News Snip

Defender of Freedom, Faithful reader, and handsome devil Real JeffS tipped me off to today's mass circumcision in Morocco by several thousand men to 'celebrate' the circumcision of the King's son.

Good thing the Queen didn't have a mastectomy...

I hope JeffS had his door locked and barred, seeing as he's in a Muslim country. Did they hand out special armor?

Sometimes the local festivals aren't conducive to outsider participation.

Since they're riding by on camels instead of Fords (camels being far more reliable) I guess the spacing on the signs needs to be adjusted somewhat.

Remind me again, which country has rampant group think, with citizens at the mercy of the whims of their leaders?

Or to ask it another way: how many people do you know decided to wear flight suits to celebrate W's carrier landing?

Actually, the burden beast of choice here is the Toyota. For those whom manual labor is beneath them, SUVs (various manufacturers) are the current rage. Older vehicles tend to be Ford sedans that somehow weathered a ware or two.

As for armor.....that's why I went to the range to qualify earlier this week.

Oops!! I meant "...a war or two."

Don't the Libyans have a bunch of Toyota pickups with .50s mounted in the bed?

This is a Somali Technical.

And read this description of Somalia. Sheesh...
