Am I to much of a cynic for thinking that this would be too easy of a thing for KMart to implement themselves?  (they say they did not)

Maybe I'm too much of a cynic for seeing potential for abuse. Interesting nevertheless

Remember a couple years ago when Gaddafi was addressing the UN and said "Swine flu? What next? Fish flu?"

I was wondering what we would do without an international clown (plus we just lost resident weirdo Kim Jong Il), but it seems that Chavez of Venezuela is really stepping out suggesting the US has found a way to give cancer to Latin American leaders. He wants us to all know he's not accusing. Just thinking out loud.  Seems Castro gave him some advice to be careful about what you eat.  Now Cuban cigars on the hand? No way that can give you cancer. What would we do without these guys?

If you don't cry reading this one you either have no pulse or feminine side, or are really really desensitized.   It's harder if you got a kid.

Basically 100 year old finds kid she gave up after being raped.
Yes I believe God kept these people alive long enough to meet. Yes I do.

I just ordered "Green River Killer: A True Detective Story" by Jeff Jensen and Jonathan Case. It's supposed to be really, really good. Any true crime buffs out there should definitely check it out. Note: If tales of death and despair are not for you, you should pick up something else.

So I guess Lebron turned down a $3000 cake and people are mad. Personally I'm amazed people even have and produce $3000 cakes. Just strange.

The NAACP had no immediate response to the remarks. Neither do I except to say that sometimes I read like one or two paragraphs and then pretty much stop. This was one of those times. 

Granted the thread title says you should read it too. But it doesn't say how much you should read it or how happily or anything.   Sometimes I just put stuff here cause I think to myself "Nobody could make that up. It has to be read to be believed"

I didn't know the American Pregnancy Assoc recommends taking a stillborn child home with you for a little while.

I'd have to say mocking how a politician's family handled a lost pregnancy is a new all time low. Sometimes I hate our "culture". There. I said it
