1. 5 Pirates Drown With Their Loot. Here are my candidates for the Darwin Awards. Some of those Somali pirates we've all been hearing about apparently drowned after retrieving some 3 million dollars in ransom. Their boat overturned. Yes, but why is the rum always gone?
2. Death Row Inmate Pops Out His Eye and Eats It. Okay, I understand doing crazy shit to keep out the death chamber, but I'm thinking this dude really is looney. He was on death row after he killed his wife, their infant, and her kid and putting their hearts in his pocket. He gouged out his other eye previously. So does it now constitute cruel and unusual punishment to execute a blind man if he caused his own blindness?
3. OU Loses...Again. What the hell? How can we lose 5 straight BCS bowl games? Do we not watch films of the opponent? Are they out partying the night before? I guess Bob Stoops' nickname should be changed from "Big Game Bob," to "Blow It Big," Bob.
4. Anti-Israeli Protestors. Last week, not far from my house, a group of Palestinians were protesting Israel with all sorts of lovely signs including one that said, "Not another Holocaust in Gaza." I promptly gave them the finger. If Hamas, you know that terrorist group running the place, wouldn't launch rockets in to Israel, the Israelis wouldn't get pissed off to the point of annihilating Gaza. Speaking of Jewish people...
5. Amy Winehouse Targeted by Islamic Terrorists. At first I thought it was because of her crappy music and sense of fashion. However, it turns out she's Jewish and that's why the a Muslim website in the UK listed her and her Jewish manager's name as potential targets. "The Muslims want to cut my head off and I say, no, no, no." Sorry, I had to go there.
6. Tulsa Has Gone to Crap. Showing how out of control our gang bangers are and how our government is completely in denial, a guy in a wheelchair was shot and killed the other day because a couple of gangstas couldn't shoot straight. They were aiming for two other guys and missed.
7. Obama to Create 4.1 million jobs...Maybe. Um, some how the guy who will be sworn in as president in 10 days plans on creating 4.1 million jobs or something like that. But he's not telling anyone how or what or where. Here's the excerpt from the story:
Even the president-elect's own economists acknowledged their two-year estimates could be wrong.
The 14-page analysis, which was posted online, says estimates are "subject to significant margins of error" — because of the assumptions that went into the economic models and because it is not known what might pass Congress.
Obama has provided few details of his $775 billion plan so far. This fresh report does not include the specific construction of his tax cuts, the amounts dedicated to state aid or public works — key questions that Obama aides have closely held.
On Saturday, economic aides and advisers declined to lay out even rough estimates for the plan's components. They said they worked with broad instructions from Obama but didn't want to limit negotiations with congressional leaders by outlining their limits in public.
For a second time since his election, Obama increased the number of jobs his jobs program would create, taking the number to as many as 4.1 million jobs saved or created — a benchmark his critics charge cannot be measured. During the campaign, he promised only 1 million new jobs.
