U.S. Fighting Two Wars NOW!
So, I lied. There are three wars going on.
Rita and Katrina are such evil bitches. Are they scorned women hurricanes from Iraq? Boy are they pissed.
Where's Noah and his ark when we need him? Does this mean that Bush now needs to come up with another $200 billion for Rita? That will be $400 Billion and Iraq added to that makes it $600 billion?
The Democrats now have a candidate. Too bad a two term President can't run again. Bush is making out to be a damn good Democrat!

Sony cuts 10,000 jobs. What caused that all of a sudden? It's called "Japanese culture". That's right. Upper management turned their heads away from China and ignored their competition. Japanese have always thought that there's the right way the wrong way and the Japanese way. Rather than admitting that the Chinese were manufacturing better products at lower prices, Sony managers decided to stay the course.
Their way of thinking: "We're Japanese. We don't change because we're the leaders."
Too damn bad. Looks like we need Tom Cruise to bale out the Sony Samarai Warriers before it's too late. Oh, it is too late.

Who's in control of crude oil prices?
_________________________________________________________
The price gap between cable broadband service and phone carriers' digital subscriber lines widened to an all-time high in August.
Cable-modem service was, on average, 75.8 percent more expensive than DSL during the month, up from a 53.3 percent gap in July. While phone carriers cut prices — the average DSL price decreased by 9.2 percent — cable companies raised them.
But who really cares? Use DSL, because all of the newer computers have so much power that you really can't tell the difference between the two types.
_________________________________________________________
Well whoever really controls the oil prices has dropped them for us. At least for a little while. A barrel of crude dropped $1.75 yesterday making it $63.00 a barrel.

Is your Wife or Girlfriend Bi-Sexual?
__________________________________________________________
Did you know that women — particularly those in their late teens and 20s — are experimenting with bisexuality or at least feel more comfortable reporting same-sex encounters? Did you know the CDC spent your tax money to do this study? I bet they had fun doing research.
Wonder if the same researchers will have to do a study on anal sex? That should be fun looking into...so to speak.

Lance Armstrong says he's retiring because he's tired of the BS surrounding accusations that he took drugs to make his bike go faster.
Sometimes you just have to eat a little Crow and we hear he may find some down on Santa Monica Boulevard!

A Japanese woman called in the police after a hit man she paid to kill her lover’s wife failed to carry out the job. She found the guy online and paid him $9,000.00 to spray biological mist all over her husbands body from a motorcycle in a freeway tunnel. Well, she's behind bars for attempted murder and the hit man? He's a cop.

Bush Battered by More Than a Hurricane!
He's tried that Iraq War bandwagon and that hasn't worked, so why not hurricane relief?
Has the man lost it? Look at this: President Bush will call tonight for an unprecedented federal commitment to rebuild New Orleans and other areas obliterated by Hurricane Katrina, putting the United States on pace to spend more in the next year on the storm's aftermath than it has over three years on the Iraq war, according to White House and congressional officials.
Now, if that's not something a Democrat would suggest right? Or am I crazy? Who's smoking the crack pipe in the Bush administration?

What's going on with the airlines? Delta and Northwest Airlines, the nation's No. 3 and No. 4 air carriers, both declared bankruptcy Wednesday as the industry’s struggle with soaring oil prices and low-cost competition came to a dramatic head.
They're blaming years of poor management decisions on the high cost of fuel? Amazing. If you're smart you'll sell your frequent flyers on ebay. Dump them before they become worthless!

If members of media spent money, they would know about this stuff earlier.
Retail sales plunged in August by the largest amount in nearly four years. And these figures don't even include the economic fall out from Hurricane Katrina.
If you're like me, you're not spending as much money right now, because Iraq, the fight on terrorism, high freaking prices on gas, and all of the other factors going on right are scaring the living shit out of you!
The drop in total sales last month was the largest decline since a 2.9 percent plunge in November 2001, the period following the 2001 terrorist attacks.
Meanwhile, how's that war in Iraq working out for you? A dozen explosions ripped through the Iraqi capital Wednesday, killing at least 152 people and wounding 542 in a series of attacks that began with a suicide car bombing that targeted laborers assembled to find work for the day. Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility.
Hey, don't worry though, the U.S. Government says we're winning the war on terrorism. Wouldn't you love to know what their definition of winning is?
Oh this is just great! Delta Air Lines Inc. and Northwest Airlines Corp. are rumored to be considering a move to file for bankruptcy protection. Wonder if the new bankruptcy rules will effect big business like it's going to ruin the individual?
Now ain't this some shit! A German inventor has developed a method to produce crude oil products from waste that he believes can be an answer to the soaring costs of fuel. Christian Koch, an inventor and patent holder of the “KDV 500” that he said produces high quality fuel, from waste products such as paper, rubbish human waste, and plastic.
Good for him. With the high prices of gas scaring the shit out of the American public there will be plenty of free fuel to go around! Gives new meaning to the term: "Hey, who pissed in your gas tank?"
And the Question Of The Day:
Q: What is Bush's position on Roe vs. Wade?
A: He really doesn't care how people get out of New Orleans

Caution, there's DNA in your Spit!
Coastal residents took precautions as Hurricane Ophelia sat nearly stationary off the coast on Monday, its outer bands of rain not quite reaching land.
If locals aren't intelligent to move to higher ground, then they're not that intelligent anyway. If we have another hurricane we're so screwed in this country!

A tape delivered to ABC News in Pakistan this weekend features a masked man making terrorist threats against Los Angeles and Australia.
Can't really tell if the moron is ugly or just a chicken for not showing his face. Nice outfit. The idiot is believed to be Adam Yahiye Gadahn, an American from California purported to be an al-Qaida member and wanted by the FBI. He'll never be identified with that disguise.

Britain’s much abused and derided parking police, known as traffic wardens, have a new weapon in their struggle with irate car drivers: DNA evidence.
British car-parking firm NCP is issuing DNA “spit kits” to its staff after a man who spit on a traffic warden pleaded guilty to assault when his saliva was identified. Can the shit kit be next?

Disneyland in China? Shouldn't that be DISNEYRAND?
It's kind of frightening to think about how vulnerable our country is and how thinly spread our military is.
We have troops in New Orleans, Iraq, North Korea, and other places throughout the world. We're spending billions for the war, and billions for the Katrina disaster.
Hopefully nothing else will happen for awhile because if it does, it's going to be the straw that broke the camel's back. This country won't be able to take on one more catastrophic disaster.
________________
The American Red Cross needs 40,000 additional volunteers in the next few weeks to replace worn-out relief workers helping Hurricane Katrina victims.
“This is a disaster of such scope and such significance that it is not going to go away in a few weeks or a few months,” said Ken Degnan, public affairs specialist for the Red Cross. “We need more people.”
The relief agency is sheltering 160,000 survivors, has provided 6 million meals and is operating 675 shelters in 23 U.S. states, an unprecedented effort that is taxing the 114-year-old organization.
One word of caution. Check out families before you let them stay in your house!

Bush loses popularity! It's pretty much over for our President. But then you reap what you sew as the saying goes.
The president’s popularity and job-approval ratings have dropped across the board. Only 38 percent of Americans approve of the way Bush is doing his job overall, a record-low for this president in the latest NEWSWEEK poll. (Fifty-five percent of Americans disapprove of his overall job performance.) And only 28 percent of Americans say they are “satisfied with the way things are going” in the country, down from 36 percent in August and 46 percent in December, after the president’s re-election. Fully two-thirds of Americans are not satisfied with the direction of the country.

A DisneyLand in Asia? Is that really going to be a good idea? Isn't that an oxymoron? Asians eat mice don't they? Well, at least the new Disneyland will be in Hong Kong. $20 billion dollars to build the thing. Damn, that's a lot of money.
