Pastor Beaten After Blunt Eulogy

So, Orlando Bethel, a pastor was beaten and dragged out of the church after he gave a rather blunt Eulogy after he told the mourners that the deceased was in hell and they were on their way.

Orlando Bethel referred to him as a "drunkard and a fornicator."Glynis Bethel, who's also a preacher, says "the fornicators didn't like what he said so they got up and beat him."

Starbucks ad in poor taste?

STARBUCKS YANKS AD MOCKING 9/11Here's an excerpt:

The tempest in a teapot revolved around 3,000 window displays touting summer tea brews by depicting two "twin" cups of the concoction standing side-by-side in tall, squared-off blades of grass with dragonflies dive-bombing into one of them.The words "Collapse into Cool" are printed above the image.

I don't want to come off as insensitive, but the ad doesn't appear to look like the World Trade Center, nor is the dragonfly (there's only one) dive-bombing anything. I've stared at this ad each morning at my local Starbucks and didn't think anything of it. Maybe since I don't live in New York it doesn't bother me, but even if I did live in New York I doubt it would.The terrorist attacks against America have affected us all, this ad should only affect coffee sales.Take a click over to the article and look at a copy of the ad and decide for yourself.

Wait 'til next year...

Well, the Cubs are stuck near the basement in the standings and the calls for firing Don Baylor are becoming more and more frequent. They're lucky the Brewers are playing worse than the Cubs, they fired their manager at the beginning of the season, we'll wait until the Cubs are officialy the worst team in baseball before they make a move. The pain continues...http://www.firebaylor.com/The player I just love to hate, Todd Hundley, can he suck any more?http://www.dumptoddhundley.com

Chinese lacking sense of humor

The Beijing Evening News published a story based on The Onion article about Congress threatening to leave D.C. unless they get a new retractable dome capitol building. The newspaper even printed the graphic from the Onion.From the original story:

"Don't get us wrong: We love the drafty old building," Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL) said. "But the hard reality is, it's no longer suitable for a world-class legislative branch. The sight lines are bad, there aren't enough concession stands or bathrooms, and the parking is miserable. It hurts to say, but the capitol's time has come and gone."

The article is hilarious, and it's even funnier that the Evening news published it as news.

What did we know?

The following Newsweek cover story is a very detailed account of what the CIA knew and didn't tell the FBI. It's a good read.It's important to know what the CIA and FBI knew about the hijakers and when. I hope it will lead to more cooperation between the two agencies. The benefits of this cooperation are enourmous, but how long have they not been cooperating. Too long, enough of the pissing match, no one wins.
