Romney had binders full of women! That’s practically a catalogue! /sarc

    The problem with the protesters of the Islamic kidnapping is that they are trying to reason with people who are inherently unreasonable.

    Okay so… I just *didn’t* sign a petition (elsewhere) to get the abducted girls back despite the “what are you waiting for?” part of the post… I mean… I’m gonna sign a freaking *petition* and feel like I did something? (He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum and said….”)

    And what’s with “get the girls back”… and “find the girls”? How about, “Wipe the subhuman Boko Haram from the face of the planet along with his army so they stop stealing AIR.” Hum?

    Much better to ‘protest’ with a bullet at 2000 feet per second. Just one suddenly makes the hardest head much more open to reason.
