Snapped Shot

Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

Pining for Equipment Damage

When I first saw a photo like this earlier today, I could've sworn that there was something wrong with the photographer's camera. Or, perhaps, that I was reliving some of the excitement out of The Grudge:

Oh, if only it could be something as simple as that:—For it to be such a simple explanation would certainly be far less depressing. When will our government officials stop feeling the need to reach out and be "inclusive" with everyone in the world, and start standing up for American things again? For all of the "inclusiveness" we've sewn in the world over the past 10 years, I have yet to see one single shred more "peace" shown towards Americans as a result. Well, other than from the French, that is.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*I was really hoping Laura would get suicide bombed or something, but that she would not leave the middle east in one peace. Not that I have anything against her or the bush administration, but think of the drama! Georgy would be preeetty pissed at the arab world if they killed his wife.

*-crickets-

Dude, I wouldn't wish that on my enemies, much less the First Lady.

As a bit of friendly advice, you may want to tone it down a bit, 'fore you get a visit from the Secret Service...

Regards,
Brian
