A Sibling's Christmas Thoughts
So, for whoever doesn't know, I'm currently in Iraq on a 9 month tour with Her Majesty's finest. We're sharing a camp with the Yanks, and a lovely bunch they are too, what with their high-tech equipment and celebrities visiting them every other fucking weekend and their general inability to learn the basic rules of football and insistance on playing their own little game against us, which frankly, is as reasonable as anal warts on my mother's cock. But I digress.

Stationed with us is ex-Vice Presidenial candidate's son, Track Palin. I don't know him personally, but his superior did make a speech (in Track's stead) in our shared mess hall last week (to the Merkins, mind, but we all listened in), which, I think, was quite a touching gesture of sibling love.

In essence, Track had gone home to be with his mother. Apparently the Palin family is distraught over losing the campaign, as they invested a lot of their personal money into it (though not in direct ways, more buying clothes, from what I figure), either way, he said would they all say a prayer, religious or not, for the Palin family, as they were going through an extremely difficult time. "It takes balls to stand up for what you believe in, and to be subjected to the questions of millions in your bid for candidancy, and then Vice Presidency, was a feat none of should sniff at - regardless of outsome." And that seemed quite nice, to me, quite lovely. He then led the prayer, which if no-one minds, I'll do here too. So, even just sending out good will, please think of Track, the eldest, who's finding it very stressful in Iraq - as are all of us, and of course her daughter, Bristol, who's pregnant, Willow and Piper, her other daughters who are quite depressed by the ordeal, poor kids, and her youngest child, Trig, who is a little down.




I'll be off to hell now, cheers.
Edit: A little down? He has Down's Syndrome? What kind of Christmas is this, when we don't laugh at the young and disabled?
