Clever… until you actually try to use the candle, and burn up your loot. Whoops.

Snow in Iraq?

Well… the one thing I didn’t think would happen has. It’s snowing in Iraq. Go figure. Deserts are now cold and snowy! I’m thinking tundra better describes Iraq in the winter. The snow is not sticking of course, so we have fun puddles to make mud everywhere. Snow is kind of nice, better than rain anyway. Still, I got up, ready to go workout, saw it starting to turn to snow, and lost that motivation. I’m not eager to go run in some muddy water and get dirty, wet, cold and sick. I would if my platoon was, but not for myself. That’s the thing about me. I really don’t do much for myself… It’s more about what I can do for others. What can I do to make you happy?
It hasn’t snowed here in Baghdad for something like a hundred years. The mountainous northwest border with Turkey, yeah… but not downtown, oasis city Baghdad. The people here have only seen snow in movies and called it “raining snow.” It was a surprise enough that there was no violence during that time.
Yesterday I had a voice conference. Basically, a secure line is set up and we talk over phones in a conference. We had the commander of the rear detachment on to discuss the battalion’s yearbook. We’re still trying to finalize the pictures and money. It should be nice though.
So yeah, about the time you went to sleep (or at least when the sensible people were) is when it started snowing in Iraq (0730 local time). I caught a few on my tongue!
Have a good day people!

Cow Windchime Was $19.98 Now $17.85 is “udderly” delightful! It’s no simple “moo” from this clever bovine—instead, you’ll hear the melodic sound of chimes when breezes blow. Whimsical cow is a real conversation piece with her long eyelashes, little horns, and two youngsters tagging along. Wood body and udders with metallic chimes as legs. 33-1/2″ H.
This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Yet, I find it so “udderly” delightful! How whimsical this cow is! I wonder why it is such a “real conversation piece?” I think because the person that you are showing off your Cow Windchime to is probably asking you “What the hell were you on when you bought this, and then decided it was so cool that you should call me up and show it off to me? You sicko.”
The Bible Belt is real!

The reality is that someone decided to make a couch that looks – well, like a vagina. Doesn’t that look comfortable? Check out the Craiglist Posting. It’s only $600, a relative steal for vagina-shaped furniture.

Not only will you look dead sexy in your wearable mosquito net, but you also won’t ever have to spend money again on a wonderful invention called “bug spray.” It’s just a shame the pants weren’t pictured.
As interesting as the 2008 elections have been thus far, I can’t help but have this feeling that a rare few of the candidates are actually acknowledging the dire look at the future for America… one which is rapidly becoming the present. Are the candidates simply putting on a brave face for America by pretending like our economy isn’t slipping into a recession, are they trying to convince us that our nation is just as stable as it has always been with their positivity, or is this just another popularity contest? It is very hard to tell these days. All I know is that inflation is increasing, banks are closing, the stock market isn’t feeling so fierce, we’re still in a war we never could afford, and the Fed is once again planning on giving America another shot of steroids… but we all know what happens when you cheat too often with steroids. Someone finds out, and the outcome is never pretty.
Pat Buchanan puts out a great article describing the jeopardy in which America has put herself. Read Pat’s article (it does this topic justice).

You thought the tie made you a true patriot? Well, that’s not patriotic enough! If you buy this, then you can tell your friends that you sleep in blanket that proudly displays various patriotic phrases, bitch. And it’s made in the USA too. I wonder if it’s made at the same factory as the tie.
