    How many billions of dollars is the U.S. still sending to Egypt each and every year, no matter what they do? Is there anything Egypt COULD do to stop the flow of money?

  5. Doctor Whom   10 years ago

    In terms of government dumbfuckery, the Islamic world is the low-hanging fruit, or maybe it’s the fruit that has already fallen off of the tree and is starting to attract yellowjackets.

  6. Doctor Whom   10 years ago

    OT: In case no one else has noted it, He Who Must Not Be Named has apologized.

    Kirby Delauter apologizes.

    1. Adans smith   10 years ago

      Is he a Muslim prophet too? Can you show his pic?

    2. Libertarian   10 years ago
