Bulletproof

Due to financial troubles, French politician Jean Marie Le-Pen is selling his bulletproof Peugeot on eBay France. According to Reuters, a National Front spokesman said the car was up for sale because of "money, money, glorious money." The asking price for the car is 10.000.000,00 EUR right now.



*Note to LA gangsters: This car could come in really handy during those drive bys.

Those wacky Lesbians

Those Lesbians sure are wacky ... not the women who dig other women, but the people of the island Lesbos.

The people of Lesbos are suing a couple of homosexual rights groups to keep the word "lesbian" out of their titles.


According to the Associated Press, one plaintiff said the name of one of the associations, Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece, "insults the identity" of the people of Lesbos, who are also known as Lesbians.

"My sister can't say she is a Lesbian," said Dimitris Lambrou. "Our geographical designation has been usurped by certain ladies who have no connection whatsoever with Lesbos," he said.

Lesbos was the home of Sappho and ancient Greek poet who purportedly encouraged same-sex relationships for women.

Trippy


Forget milk, LSD does a body good if Albert Hoffmann is any indicator. The inventor of LSD just died at a ripe old age of 102.

Hofmann, a Swiss chemist, invented the drug in 1938 and accidently became the first to partake of the substance when some spilled on his finger and seeped into his skin during an experiment a decade later.

Hofmann said of his trip, "I had to leave work for home because I was suddenly hit by a sudden feeling of unease and mild dizziness. Everything I saw was distorted as in a warped mirror."

Then a few days later, Hofmann decided to take a larger hit and had a bad trip.

"The substance which I wanted to experiment with took over me. I was filled with an overwhelming fear that I would go crazy. I was transported to a different world, a different time."

Hoffmann continued to take the drug on and off for decades, even after it was banned by most nations in the 1960s.

Jesus, please lower gas prices


Rocky Twyman, a choir director from Washington D.C. has taken the Biblical saying "Take everything to the Lord in prayer" to a whole new level.

He travelled to San Francisco recently to pray for divine intervention with respect to high gas prices. He staged his prayer-in at a local Phillips-Conoco gas station.

May the Lord answer his prayers, because gas is like $3.60 a gallon up here in Washington, and in San Francisco where Twyman travelled the average gallon of gas costs $4.

Rude Britannia

Having grown up on Monty Python and C.S. Lewis, before I visited England for the first time, I thought British people were going to be polite but uptight, have bad teeth, wear bowler hats, eat bad food and ride on big red buses. When I went over there I was amazed by how different things were. The red busses were still there, but it was obvious that the things that might have been true generations ago had changed.



One thing I noticed was that British people weren't as nice as I thought they were going to be. An ITV poll has revealed that my observations weren't unfounded. Apparently, British people acknowledge that they are ruder than they were 10 years ago. They spit and swear more and forget to say please and thank you. Britons blame their bad behavior on parental failure and celebrities. They said parents aren't teaching their children manners and people emulating the anti-social behavior of celebrities.

Interestingly enough, instead of shouldering the burden themselves, 75 percent of ITV's survey respondents say that teaching manners in school will fix the problem. 

I disagree.I really get tired of people trying to let schools raise their children. If parents would do their jobs in the first place (as the poll shows), modern Brits would be good. Maybe someone will see the sense I'm making one day.

Drug cartels: We want you

Mexican Drug cartel, the Zetas, latest recruitment effort is further polarizing the Mexican war on drugs, making it seem like a battle between good and evil.

In Luciferian style, The Zetas are offering people in Mexican border towns a deal that may be hard to refuse -- Riches for rags.

The Zetas media of choice to get the word out: posters and fliers plastered throughout the border cities. The pitch on their posters sound like the deal of the century:

"We don't feed you Maruchan soups."

"Former soldiers sought to form armed group; good pay, 500 dollars."

"Join the ranks of the Gulf Cartel. We offer benefits, life insurance, a house for your family and children. Stop living in the slums and riding the bus. A new car or truck, your choice."

All I know is that the Zetas use of guerilla marketing has me thinking about joining. I could use that new car. But then again, am I willing to smuggle drugs and face punitive action from the Mexican government to get that car? Nah. Sorry guys. If you ever need some help doing something legal, give me a call.

What you talking 'bout Willis?

Let me be the first to say that when I found out that Gary Coleman (Arnold from Diff'rent Strokes) got married back in August 2007, I was elated because:

#1 Little people need love

#B Coleman seemed to be breaking out of that whole former-child-TV-star-with-issues mold.

So, now that I hear he's getting a divorce after nearly 9 months, I'm pretty upset, because I was rooting for him like I said. Things didn't work out because Coleman well ... see #B.

Apparently, Coleman would get violently angry with his wife and throw tantrums. He also had no friends, and would be gone at all hours of the night.

With that said, however, I will be watching his divorce on a special, two-episode Divorce Court May 1 and 2. I might have to take the day off work to do it, but nothing could be as exciting as watching this trainwreck go down on Daytime TV.

If you miss it, check back here for the forthcoming Youtube clips. In the meantime, here's the couple discussing their woes on ET. Click here to view the video.
