some strange news from Scotland -
a Scottish man was placed on a sex offenders registry for raping a bicycle. Another Scottish man was sentenced to five years in jail for smothering his 76-year-old mother with a pillow not long after she told him he was a failure who could not even kill himself properly. "I woke up," the man told police, "and just decided to do it." [ed. - got something right]

Bo Ward, the proprietor of a barbershop near the Army's Fort Campbell, committed suicide at a town meeting in Clarksville, Tennessee. Ward had requested that his home be rezoned as a commercial property to increase its value and to offset the losses he suffered when most of his regular patrons, among them General David Petraeus, were deployed to Iraq; the City Council refused. "Y'all have put me under," said the barber before inserting a pistol into his mouth. "I'm out of here."

"For now, in other words, being an active liberal means being a progressive. And being a progressive means being partisan. But the end goal isn't one-party rule. It's the re-establishment of a truly vital, competitive democracy. For in the end, democracy is what being liberal is all about."

In Iowa, Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson continued to attest to the existence of WMDs in Iraq. "We can't forget the fact that although at a particular point in time we never found any WMD down there, [Saddam Hussein] clearly had had WMD," he said; Thompson ended his speech by asking for applause.

Republican Senator Larry Craig was selected for induction into the Idaho Hall of Fame and announced that he would not resign from the Senate, despite being denied his request to withdraw his guilty plea of disorderly conduct resulting from a sex sting at an airport men's room.

i'll have the turkey

so maybe i haven't been paying attention, but it seems like Turkey and Iraq have a border problem similar to the problem AmuuuRica (USA) has with the Pakistan/Afghanistan border, and really all not that different (but different enough) with Iraq/Iran border.

wouldn't you think those American's might work on the border disputes? maybe have this figured out? maybe figure out other border problems?

danger doom.
