Headlines 1 March 2005

I saw a number of headlines that caught my eye as I was checking out the news today.

"US sparks row at UN over abortion"

It looks like some folks at the UN are up at arms when it comes to the Bush Administration's stand on this critical issue. China is, understandably, very much in favor a woman's "right" to kill her children.

"Academy Awards TV Audience Down Slightly"

It doesn't surprise me one bit that many Americans are tuning out the Academy Awards. Any institution that honors Michael Moore isn't worth my time.

"Porn star to address Oxford Union"

In its "183-year history, the august Oxford Union debating society has heard the wisdom of Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan and Mother Theresa," but I think none of these folks can hold a candle to porn king Ron Jeremy, who's starred in over 1700 films.

"Supreme Court Ends Death Penalty for Juveniles"

The death penalty is abolished for "convicted killers who committed their crimes before the age of 18." Now, if someone really pisses me off, I know where to look for contract killers. Undoubtedly this will appease many liberals and our European allies who've long argued that this violated "the Eighth Amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishment."
