This is a bit old… From Jan, but quite funny.
But for real… Here is a closeup of it with a CBS reporter.
Deadly virus phone rumors frighten Afghans
April 16, 2007 By Leave a Comment
Things like this just amaze me!
KABUL (Reuters) – rumors swept through Afghanistan on Monday that a deadly virus was being spread by mobile telephone calls, and government officials scrambled to reassure the public the talk was rubbish.
Many worried Afghan mobile phone users called family and friends, warning them not to answer calls from strange numbers. Some people said they had heard that several people had been killed by the mystery virus in Kabul at the weekend.
“Don’t answer any strange number because it contains a virus that will kill you,” said Ahmad Fawad, a shop owner in Kabul.
The rumors appear to have spread from neighboring Pakistan where last week a similar scare frightened countless mobile phone users.
Officials from the Afghan interior, communications and health ministries appeared on television and said the talk was baseless.

This guy is probably one of the most well spoken conservative guys ever! This is long, about 48 minutes. But it’s worth it.
Gore: The Planet has a Fever!
March 21, 2007 By 2 Comments
It’s been PRETTY cold this year with HUGE airline tie ups in the North East, massive snow over the past holidays in Colorado and that region, stranding a co-worker of mine trying to get home to their family, forcing them to find alternative ground transportation. My friend ended up missing Christmas altogether, not getting home until the 27th even though he left the eastern US on the 23rd.
But it’s TOO WARM!!! Too warm to fly planes!! They all need to be cooled before taking off! Oh NO!
Come on! Give me a break! It’s funny how on a lot of the days there are “global warming” events over the winter months, the temperature hits record lows, cancelling the event or preventing most of the attendees from arriving.
But,
Gore insisted that the link is beyond dispute and is the source of broad agreement in the scientific community.
“The planet has a fever,” Gore said.
No, Mr. Gore, I think you are the one with a fever, you look pretty bad in this picture, YOU better go see a doctor… And have him check your head too. I think your mommy might have dropped you too hard on it and now the area of your brain that processes temperature is damaged.

Spam Free (light) Morning

I was pleasantly surprised this morning at how little spam I had this morning in my primary email box. Almost to the point that I thought something was wrong with my email server… But a few minutes later I saw this on Drudge.
Quake cuts off much of Asia Internet
Internet and phone services have been disrupted across much of Asia after an earthquake damaged undersea cables, leaving one of the world’s most tech-savvy regions in a virtual blackout.
From frustrated traders seeking in vain for stock quotes to anxious newshounds accustomed to round-the-clock updates on world events, millions of people from China to Japan to Australia were believed to have been affected.
This was perhaps the reason. Most spam comes from Asia… Korea, China, Indonesia, perhaps even Taiwan. There were only 291 in my Junk-Email box and 10 made it through to my inbox. Usually it is 8-10x that much.
We need more non-devastating, undersea-internet-cable-breaking earthquakes in that region!!!
Have a hmmm…

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral, offensiveness-free celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
I was trying to think of an image to go along with this, but everything was “offensive”! :-/
How about this?

I posted the Sheperd Smith/Jennifer Lopez slip many years ago in my previous blog to huge response… Now Jane Skinner has her first major slip up on Fox News. Good stuff.
Oh, and BTW, here is Shep Smith’s original gaff that got my old blog 100′s of thousands of hits.
