Crayons In The Box

My day got off to a crappy start. First thing this morning I get a call from one of my liberal friends. She's so elated that Gitmo will be closed within a year. "After all, she said, " it was like a concentration camp." Well, needless to say, don't start with me before I have a good cup of coffee. "A concentration camp?!!", I said. "Are you nuts? They have their prayer blankets facing mecca, their turbans, and since they don't eat pork, they have alternative food selections....and you DARE compare that to a concentration camp? They don't look starved to me! They don't look tortured either. Where do you even dare make that kind of comparison?"

So I asked her to lay off the drama for a minute and just think about where these wonderful people were going to go? Their own countries don't want them back! What country in their right mind would take them? I suggested she invite Sheik Khalid (the so called mastermind of 9/11) to stay with her. You know, sometimes I just can't figure out a person's reasoning. They don't think beyond their nose. Goes to show ... all the crayons in the box aren't bright.

Gotta go now. I need that cup of coffee and hopefully my day will get better.
