Ik kan niet ademen. – Jerry Afriyie
When this posts I’ll be on the first leg of my trip to Ireland, so it seems appropriate to share one of my favorite Vangelis compositions, the haunting and beautiful “Irlande”. The links above it were provided by Tim Cushing (“pigs”, “sirree” and “dogs”), Kevin Wilson (“serve”), Marijke Vonk (“brutalized”), Radley Balko (“bald”), and Nun Ya (“guess”).

- To protect and serve.
- Not a police state, no sirree!
- Man fined for being brutalized by cops.
- Cops claim to have “mistaken” teen girl for bald man.
- What kind of man beats an unarmed woman with a club? Guess.
- If a cop comes near your house, expect your dogs to be murdered.
