The Headlines
I'd love to say that these were the headlines that didn't make me roll my eyes, but I'd be lying. There was plenty of eye-rolling during this morning's romp through the news sites.
General:
General:
- As if San Francisco isn't nanny-state enough, they want to outlaw late-night pizza.
- They spent a quarter of a million dollars, and the best they could come up with was "Welcome to Scotland"????
- The Teddy Bear teacher got 15 days in jail. Well... it could have been a lot worse, I guess.
- This can't be good for the Doves. Good for our troops, which always means bad for the Doves.
- Can't we just kill him already???
- A "gay" discount? Lovely.
- I hadn't realized that they'd gone public with the name of the woman who tormented Megan Meier.
- Two words. Home school.
- Drew Peterson is a moron and, if he did it, he's probably made enough mistakes to get taken down. (He actually told Stacy that he killed his 3rd wife?I heard that on the news, but I can't find a link anywhere.)
- Somehow, this woman thinks that having a baby is more selfish than using Global Warming as an excuse for killing her baby. I'd love to think that level of stupidity is confined to the UK, but I know better.
- Henry Hyde has passed away.
- Please tell me that no one is surprised by who supports and who doesn't support this book.
- No one actually believes that CNN didn't know who the plants really were, do they? (updated @ 12:30pm with more links)
- I bet it hurt when Leahy had to admit that the President didn't have anything to do with the US Attorney firings.
- Mike Huckabee gets the Quote of the Night. "Jesus was too smart to ever run for public office, Anderson. That's what Jesus would do."\
- The Elf is getting grief for commenting that he'd ask Guy Faulkes to be his VP.
- Tom Osborne is interim coach at Nebraska. What a shocker (not).
- There's still no suspect in Sean Taylor's murder.
- Since it runs on Microsoft software, one has to wonder how often it needs to be rebooted.
- Meteorologists might be jumping the gun on naming storms? Say it isn't so.
- Men talk more than women? Huh?
- I remember in 3rd grade science being told that Venus was Earth's twin. Dang... it only took scientists 30 years or so.
- Ew. It worked, but... ew.
- Nope. Sorry. Global Warming has nothing to do with an outbreak of chikungunya fever in Italy. Blame air travel, not climate.
