Various and sundry

Definitely a slow news week, so here are some observations about what's passing for news today:


O.J. Simpson. While flipping channels last night heard some network announce they would be interviewing Kato Kaylin (sp?). That says enough for me.

---
There was a rally for Taser Bro down at U of F today. Glad that everyone is now straight that he wasn't a neocon trying to heckle Kerry, he was actually a borderline truther mad at the Democrats for not impeaching the Chimpster and getting us out of Vietnam. Sorry, Iraq. Same instrument. Amazing how far some people can take a comedy act. "They're gonna send me to the government"!

---
We have a developing case of voter stupidity in Memphis, according to our deranged Mayor. Allow me to plug a site (without resorting to a cheap stunt). Teaser--Diebold is mentioned.

---
Ahmadinejihad's request to visit Ground Zero. Well, Iran wasn't officially blamed for 9/11, were they? I say let him go under one condition--he's alone, escorted by about 100 fire fighters, police and victims' family members--no cameras allowed. Maybe his heart will be changed.

---
Today Jesse essentially called Barack an Uncle Tom (without actually using the words, of course) regards the "Jena 6". Remember when Rush Limbaugh came under fire for that parody parody song "Barack the Magic Negro"? It was actually about Al Sharpton making similar charges against Obama. It has now been revealed that Jesse's own son was helping Obama craft his statement, making him too white as well. Doesn't matter anyway. Hillary has already won.

A Tennessee Federal District Judge ruled today that the state's lethal injection process amounts to "cruel and unusual punishment". I'm not exactly gung-ho about the death penalty but calling lethal injection cruel and unusual, a process where they actually swipe your arm with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball before making the injection, is off the charts crazy talk. Oh, and was she? Yep:
Federal Judicial Service:
U. S. District Court, Middle District of Tennessee Nominated by William J. Clinton on September 22, 1998

And finally, a California lawsuit against the big three automakers alleging they are causing global warming by selling automobiles in the most emissions-restricted state in the world was tossed by a judge who should be immediately awarded the medal of freedom by Bush for common sense under fire. Legendary hippie Gerry Brown was shocked and saddened. Maybe now he can sue each individual driver in the state for causing global warming.
