We're going to try and keep the profundity to a minimum today. As to the insanity?
Well, that's another matter altogether.
We've rounded the last turn and are in the home stretch leading to Christmas.
So here are some tidbits from around the world ...and even beyond...(can he really DO that?)
(yahsureoubetcha)
--Britney Spears' SIXTEEN YEAR OLD sister admits to magazine that she is PREGNANT.
I guess stupidity AND making bad choices ARE genetic in nature.
Who'da thunk?
--Ft. Wayne City Council bids farewell of four of it's own.
Good...now we can ALL gang up on Tim Pape and Glynn Hines, because THEIR part of town SUCKS (and that's MY part of town as well)!
--NJ does away with death penalty.
JUST what THAT state needs. Do the words NEWARK, TRENTON and CAMDEN mean anything to you people?
--Congress orders increase in MPG ratings.
Somehow, I can't imagine ANYONE in government giving up those huge, gas-guzzling Tahoes, Suburbans, and Lincolns...can you? But I WILL wager that the average American driver will soon to ONLY be able to buy ethanol-burning, electrically-hybridized pregnant roller skates as personal transportation. Oh, joy.
--FBI lauds 70% success rate with local Bank Heist Task Force.
When I was in school, 70% of ANYTHING was "barely passing" the grade. And if you brought home a report card with a "D" on it...well, the parents didn't go and give you an AWARD for it.
--Milky Way on collision course with Andromeda galaxy.
Don't sell your possessions YET...it's gonna take quite a few HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS. Still...it wouldn't hurt to make some "plans" in the meantime. Guess I still have time to piss a LOT more people off...AND visit Scotland.
--SWAT raid mixup terrifies family of eight.
It's called VERIFY YOUR INFORMANT'S INTEL for a REASON, gang! And this was in Minneapolis. What better way to greet the holidays than with a BOOT on your neck and an MP5 in your face, because someone screwed up BIG TIME? Those cops were damn lucky it wasn't a house where the person first shoots all intruders that kick in the door...and if they survive, shoots them again.
SWAT did apologize (and hopefully buys a new door & some chiropractic aid for the homeowner's neck).
-- "Patron" beats dancer at Showgirls III.
First off, he can't be much of a PATRON if he wails on a dancer. Second, he can't be much of a MAN to wail on a woman. Third...did I mention he was 6'3", 200 lbs...and (obviously low-class) BLACK? Sounds like a "fair fight" there, eh? Listen, Jerkmarkus...you don't like the bump and grind show? Then just f$cking LEAVE, and take your "blacktitude" with you! Stop beating women, go home and beat your meat instead...if you can FIND it, that is. What was I saying about genetics?
--FutureGen coal plant is headed to Illinois.
Wow...a non-polluting coal plant, and Indiana missed THAT boat when she sailed...along with the hundreds of jobs that will be created. But Indiana IS #8 in "holiday cheer". Yeah, Merry Frigging Christmas there, eh?
--Incandescent bulbs to "vanish".
Stock up now, because a mandate set for around 2011 will make Edison's invention as extinct as a passenger pigeon (or a good neighbor on the south side of Ft. Wayne). Just another way the government has decided what YOU "need"...like "digital" broadcasting (and that happens 18 February 2009), rendering ALL your old TVs into nothing more than fancy end tables or paperweights. Welcome to "progress". people.
So there we are...loads of STUFF to make you smile, make you angry, or even...(dare I say it?) make you THINK!
Stay safe out there.
(5 shopping days until Christmas...what ARE you waiting for?)
