Joke of the Day:
Two Middle-eastern mothers are sitting in a cafe chatting over a plate of tabouli.
The older of the two pulls a bag out of her purse and starts flipping through photos.
''This is my oldest son, Mujibar. He would have been 24 years old now.''
''Yes, I remember him as a baby,'' says the other mother cheerfully.
"He's a martyr now though" the mother confides.
"Oh, so sad, dear'' says the other.
''And this is my second son, Khalid. He would have been 21.''
''He's a martyr too," says the mother quietly.
The second Muslim mother looks wistfully at the photographs and,
searching for the right words, says . . .
"They blow up so fast, don't they?"

“I have not been a strong supporter of Barack Obama, but this [the 2014 massive defense cuts] really is over the top. :It does enormous long-term damage to our military. They act as though it is like highway spending and you can turn it on and off. The fact of the matter is he is having a huge impact on the ability of future presidents to deal with future crises that are bound to arise.
[I] think the whole thing is not driven by any change in world circumstances. It is driven by budget considerations. He would much rather spend the money on food stamps than he would on a strong military or support for our troops." --Dick Cheney
