WTF Is It Now?!?

QUOTES OF THE DAY:
"My friend saw a headline that said, 'Bush meets with task force on corporate fraud.' We both laughed uncontrollably. How is that news? Bush has been meeting with his task force on corporate fraud since the early eighties." - From the BuzzFlash mailbag.

"The president's speech last week on business reform was a test of whether this country still can muster a gag reflex." - Edward Wasserman, the Miami Herald.

"Vice President Dick Cheney has spent most of the past year in hiding, ostensibly from terrorists, but increasingly it seems obvious that it is Congress, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the media and the public he fears. And for good reason." - Robert Scheer, Los Angeles Times.





WTF IS SO F*CKING FUNNY??
The new TIME is reporting that Bunnypants joked his way through a 30-minute prep session prior to last week's speech/press bootlicking on corporate irresponsibility. Clueless dork. I'm surprised he didn't work his damn trifecta joke into the speech.


UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
Why are George W. Bush's business dealings relevant? Given that his aides tout his "character," the public deserves to know that he became wealthy entirely through patronage and connections. But more important, those dealings foreshadow many characteristics of his administration, such as its obsession with secrecy and its intermingling of public policy with private interest. - Read more in Paul Krugman's column at The New York Times.



HEADLINE OF THE DAY:
"MAN WHO HAD SEX WITH UNDERWEAR-CLAD DOGS FORCED TO FLEE"
A man has been forced to flee his Canadian home after having sex with two dogs he dressed in women's underwear. The man, who cannot be identified, has moved from British Columbia to Winnipeg where he's being watched by a police sex-crime unit. Both dogs were found dead and wearing bra and panties. One was found in a garage, hanging from the rafters, the other in a ditch near the man's home.

An unnamed officer said: "He feared for his safety and got permission to move here and we're stuck with the sick bastard." - From Ananova.


Bonus: "ASTRONOMERS SEE COLORFUL GAS CLOUDS BUBBLE OUT OF URANUS"


"There's a blind German psychic who can read peoples' futures by feeling their naked buttocks. It's called asstrology." - Leno.
