Tis the season

Ramadan has come to the middle east and traditionally this is a time when US casualties go up. I have prepared for the festive Ramadan season by setting up my Ramadan tree and putting little Ramadan lights all over my tent and stringing garland made of bullets across my chest. Ah yes you gotta love the holidays. Ok so now I realize why Islamic nations are so angry and bitter this time of year and I gotta tell you folks I would be too. Ramadan is a month long fast and nobody is allowed to eat, drink, or smoke until the sun goes down. Islam just isn't the religion for me because those are three of my favorite things to do besides sh%t and sleep. Hey we all have our wacky religous beliefs though right? I'm catholic and some people think confessing is a little over the top, I call it free professional venting. Jewish people don't eat pork and wear yamika's but, funny little hats are fashionable in the polka world. Atheists don't believe in religion and I'm sure they all burn in hell, ok maybe not. Scientology has Tom Cruise and I mean let's face it the guy was in the movie Top Gun so you know they must know something, and Maverick was a badass that got the girl in the end. Are we really all so very different? I don't think so, in the end Muslims, Christians, Jews, Atheists, and even Scientologist are all about the same thing. Taking care of your family and being a good person, we just go about doing it in different ways but it all adds up to the same pile of mashed potatoes in the end. One of these days we'll understand each others differences and live in peace until then, Drink up baby! the sun's down and it's Ramadan!
