Look Familiar?



Sure looks like a Klan rally to me. But, it's not. It's a Christian ritual carried out in Brazil.

White House Affirms Confidence in Rumsfeld


Just like so many other time, when the President expresses confidence in something, you know the opposite is true. Remember "We're gonna smoke 'em out", "Saddam Hussein has WMD", "There's is no insurgency", "We are making progress in Iraq", "We do not torture", "I don't know Mr. Abramoff", and so on.

Now, they're saying that Rumsfeld has the President's full confidence. He'll be gone by May 1.

Someone Else Dead in Front of TV?

Hard to explain, but a Dutch newspaper website (my previous post) said a 40-year old man was found dead in front of his TV after having been there for three years. The Danish newspaper website BT.dk reports the exact same facts except they say the deceased was a woman. No, I don't think it was two different people. BT.dk also says that neighbors were concerned about her, and went into her apartment to see why she was so behind in her rent. They're just now checking? I think something's rotten in Denmark.

The Neighbors Thought He Was Just Reclusive

British police discovered a 40-year old man dead in his apartment in London back in January. They delayed the announcement until today, because of problems verifying his identity. Okay, so what's unusual about that? Well, they calculate that he died in February of 2003 while sitting in front of his TV set. I thought British TV was actually better than ours. Just imagine how many years earlier he might have died, if he had watched American TV!

Oh, and one other thing...the TV was still on.

Watch Out!


You can't yell "Duck!" around him 'cause he'll pull out a shotgun.

Second Hand Silva

Silva Shahakian, an Iraqi Christian, has accepted the honor of being Miss Iraq in spite of death threats against her predecessor. The Miss Iraq beauty contest held April 9 originally named a different contestant as the winner. Tamar Goregian the first Miss Iraq returned the "crown" four days after being threatened by Islamic militias. The new winner's whereabouts are unknown.


It seems like the militias would appreciate pretty women. I mean just look at some of those pictures of Iraqi women! Not what I'd call centerfold material. I'm just sayin'.

The Bush Doctrine


A song by Randy Newman seems to sum up our President's take on foreign policy. Especially with respect to Iran.


No one likes us
I don't know why.
We may not be perfect
But heaven knows we try.
But all around even our old friends put us down.
Let's drop the big one and see what happens.

We give them money
But are they grateful?
No they're spiteful
And they're hateful.
They don't respect us so let's surprise them;
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them.

Now Asia's crowded
And Europe's too old.
Africa's far too hot,
And Canada's too cold.
And South America stole our name.
Let's drop the big one; there'll be no one left to blame us.

Bridge:
We'll save Australia;
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo.
We'll build an all-American amusement park there;
They've got surfing, too.

Well, boom goes London,
And boom Paris.
More room for you
And more room for me.
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town.
Oh, how peaceful it'll be;
We'll set everybody free;
You'll have Japanese kimonos, baby,
There'll be Italian shoes for me.
They all hate us anyhow,
So let's drop the big one now.
Let's drop the big one now.

All in the Name of World Peace

Porn star Ciccolina has offered herself (carnally) to Osama Bin Laden in the furtherance of world peace. I'm not sure how the two of them could meet up without giving away his location. She sure looks better than those women he's hangin' around with now.
