News... Not News... News... Not News...
As I was reading through the "news" this morning, I was ... whatever the opposite of surprised is... to see just how much of the news really wasn't. You'll see.
Not news:
Not news:
- Mr. Breakfast Beverage has been arrested. No, I'm not linking to it. This is probably the only thing I'll write about him. He's vile.
- Sheeple flock to the scene of the crime.
- SecDef Gates says that we'll be in Iraq for a "protracted period." You don't say.
- He's also urging Senate Republicans to vote against (or a Presidential veto, if it comes to that) a troop-rest bill. Well, duh. We're at war.
- Greenspan is a liberal.
- Lincoln Chafee has left the GOP (officially). He left them ideologically years ago.
- Hillary has a health care plan. Again.
- Vincente "Crazy Like A" Fox is a tad... harsh when it comes to someone he's called "amigo".
- Iran has missiles aimed at Israel. And we're planning something. And the Iranians aren't happy about it.
- Another stupid Chinese guy dies after spending 3 days online.
- Democrats try to get into activists' good graces.
- Terrorists love Cindy. They're also not big on sticking to agreements. (But, that's ok... the Koran says so... look up Mo and his Treaty of Hudibiyya.)
- Tony Snow thinks reporters are liberal.
- The French Foreign Minister obviously has a birth defect- even though he is French, he appears to have a backbone and testosterone. Sacre Bleu!
- PODS sold off the wrong storage box for non-payment... and the contents belonged to a soldier fighting in Iraq.
- Reason #349573958739834 that my kids are homeschooled.
- Never heard of him. Shumer likes him. That bothers me. It also bothers me that the President's decision had to come down to "who will the Senate not fight over?"
- Does Hillary really want the words "She not a cold fish" to be said about her... by Madam Maddy?
- Evidently "Baptist" tracks better with conservatives than "Episcopalian."
- The "top 4" GOP candidates won't be at tonight's debate. I'm not happy about Fred! missing it. The other 3... don't care much.
- Too bad that having common sense labels you a racist. I like this kid.
- I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around the fact that illegal immigrants work at our military bases.
- A fight broke out at a church that's harboring an illegal alien and her "anchor baby."
- Evidently, you can TASER a US citizen, but not an illegal alien. What's up with that???
- Beaners chickened out.
- I love Sheriff Joe.
- Which baby animal is the cutest?
- The Northwest Passage is open again. And it's all global warming's fault. But... if that's the case... how did it open before?
- They've built an artificial boy. Will Zeno make his bed and clean his room?
- The incidents of left-handedness is on the rise, possibly because they're not being pressured to change hands (like I was- I started out ambidextrous.)
- Former Jersey A captain George Martin has started a cross-country walk to raise money for Ground Zero workers who are now sick.
- Kevin Everett watched part of the Bills game yesterday. He's got a long road ahead of him.
- Doesn't this sound like the Piña Colada Song from the 70s?
- Having had custody of two Burmese pythons (one of whom considered my hamsters a lite snack), I can say, without a doubt, that this woman was nuts. Gutsy, but nuts.
- Imagine the story these kids will tell their kids- "When I was a child, we had to cross a raging river to get to school... on a cable... both ways..."
- hmm... can the victims sue the Discovery Channel? (Well, of course they can, but... is it a legit case?)
- Me thinks this guy has a little problem.
- The guy with the buzzer in the sound booth at the Emmy's probably has a hand cramp this morning.
- When studios won't preview a show for critics, that's bad... right? (As if anything about that show could be seen as good- do those kids even know what "¡Viva la revolución!" means? They've been yelling it enough in the previews.)
- Madonna, who's not Jewish, is "an ambassador for Judaism,"... even if it makes the rabbis mad.
- Chuckles is going to be a movie star.
- A 12 year old girl has been chosen to be the face of Australia's Fashion Week. It's caused a big stink (for lots of very good reasons).
