Not Necessarily Interesting News

Frustrated with the way Hollywood thinks that acting in a war movie or playing the president on TV makes you an expert on geopolitical policy Mark Fleming of California started Hollywood Halfwits. It exposes the stupidity of Hollywood and the actors speaking like they know all about war. My favorite story is about Janeane Garofalo saying it wasn’t hip to protest against Clinton, showing that this is really all about protesting Bush. Read the site for more examples of stupidity.

They seem to be all the rage in Japan right now. See through skirts. Well, not really. They are skirts witha rpint on them that makes it seem like they are transparent. What will they think of next?

Looks like everyone’s most despised pitchman is going to jail. It appears he was busted yeterday for marijuana possession. I pray he gets the death penalty.

Leave it to California to fuck up things for the military. Special forces personel like to purchase personal weapons when they ship out to either augment or upgrade their issued arms. Ofen what they can buy on the prvate market is better then what they are issued. Well, in California they aren’t able to buy those upgraded weapons because of stupid laws. Even if they could they’d have to deal with lower capacity magazines of 10 rounds because any magazine capacity greater than that is illegal in the People’s Republic of Kalifornia.
Way to go California, hope you feel good about inhibiting our military to fight with the best tools possible.

A Portland, OR ambulance company has a new ambulance. It’s rated to carry patients up to 1/2 ton in size. 1/2 ton!?! That’s 1000lbs! My god, I guess they grow ’em pretty big in Oregon, don’t they? the new rig has specials ramps, gurneys, and a winch to pull the heavy load into the back. Amazing…

According to CNN the Al Qaeda is getting smarter. According to their webpage posted at 2003-02-08 00:00, ‘Al Qaeda interested in chemical, radiological, bilogical attacks’. what exactly is a bilogcal attack? Do they try to confuse their enemy with two seperate lines of thinking? Kind of a Chewbacca defense?

Don’t you feel bad? Poor Michael Jackson thinks his recent interview made him look like a freak. Well, MJ, news flash: You are a freak. Most people don’t think it’s normal to sleep with 12 year old boys, dress your kids in veils whereever they go, name their kids Prince Michael I and Prince Michael II(let alone Blanket?) Also, do you really think anyone believes you only had 2 surgeries on your face and you didn’t get your skin bleached? C’mon, you wanna be a white guy, admit it.

America: The only country where a poor black kid can grow up to become a rich white girl.

I didn’t see this one reported in the news but it looks like the judge in the case of the fat teens suing McDonalds for making them fat threw the case out. In his ruling he said that getting fat from eating fast food for every meal is ‘a danger that is not within the common knowledge of consumers.’ Ok, who let a judge with some freakin’ sense on the bench?

Now I agree the shuttle accident was tragic but even more tragic is the stupidity of the news stations reporting the accident. CNN ran a banner that the shuttle was travelling at 18 times the speed of light during reentry. No wonder it broke up, it was travelling nearly 670 million MPH when it entered the earth’s atmosphere. Also, the reporters asking if it could be a terrorist incident. Well, yeah, I guess so. If they’ve developed a SAM that can reach 40 miles up and hit something doing 12,000 MPH. Farther than anything in the US arsenal.
