Bush, No! Mad Cow!

In South Korea, even the protest banners are cute! These protesters were welcoming Bush to Korea yesterday. I wish I had a hi-res version of that poster so I could edit it - its practically begging for it.

Today’s Weird Japanese News Story comes from the dirty world of murder crimes and Police Investigations: Police was frantically called to a murder investigation… After a complete day of panic and “police activity,” it was determined that the “victim” was in fact a sex-doll.

By mid-afternoon, the body was in the hands of police pathologists. But when they sliced open the wrapping, they were confronted not by a decomposing corpse, but by a life-sized sex doll. “Our guess is that the owner didn’t want to take a risk by throwing it away with the rest of his rubbish,” he said. “It was an incredibly irresponsible thing to do.”

Ya, who in their right mind throws away a perfectly good sex doll?

Thomas Friedman on how McCain went from being a champion of the environment to just another Big Oil candidate.

With his choice of Sarah Palin — the Alaska governor who has advocated drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and does not believe mankind is playing any role in climate change — for vice president, John McCain has completed his makeover from the greenest Republican to run for president to just another representative of big oil.

Now the choice is crystal clear: Obama is the only Green Candidate left.

I know I make fun of McCain of being a grumpy old man but this interview is a perfect example. Do you remember your grand father or any old men, when they havent had their afternoon nap or tea get really cranky? Do you want that old man to be anywhere near a nuclear arsenal that can wipe out the entire world?

The VP’s 17-year daughter is pregnant. Now I wouldnt care about this as this is a personal matter - but this is significant because Palin believes that the only way we can curn teen pregnancy is to teach Abstinence-Only and not proper sex education to children. So clearly, she is right and we are all wrong. Another win for Abstinence-Only Sex Ed! Hi Five! All this is way too easy and way too much fun!

Cindy McCain says Palin has the foreign policy experience “because Alaska is close to Russia.” Oh and by the way, Palin also believes that some entity up in the clouds created the world and the world is only 6000 years old as the Bible says… Seriously… I have no words left.

“She’s not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president? Look at what she’s done to this state. What would she do to the nation?”

Absolutely. Yup, yup.

- McCain’s VP choice, answering whether she’s ready to to be one heartbeat away from being the Leader of the Free World. Is this how a potential president behaves?
