'Robert Blake Plans Acting Comeback'

One year after being acquitted of murdering his wife, the 1970s TV star, claims he is ready to take on the world once again. The 72-year-old actor is currently working as a stable-hand for friends.

And Saddam is still president of Iraq .....


He said the toads must be taken to the RSPCA at 80 Boulter Rd Berrimah between 1pm and 5pm on weekdays.

The RSPCA, Coopers Brewery and the Cavenagh Hotel have teamed up in the name of animal welfare and the result is that toads can be turned into beer. In a move designed to turn seasoned Top End beer drinkers into lean, mean, toad-catching machines, the three Darwin organisations have got together to set up a toad-for-beer exchange.

Anyone over the age of 18 who captures a toad and delivers it alive to the Darwin RSPCA qualifies for a glass of icy cold Coopers beer at the Cavenagh Hotel. `Everyone who takes a cane toad to the RSPCA to be disposed of humanely gets a voucher for a free pot of Coopers ale at the Cav,'' Coopers Brewery's NT sales executive Sean Gould said. He said there would be a beer for each toad _ up to a limit of six a day.

Anti-war protestors pick noses, and MSM is there.

'War protest at Hayworth office draws 2'

SCOTTSDALE - It was a very small army that protested the Iraq war Friday outside the Scottsdale offices of U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth. Only two peace activists stood near Raintree Drive and Northsight Boulevard, holding anti-war posters for passing cars to see.

The protest, part of a national campaign to call attention to the human cost of the war, urged Hayworth, R-Ariz., to support legislation reducing the U.S. troop presence in Iraq. "The ways of peace are not bombings and breaking into houses and scaring little children and families,"

How udderly (sic) profound.


It's the end of the world as we know it

Democratic Underground: 'How to spot a baby conservative (whiny children - study)'

Remember the whiny, insecure kid in nursery school, the one who always thought everyone was out to get him, and was always running to the teacher with complaints? Chances are he grew up to be a conservative. At least, he did if he was one of 95 kids from the Berkeley area that social scientists have been tracking for the last 20 years. The confident, resilient, self-reliant kids mostly grew up to be liberals.

Forget militant radical Islam. The march of the brain dead cannot be stoppped. As the sun rises in the morn, and sets in the eve. Stupidity is forever. Evolution? The door to Darwin's waiting room is locked, and these disciples of modernity want to call a locksmith. Only Francoise isn't answering his cell, he's in France protesting streamlined labor markets. With all the other good little apprentices.


And a one and a two and a

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. Feed it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength. Ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire in a fire .....

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
