Bizarro World

Imagine this headline: Michael Jackson Seeks Job in Bahrain...
Now what? Okay, sure. LMFAO of course. Then what? Shake my head. Check my eyes. See if my coffee was spiked. Well, I ain't kidding.

It seems the gloved one (so as not to leave prints on Prince) took a gig as a consultant in Bahrain. He will advise on luring (he is good at that) folks to amusement and resort sites. Sorta like children to neverland, I guess.
He is also finalizing his Hurricane Katrina relief song which features rapper/pornographer Snoop Dogg and that other humanitarian and protector of children - R. Kelly. A report suggested that the title of the song shall be "I Have This Dream."
I'm not kidding. This comes out on the day honoring Dr. King.
Remember what he said about judging a man by the content of his character? Judge for yourselves whether these are bad people. It just seems to me that they go about their business in an evil, predatory way.
Today's news has been like that.
It seems the Iranians are upset by news as well. They said CNN misquoted the Iranian president regarding nuclear weapons. He did not say, as quoted, he thought Iran had a right to nuclear weapons. He said it had a right to nuclear energy.
CNN has since apologized on all outlets on-air, to the Iranian government as well as Iran's ambassador to the United Nations and anybody else within earshot.. Iran's Culture and Islamic Guidance Ministry, welcomed CNN's apology and were quick to ban CNN from the country anyway. Their return would "depend on an assessment of the broadcaster's future coverage of the Islamic state." Hmmm.
I guess it is true what they say - "No news is good news."
It was said that professional ethics were violated. Yeah, that is an important thing to note. It should be discussed again when Iran holds a news conferance regarding their position on the state of Israel. Well, they said ethics, not tolerance.
The list goes on gloriously every single day. I simply scan the headlines, making sure to have swallowed all of my coffee first so-as not to spit it all over my keyboard and screen. There I will get the charge I need. I do not even need to check the "weird" category. I just scan... then it appears... Domesticallt, it may be Pat Robertson or Howard Dean, Al Gore, Cynthia McKinney, ad infinitum, who opened their mouths allowing effleunce to spew forth.
I could swear that on certain days, these idiots are channeling Kafka.
The news is proof that recreational drugs are passe' and quite unnecessary.
Bizarro World is now.
