BBC NEWS | World | Americas | Pentagon drops chaplain charges

Hmm. What the hell went on here?

Utterly bizaare. Shows how wrong the US military can get it. Raises questions, does it not, about the veracity of their suspicions about the 600 Gitmo detainees?

It seems highly likely that had that chaplain been Catholic or something, he would not have been watched so closely and lept upon by MPs at the slightest thing. It really seems like just a basic distrust of Muslims. Maybe I'm reading too much into that but it's hard to understand how else this whole storm in a teacup could come about.

This is a little poem I wrote about clowns. My girlfriend is shitscared of them so I thought I'd play that up. If you read this really really slowly out loud it is especially creepy. But funny at the end.

White face, big smile, red hair, black heart,
Don’t look, don’t run, don’t stare, eyes dart,

Big flowers, big boots, big hat, no soul,
Crouch down, tremble, felt that, feel cold,

Random, bright clothes, magic, unknown,
Can’t move, lungs tight, feel sick, miss home,

Small car, honk horn, red nose, kill kids,
Shout out, no sound, he knows, you’re his.

Routines, play fights, white foam, Death’s friend
See chance, kick nuts, run home, the end?
