I don't watch the news. I don't read news-sites. What's going on in the world, you guys?
I wouldn't know. I don't either.
The usual stuff, global warming, protests, terrorists, floods, tornados, charities... yeah, the usual disasters...
Something about a Balloon Boy and a Lipstick Killer. I wasn't really paying much attention.
this was made into a movie it seems
Well there's a school system flagrantly violating first amendment rights (see my Dangerous precedent thread for details).
But as far as major catastrophes go? other than that one, not any that we haven't had for the last 8 years. The economy is still in the crapper.
Oh. wait.
Fox News admitted that it's not actually a news company. :P That's pretty major news.
www.thedailyshow.com/ the Fox News defends itself part. hehe.
hear hear! let us remove the seperation of church and state so we may be proper young conservatives one again. now off to malt shoppe for riffing good soda!
If I'm not mistaken, the Czech president still hasn't signed the Treaty of Lisbon.
In other news, an outbreak of H1N1 flu in Ukraine.
Well...
Liberalism and socialism marches on... destroying wealth and culture as always...
Only this time it's in the States...
Long, Exasperated sigh...
The football season is in full swing and the World Series is going on too.
Dan Aykroyd is hopeful to start production of a third Ghostbusters movie soon.
And if someone wants to know, I did hear that on the news.
Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States.
I think that's kind of important.
KGM hasn't been seen in a while, maybe she was BAN HAMMERED!? :O
Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act which included a modification to federal hate crime laws and killed the F-22 program. [link]
The AHIP conference was crashed by satirical singing protestors. [link]
A healthcare feform bill that included a public option (sorta) finally made it out of committee, I'm unsure when or if a majority vote will happen. It seems the politicians want a vote before the end of the year, but they wanted a vote before Congress broke for August recess too. [no link]
State referendums are going up for vote in Washington and Maine this next week that deal with gay marriage. [Maine link] [Washington link]
Washington DC had gay marriage pass the city council, but before it can pass Congress has to approve. [link]
The H1N1 flu virus is still floating around and currently has a kill count of about 7000 people world-wide, with about 1250 or so in the US. [link] for contrast, consider that the annual estimated kill count for regular ol' seasonal flu is between 250,000 and 500,000.
A hotel owner in Taos, New Mexico has been accused of racist buisness practices, including forbidding his hispanic employees from speaking Spanish around him and anglicizing their names. [link]
Pirates are still in Somalia. [no link]
Ban on HIV-positive people travelling into the US has been lifted. [link]
White House calls Fox News the propaganda arm of the Republican Party. Fox News denies it. [sorry, couldn't find a good link]
The Princess and the Frog, featuring Disney's first African-American princess, opens in theaters on December 11th (I think). Whatever your feelings are, it's bound to be significant for Disney either way. [link]
KGM hasn't been seen in a while, maybe she was BAN HAMMERED!? :O
Yeah I've noticed she hasn't been on as much, which I'm sure is why the OTT has been a lot deader than usual.
State referendums are going up for vote in Washington and Maine this next week that deal with gay marriage. [Maine link] [Washington link]
You should hear the radio ads from the group against the one in WA. One thing said in these ads is along the lines of "This is a step towards gay marriage in Washington State. That doesn't seem right.". These commercials make it more annoying to listen to my favorite radio station than it should be.
Oh I forgot to add earlier, the world is now ruled by damn dirty apes.

Wow... I'm glad I live in the Liberal cradle of the Pacific Northwest known as Olympia, and that I don't listen to the radio ever. I guess I just don't understand the anti-Gay marriage position. On what cognizant or rational basis are they saying that it's immoral? I just don't get it.

I also have no idea why it could be considered wrong. It's probably just people fearing what is different. Besides, you expect people to be rational? You should be ashamed of yourself :P .
Oh, boy, are you in for a surprise! It turns out that people are spontaneously combusting in quantities constituting an epidemic. McDonalds opened an undersea location in the Marianas Trench that cost billions to build and costs trillions to get to. The '08 presidential election was won by a dark horse candidate from the Outlaw-Orange party, who has, you guessed it, outlawed the color orange. The american flag was replaced by the Batman Logo in hot pink. Benjamin Franklin returned from the dead to be promptly eaten by Zombie Thomas Jefferson. There are now thirty-seven continents, twenty of which were once part of Russia. All nations' currency has been replaced with buckets of kitten tears, leading to all manner of animal cruelty. As a result, PETA has gone from publicity stunts featuring naked people to guerrilla kitty liberation, joined by millions from websites of various respectability who want the laughter to return to Lolcats. On a related note, Rick Astley was preemptively nominated to the rock and roll hall of fame. English and the arts have been cut from public school curricula everywhere, in favor of accountancy, stock trading, and kitten torturing. There are two of Sarah Palin. We have no idea how that happened. Pitchfork writers have overthrown the current staff of Rolling Stone in a bloody coup, making the hipsters the mainstream and the mainstream the indie kids. For some reason, though, everyone still seems to think Britney Spears is still relevant. There was a movie made of the Icewind Dale trilogy, but sadly it was directed by Uwe Boll. Oh, and llamas can talk.
