I'm not sure if I should laugh, if I should cry or if I should laugh till I cry... Some of those quotes are gold!

Triberg Mayor Gallus Strobel told the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung he hopes to "challenge political correctness" with his new policy, adding that the tight spaces will be an "attraction" for ambitious drivers.

"Men are, as a rule, a little better at such challenges," Strobel, 58, said, according to TheLocal.de.

"If you know what I mean?"

For one thing, it's different of the ''usual'' suicide by cops.

Wasn't there a photo passed around online of a sign in a zoo saying 'don't jump in the pen, the animals will eat you and become sick" ?

They should have said, "Please ingest a slow acting poison before jumping into the pen for suicide, saves us the trouble of having to put the sick animals to sleep ourselves.". *sarcastic*

Reid: Burn ‘Made in China’ USA Uniforms
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2012/0...-usa-uniforms/

WASHINGTON—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was unambiguous in his response when asked about an ABC World News report that the U.S. Olympic team’s opening ceremony uniforms were made in China rather than by American textile workers.

The uniforms, designed by Ralph Lauren, have “made in China” labels on them, the ABC report said.

Mr. Reid said he thought “they should take all the outfits, put them in a big pile and burn them and start all over.”

I have to agree.. though it pretty much sums up the state of the US at this point thanks to transnational business shenanigans.

Anime Makeup “Really Popular”:

"Japanese have been bemusedly confronted with the wonders of “anime eyes”
makeup, supposedly “attracting much attention throughout America” and certainly
attracting much attention in Japan (though perhaps not for the same reasons)."

You've got to think the Obama campaign is calling every member of the 2002 US Olympic Team to see where their uniforms were made. That was the year Mitt Romney "helicoptered" in to save the Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, where the Mormon Church is headquartered. If it turns out Mitt outsourced the uniforms that year as well, I think his campaign is going to have a big problem to deal with. Both he and Obama are attacking the other over the outsourcing issue.
