Reasons to be cheerful #4678434

Acieeeeed!OMFG!ook!Exceedingly Excremental, Staggeringly Stoolish, Positively Pooey etc etcIt's Friday! w()()+! But first, let's take a moment to think about these poor buggers in the Congo, who are getting eaten by nasty flesh eating parasites. The highly contagious, flesh-eating disease, Treponema pertenue, is caused by a spiral-shaped bacterium which is easily treated with a shot of penicillin. The disease is primarily caused by poverty and lack of basic hygiene facilities. Access to soap and water is enough to prevent it.

How do you feel about that Mr. Boooosh...? Spending $25 billion on a war, so that your redneck friends can drive their bariatric kids to school in an SUV?

And don't think that you can get away with it this morning either Mr. Tony B. Liar. Did you know that the UK spends something like 0.3% of GDP on foreign aid? I'll try and find the official figure on this later - Bob Geldolf will know the answer to that. I'll give him a bell.



btw... John Kerry says he owns a Dodge 600 and doesn't own an SUV. The SUV parked on his drive..? Oh, that is "owned by his "family". We're all doomed. ;)
