Japan is set to take control of the International Whaling Commission. While the world has been looking the other way, the Japanese have spent nearly a decade and many millions of dollars building up a voting majority in the IWC, by buying the votes of small member states with substantial foreign aid packages. Commercial whaling has been banned for more than 20 years and it is Japan’s goal to reinstate the practice. This will spell disaster for the whale population which is just starting to recover. Please excuse the picture (I couldn’t resist), this is a serious issue.

Neil Young has recorded an album that is all about the war in Iraq. It is evidently backed by a 100 voice choir throughout the album. On a track entitled, ‘Impeach The President’ he goes after the man he holds responsible. Look for the album “Living With War”, in stores soon. The whole thing was written and recording in secret, so very little is known about it at this point, but it sounds amazing!

I will continue giving Bush a hard time as long as I have reason to. In Bush’s recent speaches about the war he says that up until 9/11 America felt protected by the oceans separating it from the threats it faced. That’s complete and udder bologna and he knows it! Everyone his generation grew up having air raid drills constantly, everybody had a fallout shelter ready. The threat that nuclear missiles could land in our country has been very real for more than 50 years. So what the hell is he talking about? It’s obvious that he wants to expand police powers to counter this “new” threat to our homeland.

Check out this great article, about how stupid Bush thinks we are.

A corporate trainer came to visit a Hooters in Alabama and allegedly told the girls working there they were “the ones with the pussys and you are in control because of that.” Then she reportedly added, “If you need the extra money, go ahead and suck a dick or fuck a customer if the money is right.” The waitresses complained to the assistant manager, and he got fired for telling the owner. He is now suing.

Next time you go to Hooters and your babe asks you if you want dessert, you know what to say!

This guy is The Nerd’s man of the day, brilliant!

I really wanted to go into the weekend on an upbeat, but there is so much crap in the news today that screwed that up.

Washington Post reported today that we are using accounting tricks for the budget so instead of the $300 billion shortfall, it is actually over $700 billion, beginning a decade from now, the shortfalls explode in what Cooper calls “a perfect storm” of fiscal ruin.

And in other news, the president of Iran again lashed out at Israel on Friday and said it was “heading toward annihilation,” just days after Tehran raised fears about its nuclear activities by saying it successfully enriched uranium for the first time.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called Israel a “permanent threat” to the Middle East that will “soon” be liberated. He also appeared to again question whether the Holocaust really happened.
