So many other things Bush's war funds could buy other than death and destruction.



PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - "Glassy-eyed and so thin his bones protrude through his skin, a newborn infant named only Rony stares up at a dirty ceiling hour after hour, frozen in his crib because of a softball-sized tumor on the back of his neck.

Then an hourglass-shaped, platinum-haired woman flashing a megawatt smile and wearing diamond earrings and designer blue jeans leans over his crib in the steamy hospital ward, locks her long arms around the child and gently pulls him toward her.

She took her clothes off and let nude pictures of herself be taken for a Patriarchal Rape Manual Magazine for the implied, unauthorized sexual gratification of male oppressor types, and as such she is obviously mentally ill or addled or on drugs or otherwise incapable of "consenting" to the phallocratic exploitation she undoubtedly was coerced or forced into.

Oh, and :sarcasm:

BTW good for her. :thumbsup:
