Round-Up
Here's my headlines. Nope... not gonna organize them today...
- I orginally saw this story a week or more ago. Some pro-lifers are upset with Dr. James Dobson because he thought the Supreme Court ban on partial-birth abortion was a good thing. Evidently, one small victory at a time isn't enough for them.
- How does Gen. Peter Pace celebrate his 40th anniversary of military service? By going into the lion's den, explaining to military spouses why he's extending their loved ones' deployment. Brave man.
- A
manpersonthing has been arrested in Kelsey Smith's abduction and murder. I hope they put him in general population... or that he tries to escape. - Smelly LA just got a little stinkier. At least they were told to take shorter showers, not no showers.
- Senator Cheney? Cool...
- Smart prosecutor. I think. (How does one harass a police dog, anyway?)
- EW. Newly discovered cousin to trench fever. Remind me not to visit Peru anytime soon.
- um... will these workers get... uh... "glowing" performance reviews? (sorry... it was right there... I had to...)
- Vlad wants missiles in Azerbaijan instead of Poland. On the surface, it kinda makes sense. But do we really want to put the missiles right next door to Mad Mamoud? And would a Muslim-majority country actually let us put them there? Didn't think so...
- Speaking of my favorite Islamic nut-case... Iran was caught "red-handed" supplying weapons to the Taliban. Can we bomb them into the Stone Age now?
- The Ducks won the Stanley Cup. Can we all admit that they're aliens now? (My favorite quote- "Pain is an illusion. An illusion that really, really hurts."
- Bob Barker has retired. Finally.
- Dodd and Richardson will debate in Spanish. Which country are they trying to woo, anyway?
- A naked Tony Blair is something that the world should just not be subjected to, ya know?
- A teddy bear robot? In the Army? uh... ok...
- Are stowaway penguins considered illegal immigrants? If so, we need a fence along our far north border!
- 75 hours of pain.
