In exchange for reducing the power of news organizations, which traditionally sponsor primary debates, to select the moderator, the candidates would have to contribute toward paying down the sizeable debt left behind by the former committee chairman, Michael Steele.
It's a mere $21 million. This is a credible organization to put in charge of the country's finances why now?
While we're on the subject of parties and politics, are you familiar with the Bohemian Grove? It's a site that features pretty prominently in conspiracy theories. It's a idyllic bit of woods in California where very rich and very, very powerful men gather annually to run about drunk and naked. And worship a giant owl. And invent nuclear weapons. Just like summer camp. Not to be outdone, the ladies have created their own version. Silly girls. They've made it all about networking and sharing and supporting each other. They don't even have an owl!
In order to add to its realism, the enormously popular video game series Madden NFL, will now feature concussions. Any players receiving them will be removed from the game. No news yet as to whether or not off field hijinks such as weapons charges, sexual assault, sexual harassment or drug offenses will be included as well.
Oh, almost forgot there's still a war going on. Qaddafi's son, Seif el-Islam has proposed a ceasefire and a gradual move to constitutional democracy under his direction. Sounds lovely...and completely unacceptable to the rebels. Notably, he is not bringing this proposals to the leaders of the rebellion, he's bringing it to the British. Quite obviously, if the allied governments involved in the air strikes agree to a ceasefire, that's simply the end of it. The rebels really won't have any say in the matter as they'll lose really the only thing that's been working for them militarily. Wonderful isn't it? Even though the western powers are only supposed to be protecting civilians, magically we're also, for all attempts and purposes, the de facto diplomatic corps of the revolution. Makes me think of something a wise man once said about "Avoiding foreign entanglements".
Of course, another wise man once said “The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation".
Bottes sur le terrain.
Here however, is a world war I can support.
Certainly it makes much more sense than whatever the hell is going on here.
I hate to say it, but I have to agree with loathsome, ridiculous and malevolent attention whore, Terry Jones:
“Did our action provoke them?” the pastor asked. “Of course. Is it a provocation that can be justified? Is it a provocation that should lead to death? When lawyers provoke me, when banks provoke me, when reporters provoke me, I can’t kill them. That would not fly.”
Words do not kill people. Provocative actions do not kill people. People must be held accountable for their own actions. That said, I'm glad to note that he's practically bankrupt and his looking to sell his ill-named Dove World Outreach Center. Surely, there must be an Imam somewhere that's looking for some property to turn into a mosque...Just a thought.
Maybe this guy?
Kacee Bait: What the frack? One thing that always strikes me about disputes of this sort is that there always seems to be a debate about what Congress did or did not intend with a specific statute. I always wonder: Can't you just ask them? Surely some congressmen that voted for a law must still be around. Why not just give them a call?
Serves them right. I'm not exactly sure what people who paid to watch Charlie Sheen rant were expecting when they decided to enable an apparent psychological breakdown. Turns out that drug problems and emotional issues just aren't that funny on stage.
Mother's Milk.
Reuters offers a brief rundown of Friday's tomfoolery. I have to admit, I initially reported that this was a joke. Evidently, that ridiculous thing is in fact, real. Frankly, I think the joke's on whoever designed that clunker.
Vanity Fair runs down the worst April Fool's jokes here.
Just a few more shopping days til my birthday! I know everyone has probably already gotten me something splendid. But for those of you last minute shoppers, I would happily accept this modest conveyance. A note: It is absolutely necessary that it come equipped with wolf hunting eagles. That should simply go without saying.
Screw that! I want this!
Residents of an English street have been told that they will no longer have mail delivered to their homes because of a rogue Jack Russell terrier. Seems a bit extreme but...Well, I just hate those goddamn dogs. Every other breed is fine by me but those curs are just minute, yapping terrorists. Their brains hold nothing but thoughts of murder.
Sue Bait: Excellent! Now let us never speak of this again.
I see that American Apparel is going bankrupt. Apparently, there isn't much of a market for hideous clothing worn by malnourished teenagers.
Let's end things with Monty Python alum, Michael Palin's tips for diarists.
Speaking of Monty Python, why do their members seem to share names with right wing nut jobs? In addition to the above mentioned Palin, there is of course Terry Jones. Perhaps some family lines are just prone to producing clowns?
