I am frequently dismayed by various Truthers out there who insist on a Grand Conspiracy theory of the universe; stories about how the moon landing was faked, the world is flat, that 9/11 was an inside...in a sumptuous hotel for the rest of my life, at taxpayer expense. Being that the only two states that I have never been in are Hawaii and Arizona, I can get behind that notion completely. 

I had to look up the meaning of hoon for this one (wild, stupid and reckless driver in a criminal sense) – 79 year old man doing 160 k in a 100k zone Best man claims he was raped by a stripper as part of the show at the bachelor party .

FOIA releases of a ton of emails to and from Governor Sanford of South Carolina’s office from various TV news types (most prominently MEET THE PRESS ) offering all sorts of ‘ we’ll act like we’re questioning...you want , and protect you from the nasties out there ‘ prostitution-masquerading-as-journalism.    In short, they’re a bunch of insider suckups, which doesn’t surprise me but definitely disgusts me.

ORPHAN : My readers quietly passed along some information on this still-yet-to-open movie that I trashed earlier …and a little more information on a personal note. Susan talked to Mere, and she...that lazy, then we’re talking a dog that’s probably going to bomb on DVD. I thought you’d want to know, because a little schadenfreude goes a long way. I hope the producers lose their shirts on it.

New blasphemy criminalization law passed by the Irish Parliament . “Under the changes, the maximum fine for blasphemy will be cut from €100,000 to €25,000.” Gee, thanks.

This weekend, Meredith, her cousin Kay and I got out on a rare outing to a movie, and saw STAR TREK on the big screen; the kids were ‘I-dunno-about-this’ until they got sucked into the story, and they...//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan_(film) http://www.imdb.com/media/rm312118016/tt1148204 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1148204/board/thread/137228941 (spoiler as to who/what this kid really is)

The rise and fall of Fordlandia , Henry Ford’s rubber plantation in Brazil in the 1920s and 1930s. “ Bring Your Gun To Church Day ” in Louisville.  Check your ammo at the door. Cornish Pasty flavored...sale .  (tip to Becky Zoole for this one) The Art and Folklore of Raccoon Dog Testicles , involving “Shall we gather at the river” being turned into a schoolyard song in Japan about that subject.

Rush Limbaugh: Sanford was probably driven in desperation to cheat on his wife and get some small pleasure out of life by Barack Obama’s efforts to destroy America, as in what-the-heck-it’s-all-over... I just had no idea as to what I was doing.    I was only follwing the instructions of Comrade  Jiang Yu Cai as she was directed by the ChiCom Politburo, too, so they’re involved in the heinous plot.

I can’t read the love letters from Governor Sanford to his girlfriend without this going though my head .  Sorry. As one right-wing blog said today: Under different circumstances I think...doing down there for *five* days to say goodbye and break up with her. I will freely admit that I’ve done some dumb things in my time, but I’ve usually not been the dumper in a situation like this.

The 101st Airborne’s commanding General essentially is either ordering or trying to talk his officers and men out of committing suicide . The special edition of Hugo Chavez ‘ Venezuelan weekly variety show of the maximum leader is having a special.  A four day long special on TV .   I intend to contribute by boycotting Citgo gas stations.
