Weekend News Wrap-up

[ REUTERS ] Blaine fails to break underwater record in New York What will happen to the school of Blainetology now?! Check out this guy's song, too. It's great. [ PHYSORG ] Flying robot attack 'unstoppable': experts In a future time Children will work together To build a giant cyborg Robot Parade Wave the flags that the robots made Robot Parade Robots obey what the children say ~They Might Be Giants [ CNN ] Bush nominates Hayden as CIA chief Again, I was over looked on this position. I hope the government is like most employers I've applied to and keep the application on file for 30 days; I expect a high turn over in the position. [ CNN ] Report: Whirlwind lifts girl 25 feet Yikes! [ LOCAL6 ] Teacher With Porn Past Hopes For Bible-Belt Forgiveness Schoolteacher Tericka Dye was recently fired because of her work in adult films several years ago. Her porn name was Rikki Andersin. Rumor has it that Dye's past came to light because she is currently divorcing and fighting with her ex over child custody. She claims it was a one time thing, but with my awe inspiring research ability I've found at least nine video releases with scenes from her. I'm not sure all the scenes could be filmed in one day. But who knows.. Maybe she should move to West Boca Raton, Florida. [ KSDK ] Store Owner Survives Being Shot In Head During Robbery As he was being wheeled out on the stretcher, he could be heard muttering, "I wasn't even supposed to be here today!" And in a Tony Danza style transition, Clerks 2 is due to be released July 21st. Mark your calendars. [ NCBUY ] Teacher Says She Was Fired Over in Vitro This is why the Da Vinci Code seems so believable - they're all a bunch of nuts! In the real world we know it, like the bible and other "religious" books, is indeed a work of fiction. Speaking of the insanity of Christianity, in Anacoco, Louisiana, a couple of boys were kicked out of the boy scouts for claiming to be Wiccan. Then there was the old man who used the bible to convince a minor to have sex. Crazy shit seems to spew from that nonsensical book. [ SKY ] Fish Drags Man To Death I could envision either one of my brothers or my grandmother's husband going out like this. Eerie. Again, in a Tony Danza style transition, I took my son fishing on Saturday and he caught two pretty nice sized bluegills at Highland Pond in Greenfield. A couple of weeks back, I took him down to the Connecticut river to practice casting his pole he received for his 3rd birthday. [ MSNBC ] Bush: Brother Jeb would be ‘great president’ HELL TO THE NO. [ USATODAY ] NSA has massive database of Americans' phone calls And we've made it to the number ten story and it's a biggie. The article has a nice little time line if you scroll down. I don't understand. I suppose the problem is that, I believe, the Bush administration never had 9th grade civics because when they were younger schools stopped teaching at grade 8. They just missed out. They also must have been sleeping through the Nixon era.

In other news, TERRY LOST! I haven't been this disappointed in Survivor since the whole Rupert debacle! Oh well, at least Aras won over Danielle. But still, TERRY WAS THE FRIGGIN' MAN! That was just wrong Danielle! WRONG! Also, Bush received a letter from his pen pal Ahmadinejad. I hear it was like 18 pages or something. I expect Bush's reply didn't quite make a full page, even though it was double-spaced and in really large font. On Tuesday of last week, I read somewhere that banks now offer a 50-year mortgage. They've apparently also been offering 40-year mortgages. As if home ownership isn't daunting enough, now some people really will be paying for the rest of their lives. Much love.
