- About four dozen Mexicans who were being held in China on account of flu fears have been returned to their home country. None of the quarantined citizens showed any symptoms of having the flu, but Chinese authorities just wanted to be “safe” (= “dicks”). [Reuters]
- Arlen Specter’s clever plan to waltz back into re-election by changing parties may be foiled if the popular Republican Tom Ridge decides to run against him. [Washington Post]
- Stocks went up yesterday, so it’s pretty much guaranteed that they will sink again today, prompting more speculation about how we are doomed etc. [CNN]
- A runaway stunt car in Times Square attempted to kill a Sbarro, but thankfully, nobody was terribly hurt. [New York Post]
- Three state attorneys general would like Craigslist to stop allowing the posting of erotic ads, because once this single service does away with sex ads there will be no more sex or crime in the world. [CBS News]
- While we in the Americas have the “luxury” of worrying over a relatively benign (as long as you’re not in Mexico!) strain of pig flu, Egypt and Southeast Asia must deal with the much rarer but more deadly bird flu. [New York Times]
Nicholas Cage movie VS. Arlen Spector switch … which is the worse car wreck.
Is the Naked cowboy OK?
Fortunately, Sbarros can only be killed by Palestinian terrorists.
Having eaten at Sbarro, getting hit by a car is the least of your worries.
Yes, Tom Ridge, please! I can’t wait to hear him peppered with questions about the shenanigans that went on at HSA while he was there. If Ridge does run he may actually think that throwing the Bush administration under the bus will help his chances.
Arlen Ridge, Bob Specter, what’s the difference? Hacks, both of them.
The Chinese are similarly holding in quarantine a few dozen Canadians because Canada is practically right next to Mexico, when viewed from the moon.
mexicans, republicans, falling stocks, runaway cars, sex crimes, deadly flu…
isn’t there any happy news, sara? stories about puppies? baby chicks? pregnant celebrities?something cheerful for another rainy northeast morning?
[sigh]…such a long wait for entertainment tonite.
We need to find a new plague to die from as the old one is a flash in the pandemic.
Way to go, As-G. Force the sex workers out into the streets, where they will be subjected to more violence and humiliation then they normally would banging random people on CL. You’d think that, as old, probably married professional assholes, that CL services would be something that the As-G approve of.
Tom Ridge’s chances of entering the Senate race are yellow right now. However, the next batch of polling may elevate this to orange, or lower it to green.
Also, of course the Sbarro survived. Have you tried eating their ‘pizza’; that stuff could probably withstand a nuclear blast, the car probably just bounced off.
This is just like the republicans to think that all sex = crime. They live such poor repressed lives
TGY: too early to declare a “Zinger of tha Day”?
Bruno:
The reason why Repubs think that sex=crime because what they call sex (with kids/mules/rape) it is.
Bruno: Sean Hannity to Elizabeth Hasselbeck on last night’s ‘Hannity’, talking about how he enjoys watching ‘Teh Vyoo’: “Except for when you all talk about sex. That makes me really uncomfortable!”
That just confirmed my belief that Sean Hannity is too dumb to live.
For those of you with strong stomachs and no sense of self-worth, Joe-teh-plumborz interview in Christianity Today.
SmutBoffin: “A magazine of evangelical conviction” ?!!?!???!1111!
We can convict ppl for being evangelicals now!?
Fortunately no Times Square hos were injured at Sbarros, just film & tourist hos.
Tom Ridge is only running to thwart Pat Toomey’s glorious rise to power because Ridge wants to make sure babies die. At least that’s what I learned on the Free Republic. That site is so awesome!
SmutBoffin: I am very well acquainted with the woman who wrote that story. It’s unfortunate that she got stuck with that interview, but she did allow him to hang himself verbally.
A Prime Joe-The-Pimplism:
In the last month, same-sex marriage has become legal in Iowa and Vermont. What do you think about same-sex marriage at a state level?
At a state level, it’s up to them. I don’t want it to be a federal thing. I personally still think it’s wrong. People don’t understand the dictionary—it’s called queer. Queer means strange and unusual. It’s not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we’re supposed to do—what man and woman are for. Now, at the same time, we’re supposed to love everybody and accept people, and preach against the sins. I’ve had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children. But at the same time, they’re people, and they’re going to do their thing.
Classic. I can hear the flannel from here.
Wow. I totally misread that title.
Yeah but how does Joe T. Plummer feel about opposite marriage?
JadedDIssonance: Ha, let’s play the ol’ homophobia game:
“I’ve had some friends that are actually black/eskimo/quaker/etc.. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children.”
Fun!
SmutBoffin: It makes them feel stupid. If you spent 5 grand on a 3-diamond hooker, and found out you could do better for $150 on craigslist, what would you do?
Three state attorneys general would like Craigslist to stop allowing the posting of erotic ads, because once this single service does away with sex ads there will be no more sex or crime in the world.
this might be the one thing that could revive newspapers.
Didn’t bird flu already kill 90% of the human population a couple of years ago, creating a zombie plague in the process? I hope so. I’ve been blowing away a lot of zombies lately, and I’ll be pissed if it turns out I was using up my ammo on living neighbors.
Czn939: He doesn’t like to hear about ladies enjoying sex. He prefers rape. Consensual sex make him “uncomfortable”. Spread the news.
SmutBoffin: Yes!
“I’ve had some friends that are actually undergoing Chemo. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children.”
I have some friends who actually fuck mules, and I mean, I know where they stand, and they know I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children.
“I’ve had some friends that are actually plumbing company laborers. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children.”
JadedDIssonance:
You know, I think when Blow The Thunder says “I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children.” he meant he didn’t want his kids to see daddy unclogging someone’s pipes.
Thoughtful that.
AKAM80TheWolf:
He also has them shout to him NIGHTLY “Go on up thou baldhead!”.
because once this single service does away with sex ads there will be no more sex or crime in the world.
Please, no one is that starry eye. The attorneys generals simply believe that there will be no more sex or crime on the internets.
