He has sex with a female bartender numerous times, always while wearing his Santa hat.
That's from here, of course [Spoilers!]. Ah, the Childcare Action Project. Not just there for the nasty things in life. No, they're there for some of the funniest, too.
Ah. Well, I got one or two trivially useful things done today, and yesterday too, which counts as astonishingly productive by the standards of this job. I was incensed by this story, of course. You can get into a lot of trouble now for saying that you understand why people are so angry they run off and commit multiple murders, but faced with this sort of thing I can't honestly see why more people don't.
Of course, the response will be met with a counter-response, and the blood of the innocent will be spilled both by the vicious and by the well-meaning-but-angry-or-misled. It's going to get worse before it gets better. If it gets better soon enough for me to see it, which it may not. A family friend married an Israeli bloke a few years ago. They're bringing the kids up in Canada. Wise choice.
Mmm. White phosphorus. Nice to know that people are being good to each other, isn't it? As they say, give a man a fire and he'll be warm for an evening, but set him on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. And it worked so well in stopping the attacks on US soldiers, didn't it? Clearly a masterful tactician has been at work.

It makes no more sense to call WP a chemical weapon than it would napalm (or for that matter to call a depleted uranium round a radiological weapon on account of the residual radioactivity of DU), and to do so devalues the use of the term to refer to weapons whose ability to kill or wound is based entirely on their chemical toxicity (chlorine, phosgene, lewisite, mustard gas, chloropicrin, not to mention the families of nerve agents).

That said, it makes little sense to single out the use of WP for criticism if it has been used in ways which endanger civilians, given some of the other ordnance which has been used in Iraq, not least cluster munitions. They're a damn sight less discriminatory and more persistent than incendiary artillery rounds!

We've been told that the case for war in Iraq was based on Saddam Hussein's development of weapons of mass destruction, more specifically chemical weapons. The reporting at the time, and the rhetoric from government, equated chemical weapons with nerve agents (and to a lesser extent blister and pulmonary agents), which is largely accurate and within the conventional meaning of the term. Referring to incendiary weapons as chemical weapons is deliberately misleading because it plays to the statement that chemical weapons are weapons of mass destruction.
As I've already said, I don't know why WP has been singled out for this current round of media attention when there have already been retractions of statements in Parliament by ministers concerning the use of napalm-like substances by US troops, and the use of cluster munitions and FASCAM continues to cause civilian casualties.

I have also opined in the past that it surprises me how few people end up hurting their children, given how much stress is involved in being a parent.
