I like this theory.

The Universal Lingerie Theory of American Presidents.

It's pretty simple: In order to categorize a particular president, you merely have to determine exactly what sort of lady's undergarment he is, and this will let you know what sort of effect he's going to have on the country. Yes, I realize that this model implies that we Americans are a bunch of boobs, but I don't think that's a very controversial stance.

On abortion in Mississippi, and the lies and obstructions put forward by the pro-life people, who apparently can't make an argument based on *facts* but don't want to let that stop them.

It's a Hello Kitty Ferrarri!

Edited update:
Larger version added.

As was suspected elsewhere, this is photoshopped.

I made that image of the Hello Kitty Testarossa as a wedding gift for a friend in Hong Kong... yes, it's just a photoshop. His fiancee loved Hello Kitty and I was teasing him that she would get to the car eventually.

The creator makes custom Ferrari kits, and doesn't mind people linking his stuff but would like a link to his business added.

Police called in a spotter plane, helicopter and video-equipped patrol car to help convict a woman who ate an apple while driving to work, newspapers have reported.

After nine court hearings and a trial lasting more than two hours, nursery nurse Sarah McCaffery was fined 60 pounds on Monday when a court upheld a police decision to give her a penalty ticket.

Police used the plane, helicopter and car to film road conditions on the route she took in Tyneside, northeast England, after officers pulled her over in December 2003.

"It is a joke they put so much effort into this," McCaffery, 23, told the Sun newspaper on Tuesday. "You would think they had better things to do."

She said she had both hands on the wheel of her Ford Ka and was driving safely.

But police and public prosecutors said she was not in control and they were obliged to gather evidence when she chose to fight the fine in court.

Michigan health care firm fires all employees who smoke, regardless of when or where they do it.

The founder of Weyco Inc. said the company doesn't want to pay the higher health care costs associated with smoking.

An official of the company -- which administers health benefits -- estimated that 18 to 20 of its 200 employees were smokers when the policy was first announced in 2003. As many as 14 of them quit smoking before the policy went into effect.

EEWWWWWWW!

Much stealing brought this image to me.

Military cover up torture? Say it ain't so!

US Army closed the vast majority of prisoner-abuse cases early, without presentation of evidence, trial, or penalty.

For the most part, this is because the records have been destroyed by the personnel on trial, who were given access to them after being informed of the charges, and deliberate destruction of evidence (which WOULD exonerate them if they were innocent) is apparently not a crime the JAG feels like pursuing.

Oh, and is this Abu Ghraib? No, these are in the other prisons, and in the streets of Iraq, and the people who ARE on trial are all saying the same thing: We were ordered to do so.

Rumsfeld cancelled a trip to Germany for fear of being arrested on war crimes charges. It's a start.

[One] detainee said he was whisked off a Baghdad street by two U.S. soldiers, blindfolded and taken to an unknown location, where he was beaten by wooden sticks, sodomized and given electric shocks during an interrogation session. He was also one of three detainees who said in separate cases that he was forced to drink urine.

"They made me take a picture with the captain giving me a hundred-dollar bill," the detainee said. "They then threatened to show the picture to the Iraqis and say I was working with them."

Medical examinations corroborated the injuries to the detainee's wrists and noted injuries to his anus. Military lawyers ruled that the "investigation did not further diminish the integrity or credibility of [the] allegation," according to a report dated Aug. 5, but they closed the case.

Ted Turner called Fox a propaganda tool of the Bush administration and indirectly compared Fox News Channel's popularity to Adolf Hitler's popular election to run Germany before World War II.

Fox wasn't laughing, however. "Ted is understandably bitter having lost his ratings, his network, and now his mind," said a Fox News spokesperson. "We wish him well."

Germans have the coolest toys.

A thought.

If the new law passes and a marriage is defined as between "two persons"...

... and a corporation is legally a person....

...doesn't that mean you could marry or corporation? Or that two corporations could marry?

This is the greatest comic I have seen in a very long time.

Sadly, it requires and works exclusively through Flash.

I am willing to put up with this, which should tell you how much it makes me laugh.

The gnomes are dead!

( I declare VICTORY! )

I had seven lives left, too, but I switched tasks too quickly after hitting "pause" and it kept running in the background without me, so the gnomes just ran out my life while I wasn't looking.

That single game has been going since MID-DECEMBER.

I'm never starting it again, because I might never stop.

I win.

Stupid gnomes.
