When not pretending to send his children off in UFO-shaped balloons or having his trousers dry-cleaned, Richard Heene likes to write theme songs for his science adventures. This one is getting slated across the internet, but I find it rather catchy. Tune into the show that’s really effective: Watch Richard Heene…. Science Detective! Unfortunately for Mr Heene, the non-Science Detectives have also proven to be fairly effective. I would suggest to him that the fatal flaw in his plan [...] While socialised medicine is considered with great mistrust in the US, here in the UK, no political party would dare to suggest that the dear old NHS should be replaced. Unless, of course, they didn’t think anyone from Britain would notice. In this clip, UK Conservative, MEP Daniel Hannan, holds court with the crown prince of right-wing crazy, Glenn Beck. You would not think it to listen to Hannan and his FOX friends, but we do actually also have [...] Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez has banned Coke Zero, calling it “harmful to people’s well-being”, which I am assuming is a polite way of saying that it tastes like crap. I am a big consumer of colas, mostly of the sugared varieties, and especially Cherry Coke. I do, however, find Pepsi Max and Diet Coke to be drinkable, so I am not entirely biased against low sugar colas. The brown cloying liquid known as Coke Zero is a step too far for [...] If Captain America was interviewed by Fox News’ Sean Hannity:
Captain America hates torture. He’s also not big on detaining people indefinitely without trial. Luckily for him, Captain America is just about the only guy in the US who can get away with saying stuff like that without being called unamerican. Steve Ballmer of Microsoft is threatening to pull out of the US, if the Obama administration moves to close tax loop-holes that are allowing multinationals to avoid paying tax.: “It makes U.S. jobs more expensive. We’re better off taking lots of people and moving them out of the U.S. as opposed to keeping them inside the U.S.” He might love his company (a little too much), but he doesn’t seem to like the country that allowed it to [...] This is the latest official advert from the leaders of the Republican party. Really. : Since you’re asking, why yes, I do feel safer. I feel safer because I believe the new President will actually consider reality before he makes decisions, and I feel safer because I do not think that he will use violence as his favoured method of dealing with the world’s issues. His willingness to talk to people who disagree with him, and to consider their [...] This could get interesting. Saudi Arabia has demanded that the US retract a claim that King Abdullah met Israeli President Shimon Peres in 2008, in a rare rebuke towards its ally. An unnamed Saudi official said the claim by US Under Secretary at the State Department, William Burns, was “completely false and fabricated”. Mr Burns said this week King Abdullah and Mr Peres met at a UN interfaith conference in New York last November. Saudi Arabia and Israel do not [...] |
