Harry Has to GO.

"he head of the British army said Monday that he had personally decided that Prince Harry, the third in line to the throne, will serve with a combat unit in Iraq.

Gen. Sir Richard Dannatt said the decision would be kept under review, but he hoped his statement would end media speculation on Harry's deployment.

"The decision has been taken by myself that he will deploy in due course," Dannatt said. "I would urge that the somewhat frenzied media activity surrounding this particular story should cease in the interests of the overall security of all our people deployed in Iraq."

He spoke after newspaper reports cited unidentified senior military officials as saying an army review was likely to lead to Harry being banned from the battlefield, although he could still do a desk job."

Good. He's third in line to the throne, so it's okay.

Twang What?

"Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday she sees her sometimes Southern accent as a virtue.

'I think America is ready for a multilingual president,' Clinton said during a campaign stop at a charter school in Greenville, S.C.

The New York senator—who said she's been thinking about critics who've suggested that she tried to put on a fake Southern accent in Selma, Ala.—noted that she's split her life between Arkansas, Illinois and the East Coast."

How do you get a southern accent when you weren't even born there? OR grew up there? Just because you want to black voters doesn't mean you have to put on a fake southern accent.

Getting Bean-ed.

"Hugh Grant has been arrested after allegedly hurling a tub of baked beans at a photographer.

He also reportedly kicked snapper Ian Whittaker.

Grant - who has been arrested before, when caught with prostitute Divine Brown in America - was taken to a police station last night for questioning over the alleged assault."

I have to admit. This is freaken hilarious. I mean, look at these pictures. If I were Hugh Grant, I would probably throw something more threatening than a tub of baked beans at obnoxious photographers.

But maybe he did.

“I walked backwards and he walked after me. He kicked me hard three or four times then kneed me in the groin."

Go Hugh Grant.

WalMart: Takes on CVS and Walgreens

"Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said on Tuesday that it will contract with local hospitals and other organizations to open as many as 400 in-store health clinics in the next two to three years.

Should current market forces continue, the world's largest retailer said up to 2,000 clinics could be in Wal-Mart stores over the next five to seven years.

Wal-Mart said the effort marks an expansion of a pilot program it started in 2005, when it leased space within its stores to medical clinics. Currently, it said 76 clinics are operating inside Wal-Mart stores in 12 states.

It has said the clinics are expected to boost the health of its shoppers and should also help sales by drawing consumers into its stores.

"We think the clinics will be a great opportunity for our business. But most importantly, they are going to provide something our customers and communities desperately need -- affordable access at the local level to quality health care," said Wal-Mart Chief Executive Officer Lee Scott in a statement."

It sounds all great but will Walmart start bullying around the local hospitals or the drug producers like it does for their daily "low priced" products sold at their store. Plus how would they deal with the increasing disagreement with the union. Only time can tell. Dirty Walmart.

Only ONE SQUARE FOR YOU!

Crow has suggested using "only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required".

The 45-year-old, who made the comments on her website, has just toured the US on a biodiesel-powered bus to raise awareness about climate change.

She teamed up with environmental activist Laurie David for the shows.

The pair targeted 11 university campuses to persuade students to help combat the world's environmental problems.

"I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming," Crow wrote.

"Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating.

"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting."

What the heck. Does toliet paper really matter to that degree? Do people actually rip out like 20 sqaures each sitting? You might as well just bring your own leaves and dig a hole so after you're done taking a dump, you'd be able to organically decompose it underground. Jeez.

On the side note, she has an amazing guitar.

Wikipedia > Myspace

MySpace, owned by News Corp and with reportedly more than 100 million registered users, "hurts my eyes", Wales says.

"There's way too much advertising and they're not really respecting their own community."

Wikipedia is another matter, he says. "We're not similar at all - you get involved in a community..."

Wales, who confesses to spending lots of time on the web - "I pretty much roll out of bed and log on" - says when he started Wikipedia he knew it was a big idea, but he never imagined it would be in the Top 10 websites.

Wikipedia is reportedly the ninth most popular website in the world.

"I was thinking more in the Top 100."

Wikipedia has been hailed as a revolutionary tool, but it has also raised concerns about errors and accuracy. Wales says there will be some new software features to limit errors, but stresses that where others would respond to errors by locking down, his response is to be even more open.

And how does his family react to his internet celebrity status? "It's fun for them" and normal for his six-year-old daughter, who was born two weeks before the launch of Wikipedia.

Asked if he would be willing to sell to the big guns like Google and Yahoo, he said no, and that he is working on "the next big thing that will hit the internet" instead.

His free, completely open source transparent search engine, will have a "huge degree of human community oversight".

Users can expect to see it towards the end of the year.

And his advice to aspiring online entrepreneurs? "Find something you love and go for it."

"It's good to have a geek hobby that turns into a career."

This seems to be a way to bring out publicity towards Wikipedia and to bash on the corporateness of what Myspace is. It is true though, that Myspace is jam-packed with advertisement that is sometimes very questionable to our youths today.
But Facebook doesn't seem so bad right, Mr. Wales?

BOMBS AWAY continued

Bombs Away!

MCCAIN SINGS: 'BOMB BOMB BOMB, BOMB BOMB IRAN'

Hilarious. At least McCain has a sense of humor, unlike some people,namely Barack Obama. But at least they're friends..or at least believe in some of the same things. Obama co-sponsered "Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act" which was introduced by John McCain. They hate together, so that's always a plus is my book.

I have no idea what's going on.

If 300 were rated PG...and for little kids.

Can't hate on the Dow Jones.

Dow Closes Above 12,800 for First Time

Sounds good to me. Although Yahoo and other technology stocks seem to be lagging at the moment, the overall message of a recovery is always good news. Although this isn't realy an indicator of a better economy, it's one step in that direction.

On a spontaneous note, apparently horses would be "nervous" and "skittish" during the Rolling Stone concert. The owners seem a bit annoyed but you had to admit, their demands are out of whack. They're not willing to move their horses. Is that too much to ask for? Maybe, but there has to be a compremise and with a title :

Horses may be drugged for Stones gig

You can't go wrong.

Don't be scared.

Korea Fears Prejudice With Shooting Link

"South Korea's Foreign Ministry said Tuesday the government hoped the Virginia Tech shootings, allegedly carried out by a 23-year-old South Korean native, would not "stir up racial prejudice or confrontation."

I remember when 9-11 happened and at my neighborhood liquor store where an Egyptian man was gunned down because they thought he was a terrorist. It was an odd event; I didn't really know what to think about the situation. What I did know was that the man who I bought food and candy was a rather nice fellow and never gave us students a hard time. It's also disturbing that it happened so close to home.

This reminds me of the world war 2 era where the Japanese were thrown into "concentration" camps and people who weren't Japanese but resembled them (Chinese) were taken down (in nice terms) because of their looks/race.

I could see how resentment towards a race could occur, but it still doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do.


"He was a loner, and we're having difficulty finding information about him," school spokesman Larry Hincker said.
Instead, we should all hate on those who are loners, creep bastards who just seem to do nothing. Cho Seung-Hui should be the poster child of creep bastard. His films should have been a warning. Beware of lonely creep bastards.

I'm just kidding.
But not really.

A Sad Day.

Gunman Kills 32 at Virginia Tech In Deadliest Shooting in U.S. History


A day where a safe place such as a college turns into a violent shooting spree between one man's quarrel and his girlfriend to the death of 32 and possibly more.

"He let off a full round of bullets and I was probably one of ten or 15 people hit. There was no warning. It was just random shooting. He didn't say anything. He just shot and left. A lot of my classmates were hit, and possibly my professor too."

This should have never taken place. Never. This makes you really wonder about school security, how he got his semi-automatic handguns, and enough ammo to take down a small army. Most deadly attack on a school campus...ever. Columbine was bad but this took it to a new level. Random acts of killing, killing of the RA and the girlfriend, chaining the doors so there wasn't an easy escape, blocking police. But now that the body count is here, all we can do is pray for the families affected.

A time by time basis of what happened.

Gone.

CBS Fires Don Imus Over Racial Slur

I knew it was coming but the real question was merely when. CBS reacted relatively quickly after the sponserships were dropped. But on the bright side, I guess it was good that he apologized to the Rutgers Women basketball team when they had a talk.


On the side note, you have to admit, this guy looks like a creep bastard.

Join the bandwagon.

Everyone loves good publicity. And when everyone can bash on someone who obviously did something terrible, they probably would.

"Hillary has spoken out about radio host Don Imus: "I've never wanted to go on his show and I certainly don't ever intend to go on his show, and I felt that way before his latest outrageous, hateful, hurtful comments."

"CBS Director Hopes Imus Will Be Fired"

"Obama: Fire Imus"

"Rosie Still Worried About Her Job? 'View' Co-Host Continues to Defend Imus' 'Free Speech"

So much hatred. But there are those who want to forgive him. Like John McCain and John Edwards.

But just look at this guy. I would love to hate on him, but the noble thing to do is to forgive him and forget about him and what he did. I commend John & John. But oh wells.

First Post:

U.S. military develops Robocop armour for soldiers:

First words that come to my mind is..."OH SNAPZ!" This would definately install fear in the eyes of the enemy when times come to ship our soldiers to far away lands to fight for the good old United States of America. Although it's pretty far fetched as in implimenting it at a relatively quick time, but it would be great for our military nontheless. Now we need Batman's Tank for overwhelming power.
