Bali: Bomb Scarred Island

by Sean on October 22, 2003    |    1 Comment

Just Read Nick’s latest post about Bush visiting Bali

Arriving at Internet Outpost in Kuta I checked Yahoo for news and they went on about the President’s visit to ‘the front line of the war on terror’ and ‘the bomb scarred island of Bali’. Jeez, sure doesn’t feel like the place I live in.

Bomb scarred island…that is fucking ridiculous to even say that. Bomb scarred sounds like Germany in 1945….not Bali in 2003.

Can you say “fear”? Panic merchants are in full swing folks. The market is open…buy your fear here!
