Do not forget those who died in calamities, natural or manmade. As for the two dictators and that mafioso of a terrorist, may Divine Justice give to their victims what human justice has failed to provide. Requiescat in pace. |

A moose bit my sister once...

I didn't know Don Knotts died.
:( I was still trying to imitate him saying "Nip it in the bud!" but as far as Milosevic, Al-Zarqawi, Ken Lay, Pinochet, and Hussien; we ain't gonna miss 'em. Good-BYE, and good riddance to human waste. |
