French doctor: Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another and have him looking for work in six weeks.

German doctor: That's nothing; we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another and have them looking for work in four weeks.

Russian doctor: In my country medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks.

Texas doctor: You guys are way behind; we recently took a man with no brain out of Texas, put him in the White House for eight years, and now half the country is looking for work.

Eritrea rejects UN demand for border pull-back
Eritrea has rejected a U.N. Security Council demand that it withdraw military forces from its border with Djibouti within five weeks.
Editor’s comment: The psychotic leaders of Eritrea right out rejected the UN demand to pull-back from the border with Djibouti. The Eritreans know the spineless organization which is used as an American tooth peak wouldn't do any thing. It could be the usual empty brovado from the UN, but what if they mean business? Then the PFDJ leaders who are victims of believing their own propaganda are digging their own graves.
