Interesting Tidbits

There are some interesting things in the news today that I thought I might bring attention to here.

The Nobel Peace Price
I find it odd that there is so much fighting going on over the Nobel committee’s selection of a Chinese guy who was arrested for “inciting subversion of state power”. You would think if a person inspires the OPPOSITE OF PEACE in any way, that they would automatically be disqualified from the PEACE prize.

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency Issues Recall
I think it’s hilarious that even spacecraft that are made in Japan have braking problems. I guess that’s the last time they’ll launch a Venus Explorer satellite made by Toyota.

Come On Haiti Light My Fire
Haitians are using the destruction of fires to protest the results of an election. After the decline of decades of poverty and a large earthquake, who’s gonna know that anything was even destroyed?

Any Joke Will Pale In Comparison
Comedian Kathy Griffin was criticized for making a joke about Bristol Palin. Just wondering, why single her out? I find it odd that jokes about her teen pregnancy and sub-par dancing are OK, but fat jokes are totally off limits. Unless of course if comparing Bristol to Precious was an insult against the Precious actress. That would make sense.

The Nigerian Gas Scam
Nigerian Investigators are accusing Dick Cheney of conspiring with their corrupt officials to secure natural gas contracts with Halliburton. Whatever, get in line Nigeria.
