Quote of the Day
'We didn't have time to see the casket, but we did see the people lining up for the viewing--the backdrop for Couric's makeshift outdoor set. Reagan, of course, was more responsible than anyone else for the end of communism, a system among whose lesser horrors were that it forced people to spend much of their lives in queues for such necessities as food and toilet paper. Somehow then it seems a fitting tribute that thousands of free men and women would voluntarily wait in line to pay their last respects.'
-James Taranto.

yes it is widly know that in america's effort to defeat communism that we looked over other evils to achive the defeat of the USSR.
Now we get to clean up the mess that we made, with out the needless worrries of wonder what Russia thinks.
Because when we were fighting communism it was either you are for them or for us. Bin ladin and Hussein i guess thought that we would be better allies than the USSR.
If i was in their position i would have thought that also.

Suck on a shotgun!
Posted by: Radical Redneck at June 12, 2004 03:57 PMMeesha (sorry, should that be "Emperor"?), you are a despicable fuckwit. An armchair General with loads of big talk on your frankly laughable website. What war did you serve in? Cube and Karol made a reasonable enough, and factual response (to a factual point in the first place). But you resort to your usual abusive attempt at humour. Tit!

Posted by: Stephen Silver at June 13, 2004 12:12 AMUrbane, Misha? Where?
Stephen, but not for things like toilet paper and milk. Our supermarket lines are nothing compared to what happens when the government plans poorly and has limited toilet paper for the whole city.

Don't drink and comment !

Yeah, he dared to have the USSR and Khomeni's Iran as enemies. Brilliant, strawman attempt to piss on a great leader's grave. Of course McDouchebag (his retarded handle is even more stupid than pretentious) thinks this is just swell.
Go back to what you do best - sucking suppositories out of your grandma's ass!
