"Jobs gone and schools closed. Marriages delayed and children mourned. Markets bombed and clean water in short supply. Speaking freely now a dangerous act.

Meanwhile we're spending "about $14.7 million per hour or $245,370 per minute" on this debacle. Think about that for a minute while you're checking to see what new mp3's have been posted here.... (h/t: Roger)
