Political Correctness. 
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter—’tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning." - Mark Twain 

The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. 
The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.
 Niels Bohr (1885-1962), physicist

"Beware the man of one book."  
 Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274), Theologian,  philosopher  

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: 
WOW - What a Ride!"

"Consciously or unconsciously we all strive to make the kind of a world we like." 
 Oliver Wendell Holmes 

"We Lakota have a close relationship to the buffalo. He is our brother. You can't understand about nature, about the feeling we have toward it, unless you understand how close we were to the buffalo. That animal was almost like a part of ourselves, part of our souls." Lame Deer, Lakota

In January 2007, the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) announced that it is removing the western Great Lakes population of gray wolves from the federal list of threatened and endangered species. The FWS also proposed to remove the northern Rocky Mountain population of gray wolves from the list. The two separate actions are being taken in recognition of the success of gray wolf recovery efforts under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The separate actions affect only the western Great Lakes and northern Rocky Mountain wolf populations; wolves in other parts of the 48 states, including the Southwest wolf population, remain endangered and are not affected.

FWS's removal of the gray wolf from the endangered and threatened species list applies only to the Western Great Lakes Distinct Population Segment (DPS). This area includes all the areas currently occupied by wolf packs in Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin, as well as areas in these states in which wolf packs may become established in the future. The DPS also includes surrounding areas into which wolves may disperse but are not likely to establish packs.

Once a species is removed from ESA protection, there are several safeguards to help ensure it continues to thrive, including a mandatory 5-year monitoring period. FWS has the ability to immediately relist a species on an emergency basis, if monitoring or other data show that is necessary. The final rule becomes effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register; until that date, gray wolves remain under the protection of the ESA. The rule and other information about the gray wolf may be found at http://www.fws.gov/midwest/wolf.

The northern Rocky Mountain DPS includes all of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, the eastern one-third of Washington and Oregon, and a small part of north-central Utah. The FWS believes that with approved state management plans, threats to the wolf population will be reduced or eliminated. While wolf management plans in Montana and Idaho have been approved, the FWS has determined that Wyoming’s state law and wolf management plan are not sufficient to conserve Wyoming’s portion of a recovered northern Rocky Mountain wolf population.

Comments from the public are encouraged on the proposal to delist the northern Rocky Mountain population of wolves. Comments can be e-mailed to NRMGrayWolf@fws.gov within 60 days of the proposed rule’s publication date in the Federal Register. For more information, please visit the FWS's website on Northern Rocky Mountain gray wolves.
Hells Angels Sues Over "Death Head" Trademark Written for the web by Elizabeth Bishop, Senior Internet News Producer The Hells Angels are suing a Kansas couple in federal court in California for trademark infringement. The motorcycle club claims Christian and Natasha Shultz have been selling patches on eBay emblazoned with an image similar to the club's signature "death head mark."

In the lawsuit filed Thursday the Hells Angels says it's been using the famous image helmeted, horned and feathered human skull (shown above) for more than half a century and that it has served as the mark of the club. It was trademarked on February 6, 1990 and updated on August 31, 2004.

The club claims the Shultzes have been selling items carrying the image without the permission of the Hells Angels and have diluted the trademark. The club wants the Shultzes' merchandise destroyed and the Shultzes to pay damages.

FIVE RULES FOR MEN TO FOLLOW TO A HAPPY LIFE: 
1. It's important to have a woman, who helps at home, who cooks from time to time, cleans up and has a job. 
2. It's important to have a woman, who can make you laugh. 
3. It's important to have a woman, who you can trust and who doesn't lie to you. 
4. It's important to have a woman, who is good in bed and who likes to be with you. 
5. It's very, very important that these four women do not know each other. 
Zero Gravity 
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 C.

Our Constitution "They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, and it's worked for over 200 years. And, we're not using it anymore."

Ten Commandments The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse is that you cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and "Thou Shalt Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians ... It creates a hostile work environment.

Making its debut at Geneva, the geneva auto show.jpg (25533 bytes)Koenigsegg's CCXR could be the fastest car ever--and it runs on biofuel. The Swedish auto manufacturer says ethanol fuel has higher octane and better cooling power than regular gas which lets it boost the power up 25 percent over the CCX model to 1018 horsepower at 7200 rpm.

Pictured is the CCX model which is also being shown at Geneva. CCX will be re-engineered to run on biofuels.

The Two People Behind Jillian's Brooke Hogan Spoof Story 
By: Daniel Pena 
source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter 

Jillian Hall's terrible singing character isn't based off of "American Idol", but rather, Brooke Hogan. The company is using Jillian as retribution to Hulk Hogan for revealing the names under consideration for this year's Hall of Fame over the radio, which infuriated Vince McMahon to say the least. She's now being marketed as that character, so it looks like it's permanent. 

Jillian debuted the character at the February 6, 2007 SmackDown tapings in Omaha, NE, a few weeks after Hogan read the HOF candidacy list on the Bubba the Love Sponge show. Jillian had her hair styled after Brooke Hogan. She was also given accented contact lenses to make her eyes the same unusual blue color that Brooke's eyes are. 

As it turns out, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H actually came up with the character, not Vince McMahon. Vince simply okayed it because he's currently upset with Hogan. Also, Triple H holds great disdain for Hogan, so this thing shouldn't come off as a surprise.
