Hootie & the Blowfish Endorse Edwards
COLUMBIA, S.C. - Hootie & the Blowfish have endorsed Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards, who hails from the state where the rock band got its start.
What do the two groups have in common?
One hit wonders.
Top Ten Words of 2003:
#1: "Embedded"
Rah - it even beat out "blog."
:(
Also, "What Up?" was presented as #1 in the Top Ten list of Youthspeak Words, while "Bling bling" was upgraded from Youthspeak to standard slang.
Oh, the humanity.
Man beaten in checkout line dispute
A 22-year-old Berwyn man was pummeled with a baseball bat and beaten by as many as four people after a dispute over a place in line at a Forest Park Wal-Mart.
Alright, Wally-Word PR department: Try and put a smiley face on this one...
Down the Chimney he fell
A Minneapolis man's imitation of old St. Nick on Christmas Eve brought cheer only to police and fire rescuers, who had to stifle chuckles while rescuing him from the narrow chimney of a bookstore in the city's Phillips neighborhood.
[The man] also earned himself a lump of coal: burglary charges.
The stranger-than-fiction events began when Don Blyly arrived Thursday morning at his Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction/Uncle Edgar's Mystery bookstore at 2864 Chicago Ave. S.
Around 9:15 a.m., Blyly heard a strange sound. It seemed to come from the ceiling, near the chimney.
Mind you, this was Christmas morning.
But the sound wasn't a jolly fat man in a red suit — it turned out to be a half-naked 34-year-old ex-con, squished for hours in the cold, narrow passage, calling out for help.
Hehehe.... fat ass.
Source: U.S. wants to question Air France no-shows
WASHINGTON -- U.S. officials say investigators would like to talk to people who did not show up for the postponed Air France flights -- and are still interested in 13 passengers who were interviewed by French authorities.
French sources have told CNN they believe the names of all 13 -- interviewed by French law enforcement -- were on U.S. terror watch lists. American authorities have not confirmed that, but one senior U.S. counterterrorism official tells CNN that most of the names of those interviewed and those of interest who did not show up for their flights were on watch lists.
Oh for the love of God - do we really need to ask about this one??
GO USA! We finally caught an attack in progress! YAY!

O, star of wonder, star of might,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to the perfect light.

Texas Tech Responds to Comments Made by Coach Bob Knight
Knight: "Let me answer that. That is an absolute crock of [expletive]," said Knight, who used a variety of profanities while riffing on the subject. "All you media people can go [expletive] yourself when it comes to something like that."

Welcome To The Annual NORAD Tracks Santa Website!
Let's hope this is the only thing out government lies about over the holidays...
On behalf of everyone here @ BewilderedSociety.com:
-Santa's still not real.
-Your parents still lied.
-I only got a few of my friends gifts.
-You're dreaming if you think we'll be burried in snow.
But, have a Merry Christmas...
...just remember the reason for the season.
I've been noticing some .mil domains on my IP log lately. (For those of you tech-challenged, it's a lil thing I have that tells me how many hits I get, where they come from, and where the people are.)
Anyway - whoever you .mil people are, thank you for visiting.
Now, get back to kicking some terrorist ass.

Change gathered at Cedar Point totaled $7,000:
SANDUSKY -- Cedar Point workers gathered up all the change that had fallen from guests' pockets while at the amusement park, including money from the fountains.
It added up to $7,000.
The amusement park donated the money to a local organization which benefits kids.
Or we could use it to lower admission prices!
Okay, fine, give it to the kids...
Security clampdownat airports, landmarks
As the Pentagon resumed round-the-clock combat jet air patrols over New York, Washington and Los Angeles and planned random patrols over other major U.S. cities, a man with a hacksaw blade and a razor blade in his shoe was arrested Monday at Miami International Airport.
Police said David McIntyre, 38, who was traveling with his wife and children, set off metal detectors as he tried to board a flight. He was charged with carrying a concealed weapon.
It's amazing what the government likes to keep from telling us...

Santa Gets OK To Fly Over U.S.
WASHINGTON -- Santa Claus has the OK to fly over the United States on Christmas Eve.
Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta has approved a flight certificate for Kris Kringle -- also known as Santa Claus.
Surrounded by children at a news conference, Mineta says the department's legal office reviewed Santa's flyover request, and letters of support from children all over the country.
He says Santa is fit for duty and has a perfect delivery record. And he noted that Santa has a special navigation light on the nose of his lead reindeer, Rudolph.
But how will the incresed terror threat affect Santa's flight?
HMMM?
The U.S. Soldier Is Time Person of Year
The American soldier, who bears the duty of "living with and dying for a country's most fateful decisions," was named Sunday as Time magazine's Person of the Year.
Time's person the year: Now with three people on the cover.
Nation's Threat Level Raised From Yellow To Orange
The government on Sunday raised the national threat level to orange, the second-highest, saying attacks were possible during the holiday season and that threat indicators are "perhaps greater now than at any point" since Sept. 11, 2001.
I'm buying into this one, for once.
