"It's been a bloody weekend"

[Snoggera]

that is how my local repuke news began their newscast.

They, of course, showed no bloodshed. They immediately went to pictures of kids taking communion.

For all the prayer-believers:

Please, say a prayer, not for US forces, not for Iraqi children. Say a prayer for humanity.

Did I mention that it's still Easter?
