Could a man that hates international bodies have inadvertently created an international body by his hatred of international bodies? It's actually just crazy enough to make sense. Could all of John Boltons intense sturm und drang concerning the ICC have convinced other countries that it would provide a powerful balancing tool against superpowers?
A woman tries to use a fake $10,000 bill at a bank. It doesn't work. Who's on a $10,000 bill anyways? This guy! That's who!
I'm betting she just needed change for the bus.
I'm feeling ambivalent about this award. Granted, the guys art actually is pretty cool and sure, it is an award focusing on technology, entertainment and design. But still, if the purpose is to improve the general lot of humanity, aren't there more practical ways to go about it?
Republicans continue to rail against federal spending. Once they get into office, they'll be sure to slash expenditures on something or another! Nothing that will bother you, of course. But something. They'll figure it out! I'm sure they will! After all, they would never introduce any sort of reckless, budget busting legislation...
Calculations by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and other independent fiscal experts show that the $1.1 trillion cost over the next 10 years of the Medicare prescription drug program, which the Republican-controlled Congress adopted in 2003, by itself would add more to the deficit than the combined costs of the bailout, the stimulus and the health care law.
Whoopsie!
Local boy makes good. Pittsburgh native and former Archbishop of Washington, DC Donal Wuerl has been designated a Cardinal. Good for him. I'd say as far as princes of the church go, he's a pretty decent human being. Long before the Vatican sex scandal broke, he had instituted an absolute zero-tolerance policy for sexual offenses in the Pittsburgh clergy. Which...frankly just seems like the normal thing to do but I'm just sayin' here.
Anyways, please pray for the Steelers.
Speaking of which, I'm still trying to get my head around the idea of suspensions for helmet to helmet hits. Football is a pretty unique sport in that the players are very, very fast and very, very, very large men. It's a combination that you just don't see in similar games like rugby for example. They're turbo-charged dump trucks. Combine that with the fact that at the end of the day they're being payed to knock other large men over and this sort of thing is just inevitable. I certainly hate to see players get hurt because I love the game so much! But I'm not sure what can be done to limit these sorts of injuries without dramatically changing the nature of the sport. If you're interested, here's a video of Harrisons hit on Massaquoi. Sorry about the quality, it's the best I could find.
Kacee bait.
Ah, I see the President will be stopping by the Daily Show. How lovely, I'm glad that he was able to make time in his busy schedule, what with appearing on Myth Busters and all. Good thing managing the country isn't getting in the way.
I feel like snarking at the President just a bit more so...Mr. Obama, would you please explain why it was left up to a Republican organization to get rid of Don't Ask, Don't Tell?
Any volunteers? Anyone? C'mon, it'll be fun!
Yay alliteration! Hamas hates hip hop. Pretty amazing to read an interview with a 'last' anything, in this case: the last rapper in Gaza.
Some sort of drunken, wallaby death. The English sure do have interesting news.
And finally...
This might be the most awesome thing ever. Or mark the beginning of the end of mankind. Either way, I'm excited!
