wahahahaha…. two hilarious “news stories” (the latter i’m not sure is real, bahaha, but its funny as hell):
LINCOLN, Nebraska (AP) — Sen. Ben Nelson finally has succeeded in getting President Bush to stop calling him by the nickname “Nellie.”
Bush had been referring to the Nebraska Democrat as “Nellie” since 2001.
Later on in the article, a paragraph or so down:
The president likes to give people nicknames. He has called Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, “Pootie-Poot,” while aide Karen Hughes gets “High Prophet.”
God, that is too fucking funny. (Cf. http://www.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/01/14/senator.name.ap/index.html for the whole story)
The second one? Even funnier.
Feb. 1 – Under intense pressure from the Bush administration to sell its controversial Al-Jazeera network, the nation of Qatar stunned the television industry today by agreeing to sell the broadcast company to Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News Channel. Television insiders were taken aback that the network whose motto is “We Report. You Decide,” would acquire a broadcast entity whose slogan is “Death to the Infidels.”
It gets better.
But according to Murdoch, chairman and CEO of Fox parent News Corp., the merger was a natural because, in his words, “We took a look at their format and realized that it was almost identical to ours.” Murdoch added, “If we really roll up our sleeves and make this merger work, we may wind up with the fairest and most balanced network mankind has ever known.”
God, I love Fox News. What will those crazy motherfuckers think up next? “Fairest and most balanced network mankind has ever known?” Oh… would that it were true! lol… And further:
But viewers can expect much bigger changes to come, as the channel plans to drop Al-Jazeera’s most popular program, “This Week in Jihad,” in favor of a new show, “Hannity and Hussein.”
(for the whole story cf. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6894936/site/newsweek)
This is some good satire right here. What’s even more hilarious is — what if this weren’t satire? Perhaps a portent of things to come… Crazy motherfuckers. I just felt I needed to post this shit and make you guys laugh a bit. Much love. I’m out, homework calls, etc. peace.
