Hate Mail O’ The Week
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009It is always fun to open the mailbag – in this case, my comments queue – to see what the lunatics have to say. This reader, like most of the folks featured at Hate Mail O’ The Week, probably stumbled upon my blog after looking for ways to make clothing out of hemp. [...]
Sarkozy: Burkas Not Welcome In France
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009The French are finally standing up to people? Ho. Lee. Crap! To be honest, the more I hear from French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the more I like him.

Perez Hilton Bitch Slapped!
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009For the life of me, I cannot figure out if that title is redundant or just just tragically comic. I am leaning toward redundant.

Iranian Leaders Slam West Over Election
Monday, June 22nd, 2009As the Iranian protests head into their second week, international pressure is increasing on the government there.

Cheated NHL Players Are Pucking Mad
Monday, June 22nd, 2009And after reading this story, I can’t say I blame them.
14 major NHL hockey players are suing a developer named Kenneth Jowdy for allegedly screwing them out of millions of dollars — and then blowing the cash on escorts, strippers and private jet rides for some of the biggest names in Major League Baseball history.

FTC Plans To Monitor Blogs For Violations
Monday, June 22nd, 2009Attention bloggers. President Obama’s goon squad is targeting you. I guess he didn’t like the cracks about his big ears and Michelle’s resemblance to Aunt Esther from Sanford and Son. Either way, the Federal Trade Commission is planning to monitor blogs for claims and payments.
