“Hello, and welcome to my homepage. My name is Ulrich Haarbürste and I like to write stories about Roy Orbison being wrapped up in cling-film. If you have written any stories about Roy being completely wrapped in clingfilm please send them to me and I may put them up on the site.”

While Demanding That Other Countries Give Them Up! I’ll say one thing, Bush has Brass Ones.
Administration moves ahead on nuclear ‘bunker busters’

“Demonstrating a significant shift in America’s nuclear (see also “nookular”) strategy, the Bush administration intends to produce ~ not just research ~ a thermonuclear bunker-busting bomb to destroy hardened, deeply buried targets, the Pentagon has acknowledged for the first time. The weapon ~ known as the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator ~ would be a full-power hydrogen bomb that would throw up enormous clouds of radioactive dust while wreaking large-scale damage and death if used in an urban area. It would be thousands of times more powerful than the conventional ‘bunker busters’ dropped on Baghdad in an attempt to kill former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.”

Tell me again why the US has the right to tell others to disarm while doing the exact opposite? Tell me again why other countries’ opinion that the US is the biggest threat to the planet is unwarranted? Or how it’s okay because we are the Good Guys, and every other government is susceptible to corruption except the US? You know you are in Deep Shnit when your only friends on the planet are a few scattered islands and a couple of countries the size of islands.

“Baraka, an ancient Sufi word with forms in many languages, translates as a ”Blessing,” or as the ”Breath or Essence of Life from which the evolutionary process unfolds. Baraka is a poetic tour of the globe that depicts the harmony and rhythm between man and nature. Breathtaking, Relaxing and Spiritual, Absorbing… Baraka features outstanding music artists such as ”Dead can Dance” and a compelling visual record of dramatic and spiritual moments which do give us pause to wonder. We were moved by the variety of scenes portraying the devotional lives of individuals all over the world.”

After watching this I HAVE to buy the DVD!

TheSmokingGun: While all news organizations prepare obituaries in advance of the deaths of famous individuals, the folks at CNN inadvertently gave the Internet-surfing public a chance to preview how the network’s web site would note the demise of Vice President Dick Cheney, Ronald Reagan, Fidel Castro, Bob Hope, Pope John Paul II, Nelson Mandela, and Gerald Ford.
