What’s up, you guys? Are you loving summer or what? It’s awesome isn’t it? No season beats Summer, except for maybe Autumn or Spring. And Winter has it’s certain charms too, I suppose. Anyway, Summer is great though. My face and chest are taking on that mid-July toasty reddish-tan quality and on Monday I went to Canada’s Wonderland, a theme park here in Southern Ontario and I rode a bunch of roller coasters and I fucking love roller coasters. Enough about me though, let’s turn to the roller coaster that is life and see what the headlines are saying. These are fresh of the rack this morning so dig in!
- Afghanistan continues on in turmoil as a suicide bomber kills five at a mosque during memorial services for Afghan president’s brother, Ahmed Karzai.
- The crew of Atlantis is getting their first day off today and yesterday Michael Stipe sang to them. Awesome?
- The Arab League will be submitting a petition to the UN to recognize the statehood of Palestine.
- Rupert Murdoch and his son James have been ordered to testify before the government inquiry into the News of the World phone-hacking scandal or they will be considered in contempt of parliament.
- The Guardian has a nice FAQ on the US debt crisis.
- Spotify has launched in the US.
- LA is set to have worst weekend in traffic history!
- A woman in California has been arrested for cutting off his husband’s penis and putting it down the garbage disposal. Just to ensure it couldn’t be sewn back on? Is that even possible? I don’t know I’m not a doctor.
- Some government fuckery in Minnesota means that Miller may be unable to sell it’s products in that state. Oh no whatever will the “loves-shitty-beer” demographic going to drink?
- The race for the Republican presidential nomination is so asinine. What’s with all the coyness? Giuliani is still apparently considering running for some reason and Palin is STILL claiming she “might” announce her decision to run in the next few months. These people just love the attention.
