Tribulations

Tryptophan drowsy
Giving thanks and being full
Indians got screwed

Xen's Weekly Image

This is a picture I took of the Irazu Volcano in Cartago, Costa Rica (http://www.govisitcostarica.com/region/city.asp?cid=201) . Though currently dormant, it is Costa Rica's largest volcano. You can drive up and stand on the rim looking down into the crater, which is what this picture shows. The huge concentrations of sulphur are what gives the pool of water it's green color.

Rupert Mudoch: The Empath

In a stunning reversal of sensitivity, Rupert Murdoch, owner of News Corp and FOX News announced the cancellation of the OJ Simpson Interview and book publishing entitled "IF I DID IT".

However, as with all such things in society today, particularly tabloid television, other "copycat" specials ARE going to appear on other networks, and one is planning something even more ambitious - a weekly show of the same theme and structure.

Although the Simpson story is legally exclusive to Fox, other subjects will be explored by these networks seeking to provide truth to their public.

One such subject is:
"War of the Worlds: If We Did It. The Martian Interview about Their Plan to Take Over the World" (Amazingly, the details of this plan are strikingly similar to the Wal-Mart corporate 5-Year Plan as published earlier this year).

Another is:
"Ashlee Simpson: If I Did It. What I would sound like if I actually Sang any of my Songs"

And yet another:
"Michael Richards: If I Did It. What I would Say if I Really was a Bigot and Said Those Things on Stage.... Oh Wait. Never mind."

And of course:
"George W Bush: If I Did It. How I Would have Found the WMD's and Won the War in Iraq.
Or If I really Did Day 'Stay the Course'
Or 'Bring it on.'
Or 'They misunderestimated me'
Or 'Rarely is the question asked 'Is our children learning'
And of course 'There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
