C'mon Beagle 2, You Can Do It!!!
Everyone muster up their psychic energies and beam them to lonely little Beagle 2, currently sitting on the surface of Mars but too bashful to call home. Read about it, here. Beagle 2 landed on Christmas but we've received no transmissions from the probe. What's those Martians' problem, anyway?

Donald Rumsfeld Loves Saddam Hussein
Even after the international baddie Hussein used chemical weapons on the Kurds on an almost daily basis, Rummy still loved him. Newly declassified documents tell the whole disgraceful tale. Read it here, from the Independent. Rummy went to Iraq at the behest of Ronnie Reagan to let Hussein know the USA only disapproved of the chemical attacks because we were forced to. Rummy and all the other soulless villainswho concocted the new Iraq war have some soul-searching to do. If we were a country that valued integrity, truth, justice, or freedom, a villain like Rumsfeld would be run out on a rail. Rumsfeld should resign immediately.

Saha And Viduka Sought By Manchester United
The French striker Louis Saha, who plays for Fulham, and the Leeds United Aussie striker Mark Viduka, are on the Christmas list of Premiership champions Manchester United. Fulham boss Coleman says Saha is out "over my dead body." Leeds is facing relegation and could use the cash, but if they unload their top striker, how will their relegation battle turn out? Read it here, from the Independent. Is it all posturing, to raise their prices? We'll have to see what turns up in Man Utd's stocking.

Mad Cow USA
We warned you, now it's happened. The first case of Mad Cow Disease in the USA is now a fact. Read about it, here. Want to avoid the brain-wasting disease? STOP EATING MEAT.

Jack White: The Lord Of The Ring
Jack White recently beat the crap out of Von Bondies' singer Jason Stollsteimer. See the damage done to Jason's face, here. White turned himself into Detroit police and if all goes wrong for him, could face a year in jail. Read about that, here. The courts will decide if White acted in self-defense (as he claims) or if he attacked Stollsteimer after the latter refused to fight him. We think Jack and Jason should have teamed up and beaten the crap out of some rockers who really deserve it. Fight shitty music together. Maybe the pressure of being the unerring boy genius of the moment is finally getting to Jack. Remember what that sort of hype and pressure did to Kurt Cobain? The photos of Stollsteimer should serve as ample warning: give Jack some space!

Beagle 2 Inbound!
The UK space mission, Beagle 2, is on schedule to land on Mars on Christmas Day. Read about this exciting mission, here. Why have so many Mars missions failed? Well, everyone knows that Phobos, one of Mars' "moons" (they are technically asteroids, not moons) is an artificial satellite, likely hollow and lofted into orbit by Martians, and it's also painfully obvious that the Martians don't want us nosing around. Stay tuned!

Seinfeldian Tragedy
Kramer, Elaine, and George won't give on-camera interviews for an upcoming DVD release of the "Seinfeld" series. Read it here, from NY Times. Their reason? They declined because they weren't given a "piece of the action" and thought, why should they "make other people richer." The answer, as all you working stiffs know, is because they're already millionaires several times over, for fuck's sake! They were lucky when they were picked to be Jerry Seinfeld's buddies. They won the lottery, getting over $600,000 per show. All Seinfeld fans know and love those 3, but give me a fucking break. Maybe Jason Alexander should go back to hawking Kentucky Fried, or he, Richards and Dreyfuss can take another stab at their own shows, which were all unmitigated disasters. Seinfeld was the star. Take your millions, your fame, the good will of the fans, do the goddamn interviews, and fuck off.

Limbaugh: Sad, Pathetic, Lonely Fraud
So this right-wing blowhard hate-monger who has made millions of dollars and fans by bashing drug users and anyone "soft" on crime, now has the shoe on the other foot. Limbaugh went into rehab for his prescription drug addiction but still refuses to accept responsibility. He still lashes out at "Democrats" for his drug problem controversy, like a naughty schoolboy caught red-handed. Isn't one of Rush's big hypocrisies that he contantly harps on people for not taking responsibility, for blaming their woes on others? Admit it, Rush, you are no better than the millions of drug users you heap scorn upon. Yours is an empire built on hate and distortions of truth. Now the crows have come home to roost. Read about Rush, here. We're supposed to feel sad and sorry for poor Rush's "back pain" even though the number of drugs he bought and took over a four-month period could have kept him drugged up 24 hours a day for 14 years. Face it Rush, you're a drug addict. You should get help, you should have treatment. Come clean and admit your entire act is bullshit. You have now seen, with your own drug-addled eyes, that treatment beats incarceration. So shut the fuck up, only idiots still believe in your righteous indignation or your sermonizing. Your game is up, Rush. You're a sad, pathetic fraud.
