My Gift to you...
Permalink  

Iran just took 15 British sailors hostage. Then gave them back as "a gift".  Have you ever known friends or children to do this to you? It's a bit like the guy who cuts off his neighbor's hand, and then as a gift, drives him to the hospital. Or like when your kids get you breakfast in bed... which always leads up to much more mess than you wanted to take care of in the morning... plus a load of laundry to clean up the sticky syrup now in your bedsheets...

Thanks Iran... you really know how to give a gift... perhaps we should give them gifts in kind... I hope Iran's next gift isn't radioactive...

Yet Gift giving can be so difficult, really I mean what gift do you give a superpower that has everything--or for that matter your in-laws? HOw do children give gifts to their parents when their parents pretty much provide all that they have already? What do you think is a proper political gift? I know people that are horrible at giving gifts... could this be just one of those situations? And what gifts do we give God? These are all interesting points about a topic that just keeps on giving... :)

The Jelly of the Month club. Acording to cousin Eddie, it's the gift that keeps on giving all year long!

As for Iran, they haven't returned anyone yet. I'm not getting excited until I see the hostages back in Britania!

Maybe Ahkminawhackjob will keep the british sailors as a way to keep them safe from evil British imperialism. He's really doing them a favor. Heck, if he killed them, he'd be doing them a favor because their lives as infidels only add to their torment burning in his vision of hell...

I've heard that since the sailors got back they recanted their claims that they were treated well. Like that's a big surprise.

Of course the modern liberal won't believe the recants, only the originals. Why? Because the west is Evil and Iran good in their minds.

The U.S./West bashing does get tiring.
