BEST OF THE WEEK











NATO has discovered that the Taliban is using Chinese-made weapons. How easy is it to get Chinese-made weapons? Well, I went to Chinatown here in New York and was easily able to buy these illegal surface-to-air missiles.

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.

In China, a new gallery will display government officials involved in scandals. A similar gallery has gone up in the United States on the internet. Just go to this web address: www.whitehouse.gov.

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 in their brains, and they all re-pledged to immediately buy whatever Apple makes in the future.

Parents of the children in the reality TV show “Kid Nation” had to waive their right to sue the network even if their kids died! Apparently though, parents have to do the same thing at the Little League World Series. Have you seen the size of some of those ‘12-year-olds’?

Mattel is now recalling 675,000 Barbie accessories. Well, you know how women have that ‘no lead paint on the third date’ rule.

The journal “Nature Medicine” recently announced a new schizophrenia drug. Out of 200 patients tested, they got positive results from 346.

Central America is currently dealing with the onslaught of Felix the Cat… egory Five hurricane.

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.
