Getting Started - 11/20/08


  • Iran claims that it has enough nuclear fuel to power one atom bomb. And I bet you're stumped on its target . . . Israel, your table is ready. (Herald Tribune).

  • Madonna and Guy Ritchie agree on divorce settlement. Ritchie gets nothing but his kids, the money he earned during the marriage, and escape from the dessicated corpse that is Madonna. And if by nothing, you mean everything, then yes, he got nothing. (Times Online).

  • Somali pirates continue raiding vessels off the coast of East Africa. (Times Online). According to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, this marks an end to global warming.(Church of the FSM).

  • Jarek Molski is disabled, but he still managed to file more than 400 lawsuits under the ADA before a judge bared him from filing any future litigation. The Supreme Court agreed, and let stand a lower court ruling capping the number of lawsuits that disabled people can file. Another victory for the able-bodied. (LA Times).

  • Hooray!!! 102 years after Upton Sinclair's novel, "The Jungle" exposed corruption in the meatpacking industry, China has announced new food safety rules. (NY Times). Full blown capitolism is just around the bend.
