Can someone please help me logically justify the rate of return on “investing” $12 billion a month on the war in Iraq? Is that really what the oil reserve in Iraq is valued at? I assume more if you include inflation over the past 5 years. WTF.

Dead Fish Can’t Vote? That’s Fishism.
Yes, in Chicago a Dead Fish was registered to vote.
“There was no fraud involved,” said Nudelman, a Democrat who supports Barack Obama. “This person is a dead fish.”
