Muammar Gaddafi steals the show at United Nations
At the UN summit, one leader stood out amongst the rest. While Obama gave a nice speech and Ahmadinejad denied the Holocaust, Gaddafi gave the performance of a life time.
Col Muammar Gaddafi
- Turned his 15 minute speech into an hour and a half long talk.
- Instead of staying at a residence, he made a deal to set up a tent on Donald Trump’s land. However his plan was thwarted.
- Called the UN Security Council a Terror Council.
- Was introduced by his country men as the “king of kings”.
Jumping on to the Gaddafi insanity train is Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Having learned that Gaddafi’s plane will be briefly stopping at St.John Newfoundland after the UN summit, Harper has asked Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon to intercept Gaddafi and express concern about the treatment of the Lockerbie Bomber.
The Harper Government has already expressed what they plan to tell Gaddafi when he comes and how they will bring him to task… assuming Gaddafi actually talks to minister Cannon, maybe.
On a more serious note in regards to Gaddafi, Time Magazine has a very good interview with him here.
Let Pandas Go With Dignity
BBC Wildlife Expert and Zoologist Chris Packman has expressed that he doesn’t think that the resources being spent on trying to save the Giant Panda’s are worth it.
In an interview with the Radio Times he is quoted saying
“Here is a species that, of its own accord, has gone down an evolutionary cul-de-sac. It’s not a strong species,” he said.
“Unfortunately, it’s big and cute and a symbol of the World Wide Fund for Nature and we pour millions of pounds into into panda conservation
“I reckon we should pull the plug. Let them go, with a degree of dignity.”
Packman later apologized to the public in an interview with the Mirror.
But on that note, Packman has made a good point. The estimated population of panda’s in the wild sits at 1,590, and millions are being spent into trying to save them along with every idea our scientists can muster
Just some of the solutions scientists have come up with over the years to try and save the Giant Panda:
Also, Packman isn’t the first to point out the futility of trying to save the Giant Panda. These websites have also expressed the desire to let the Giant Panda die.
Blog “Adam Meets the World” has argued in favor of letting the Panda’s die in 2006
And in 2008, Cranked.com listed Panda’s as #1 of endangered species that should be allowed to die.
Russia’s Sex Tape
Almost a week after President Obama cut the missile defense program for Czechoslovakia and Poland, a move widely consider as America extending another olive branch to the Soviet Uni Russia, a mysterious sex tape has emerged about American diplomat Brendan Kyle Hatcher. The tape, which American officials believe is an attempt to either discredit or recruit Hatcher. When Hatcher refused the blackmail attempt, the sex tape was released.
However, having viewed the sex tape first hand, it barely qualifies as a sex tape. In fact, if Russian Intelligence is responsible for it, Putin should have them all shot for incompetence. The tape is so benign and ridiculous that it is available on ABC.com. In fact, calling it a sex tape is a bit misleading as it features very little in the way of sex. Aside from some pictures of naked women briefly flashed across the screen, it shows a man in a dark room with a woman doing… something… that might be a sexual act… and it is sort of indicated in poor flashes that the man might be Hatcher.

War Declared on Charles Darwin
It’s been a dark time for Charles Darwin. Not only has the film, Creation, failed to find a distributor in the United States because it was deemed too controversial for religious America, but now Kirk Cameron & Ray Comfort plan to celebrate the 150 year anniversary of the “Origin of Species” in their own way.
To summarize the video: Ray Comfort has written a forward for the Origin of Species that argues in favor of creationism and makes interesting facts about Darwin known (such as Darwin’s Racism and disdain for women). Copies of the Origin of Species with this special forward will be distributed throughout 50 American Universities (and growing) for the anniversary of “The Origin of Species” on November 21st. Cameron argues in the video that he only wants to present the other side of the evolutionary debate (which apparently includes Hitler’s fascination with Darwin’s theories).
Now I believe in freedom of speech and I strongly believe that both creationists and evolutionists should be allowed to express their views. However, this act amounts effectively to trolling and something I’d expect out of 4chan. It’s like Cameron & Comfort don’t realize that not only will they look like bastards for doing this, but someone is going to run a similar scheme with the bible. After all, there is nothing stopping someone from writing a foreword for the bible that shed light on facts about Jesus Christ and reveal Hitler’s fascination with the Christian faith. And then distribute this special bible throughout 50 megachurches in the United States… after all, who’d reject a free bible on Christmas?
