Something Terrible

Specialist Michelle Ring, 26, formerly of Chugiak AK, was killed by indirect fire on July 5 while taking a break from a patrol in Baghdad. She leaves behind two sons, Marc and Brandon, ages 7 and 5, respectively.

This is the kind of shit that makes me, a misanthropic, hate-mongering bastard, weep. Just remember that a son of a bitch who ran on a "Compassionate Conservative" agenda in 2000 and whose favorite political philosopher is Jesus is the cause of this woman's death and these two kids' lifelong misery.

Well, I'm sure she knew what she was getting into, what with joining the Army in a time of war and all that. It was her choice after all and I'm sure she had other options. Yeah, she sure did. Do you want to know why she did? To get a better life for her kids because miraculously the job at the chicken evisceration factory for a GED holder just wasn't bringing home the jack. Shit like this is too tragic to make up. Read all about it here.

Sometimes, I wonder what the historical Jesus would do if he were miraculously transported to the future to see how things turned out. My personal guess is a toss-up between committing suicide immediately or becoming severely dependent on something illicit.
