#1 The Wonderful World of Conspiracy Theories Primer

As Conspiracy Theories go, this one is just for fun. In the grand scheme of things it is meaningless, and therefore a bit like mind candy. Fluff for the weekend after a hard news week.

The good news is, we can finally put aside our worries over Suri Cruise. She does indeed exist. However, the bad news is, we are not so sure about Katie.


PS. Should celebs be able to sell pics of their offspring for millions and you not sell your kidney for money?

Stop the Presses!!!!!! Not so fast there, Tommy boy. If Suri exists, there is something crazy going on here.

Or not. But, I ask you, whose child is this? [Editor's note: not mine.]

NOTE: I stand by my statements about Katie.


#2 Liar Liar

Looks like the good news is that no matter who you are, you can be investigated for lying. Turns out that only happens if you lie to rich people. So far corporations and politicians can lie with impunity.

Got it. If you have lots of money, no one can lie to you and try to get you to invest it, but if you are poor, then look out, they can take all they can get.


#3 The Groping Governator Shows His True Colors (Which we already knew)

The good news is that this may help Angelides, but the bad news is double. It may not help him, and it makes one hang one's head in shame muttering, "Is this where we have come to?" Is there any other kind of person that can be seen as fit for public office than racists and sexists? Seriously. What the hell are we thinking? This is not acceptable behavior for a toddler, much less a governor.


#4 Say What?

The good news or the bad news depending upon your gender is that two researchers from the University of Western Ontario confirm earlier studies saying that young men have an edge on IQ in the teen years.

The real news... Smart is as smart does. I rest my case.


#5 The Great and Powerful OZ


The bad news is that the death toll in Iraq is up. The good news? True to form this administration has opted to remove from the count, deaths from car bombs and mortar attacks. There, now isn’t that all better?

Yep, just stop counting if you don’t like the death toll. So goes the world of Georgie Bush and his band of lost boys in Never Land.
