HEADLINE- Cheney Criticized for Attire at Auschwitz Ceremony

From that headline I thought perhaps he had turned up in Prince Harry’s Nazi costume, but I guess he was just too casual in his “olive drab parka and hiking boots”, as opposed to the rest of the world’s leaders that had the sense to dress more formally. But what can you expect from a robot? I mean C3PO and R2D2 were naked so at least he made an effort!

So I got some more great spam today. The Christian right loves to spam me. At least once a day I get some Christian focused spam. You may remember the eliminate your debt the Christian way… today I got a Christian dating site. The subject line reads, “Where Christians Meet!” As opposed to say work, the library or the frozen food section of your local grocery. You will only meet real Christians on their site, the rest of us are heathens! Well, being the curious type I had to open this (although I suspect I am now on some Christian fundamentalist watch list and I will be receiving spam left right and center from them) and the first thing on the page is a quote: “Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh” Wow, cue the opening bars of Sunrise Sunset.
The rest of the page went a little like this (a one to three four)
