Police: Man beheads tame hotel duck

to me "Behead" implies that some sort of weapon was used...

Not so!

this ass RIPPED the ducks head off during a drinking binge.

Some people suck!

Cheney mulled Israeli strike on Iran: Newsweek

This administration is screwed up!!!

Cheney wanted the Israelis to strike Iran...so that Iran would retaliate and then the US could in turn fire on Iran...

If you need to worry about the opinion polls when going to war then don't do it...

If you need to go to war, then to hell with public opinion and do it. Go in and get the job done, kill who you have to kill and never put your own soldiers/people at risk over political agendas...if you can't live with that never pull the trigger.

I'd like to see a president or vice president with a 20 year old kid and a draft (that isn't fixed)...then we would see some different policy.

DOPES!

Neptune discovered 161 years ago today

In case you had any nagging questions about Neptune...here you go!

Lexus LS Hybrid...

So, now I am going to add another category of posts...LYING COMPANIES...this goes right up there with Dumb-Ass Celebrities

I am watching TV and I see a commercial for the new 2008 Lexus LS Hybrid...the first thing they say is 438 horsepower...

I sit back and actually watch a commercial...that's pretty impressive. The one drawback about hybrids that everyone always talks about is the power...could they have solved the problem?????

So...Lexus proceeds to take 30 seconds of my life plus another 5 minutes on the internet to look up the vehicle.

Well, this piece of crap does have 438 horsepower...300+ for the gas engine and 100+ for the electric...both engines don't work at the same time!!!

LIARS.

If a company can lie this much in a 30 second commercial, imagine what they will do when they really have time.

I have just excluded Lexus from my buying plans!

Eleven Iraqis arrested over killing of tribal chief

Kill American Soldiers, Women and Children...NO PROBLEM

Kill and Iraqi politician and people finally get arrested.

Dopes...

Giants won't bring Bonds back in 2008

Interesting call....

I wonder where he ends up...but I can't imagine him remaining in the National League...I am sure a DH spot will open up for him somewhere...

Somewhere that wants to see 3000 hits and the final HR for the record???

Hopefully it won't be the Yankees...they already sell out every night and will do so again next year as the final year in the "Stadium" comes about.

'Hobbit' wrists 'were primitive'

More evidence to suggest that the "Hobbits" found in Indonesia are a distinct race from Homo Sapiens...

Very cool.

More and more mythology gets proven to be in some basis of fact every day...

Maybe giants next????

NASA probe may have found Martian caves

Very cool.

Implications of this can shape our next missions to Mars (manned and unmanned).

Bush: Kids' health care will get vetoed

The people have clearly voted over the years that federalized healthcare is not wanted...so why try and "Back-door" the policies...

Just because it doesn't happen in one bill doesn't mean it won't happen.

Who will pay for this??? The Middle class through unfunded mandates that flow from the Federal to the State to the local municipality...

While I think health care is a necessity...I can't afford more of the tab...

Iran warns West against attack

What a mess...these people are nuts.

In some ways I can't wait for the oil to run out...Then we can leave this part of the world to it's insignificance...

Fashion chain Zara withdraws swastika handbag

Wow...and in a quality control "Oops" on the order of Mattel...Indian made bags sold at the store had swastikas all over the bags...

In defense of Zara (excluding incompetence and stupidity)...the swastika in eastern religions has quite a different meaning that what it has become in the past 90 years...

Still horribly stupid...but not quite a conspiracy...

Irish defence forces eyed UFOs for 37 years

Pretty cool article...

At some point the US should just let everyone know what it doesn't know.

Unidentified doesn't have to mean alien...it can mean exactly what the definition stands for...

Green eggs and ham!

A child molester is suing the department of corrections for $10MM because he doesn't like his diet!

I think that if it were up to me...child molesters would not need to worry about a diet...

But either way, it's nice to see a judge that has some common sense...

Mattel apologizes to China over recalls

Why are they apologizing to China and not the american people???

This company is a total disappointment to me...I have no trust in a company that does no quality control, pays off people to keep quiet when the toys hurt their children and put profits over their customers.

Have fun with this public relations debacle...

And I'm still not letting china off the hook...they know these are children's toys and there is still lead in the paint!!!!

Any is too much!

MIT coed with fake bomb 'art' arrested

One of our future's "Best and Brightest" goes to an airport wearing a computer circuit board and wiring on her sweatshirt...

What a dope!!!

She'll probably sue and win some money or get some free publicity...I can't imagine that people can be that stupid...but I am always proven wrong

Britney Spears charged with hit-and-run in L.A.

Not really news...but I am starting a new category of posts called "Dumb-Ass Celebrities"

I'll go back and add all the OJ posts as well!

Man Nearly Dies After Putting Pet Rattlesnake Down Throat

Too bad he lived...he'll probably add stupid kids to the gene pool...

Clinton sees lessons in past failure

I keep hearing that the best indicator of future success/failure is based on past success/failure...

Nuff said.

Manilow sparks political feud with TV show

I know this story is a few days old...but he's a jerk...plus his music sucks!

Anyone that can't talk to someone that has different views is an ignorant Piece of S---!

What a coward.

Hey Barry, if your beliefs are so strong they should be able to hold up to conversation on a "hard hitting" tv show like the View!

Jerk!

DID I SAY YOUR MUSIC SUCKS!

Prosecutors file charges against O.J.

Seven felonies including kidnapping...

I have a question for you lawyers out there....one of the alleged victims of the affair suffered a heart attack after an interview of the "Event"...

If this guy dies and one of the prosecutors can tie the heart attack to the break-in can these guys get charged with murder.

Eyes Can't Resist Beautiful People

That's what I said!

Peruvians get sick from apparent meteorite crater

All this talk about bird flu and it might just be a meteorite that starts a pandemic!

interesting story

Student arrested, Tasered at Kerry event

Not that I mind anyone picking on Kerry...but this looks like a setup to me.

This kid instigated the whole thing and never shut up...he deserves what he got...

that being said, one of the guards was smiling as he tasered him...that's probably not a standard operating procedure when subduing a person.

Market soars as Fed cuts interest rate

when the Fed has to cut this drastically...they are compensating for some bad decisions over the past year...

Not that I mind...I need to refinance!

Dole recalls bagged salads due to E. coli

Another recall...this time not related to China

Chernobyl to be covered in steel

why did this take 21 years?????

Its not like this is new technology...

Russia has been too busy sending flags to the north pole, flying too close to Norway's borders with it's bombers and killing ex spies...

They don't seem to care too much for it's citizens....

Clinton unveils mandatory health care insurance plan

A great quote from Edwards in regards to Clinton's health plan..."I'm glad that, today, the architect of the 1993 plan has another care proposal -- and if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then I'm flattered," said Edwards, a former U.S. senator from North Carolina. "The lesson Senator Clinton seems to have learned from her experience with health care is, 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.' I learned a very different lesson from decades of fighting powerful interests -- you can never join 'em, you just have to beat 'em."

I can't afford anymore taxes...

EBay stops sale of Belgium

LOL

It got bids for 10MM euros...

I wonder if this were for France...if anyone would have bid????

Not ME!!!

Neb. state senator sues God in protest

This guy is making a point on taxpayer dollars.

Why are people like this "successful" and why do people continue to vote them into office.

Sickening...

Microsoft suffers decisive EU antitrust defeat

I'm not a big fan of Microsoft...but this sounds like protectionism to me.

If Microsoft was a European company this wouldn't be an issue...

might as well compare the EU to Chavez in Venezuela who is "Nationalizing" foreign owned oil companies...

National Play-doh day - September 16th???

Who Knew!!!

too bad I only realized this at 5:00 EST...

Bummer!

Minot Air Force Base Airman Dies on Leave

For those Conspiracy Theorists out there...an interesting coincidence...this 20 year old was involved in the "mishap" a few weeks where nukes were mistakenly flown across the US...

Not too often that 20 year olds die...much less so soon after an incident...

In my opinion...not much here...not too many 20 year olds have access to nukes...at least I hope not!

Can you make too many digital memories?

what a great article...I can remember occasions of being upset that I couldn't get that "great" picture that I totally missed the moment...

well worth the read.

Civil U.S. presidential race not so good for voters

So says the headline...but I don't agree...

people need to learn to get their point across without demeaning opposing points of view...

When candidates can't discuss things without getting nasty...it shows we are not too far from those radicals we like to pick on for not having any tolerance for others...

O.J. Simpson arrested in Vegas robbery

what a dope...

China cigarette packs to get skull health warnings

along with that there will be pictures of blackened lungs and diseased lungs...

why not put the chemical symbol for Lead (Pb) on the pack...lead will undoubtedly end up in the cigarettes as well as tobacco...no wait...sorry...I take that back...China only dumps lead into toys that are exported from the country...

Bill Belichick and Eric Mangini's childish spat...

A great article by Michael Silver at Yahoo Sports in regards to Slick Willy Belichick and Eric "Mangenius"...both dopes...this article provides the history for the fitting term.

Five must-do's when a loved one is ill

after spending the weekend in the ER for my daughter (who is fine now...) I found this article and think it's a great read...

Another thing that I wold like to add is #6...Take care of yourself...you can't help your loved one if you get sick yourself.

South Korea plans to launch satellite

I think anytime a country expands space exploration is a great thing...

that being said, once a country decides that it is time to build a space station instead of paying for a ride on someone else's rockets...it means that they have something they want to get into space without anyone else knowing what it is...

Police: Man sets off his own booby trap

in an attempt to stop burglars from breaking into his house unobstructed...this dope blew up his own booby trap.

What a jerk...soon...anyone that wants to will be able to break into his house because he won't be home...He'll be in JAIL!!!

that being said, I think the local police need to do some introspection...if someone feels that they have no choice but to set booby traps in their yard to stop thieves...maybe the police aren't doing as well as they should at the "Protect and Serve" piece of their job description!

ROBOT MAKER BUILDS ARTIFICIAL BOY

Yet another great post over at Musings of a Whiskey Rebel.

Cool stuff!

Hopefully they won't be made in China!

Belichick looks to move past spy scandal

I'm sure he is looking to move past this...

He's a cheater!

Who else on his team knew?

is Mangini not complaining because that would make him a hyporcrite?

How many players knew.

At least in this instance Goodell had rules in place to be able to punish the cheater...not like Buddie boy Selig who refused to put rules in place that would call steroid use and HGH a "foul" in baseball.

You will never stop this kind of behavior, but it is how an organization handles it after the fact that fouls their reputation or redeems them in the eye of the consumer.

Kudos to Goodell and his heavy hand!!! At least I can look at my kids and say that if you do something wrong you will have consequences...can't say that about baseball (at least you couldn't until Congress forced them to make rule changes)...which is why I say DOWN WITH SELIG!

Northwest Passage Opens Up

Great news for shipping...bad news for the environment...

Conservative estimates had the nortwest passage opening up due to ice melt anywhere from 2012 to 2080...

No wonder Russia has been getting gung-ho about claiming territory in the arctic circle!!!

Gingrich: Republicans need "clean break" from Bush

I don't know of many other Republicans that can say this and have his/her party listen to them.

I know I have said it and gotten the "Gas Face" quite a few times...

Great article.

Simpson named suspect in casino break-in

he didn't go to jail for "allegedly" killing his wife and her "Friend" but he will go to jail for this.

What a dope...too bad he already had kids...the stupid genes have been added to the pool.

It's such a sad story and keeps getting worse...

It appears that due to the "Subversive" nature of Ten Minute Misconduct, we have been banned in China!!!!

hehehehe...really!...but not really...

LOL

Getting Oxygen from a rock...

no real article here...just a thought.

I was watching the science channel ...and the discussion was a "breathtaking" commentary on how to get oxygen from a rock and the difficulty of such...

My first thought was the producers of the show should just interview Hillary Clinton...she can extract every last tax dollar from her constiuents in NY with scientific precision...she can definitely add insight into extracting every last bit out of something...

hehehehehe...I make myself laugh...I guess that is all that matters! RIGHT?????

MUSINGS OF A WHISKEY REBEL: AN ODE TO AMERICA

Posts like this get me through the day and give me hope!

That's why I stop by this blog every chance I get.

Great Post Ginny!

Hilarious...but not too surprising...

Just like cigarettes don't cause cancer!

Almanac calls for warmer weather in 2008

Brilliant!!! Let me go out and get a copy of this rag so that they can expound on global warming!!!

Dopes!

Health care premiums rise 6.1 percent

Yippie!!!!

Only 6.1%!!! What a windfall I am going to have this year...

with the money I will be able to save after my health insurance, gas, home utilities and real estate taxes...I'll be able to go to the movies BY MYSELF!

Officials: Bush to announce troop cut

it's about time!!!

One thing that REALLY scares me though is the comment that Bush was "rehearsing and polishing" his speach...I had always just assumed that he winged all his speeches because of his endless stupid comments...Nope!!! Not So!!!! He actually planned to say all those stupid things he's said in the past!!!

Woman allegedly shoots cheating husband

why is this woman out on bail???

I understand that he's a ass...but come on!?!?!?!?!?!

She not only shot him, but reloaded the shotgun and shot him again.

One may be rage...but the other is premeditated!!!

If this were a man that shot the woman he would be in jail getting sold for a pack of smokes by his cell mate...

where is the parity in punishment these days???

Gifted research parrot Alex found dead

Maguire Swings Toward Robotech Role

Finally!

What a great storyline this is...classic Sci-Fi...

I can't wait to see it on the big screen...let's hope it's soon!

Test-drive a Nissan, win a lead-laced mug

Apparently China has found a way to dispose of it's industrial waste...

Incorporate it into exports of children's toys and eating utensils...

It's happened so often...can they all be mistakes???

U.S. Jobs Fall for First Time in Four Years

Why is this data a surprise to anyone in the government...it's like looking at your clock at 11:00 at night and being surprised it's dark out!

I could have just added the last 10 companies that announced job cuts just in the mortgage industry and could have come up with 100k losses...and that doesn't include construction, real estate, home improvement etc.

Besides that the unemployment percentage is a farce...the only reason that the percentage stays the same is because when people "Stop" looking they are no longer included in the job.

I'd be interested to see a monthly comparison that includes unemployed people under the standard definition along with people that are on welfare...

CIA chief defends rendition and detention policies

It is a fine line where we are the "Land of the Free" but do things like this without due process.

That being said, I am all for it.

When our own virtues are used against us to kill innocent people...I have no problem getting to the information needed to protect our country

The CIA just better be sure and be able to prove guilt after the fact...

Woman accused of setting fire over keys

Yet another story of a Stupid and Horrible person....

She set fire to her neighbor's house because she thought they stole her keys...only to find her keys in her OWN POCKET after torching the house.

This woman needs a very long punishment

Huckabee vs Paul...

What a great quote by Huckabee during last night's Republican debate...

"If we make a mistake, we make it as one country," said Huckabee to huge roars of applause. "Even if we lose elections we should not lose our honor and that is more important than the Republican party."

Now that is amazing...A politician that "Gets" it...

Norway, Britain monitor Russian bombers

For whatever reason...Russia seems to want to bring things back into the Cold War era...

strangely enough...an article I posted about Fred Thompson last night compared him to Ronald Reagan...

The more things change...the more things stay the same...

New mortgage foreclosures set record

According to the Feds...there is no big problem with the sub-prime fallout...

tell all those people losing their houses...

Global warming may pose threat to heart

Oh great!!!

Kazakhstan suspends Proton satellite launches from Baikonur

Any stoppage in space exploration is bad news...no matter what country...

Israeli planes bomb Syrian targets: Syrian agency

I the borders of my country had a boundary with another that was supplying terrorists with weapons and safe haven to shoot missles into my country...

I would have bombed them a long time ago.

They get what they deserve...I actually hand it to Israel for taking to long to do what they did...

Rep. Thompson enters race for president

all I can say is it's about time...we have been hearing about this for months...

Now we can start to find out what he stands for...

U.S. bomber mistakenly flies with nuclear weapons

There are so many things wrong with this story...

Stories like this are the basis for my "Doom and Gloom" demeanor...

Technology/science advances mixed with stupidity like this and a little bad luck and the world ends...

Former diplomats offer candidates advice

Some people say that the people surrounding a leader make the leader as good as he/she could be or as bad as he/she could be...

I tend to agree.

Quality leaders will usually attract quality advisors...

I think a lot can be said about this election by who is willing to stand by a candidate...

This is a great article for getting insight into that...

Protest Greets the Opening of a Muslim School in New York

All I can say about this is GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Only in New York...In the city where the worst Terror attack in our country's history took place does a Muslim public school open...

Two amazing things happened here that won't happen in most other countries in the world...

The right to open up a school that teaches what is currently an "Unpopular" religion due to the terrorism links to radical islam....and the right to protest something that citizens have a problem with...

One problem I do have with this school is that nowhere in the NYC school district is catholic or jewish cultures mandatory courses like Muslim culture is at this school...

Another problem is that this is at taxpayer expense...teaching tolerance of other religions is a great idea and worth every penny...but it shouldn't be on the taxpayer dime unless of course someone can go to school funded by public dollars and say a catholic or hebrew prayer without getting suspended!

Even 40 years later CIA briefings to stay secret

makes perfect sense...we wouldn't want anyone to think that the government lies to us...

MUSINGS OF A WHISKEY REBEL: HOW IS THE TALIBAN GETTING CHINESE WEAPONS?

Great article at Whiskey Rebel...thanks for the great stuff Ginny...

All I can say is BOO-Hiss on China...

One year anniversary of the Croc Hunter's death

It's one year but now we have Bindi...

It was sunny and 80 degrees here on Sunday but my son sat inside watching Bindi narrate old Croc Hunter shows of her father...

he was mesmerized...

Clinton promises to save Social Security

Saying this sure does get votes...unless of course you ask her to explain how she is going to do it...

I am already paying 15k in real estate taxes in NY...for a VERY modest home...I don't think I can take much more of Hillary's goodwill towards her "Fellow" New Yorkers...much less towards the rest of America!

Strahan rejoins Giants for 1st practice

If I were the owner of the Giants...I would have said "stay home we don't need you on our TEAM!"

This is a dysfunctional team with a dysfunctional owner and a dysfunctional coach...

So sad...

China rejects charge it hacked Pentagon computers

of course they did...

Another China Recall planned by Mattel

I'm all for hammering the Chinese about product recalls...they seem to have found a way to export their contaminated waste materials....by shipping them to the US...

But Mattel should have been sampling the products for quality...as well as every retailer that sold them.

I have no doubt that Mattel overlooked the issue in light of profits and should be ashamed of themselves.

If my daughter had any of these toys and had lead poisoning...I would sue everyone involved in the supply chain...the manufacturer, the wholesaler, the retailer, the shipper and even customs because the product didn't match the shipping notices.

People are horrible and putting our children at risk is one of the worst offenses of all.

BOYCOTT CHINA and now MATTEL as well!!!

Red Sox rookie Buchholz no-hits Orioles

Now...I have to say, one of the teams I like the least in baseball is the Red Sox...but this is pretty cool.

Red Sox rookie Bucholz pitches a no-hitter in only his second start!

A pretty amazing feat...consider all the rookies that have ever pitched...he's only the 17th to pitch a no-hitter as a rookie.

Leonardo's painting technique secrets uncovered

Sometimes I love science...this is very cool.

Apparently da Vinci mixed his colors right on the canvas...

Chupacabra in Texas???

this woman found a body of a mysterious animal and froze the head...

who knows?

Wife of murderer faces lawsuit

This P-O-S lied to her husband about the neighbor molesting their two year old daughter...

the Father (husband) went to the neighbor and stabbed him to death...

You have to be kidding me??????

People suck.

I bet she was having an affair with the neighbor...he called it off or threatened to expose it.

She won't get in trouble (with the exception of the lawsuit)...will be able to divorce her husband who will be in jail and take everything he has...and she ruined two families.

They should take that kid away from her.

I am disgusted thinking about this!!!

What makes people act the way they do?

With all the recalls associated with Chinese products, do you look at the label now to see where a product is made?

NEW POLL: What percentage of baseball players were taking steriods, HGH or other enhancing drugs (like amphetamines) before the rules changes instituted by MLB?

Which would you prefer?

You're at the Final table of the WSOP. You get dealt 2 Aces. What do you do?
