In Other News...
A Moslem author in Spain has written an instructive book on how to beat your wife without leaving any pesky, questionable marks on her body. I'm glad to say that a Spanish judge has issues with that. MIT is working on a new laptop computer that will cost. one hundred bucks. It has a gig of flash memory and a hand-crank to make it's own electricity, should it need to do so. No, this doesn't appear to be a spoof. I love it when kids show ingenuity and it pays off. This kid is selling the pixels on his homepage for a dollar each. He hopes to sell a million of 'em. Good luck, kid. Wanna buy US Postage Stamps with Muppets on them? They're on the way. I'm a bit of an old fogy on this issue; I think that postage stamps should only feature portraits of important dead people... but what do I know. The spineless Michigan slug, Michael Moore, is stirring the muck again. The CBC is showing his schlockumentary Bowling for Columbine, and he's protesting. He doesn't want the Canadian network to show the film until they settle with their striking employees. Moore has accused the CBC of "acting like an American Corporation". Good Job, Mike, you steaming pile of fecal matter. For a few minutes there, we'd come close to forgetting how much you hate all things American. I do make some effort to avoid blogging about Cindy Sheehan, if only because typing her name makes me want to puke... but I thought that this was interesting. Ya know how Cindy loves to talk about what a criminal Dubya is? Well, I guess it takes one to know one. Cindy Sheehan is a criminal herself, having not paid the taxes on her home from '96 to '98. Looks like Cindy's grudges against authority long predate the honest and heroic death of her son. Why doesn't that surprise me? This is sickening. This news story features a picture, too, so consider yourself warned. Authorities in Colombia have found three human fetuses stored inside religious statues. They were being smuggled into America, and the authorities believe they were going to be used in some sort of satanic ritual. God help us all. I just love the liberal screed that passes for a local newspaper in this area. The Roanoke Times sinks to new lows daily, so after a while, you actually lose interest... but today's editorial is very literally laughable. That is to say, it made me laugh out loud. Here's the gist: The Roanoke Times believes that if recently indicted House Majority Leader Tom Delay didn't actually break the law, then the law should be changed so that whatever he can be shown to have done becomes a criminal offense. Yep, you read that right. They're so bloodthirsty for Delay, they want the law changed to guaran-damn-tee that he's a criminal:
...if DeLay is not guilty of something, it says more about the state of laws governing political corruption in this nation than DeLay's purity... Among the things DeLay has done that ought to be against the law.....yadda, yadda, yadda
And they want their readers to take them seriously.
