U.S. Spies on Everyone?!

•May 11, 2006 • Leave a Comment

Where do we draw the line between freedom and security? After the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, people thought that we had to give up rights in order to protect our freedoms. Even radicals agreed on this. The Patriot Act was passed and now we see that the government has gone too far.

We have constantly been bombarded with the news that the U.S. Government has been asking telecoms to hand over records of calls made in their networks. Although some companies like Qwest have denied the government access to their data, many telecoms like AT&T and Verizon have agreed to give the government their records.

I should stop calling my shady connections in the Middle East now. I'm going back to using a can and string for my communications.

The “Last Morning Ever Pill”

•May 10, 2006 • Leave a Comment

Finally, a humane solution that both Democrats and Republicans can agree on. No more pro-life or pro-choice bandwagons, we have found a solution. The "Last Morning Ever Pill."

This pill allows a woman with an undesirable child to die, while the fetus lives on. Luckily, the procedure is not painful for the mother or the fetus. If a woman has a baby, "a near lethal dose of barbiturates is released [by the pill], which induces a coma in the expectant mother until the child is born, at which point a second, fatal dose is released."

If rape or incest led to pregnancy, you shall not have to deal with the shame and embarrasment. You end your problems and your child lives on.

Watch-out, in-laws everywhere are beginning to buy this pill. So wait a while before taking drugs from them.

Playboy & MySpace, Well I’d Never!

•May 7, 2006 • Leave a Comment

We all know that there's a lot of oddballs on MySpace now a days. Recently though, we've been overlooking the classic MySpace promiscuous beauties. Playboy though, never forgets its gems of the internet. Playboy recently announced its selection of nine women who it has chosen to call the "Girls of MySpace."

People seem to be a bit apprehensive about the way to call these girls. Many low-brow bloggers are calling them "girls" (Girls of MySpace) while mass media seems to have unanimously decided to call them "women" (Women of MySpace).

Regardless of their title, people everywhere have begun to crown their MySpace queens by making them part of their "Top Eight" friends (to the demise of many girlfriends) and sending comments galore.

I'm just glad that they didn't confuse any middle school "hotty" for a MySpace girl.
