Yeah, right... head on over to The Smoking Gun to see what an Al Qaeda torture manual contains. (Warning: graphic images.)

Al Qaeda Torture Manual

Now we have Terry Moran of ABC News saying the we shouldn't feel to sorry for the Duke accusers because they are white and rich, so they'll bounce back just fine. How vile and disgusting a statement is that? What if they HADN'T been wealthy???

They'd be sitting in jail right now, that's what. What a freaking stupid, vile thing to say.

And then we have Nancy Grace another vile spewer of tabloid TV journalism...

Freaking hilarious.

She was talking about Frenchie Davis being kicked off the show in a previous season because topless photos of her emerged while Antonella Barba is still competing despite the racy photos of her that have been all over the internet. According to Rosie, not only was Frenchie kicked off the show because she's black, but ALSO because she was overweight.

Um, Rosie.... can you say Fantasia Barrino? Winner of the contest three seasons ago? Fantasia wasn't extremely TAN, she's black. How about Lakisha Jones, the overweight contestant this year with an AMAZING voice who will no doubt finish in the top two or three? Then there's Chris Sligh, overweight as well but one of the top three singers on the guy's side.

I don't know why I'm even wasting time on this, I'm just feeding into the Rosie-publicity-monster. She's incapable of staying out of the limelight for more than a couple of weeks at a time. I'm sure our fine psychiatric community will come up with "disease" to explain it, perhaps related to ADD or ADHD.

As I pull up in traffic I see one little girl in the back seat (with the window open) just bouncing all over the place with no seat belt on. So I while the cars are moving slowly I catch her eye, grab my seat belt and say: "You should put your seat belt on."

Eventually I have to get on the other side of the Expedition to make a turn, and as I pass it I see the driver's window down and the dad yelling at me and making gestures, and they weren't gestures of thanks.

He's riding around with a seven year old in the back set with an open window and no seat belt and he's yelling at ME.

Freaking idiot.

It takes me a HUGE amount of self-control to not send off a final email or phone call saying "You know what? I'm done. See ya around." I just tend to wonder what the deal is... did I do something to annoy somebody (can't wait for the comments on THAT one), or is it some wierd personality issue on the side of the person I've contacted?

Why do I say that? Because since I titled it Justice League: Soft Core Porn For Kids? (due to my feelings on the subject, read the article for details) the page has received tons of traffic. Not from concerned parents, but from sick bastards searching for kiddie porn.

In my opinion, a major strike against the "genetic fat" argument is that obesity levels were FAR lower up until 40 years ago than they are today. Add to that the fact that the percentage of people who are overweight in the United States is far greater than the number in other countries.

So what people who cling to the "it's not my fault" argument are saying is that there has been some wierd genetic mutation that has taken place ONLY within the last 40 years and ONLY within the United States.

Wow... I'll bet it was the same people in the U.S. government who brought down the WTC that are behind this insidious conspiracy!!!

The total amount of extra gasoline burned due to weight gain since 1960 is 938 MILLION gallons.

According to the Sierra Club, the average automobile emits 6 tons of carbon dioxide pollution every year, so every car driven by an obese person puts approximately an extra 360 pounds of pollution into the air. If 2/3 of the U.S. population is obese that comes to an extra 37,000 tons of additional emissons being put into the air, and if that doesn't add to global warming, I don't know what does.

Freaking penguins.

Everywhere.

American culture has reached penguin saturation. I cannot turn around without finding a stinking penguin staring me in the face. They're in commercials, they're in movies, cereal boxes, juice containers, magazines.... just everywhere, and I've had it.

Corporate America, can you please find some NEW cute thing to use as your basis for the next advertising fad? I'm pretty sure that when I'm hitting the limit a lot of other people must be hitting it as well.

You can find a local news story with a link to the video here.

The two boys, who like like they are MAYBE 10 years old, tops, wrestle, punch and basically brawl while a bunch of adults are standing around encouraging them to beat on each other and keep going. The video is hard to watch, and basically made my blood boil.

THIS kind of behavior from adults who are supposed to be role models is the reason that the next generation grows up to be poor, violent and utterly under-educated. So don't you DARE try to tell me that this is MY (middle class, conservative, white America's) fault.

And I don't care how uneducated you are... anyone who views that either in person or on video and is not mentally retarded KNOWS it's WRONG.

F***ing morons (the adults, that is).

Can you imagine how different things would be right now if somehow (and legitimately) the Republicans had won? HOLY cow what a monster outcry there would be!!!!

What about all that "voter suppression"? Hmm? Guess not.

At least Republicans know how to lose gracefully. No idiotic recount tirades and nary a lawsuit to be seen, which is exactly the opposite of what would have happened had the Dems not won control.

Just a little observation as yesterday I scanned a bunch of news aggregator sites for any new news having to do with voting machine-related stories. :-)

What's the connection between 7-11, Citgo, and Hugo Chavez? Only that Citgo is wholly owned by Petrleos de Venezuela, S.A., the national oil company of... Venezuela.

Props to 7-11 for doing the right thing.

Now if we can only completely disconnect from Middle Eastern oil and concentrate on U.S. oil drilling and oil shale production, we'd be stylin'.

On the heels of the Pope's comments concerning the violent aspects of Islam's founding (forced conversion or death), Muslims across the Middle East have expressed outrage that he would falsely accuse "The religion of peace" of such things by:

- Burning the Pope in effigy.
- Burning 7 Christian churches to the ground.
- Murdering a Catholic nun.
- Threatening that this will lead to war.

If I didn't know better, I'd think this came from one of the sarcastic articles at TheOnion.com or a Saturday Night Live skit, but sadly (or is that frighteningly?) it's for real.
