One bush supporter was described: Echeverria, a 62-year-old Air Force veteran and Republican, drank his whiskey from a tall glass, then pumped his fist in the air. He liked how concise Bush was and that he didn't make empty promises. "All right, Bush!" he said to the television above the bar in Tampa the rest did as follows: ....turned off his hearing aid.... .....ignored the inauguration on the Country Club Cafe television.... .....only a handful paid attention to Bush's speech on the big-screen TV...... This Just in: Bush supporters are old, drunken and crazy. Anyways, i get the feeling no one cared about what bush had to say. His ratings are also at an all time low iirc.

Posted by donkey (6 Comments)	Wed Jan 19th '05 06:38:56 PM
Quote Indonesia's health ministry has raised the figure for the number of people killed by the Asian tsunami disaster to more than 166,000. The latest figure is more than 50,000 higher than the previous total issued by the ministry. The announcement raises the global death toll to about 220,000. ... The BBC's Rachel Harvey in Aceh says that in the provincial capital, Banda Aceh, more than 14% of the population is confirmed dead. She says there are still local districts that have not reported any figures at all, making it seem inevitable that the final death toll will be higher still.

Posted by donkey (6 Comments)	Tue Jan 18th '05 06:53:49 AM
The world's largest passenger plane, the Airbus A380, is to be formally unveiled in France today. The twin-deck aircraft can carry about 555 people - more than its American competitor, the Boeing 747 jumbo jet. By building the $11bn (£6bn) plane, Airbus is banking on demand for large planes offering cheaper seats between the world's major cities, experts say. looks pretty awsome to me but the 747 isn't quite as ugly a bird

Toothache man finds nail in skull
Posted by donkey (6 Comments)	Mon Jan 17th '05 04:17:42 AM
Quote A Colorado man who went to the dentist complaining of toothache found he had a 4-inch (10cm) nail in his skull. Patrick Lawler had been suffering pain and blurry vision since a nailgun backfired on him at work, AP news agency reported. The machine sent a nail through a nearby piece of wood - but little did Mr Lawler realise another nail had shot into the roof of his mouth. The nail was embedded 4cm into his brain - barely missing his right eye. After Googling, this sort of nail in the head lark seems to be worryingly common.

Pentagon rejected 'gay bomb' proposal
Posted by play_boy_2000 (4 Comments)	Mon Jan 17th '05 12:03:19 AM
The U.S. military rejected a 1994 proposal to develop an "aphrodisiac" to spur homosexual activity among enemy troops but is hard at work on other less-than-lethal weapons, defense officials said on Sunday. The idea of fostering homosexuality among the enemy figured in a declassified six-year, $7.5 million request from a laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio for funding of non-lethal chemical weapon research. The proposal, disclosed in response to a Freedom of Information request, called for developing chemicals affecting human behavior "so that discipline and morale in enemy units is adversely affected." "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior," said the document, obtained by the Sunshine Project. The watchdog group posted the partly blacked-out, three-page document on its Web site. ROFLMAO, omg i just can't stop laughing at this.
