They were allegedly gifts for a poor couple who could only afford plain sex. Or was it for the animal shelter? I don't recall. I know it was WWJD.

      I had to wait all this time? You people are slow.
      
      Garden vegetables? Luxury! We could only dream of garden vegetables. We had to use old corn cobs!
      
      We all know where this is going.

        Corn cobs? Why, all I had was "despair" and "anxiety" scratched onto each fist.

        At least you had hands to cuff. My stubs were all pinned down with acacia thorns and all I had for solace was a armadillo wandering by. Sweet, sweet armadillo...

...not before ?us?ing one she stole months earlier to buy ?discount sex toys online,? federal authorities charged.

What are discount sex toys? Anyway, funds are fungible, so can't we say that she freed up moneys to pay for the food she needs for her and her family to stay alive?

I wonder what Bok would do with a story like this? Gives new meaning to the term "going postal", huh?

This is what happens when you tell government officials to go fuck themselves. Or not to steal other people's stuff.

Speaking of dildos, Kerry has been SoS for four years yet today -- three weeks before he leaves his job -- he's going to bless us with his knowledge and insight per this morning's headlines:

"U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will lay out his vision for ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a speech on Wednesday,. . . "

And, as always, The Guardian never disappoints. Never.

  Middle East peace process
  
  What a concept!
  1. Will4Freedom 8 years ago
    
    Has there ever been peace in the Middle East?
    
    I'm pretty old and I don't remember, if there was.
    
    I think humans, in general, are a pretty violent species. There's always some conflict going on somewhere. Sad.

      The purpose of the middle east peace process is to create jobs for diplomats.
