#1 US will fund construction of 152 new schools and refurbishment of 255 more within the next six months

And that's in addition to the daycares that Osama bin Laden has built...

You know, the one's Al Qaeda Patty Muraay sez he built...

Wait...

He didn't build any did he?

#2 And this is what the explosives which blew up on the train in Iran were prolly for: destroying progress in Afghanistan.

I am no fan of the Afghans, whether Karzai or the warlords or the sycophantic and mercenary nature of its "fighters", but this makes me swallow very hard and feel ashamed that I haven't ackowledged how much the troops have accomplished outside of Kabul. Awesome. There are insufficient stories on this progress (of course!) and I've been remiss in seeking out such info. Simply Awesome!

#4 Okay... another reason Karzai wouldn't care for me is cuz I don't share his sartorial splendor.

Geez, make an open honest comment and whaddya get? Snickering derision, it seems. Don't worry, I don't make the same mistake twice. And I hate Steinbrenner - he's in the same special "Mysterious Physics" category as Trump: People who are so vacuous they should've already imploded, by now.

#6 Yeah, we reserve snickering derision for people we like. People we don't like get mocking derision.
