Lard Police:
After two years of secret taste tests, KFC said Monday it would stop frying chicken in artery-clogging trans fats, but New York City restaurants being urged to do the same say it's not so easy. KFC's announcement, which won praise from consumer advocates, came an hour ahead of a public hearing on a New York health department proposal to ban the unhealthy fats in the nation's restaurant capital. Industry leaders dished up a plateful of reasons why such a plan shouldn't be adopted.
Carter: We have to engage in two way talks with North Korea:
China, the United States and North Korea agreed in talks Tuesday to resume the six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear programs "at a convenient time in the near future" after a break of almost a year, a Chinese Foreign Ministry statement said. Christopher Hill, U.S. head delegate to the six-party talks, told reporters after meeting with his Chinese and North Korean counterparts that while the precise date needs to be agreed by all six parties, he believes it will be "in November, or possibly in December." North Korea has returned to the 6 party talks over their nuclear program, just like they always were going to. The Norks can ill afford to have their neighbor China mad at them for too long. Which once again proves George W. Bush's policy on North Korea is working.
Carter:Maroon!
Bush, Rove and other shadowy figures plan to steal another election:
There's just one week to go until Election Day, and already the hysteria is mounting...over voting machines. After the 2000 debacle in Florida, governments across the country have bought these electronic voting machines. But the media and Democrats, always pushing the "disenfranchised&quo t; lie, are trying to portray them as hard to use and inaccurate. After all, how can normal people be expected to use a voting machine? What if they vote for the wrong person?
Think about that position for a minute. Just about every person walking our streets has used an ATM machine. We use computers at home....which are much more complicated than any voting machine. People use self-serve grocery check-out stations. They pay at the pump for their gas. The voting machines are not complicated. They are not hard to use. But that's not the real issue here anyway.
I want you to consider the possibility that the real issue that Democrats fear is that the machines just might be accurate. For decades, Democrats have been propelled into office by election fraud. That is, people voting twice...dead people voting...people being paid off and told who to vote for, etc. The electronic voting machine gets rid of a lot of that. Computers are absolute...they only do exactly what people tell them to do...not what some Democratic precinct chief wants.
And then there's the whole issue of the soft bigotry of low expectations. Shouldn't the people who Democrats say are too dumb to work the machines be offended? Of course not....not as long as those same Democrats keep the checks coming.
Sensitive caring liberal mocks Steve Irwin:
If the South Park episode that tackled this subject was inappropriate, this is like inappropriate squared. Even someone as crass and insensitive as Bill Maher should know better than this.

Give it up George, marriage is a joke. A woman in England married a dolphin for Chrissakes.
Terrorists in Iraq try to steal election for democrats:
Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday the increase of violence in Iraq is linked with efforts to influence the outcome of midterm elections in which Republicans are struggling to keep control of Congress. "It's my belief that they're very sensitive of the fact that we've got an election scheduled and they can get on the Web sites like anybody else," Cheney said. He said al-Qaida and other elements were trying to "break the will of the American people" because "they think we don't have the stomach for the fight long-term." Asked if the attacks were timed to influence the U.S. elections, Cheney said, "That's my belief."
Double Standard?:
When a republican talks like this, our friends on the Sensitive Left scream "Theocrat" or "What about the seperation of church and state?" or "Lord, protect me from your followers" or "I won't think in your church if you don't pray in my school" and a host of other delights...
Britain plans to extinguish the Sun:
Global Climate Deal in the works:
The UK is to use the warnings of irreversible climate change and the biggest economic slump since the 1930s, outlined in yesterday's Stern review, to press for a new global deal to curb carbon emissions. The government is urgently pushing ahead on the issue because the existing Kyoto protocol runs out in 2012, and there is no binding agreement to extend it. Downing Street is seeking the outline of a package with the G8 industrial nations and five leading developing countries by next year, or 2008 at the latest.
If climate change is irreversable why do anything? From Junk Science.com:
Waiting for Gore-doh... Since Al Gore was offered the opportunity to facilitate serious debate on the underlying science of global climate change, 9 months, 3 weeks, 5 days, 21 hours, 12 minutes, and 52 seconds have elapsed. Despite milking lucrative speaking engagements and book deals with his global warming schtick he declines any such debate. Perhaps he's afraid of the Real Inconvenient Truth.
