If you have to rent a friend, you should try volunteering anywhere instead. You will meet nice people.

A stock trader (ha ha) get's 3 years jail, in France, for making terrible trades. In the US, we gave these guys bailouts and golden parachutes. I say, for he first time in my life, we could learn something from France.

Media Lies In England Too

Rupert Murdoch has quite a reach. I hope he like it when all of his news agencies dry up and blow away. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/sun-censored-poll-that-showed-support-for-lib-dems-1951940.html

Random Stuff:

Since both the US and Russia have decided to drop going back to the moon; I would like to suggest that if we all stop killing each other here on Earth, we might have the cash to actually go beyond the fucking moon. Please translate this into every language you know and spread the word across the world.

How cool is it, that we edge a step closer to a preventive malaria solution??

Up In Smoke http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8493288.stm I hope he has a good dentist.

Darn, I missed "Human Target" tonight. Oh well, I am sure they found a way to get a Submarine to drive upside down through an underwater cavern wearing a parachute and rescued sacred Canadian religious relics.

NewsCorp Leans Towards BING?

http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/11/23/microsoft-murdoch-talk-team-up-to-freeze-google-out-of-online-n/

It's funny how Rupert is so very scared of Google, he is too old to understand that they increase traffic at his web sites. Poor old guy. I guess the is still thinking about it.

What I haven't heard anyone talk about, is how this (if it happens) will pit the conservative online media (BING) against the liberal (Google). I don't thing Microsoft wants to be branded as the "right wing search engine"? At least I don't think so. Nor do I think Google would want to be left wing. I am watching this one like a hawk.

I expect MS will say no, and Rupert will have to go think some more, which will just make him angrier.

"Some Like It Plot"

The BBC wins my award for worst news pun of the year...

News Roundup

The UN passed "tough" sanctions on North Korea today, um...not.

The Iranian Elections are going to be a train wreck, I expect some level of violence over the current Government and the rival both claiming victory. Maybe this will turn into another Minnesota situation? Um, no..they will just murder the opposition.

The OddBox had a good bunch of videos this week, click the link and enjoy..

Slow News Day

Yeah, just this Obama Supreme Court pick, which will wind up being denied in Confirmation Hearings (too "activist"), just so the Democrats can make sure all US Hispanics don't vote Republican in 2012. Oh, North Korea is blowing up all their Nukes right on their own soil and shooting off their missiles at nothing. Fine by me, less hardware to hit anyone else. Knock yourselves out with that. Yawn....


Oh, there is Monkey news!
