GOP racists and assorted idiocy

I don't why this crap still surprises me, but here we go.

Republican Congressman Peter King is endorsing racial profiling as a solution to dealing with domestic terrorist incidents. FOX News wants to install Muslim-only security lines. What the hell is wrong with these people?

And we're not the only ones. A bunch of British tourists refused to board a plane until two "suspicious" looking Asian guys were escorted off. The delay was either 3 hours or a retreat to 500 years ago, depending on who you ask.

Sen. George Allen has sunk to his own brand of oblique racism, naming an opponent's staffer who follows him around "Macaca" in front of an all-white audience and welcoming him to America.

Who elects these rednecks? Never mind, I already know. Slack-jawed inbreeders.

Just a news snippet but apparently a majority of us don't believe in evolution. By us I refer to the afformentioned yokels. Refer to the chart to realize how crappy we rank against those actual civilized countries. Here's a hint: we're below Cyprus.

Normally I like NorthWest Airlines, but this goes way too far. Dealing with layoffs, strikes, and the price of fuel, NWA had taken it on the chin recently, despite every government handout to the contrary. In a booklet provided to workers recently sacked, the company essentially recommends dumpster-diving as a cost-saving measure. Now THAT'S compassionate conservatism kids.

Food news. Coffee may be the thing that causes your first heart attack. And hot dogs aren't exactly health food but a cause of genetic mutations? Sounds like a lame X-Men character bio.

A woman in Israel was saved by her breast impants during the recent conflict. I'm not saying another damn thing on that. I've got enough email.

Some commentary on the government's zealot-ridden pursuit of shutting down internet gambling. It's a link to an audio story in case you want to check it out.
