Insurance policy: Troops freezing sperm

"Troops say having their sperm frozen gives them peace of mind in case of death or infertility."

- In case of death or infertility - I'd stay the fuck home. Bush's dumb ass isn't worth dropping a fork over let alone dying for.
Teen didn't want baby, officer says

An uplifting story for all you pro-lifers out there. Abortion IS an option - keep that in mind you stupid idiots that pull crap like this. Great start to life knowing that your dad dumped you in a pile of turds to die.
Hating Hilary - the RIAA and downloading mp3's

"To some extent, at least, the record companies have themselves to blame. Whereas blank CDs sell for pennies at the nearest CVS, the price of new releases continues to creep up in most stores, to the point where movies can be cheaper to own."
A presidency at the brink

"Consider: His is the worst economic performance of any newly inaugurated president since Herbert Hoover. The economy has lost 2 million jobs since January 2001. Bush's economic program promises to create only 190,000 jobs this year under the administration's own assumptions. The much-ballyhooed $1.35 trillion tax cut of 2001 has evidently failed to rescue the economy, yet Bush promises more of the same."
AOL Time Warner loses $100 Billion

"AOL Time Warner Inc., the world's largest media company, on Wednesday posted a loss for all of 2002 of nearly $100 billion, the largest annual loss in U.S. history, after taking a $45.5 billion charge in the fourth quarter to write down the value of assets."

"Stonehenge II is about half as tall as the original, 3,500-plus-year-old Stonehenge, which sits on Salisbury Plain north of Salisbury, England."
16th Annual AIA Sandcastle Competition

Impressive sand castles.
Bubble Gum Alley

"Bubble Gum Alley. Not really sure how this tradition got started, but for some reason, everyone who passes through this alley leaves their gum on the walls. Covered from top to bottom, this place is pretty odd."

PetSMART employee uses dog to mop up urine

"And that's why he was particularly horrified when he watched a PETsMART groomer use his youngest dog, Mocha, as a mop, wiping up a puddle of urine she had created."
Deficit of $199 billion seen for 2003

"Republicans counter that tax cuts, coupled with strict government spending restraint, will help the sluggish economy grow and, ultimately, move the budget back toward balance."

- I counter that have a NON-RETARDED president would move the budget back towards to balance. Out with the stupid - in with the new.

The Onion | I Appreciate The Muppets On A Much Deeper Level Than You

"Please recall, if you will, the night I first showed you The Muppet Movie. It's bad enough that you hadn't grown up loving the film, but afterwards you called it, and I quote, "funny." Not "a deeply spiritual and highly personal statement of ambition tempered by ethics," but "funny."
