"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
"Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas
"Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex
It appears that September was a good month all around. Lowest number of casualties in a while, too.
But I heard the surge is a total failure and the war is lost.
How can I resolve this disconnect?
Might all this talk be politics?
Say nay! Please!!

This is just a thought that appeals to my darker side, but can we change the faceless black silhouettes in the red boxes to more of a splatter pattern? It might remind them of the inevitability of their decision to join these groups.
Being in business, I was interested in the captured documents, including their expense account. If I were to justify it as I did so many times back in the day I was a district manager for a large insurance company, I could basically go along with everything, except for one (1) specific item.
“Purchasing sheep”. I’m sorry, but I would never have approved that one! You know. Unless they could “be more specific,” as my boss would so often say. Such as: was the “sheep” item a purchase, a lease or a rental, and if so, for how long? What “services” did the sheep provide?
Perhaps the stories about the whahabbists, mullahs, goats and sheep, you know… out in the fields, have some merit after all. Here’s the recorded proof. Do you think they thought it may even be deductible?
The six discount sheep were the September allocation of virgins. October’s are goats. The 72 Virgin Dating Service membership benefits extend for one year (as explained in the very fine print on thereverse side).
Therapist1…I’m with you, perhaps a chalk outline would be less gruesome though.

September gives a whole new meaning to the word – Jackpot. What about using their faces as a connect-the-dots game – resulting picture is the business end of a very large gun…
