Random Rantings

LONDON (Reuters) - James Blunt's "Goodbye My Lover" is the song most requested at British funerals and remembrance services, closely followed by Robbie Williams's "Angels," according to a survey released on Monday.
I guess that beats AC/DC's "Hells Bells"?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A canned energy drink called "Cocaine" being sold in New York grocery stores has infuriated the city's mayor who says its brand name celebrates the use of a dangerous drug.
Yes, we wouldn't want to do that. How about if you sold fake cigarettes and called them "Gasoline"?
------------------------------------------
JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesian police have slapped a cordon around a huge landmark Banyan tree in the capital after members of a Muslim youth group attacked it to prove it had no special mystical powers.
It seems to be working. Thousands of people think a tree is mystical.
Jeje Zainudin, chairman of the United Islam Youth, said the group had carried out the attack to counter superstitions surrounding the tree. "It is not a matter of chopping down the tree but this is to counter a popular belief such as if (we) touch it, (we) will get sick or your cleaver will break."
Here's an idea. Chop it down and see what happens. Get back to me on that.

OMG...Those were hilarious.

Each one got better. I totally spit on The Govenor's Balls. Then to finish up with Bush. Priceless!

He has good writers.

Oh, and that Cocaine Energy Drink was on the shelves in Cali. People were all pissed off. Understandably. I'd flip the hell out if my kid told me to pick him up Cocaine like he does Red Bull.

McGreevey really was scheduled to appear, but word is that the former Governor got a preview of the list and declined to go on the show to read it.

I can't imagine why he would decline.

Pussy.
