Why sleep when I can stay awake and find priceless quotes like this, from "Rajia Dhanjani, a 22-year-old hairdresser from south London," concerning trouble on an anti-war protest trip to Baghdad:
"I thought it would be hard when we got to Baghdad, but I had no idea the trip would be this awful. I thought the journey would be one long party."Priceless, priceless -- this sort of thing makes me want to jump up and dance around in glee, it's so idiotically awful and typical of these airheads.

Hahaha! Priceless. I am linking this on my blog. The way I see it, anti-war protests are just like a big rave - only without the music.

Oh, and thanks for fixing the comments, Andrea. I'm not sure if you changed the font size, or if the black on white is just more legible, but it's fine now.

Particularly funny is the peaceniks' befuddlement that their trip hasn't yet metamorphosed into a politically informed version of Cliff Richard's Summer Holiday. Hopefully the Marines will give them a lift home once they reach Baghdad.
