Loved All Over the World

A carnival float carries a large papier-mache figure of U.S. President George W. Bush and Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The annual six-day carnival, which peaks on Rose Monday when millions of people watch processions in major cities, is famous for its tradition of crude political satire and beer-guzzling crowds. The words on the float reads, 'Armpit of Evil'.

MAYBE THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT?

An Army honor guard carries the casket of Sgt. John T. Bubeck, of Collegeville, Pa., during funeral services at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va. in this Jan. 9, 2007 file photo. Bubeck, 25, died of wounds suffered when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle during combat operations Dec. 25 in Baghdad, Iraq.
Americans are keenly aware of how many U.S. forces have lost their lives in Iraq, according to a new AP-Ipsos poll. But at the same time, they woefully underestimate the number of Iraqi civilians who have been killed.

I think someone had too much caffeine...four posts in one day/evening?

Yes, msliberty, We are the laughing stock of the world. The fact that this is a German parade is particularly ironic.

OK, I'm stealing that first pix to add to my ever-growing Dubya.The.Vile.Prick collection.
It's a good thing I'm not planning a vacation overseas anytime soon. If I were, I'd be trying to figure out a way to pretend I'm Canadian.
Dubya shames us.
