Lunch Time Links
What's in the news today?
General:
General:
- OBL has a new tape... calling for unity in Iraq (and, according to FoxNews,- sorry, no link- he apologized for mistakes AlQ has made in Iraq).
- Why don't I feel any better knowing that the Fed has our backs?
- No, the Iranians would never provide arms to the insurgents in Iraq... why do you ask?
- The parents of one of the SEALs from the Lone Survivor story were given their son's Medal of Honor in a ceremony today at the White House.
- I really don't know what to think of David Copperfield's current legal woes. On the one hand, he's always given me the creeps. On the other hand, plenty of celebrities have been accused of doing things they didn't do. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
- I really hope that this guy doesn't go to jail for throwing a snowball. That's just goofy.
- Fly SUX! (This story is silly, but... if you look through the article, you'll see the perfect FAA identifier for San Francisco... wonder why they haven't gone GAY...)
- In an attack of sanity, Bobby Jindal was elected governor of Louisiana.
- Dennis the Menace thinks that W is trying to start WWIII. Here's a hint, Dennis... if he wanted to start a world war, he would have just bombed Moscow. Easier that way.
- Wow. The unions are doing something intelligent for a change. Be afraid. (It only makes sense to wait and see who the Democrat's candidate is going to be and then throw all their money at that one person instead of wasting it on the candidates who won't make it through the primaries.)
- When all else fails for GOP hopefuls... trash talk Hillary. Eh... don't worry about the "all else fails" part... it's good, clean fun.
- The Huck gets an interesting endorsement.
- Is it wrong of me to ignore the crude nature of the campaign ad and instead to wonder why the ad was in Spanish? I mean, Hialeah is in the United States, right?
- Hillary isn't an animal lover? Who knew? Evidently, the vet.
- Tony's staying for 2 more years in St. Louis. Now we can all breathe a sigh of relief that he's not going to the Yankees.
- Our tax dollars are being spent on studies of deviant behavior. Lovely.
- Instead of fuel cells, why not just put electric outlets in the cabin? Just a thought...
- um... all things being equal, I think I'd rather take the Shuttle down, thanks.
- Do you remember the controversial dig at the Temple Mount last summer? Well... the Muslims found something... something they didn't really want to find.
- uh... oops?
- Might be fun if you have the time and money.
- I'm throwing the flag on this one. If Dumbledore really was gay, why not actually, you know, put it in the books? But I guess it will give her more press, and she's all about the limelight, donchaknow.
- Attack of the killer monkeys!
