Hanoi Jane Fonda was among celebrities joining in an anti-war demonstration in Washington D.C. today. Naturally seeking to be in the spotlight once again, she said, "I haven't spoken at an anti-war rally in 34 years because of lies about me that were used to hurt the anti-war movement,'' Academy Award-winning actress and fitness guru Fonda told the cheering crowd. Fonda was referring to the criticism that dogged her for decades for speaking against the Vietnam War from Hanoi in 1972 and be...

I always did think that Tigger charactor seemed a bit unstable. He's flouncy, bouncy, full of vim and vigour and loves to leap in your lap, or so the song says. But Winnie the Pooh's Tigger has landed in trouble at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida - he stands accused of hitting a child while posing for a photo. Jerry Monaco of New Hampshire was filming his son Jerry Jnr as he posed with Tigger at the Orlando theme park. But what he saw through the viewfinder was Tiger deliveri...

A man with a badge and a gun says "Give me your wallet!" A Polk County (next county East of me) is up on charges for stealing a man's wallet and taking a few hundred dollars from it before tossing it into a field. According to news reports the deputy has confessed to the crime and even took fellow officers to the field where the wallet was recovered. I guess when the hippies were telling us that we can't trust The Man, they weren't kidding.

It seems that the police in India are heartless bastards. Link HOWRAH: In the wee hours of Wednesday, a newborn died of hunger and cold in a police station in Howrah as cops turned a deaf ear to the wails and continued to grill the hapless mother. The mother was picked up the previous evening for bearing a child out of wedlock. Twenty-one-year-old Soma Giri, a resident of Palpara in Jagachha, Howrah, is in shock. She is also mentally challenged. Her mother Malati, who accompa...

I just saw this story on my local news station. Police arrest this sick bastard in Tampa for torturing and killing three cats with a propane torch. Some people are just sick. Link

I just heard this story on the local news channel. one of our Sheriff's Deputies was out in the woods in a dense and remote area and was bitten by a diamondback rattler. He was carried out by firemen after they finally got to him after the call came in over a cell phone. Luckily there was a judge with him who was able to lead the firemen to the bitten man's location. The deputy is in intensive care but is expected to survive. Nothing exciting but still just not the sort of story one he...

The Welsh government recently ordered a sausage company to rename it's product "Welsh Dragon Sausage" so that it includes the word "pork" so as to not mislead the public about the product. Their reasoning? Because the product does not contain any dragon meat. I have to wonder if they were able to issue this order with a straight face or was there a lot of snickering going on at the time. Link

Today, after a great deal of rejection and arm twisting from members of his own party, Jackass John Kerry finally issued a formal apology for his stupid remark that offended so many American citizens and service members. WASHINGTON — Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, under intense fire from both parties for remarks made Monday in which he suggested U.S. troops are "stuck in Iraq" because of their education, issued an apology Wednesday afternoon for what he called "my poorly stated joke." ...

A 6.6 earthquake rocked Hawaii today. All of the damage and injury reports aren't in yet but it is known that power is out on Oahu. Luckily the quake didn't reult in a tsunami. I wonder how many tourists had a rude awakening about 7:07 am local time this morning? Link

After receiving numerous calls from local citizens about Sheriff's Deputies hanging out in a church parking lot for hours at a time instead of working a news station decided to check it. Over the course of a couple of weeks they staked out the church parking lot with their news cameras. Sure enough, they taped several deputies. sometimes as many as 6 or 7, hanging out in this parking lot shooting the breeze and generally goofing off. One corporal in particular was shown to sit in that par...

The nitwit religious fanatics from the Westboro Baptist church are at it again. These sick, disgusting fake Christians were actually planning to stage a protest at the funerals of the little Amish girls who were recently murdered in their school. This is a sick, hateful, evil group of people. How dare they even consider using the grief of these poor people to further their hateful mockery of Christianity? Radio show host Mike Gallagher actually talked them out this disgusting plan by of...

The whole E Coli spinach thing has been on the news for a while now. Why did a little kid die because of it? What is wrong with people that even though they have been warned about the danger they still feed a possibly infected food to their kid? They should be brought into court on charges for being too damned stupid to have children.

I just caught this story on our local news station. It seems this 75 year old woman had come out of the grocery and was loading her grocery bags into her car when a man snatched her purse and took off running. She chased after him and found where he was hiding. After giving him a serious tongue lashing he handed over the purse. She then felt sorry for him and gave him a couple of bucks. Gutsy lady. I'm just glad she didn't wind up as a murder story instead.

According to a story from a highly reputable news source the current crisis in the Middle East may well be coming to a close due to high rocket fuel prices seen there. Link

For the past 15 months Phoenix, AZ has been terrorized by someone randomly shooting and often killing people. Six people were murdered by these scum, and eighteen others wounded, with a total of a reported 36 shootings. At this point of course they are presumed innocent until proven guilty, but I surely hope they have captured the right guys. I also hope they never get out on the streets again. On my trip out to CA recently I had a stop in Phoenix and was very watchful for anything that lo...
