I really don't mind that they were hired to kill the bad guys (the bad guys should have expected it).

I really like the Response to Misleading Press Reports...
The joint audit by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction and the United State Department of State Inspector General released yesterday
does not, as some press reports have suggested, allege that Blackwater was ever complicit in overbilling the United States government
for work it performed in Iraq in 2006 and 2007.
The audit does not even state that the government overpaid Blackwater for staffing issues. All it suggests is that invoices spanning a
period of time are reviewed. A $55 million penalty has in no way been determined.
In fact, the government contracting officer determined that Blackwater was compliant with the terms of the contract at the time for which they
were reviewing and the therefore did not apply any deductions or penalties. Blackwater only billed for services provided.
Sounds honest to me.

Sounds like a really cool event! Was the winery open for tasting? Oh, and... AnotherWorld - Gazing at the stars is a good time, but sex and rock and roll are pretty damn fun, too. - Joe— August 25, 2009 1:55 p.m.
Pedicab Crackdown
Man this costume chafes. Crap. Traffic. I just wanted a quick ride to the catering trailer. This movie set sucks. I'm going to punch Lucas. The Farsi is strong with this one. I can't seem to find the blaster controls in this Tie Fighter. Resistance Is Futile, er, um... nevermind.— August 25, 2009 7:09 a.m.

I just got this mental image of Josh standing on his porch, shaking his cane, yelling "Get off my lawn, you darn whippersnappers, with your Tidder and your Tex Messaging" - Joe— August 24, 2009 9:46 a.m.

Party Time?
Pete - you didn't type "retard" You typed "the retarded kid down the block". It's different. Maybe because it brings up an image of a specific kid. Funbler - what do you have against the Huevo Shavo? Josh - do you really say "piss off"? - Joe— August 24, 2009 7:41 a.m.

"America's not "retarded," just greedy and corrupt." bingo.— August 22, 2009 11:47 p.m.
Party Time?
Wow Fumbler. 3 posts. It's like you chased him down on the playground and punched him, 'cause secretly you are sweet on him. Pete, you make a good point. The "retarded kid down the block" should be left out of the conversation. He is a really nice guy, once you get past your own f-ed up life and take some time to notice. - Joe— August 22, 2009 6:58 p.m.
