The Reason Why George Washington Never Had Children (According to Bush, that is)
Even before President
George W. Bush set out for his four-day visit to Latin America, a predictable

Coulter Losing Her Ammunition
Three newspapers said this
week they will drop Ann Coulter's column after the conservative author referred
to U.S. Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a "faggot."
"We are 10
months away from anyone even casting the first vote in the presidential
election, but already the mud is flying. Did you hear the latest about Barack
Obama? He comes from a family of slave owners. He's black, but he's half white.
Apparently, on his mother's side, which is the white side, they owned slaves.
The Barack Obama camp is going to deny it, but his approval ratings in the South
shot up 27 points. That's nothing. Apparently, President Bush's entire family is
owned by Saudi Arabia." " --Bill Maher Republican Shenanigans
Jenna Bush Wrote a Book. No, Really!
Jenna Bush, in a rare
interview, says her forthcoming book for teens - about a 17-year-old single
mother in Panama who is living with HIV - will end with a "call to
action."...Bush says she will donate her earnings to UNICEF.
She says
she "very, very modestly" hopes her book will have some of the influence of two
books about girls caught up in the Holocaust: Lois Lowry's novel Number the
Stars and Anne Frank's The Diary of Anne Frank.

"You heard
about the big John McCain gaffe. He was on the David Letterman show announcing
his presidential campaign, and he pulled a Joe Biden. ... He used the word
'wasted' to describe the lives lost in Iraq. Next day, he said he should have
used the word 'sacrifice'. But to put it into perspective, when McCain was a
prisoner in Vietnam, George Bush was wasted. Sorry, I meant to say he was
sacrificing brain cells." --Bill Maher

"Why aren't we hearing the other side of this issue? Yes, there is tons of black mold growing in the walls where we house our wounded soldiers. But nobody mentions, mold can be used to make cheese ... and penicillin. You might say Walter Reed's walls are dripping with medicine." --Jon Stewart

Subject: Chinese pets as dinner?
Thanks for my morning dose
of racism.
I hope you are being sarcastic. The reason I made that comment was due to my son's culinary experiences in China last summer. He said he ate chicken, beef, fish, frog, pork, rat and dog -- and a delicious mystery meat on stick.
I was just kidding!

Humanoid robot HRP-2 uses a tap after washing a cup during a demonstration at Tokyo University in this February 28, 2007 picture. A Japanese university has developed two humanoid bartender and waiter robots who can also wash dishes -- sort of. The two robots, named HRP-2 NO.7 and NO.8, work as a pair to serve drinks and then collect the empty glasses. They are also designed to open a faucet and place objects beneath it.
