The USS Gerry?
Hey peoples, I'm pondering a possible post of a personal persuasion (check out my boy's mad alliteration skizzills -ed.), but for this week, I think we'll just stick to a "making fun of random news stories" type post. So let's get at it, shall we?
I talked last week about Gerald Ford's legacy, well you might be happy to know that the US Navy has decided to name the first of a new class of aircraft carriers after him. The ship will launch from Maryland and travel up the Atlantic coast to Canadian waters, where most experts believe it will trip over an iceberg and sink.
RIM has announced that the new BlackBerry line will also be available in white. The mind boggles. Anyway, apparently the white BlackBerry will be especially designed for financial software, while the original black BlackBerry will be best used to download hip-hop music and play NBA Jam. (Wow...that was just uncalled for -ed.)
Speaking of basketball, Chris Webber just signed with the Pistons. In related news, Joe Dumars has petitioned the NBA that all teams should be granted an extra time-out, "just in case".
In science news, the first successful uterus transplant has been carried out in New York. This is wonderful news, especially for my roommate, who's dream of allowing gay men to bear children through a device he calls the "uter-ass" is now one step closer.
Incidentally, this past weekend was MLK weekend. On Saturday TNT showed the following three movies back-to-back-to-back: Assassins, Grosse Pointe Blank, and The Whole Nine Yards. All of these movies revolve around hitmen...does that seem strange to anyone else?
As most of you probably know, President Bush announced a new plan for Iraq last Wednesday. The plan was met with widespread dissaproval from pundits, Democrats, and many military experts. But what you might not know is that yesterday the Saudi Arabian government stated their approval of the President's plan. And if the Saudis like it, it must be a good idea.
And finally, in other political news, Senator Barack Obama has announced his candidacy for President. As my readers should know, this delights me to no end. I don't really have a joke here, I just wanted to let you all know in case you hadn't heard.
