    Both of these are actual stories from today's news:

    Iraqi Embassy in Brazil Burns Documents

    BRASILIA, Brazil - Iraqi Embassy employees in Brasilia started burning documents Wednesday after TV stations broadcast images of a Saddam Hussein statue being toppled in Baghdad, police said.



    "It's all lies," said the official, Abdu Saif. "We are only burning garbage and recently cut grass."



    Knife thrower slices assistant live on TV

    LONDON (Reuters) - A record-breaking knife thrower shocked viewers when one of his daggers sliced into the head of his assistant on live TV.



    "In 11 years of performing, I've only hit my assistant on five occasions," he told the Daily Mail recently.

    The article says:
    • Circus performer Jayde Hanson, 23, was demonstrating his skills when one of his knives hit his assistant and girlfriend, 22-year-old Yana Rodianova on Thursday.
    But it now should say:
    • Circus performer Jayde Hanson, 23, was demonstrating his skills when one of his knives hit his assistant and former girlfriend, 22-year-old Yana Rodianova on Thursday.

    Perhaps what he meant to say was, ".....we are only burning garbage to cover our ass"???



    Anyway, here's another one from Justice Kennedy:

    "Two million people in prison is just unacceptable," Kennedy said during a hearing on the Supreme Court's budget.

    (I'm hoping someone will inform him that the vast majority of these people happen to be incarcerated because they committed things we typically refer to as "crimes", some of which were "serious crimes").

    Jeff: Multumesc foarte mult for pointing out that Ba'athism is a form of Fascism (or national-socialism). Been saying this for years and everybody thought I was nuts; reading Michel Aflaq makes it all as clear as, oh, a knife in the head.

    A short time later, a man who answered the phone at the embassy said only, "I'm not working now" and hung up.

    Possibly a member of Teamsters on his coffee break:D

    No, probably it was Mikey Harris (a real faithful family man) since he's not working now. (Not that he worked before...)
