Well The First Thing You Know Ole Achmed is a Millionaire

Interesting story in yesterday's Times on Defense Dept geologists finding a Trillion dollars of untapped minerals in Afghanistan including gold, copper and lithium.

Could really change the country.

That's so fucking wrong. Funny. But wrong.

 

Sez he with the funny Cobain sig.

There is always more to these stories.

So they loaded up the wagon and moved to Karachi.
