GOOD RIDDANCE
GEORGE Bush hinted at a future career as a stand-up comic after a bravura performance alongside an impersonator saw the United States' top political journalists collapse into fits of laughter.
The US president lampooned himself for his infamous gaffes in public speaking and laughed as his diplomatic lapses and fondness for an early night were sent up by the comedian Steve Bridges.
Mr Bush took to the stage at Saturday's White House Correspondents' Association dinner alongside Bridges, who was made up to appear the spitting image of the president.
"Let's get things going," said Bridges/Bush, "or I'll never get to bed." The real Mr Bush then spoke of spreading his agenda "globally and around the world, as well as internationally".
Bridges, who appears as Mr Bush in satirical television programmes, then pretended to be the president practising for a major public statement, possibly about the Iranian nuclear crisis.
"All right. Maintain. Be cool. Let's give this a try," said Bridges/ Bush. "We must enhance non-compliance protocols sanctioned not only at IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] formal sessions, but through intercessional contact."
The president then sent the assembled correspondents into fits of laughter as he repeated: "We must enhance non-compliance protocols sanctioned not only at E-I-E-I-O sessions, but through intersexual conduct."
Bridges/Bush jokingly criticised the press for not tidying up some of his less eloquent comments: "The media really ticks me off - the way they try to embarrass me by not editing what I say. "
Bridges/Bush then added, as the president grinned: "Some of my critics in the international community call me arrogant. I will not even honour that with a response. Screw them!"
Bridges/Bush also picked on the vice-president, Dick Cheney, who accidentally shot an elderly lawyer friend while hunting."Where is the great white hunter?" the "president" asked. "He shot the only trial lawyer in the country who supports me."

Meaning is putting your bodies and families' peace of mind on the line to defeat some of the most evil, sick killers the world has ever known. Meaning is leaving the comfort of home to fight to make sure that there still will be a home for your family and for your nation and for free men and women everywhere. - Ben Stein

Looks like Snoop Dogg could be headed for the pound.
The rapper and five members of his 30-strong entourage were arrested on suspicion of "violent disorder and affray" (the British make even criminal charges sound cool) at London's Heathrow Airport Wednesday night after getting into a brawl with police and airport staff, injuring seven officers in the process.
BASED ON THIS, MY POSSE NEEDS TO BE UPPED TO AT LEAST FIFTY...ANY IDEAS FOR APPLICANTS?
The controversial prime minister of the Solomon Islands, Snyder Rini, has resigned. His appointment eight days ago sparked a wave of unrest in the capital of the South Pacific nation. The violence prompted several neighboring countries, including Australia to send in troops and police officers to restore order. Wait a daggone minute...I thought the United States was the world's only imperialist to send peacekeepers in the absence of UN Peacekeepers, aka, French prawns, I mean pawns.
It has been another dramatic day in the Solomon Islands. This Prime Minister lasted a week. If Hillary Clinton is elected, let's hope her reign of terror is shorter than Rini's.

His appointment last week sparked violent disturbances. Rioters particularly targeted the city's Chinatown district, because of allegations that Mr. Rini had used money from local Chinese businessmen to bribe his way into office. His strong denials did little to quell 48 hours of looting and arson. The violence was so extreme that hundreds of ethnic Chinese fled the country.
Australia, New Zealand and Fiji sent in peacekeepers to restore order.

Colleges and universities, like the institutions of free press and free speech, are supposed to carry out their "need to know" functions in a responsible manner. Practically everyone would agree that the basic purpose of a college or university is to create new knowledge and teach both old and new knowledge. Few would also disagree that academic freedom might be an appropriate tool for accomplishing that purpose. However, sometimes the exercise of intellectual dissent under the guise of academic freedom is misguided and just plain wrong. For example :

What we need is for all professors to take seriously the 1940 American Association of University Presidents' Statement of Principles, which cautions them "not to introduce into their teaching controversial matter which has no relation to their subject" and to "remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances."
BEIJING Apr 25, 2006 (AP)— A Chinese man who was attacked by a bear and had a partial face transplant is healing well, but his body could still reject tissue from a brain-dead patient used to give him a new nose, lip and cheek, state media reported Tuesday.
Li Guoxing, 30, had much of the right side of his face reconstructed by doctors at the Xijing Hospital in central China's Xi'an city during a 15-hour procedure on April 14.
The hospital said it was only the second time in the world that the complex procedure had been attempted.

NEW ORLEANS Apr 24, 2006 (AP)— The third-place finisher in the New Orleans mayoral race endorsed the runner-up, Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu, on Monday over Mayor Ray Nagin in next month's runoff election.
Ron Forman, head of the organization that runs New Orleans' zoo and aquarium, said Landrieu has his "full support" in the contest to decide who should lead the city in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
"Mitch Landrieu has the experience to implement a plan, to manage a plan and to rebuild our city," Forman said.
Forman said that his campaign was about the need for new leadership, and that Landrieu represents the best opportunity for change in a city that was struggling with poor schools and poverty even before the storm.
Forman, whose wife was Nagin's press secretary before the campaign, said of Nagin: "The man is tired. He's worn out, in my opinion."

TEHRAN, April 24 (Xinhua) -- Iran's flinty President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Monday that his country would not accept a call from the UN Security Council to suspend its nuclear activities before this Friday.
"They shouldn't think they can baptize a wrong decision with the help of the Security Council. Change your decision and we'll sit and talk," Ahmadinejad told a press conference, dismissing a Security Council call for a suspension of its nuclear activities before a deadline that expires this Friday.
The UN Security Council has demanded that Iran suspend all uranium enrichment activities by April 28, which was rejected by Tehran.
Meanwhile, Ahmadinejad said at Monday's press conference that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) should work based on justice or if not face to face with an AK-47.
Bin Laden has no clue what a viperpit he is getting into tangling with THAT bunch. The confusion alone could cause his surrender.
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. diplomats brushed aside on Monday a call by Osama bin Laden for Muslims to rise up against the West in Sudan, and vowed to go ahead with plans to send peacekeepers to the embattled Darfur region.
"The comments made by this guy (are) always, always negative. We should not be influenced by whatever comments he made," said Chinese Ambassador Wang Guangya, the Security Council president for April.
U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said: "That's a mark of bin Laden's desperation and certainly won't affect our planning."
The al Qaeda leader, in an audio tape broadcast on Al Jazeera television, said the United States and Britain, by pushing for a U.N. force in Darfur, were plotting to dismember Sudan. He urged his followers to rise up against them.
"I call on the mujahideen and their supporters in Sudan ... and the Arabian peninsula to prepare all that is necessary to wage a long-term war against the Crusaders in western Sudan," bin Laden said.
He called the United Nations an "infidel body" and "a tool to implement Crusader-Zionist resolutions" including measures aimed at dividing and occupying Muslim lands.

Such is the case with Dr. Julio Pino, associate professor of Latin American history and his blog Global War. On his blog he instructs the local jihadi on how to train himself for jihad, carries links praising the 19 who carried out the WTC attacks and praises those who carry out homicide attacks on Israel.
Julio Cèsar Pino is an outspoken apologist for Palestinian terrorism.
A 2000 convert to Islam--Pino's Muslim name is Assad Jibril Pino--he has embraced the most extreme interpretation of his adoptive religion. Thus, in an April 2002 guest column for the Kent State campus newspaper, Pino penned an effusive tribute to Ayat al-Akras, the 18-year-old Palestinian female suicide bomber who murdered an Israeli teen and a security guard at a Jerusalem supermarket on March 29, 2002. In the column, titled "Singing out prayer for a youth martyr," Pino insisted that Akras was no terrorist but had "died a martyr's death…in occupied Jerusalem, Palestine." Praising Akras' final act of homicide, Pino said that "it is pronounced 'justice' and spelled C-O-U-R-A-G-E" and added, "May Allah elevate your place in paradise." Pino also excoriated President Bush as a "numbskull," and called for boycotts of all Israeli and American products.
Earlier, in 2001, Pino had publicly inveighed against the alleged "genocide of the Palestinians." He later justified his remarks by saying that they were of a piece with "practicing Islam and fulfilling its obligations." Pino also claimed that as a result of those remarks, he was "subject to defamation, harassment, and even death threats in my office," and moreover that this treatment was "fairly standard fare for most Muslims in America."
In 2005, Pino wrote another controversial letter to his campus newspaper, this time praising University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill and condemning his critics. Pino lauded Churchill for his "righteous obsession with European and American genocide and terrorism against peoples of color all over the world, from 1492 to 2001." The Cuba-born Pino also claimed that during the Cuban missile crisis, John F. Kennedy had planned a "genocide against the Cuban people;" that President Bill Clinton had killed "more than 500,000 Iraqi children" via sanctions against Iraq; and that President George W. Bush, whom Pino called a "cocaine cowboy," had "added an extra 100,000 corpses to the pile of brown colored corpses." Pino referred to his students at Kent State as his "beloved Taliban," and concluded that "In an America rapidly descending toward Christian fascism, we need more Ward Churchills."
Pino has said that his worldview is animated by his "unfulfilled need to bring social justice to the world." A similar philosophy operates in the classes he teaches at Kent State. Pino compels his students to approach the study of Latin American history from the perspective of leftist "Third World" politics, which he identifies with such revolutionaries as Fidel Castro and the Sandinista regimes of Central America. The names of his courses--for instance, "Comparative Third World Revolutions" and "The Sixties: A Third World View"--reflect the worldviews that form the basis of Pinot classroom instruction. An uncritical supporter of the Sandinistas, Pino blames the political upheavals of Central America wholly on the "daily" butchery of "American-trained death-squads." Pino admits that, under his guidance, students echo his pro-Sandinista biases. After assigning a one-sided book on Central America, Pino noted approvingly that "[s]tudent essays based on this book have focused on how far the Sandinistas succeeded in building a society free of class exploitation and gender inequality."
Similarly, in teaching courses on the history of Cuba, Pino asks his students to consider the Cuban revolution in a favorable light. "The essays I have asked student [sic] to write have focused on the positive economic and psychological transformations brought about by the 1959 revolution," Pino has written. Pino has said that Castro's rise to power "brought justice" to Cuba.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned last week that the Iranian army would "cut off the hand of any aggressor."
Missing from the major list of hot spots Abbas intends to plague, I mean go to is Denmark of all places. Isn't Assbas (sp?) a big talking Denmark hater at home in Palestine. He is not man enough to appear in Denmark and back up his words.
ANKARA - Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas arrived in Turkey on Sunday on the first leg of a European tour to discuss stalled talks for Middle East peace and aid to his cash-strapped people.
"We will tell our Turkish brothers what is happening in the Palestinian territories," Abbas told reporters upon his arrival, the Anatolia news agency reported.
"We will talk about political problems and the difficult economic conditions there. We will talk about what Turkey can do," he added.
The Palestinian leader is set to meet Turkish President Ahmet Necdet Sezer, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul along with other senior officials before leaving on Tuesday.
Abbas is hoping that his tour -- which will also take him to Norway, Finland and France -- will help convince donor countries to resume sending aid to his people in order to overcome a long-standing financial crisis.
The crisis has been aggravated since the European Union and the United States suspended all direct aid after the new Palestinian government, led by the radical Islamic group Hamas, was sworn in last month.
Sorry Osama old buddy...this one is a yawner...is Michael Jackson's attorney writing this nonsense for you?
DUBAI: Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden said the West's shunning of the Hamas-led Palestinian Government showed it was waging a "Crusader-Zionist war" on Muslims, according to an audiotape attributed to him and aired yesterday.
People in the West share responsibility for their countries' "war against Islam." said the speaker, who sounded like bin Laden, on the tape broadcast on Al-Jazeera television.
The Saudi-born militant said the Darfur crisis in western Sudan and Western efforts to isolate the Palestinian Government since Hamas won January elections were part of this campaign.
"Their rejection of Hamas affirms that it is a Crusader-Zionist war against Muslims," bin Laden said.
In the brief excerpts of the tape that Al-Jazeera aired, he did not repeat his assertion in an audiotape issued in January that al-Qaida was preparing attacks in the United States but was open to a conditional truce with Americans.
But his remarks about the complicity of Westerners in the policies of their governments appeared to be an argument that they were fair game for revenge attacks by militants.
"The war is a responsibility shared between the people and the governments. The war goes on and the people are renewing their allegiance to its rulers and masters," bin Laden said.
"They send their sons to armies to fight us and they continue their financial and moral support while our countries are burned and our houses are bombed and our people are killed."
The Qaida leader, on the run since the US campaign to oust Afghanistan's Taliban government in 2001 after the September 11 attacks, said Western leaders had ignored his truce offers.
"They do not want a truce unless it is from our side only ... they insist on continuing their Crusader campaign against our nation and to loot our wealth," bin Laden said.
He urged militants to prepare for a long struggle in Darfur. The United States is pressing for UN sanctions against the Sudanese Government for its part in the conflict.
"I call on mujahideen and their supporters in Sudan ... and the (Arabian) Peninsula to prepare all that is necessary to wage a long-term war against the Crusaders in western Sudan," bin Laden said, accusing the West of seeking to divide Sudan.
An Islamist government in Khartoum hosted bin Laden for several years in the 1990s.
The Darfur conflict erupted in 2003 when mostly non-Arab tribes revolted, accusing the Arab-led government of neglect.
Bin Laden also called for boycotting the United States and European countries over the controversial cartoons lampooning Islam's Prophet Mohammad first published by a Danish newspaper.

Bill Moyer, 73, wears a protective flap over his ear during Kennedy travesty.
Do some people have nothing to do or what? Ben and Jerry's are total wusses for submitting to this CRAP.
DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ice cream makers Ben & Jerry's have apologized for causing offence by calling a new flavor "Black & Tan" -- the nickname of a notoriously violent British militia that operated during Ireland's war of independence.
The ice cream, available only in the United States, is based on an ale and stout drink of the same name.
"Any reference on our part to the British Army unit was absolutely unintentional and no ill-will was ever intended," said a Ben & Jerry's spokesman.
"Ben & Jerry's was built on the philosophies of peace and love," he added.
The Black and Tans, so-called because of their two-tone uniforms, were recruited in the early 1920s to bolster the ranks of the police force in Ireland as anti-British sentiment grew.
They quickly gained a reputation for brutality

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor Charlie Sheen was ordered on Friday to keep at least 300 feet away from his estranged wife, actress Denise Richards, and their two young daughters after Richards said in court papers he had been abusive and had threatened to kill her.
Sheen, star of the hit CBS television series "Two and a Half Men," denied the charge and the judge agreed to his request that all telephone conversations between the couple be tape recorded.
Sheen was also granted one-day-a-week visitation with his daughters, Sam, 2, and Lola, 10 months, provided it was done under supervision.
The restraining order is the latest chapter in the stormy marriage between Sheen, a one-time playboy, and model/actress Richards, 35, who filed for divorce from him last December, after less than three years of marriage.
According to a written declaration to the court, Richards said she had considered asking for restraining orders against the 40-year-old actor several times but was talked out of it because she was told that "by my doing so, I would impact (Sheen's) image and cause others to lose their jobs.
"I am filing this now because I can no longer accept (his) abusive and threatening manner and must stop him from the cycle of his abuse toward me and our children and his continued threats of violence and statements that he is going to kill me."
Richards said Sheen, the son of actor Martin Sheen, abused prescription drugs, gambled compulsively, frequented prostitutes and liked to look at pornography on the Internet.
Sheen, in court papers, denied Richards' claims. In a statement on the entertainment Web site TMZ.com, Sheen's publicist, Stan Rosenfield said, "For the last year, Charlie Sheen has been hit with these ridiculous charges over and over and over again and has chosen to be a respectful gentleman and just respond with no comment."
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - New Orleanians voted on Saturday in their battered city's first post-Katrina election, facing the tough choice of staying with Mayor Ray Nagin and his vision for rebuilding or opting for new blood. Ray Nagin expressed his displeasure regarding Cynthia McKinney's 11th hour apprearance in New Orleans and her endorsement of Nagin. "Based on all my screw ups and the stupid things I have said and done, it would have been an upset if I won. Now, I am filling out Wal-Mart, Wendy's Seven Eleven, and Dunkin Donuts applications as fast as I can."
Polls opened after dawn for what many community leaders are calling the most important election in the nearly three-century history of the city known as the birthplace of jazz, which was devastated by the hurricane nearly eight months ago.
At stake is the speed and shape of the massive recovery amid concerns over the strength of the levees before the next storm, drained city coffers, racial tension and questions about whether some badly damaged neighborhoods will get rebuilt.
The local election has garnered global attention, partly due to the huge task in providing access to voters with more than half the city's population still displaced across the country.
Some voters said they felt a deep responsibility to cast their ballots, given the need for strong leadership to move past the crisis. Pre-Katrina voter turnouts were low.
"I think with the diaspora that's happened after Katrina, people who come back are going to be very dedicated. I care a lot about the future of New Orleans," Luisa Adelfio, an arts-sector worker who lost her job after the hurricane, said as she left a voting precinct in the Uptown neighborhood.
"And I hope people who are far away and are intending to come back are also facilitated for voting," said Adelfio, 41.
Nagin, who is black and has been New Orleans' face to the world since Katrina flooded 80 percent of the city, was criticized for a shaky initial response and more recently for saying rebuilding plans should favor the black community.
Some retired deputy sheriffs went to a retreat in the mountains. To save money, they decided to sleep two to a room. No one wanted to room with Daryl because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn't fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.
The first deputy slept with Daryl and comes to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. They said, "Man, what happened to you?" He said, "Daryl snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night."
The next night it was a different deputy's turn. In the morning, same thing--hair all standing up, eyes all blood-shot. They said, "Man, what happened to you? You look awful!" He said, "Man, that Daryl shakes the roof. I watched him all night."
The third night was Frank's turn. Frank was a big burly ex-football player; a man's man. The next morning he came to breakfast bright eyed and bushy tailed. "Good morning." They couldn't believe it! They said, "Man, what happened?" He said, "Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Daryl into bed and kissed him good night. He sat up and watched me all night long."
