verbicideFrom today's Harper's Weekly.
"Violent protests continued in Venezuela, where President Hugo Chavez called George W. Bush an asshole..."
Anytime, anyone, anywhere calls Dubya an asshole...my heart sings a little song. Which means I've got the Washington Symphony Orchestra thundering away in my chest
"French lawmakers passed a ban on Islamic headscarves, and Russian religious leaders refused to permit Roman Catholics to attend a conference on religious tolerance."
As much as I'm not a fan of religion, I'm even less of a fan of religious oppression and bigotry.
"A self-described 'pressure-group with a terrorist character' was threatening to bomb French trains unless it receives a $5 million ransom; French investigators speculated that the group has anarchist or left-wing or right-wing tendencies"
Well that narrows it down. Excellent work, inspectors.
"President Bush was criticized for exploiting September 11 in his new campaign advertisements, which employ paid actors instead of real firemen.."
I read about this last week and it still pisses me off.
"Alan Greenspan, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, suggested cutting Social Security and Medicare to help pay for President Bush's massive tax cuts for the rich."
Simply corking. Gee, if he wins the election again, I think I'll move to Canada. It's just up there *points*
"An Israeli fashion designer staged a photo shoot along the West Bank wall near Jerusalem; several young models were photographed while posing under Arabic graffiti that read: "I AM A BIG DONKEY."
*smirk*
"Scientists found that homosexual sheep have peculiar brains."
I have a peculiar brain. Does that make me a sheep?
