You might think you're the stuff of legend, until you cower at the sight of a piddly little effigy.
Kashmiri Shiite Muslim activists shout anti-US slogans as they beat a burning effigy of US President George W. Bush during a protest rally in Srinagar, 14 June 2007. Hundreds of Shiites Muslims in Indian administered Kashmir blocked roads as they protested an attack on a revered Shiite shrine in Iraq. Deafening blasts razed Al-Askari mosque's two gold-covered minarets 13 June, in the largely Sunni town of Samarra north of Baghdad raising fears of a resurgence in intercommunal violence. US President George W. Bush blamed Al-Qaeda for the attack, saying it was meant to inflame sectarian violence in Iraq. (Zuma Press/Altaf Zargar) [Photo via Newscom]
Back to Rage School with you, silly newbie. You have much left to learn yet.Update: Hmm, what's that you say? It's not 2007 any more?
Yeah, about that. Guess I got carried away looking through the Newscom archives.
Still, rage funnies like this are timeless. Either that, or I'm ready for the three-day weekend already.

Effigies, flags, and kerosene - If you had a store that only sold those 3 things, I tell ya, it's a GOLDMINE in an islamic country! If I were muslime, that's the business I'd be in.
I'd even name it that, "EFFIGIES, FLAGS & KEROSENE!"
We sell Israeli & US flags in bulk!
Danish flags - HALF PRICE!
George Bush & Geert Wilders effigies - Buy one get one free!
Free gallon of kerosene with every effigy!
Price list:
Hand drawn flags - 3 dinars each
(US flags 5 dinars, cause there's so many more stars and strips)
Real flags - 25,000 dinars each
Effigies that could possibly pass for some infidel politician - 100,000 dinars each
Effigies that actually bear a resemblance to an infidel politician - 10 goats, 2 camels, and marriage to your youngest daughter.
(Don't mind me, I just started on the coffee...)

Last June?
A month ago?
Or, are they talking about the mosque bombing that occurred about 4 years ago?
If they have a problem with how things are operating in Iraq... then they should go there and help their brothers out.
