Chocolate Cherry Cordial
You must not think me mad when I tell you what I found below the thin shell of chocolate used to disguise this bonbon's true face. Yes! Hidden beneath its rich exterior is a hideously moist cherry cordial! What deranged architect could have engineered this non-Euclidean aberration? I dare not speculate.

Caramel Chew
There is a dimension ruled by a blind caramel God-King who sits on a vast, cyclopean milk-chocolate throne while his mindless, gooey followers dance to the piping of crazed flutes. It is said that there are gateways in our world that lead to this caramel hell-planet. The delectable Caramel Chew may be one such portal.

On "Professor" Arday:

He was their living lawn jockey, period. They won't say that 'cause they're sensitive and down with his struggle and all. He was there to appease and flatter their sense of being uplifters of the oppressed. In truth, he served as their living lawn jockey -- no more, no less, and unworthy of even a second thought on their part. Tokenism, pure and simple.

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long.

The SwiftVets, of course, are just liars with nothing of any interest to say. I don't see how the media can tout Avoirdupois 451 and then cry foul when the SwiftVets -- who are all eyewitnesses to the events they describe -- present their meticulously-footnoted documentary effort. When Michael Moore suggests that Bush ordered the FBI to let the bin Ladin exit the country when no one else was flying -- despite the fact that planes were already flying, and Bush-critic/media-darling (redudancy alert) Dick Clarke actually ordered the plane to fly -- the media says that's a bit of "hyperbole" or maybe "loose language." When the SwiftVets tell the stories of their time in the mud and blood, that's just an outright fabrication, and we know it's a fabrication, because hey, John Forbes Kerry says so. posted by Ace at 08:23 PM Comments Where's the Akefa-whiner's bullshit comments on this one? I figured he'd dribble all over this post as soon as it went up. Posted by: Mr. Bowen on August 23, 2004 08:48 PM I just felt the urge to call Oliver Willis a fat, fucking, Soros-funded, humor-impaired, pathetic sack of Whopper-wolfing shit. Ah, I feel better. Posted by: O Willis can't get laid on August 23, 2004 08:51 PM Help the Google bomb brigade by linking to MM's website with the text "pathological liar" when you mention him. Posted by: Joe R. on August 23, 2004 09:47 PM I remember all the libs demanding that you go see the "documentary" before criticizing it. I wonder how many of them will read the book they denounce as "lies." I just finished it an hour ago. I can't recommend it enough. That Kerry's "wounds" were glorified mosquito bites is beyond dispute. How is it that Bob Dole, who lost control of his arm, and Bob Kerry, who lost a leg, were awarded the same purple heart as John Kerry, all of his wounds treated with band-aids. However, the real damning stuff is in the 2nd half, his anti-war years. There is still alot of ammunition to unload on this guy. Here's to hoping the Swift Vets keep firing. Posted by: Golden Boy on August 23, 2004 09:56 PM You guys suck. You keep attacking this beautiful, lovable, handsome, pure, righteous, intelligent, honest, decent, GODLIKE man. He's God ALMIGHTY! WORSHIP JOHN KERRY. WORSHIP KERRY WORSHIP KERRY WORSHIP KERRY!!!!!!!!!!!! Kery rulez, bush drules! You guys are stuped dumies. Why don't you stop lying about this brave hero and stop idalizing chimperor Dubya? He didnt serve in Vietnam but Kery did. You cant answer that simple fact, can you? Huh? I dont hear any answers!
