Chinese official: a recent toxic spill could be ‘very harmful to the environment’. Thank you Captain Obvious! Once again a government official has shown a keen grasp for the blindingly obvious.

Having bombed al-Jazeera in Afghanistan and Iraq, the US was apparently ready to bomb al-Jazeera in Qatar too.
Having bombed al-Jazeera in Afghanistan and Iraq, the US was apparently ready to bomb al-Jazeera in Qatar too. Qatar is, of course, the main staging area for US forces, and America’s strongest ally, in the area. Apparently Bush was talked out of it by Tony Blair, which may be the one and only time Blair was able to make Bush actually do something.

How do you know you have a really bad B.O. problem?

He’s gone from fantasizing about a girl kept in a cage getting raped by a bear to himself potentially being put in a “cage” and being raped by a big, burly bear in the not-too-distant future… sometimes I think my life hasn’t turned out the way I planned, but at least I’ll never be known as the author of The Apprentice!
The Sony CD rootkit saga continues.
The Sony CD rootkit saga continues. To recap — Sony has so far hacked your computer and made it insecure as soon as you inserted one of their “copy-protected” CDs in your computer.
