It's official, Batboy has cleared his schedule and is being escorted around town by Black SUVs. His press office had no comment. This comes as a surprise to some who remember that Batboy offered his coveted endorsement to Al Gore in 2000.

A group of filmmakers claim to have successfully captured Sweden’s legendary Great Lake Sea Monster (Storsjöodjuret), which is said to lurk in the waters of the Storsjön outside Östersund in northern Sweden. A film crew which set up cameras on one of the lake’s islets last spring now say that they have an image of the seamonster, according to Svergies Television. The film clip shows a blurry, long and narrow silhouette moving in the lake’s depths. “It clearly shows that it’s warm and is made up of cells, otherwise our cameras wouldn’t indicate red, so it can be a sea...

Let it be known on this day that I predict Michelle Obama will come up pregnant before the election. Where would I get such a crazy idea? Hillary! That's right, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Let's see who can remember this gem from 1996. In the run up to the 1996 primaries, the polls were not looking so great for the Clintons and they had no idea there was a cake walk ahead of them. Although the Republicans were riding the "Contract with America" wave, Bob Dole was just beginning to spend his war chest fighting off party rivals, even though everyone...

A man who chose "Lloyds is pants" as his telephone banking password said he found it had been changed by a member of staff to "no it's not".Steve Jetley, from Shrewsbury, said he chose the password after falling out with Lloyds TSB over insurance that came free with an account. He said he was then banned from changing it back or to another password of "Barclays is better".

A question for the better informed: If a VP drops out during a Presidency, does the President then get to choose whomever he wants? Has it ever happened in our fabulous nation's history?

Received on 27 August 2008 by U.S. Mail. My personal comments are in red. August 18, 2008 [name/address] Dear Friend, (I'm not your friend) In the past you have served as a valued and trusted member of our Party. (only when we need your vote and your donation) Yet today — only 12 weeks from the most critical elections our nation has faced in decades — the RNC's records indicate that you still remain on the sidelines (who said I was on the sidelines?) and have yet to respond to appeals to stand with us in our fight to prevail...

A woman who allegedly defecated inside the sanctuary of Tullytown's St. Michael the Archangel Church in February believed her feces would rid the parish of a hex, a police officer testified Tuesday. The hex had something to do with 528 dead children the woman believed were buried between St. Mike's and a nearby Dunkin' Donuts on Levittown Parkway, the officer added. That, as far as Tullytown police officer Nate Aldsworth could tell, was Sandralee Banks-Kastrup's motivation for allegedly wreaking havoc this winter on the parish and its community. Aldsworth testified Tuesday morning at the preliminary hearing for Banks-Kastrup, a 40-year-old...

STOCKHOLM (AFP) - An elderly woman misunderstood instructions while checking in at Sweden's main airport and was whisked down a baggage chute after she placed herself instead of her luggage on the belt, media reported Wednesday.

The principal of an Islamic boarding school on Buffalo’s East Side has been forced to resign after allegations that he was sexually involved with one of his students and that he claimed to have taken her as a second wife. Evidence suggests Mohammed Ibrahim Memon, a father of seven, persuaded Sajidah Khan, then 21, to marry under Islamic law as a pretense to sleep with her. Memon, an Islamic scholar and imam, has agreed to leave his post at Darul-Uloom Al-Madania, 182 Sobieski St., for a minimum of seven years. The private, Islamic secondary school and institute of higher learning...

Bombay pours 42,000 litres of deodorant into city dumps Each day, large quantities of Sanil Supreme, a sweet-smelling herbal spray, will be squirted into the massive Deonar and Mulund landfill sites to combat the foul smell. It has been ordered by Ahmad Karim, the head of the city's solid waste management division, who hopes to bring relief to the 400,000 people who live on the edge of the two sites. The Deonar dump, which was first set up by the British in 1927, covers more than 297 acres and locals have filed a petition with the High Court complaining about...

HARLAN, Ky. — Politicians are known for lame jokes. But when Otis "Bullman" Hensley tried a generations-old Appalachian jest on a woman and two girls at the grocery store, the family thought it was downright criminal. [. . .] He could have faced as many as 10 years in prison, but a charge of attempted unlawful transaction with a minor was dismissed on Monday. The ordeal began last week when Hensley's wife sent him to a local grocery store to buy ground beef. While there, Hensley encountered a woman with her two nieces, ages 11 and 13. "I offered to...

A three-metre (10-foot) python has killed a student zookeeper who let the snake out of its enclosure in Venezuela while working a night shift at the zoo. Horrified employees at the Caracas zoo discovered the Burmese Python as it tried to swallow its victim's head. "The young man underestimated the animal's instinct,"

As a burglar, John Pearce thinks nothing of turning his victims' homes upside down. But this time it was the house that turned him the wrong way up. Attempting a daylight raid, the 32-year-old somehow got his foot caught after smashing his way through the front window of a Victorian terrace home at 6pm. Unable to free himself, Pearce was left hanging upside down in the window frame for more than an hour as a crowd of 30 neighbours and passers-by gathered to ridicule him in Dartford, Kent....

THEY met on the local hot rod scene. They saw one another at tattoo conventions around the area, comparing bikes. They looked like heavies, a band of Hells Angels, with nicknames equally tough: Mike Tattoo, Big Ant, Johnny O, Batso, Sal, Angel, Des. They meant no harm. Clad in leather, inked to the hilt in skulls and dragons, with images of bloodied barbed wire looped about their necks, they shared something else — a peculiar tenderness for animals, and the intensity needed to act on the animals’ behalf when people abuse them.

There was a thread like this on another forum, and it was kinda fun. People were listing the things they would like to have accomplished in their lives, and there were some pretty neat ideas. Try to stay away from thinks like "Having sex with ten Chinese women" (cause after all, who doesn't want to do that).

What will Chuck Norris wear to John McCain's inauguration? His best combat tuxedo. What will Chuck Norris eat at President McCain's inaugural dinner? MREs filled with bloody meat. What would happen if Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked Biden in the head? Joe's hair transplants would pop loose. If Chuck Norris ran for President he would beat anybody he ran against. With his fists. Chuck Norris can drink Ted Kennedy under the table. Chuck Norris has Osama Bin Laden chained up in his backyard. After Chuck Norris kills terrorists he takes away their 32 virgins.

Sunday, August 24, 2008 OBAMA-BIDEN: FIRST TIME IN 68 YEARS A TICKET WITH NO MILITARY EXPERIENCE Posted by: Michael Medved at 2:18 AM THE OBAMA-BIDEN TICKET IS THE FIRST TICKET OF EITHER MAJOR PARTY IN SIXTY-EIGHT YEARS IN WHICH NEITHER THE CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT EVER SERVED IN THE MILITARY! At a time of war, the Democrats give us something the nation hasn't seen in more than two generations: a ticket where neither of the the running mates ever wore a uniform of any kind. Shouldn't Republicans make a big deal of this? Consider the history-- 2004 -- GOP -- Bush...

The smallest species of snake ever discovered lives on the Caribbean island of Barbados. The new species is called Leptotyphlops carlae. It may look like a little worm, but a newly discovered creature has earned a spot in the record books: It is the smallest species of snake known on Earth.

NANCY, France (AFP) - A blind journalist was given a month's suspended jail sentence and fined 500 euros (750 dollars) by a French court Friday for driving while drunk and without a license.

WICHITA, Kan. — Fort Hays State University has fired its debate coach for losing his temper at a tournament, engaging in a videotaped shouting match that included pulling down his shorts to expose his underwear. University President Edward H. Hammond also announced Friday that the school was immediately suspending its debate program until problems are addressed at the national level. He said it was important to take a stand against the declining standards of college debate.

On this day, three was a crowd. Until Sunday, 35-year-old Carla Ramson lived in an apartment in southwest Atlanta with two men she identified as her husband and live-in boyfriend, according to an Atlanta police report.

Does any other person remember Cher on Larry King live during the '92 election? She was a rabid Democrat but she went on LKL and was encouraging all people to vote for Perot because he was something different and an alternative to the two party system. Larry actually asked her, "C'mon, are you really going to vote for Perot?". She looked him right in the eye and said she would. I think we should start a write-in Hillary movement. Maybe this could be phase II of 'Operation Chaos'.

A good sport should be two things: inexcusably dangerous and, ultimately, completely pointless. American sports feature way too many pads and helmets and, you know, rules, so we've scoured the globe for the most awesome-and often terrifying-alternatives.

Anyone else see the huge double cab Ford pickup ole Mr. Biden is driving these days? You cannot miss it if you watch the news and see the feeds coming out of Biden's driveway as the press is convinced that he is Obama's VP pick. It looked like a F-250 but it could be a F-150. Either way, he was using it to haul a cut up TREE to the dump today. I wonder why he had the tree cut down anyway, let alone why he did not recycle it in some fashion. You cannot make this crap up.

I was wondering if people would be interested in some photos from the GOP Convention and all the moonbats on parade. I figure since I'm forced to enter the fray just to get to work, I may as well get some pics of the moonbats on "Peace Island" (Cowleen Rowley's little makebelieve world of unicorns and moonbeams) and other similar nuttery. Maybe I can find a new replacement Anglo-European version of Rage Boy in the process.

Meet Saudi Arabia's mad motorway skaters An incredible video shows what has become the latest dangerous craze to hit Saudi Arabia: street skating.The footage appears to be genuine... The three boys cling onto the car as they appear to 'skate' along the road's surface As the car drives down the motorway at high speed the boys, who look no older than teenagers, open the doors, step outside in their white robes and then proceed to 'skate' along the tarmac as it speeds beneath their sandalled feet. At one point all three of the car's doors, all but the driver's, are...

It's hard to be amazed by anything you see online, when you know any teenager with a computer and a pirated copy of Photoshop can cobble together a fake photograph in minutes. Unfortunately this means there's a whole bunch of jaw-dropping pics that the internet declared "FAKE!" the moment they appeared. But as it turns out, some of the most baffling of them are, in fact, real.

For the first time, scientists have proven that "beer goggles" are real — other people really do look more attractive to us if we have been drinking. Surprisingly, the beer goggles effect was not limited to just the opposite sex among the ostensibly straight volunteers recruited for the study — they also rated people from their own sex as more attractive. Scientists in England gave 84 heterosexual college students chilled lime-flavored drinks that were either non-alcoholic or given a dose of vodka equivalent in alcohol to a large glass of wine or a pint-and-a-half of beer. After 15 minutes, the...

- Angus & Co., WE SALUTE YOU!!! I'm not sure regarding the exact date, but at least I know Ac/Dc formed in Sydney back in 1973 (- does anyone here on the greatest Conservative site on the Internet happen to know the exact date?) AC/DC is one of my favorite rock bands and all of Australia indeed ought to be very, very proud of them. AC/DC are admirable out of many reasons. Three of them stands out from my point of view: 1. Their conservatism; while most bands that have been around for some time, sooner or later, tend to...

Physicists sent two photons down optical fibers toward different destinations, and found that the photons could instantly sense each other's behavior. After performing multiple tests on two entangled photons, physicists have yet again found that the photons seem to be communicating faster than the speed of light - at least 100,000 times faster. The researchers hope that their results might encourage theorists to come up with new explanations for the strange quantum mechanical effect. The physicists, led by Nicolas Gisin from the University of Geneva, arranged their experiment by sending two photons down fiber optic cables to detectors in two...

OCALA - Before she was former Sen. John Edwards' mistress, before she was Rielle Hunter, before she was the face splashed on national television networks, she was the teenager Lisa Druck of Ocala and a horse lover. In a story already spawning countless tabloid headlines, here is another twist - Hunter's life became sordid long before she slipped into bed with the former presidential candidate. Hunter's father, James D. Druck, a successful Ocala lawyer representing insurance companies during the 1980s, was implicated in a scam that involved a local man, Tommy "The Sandman" Burns, who electrocuted horses so that their...
