What the hell China!!

“Games organizers confirm that Lin Miaoke, who performed "Ode to the Motherland" as China's flag was paraded Friday into Beijing's National Stadium, was not singing at all.

Lin was lip-syncing to the sound of another girl, 7-year-old Yang Peiyi, who was heard but not seen, apparently because she was deemed not cute enough.” CNN

What the hell china!!!.. first off she is just a little girl, and asian she has to be cute..right?

OH! Forget it…..

YOU R RETARDED

So apparently Groups that advocate for people with disabilities are asking us to boycott the Ben stiller movie “tropic thunder” over the word retarded…..

Aimee Keegan, public relations manager for AHRC Nassau, said any use of the word is "hate speech."

Writer Jenna Glatzer, 32, of Islip, remembers the day when her younger brother, Paul, who has Down syndrome and is now 29, asked her a heartbreaking question.

"He came to me when he was maybe 9 or 10 years old and asked me, 'What does "retard" mean?'" Glatzer said. "Just off the cuff, I said, 'It's short for "really terrific."' ... It was terrible to hear it coming from his mouth. He understood there was something wrong with the word and it was about him." www.newsday.com

First of all that’s…well that’s just plain retarded. For one lady you’re a liar, the word retarded doesn’t mean terrific it means: slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/retarded)

As in “damn it took you ten minutes to count to five you’re a retard.”

Secondly, “retard is hate speech” what!? Actually I won’t dispute that, honestly if something offends you it offends you I can’t argue. I’m pretty sure some people find kittens, candy, and Jesus offensive… sooo to each his own…I guess.

My main problem is this.. Why make such a big deal? The only thing you’re doing is giving “tropic thunder” free advertisement…hell all this controversy makes me want to see it even more..Plus I’m pretty sure no retarded people were hurt during the filming of tropic thunder. So please just sit the hell down retard..…

McCain and Obama tweak views on Iraq

"WASHINGTON — John McCain and Barack Obama have been on opposite sides of the debate over U.S. policy in Iraq for much of the past two years. Now, they seem to be drawing closer together.
Both now say the U.S. military can begin winding down combat operations in Iraq. Both believe the U.S. should begin stepping up its combat presence in Afghanistan. And each candidate says those views are a change of heart for his opponent"- usa today

My brain just exploded reading this. this whole country is going down the drain.. and its everybody's fault but mine's :-)

Obama leads, but worker pessimism reigns

"Poll finds low-income voters don't think either candidate can fix economy "

“Democratic Sen. Barack Obama holds a 2 to 1 edge over Republican Sen. John McCain among the nation's low-wage workers, but many are unconvinced that either presidential candidate would be better than the other at fixing the ailing economy or improving the health-care system, according to a new national poll.”- msnbc

I got one thing to say – “duh!!!”

Report: 'Rioters' Kill 16 in Attack on China Border Station

“BEIJING — Two men rammed a truck into a clutch of jogging policemen and tossed explosives, killing 16 officers Monday in an attack in a restive province of western China just days before the Beijing Olympics, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.”
“Though it happened on the far side of the country — near the Afghan-Pakistan border — the attack came as security forces were on alert for protests or any disruptions during the Games, which open Friday. It was among the deadliest and most brazen attacks in years in Xinjiang province, site of a sporadically violent rebellion by local Muslims against Chinese rule.
About 20 people upset at having been evicted from their homes staged a brief demonstration near Tiananmen Square, Beijing's heavily guarded political center. Uniformed police quickly surrounded the group until members of a neighborhood committee came and pulled the protesters away, scuffling with some.” – fox news

Funny how fox news makes a connection between what happened at the Afghan-Pakistan border with what happened in Tiananmen square.. That’s like relating some one robbing a bank in L.A to someone yelling at a cop in New York. Can’t wait till Billy O gets his greasy hands on this…the bastard.

Austria: Dungeon man faces slavery charge

‘A prosecutor says Josef Fritzl, the man who held his daughter captive for 24 years in a cellar and fathered seven children with her, may be charged with slavery.”
“Investigators say Fritzl confessed to taking his daughter Elisabeth prisoner when she was 18, sexually abusing her and fathering seven children with her, including one whose body he allegedly tossed into a furnace. They say subsequent DNA tests confirmed he is the surviving children's biological father. “ – CNN

IF IT WAS UP TO ME. THIS “MAN” (term used loosely) WOULD BE LOCKED IN A BOX FOR THE REST OF HIS MISERABLE LIFE.
