http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090625/ap_en_mo/us_film_transformers_jar_jar_again_18 Transformers 2 is out, which goes a long way towards explaining why I’ve seen only two movies (Wall-E and Up) in the past three years. The rest of the explanation is made up by this excerpt from multi-kajillionaire producer, Michael Bay, here being forced to explain why two characters in his blockbuster are portrayed […]

http://demicouture.ca/2009/06/15/genious-brit-comes-up-with-vending-machine-that-sell-flats-in-clubs/ Witness this flat-soled shoe vending machine to be placed in clubs. The inventors are hailed as “genius”, and a reader looks forward to spending $10 on a pair of un-painful disposable shoes.

Students in New York Fall Ill, and Swine Flu Is Suspected – NYTimes.com
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/26/world/americas/26flu.html Remember Texas Governor Rick Perry? He’s the nutjob who, exactly a week ago, was threatening secession because he thought the US government was “overtaxing” its citizens.

In pressuring American businesses for the lowest possible price on their product, Walmart assures itself […]
Gov. Rick Perry: Texas Could Secede, Leave Union
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/15/gov-rick-perry-texas-coul_n_187490.html Texas Gov. Rick Perry fired up an anti-tax “tea party” Wednesday with his stance against the federal government and for states’ rights as some in his U.S. flag-waving audience shouted, “Secede!” I would remind Texas that they tried this before, and it didn’t work out too well. Last time it was based on slavery, […]
