That thing with the American kids not being able to find Iraq versus the Australian med school students not being able to find a liver was pretty funny, though. Totally ripped the joke off when I reposted on a forum I go to. Mwahaha, plagiarism. I’m too tired to comment on your post, Allah.

(Maybe I can start a tradition, or maybe I'll get slapped down. I'll risk it once) A non-blogging friend of mine -- Viet Nam vet, serious student of Russian and Mideastern History -- sent me a "Cinco de Mayo gift" consisting of an excellent two-part essay on the illegal aliens situation. He, and I, are well to the right of center on the issue but I think there's a significant portion of the population that would agree with everything he wrote. I think a lot of your readers might find <a href="http://www.smalltownveteran.net/posts/2006/05/a_cinco_de_mayo.html" rel="nofollow">A "Cinco de Mayo gift" from Rurik</a> worth reading.

Flag burners, because they're burning the flag of a country that is so free, <em>it lets them burn its flag</em>; anti-flag-burners, because they act out of love of this country, but are doing something (suppression of speech) that is antithetical to this country's values.
