I was reading an article posted on JU Link , where the last comment (at the time... I'm sure the 3 people participating have bumped it up) asked for an Iraqi citizen's opinion. Now, I'm not an Iraqi citizen, but I spent some time searching for something appropriate on the net. Unfortunately, non

Sangus - You might have difficulty finding him lately. He's completely immersed in alcohol. Er. I mean, the football game. (He's only soaking in the sauce.) Honestly, grey has gone on record as saying he's terrible at FPS. You'll have to take him on at something he's good at... I suggest face-to-face SSX3.

1. Not that I feel I have to (as you were only attacking a certain segment of this particular population), but allow me to be the first to stick up for my wife. I feel she is one of the ones that Gideon would say should be commended, and is most definitely not one of the ones the good Lady is ranting about. 2. I don't know if the story you tell of the attempted suicide is true or not, but even if the self-inflicted wounds *had* been fatal,

Damn those "short term needs" like security! Yet when Iraqi civilians are blown up by the dozens because they are waiting in line for jobs as police, officers of the law, civil servants... there rises the cry against, not the insurgents, but the Americans, for lack of security.

3. My buddy Sangus worked for awhile as a Forensics Photographer, as kind of a summer job/internship bit while he was in high school. His two worst stories were: A) The decomposing body that was found in the woods. He had to (try to) photograph it during the autopsy. Vomitted everywhere when they sliced it open... the smell. B) The crazy-ass bitch who lit her car on fire to spite her husband...

No, but we might hate for them to think that we know more about them than we want them to know. You know? Say, that we know enough about them that a relatively low-ranking Commanding Officer might identify them to his entire unit? (Or, on the flip side, that the commander shouldn't've done that, and someone may have dimed him out on the 'net... great, now that's my paranoid theory.)

CB jumps back on the blogwagon, but not entirely. He claims that he will no longer be writing actively about his personal experiences in Iraq, because he does not want to subject himself to censorship. Personally, I feel that being bullied into keeping your yap shut for fear of being told specifically to keep your yap shut pretty much qualifies as censorship anyway,

Aside from Clerks, and then Chasing Amy (although I've flip-flopped on this order in the past), my next favorite Kevin Smith works are his run on Daredevil (#'s 1-13, I believe) and then the first story-arc of Green Arrow (after Ollie was brought back from the dead). Then it's Dogma and Mallrats (not having seen Jersey Girl, nor intending to voluntarily or, at the least, sober).
