If you want to know what I have been reading this week click here or on the Pax Nortona Annex link to the right. Oh, we have had an interesting week: Cindy Sheehan and more Cindy Sheehan; living to 130; how Elvira needed stitches in her vagina when she lost her virginity; Ann Coulter shoots off her mouth yet again; Malaysia sets her sights on the moon; a plan to feature a reality show which culminates in the birth of a baby; Cretinists — er — Creationists “reclaim” the dinosaurs (they’re not Biblical, but what the hell — neither is Fundamentalism); five grannies denied the right to enlist; hurting the feelings of the obese; Christopher Hitchens takes a beating at the hands of Jon Stewart; rebels who finance themselves by making porn films; AHnold sinks farther than Shrub in approval ratings; alternative medicine practitioner kills an autistic boy; National Porn Sunday; the execution of an innocent woman in Texas; Britain contemplates banning Pat Robertson for making statements in support of terrorism; the FDA drags its heels on a morning-after pill; all this extra CO2 doesn’t help forests to grow; the Smithsonian is falling down; Uzbekistan boots U.S. servicemen; Russell Crowe fixes things with a bellboy he attacked with a phone; Greeks angry over drunken Brits; loking for terrorists in the Sahara; Siberia is melting; the passing of Robert Moog (insert electronic dirge here); using tombstones for advertising purposes; Michael Shermer on Intelligent Design; rewriting Jesus by ignoring what He said; a wimpy 3.8 earthquake in NC; and some Fundamentalist Ass-Covering (well-done Randy!)

(And more!)

And the quote of the week: Frank Rich: “The President Has Been Forced To Make What For Him Is The Ultimate Sacrifice: Jettisoning Chunks Of Vacation To Defend The War In Any Bunker He Can Find In Utah Or Idaho”.
