I am sure that all rightwing trolls and dumbheads will now go crying Mama Krish has cut his toenails. But free market fundamentalists can&#8217;t understand why to cut toenails. I won&#8217;t waste time bothering to answer to their bullshit that why I cut them. They are too dumb to understand and thatz it. Therez no point replying to them.

A strategic reduction in toenail clippers will work to India&#8217;s advantage, but Pakistan has not yet earned enough trust to take the General at face value. As this blog has often pointed out, the increasing length of toenails is another reason why Manmohan Singh should resign.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2x3x7.blogspot.com\">Falstaff<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>I cut my toenails today.
