Crocheting an Afghan here boss

The 72 Hour Afghan Expert
Everything you've ever wanted to know about Afghans, by P.J. O'Rourke
As all good reporters do, I prepared for my assignment with extensive research. I went to an Afghan restaurant in Prague. Getting a foretaste—as it were—of my subject, I asked the restaurant’s owner (an actual Afghan), “So what’s up with Afghanistan?”

As always, P.J. O'Rourke gets to the heart of things with a razor.  However, I have a good deal of trouble reading anything about Afghanistan, now that Obama has set our guys up in a shooting gallery by virtue of announcing a withdrawal date. 

48 HOURS: 21 American soldiers
killed in Afghanistan...


To be honest, I got sidetracked ¾ of the way through by a desire to photo-chop the Weekly Standard cover.  That indulgence is all that stands between me and insanity I think.  God damn Obama to Hell..

Your PhotoChop is magnitudes better - and left me wiping good bourbon off my shirt-front from laughter explosion. I had to check twice to be sure it was not like that on the original.

You're on fire tonight Rog. Quality Linkage.

BTW, The first time I read P.J. as a young Marine Corporal was the epiphany moment that I was something called a conservative.
