All this talk of Brazilians reminds me of a joke from the early days of the occupation of Iraq. Stop me if you've heard it.


One morning in the White House a meeting began with the the Secretary of State announcing 'Mr. President, three Brazilian soldiers where killed in Iraq today.'

Mr. Bush turned ashen and dropped his face into his hands. After a moment he looked up again and said 'This is simply awful! How could this happen?' He paused for a moment and then said:

Here's another one for the 'They're not so different from us, after all' file. Well, not so different from how we like to see ourselves.

Oh, Jerusalem . . .

'These people were never about anything except turning money into money, in order to get more money; valueswise they're on par with crack addicts, or obsessive sexual deviants who burgle homes to steal panties. Yet these are the people in whose hands our entire political future now rests.

Good luck with that, America. And enjoy tax season.'

Fascinating read Anhaga

no one's coming near my 'down there' with hot wax, thank you very much.
