Oy - you should see my hair. You now how when you get sick your hair gets all weird looking and your mouth gets yucky? That's me right now. But before I wash my hair and clean out my mouth and go to bed (already scarfed down two time-release gel caps that are supposed to let me get to sleep and relieve my symptoms, we'll see) - I wanted to bring you these few stories I found interesting.

China stripped of 2000 gymnastics medal for underage athlete
By Chris Chase
This story made me laugh. The Olympic Committee strips China of the 2000 Team Bronze medals in Women's Gymnastics. What? When it was so fricking obvious that at least two little girls on the 2008 team were under-age. I mean, come on, they didn't have the start of breasts! Sixteen year old girls have at least the start of breasts! It was clear those girls weren't anywhere near 16, despite what their lying phoney papers said (attested to by the Chinese government, as if we're supposed to believe anything IT says). Ridiculous, just ridiculous. Evidently 2008 medals earned by the cheating Chinese are sancrosanct, so they decided (finally) to pull the 2000 Women's GynasticsTeam Bronze medals instead.
I can't believe this - a DUH story if ever there was one. Why is this even news?
Illegal immigrants plan to leave over Ariz. law

Of course they're leaving - but don't count on the illegal aliens going back to home sweet home - they're not wanted in Mexico. Nope - they will instead move to neighboring states that don't have laws against them, like Wisconsin, which seems to be teeming with illegals. I swear half of Milwaukee's population is now illegals - you can tell by how filthy their neighborhoods are (I go through them five days a week on the bus to and from work so I see it every day). They don't seem to understand the concept of garbage cans and trash collection - not that they care. They don't care enough to learn to speak English, why should they care about sanitation laws? They throw all of their garbage, including food and used Pampers, into the gutters and yards. In the few cases where the yards are clean and not filled with junked up cars, the Mexican colors they paint their houses (bright blues and oranges) are a give-away. And then there is the ever-present Latino grafitti to add the finishing touches to what used to be neighborhoods filled with working-class descendants of Germans and Poles. Oh, and don't forget to duck when you hear the gunfire. I grew up in one of the neighborhoods that has now been overrun with "Latinos." It is no longer safe. Reports of gang violence and nightly shootings. Yeah, call me a racist - guess I am. I don't want the illegals here, either.
Somebody is giving the Republicans really really bad advice. A few weeks ago they held up a bill to extend unemployment benefit aid to the states; some of the Republican representatives actually claimed that it was unemployment insurance benefits that was assisting people is remaining unemployed, thus extending the Great Recession (I read this in The Wall Street Journal, which should be ashamed of itself for publishing such obvious drek). Obviously the dudes have no concept of what it means to try and live on approximately one-fifth of their regular income each month (if I made one-fifth of their income, I'd be on easy street). Now they've been holding up action on banking reform. Oh my - after the latest Congressional sub-committee testimony by the dudes who raped America while getting rich and laughed while doing it has been plastered all over the news. So now they've decided they're going to play marbles after all - a day late and a dollar short (hope you like those mixed metaphors). Like I said, really really bad advice.

And, tee hee hee, from The Christian Science Monitor, "Noah's Ark discovered. Again."
By Benjamin Radford, LiveScience's Bad Science Columnist / April 28, 2010
A Chinese Christian filmmaker is the latest in a long line of religiously funded expeditions claiming to have found the final resting place of Noah's Ark on Turkey's Mount Ararat.
