Oh thank God

Jedi Knights can have sex after all, according to George Lucas. Speculation that the warriors were supposed to live a monk-like existence has been rife since Attack Of The Clones, came out. Lucas says it's romance, rather than hanky panky, which is banned by the Jedi code. He says, "Jedi Knights aren't celibate - the thing that is forbidden is attachments - and possessive relationships."

Hurl Alert!!!!

Believe it or not, Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Insane) no longer sees red when he tunes in to CNN. - from http://www.rollcall.com/pages/news/00/2002/06/news0606e.html.

DeLay, who in the past has referred to CNN as the Communist News Network or the Clinton News Network and routinely groused that its coverage was blatantly liberal, had surprisingly kind words for the cable network when new AOL Time Warner Inc. CEORichard Parsons came calling at the closed-door House Republican leadership meeting Tuesday.

With AOL Time Warner stock continuing to slide this week, Parsons visited House and Senate leaders Tuesday to introduce himself to Members and boost the embattled media conglomerate's profile on Capitol Hill.

It was the second time in nine months that a top executive at AOL Time Warner has courted Capitol Hill leaders. Yuck. I can't post anymore on this crap. Go to the link above if you want to read more. Geeezus.
