9/6

1. Fred Thompson has announced that he’s running for president. Wasn’t he already in the race? How long does it take for someone to be in the race? Soon we’ll hear an announcement from George W. Bush that he is definitely absolutely A-100% in the running for 2000.

2. When Apple announced a $200 price cut for the iPhone only two weeks after it went on sale, some of the people who lined up for days to pay the original cost were very upset. Until Steve Jobs activated the microchips he has implanted in their brains, and they all re-pledged to immediately buy whatever Apple makes in the future.

3. I love the literal names of places where President Bush is meeting other leaders in Australia. For example, a lot of talks are taking place in Government House. That’s like calling Mount Rushmore, ‘Four Faces Carved in Stolen Land’.

4. Democrat fundraiser and fugitive, Norman Hsu, has again failed to appear in court. Police are setting traps by having Barack Obama lookalikes wander aimlessly around cities with signs asking for campaign contributions.

5. [photo] In South Africa, Archbishop Desmond Tutu has become the official patron of Barbecue Day. He said barbecue is uniquely South African. Really? From the picture here, it looks like he’s eating hot dogs. He also said that eating can bring people together -- “short people, tall people, fat people, lean people”. Well, especially the fat people, but still.
