This just in: Gadafeee has opened up his Viagra reserve account in an effort to encourage his loyalists to rape the rebel women.
I'm not sure of the rationale behind this. Can he actually believe the rebels are thinking, "Hey, he's having our women raped. Maybe we should all just go back to work."

Did you know that the Daily Show on Comedy Central ranks #4 among the news programs? I think this is great. It's been a long time since other news programs made fun of Jon Stewart. I saw a 2008 clip of Bill O'Reilly talking down to Stewart as if it were ridiculous that people would take him (Stewart) seriously. Now-a-days, it's the other way around and I love it.
Just for the fun of it, here is a funny picture:
Some elephants went on a rampage in India. I saw one push a cow around like it was a Chihuahua (<- hard word to spell). Speaking of which, I wish I had a pet cow.
I saw a sign that said, "Beware of Grizzly bears. Wear a bell and carry pepper spray." The sign went on to say you could tell if a Grizzly was in the area by examining piles of dung. A couple of things to look for that is characteristic of Grizzly dung: "You may see small bits of bells and it will smell like pepper."

A headline I saw online today: "Weiner must pull out."
China and India are starting to fret about the United States failing to pay its debt. Both of these countries put the probable fallout square on the shoulders of the GOP. Here is what is starting to happen as of right now.
- Companies around the world are holding back on hiring as they wait to see what will happen
- Countries are becoming reluctant to buy U.S. bonds as they fear a default.
- The U.S. bond rating is beginning to drop making the interest on our loans grow.
- Once we default, our rating will drop steeply, raising the return we must pledge on our bonds. My math shows that a 5% increase in interest/rate of return will cost the United States $137 million dollars a day (that's just on what we owe China). This equates to $50 billion dollars a year.
The GOP is causing this. This being a global travesty that will change our place in the world - all to appease the Tea Party. If I were the president, I would look for a way to disband the GOP; not to get rid of the competition, but to rid our country of Economic Terrorism.
OPEC cannot agree on a new level of oil production. Here is the deal. If I can produce more oil (like Saudi Arabia), I want to. Sure, this will make the price drop but I will make up the difference with more volume. However, if I can't produce more oil because I am at capacity already (Venezuela), then I don't want more oil on the market because it will lower prices and I cannot create more volume to make up the difference.
Also, Venezuela is run by a guy that wants to do whatever he can to make things bad in the United States. He is, of course, welcome to do this. It's not illegal. It's no more immoral that us allowing Syria to kill itself. The real fault here is that we allow ourselves to become dependent and thus put Chavez on his throne.
Embrace nuclear power and this will all change. I know Germany is changing to fossil fuel power generation. They do this out of fear. One can never tell when a tsunami is going to hit Munich, so they prepare for the worst. (Reminds me of the line: "We cannot allow, a mine-shaft gap. Let me know if you know where that came from) The FACT is that the death rate per Terra-Watt of power generated is 4,025 times higher with fossil fuel that with nuclear power.
The two main things that are hurting job creation in the United States are gas prices and uncertainty. The GOP blames Obama for unemployment even though they are the ones causing the uncertainty. As far as gas prices go, Obama doesn't have a voice in OPEC and when he tries to crack down on oil speculators in the United States, the GOP blocks him.
The group that hacked Sony, LULZ also hacked a security company. The security company offered $10,000 to anyone that could hack their site and change a specific photo. LULZ did it quickly but turned down the money.
A computer repair guy installed software on computers that he was working on. The software allowed him to remotely control the computers' video cameras. So, women would take their computers home and he would be able to see whatever was in range of the camera. He got caught when he got a little...ambitious. He caused their computers to post the following message "Your lens is becoming dirty. A suggested remedy is to put it in an area with steam for a few minutes." The idea was to try to get them to take their computer with them when they showered.

Alas....there is a world to save. Also, I need to get dressed - I'm off to the Budapest Ballet. I get a discount when I wear my cape.
Up, up and away...
