While young fans in Lebanon lit candles and sang to Michael Jackson's songs, Bahraini lawyer Qays al Zu'bi said, "Despite the scandal in the United States, I saw mothers at the lobby of his hotel who brought their children to introduce them to Michael Jackson."

Uh, yeah.

At one point Michael Jackson had a rabbi and was studying to become Jewish before deciding to convert to Islam. What a choice! It's like, "Hmm, do I want to be a Jew...or an anti-Semite? Jew, anti-Semite; Jew, anti-Semite..."

I guess in the end he decided that the latter was just more fun.

While the gay community is good at dishing it out, apparently it can't take any ribbing back.

About a photo shown in the upcoming Bruno movie of a baby sitting in a hot tub where two men are having sex (only two?), GLAAD senior director Rashad Robinson said, "As someone who sat at the back of a focus group audience outside of Los Angeles, I felt they were laughing at us at times."

God forbid gays should be comedy targets like the rest of us! Geez, you'd think if anyone should be OK with being the BUTT of the joke...

I mean, you'd think that if there's anyone who wouldn't be tight-assed about comedy...it's gay people.

Poll shows partisan divide on Middle East conflict (May 18)

80 percent of likely Obama voters were in total agreement with the phrase, “It’s time for the United States to get tough with Israel.”

The other 20 percent were the Dumb Jews who voted for him.

Scientists have finally discovered a 47-million-year-old fossil, named “Ida”, that they say is the species that “bridges the evolutionary split between higher primates such as…humans and their more distant relatives such as lemurs."

Which is very odd. I thought we found the missing link 1400 years ago and his name was Muhammad.

A slice of life, literally, from “moderate” Egypt as Muslims go hog wild on the country’s pigs: Pig cull YouTube video sparks outrage

…The clip posted by independent newspaper Al-Masri Al-Yom includes gory images of pigs being beaten with iron bars, piglets being stabbed and animals being kicked alive into bulldozer buckets...Although no case of swine flu has yet been detected on its territory, Egypt is the only country in the world to have decided to kill all its pigs, estimated to have numbered around 250,000 before the cull began.

In the video, Mohamed el-Mugharbil, deputy mayor of Kashkus near Cairo, describes how chemicals are also poured on animals caged in trucks, leading to a slow death…“Only the males are killed in accordance with the rules,” said journalist Heba Nasreddin, while “the piglets and sows are hit with an iron bar and left to bleed to death”.

For those who are fighting their urges to pour acid on their wives, girlfriends or sisters, the pigs are giving them an opportunity to get this out of their systems. Especially since pig flesh tears very similarly to human flesh (by virtue of pigs being descended from Jews), which is why pigs and Jews are used for all kinds of killing practice.

Other pictures obtained by AFP show pigs which have been disembowelled but whose throats have not been slit.

What a lovely place to holiday, Britons! Get your tickets now! After all, it's you they're practicing for.

Biden Reveals Location of Secret VP Bunker

The vice president, well-known for his verbal gaffes, confirms at a dinner the existence and location of a secret hidden bunker that Cheney is believed to have used after the 9/11 attacks..., divulging potentially classified information meant to save the life of a sitting vice president.

Well, now is as good a time as any!

According to Maxim’s Hot 100:

For the first time, a First Lady makes the cut: Michelle Obama debuts at No. 93. Says Maxim, “...our Commander-in-Chief gets to come home to the hottest First Lady in the history of these United States.”

I agree that Michelle Obama is hot. She totally reminds me of a guy I dated when I was 15.

On that point, why did the Obamas have only two kids? Because Michelle Obama got a vasectomy.

Pope Benedict visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem this week, inserting a note between its ancient crevices asking for peace.

I saw the wall myself when I was in Jerusalem in 2007. It’s a beautiful structure, a work of art really. I’m not talking about the Western Wall, I'm talking about the security wall. It's gorgeous. I too wrote a message on a tiny piece of paper, rolled it up and put it in a crack that went through to the terrorist side. It said, “F.U.”
