18. I was thinking the same thing |
|
This seems to be a daily occurrence. Maybe the mods should just pin it to the top of LBN and change the date from time to time. It'll save a little bandwidth...

22. A time stamp could be useful too. |
|
The weather channel has weather on the eights.
These explosions and "insurgent" bombings are occurring with similar regularity.
How about "Loud Booms" on the 2s?

they're just starting construction of George W. Bush square... they're blasting the bedrock to make room for the foundations for the 200ft golden statue of War-President Bush as a small token of thanks from a grateful nation.

24. Reporting News like this is just helping the Insurgents |
|
or terrorists or the liberated Iraqi people, however you want to look at it. Shut up!!!! Everything is fine over there and saying stuff like this, well, it just demorilizes the soldiers.

29. Does anyone have a link? |
|
I haven't seen anything on CNN.com, Fauxnews.com, ABCNews.com, and I haven't seen anything. Are explosions just such a way of life they don't even get reported? Or was this one of those flashing banners and no one knows what the hell just got blown up? Ugh.. what a mess.
