Goo guns stops bad guys in their tracks
Homeland Security Budget dollars at work aimed at U.S. citizens. Yes, "bad guys" means protesters expected in Denver and other cities for political conventions this summer (DNC, RNC). The Anti-terrorism consultant states that "rational people should not be concerned" with the purchase of $25 million in arms for use against the American public. Touche. And yes that plural noun /singular verb was CNN's.

April 15 2008 150-pound cougar prowls Chicago streets

CnN produced several really irksome headlines this morning and the associated articles are even more irritating.

1. Today, IReport, CnN's redundant section for amateur journalism, solicits submissions of "your Pope pictures, videos." here's mine.

2. Study: Single Parents cost taxpayers $112 billion which is a study assuming poverty and government assistance to children of single parents will be significantly reduced if each state spent millions on "marriage education." (i.e. get tax payers to fund the organizations that funded this study) Why not spend millions on free no-strings-attached birth control for anyone at any age, sex education that includes abortion as a viable sans-stigma option, and job creation? What I'd really love to see is a study on how much churches and marriage advocacy non-profit organizations cost taxpayers every year. No income tax, no sales tax, no property tax, and tax write-offs for donations. Tally that.

3. Jesus' image creates stir at hospital ENOUGH! The condensation on the Orlando hospital window formed the face of Jesus weeping or Johnny Depp. Click here for more sightings.

4. 150 pound cougar prowls Chicago streets which I mistook for an update on Ivana Trump's honeymoon. What's wrong with tranquilizer guns? These sharp shooters fired round after round trying to kill this cat, might as well have been slumber darts.

March 26 2008 Man drilling hole with gun kills wife

This headline, I kid you not, was located directly above an article advocating squabbling with your spouse (see right image). The man was installing a satellite for cable TV and believed the best way to drill a hole in the living room wall was to shoot it with a .22 caliber handgun. He shot twice thinking everyone was inside and the second bullet fatally killed his wife. The second article claims that fighting with your spouse can actually lengthen your life. Proof? If this poor wife had simply told her husband what an idiot he was instead of taking a walk around the block to vent her anger, she just might have had a longer life.
