Really, you just can't make this up!!!

Assault vehicles:




The caption:

Rolling Thunder
Paramilitary policemen on "assault vehicles" take part in an anti-terrorism drill in Jinan, China. There will be nearly 100,000 commandos, police and members of the military on standby up to and during the Beijing Olympics.

I am having a hard time deciding whether I am laughing or just dumbfounded. Segues? SEGUES???

assault vehicles... segues... paramilitary... terrorism... gawd.


That just makes my head hurt.

Stop the Spying!

About Me

A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.
