I put this into babelfish.altavista.com

“I am, you know, amazed that this is a society which so wants to be free that they’re willing to — you know, that there’s a level of violence that they tolerate.”

and then asked it to translate from Peaforbrains to English. And it answered

“It is an incomprehensible contradiction that the land of the free and the home of the brave has twice elected a draft-dodging war-mongering dictator-wannabe as its president”

But I didn’t elect him! I swear I never voted for Bush!!! ;)

(love the translation)

HOW THE FUCK CAN AN AIRCRAFT BE FLOWN INTO A BUILDING IN NYC AGAIN??!!

Small craft on VFR, flying in too close on a foggy, rainy, windy day. Just like the plane that hit the Empire State Building in 1945.

Either one or two fatalities reported.
