I haven’t done one of these in a while, Gordo keeps track of the news really well. I know I link to him all the time, but I don’t think enough of you are going over there. So I link again. It’s also thanks to Gordo that I know the date every day.

Anyway, I don’t have much because… I don’t feel like searching through news right now. And I’m just going to post the headlines… without comment, I think. Unless something really pisses me off.

The U.S. government warned American private financial services on
Thursday of an al Qaeda call for a cyber attack against online stock
trading and banking Web sites beginning on Friday, a source said.
The source, a person familiar with the warning, said the Islamic
militant group aimed to penetrate and destroy the databases of the U.S.
financial sites.

Canadians are starting to get less and less food to eat. …First beef, then … I dont remember, but there was something else, and now ham. wtf. just eat it. as my roommate would say "the only reason we keep getting sick and keep getting cancer is because we live for so fucking long now" LoL.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning the public not to
consume certain Honey Baked Ham Company brand cooked ham and turkey
products.

The CFIA says the products may be contaminated with listeria
monocytogenes, which can cause can cause high fever, severe headache,
neck stiffness and nausea.

Forever, I will maintain that good hockey, is clean hockey. No fights, no assholes… none of it. Good. Clean. Hockey.

A former Norwich University hockey star who ended up on life support
following a brutal attack in Toronto over the weekend died from his
injuries Tuesday.

This bit of news just… made me laugh. Sorry. …*giggles*

Unaware of his fate, a two-year-old dachshund barked while chained
to his dingy, wooden house, as South Korea slaughtered hundreds of dogs
and pigs in efforts to stem the spread of the deadly H5N1 strain of
bird flu.

The dog’s owner, Im Soon-duck — like many villagers –
was more concerned about losing her three pigs than the dog, which was
a present from her daughter in Seoul.

They eat dogs. hahahaha. sorry… ha

Convicted killer Colin Thatcher won full parole Thursday, 22 years after his conviction for murdering his ex-wife.

He plans to spend his days out on the family ranch near Caron, Sask.

… Out on the family ranch KILLING HIS FAMILY!? I can see the headline in a week "Convicted murder gone missing" fuuuck offfff.

We all know I could go on… and on… and ON about this next one...

The highly charged debate on global warming reached the US Supreme
Court yesterday, prompting the justices to question the impact of auto
and truck emissions on the environment, what must happen to rescue the
world’s coastlines, and whether the Environmental Protection Agency has
to help stop the damage.

…

Climate scientists estimate that pollution from US cars and trucks
account s for 6 percent of the world’s greenhouse gases; the states
argue that they’re suffering harm because the EPA is dragging its feet
and won’t use its authority to set strict limits on carbon dioxide
emissions. But the EPA, backed by the White House, contends that it
doesn’t have the power to do so and that even if it did there is no
hard evidence linking emissions to global warming.

But you know.. .I’ll just leave it.
