The News So Far

Okay, we’ve even gotten the attention of the BBC. Are you happy now, Sheriff Joe? Can you just STFU already now? God, I hate this guy. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7950220.stm

Here’s what I don’t get. He lets thousands of warrants go unserved because he’s busy with his publicity stunts, reality shows, and posse runs of pulling people over for the heinous crime of driving while brown. He’s wasted millions in taxpayer dollars through his financial malfeasance, failing to keep his facilities up to code, wrecking vehicles, and failing to keep his inmates from being abused and killed by his personnel. Tent Cities, Chain Gangs, Green Bologna, and Pink Underwear do not make up for being a lousy excuse for a Republican elected official. Why haven’t the fiscal conservatives gotten all outraged over this yet? Or have they sold their souls to the Illegal Immigration Kool-Aid Flavor of the Month club? Where’s Barry Goldwater when you need him?

The $165 million question: http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/90210/Why-can-t-my-dwarf-rabbit-stop-sneezing-

Oh wow, I’m so shocked, the Vatican is contemplating a boycott of the prequel to The DaVinci Code. Because Angels and Demons is SO pro-Catholic. You want people to not see it? Remind them that it’s directed by Opie. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090321/film_nm/us_vatican_1

I can’t get blogger to link this right, but it’s funny if you’re from the greater Michigan area. http://news.yahoo.com/comics/uclickcomics/20090321/cx_crbc_uc/crbc20090321

Fun little piece on Craig Ferguson. It’s you, you’re Scottish!! (And if you don’t know why that is funny, go rent Saving Grace NOW!!!!!!) http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29773198/

Alternative fans… little blurb on Jane’s Addiction’s reunion at SXSW. (Yeah, all four of them, believe it or not.) http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29773198/ Trent’s released a sampler for the upcoming NIN/JA tour of some Nine Inch Nails, some Jane’s Addiction, and some Street Sweeper, you can get that EP for free at http://www.ninja2009.com/.

Now here’s a quandary for you. Does all the attention and aid for Africa help or hinder the development of the African people? One Zambian claims it doesn’t, and she wants Bono and the rest of the world to butt out. Responsible charity: the moral dilemma of the day. http://www.newsweek.com/id/190375

Finally, someone who understands that sex education isn’t just about abstinence or one day about condoms and statistics. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1886558,00.html

YES!!!!!! Ian McKellan will be back as Gandalf. My world is now complete! http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1886459,00.html
