News... News... and Piglets
Made you look, didn't I?
General:
General:
- Voicing an opinion is a hate crime in the UK. And it's headed our way if we don't start paying attention.
- Speaking of the UK, here's yet another thing to look forward to with HillaryCare.
- Silly String is finally on its way to war.
- So... requiring parental notification prior to an abortion cuts down on teen risky behavior which cuts down on teen STDs. Who knew? I have a strange feeling that this will not have similar results.
- Vincente "Crazy Like A" Fox doesn't understand the (subtle, I know, but still) difference between "law abiding" and "xenophobic." Must be language thing.
- Are we sure she wanted this publicized? Just sayin...
- Things are going to get ugly between Turkey and the Kurds, isn't it?
- Vlad is getting more and more dangerous... the right people are worried... right?
- Randi's on-air pal says she was mugged. Her lawyer says she wasn't. Lefty bloggers say it's all the neo-con's fault.
- Well, it's probably easier than building a raft.
- OJ's friends are rolling over faster than puppy kindergarten graduates.
- I'm usually not one to applaud anything to do with public schools, and Chicago is probably one of my least favorite places on the planet (politically and socially). All of that said, this is pretty cool. They have 4 already, and they're planning another one. Marines. Running a high school. I'll bet they don't have many discipline problems.
- Is it wrong for me to be disappointed that he didn't resist arrest?
- Greg Brady was made an honorary member of the 335th Fighter Squadron. (Very cool, but... just curious... what exactly does he do on a USO tour? Act like Greg?)
- Soldiers bring home "souvenirs" from war, but I have a feeling this one may end up being worth a lot of money.
- I guess if you need an excuse for pulling your kids out of public school (besides safety and wanting consistent positive moral influences and a better education and... and...), I guess this is as good as any.
- If Disney was going to edit out 3 little words to make way for the name of the production company in a radio ad, they could have probably chosen any other three words and not caused a stink... especially considering the movie in question's topic.
- What did she say that needs an apology?
- People got upset because Mrs. Fields dropped their "Christmas" items from their web site. When asked, the silly PR person (who should be fired... or shot) said that they dropped the items "to avoid offending anyone." How's that working for you? (Honestly, I'm more offended by all of the Halloween cookies on their site 2 weeks before the 31st than I am about the (former) lack of Christmas stuff 2 months out. And where are the Hanukkah cookies, anyway?)
- Maybe goblins should just avoid a life of crime (or at least this guy).
- Elisabeth is due a vacation, isn't she?
- The chick card has been played.
- Brownback wants the US government to apologize for slavery. Reparations? Not so much. Oh, yeah... that will endear you to the base, Sam.
- You have no idea how much I wish a GOP candidate would do this, but our very own Southern Baptist minister/candidate doesn't seem inclined to cross that line.
- Rudy finally decided the $9.11 checks were a bit... over the top.
- And we can all feel safe that Rudy will protect us from alien invasion.
- Larry "I'm not gay" Craig is surprised that he was thrown under the bus. Larry, you gassed up the bus and put it in drive.
- They already did a study concerning the genetic component of homosexuality.They don't need to do another, do they? (If you look here, check out the 1991 study- if homosexuality was genetic, wouldn't both of the monozygotic twins have been gay every time instead of just 52% of the time? Doesn't that pretty much prove the environmental causes?)
- As long as people know they're part of a study, I think this is a pretty cool idea.
- Blood helps you think... well, that makes sense, doesn't it?
- This one's actually about sports fans. These girls look goofy, but they're appropriately covered. If they let the guys do it, what's the deal?
- uh... Rog... buddy... NFL Europa didn't do so well... why do you think having the Super Bowl in London would do any better???
- Don't do it, Trent.
- This could get interesting. I'm not sure I want to know. Can I bury my head in the sand? I didn't think so.
- l'chaim (Do they have kosher food at Lambeau?)
- The Terracotta Soldiers are being accused of crimes against the environment... or something like that.
- A woman was given a ticket for swearing... in her own home. I think that, instead of calling the cops, maybe her neighbor should have offered to help. Just a thought...
- Mom would love one of these for Christmas. I would, too.
