No sh*t Sherlock. Joe were you born this stupid or did you have to take pills to get this dumb? What will his next story cover? Maybe the shocking news that there's less day light during the winter months.

It's Not Easy Being Beautiful

They're rich, they're beautiful, and gosh darn it! they need some understanding:

Naomi Campbell has spoken out in support of Kate Moss, who has lost three modeling contracts and is being investigated by London police on allegations that she used cocaine.

The General's Daughter

Grand National Party chairwoman Park Geun-hye dons military fatigues for target practice on Monday.
For those of you not following Republic of Korea (aka: South Korea) politics in detail, this is the daughter of General (and President) Park Chung Hee. Some Koreans feel very conflicted about General Park. He ruled the south with an iron fist, but also set the south on the road to economic devleopment and subsequent greatness.
Now Park Guen-hye seems to be a probable presidential candidate for the next election creating the very interesting possibility of the Park family running Korea again, but this time through a free election. Let's hope wearing fatigues and firing an assault rifle isn't her Dukakis -in-the-tank moment.
Meanwhile, opposition groups are attempting to label Park Chun Hee a collaborator with the Japanese, which doesn't really seem to be getting much traction as far as cutting into Park Guen-hye's support. (I'll post more on the issue of Japanese collaboration later.

Corpse Bride

Hurricane Rita--Just a Pawn?

A second major hurricane this year is it global warming? No, a lone voice out of Idaho brings us some rational thinking:

"Since Katrina, Stevens has been in newspapers across the country where he was quoted in an Associated Press story as saying the Yakuza Mafia used a Russian-made electromagnetic generator to cause Hurricane Katrina in a bid to avenge the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima..."

Thank goodness, I thought maybe it was a sign of the coming end of the world.
