Burma needs help too, but alas, they have no oil...

Our energy use causes wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, and Israel.
For years, Afghans refused to let us build an oil pipeline through
their country, until we invaded it and replaced the government.
The pipeline just started working. People said George the First
would not have invaded Iraq if they'd only grown broccoli there :-)

Well, come on down, if you are near the Pottstown PA UUF. You can wrap
yourself in a US flag and hold a wooden cross aloft while the choir sings.

The cross is cool, with Jesus and INRI and all that. It slides open to reveal
a Last Rites kit with 2 candles (exactly 51% beeswax, per church specs--woe
betide you if someone substitutes 49% candles :-) and a vial of Holy Oil
and a written set of directions, when to genuflect and so on. Only $5 at
a religious thrift shop.
