Philip Ruins Aussie Cheese
Prince Philip (commonly referred
to as "Homer Simpson without the charm." among the Palace staff),
refused to wear a hygiene cap and gown before making a "royal"
inspection at a cheese making company in Wagga Wagga, Australia. Thus
a full day's production of cheese was thrown out on the off chance that
Phil might not be the cleanest egg in the basket.
"But
it makes me look like a poof wearing that stuff." The ageing fop
of Edinberg was heard to say.

corporate money trash my good name sully my wife's name, make me look
like some out of control, quick to anger psycho Vietnam vet, toss a war
hero and former P.O.W. over for a civilian pampered pretty boy with immoral
high power connections and an insider, bend over for the oil industry,
can't run a successful business to save his life, makes Quayle look smart
son of a failed President that embarrassed our party but is still supported

China
Warns Taiwan
Spastic screwball Zhu Rongji,
premier of China, never got up the nerve to demand satisfaction from the
U.S. after our bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia (The boneheaded
accident was brought on by our numbskull, laughable excuse for an "intelligence"
agency).
His
reasons for keeping his yap shut were clear. Give the U.S. grief and China
may not get those fat Pokemon and Warner Bros. cartoons toy manufacturing
contract. Let alone making all those Star Wars toys.
Although
its likely that China would have got it anyway, Zhu knows when to bend
over and when to stick it out. At any rate, now Zhu is tossing a girlish
hissy fit at Taiwan, a land that has not been under mainland China's rule
for about 100 years. Zhu is ready to spill every drop of Chinese blood (except his own of course) bringing the Taiwan people back
to the Homeland (but not treating them as equals to Chinese citizens).
Currently,
Zhu is screaming his fool head off and wagging his finger like mad over
the very idea that Taiwan may elect Chen Shui-bian, the pro-Independence
leader of Taiwan's opposition party (he got elected anyway. So much for
Fear Of Rongji).
Hey
Zhu! Hold your breath until you turn blue! Maybe the Taiwan people will
surrender their freedoms then! Then you'll only have to attack Indonesia
to sew up the world wide tennis shoe market. If not, you can always have
your people make Pokemons for Taiwanese children.
Big
Drug Bust
After 20 years of B.S. and
the destruction of lives and family throughout all the Americas, the Drug
War FINALLY gets real. Operation "Conquistador" nets
2,331 arrests.
You
remember the Conquistadors, they were the Europeans who slaughtered the
native peoples of Mexico and the Central Americas during the Roman Catholic
Inquisition.
Bad
name - Good bust.
The
Almighty Doughnut
Young, unarmed black men in
NYC have taken to wearing Krispy Kreme Doughnut uniforms while in public.
The uniforms have a hypnotic effect on even the most benighted NYPD jackass, rendering them unable to murder
in cold blood, as is their natural wont.
