Here’s something you should probably read before getting on your next flight that passes through the US. Basically, with the powers the Bush Administration has decided to appropriate to itself, you really have no rights while on US soil… legally you are even declared to be “not within US territory.” As such the US government can, among other things, inflict “gross physical abuse” on your person (there are no formal guarantees against it, merely a limited protection), or deprive you of food, water or sleep. Perhaps you should consider flying through a civilized country like Canada instead.

Gig is up for polygamist whose three — yes, three! — wives show up to wish him well after surgery. Now there’s one guy who likes getting married! As for me personally I prefer to disappoint one woman at a time.

The great American jobs scam. Despite its title, one easily finds that it’s easy for companies not just in the US but in Canada and elsewhere to squeeze subsidies and other concessions out of gullible governments, only to then fail to live up to their promises.

The US state of Kansas has taken the lead in announcing to the world, ‘we’re morons’. I’m sure they’ll try repealing the law of gravity and lowering the boiling point of water next.

The egg song! (Warning: flash with, well, a song) Whoever wrote this really loves his eggs.

DEA capo admits that Emery arrest was political. I’d feel a hell of a lot better if yanks stayed the f*ck out of our politics. Using law enforcement for political ends is something Americans can’t get enough of, but Canadians, not so much. I also think Canadian authorities should develop a backbone and say no to Americans, otherwise ordinary people in Canada may come to feel that the cops no longer act in their interest, but against them.

Here’s a web site that’ll redirect you to a random web site! Just the thing for those times when you want to surf the web, but aren’t sure what sites you want to go to. A wonderful time waster.

Unfortunate childrens’ books. A Flickr photoset that ranges from the just boring (The First Book of Salt) to the unintentionally hilarious (The Cruise of the Happy-Go-Gay).

Fun with Ad Council’s public service announcements. It’s another Photoshop Phriday from Something Awful!

Tony Blair makes it easier to deport foreign-born would-be terrorists. However, with the recent news that the 7/7 terrorists were mostly British-born, is he not setting himself up for a cynical response?
