Round and Round
There are some weird stories out there today.
General:
General:
- A small boy about six-years-old claims that the Taliban tried to recruit him. And everyone (except the Taliban spokescritter) believes him.
- German schools are teaching school kids gay pick-up-lines. Lovely.
- Prince Charles is going carbon neutral. (Wonder if that flight on BA counts?)
- The celebuscank is out of jail (again.) Will she please just GO AWAY???
- Parental stupidity could have cost a toddler her life at Disney.
- Nah... the surge isn't working... not at all...
- More problems with Chinese imports.
- Chavez is warning of war with America. Well... if that's what he wants, shouldn't we oblige him?
- Texas Baptists are embracing immigrants (no matter their legal status). You know... I don't have a problem with them creating ministries to help legal immigrants. Illegal? Not so much.
- The University of Nevada is trying to allow faculty and staff to carry guns. Good plan.
- A Hindu prayer will open a Senate session in July. While I don't think that's quite what The Founders had in mind, if you're going to let everyone do it, then you need to let everyone do it.
- Liberal radio claims it's being held to a different standard. (ratings is a "different standard"???)
- President Bush slipped and said the truth- he called the immigration bill "Amnesty."
- RINO Lugar thinks we need a change in Iraq. I think we need a change in the Senate, but no one listens to me.
- Alberto Gonzales gets the Sitting Duck Award. Go figure.
- Here's one problem with translating ballots into foreign language- "Mitt Romney" becomes "Sticky Rice."
- Now the NY Times says Vice President Cheney is "bordering on lunacy." Crazy like a fox, maybe.
- Dems are gunning for Fred! Makes sense to me.
- Pro wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife, and son were found dead in their home yesterday. The police are treating it as a murder/suicide.
- ESPN has a list of the 101 sports events you should experience before you die.
- Bonds changes his tune about giving stuff to the Hall of Fame. (I don't want him to get seriously injured or anything like that. I'm just hoping that he pulls a hammy or something before he breaks the record. Permanently pulls a hammy. Or something. But I'm not bitter.)
- When your golf ball goes into a pond in Florida, leave it. It's just safer that way.
- Canadian EMTs now have a heavy duty ambulance to transport obese patients. Another sign of the most preventable epidemic on earth.
- I can't help but think that this guy is going to end up as kibble at some point.
- Normally, disputes concerning Yahtzee games don't end in bloodshed.
- I'm not a big fan of his politics, but Belzer's books might be good.
- In what can only be called delicious irony, an Israeli actor has been tapped to play Saddam Hussein in an upcoming movie.
- A professional eater's career may be cut short due to arthritis of the jaw. Poor guy.
