Two funny headlines today.

QOTD1

"SEN. JOHN EDWARDS CAUGHT WITH MISTRESS AND LOVE CHILD!"
- National Enquirer July 2008 headline

Whatever happened to the National Enquirer?
Funny story though:

And why is it "Enquirer" and not "Inquirer"?

QOTD2

"Al Gore Can Have His Meat and Eat It Too"
- July 2008 headline from some blog or something somewhere

The story is here:

The chick in the story asked Al Gore, basically, why he's not against meat since cows have a large carbon footprint. [I guess I should menti0n at this point that no, this isn't sarcasm or satire on my part in any way. I realize that may be difficult to believe, but try.] There are two, equally funny, responses to the question:

1. Al Gore - I don't care how much CO2 cows spew, I'm eating meat.
2. The chick who asked the question ends up being a global warming girl - She says that all we have to do is move all the farms closer to people (so we don't have to drive the meat, get it?) and also run farms more naturally. I suspect under her plan that Gore would get his meat, but others with slightly (cough) lower income levels may convert to tofu.
   

The other great line in the story... 5 years till the polar ice caps melt. Huzzah!
yow, bill

PS - A whiff of sanity as the American Physical Society (some group of physicists or something) almost questions the science of global warming in a technical paper by one of its members: www.aps.org/units/fps/newsletters/200807/monckton.cfm. I say "almost" because someone had a fit and posted on the APS web site that they like the article. Whatever.
