US delegate: we’ll do what we can to scuttle any measure that come out of the UNESCO Climate Conference. Not surprising, really. The surprising thing is that they’re there at all. Why don’t they just pack up and leave the stage to people who *are* willing to do something? Clearly the US doesn’t want to be there, and increasingly others simply don’t want the Americans around if they’re only there to cause trouble.
Xbox box sold on ebay for over $800.
Xbox box sold on ebay for over $800. For those of you wondering, yes, that’s an empty box that once contained an Xbox 360. People apparently aren’t getting less stupid with the passage of time.
Chinese official: a recent toxic spill could be ‘very harmful to the environment’.
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?
How do you know you have a really bad B.O. problem? If they have to stop a trial because you as a juror are stinking up the joint, it’s time for a scrub. Possibly with steel wool.

Drinking decaf might kill you! Apparently decaffeinated coffee raises your (harmful) LDL levels.

How much did Bavarian police know about the new variants of the Sober virus, and when did they know it? Do Munich cops have a man on the inside?
When you’re working on a case that has no merit, the first step to take is ask for evidence that doesn’t exist.
When you’re working on a case that has no merit, the first step to take is ask for evidence that doesn’t exist. And the SCO crackfest continues…
What was on Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby’s mind about 10 years ago?
What was on Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby’s mind about 10 years ago? According to this book he wrote, it was a putrid mishmash of sex slavery, rape, pedophilia, bestiality, scatology and incest. I honestly had no idea that this is what they meant by “family values”! Seriously though, you have to feel bad for the guy. 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!
