Peter King, a US congressman, has publicly vilified Michael Jackson as a child molestor and practically condemns everyone for buying tickets to the funeral. He states that we should be giving US Soldiers in Afghanistan the respect they deserve instead. Obviously there is a bit of a logical fallacy here.. we can pay our respects to more than one person, as far as I know. Its not a one or the other thing. Moron.
Now, Mr. King knows that the legal system in the USA has never convicted Michael Jackson of a child molestation crime, so why does this man publicly state that Michael is a child molester after he has passed away? Because Peter King wants publicity. What a low-class low-blow to slander a man who has already passed away! C’mon Pete, grow up! You just wish you were as famous… obviously that’s the whole reason for your public announcement! Why else would you post it forefront on your own webpage!

Good to hear that Vancouver re-signed the Twins to identical $30.5 Million dollar 5 year deals. It will be good to have the pair back in Vancouver. Sedins and Luongo will be what the team is built on… will they be able to bring a cup home?

Seems like everything’s contaminated these days. Latest victim is Nestle’s Toll House refridgerated cookie dough. The company has issued a recall of the Toll House refridgerated cookie dough. No other products have been contaminated.
Like my high school prof said.. the only way to get E. Coli contamination into something, is to somehow get fecal matter onto it. So that means someone took a dump, and didn’t wipe their hands before digging their fingers into the cookie dough at Nestle’s plant.

Earlier this month I reported that there was a possible Gold Heist at the Canadian Mint. It appears now that the third-party audit conducted by Deloitte and Touche has discovered that there is no accounting error that is creating this $15.3 Million Dollar shortfall in Gold.
So it may very well be that someone has walked out with several Gold Ingots!
