That's the News...

  • U.S. District Judge John Jones smacked down the wingnuts and their attempts to push religion, under the cloak of "intelligent design", in the public schools. "Any asserted secular purposes by the board are a sham and are merely secondary to a religious objective," he said. Hope this dude has some bodyguards.


  • Tommy "Bugman" DeLay officially filed for re-election even though he is facing criminal charges for money laundering. Life is good when you are a member of the Culture of Corruption. A report on Tommy's lavish lifestyle shows that the Bugman enjoyed "cliff-top Caribbean resorts, golf courses designed by PGA champions and four-star restaurants — all courtesy of donors who bankrolled his political money empire." Go read the story for a complete description on Tommy's fun.


  • Drunken Santas run amok in New Zealand. "The rampage, dubbed Santarchy by local newspapers, began Saturday when the men, wearing ill-fitting Santa costumes, threw beer bottles and urinated on cars from an Auckland overpass, said Auckland Central Police Department spokeswoman Noreen Hegarty." There's a country with the Xmas spirit!


  • Happy Winter Solstice Day! Starting tomorrow, the Sun starts coming back to us. Baseball will be here before you know it.


  • That's all for today...I'm taking a little road trip with my Mom to get away from watching the Senate. Stick to your guns, Harry. I would love to read of a Ted Stevens complete and total melt-down when I come home.
