Thank you. That's made me almost asphyixate you bastard. Metaxa + good jokes clearly don't mix.

I hope your wife (if you have one) makes you rot in hell.

Sorry. I'm trying to breath O2 again.

Good joke my friend. Really good joke.

And for good measure:
"The dictator of Iraq and his weapons of mass destruction are a threat to the security of free nations." - President Bush, 3/16/03

vs.

U.N.: Iraq had no WMD after 1994" - David Kay, the former U.S. chief inspector 3/22/04

Those are the simple facts. Some of us are human enough to get emotional about these lies about security, and the catastrophes we accept when we accept the lies. What kind of emotions keep *you* perpetuating them?
