Pardon me, Happy Thanksgiving

In the news: President Bush pardons two turkeys in a White House ceremony, continuing a long standing White House tradition. One turkey was physically present to at the ceremony.

The other turkey was at a "secure, undisclosed location."

Bush's stomach?

He's a witch!

The P.C. police:

A North Dakota middle school class was stopped from seeing the new "Harry Potter" movie due to concerns raised about the film's references to witchcraft, which the protesters said was a religion, and by allowing the children to see the movie it would violate separation of church and state, and why can't we lock these people up?

You'll never guess the end

In the news: Forces overthrow most of Taliban's control

In the news: Talks begin on how to setup Afghanistan's new government

In the news: Northern Alliance members say they will not allow foreigners to patrol Afghanistan

In the news: UN plots plan to create a temporary government to take over administration of Kabul from the Northern Alliance

Oh yeah. This is going to turn out well.

Forget about it

The History Channel has redefined what the word history means because of recent events. Something is now history after 15 days.

So how long before we can forget about the Harry Potter movie?

That's comforting

CNN wants you to know that you can count on it "more than ever," because they were apparently not dependable before.

Big Brother is watching

The American Civil Liberties Union is fighting an airport in California that is using face recognition technology to search for possible terrorists saying they are more likely to accidentally stop someone than to find a terrorist and that the system can be easily defeated with simple face wear such as sunglasses.

About time somebody tries to stop the madness.

Cut!

"If all the world's a stage, and all the people are merely players, who are the producers? And why don't I get paid? And as an afterthought... I'd hate to be the lighting guy behind the sun... but I'd get a good tan."

The producer is President Bush. You don't get paid because you don't have a job. And the best way to prevent skin cancer is to avoid exposure to the sun.

The bright surface of the sun is called the photosphere, by the way.

A duel is the only way to settle this

Smokey writes in:

"My gerbil is smarter than YOUR gerbil."

RT doesn't know about that. RT's gerbil is pretty smart.

Very funny

According to a new study, humor improves your health. Researchers also found that merely anticipating a funny event improves a person's mood.
