welcome to thursday’s edition of stupid people news. it’s time once again to laugh at the unfortunate and ignore the other news of the day. here are some of my favorite stories.
the people:
Son of baseball’s hit king turns himself in on drug charges–but at least he can still get into the baseball HOF…dad takes the over on a repeat offense.
Stolen cart hits officers car–drunk guy driving a golf cart with a keg of beer on board…what could possibly go wrong?
Man Electrocuted Painting Fla. Home–metal ladder+ overhead power wires= not good.
Woman plans to marry man who shot her, held her hostage — now THERE’s a dysfunctional relationship. she calls him her soulmate. now, i don’t know about you, but anybody who does what this guy did should be disqualified from that category.
the overpaid researcher:
Traffic causing stress condition–once again our friends at the venerable BBC have uncovered some breaking news. traffic causes stress. you don’t say. read the suggested cures for some added amusement. i’m just wondering how much coin they wasted on this study.
and…you could be an incompetent international organization if you end up in a story on fark.com…like, i don’t know… THE U.N.!
U.N. to reinstate lone official fired in oil-for-food scandal
(if you need evidence of my theory, read the following previous posts:
further evidence the u.n. is incompetent
more on the u.n. oil-for-food disaster)
the post of the day, in my view, was turned in by one of my favorite blogs…conservative cat. read and laugh.
Confused Americans for Truth – Can Santa Claus Save the Democrats?
coming up tomorrow…the weekend begins with the first official “i hate the michigan wolverines” open thread/trackback party, just in time for the brawl between THE ohio state buckeyes and (that other team) on saturday afternoon .
here are the simple rules:
1) keep it clean. profanity in comments here/trackback posts…will be deleted by me.
2) trackbacks must link to friday’s post.
3) leave your best rants against the team from up north in the comments to join this thread.
4) if you have a special post on the OSU/that other team game this weekend, feel free to send me a trackback so that my small but loyal group of readers can experience your brilliance.
that’s it. enjoy the rest of thursday. 🙂
