Science Minute
Oh, okay, so now the scientists want to create new life forms. Let's see: We have corn that makes its own pesticides, lots of pharmaceuticals, and now we're going to get new life forms.
Fun with "Moron"
So some Canadian communications director spoke her mind and called W. a moron. Now the bootysmoochers say "fire her." I guess they're jealous of her honesty.But the funniest and screwiest part about this whole affair is the following quote from Ari "No Lips" Fleischer: ""I just dismiss it as from somebody who obviously doesn't speak for the Canadian government" (UK Reuters, Nov. 21). Isn't his job title the same as the Canadian woman's? (FYI: Ari has his own Yahoo.com category. All he does is lie. Anyone can be famous in America.)
More fun with morons
"Another bilateral irritant [between the U.S.ers and the hosers] is the persistent public pressure from the United States on Ottawa to dramatically increase defence spending."
Okay, so because Canada doesn't kill enough people, the U.S. government is pissed. Yeah, I get it now.
No Nips
The FCC in its infinite Powellian wisdom is talking about revising 'the definition of indecency" and looking into censoring TV. Why don't we just ban nipples altogether, and then we won't have to worry about them creeping up (or out) ever again? Maybe some scientists could genetically alter women to make us nipple-less. Then we wouldn't be so profligate and sex-crazed all the time (Christian assessment or Taliban Islamic, take your pick).
If the new rules pass, those supermodels who depend on scoring gigs on TV lingerie shows for big bank are going to lose a good TV gig. But Big Bro needs to run the show ... you know? This latest attempt by the FCC illustrates their selfish desire to have it both ways. They want to deregulate communications to death, but they also want to impose new restrictions. Which is it, guys?
People are sexual beings and they like to look at each other naked. You grow up, you accept it, you move on. Considering that there's tons of violence on TV every day, why all of the sudden does a lingerie show demand such a backlash? I guess the censors are sexually frustrated, so they have to go running to their binders to figure out how to write yet another rule to constrain people. We already know they enjoy violence, hence the Wars on Everything, Everyone, Etc.
Did you notice that if you flip the O and the P in "Powellian," and give P a leg, it becomes "Orwellian"? Just a little something for the conspiracy theorists out there.
