I think this one contains more legitimate news than most of my other posts. Just to prove that there is a lot going on elsewhere in the world. There's a ridiculous story or two, for sure. This wouldn't be an information blast if it didn't have some ridiculous news. Let's get it...
- First things first, apparently Kanye (West) thinks people care about what he says.
- R. Kelly finally goes on trial for peeing on young girls. Only took five years.
- Justice is brought to the people of Sierra Leone as they try to recover from the civil war that inspired a Kanye West song.
- There's a war in Somalia right now with Ethiopia. A Report.
- The Russians are trying to expand their empire. They are already brainwashing the youth. The better question is who will be Chamberlain this time around?
- Gonzales sorta, kinda takes responsibility for creating confusion. Actually, scratch that. That sentence implies that his mea culpa actually makes sense.
- Big Bird will tell you how to get to your grave.
- Karl Rove is standing his ground, digging in with both feet.
- The English are telling the English that the Americans are upset with their prodigal son. America's still nonplussed.
- McClatchy returns to the days of shooting from the hip with this article about campaign books. This article should be reason enough to advocate drinking while reporting.
- This wouldn't be a bad idea in the godless Northeast, but it is a terrible one in the Bible Belt.
- If you think your money is worth nothing in America, you will be high royalty in Zimbabwe.
- Bush proves in this incident that you can take a good ol' boy out the frat, but you can't take the frat out of the good ol' boy.
- Sean Penn is now going to be called a terrorist and supporter of communism. I think he was already, but this is just icing on the cake.
- An AP writer gets intellectually lazy in the stirring paternity case of Scary Spice and Eddie Murphy. This case is so uninteresting that I can't even come up with a witty one-liner for it.
- Only assholes and Classics majors make casual references to the Odyssey. And, no, the two terms are not synonymous.
- See, if prostitution were legal, this man could take this woman to court for failure to provide services requested. From her perspective, the woman wouldn't have had to run away from a crazy guy using a truck as a weapon.
- Women from film then and now. Some of them are quite shocking.
- Nicole Ritchie is untalented. She can't act either.
