Crazy Stuff

#1: Terry Shiavo
The Republican-controlled congress (lower-case "c" intended) has supbpoenaed a brain-dead woman. Visualize success: a brain-dead woman, in those hallowed halls, being interrogated. For background, check out these folks: AP story; the Rude Pundit (3/18/05); and Majikthise (3/9/05).

#2: Steroids
Why the hell do we need anyone in congress (again, lower-case "c" intended) to ask a bunch of jocks whether or not they used steroids? And why confine the testimony to baseball players? No track-and-field folks? No football players? No professional wrestlers?
Since we're so concerned about people's biochemical purity, how 'bout we have hearings on which congressmen use Viagra to shag interns?

#3: My Hometown
San Diego's bishop denied funeral rights to a devout catholic (another lower-case "c", intended) because he ran two gay bars. Nice. Check the story here (3/18/05 posts). Scroll through the comments, too.

#4: Balls Like a Motherf*cker
Paul Wolfowitz to head the World Bank? John Bolton(3/10/05 and 3/9/05 posts) at the UN? Alberto Gonzales at the Dept. of Justice? (As Dave Chapelle would say) "Cunnilingus" Rice at State? (I never liked her at Stanford, either). I won't even bother linking to anything about her.

#5: The Blogosphere
Even though reading blogs gives me more reasons to bang my head against the wall-- thanks, God. Where else would I read about all this crazy stuff?
