A brief Stroll Around the News


Well... maybe it will be brief. Found a lot while looking through the news (if you want to see where I get most of my news, click on the links to the right- they get all the credit!) Once again, we'll start "serious," then end "not-so-serious." And aaawaaaaaaay we go!

Israel has no problem admitting to targeting (and killing) a Hamas operative. You know... I like that about them.

A plane enroute to the US from Greece made an emergency landing at London's Stansted Airport after a bomb threat was called in. No report as of yet whether or not anything suspicious was found on-board.

A former inmate of Gitmo is presumed dead after a firefight in Afghanistan. Nope, there was no reason to keep a Taliban commander at Gitmo. No reason at all.

NewsMax finally figured out that terrorists use the internet to communicate. Welcome to the 21st century! These guys have been translating Islamic extremist sites for quite a while now!

There was a pro-democracy rally at Tehran University. I'm sure these guys will probably have the 411 for anyone interested in more details.

Texans for Truth might be in trouble for campaign finance violations. I'm about fed up with the whole 527 debacle, anyway. The whole finance reform law was a fiasco, and it should have been struck down as unconstitutional. But, oh, well... more fun for lawyers.

Speaking of lawyers... it's doctors v. lawyers at the ballot box. I think that we have the right to sue, and we should, if there's legitimate malpractice. But these lawyers have gone totally insane, and they need to be reined in. Now.

An officer in the Iraqi National Guard has been arrested for spying for the insurgents. If he's found guilty, give him to the mothers of the men killed by the insurgents who used the information given to them by this piece of trash. They'll know what to do with him.

In other Iraqi news... an Iraqi official said that Saddam will be executed because that's what the people want. One question: will it be on pay-per-view?

In even other Iraqi news, there's a new commando unit hunting al-Zarqawi. It's about frickin' time!

And, oh, yeah... we probably know where all the WMDs are. Can we liberate them next? Please?

Hmmm.... Teresa Heinz Kerry has an "emasculating" effect on Senator Kerry. Ya think?

John "Two Americas" Edwards thinks that the Republican party intends to divide America. That's rich. I'm not sure which bothers me more: that he said that, or that he said it from the pulpit of a church. I'd like to see Cheney do that and not get one ounce of bad press for it. Don't worry- I'm not holding my breath. That shade of blue just isn't my color.

President Bush and Senator Kerry are prepping for the presidential debates. Makes me glad I was never on the debate team- yelling at your opponent isn't an option. Oh, well, I'll take Bush's "folksy manner" to Kerry's "nuanced world view." any day. And we can really get rid of the word "nuance" for a while. It's this election's "gravitas" and it can go away now.

In other election news, 6 out of 8 Klingons living in the Portland, Oregon, area prefer Kerry. The other 2 are writing in their candidate of choice- Satan.

This teacher needs help. Or something. This was uncalled for. Why would you humiliate a first grader like that?

MIT has found a creative use for spinach. Well, since my kids don't eat it, might as well use it for something!

A group of brainiacs have gathered to discuss Michael Jackson. Yes, I read the article. No, I still can't understand why anyone would WANT to talk about him.

Native Americans don't think the 'Skins' name is offensive. I may not like the 'Skins, but I'm happy that they don't have to change their name. In the article it mentions that many schools have changed their team names. What they don't mention is that they did so because they're wimpy and afraid of the almighty lawsuit.

Authorities in Israel seized a bunch of dogfood that was labeled as paté. Question is: how could they tell the difference?

Let's take a look at traffic.... yikes! Major collision! That's gonna cause a traffic jam! (sorry- couldn't help it)

In closing, Al Qaeda plans on disrupting the Afghan Elections as well as the US elections, men and women are different, the sky is blue, grass is green, and my favorite NFL coach is being demolished by his old team. But, that's ok. My favorite QB got his 4000th completion and his 50th game with at least 3 TD passes and his 28th game in a row with at least one TD pass.
