The Horror Of Last Year

As the unending natural tragedy in Louisiana and Mississippi continues to unfold, I would like to take a moment to look back on the man-made tragedy of last year:

May the bastards who did this burn eternally in what ever hells they fear most.

Thanks to Sheila for the poignant reminder.

I didn't say it at Sheila's (because politics = no no over there) but it INFURIATED me that our media refused to call the hostage-takers what they were -- Islamic terrorists.

Oh, noooooo. They were "rebels". Rebels fight their government, they don't kill babies.

Bastards. Cowardly, women and children killing bastards.

Did you ever read that Onion joke about the car bomber and suicide bomber that collided? Funny and yet one of the most poignant pieces I've ever read on the mentality of Islamic extremists. It used very cleverly, and unintentionally I'm sure, to get into the minds of a cleric extremist.

"I just think of all the innocent bystanders who are still alive and ask Allah, 'Why? Why?'"

The scum that did that infuriate me beyond reason. I wish I could kill them myself. Slowly of course.
