News of the Week

Did you hear about that Colombia rescue? Amazing stuff, they duped the FARC. Can't wait for the Hollywood movie to come out. Another Take..

great story. I'll keep reading every take on it......

Venus beat Selena this morning at Wimbleton. Good match, I usually don't get up early enough to watch it but caught the second set this morning.

Bought a dryer yesterday for the rental house. Lowe's delivered it, cost $79 for delivery and removal of old dryer. Refused to disconnect the old one because it was gas. What's the point of paying then? I asked that question to the right guy and got a refund of $79. Me +1. The man 0.

Did you hear about the Viacom suit against youtube? Basically, Youtube must turn over every user history of upload and viewed. That means if you viewed a youtube video, which we all have, your IP address and viewing habits will be turned over. Could you be held liable for watching a video that Viacom claims was copyright infringement? Who knows, worth watching....

The tomato salmonella break out is now being expanded to salsa. Nobody just eats a tomato, right? Now Jalapenos and other ingredients are being investigated. Look for Mexican restaurants everywhere to suffer.....

This is why you don't road rage. Road rage is bad, especially if you are on a motorcycle and you are trying to take on a car. The gene pool just takes care of itself. doesn't it?

I really hate FARC. "FARC, which funds itself largely through drug trafficking, extortion and kidnapping, holding nearly 700 hostages in the dense Colombian jungles."

The whole concept that FARC even exists-- in the western hemisphere, no less-- really pisses me off.

They should be exterminated. And we should pin medals on the exterminators. And celebrate that our great country made the world a better place.

Never happen. With Barry, we'll tell them how much we love them as fellow human beings and apologize for not being green enough. And for thinning their beloved rainforests where they MURDER freaking hostages.

FARC, netflix, and PPV make me think of Blackhawk Down.

Great, great movie.

Pei - Thanks for posting. I thought you hated me after the Pastor thing. I agree 100 percent with your comment. Love and hugs = Bin Laden all over again. LOL on your Barry comment....

anon: Blackhawk Down has Orlando Bloom right? When I think of him I think of gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that.....

I loved that story when I first read it in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Great, sad, etc.
