#1 I read from a pundit - or maybe it was one of you guys - an observation that it's laughable that we were worried about offending Moslems by continuing to attack Afghanistan during Ramadan. Maybe Ramadan is the Moslem season of killing. It would make sense to eliminate some extra mouths to feed prior to winter in an agrarian tribal society.

One of my kids asked whether the Ramada Inn holds any celebration particular to Ramadan. I think I have passed on a gene that will lead them into trouble in life.

#2 Yeah, how come everybody else gotta tiptoe around during Ramadan so to not offend our Muslim cousins, while they just walk out the front door in the morning and start blasting away at anybody and anything?
Another illustration of Religion of Peace hypocracy, maybe?

#3 Maybe its just hard to get into the Ramadan spirit. They should sing some Ramadan carols to lighten things up. After a couple of years the carols could be changed into muzak for general consumption. The Santa Claus concept wouldn't work for them. He'd be climbing down the chimney and leaving new det cord and timers and all hell would break loose.

#4 "The government demands that these individuals regain their self-control and abandon this project."

Borrowed from darkest Africa. Maybe it will work in Afghanistan. Super Hose: if I wasn't so busy right now I would cook up a Ramadan carol. Michael Morley: you are a good impromptu lyricist, er lyric writer. How bout fillin' in on this one? Thanks.

#5 I tried Walking in a ~~Shia~~ Moslem Wonderland, but never made it past bandolier. A math major son of an English teacher trying to write a poem is a pitiful thing.
