In purely Darwinian terms, Lynddie England is now morer successful than the Minister of Propaganda.

From today’s Washington Post Reliable Source:

Army Pfc. Lynndie England, 21, known as “Leash Gal” in the tabloids for her photographed behavior at Abu Ghraib, had her baby Sunday, an Army spokesman said yesterday. The family declined to release info about the birth, but the Baltimore Sun cited a source claiming it’s a boy. The father is England’s ex-boyfriend, Spec. Charles Graner Jr., who’s also charged with abusing Iraqi prisoners.

The idea of Lynddie “I didn’t do anything wrong at Abu Ghraib” England and Charles “As a Christian, I know it’s worng, but as a corrections officer I love to make a grown man piss himelf” Graner passing on their genes terrifies me.

I wish I could take comfort in the Maximum Leader’s Letspretendtopia World and comfortingly soothe myself with the idea that nothing in genetics is proven.

Update from the Maximum Leader: Your Maximum Leader would like to observe that the Smallholder appears to be devolving himself. He seems to have forgotten (or never learned - or maybe he’s hoping some scientist can help him) how to make a damned hyperlink. Your Maximum Leader just had to go through all his previous posts and put in the links (for the benefit of our loyal readers).

You know what else is nice to see… The Smallholder rushing to assume that the England/Graner offspring will be just as objectionable has his mother and father.

Update II: From Smallholder
Sorry to all for the hyperlinks. My computer won’t display any of the hot buttons for post creation. Even links previously created on the blog show up as html lists. Very odd. I was hoping to go back and fix the links when I could get on another computer, but the Good Maximum Leader has done my dirty work for me. Danke.

And heck, Mike the England post was a bit tongue in cheek. I really think we need some photoshopped baby announcements for this great American pair.

UPDATE FROM THE MAXIMUM LEADER: Oops. Must have gotten a little too snarky… Your Maximum Leader will see what he might be able to do on a birth announcement.
