(Customer and cashier, at a cash register.)

Cashier: That doesn’t even look like your signature.

Customer: I know. It looks like Chinese or something.

Cashier: Yeah, I think it looks like if somebody had a stroke.

Customer: Yeah I was going to say that, but I thought that would be inappropriate.

(Guy and girl in tour group, walking through campus.)

Guy: Flying’s weird. Turbulence feels like you’re … hitting a ton of small animals, or something.

Girl: Ohh-kay. Don’t know you well enough for that kind of humor yet. Read More »


German Man Tears Hitler’s Head Off (and More!)

And Now the News with Kandy Korrespondent!The Group of Eight (G8) summit is taking place this week on the Japanese island of Hokkaido. The meeting originally was to center around the issue of climate, but was changed due to surging food and oil prices.

The intensity of the global situation has turned this island paradise into a police state. Japan has spent $280 million on security, surrounding the summit venue with a human blockade of 21,000 riot police. Despite the wide security perimeters, protesters began to gather on Saturday with many more expected to arrive during the week.

Meanwhile in Malaysia, leaders of the world’s largest Islamic nations gathered for their annual “D8” summit to discuss global inflation. The D8 is a reaction against the exclusive nature of the G8 summit. Read More »


Seizure of Children During April Raid Declared Illegal, How You Can Help Chinese Earthquake Victims (and more!)

And now the news with Kandy Korrespondent.

On Thursday, the Texas Third Appeal Court US ruled that officials had no legal right to seize 463 children from the Yearning for Zion compound in April. The immediate removal of children from their homes without a court order is only allowable if the children are perceived to be in immediate danger. The decision did not immediately order the return of the children.

The raid was prompted by call allegedly from pregnant 16-year-old who said her much older husband was abusing her. The raid failed to find the girl and authorities are now examining the possibility that it may have been a hoax.

The children removed in the raid were all placed in foster care, 100 of which have yet to be matched with mothers.

The Yearning for Zion sect belongs to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) an offshoot of the Mormon Church. FLDS members believe that a man must marry a minimum of three times in order to ascend to heaven.

McCain has refused the endorsement of Texas pastor Reverend Hagee following the discovery of the later’s anti-Semitic statements. During a late 1990s sermon. Hagee stated that Adolph Hitler was used by God to expedite God’s will the re-establishment of the state of Isreal. He stated,

“‘and they the hunters should hunt them,’ that will be the Jews. ‘From every mountain and from every hill and from out of the holes of the rocks.’ If that doesn’t describe what Hitler did in the holocaust you can’t see that.” Read More »
