Bush Changes Stance on Rabbit Hunting

This is perhaps one of the most disturbing images to come out of the White House in the last 7 years. In an unprecedented unilateral move, President Bush has decided to cease his personal rabbit hunting trips and has decided to leave Laura for his newest love, Petunia Cottontail.

Detroit in the News - Vol. II - Kwame's Mugshot

Here's the booking mugshot of Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Mayor Kilpatrick, innocent until proven guilty, was booked today in Westland, Michigan (only a few miles from my homestead).

Way to go, Kwame.

"Replacing the bad reputation of politicians with one much worse for 6 years, but he did get us a Super Bowl..."

XM-Sirius Merger

After much bulls**t foot-dragging, the American government has finally moved to approve the Sirius-XM radio merger. It has taken 400+ days to decide on this merger and it is well welcomed. Imagine, Bob Dylan and Howard Stern cavorting with Martha Stewart and Oprah...it's on it's way baby. The details aren't 100% clear, but it seems this merger might actually result in a lowering of monthly subscription costs.

I am wondering, however, if this had anything to do with Howard Stern's prodding of Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA). Senator Specter was on Stern's program last week and vowed to look into the merger and promised a decision before the end of the month. Just this morning Stern was commenting how the end of the month would soon be upon us. Oh, the wheels of government have finally moved in a logical direction.

Detroit in the News

So, Detroit's mayor was charged today on 12 counts...quite a day for the "new" Detroit. As a new member of the metro community, I DO believe in the city and know that Detroit can turn it around. Kwame did do a lot as far as economic development, but this debacle is not helping the spiritual and emotional development of a much-bruised city.

This is how we were portrayed in the major internet news world. The headlines earlier in the day were much, much bigger, but were trumped by the much awaited Sirius-XM merger...Baba Booey, Baba Booey, Baba Booey.

Are you a sinner?

Well, after 1500 years of the good old Seven Deadly Sins, the Pope and his minions have unleashed some additions for the digital age. Chris Hanson has new fodder for "To Catch a Predator" - He is now on a mission from God.

The sins old sins are as follows:

• Pride
• Envy
• Gluttony
  
• Lust
• Anger
• Greed
• Sloth
  

The new sins, according to Mgr Girotti, are as follows:

• genetic modification (watch out supporters of stem cell research
• human experimentations (so are we going to trust a medical degree from a Catholic university?)
  
• polluting the environment (a win for Ed Begley Jr.)
• social injustice (George W?)
• causing poverty (again, George W?)
• financial gluttony (watch out McMansions)
• taking drugs (damnit!)
