Default Massive snowfalls expected in Europe, Russia and the US

Afghanistan poppy harvest is at a record high, even leaving the previous record year 2007 behind.

So more Western casualties from the war to follow.

"But the report said there were some encouraging signs, with police tripling their effectiveness to capture well over 10% of production and a growth in services set up to tackle addiction." - I love it when they first give you the bad news, and then try to make you laughing.

I was expecting entertainment of reading how media has overblown whole snowstorm totally out of proportions. I'm disappointed!!!

Snow is not a common slang for Heroin in the U.S.
That would be Cocaine.
Most of that gets turned into Crack anyway.

And we wondered why we were in Ashcanistan.
The Brotherhood of Chaos doesn't like it when somebody messes with their trade. The Taliban squelched the production of Opium and America paid to restore it. And our government has wasted a boat load of dollars allegedly trying to curtail it again. All a front or bald faced lie, if you will.

Horse and smack are the most common slang terms here. Good to hear that our efforts in the Ghan where well worth it.
