News: Hillary Rips Rumsfeld, Gayken, Freak Nature...
After Hillary Clinton rips Donald Rumsfeld over the state of affairs in Iraq, Rummy says he has "never painted a rosy picture" and says "you would have a dickens of a time trying to find instances where I have been overly optimistic." Unfortunately, that's not so true. Later, she called for his resignation.
Freak nature: Snow falls in Johannesburg, South Africa for the first time in 25 years.
Strange bedfellows. Royalties from the cheesy 1985 dance anthem "So Macho" are funding Christian fundamentalist agenda: "Apparently, the song generates about £10,000 a month, through radio play and compilations. No, that’s not a typo- £10,000 a month. Hargreaves is now ploughing the proceeds from his ‘80s hit into his radical party, Operation Christian Voice and hopes to becomes a Scottish MEP. The ex-songwriter and promoter admits to a colourful life in the music industry but has since seen the ‘error’ of his ways; 'I was a hedonistic sinner. I was Jack the lad. But there came a point when I looked at myself. I was calling myself a Christian but not living the Christian life. I read a Bible from cover to cover and I changed my life.'"

The 25 sexiest white guys in Brazil (or atleast a Portuguese swarthy white).
Brazil is almost 50% black and mixed race so a little bit of exclusion had to go on here.

Not only is there some exclusion going on but there's also some "eye of the beholder" going on.
I have a few Brazilian friends, Black, Portuguese and mixed and, in my opinion, they are ALL sexier than ANY of these guys.

My thoughts exactly, Derrick.

I'm a Democrat, and Hillary can stil suck my left nut. Who cares if she attacks Rumsfeld when she still supports the occupation of Iraq?
Posted by: nuflux | Aug 3, 2006 9:21:00 PM
Whatever NUFLUX, she does not. I commend Hilary Clinton for GROWING A NUT and being one of so few democrat's for actually speaking their mind. I commend her greatly. It's about time someone make the Republican asshat's answer for the embarrassment they have made of our country. Kudos Hilary, kudos...

The 'reverend' is another person who was once 'wild and crazy' and has now 'seen the light' and converted. Problem is, he thinks that everyone else needs to convert to his ways in order to be a morally good person. Such a shame.

Why is that construction worker not properly attired? First, for safety's sake and second: Has he not heard of melanoma? Yeesh.

25 hottest white guys in Brazil? Can we do the 25 hottest Christian rt-wing guys now too? 25 hottest Republicans? Hell..how about 25 hottest gay-bashers? Course, then we'd have someone writing in with the ubiquitous "I'd do him" comment.
