The BBC reported McGowan shared his meal with Yoko Ono, also on the Resonance FM radio program.Crazy is as crazy does.
Now in its fourth year, the conflict has become the world's worst humanitarian crisis, and rape is its regular byproduct, U.N. and other human rights activists say.Four years? Around about the same time we went into Iraq. Huh.
First, welcome to "The Real Story." I want to remind you just a few of the stories that have made big headlines in the media over the last few months. We had the Virginia Tech shootings, we had Imus getting fired, Paris sentenced to prison, Anna Nicole`s baby needed after, Britney shaved her head, went into rehab, then got back out of rehab. Rosie O`Donnell said a bunch of insane things, then quit. David Hasselhoff got hammered and made a video. Alec Baldwin went off on his daughter. Miss USA partied too much. An astronaut went crazy, and Sanjaya was voted off "American Idol."
You know why everybody has spent so many hours infatuated with these stupid stories? It`s because they`re all about celebrities or violence or public embarrassment. And with a few exceptions, the stories themselves weren`t all that important. But what was important is that we kept watching like stupid zombies that we are.
We watch the news because they fed our hunger for entertainment. They played right into the narcissism that we talked about yesterday, the narcissism that is America, unfortunately, today.
Now, I hate to play Mr. Gloomy, you know, and I know I`m not going to set any ratings records for it. But the real story is, while we`re watching all this crap, our enemies aren`t going away. They`re not watching it. They`re not going away, just because we get distracted by the stories like the D.C. madam, which, by the way, was kind of a letdown, wasn`t it? Don`t you think ABC is kicking themselves, going, "What the hell happened to that story?"
Almost two months have passed since the U.N. passed any approved sanctions against Iran. And guess what? They haven`t stopped enriching uranium just because we stopped paying attention. In fact, surprise, the IAEA made a surprise inspection last Sunday and proved that they`re enriching more uranium than ever before.
According to inspectors, about 1,300 centrifuges were actively producing fuel during the inspector, another 600 in some stage of construction and, most frightening of all, a diplomat claims that a total of 8,000 centrifuges could be in place by the end of this year.
Let me put that into perspective, you know, for those of us that don`t have a do-it-yourself centrifuge kit: 3,000 centrifuges operating for one year could make enough nuclear material for you to make a bomb. You do the math on 8,000 of them. Good news is, the current uranium is only enriched to about 5 percent and weapons-grade uranium needs to be enriched about 90 percent. Bad news? Experts say Iran could do that in as little as four months, but there is one small problem.
I`ve been telling you about this for months. You know, we`ve been distracted by Paris Hilton. They have to evict the U.N. inspectors first. That`s the tipping point I told you to watch for. Once that happens, there is no doubt as to Iran`s true intentions and no doubt of what we or Israel will be forced to do to stop them. That is not good news.
The only question is whether we`ll all be too distracted by Lindsay Lohan`s next drinking binge to even notice.
Bollocks to that! The last thing the planet needs is a rock concert. I can't believe it. Let's burn even more fuel.This is what I said last month.
Dr Keith Tovey, a climate change researcher from the University of East Anglia, estimated that the Wembley concert alone could churn out 3000 "tons" of carbon.And there's eight more venues.
I don't often do this, but I need some help getting the word out about a local soldier who is in need. Chris Cooper Jr is currently stationed in Iraq. His father passed away from cancer last month, and the combination of loss of income, medical bills and funeral expenses has practically wiped the family's finances out. Cooper has had to take out a loan against his military pay to help pay for the funeral and other bills.So, if you have a blog or belong to a newsgroup or visit forums please link back to his post and help get the word out. Or email it to friends and family. These guys do so much for so many, I think we can give a little bit back.
I have a post up at Lone Star Pundit about the Cooper family's plight:

There is more info in the local newspaper, here:

Would you be willing to send out a message to the Wednesday Hero blogroll, to see if anyone would be interested in carrying (or at least linking to) Cooper's story?
Much obliged!
Well, I'm not ashamed, I like the French. I can't think of another 'western' culture that values intellectual pursuit...I agree. Because only intellectual people riot.
Part of what`s gone wrong with so many electric cars that came on before is that they're built by people who thought of driving as a necessary evil and that Americans' driving habits are bad and we`re bad people and we shouldn't do that, and if we would just become better people, why, we can be perfectly happy with this glorified golf cart.And something Beck points out:
But the point is that these technologies will only be adopted when people want to choose themBingo. You can't force change on Americans. When pushed, we tend to push back. We have to want to change. The Prius doesn't make me want to change. It's an ass-ugly car. Al Gore doesn't make me want to change. His vitriol is mind-numbingly boring. You want the average American to become more eco-friendly? Lay of the screaming and badgering and give something we like.
this 8600 gallon gasoline FWY overpass fire was a REAL fire, not a pretend fire as was observed at both wtc.Rosie and Charlie Sheen would love this site.
