Humo Magazine's shamefully offensive ad reminds us that the most tragic event in our nation's recent history is but weeks away! Most nauseating ad for a magazine ever? Mission accomplished.
Politics Buzz Summer's not over until waterboarding gets turned into a seasonal toy! If we know our Georgie W., things are about to get a whole let wetter in Crawford.

More than 2,000 10 and 11-year-olds will see a short film, which urges them to tell the police, their parents or a teacher if they hear anyone expressing extremist views!
This is the head of the UK's anti-terrorism department, and that piece of paper details a major undercover operation against a terrorist cell. Oops! He has since resigned.
Just don't poke him. He might get testy. But seriously, could you imagine the news stream pollution these two would conjure up?

A series of coordinated blasts tore through India’s volatile northeast on Thursday, killing at least 56 people, wounding more than 300 and setting police on a frantic search for any unexploded bombs, officials said.
Tech Buzz The U.S. Army sees Twitter as a potential weapon of mass destruction for terrorists. The Army’s report says in part, “Twitter is already used by some members to post and/or support extremist ideologies and perspectives.” I assume they’re talking about Apple fanboys or Ashley Todd.

Sarah Palin spoke and the people listened, as proven by the tactful audience response at a McCain rally when the Maverick questioned the identity of the “real” Barack Obama. At this rate, the mudslinging has gotten so rough, McCain and Obama might just want to literally get in the mud and duke it out.

Movie Buzz Nick Broomfield’s movie about one corner of the Iraq War finally comes to the U.S. The Haditha killings were one of the worst civilian casualty incidents of the war — 24 men, women and children were killed by a group of Marines after a roadside bombing, though all charges against the soldiers involved were dropped after an investigation. The movie looks at what happened from several different angles.
Culture Buzz In Seattle, eco-terrorist group Earth Liberation Front sets fire to four multimillion dollar model homes. ?
Politics Buzz Osama Bin Laden’s son doesn’t denounce his father, but wants to be an “ambassador for peace” between Muslims and the West. Are we being fooled by those dreadlocks that Omar is all “smoke a bowl” and “one love”? Of the 19 Bin Laden kids, he definitely seems like the fun, laid-back one.
