Newsblast!

A gay, married canadian couple has been has been denied entry into the United States as a married couple. Well, this sure makes me feel safer We can't have these gays running around married and all, it might offend some backwads hicks in the south who still think it's OK to fuck a cousin.

The US has deployed Patriot missiles in South Korea. I'll give you three guesses as to how happy North Korea is about the situation.

The IMF and World Bank will be meeting in Dubai. Topics of discussion will be the lagging global economy, poverty, reconstructing Iraq, kick-starting the Palestinian economy, and the possibility that the US dollar will crash and burn because our trade deficit is too high and the world economy is too dependent upon Americans living beyond their means. The collaspe of of WTO talks in Mexico will also be high on the agenda, I imagine. Sounds like there's a lot of stuff hanging in the balance there, doesn't it? Let's see if the US media reports about any of it.

Where's all this money from our "growing" economy going if new jobs are being created? To Forbes list of the 400 richest people in America, of course! Their combined imcomes have increased 10%, totalling almost a trillion dollars.

Media Whores Online points out that the Bush "I Lied" story, where he admits that Saddam had no link to 9/11, made it all the way to page 22 in the New York Times, and page 18 in the Washington Post. Maybe MWO and people like me are just super-smart or, but one would figure that when Bush admits that Saddam was not linked to 9/11, along wih him admitting that Iraq has no WMDs, THIS WOULD BE FRONT PAGE NEWS ON EVERY PAPER IN THE COUNTRY SINCE THIS WAS THE BASIS FOR GOING TO WAR. Honest to fuck, this is common fucking sense. But nope, some major media outlets buried the story. Somebody tell me again that the media is liberal and I'll smack you upside the head.

PSA: American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund needs donations, especially after Hurricane Oh Shit!, I mean, Isabel. Salvation Army islooking for donations, too.

Whenever Tom Delay opens his mouth, something stupid is sure to come flying out. Here are his comments in reply to Senator Kennedy's criicism of Bush's war: "I call on all the vociferous Democrat critics, from Kerry to Dean and from Daschle to Pelosi, to have the courage to tell their hero Ted Kennedy that he went too far. Are they leaders or are they just liberal pundits?" It gets worse, "It's disturbing that Democrats have spewed more hateful rhetoric at President Bush then they ever did at Saddam Hussein." You know, it's great a high ranking Republican leader will combat what he considers to be "hateful rhetoric" with more hateful rhetoric, and we do not see one counterpoint to what Kennedy said. Great way to argue, jackass. Will you next ask Kennedy if he wants to settle this on the playground?
