Gov. Ed Rendell's state police-chauffeured car has been clocked at speeds of more than 100 mph nine times since November, a newspaper reported Monday, citing anonymous sources.

One trooper even gave chase, then stopped when Rendell's driver identified himself as "Executive One" over the vehicle's police radio, the Philadelphia Daily News reported. A Pennsylvania State Police spokeswoman said Monday that the department is investigating a complaint received late last week about the speed of the governor's vehicle, and would also look into allegations in the Daily News story. But the spokeswoman, Trooper Linette Quinn, would not reveal more details about the complaint or say whether disciplinary action or criminal charges could result from the investigation.

ughhhh duh!!!  We know they won't!

Student wants vodka to power your cell phone

(KRT) - ST. LOUIS - Imagine powering up your cell phone's battery with vodka and having the charge last for a week. An area seed-money group was so taken with the idea of turning hooch into juice that it invested $400,000 in cash and in-kind services with the St. Louis company that is developing the technology. BioGenerator, a new seed-capital company, signed a deal Friday with Akermin Inc.

Potential uses for Akermin's technology include powering a cell phone or laptop computer using vodka, beer or any other ethanol-based substance. Akers said that once the biofuel cell is charged, it could run a cell phone for a week or a laptop all day before needing another shot - 62 times more energy than traditional batteries.

Plus, biofuel cells don't harm the environment like the heavy metals in lithium batteries, Akers said. "They are presenting a solution that is better than anything that is out there now," Snider said.

The Akermin cell also doesn't have the risks of other fuel cells. A hydrogen cell could blow up, and methanol cells could blind users, Akers said.

"All our cells could do is cause a cool buzz!"

The Russians should be excited about this technology. Vodka, its not just for breakfast anymore! 

 

Hedge dispute might cost couple their home
 

LONDON (AP) - When Paul Derwent and his wife Janet cut down 25 feet of laurel hedge on the boundary of their property in May 2000, they set off a legal dispute that now looks likely to cost them their home. The Derwents' neighbor, Robert Seeckts, a lawyer, sued them for removing the hedge, which had formed a screen between his home and theirs in the southern English village of Groombridge.

Three appeal judges on Thursday threw out the Derwents' appeal against a county court ruling that the hedge belonged to Seeckts and they had therefore acted illegally in removing it. The Derwents said they will have to sell their 600,000-pound (US$1.1 million) home, Linden House, to pay their 350,000-pound (US$630,000) legal bill.

God, you're a hedge! This may be the first time in history that someone paid $630,000 for some bush! 

Rice to testify in public, under oath

WASHINGTON - In a reversal, President Bush said Tuesday that he had agreed to allow his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, to testify in public and under oath before the Sept. 11 commission to give the nation “a complete picture” of events leading up to the 2001 terrorist attacks.

I'm not going to put the whole article up here. This is a load of crap if ever there were one. This is an issue of the separation of powers, plain and simple! But, as it is with most things, the Constitution be damned when it comes to Democrats getting what they want.  Personally I think President Bush should have pulled the 'executive privilege card' on this. But I guess, in a way, he did take the Democrats out at the knees by allowing this to happen. It shut them up and Condoleezza is going to make fools out of them at these hearings.

The fact that this is nothing more than a partisan witch hunt will be so blatant that Americans from both sides of the isle are going to roll their eyes in disgust. The questions that they will ask her, and the way that they are going to ask them, will eliminate any and all doubt as to their partisanship. If you think reporters ask mindless questions at press conferences, you ain't seen nothing yet! These congressmen are going to make total dancing monkey idiots out of themselves. But they will think they are doing something and you know that the press will be right there to try and help them with the spin. Actually, I must admit that I don't think the press will slant this out of pure bias. I think they will do it out of pure damn stupidity. I honestly believe most of them are Constitutionally retarded!

One last thing. Did you know that Clinton pulled the executive privilege card in 1999 to keep a person from having to testify about that mindless Y2K scare? And do you know who that person was? None other than Richard Clarke. The putz who added the fuel to these 9/11 hearings. hmmmm

I'm telling you this is going to be meaningless, pointless, uninformative testimony in front of an irrelevant committee of congressional idiots! WHAP!! 

 

On this day!!  .... in1896 Whitcomb Judson of Chicago IL, patented the first hookless fastener - or as most of us refer to it nowadays, THE ZIPPER! In1918 daylight saving time went into effect for the first time in the United States, thus launching the perpetual catch phrase, "Don't forget to set your clocks back." 
In 1967 Jimi Hendrix began what would become one of his trademarks by burning his first guitar on stage.

Soldiers liberate George H.W. Bush doormat

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - There was a bit of unfinished business left over in Baghdad from the 1991 Gulf War. The U.S. Army has taken care of it. U.S. soldiers visited the battered Al-Rashid on Thursday night wielding hammers and chisels, and dug out the intricate tile mosaic of the former president that was used for years as a state-sponsored insult.

Taking shoes to the face is not exactly a compliment in any culture, but in the Arab world it's a particular slam. Pointing the soles of one's feet at someone is a grave insult. So the notion of thousands of Iraqi feet trudging over the patrician features of George Herbert Walker Bush was particularly appealing to Saddam's regime, humiliated by Bush during the 1991 Gulf War to free Kuwait from Iraqi invaders.

Saddam personally picked the Al-Rashid for the insult to Bush senior. The hotel was heavily trafficked by foreign guests and the base of operations for journalists during the 1991 war -

 Don't you know the journalist just loved that! WHAP! -and the place where, on the night of the first American air strike in January 1991, Arab guests huddled in the basement and shouted "Death to Bush."

The mosaic, an unflattering portrait of Bush with his teeth bared in a scowl, was installed later in 1991 right in the Al-Rashid's doorway complete with a caption in Arabic and English: "Bush is criminal."

On Thursday night, the Army forces destroying the mosaic chipped away until it was unrecognizable. They left behind thousands of little pieces in the concrete of the floor - as ravaged as the hotel itself, which is now uninhabitable.

And look what the Democratic National Headquarters has at their front door. SICK! Just whose side are the Dem's on? The libs in the  media are going to let this slide right on through, but could you imagine the field day they would have if this were the Republican National Headquarters and this was an image of John Kerry? He'd get another purple heart every time someone stepped on it.  I hear that Johnson & Johnson are coming out with a new John Kerry band-aid - each band-aid will come with its own purple heart.

 

Don King backs Bush

Colorful US boxing promoter Don King has thrown himself into the political arena by lending his voice to a Republican Internet "game" attacking Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, the Republican National Committee announced today. The game, found on the web at www.gop.com/kerryvskerry, shows King in a boxing ring announcing a fight between Kerry and Kerry.

"Ladies and Gentlemen - Welcome to Kerry versus Kerry, the battle for the Democratic Party," King announces with his trademark toothy smile and grey mane.

Two likenesses of Kerry - one in blue trunks, the other in red - appear on the screen for "30 rounds" with gloves that say "flip" and "flop". Each round represents a different issue, from the war in Iraq to Israel's security fence.

Damn! Did he snort some of his hairspray? 

Carlsbad family seeks apology in fruitless pot raid

CARLSBAD – Dina Dagy admits her family could do better when it comes to conserving energy.

Her children don't always shut off the computers when they're done. The family of five leaves its outside lights on so that their runaway boxer might find its way home. And it's not uncommon for them to do two or three loads of laundry each day.

But it never occurred to Beryl and Dina Dagy that their high electric bills – which run from $200 to $300 a month – would cause them problems with the law. The Dagys' home was one of 25 raided Friday as part of a six-month investigation into a countywide ring that was growing marijuana inside rental homes. No pot was found in the Dagys' home.

Ya know, the DEA can go to hell. I was going to unload on this story, but I think I would be preaching to the choir. Go find something else to do, you maggots! 

Goat-swap wife runs home

A shepherd is demanding a refund after he swapped his prize goat for a friend's wife - only to have her run back to her husband three months later. Todor Mitevski struck the deal when friend Vladimir Petrov complained his wife, Katya, had failed to produce children and was stupid.

Do you really want me to go off here? I'm thinking most of you have already inserted your own jokes.  I.... never mind:) 

Lethal weapon

A hand gun that speaks several languages, broadcasts the conversation to the police, fires lethal and non-lethal bullets and is activated only by the grip of the registered owner. The breakthrough uses electronics rather than mechanics; instead of moving parts and heavy magazines, it involves a bullet-stacked cylinder fired by electric impulse.

A solo cylinder can be used as a pistol, while a few dozen can be used together to create a ballistic system capable of firing a hailstorm - or metal storm - of bullets in seconds. The weapons are touted as lighter, cheaper and faster than conventional firearms and, because they are electrical, more easily linked to computers.

I just ordered a couple of hundred dozen. I bet Riggs already has one or twenty!

Man Kills Self; Human Head Found in Car

SCITUATE, R.I. - A man who was suspected of harming his girlfriend killed himself after leading police on a high-speed chase. A human head, knives and a gun were found in the man's car. A co-worker had told authorities that Shechtman seemed suicidal and may have harmed his live-in girlfriend.

Shechtman, 33, shot himself in the head Wednesday as police approached his car after a high-speed chase through several Rhode Island towns.

I guess this guy really wanted head and was willing to die for it!

 

Iceberg Off Western Greenland Painted Red

COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Off the coast of western Greenland, in an area saturated by slow-moving ice floes and white icebergs, the blood red one stands out by design.

"We all have a need to decorate Mother Nature because it belongs to all us," Chilean-born Danish artist Marco Evaristti said Thursday.

I agree! Although, my color of choice has more often than not been a clear yellow.

On Wednesday, he used 3,000 liters (780 gallons) of paint diluted with sea water, three fire hoses, two icebreakers and a 20-man crew to spray the chunk of ice floating in the water.

Where are the environmental nuts on that? He just sprayed 780 gallons of paint into the ocean!

There was no immediate reaction from Greenland authorities about the art work.

Oh, I see... it is ART. To hell with the environment when it comes to the liberal arts. The term "liberal arts" was created so that people with absolutely no talent could make a buck filling galleries with visible proof of their astonishing worthlessness. Does anyone else remember the days when art required at least some tiny inkling of talent? If this is art, then why is graffiti illegal? It is the same freaking thing - ruining something by spraying paint all over it!

We need to do away with all this so called funding of the arts. It is a load of B.S.

By the way, this Evaristti guy is the same guy who filled a bunch of working blenders with goldfish and stuck them in a gallery and invited people to turn them on. They let him get away with calling THAT art!

And a few people turned on the blenders!!! Where was PETA on that? Why didn't they flood the streets screaming animal cruelty? Isn't it odd how liberals take a position on something but are willing to look the other way if it is another liberal going against it? WHAP!

Man Sees Face Of Jesus In Pecan Tree

A Louisiana man says he's always had Jesus in his heart. Now, he says he's got Jesus in his pecan tree as well.

At first glance, it looks like any other pecan tree. But with a little closer, you may notice an image of what Clyde Jackson says is Jesus. Jackson says he first spotted him while barbecuing in his backyard. Now, people stop by each night to check it out for themselves. Jackson says the best time to view it is around 6 p.m. CST.

6 p.m just happens to be the end of happy hour. hmmmm...Coincidence? And I hear old Clyde has a bathtub full of coon-ass gin that will make you shout, "Jesus Christ!!" after every shot.  

Sex Line Takes Over Toll Free Number Used For Missouri Tax Help

If you have questions about your income tax refund from Missouri, make sure you don't call the state's toll free number listed in last year's white pages. That number refers you to a sex talk line. Michael Patrick found out the hard way. He had not received the 2004 white pages when he was looking up the number for the Missouri Department of Revenue. Instead of information about taxes, he was invited to talk about sex. The recording stated: "Hi guys welcome to an exciting new way to go live with hot --- girls waiting right now to talk to you."

How ironic that this should happen in the 'show me' state?

But, it seems fitting doesn't it? I mean, if you are talking "taxes" you are talking about getting screwed!!

----- Just click the link below. Forget the article, look to the right side of the page and the picture of Al Roker. The caption under that picture should conjure up uncontrollable vomiting fits. Where is the FCC on this? This goes WAY beyond indecency!! WHAP! YACK!


 

On this day in 1930 Sandra Day O'Connor was born in El Paso TX. She is the 1st woman to be appointed as a Supreme Court Justice. My God, to think we went from letting them vote to letting them actually make law. Who was group leader that day??

On this day in 1948 Steven Tyler was born in New York NY.  The doctor said, congratulations you have just given birth to a healthy set of lips.

On this day in 1994 talk show hostess Ricki Lake married Rob Sussman. Before meeting Ricki, Rob never imagined that flour would become such an indispensable part of his sex life!

PETA To Step Up Anti-KFC Campaign

NORFOLK - The animal-rights activists who once suggested Ronald McDonald was a bloody butcher are going after Colonel Sanders, contending cruelty is the "secret recipe" for KFC's fried chicken.

Starting next month, Norfolk-based People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals plans to hand out "Buckets of Blood" to children outside KFC restaurants and at middle and high schools near the restaurants. The buckets are part of PETA's international campaign against what it says are farming and slaughter abuses by KFC's suppliers.

The 5-inch-tall, red-and-white striped containers mimic KFC's buckets. But instead of fried chicken, each is filled with items including a bag of fake blood and bones, a bloodied plastic chicken and a cardboard caricature of a blood-spattered Colonel Sanders holding a butcher knife toward a terrified-looking chicken.

These PETA people need to be euthanized anytime you can manage to catch at least 5 of them together at once! I find the male members of PETA to be outlandishly hypocritical considering the enormous amount of chickens that they choke on a daily basis.

Muppets Bringing Peace to the Middle East

A programming experiment using the Muppet characters was launched six months ago and was widely welcomed by parents, educators and the media. But the Muppets are not without their critics in Israel, the Palestinian Authority and Jordan. Sesame Workshop partnered with local producers to create "Sesame Stories," an adventurous initiative to use new and existing "Sesame Street" characters to foster respect and understanding among children in the region.

Oh yes, what a great idea. Can't you just see it now  --- the Cookie Monster and Big Bird cruising down Sesame Street discussing nouns and adjectives and then all of a sudden, when they pass the Grouch's garbage can -- BOOM!!!!! Cookies, feathers, fur and eyeballs all over the sidewalk!

Today's show brought to you by the letters B, O, M and B.

Clichés, to be honest with you, drive us mad

LONDON (Reuters) - The fact of the matter is that at the end of the day there is nothing, like, value-added about using clichés 24/7 -- with all due respect it's not awesome, it's annoying.

That is the actual opening paragraph to this story. Is that supposed to be 'cute'? What retarded editor let that go through? They should be beat to death with a shovel.

The Plain English Campaign said on Wednesday it had canvassed people in 70 countries to find the most irritating phrases of all.

People who regurgitate irritating cliché phrases annoy the spider snot out of me! They should be beat to death with a shovel.

"Using these terms in daily business is about as professional as wearing a novelty tie or having a wacky ring tone on your phone", Lister said in a statement.

Man, those "whacky ring tones" really drive me nuts! I hate them! I don't understand peoples infatuation with them. They should be beat to death with a shovel.

T-Shirt Trouble for Abercrombie & Fitch

Gov. Bob Wise sent a letter to Abercrombie & Fitch on Monday demanding that the clothing retailer stop selling a T-shirt that spoofs the state with the slogan, "It's All Relative in West Virginia."

Timm's Shovel just learned from an inside source that Gov. Bob Wise secretly asked his secretary to order a shirt for his cousin, his wife and himself. The 2 shirts are due to arrive by Friday. 

Gas Pump Prices Hit All-Time High

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. average retail gasoline prices hit an all-time high on Tuesday as a tight-fisted OPEC policy and rising demand constricted supplies, according to the American Automobile Association. The average price for regular gasoline at the nation's pumps was $1.738 per gallon, up less than a cent from the previous record hit last September, according to the motorist group's survey of more than 60,000 stations.

Blah, blah, blah! They are playing with the numbers here, folks. If you factor in inflation, the price is basically the same as it was fifty years ago. Spin, spin. Gotta love the media. News flash --- up from 5 cents to 89 cents, a bottle of Coke is at an all time high. Man, how maddening!  

 

Anger over Lib Dem vote on porn

Children's campaigners and church groups have denounced Liberal Democrat calls for change in the law to allow 16-year-olds to view pornography. They voted in favor of allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to visit sex shops, which would be made easier to set up and run.

Have to love those Democrats. Oh, these are from Britain.

The planet Pluto was officially named on this day in 1930. Thus giving name to the birth place of most of the women I have met in my life! Also, on this day in 1958 Elvis Presley joined the army.

World Champion 'Snake Man' Killed by Cobra

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's Boonreung Buachan, holder of the Guinness Book of World Records title for spending the most time penned up with snakes, was killed by a cobra that bit him during his daily show, a hospital doctor said on Monday.

Boonreung was listed by the "Guinness Book of World Records" in 1998 after living with snakes in a glass box for seven days.

I think Amber Lynn set a similar record for spending the most time penned up in a room with snakes. I think all those snakes did was spit on her though. 

Great White denies connection to album, considers legal action

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) The band whose pyrotechnics sparked a nightclub fire that killed 100 people said it has nothing to do with a recently released cover album titled ''Burning House of Love.'' A manager and a lawyer for the 1980s rock band Great White said the CD is an unauthorized release and the title is in bad taste. The band is exploring legal action against Horizon Italy, the label that released the album.

I can't believe that their music has only lead to 100 deaths. I know I wanted to nibble on the business end of a pistol barrel after about the 100,000th time I heard "Rock me."

Beggar banned

A Birmingham man has been banned from exposing himself anywhere in Britain after he was convicted of breaching a previous court order. Beggar Neil Statham, was sentenced to two months' imprisonment and given a Criminal Anti-Social Behaviour Order (CRASBO) after being caught urinating in a public place. The order has three conditions - he is not to expose himself in a public, he is not to beg in a public and he is not to urinate in a public.

Well, I guess that just leaves him with no where to GO!

Christians Try To Censor Georgia School's Reading List

CARTERSVILLE, GaSome Christian parents in Georgia want a bevy of books removed from their local schools' reading list.

And some of us want those parents removed from the oxygen tent that us normal people call earth.

Three parents with the group Crusaders for Christ told members of the Bartow County Board of Education that several books are too offensive for students to be reading. The group's leader, the Rev. Dwight Holcomb, told board members, "You're going to answer to God Almighty for your decision."

Stop shaking your snakes and grab a chair, bud. You are going to have to answer too. Do you think that God is going to take comfort in the fact that you derided some of his greatest inspirations? Fool.

Among the books this freak wants banned, "Of Mice and Men", "The Martian Chronicles", and "To Kill a Mockingbird".

I am white knuckle gripping! Like kids read nowadays anyway.  I ... never mind! Shut up and go away!

Fran Drescher announces campaign for women's health

'Four more years, four more years,' is a familiar chant to victorious politicians. It's also Fran Drescher's goal as she nears the fourth anniversary of her being cancer-free. Now, the former Nanny star and health advocate is contemplating adding a new role to her resume — politician.

"There have been people who have approached me about running for political office and I am now seriously considering it," says Drescher.

If that happens -- color me sitting on a grassy knoll licking my trigger finger.  My God, is there a more annoying voice on this planet?  I wonder if Newbomb would be her running mate?  <heehee - so many of you didn't get that! too bad, you lose!>

 

Intel confirms chip-naming change

Celeron will now be known as Celeron D (for Desktop) or Celeron M (for Mobile). Thus, the next desktop Celeron will be called something like Celeron D 300 while Dothan, the next upgrade to the Pentium M, will be the Pentium M 700, for example.

Read this article if you want, but I think the person who wrote it is probably standing in line at the methadone clinic right about now. It is the most discombobulated thing I have ever read. Whew! Put down the pipe, brother! 

Anyway, let me put it in a nutshell for you. The computer nerds are going to start referring to their 'puters the way the cool dudes that they grew up with did their cars. They are going to give them cool names that have nothing to do with the speed of the chip. How cool! Not!

Also, in an attempt to differentiate themselves they don't want to use the word 'series' after the model.

Right on! I'm feeling ya, you freaks!! uggghhhh.... Geeeez! 

Can you say, "Hemi?"

Fletcher's hidden door cost $5,871

Taxpayers spent $5,871 to give Gov. Ernie Fletcher the hidden door into the Capitol room he uses for press conferences and cabinet meetings, according to state records

"I'm not here to serve your all's whims, basically," he told reporters at a March 5 news conference.

Yesterday, the Finance and Administration Cabinet released records showing the state paid $990 for materials and $4,881 for labor for the door in Room 110.

Why isn't someone shoveling this mans guts out right now? I know I have 2 of you shovelers in the great state of Kentucky. Get gripping!

Hey Ernie, yes you are there to serve, and THAT IS THE ONLY REASON THAT YOU ARE THERE!  WHAP! Jackass!

This guy ran and won as a Republican. Yeah, right! This putz is one of the many reason why President Bush can't get anything done up there. The republicans are spineless weenies! 

We have to take back our government, people!

Pakistan: Al-Qaida No. 2 may be surrounded

WANA, Pakistan - Pakistani officials said Thursday that they believed that troops fighting a fierce battle had cornered and may have wounded Ayman al-Zawahri, Osama bin Laden’s top deputy in the al-Qaida terrorist network. Although he has been on the run since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001, al-Zawahri has continued to play a vital role in al-Qaida’s propaganda efforts with a series of audiotapes inciting followers to strike U.S. and Western targets.

This is huge if it is actually this guy. As far as terror operations are concerned, catching this guy is 10 times bigger than catching Osama. Osama's capture will draw more as far as publicity goes, but getting this guy means a lot more to the war on terror.

Unwired Travel: Virgin Potty Talk

But nothing will prepare you for the men’s room in the newly-designed Virgin Airways Clubhouse in New York’s John F. Kennedy airport, terminal 4: Urinals shaped like a woman’s mouth, dolled up with red lipstick, wide open and ready for business.

Why do I get the feeling that this will have the NOW gang standing in line instead of marching around with protest signs.

I think I would just stand in front of the thing and ponder the minutia of  my other daily activities. 

Poland was 'misled' on Iraqi weapons, president says

WARSAW, Poland (AP) Poland's president, a key Washington ally in Europe, said Thursday his country was ''misled'' about the threat of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, and added he may withdraw troops early if Iraq is stabilized.

Misled? How do you mislead a Pollock? Hand them a piece of paper with "look at the other side" written on both sides of it?

Bush Thanks Soldiers for 'Job Well Done'

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) - A year after he sent troops to Iraq, President Bush thanked thousands who have returned home for "a job well done" and said the United States must persevere in the war against terrorism.

"Welcome home!" exclaimed the president, wearing a military-style jacket as he spoke Thursday to thousands. .... After the pep talk for the troops, Bush was meeting privately with survivors of some who never made it home.

He also walked the chow line with his wife, Laura, and with soldiers, picking out fried shrimp, corn and broccoli.

Bush told the soldiers they were serving "at a crucial hour in the history of freedom"

"In the first war of the 21st century," he said, "you're defending your fellow citizens against ruthless enemies. And by your sacrifice, you're making our country more secure. You have delivered justice to many terrorists, and you're keeping the rest of them on the run." .

"It's about time we got somebody in a key position to do what we need to do" in leading the military, said Sgt. Jerry Tucker, who served in Iraq.

Amen!

Man Thought He Was Running Over Bin Laden

A French artist allegedly traumatized by last week's Spain bombings was convicted of trying to run over a pedestrian he mistook for Osama bin Laden and ordered to pay the man $615. The 35-year-old defendant, identified as Pierre, was sentenced Tuesday by a court in this southern France city to a three-month suspended prison term.

I can't believe the punishment was so light! This is France after all. They guy tried to run down one of their heroes!

Day the sun nearly shut down earth
 

A wave of massive explosions which erupted from the sun's surface was so powerful it came close to shutting down power grids and radio and mobile phone networks across the world.

President Bush was blamed for the explosions which were obviously the result of his obsession with taking us into  Iraq!

 

France gets Islamist threat

PARIS: France has received threats of a possible attack against French interests from an Islamist group apparently named after a Chechen guerrilla killed in a Moscow hostage-taking in 2002, the Interior Ministry says.

Stephane Berthomet, a former anti-terrorist police officer, said he had never heard of the group. "I fear these are some of the people who will appear more and more in the next few months," he said. "We will have a slew of threats." Berthomet said France had already hiked its security precautions up to "red" level, the highest it could do without unleashing draconian measures in the top "scarlet" level.

Scarlet? SCARLET!!? Did the cast of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy design the color scheme for their alert levels? Scarlet. Good grief!

Who are they trying to kid with that alert level scheme anyway? We all know that they only color they know is the lily white of a surrender flag!

Soldier's shame over donkey sex
 

An Afghan soldier was detained by police after being caught having sex with a donkey in southeastern Afghanistan, a police officer said today. The soldier was discovered with the donkey in an abandoned house in a small village of Gardez, the capital of Paktia province, last week, a local police officer said.

The soldier claimed he committed the act because he did not have enough money to get married.

Ahhh... the old Burro banging because I didn't have enough money to get married excuse, huh?  Hey, who among us?

John Kerry quote of the day - "I actually did vote for the $87 billion, before I voted against it. "

On this day in1818 Congress approved the 1st pensions for government service.... thus leading the way to the lifelong politician. Didn't we have shovels back then?

GLOBE REPORTER CLAIMS TAPE RECORDED KERRY 'MORE' LEADERS NOT 'FOREIGN' LEADERS; TRANSCRIPTION 'SCREW-UP'

A BOSTON GLOBE reporter at the center of a growing controversy over comments made by John Kerry last week in Florida now claims he "screwed-up" --"I mis-transcribed a key word," explains Patrick Healy, a political reporter for the Boston Globe who covered the event in a pool capacity. "Listening to the audio recorder now, in the quiet of my house, I hear 'more leaders' and I am certain that 'more leaders' is what Senator Kerry said."

Well, you tossed off your excuse just a little too late there, Patrick. <If that is your real name.> Kerry has already said that he spoke to the 'foreign' leaders. So, now it looks like both of you are lying. Imagine that. Here is a quote from Kerry at a town meeting.

"...you asked me if I'd met with any leaders. Yes. I have had conversations with leaders, yes, recently. That's not your business, it's mine. I've met with foreign leaders for any (inaudible) purpose - I never said that. What I said was that I have heard from people who are leaders elsewhere in the world who don't appreciate the Bush administration approach and would love to see a change in the leadership of the United States."

I did, I didn't, I kinda did? Can I offer a little advice here? SHUT UP! You guys are digging yourself a humongous hole. You're going Ditchwitch on this hole. Shut down the backhoe and stop while you are ahead. The press will let it disappear if you will just shut up.

How about another quote from John F*ing Kerry.

“I do not fault George Bush for doing too much in the war on terror. I believe he’s done too little,” Kerry said. “I think this administration has it backward. President Bush says we can’t afford to fund homeland security. I say we can’t afford not to.”

"Time and again, George Bush has failed to give those fighting the war on terror -- whether they're overseas or here -- the weapons, equipment, and support they need."

This from a guy who last week was saying that the terror threat had been "exaggerated."  A guy who voted against the creation of Homeland Security SIX freaking times! Thus delaying it for close to a year. He didn't even show last year to vote on the 29.3 billion dollar appropriations bill for Homeland Security. He votes against spending the money and then claims that we can't afford not to spend it. This behavior is psychotic!

Damage from Warming Becoming 'Irreversible,' Says New Report

WASHINGTON, D.C., Mar 15 -- Ten years after the ratification of a United Nations treaty on climate change, greenhouse gas emissions that lead to global warming are still on the rise, signaling a "collective failure" of the industrialized world, according to the Washington-based World Resources Institute (WRI), a leading environmental think-tank.

 

"We are quickly moving to the point where the damage will be irreversible," warned Dr. Jonathan Pershing, director of WRI's Climate, Energy and Pollution Program. "In fact, the latest scientific reports indicate that global warming is worsening. Unless we act now, the world will be locked into temperatures that would cause irreversible harm."

Read the rest of this if you want. I am so sick of this stuff. These people have no idea what they are talking about, so why do we listen to them? Think about it.... we can't accurately forecast the weather five days in advance, so how do they expect us to take this seriously?  WHAP! This is just a small clip of an article that ran in Newsweek in 1975. Back then they thought we were headed for another ice age! FREAKS! Read it.

A survey completed last year by Dr. Murray Mitchell of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reveals a drop of half a degree in average ground temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere between 1945 and 1968. According to George Kukla of Columbia University, satellite photos indicated a sudden, large increase in Northern Hemisphere snow cover in the winter of 1971-72. And a study released last month by two NOAA scientists notes that the amount of sunshine reaching the ground in the continental U.S. diminished by 1.3% between 1964 and 1972.

Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing the variables of climatic uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies. The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.

It is the same language, just a different prediction. In 1975 we were going to freeze, today we are going to burn. It is all a big load! My God, when are we going to stop giving these enviro- freaks the time of day?

Singer Whitney Houston enters rehabilitation facility

LOS ANGELES -- Grammy-winning pop singer Whitney Houston has entered a drug rehabilitation facility, her publicist said. Houston "thanks everyone for their support and prayers," publicist Nancy Seltzer said in a statement Monday. She declined to offer any further details.

Lets be honest here. She had to check into rehab because her main connection, Bobby, is doing 60 days in the big house!


 

Wesley Clark's Campaign Auctions Off Equipment

LITTLE ROCK, ArkWesley Clark isn't looking for votes anymore. But hundreds of people went to his campaign headquarters hunting for bargains. Clark's campaign held an auction in Little Rock Friday, to pay off debts from the retired general's run at the Democratic nomination. The sale of office equipment and memorabilia raised about $27,000.

Theme Park Flyer Lists Number For Porn Line

TAMPA, Fla. -- A typo on a flyer for Busch Gardens led surprised callers to a recorded sex line. The Tampa theme park inadvertently listed the wrong number its marketing fliers, which were mailed to some former holders of its discount Fun Card last week, said park spokesman Gerard Hoeppner. When patrons called the number to renew their Fun Cards, they heard a woman welcoming them to the "Pleasure Zone." The recording urges callers to enter their credit card numbers and gain access for as little as 99 cents per minute.

Isn't it ironic that this happened at "Bush" Gardens? Please, keep your "log ride" and "love tunnel" jokes to yourself.

Socialists Oust Spain's Conservatives

FOLLOW UP FROM YESTERDAY!

The press are playing this out like it was a landslide against the conservatives. I did a little digging around. The Socialist won with 42% of the vote. The Conservatives received 37%. 21% went to to the "independent" vote. That means that 58% of the people were against the change. I know that is just playing with numbers, but I just wanted you to see that it wasn't the huge landslide that the press is playing it up to be.  

Jackson wanted to star as man-turned-car

Here’s a film that could have knocked “Gigli” off the worst-flicks lists: Michael Jackson wanted to star in a movie about a man who turns into a car that’s driven around by a little boy. The singer — who’s facing child molestation charges — was trying to get a film called “Hot Rod” made, according to “Jersey Girl” director Kevin Smith.

“It was about Michael Jackson morphing into a car,” Smith tells Playboy magazine in an issue just hitting newsstands. “Jackson was behind it, and he wanted it to be this story about a guy, played by himself, who hangs out with a little boy, and this little boy gets into the car and drives him around.”

Why hasn't someone beat this freak with a shovel? Hot Rod??? I'm sure Jackson was "behind" it. What happened to the good old days of Herbie the Love Bug? Or, is it... never mind.

On this day in 1762, they held the1st St Patrick's Day parade in NYC.

Windows 'fatal trap for UK birds'
 

Up to 100 million UK birds are crashing into windows each year, with a third of them dying, a bird research group says.

Bill Gates will be blamed and sued for this I'm sure.

 

 

Cops hunt Cambodian who staged own death
 

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) - Police were looking for a Cambodian man who faked his own death in a bid to claim insurance money in Canada, officials said Monday.

The 42-year-old man, who lives in Canada, allegedly purchased a corpse and then staged a car accident on Feb. 27 in northwestern Siem Reap province, said Om Sywouthia, the provincial chief of immigration police. Police had initially reported that the burned body found in the driver's seat of the car was the man's, but later discovered it was that of a woman who died during childbirth.

Shouldn't the real story here be that the guy was able to buy a corpse? Is there a Corpse R Us in Canada, or something? Those damn French are just whacked!

If I were going to fake my own death I think I would use Peter Jennings' corpse!

Socialists Oust Spain's Conservatives

MADRID, Spain - The opposition Socialists scored a dramatic upset win in Spain's general election Sunday, unseating conservatives stung by charges they provoked the Madrid terror bombings by supporting the U.S.-led war in Iraq and making Spain a target for al-Qaida. It was the first time a government that backed the Iraq war has been voted out of office.

The Socialist didn't win anything here. The terrorist did. The terrorist just learned that they can affect elections. This should scare the spider snot out of you. The conservative was up by ten points going into this election. Then, boom -they get hit and one day later they freak out and react opposite of how they should have. The Spaniards caved to terrorism! They just raised the white flag and invited the terrorist to hit them again and again and again.  I'm going to call them France!

We had better not do that over here. What if we are hit in November? <look for it> I think America would stand up and rally, but the other scenario has to send little spider monkeys running up and down your spine. If Kerry gets in, you had better get ready to have a wand waved around you every where you go.

This whole thing brings up another point. Hasn't the left been saying that we shouldn't have went into Iraq because Iraq had nothing to do with al-Qaida and the terrorist attacks?

Now they are saying that Spain was bombed by al-Qaida because Spain backed us in Iraq. On one hand they say that Iraq and al-Qaida have nothing to do with each other, then they turn around and claim that Spain was bombed by al-Qaida because they support us in Iraq. Hello? Which way is it?  Gotta love that liberal mindset! How bowlegged do you have to be to try and walk both sides of the isle like they do?  

A few things that happened on this day....

In 1991 Wolfgang Van Halen son of Eddie Van Halen & Valerie Bertinelli was born. <Eddie is in deep need of a shovel to the head!>

In 1968 the My Lai massacre occurred in Vietnam - 450 dead. Will John F'ing Kerry stand up and run his mouth about those atrocities today? hmmmmmm Doubt it!!

In 1994 Tonya Harding plead guilty to felony attack on Nancy Kerrigan. White trash around the world bowed their heads in shame and then ate apple sauce by the hubcap full.

Shut up Drudge!

AP: Rumsfeld, FBI Official Kept 9-11 Items

The final investigatory report said the Justice Department inspector general confirmed Rumsfeld "has a piece of the airplane that flew into the Pentagon." The Associated Press obtained a copy of the report Friday.

Pentagon spokesman Lawrence Di Rita said Friday night that Rumsfeld has a shard of metal from the jetliner that struck the Pentagon on a table in his office and shows it to people as a reminder of the tragedy Pentagon workers shared on Sept. 11, 2001.

We needed a tax payer funded investigation for this? My God, that is disgusting! If you were around Ground Zero and picked something up and kept it, you'd better run for the hills!

This article is long and tedious! Read it if you want, or should I say - if you are bored to the point of suicide. I just put it up because the story starts with Rumsfeld's shard of metal, but then he isn't really mentioned again. hmmmm... How odd. Slant? nooooo

I guess the left is now trying to outlaw souvenirs. I'd say that the Smithsonian better prepare itself for one HUGE investigation!

Numerical Ties Between Terrorist Attacks

In comparing the Madrid bombings to the 9-11 terrorist attacks in the United States, there are some numerical ties. There were 911 days in-between the terror attacks in Madrid and Sept. 11, 2001 -- or 9-11 as it has become known -- when al-Qaida-backed terrorists slammed planes into the Pentagon, a field in Pennsylvania and the World Trade Center towers in New York, destroying them. The Madrid bombings -- which happened on 3-11 -- also came 2-1/2 years to the day after the 9-11 attacks.

I put this up for you freaks who wrap your domes in tinfoil and hide in your crawl spaces because of the "black helicopters" that are always circling your houses!

In a related story -- 911 minus 311 equals Hillary's weight.

Caesarean refusal leads to murder charge

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- A pregnant woman who allegedly ignored medical warnings to have a Caesarean section to save her twins was charged Thursday with murder after one of the babies was stillborn.

Prosecutors said Melissa Ann Rowland, 28, didn't want the scars that accompany the surgery.

An autopsy found the baby died two days before its January 13 delivery and that it would have survived if Rowland had had a C-section when her doctors urged her to, between Christmas and January 9. The other baby is alive, but authorities had no further information.

First off, is this or is this not, comedian Rob Schneider in drag???!?  Come on now.

Man! I find it equally unbelievable that either of them would have anything to do with the word "pregnant".

Hold on a second.... Ok. Sorry - I had to go beat myself with a shovel for even creating that visual!

Anyway, enough with the jokes. Well, how about her not wanting a scar. I mean..... ahhhh....never mind.

Man, oh man, is this going to make for one hell of a legal battle. The pro-choice people have to be spinning on their foreheads about this. Think about it, a woman is being charged for the death of an unborn baby! Isn't that the same thing as abortion? Or did I miss something somewhere in the middle of it all? Hello?

Are we going to start charging women for murder if their child is stillborn? The baby was dead two days before it was born, so how can they charge her for murder? By pro-life standards, it was never even alive. You can't charge someone for murdering something that never even lived can you? <trial lawyers would love to get their hands on that scenario, wouldn't they!> God Almighty! They would have a field day with it! <that is a whole other rant!>

Anywho, they can't possibly hold up an argument to call this murder when they let partial birth abortion take place. I mean, with partial birth abortion the child is actually born and then it is killed.

The unborn are killed everyday, so what makes this one murder? Don't give me the "doctor said" line!! All I have heard all of my life is that a woman has a right to do what she wants with her own body. "Screw the doctors, screw everybody! It is my body and you can't tell me what to do with it!" Right? Isn't that their mantra? hhmmm

I'm being absurd here -- or not really. I'm being dead on!  But think of how this could tie up the courts until infinity!

Notice how the pro-choice crowd is staying silent on this? Can I tell you why? It is because they are hoping that this thing will just slip right on under the radar and go away. See, this case leaves them no room to obfuscate or spin. This is one that they can't take a side on because they will kill themselves no matter which side they take. heeeheee I love it!

 Keep an on it!

Flying $100 bills lead to suspected DUI arrest

KAANAPALI - As $100 bills flew out of his pickup truck, a suspected drunken driver was arrested Tuesday afternoon when he was stopped at the scene of a two-vehicle collision on Honoapiilani Highway, police said.

When the pickup truck driver reached the crash scene shortly after 4 p.m., he appeared to be intoxicated and had trouble complying with officers' instructions as they directed him to pull off the highway, Hirata said. "He definitely was a hazard."

Drunk - hazard? Was he a Duke? Sounds to me like Uncle Jessi sold a few jugs of his bathtub sippin' whiskey down in Maui and was having himself a time with his bounty. I guess the man is going international! I'm sure Bo and Luke are scheming to bust him back stateside right now! Someone better alert Roscoe P. Coletrain.

Australia Names Crowe, Kidman, Living Treasures

March 14 — SYDNEY (Reuters) - Actors Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman were named "Living National Treasures" by Australian heritage group the National Trust of Australia on Sunday.

National Treasure? Does this mean I am going to have to file papers with the EPA if I want to drill her?

Donated bodies blown up by Army

When Tulane University found itself with a temporary oversupply of cadavers that had been donated to science a few years ago, the school did what it usually does: It called a cadaver broker. Tulane said it assumed the broker would ship the bodies to other universities, where medical students would dissect them.

Instead, the broker sold the bodies to the Army, and the Army blew them up in land-mine experiments. The Army says it did nothing wrong and has a legitimate need to study whether special boots can prevent land-mine injuries. The broker said he only did what brokers do: link up buyers with sellers.

But others say that blowing up bodies is not what donors have in mind when they turn over the remains of loved ones "to science."

That is "science" you moron!! I like it. I think they need to add a special check box just for this on the organ donor cards. I think I will write it in on mine! "If I should die before I wake, explode my ass for a soldiers sake!"  

Norway Lawmakers Facing Easter Egg Crisis

OSLO, Norway - Norwegian lawmakers couldn't help but cackle Wednesday when a legislator demanded the government outline plans for countering a looming Easter egg crisis. A new law cuts the amount of time stores can keep fresh eggs on their shelves from 40 days to 28, leading the egg industry to warn that there could be a shortage over Easter. Coloring Easter eggs and going on Easter egg hunts is a popular pastime among Norwegian children, who enjoy about six days off school around the holiday.

Oeystein Hedstroem, of the right-wing Party of Progress, found the shortage threat so worrisome that he raised it raised during the lawmaker's weekly question-and-answer session with the government.

Hmmmm. Another vast right-wing conspiracy. Somebody alert that fat hen, Hillary! Right-wing conspiracy! Also, someone send those fruitcakes a dictionary because I wouldn't call 28 days fresh! Much less 40! Who would eat a 40 day old egg? If a hen were sitting on it, it would hatch at about 21 days.  

Wendy's Workers Photographed Bathing In Restaurant Sink

Fast-food workers are required to be clean -- but this time they apparently took it too far. It looks like a Wendy's restaurant in North Carolina won't be cited for any health-code violations -- after it was discovered that two employees took a bath in one of the sinks. Photos show two men in bathing suits taking turns bathing in the large sink, which was filled with bubbles. The pictures turned up at a CVS pharmacy. A photo worker told authorities.

The Democrats should run with this! I mean what more proof do they need to advance their policy of raising the minimum wage? Obviously the minimum wage isn't a living wage if these guys are forced to bathe in the sink where they work because they can't afford their own bathtubs! WHAP!

Actually, you have to wonder just what sort of Mexican ditch weed these two were smoking when they came up with this idea.

Printed or digital, tomes struggle

SAN JOSE, Calif. - These are lonely days for encyclopedias. At libraries, the volumes sit ignored for days on end as information-seeking patrons tap busily away at nearby computers. Even in the warmth of a loving home, that set of hard-bound books that once represented the crown tool of a good education gets the cold shoulder.

"Sometimes, my mom uses it as a coaster," says high school senior Andy Ng of Daly City, Calif.. In the age of the Internet, encyclopedias are gathering dust, and most families with young children don't even consider buying the space-hogging printed sets anymore. Even digital versions struggle for attention.

The internet killed the pedia star!  lalala

Human remains feared in food

VANCOUVER -- Human remains may have been in meat processed for human consumption at a pig farm at the centre of the investigation into Vancouver's missing women, B.C.'s provincial health officer confirmed yesterday. "We can't rule out the possibility of cross-contamination," Dr. Perry Kendall said in an interview.

Robert Pickton faces 15 counts of first-degree murder in the disappearance of women from Vancouver's seedy Downtown Eastside. Police have said they have found human remains and other DNA samples at the farm Pickton owned with his brother and sister near Port Coquitlam, just east of Vancouver.

Kendall has asked anyone who may still have frozen pork products from Pickton's farm to return those products to police.

Along with any doughnuts they might have sitting around! If I had any of the sausage I would put it on eBay. There are freaks out there who would bid fat amounts of cash on it.

New slogan --"Pickton Sausage - a sausage that people will die for!" 

Passenger finds out who cops are, the hard way

Flying to Washington on Monday, the Glencoe man allegedly sized up each first-class passenger as a potential federal air marshal. Allegedly he pointed at one and declared him "too fat'' to be a marshal.

Before it was over, Jeffrey Samuel Silverman caused enough trouble that he was arrested and charged with interfering with a flight attendant through assault or intimidation on United Airlines Flight 620 from O'Hare to Ronald Reagan International Airport.

Asked why he did it, he allegedly told the FBI, "I'm just an asshole. What can I tell you? I behaved badly and I am sorry if I caused any trouble.''

What can I say? I agree, you are just an asshole and you NEED TO BE BEAT TO DEATH WITH A SHOVEL!

 

On this day in 1933 FDR conducted his 1st "fireside chat" on the radio.
He later ran campaign ads where he mentioned Pear Harbor! How dare he!

D.C. Sniper Muhammad Sentenced to Death

MANASSAS, Va. - Sniper mastermind John Allen Muhammad was sentenced to death Tuesday by a judge who called the Washington-area shootings that left 10 people dead "so vile that they were almost beyond comprehension."

Muhammad denied any involvement in the October 2002 rampage, echoing a claim of innocence he made in his opening statement to the jury when he briefly served as his own attorney.

"Just like I said at the beginning, I had nothing to do with this, and I'll say again, I had nothing to do with this," Muhammad said.

Sure you had nothing to do with it, John. What about the hole in the trunk of your car? What was that? Was that an air hole for animals you were keeping in your trunk? Were you pet-sitting for Richard Gere's gerbils?

Kerry would support executing bin Laden

"That status of war led me to find it impossible to suggest I wouldn't want to blow Osama bin Laden's brains out and treat him as an enemy," he said in an interview with the Tribune while visiting the Chicago area for several campaign stops.

hmmmm... what would the press do with a quote like this if it were from President Bush? Only "cowboys" want to blow brains out. Right? Remember when President Bush -- shortly after 9-11- said he wanted Osama 'dead or alive'? The liberals in the press freaked out and said that Presidents shouldn't talk that way. They whined and referenced the old west and cowboys and blah, blah, blah! Don't count on them to have a problem with this though.

The Bovine Simulator Project

Bovine rectal palpation is a difficult procedure for veterinary students to learn and requires considerable practice to accurately identify structures. The majority of teaching takes place on farms with veterinary surgeons but it is increasingly difficult to ensure all students develop skills adequately by the time of graduation. This is partly due to the increased number of students in each year and reduced access to cows.

Reduced access to cows?  I wonder if that has anything to do with Alabama marriage laws.

Additionally, when a student is examining a cow the teacher is unable to observe what the student is palpating and the student may not be able to describe their hand position inside the cow. Therefore it is difficult for the teacher to instruct the student in the procedure.

The simulator was initially developed during an MSc project as an interactive teaching tool for veterinary students and may provide a way of supplementing existing training methods. The simulator uses haptic technology which allows the user to interact with a virtual environment through their sense of touch. While using the Bovine Rectal Palpation Simulator the student palpates virtual objects resembling parts of the reproductive tract inside the rear-half of a fiberglass cow. The teacher can visualize the student's actions on a screen and therefore provide training and guidance.

Rosie O' Donald and Rosanne Barr's gynecologist are very exited about this project!

What's new pussycat? No leather

Tom Jones is finally giving up the tight leather trousers and shirts open to the waist.

His son and manager Mark has told him they look embarrassing on a 63-year-old.

The singer himself is quoted as saying he should have done it 20 years ago. He said: "My pants are not as tight any more, I don't open my shirt so far and I don't pick up the underwear."

A generation of pant stuffing comes to an end. If you own stock in socks, sell, sell, sell!

Drivers Spot X-Rated Films in Other Cars

DETROIT - Andrea Carlton hadn't planned on telling her daughter about the birds and bees until she was 8 or 9. But that changed the night 4-year-old Catherine spotted a porno movie flickering on a screen in a minivan nearby.

Gives a whole new meaning to "Paradise by the dashboard light", doesn't it!!!

Robotic Legs Could Produce Super Troops

BERKELEY, Calif. - Move over Bionic Man and make room for BLEEX — the Berkeley Lower Extremities Exoskeleton, with strap-on robotic legs designed to turn an ordinary human into a super strider. Ultimately intended to help people like soldiers or firefighters carry heavy loads for long distances, these boots are made for marching.

The exoskeleton consists of a pair of mechanical metal leg braces that include a power unit and a backpack-like frame. The braces are attached to a modified pair of Army boots and are also connected, although less rigidly, to the user's legs.

More than 40 sensors and hydraulic mechanisms function like a human nervous system, constantly calculating how to distribute the weight being borne and create a minimal load for the wearer. In lab experiments, says Kazerooni, testers have walked around in the 100-pound exoskeleton plus a 70-pound backpack and felt as if they were carrying just five pounds.

Video of the BLEEX in action, which can be viewed at http://www.me.berkeley.edu/hel/bleex.htm, shows a steel-spiked symbiosis of man and machine, marching about to the techno-industrial drone of grinding motors.

Kinda cool.

Lastly, on this day in 1986 the NFL adopted the instant replay rule!

California Lawmakers Want Voting Age Lowered to 14

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Four Democratic California lawmakers on Monday proposed giving teenagers as young as 14 the right to vote in a move that would make the often trailblazing state the first in the nation to do so.

The Constitution means nothing to Democrats. Their whims mean more to them than the law of the land. What a bunch of freaks! 14??? Do any of us want 14 year olds having any say so in anything that affects our lives? Hell no!

What this boils down to is that liberal Democrats have realized what cigarette companies realized years ago -- you have to get them young. Adults don't take up smoking and in the same vein, nor do they start voting liberal. Pretty simple! GRIP! 

Computer addict dies at screen

A computer game addict in western China collapsed and died at his screen after playing the popular online game Saga non-stop for 20 hours, a news report said today.

The 31-year-old began playing the game regularly at an internet cafe in Chengdu, Sichuan province, three months before his death, according to the South China Morning Post. An employee at the cafe said he would play for more than 10 hours a day and was found dead on Saturday morning after a marathon 20-hour session, the newspaper said.

Mario and his brother were too bereaved to comment.
