I've been a news fiend lately.. and here are some links over the past few days that have caught my attention:

USA Today's story on George Bush's visit to Iraq for Thanksgiving Dinner was one of the first to break and also one of the best.

China is realeasing Chairman Mao's rhetoric as a hip hop album. Watch for kids in your neighbourhood to be bumpin' some MAo in the next weeks.. the illest hip hopper ... straight outta Shanghai.

oh.. this is hillarious. A United Kingdom police station has put up audio files of stupid 999 calls (911 in north america) on their website... to show ppl how many stupid calls they get for stuff that does not require any police assitance. My favorite is the man who's wife did not leave him any food before she left.

This particular is link is VERY DISTURBING!!! Please do not read this news story if you know that bad news stories trouble you. This is not for everyone. It disturbed me for quite some time and still does. However, I feel that the purpose of news is to inform. Therefore, I am putting this link up.. I was quite sad and disgusted when I first read it. But looking back at it, I am glad I know that this stuff happens in our world.. Child Rapists in Zambia might face castration..

Just for the record... I think these assholes should be castrated. People like these have no human rights as far as I am concerned. Moreover, UNICEF and UNESCO should really look into educating people in Zambia about this matter. If you read the story, you know what I mean.

This news story is also a bit gruesome.. German Cannibal expresses regret.

that's all I can think of for now... maybe more later..
