1. [photo] This week, a state representative in Ohio, Matthew Barrett, gave a slide show at a high school and accidentally put up nude pictures of women. He claims that he doesn’t know how the pictures got in his computer, but look at his photo. This is obviously a man watching a lot of naked women. He looks like he’s looking at one right now. That’s also the same expression the kids had when the pictures went up. Barrett’s computer was supposed to contain graphics on how bills become laws -- just not quite SO graphic. This incident will probably lead to new laws itself, so it was sort of a real-life lesson. Afterwards, Barrett actually said: “It took me probably a second or so to look at it and say, ‘That’s not the Power Point.’” His wife later agreed that he had trouble identifying a woman’s power point.
2. The classic black and white poster of Che Guevara was created 40 years ago today, giving college-aged men the cheapest way to seem intellectual to women since the word “post-modern”. I still have no idea what that word means.
3. Senator Larry Craig has decided to stick out his term until he has exhausted all legal options. Said Craig, “I am not just trying to stall, I mean stop, the investigation. I definitely don’t stall anymore.”
4. Wall Street was happy to learn that the economy added 110,000 jobs in September. Unfortunately, all of them were connected to coverage of OJ Simpson.
5. President Bush said again today: “This government does not torture people.” His legal basis is an Alberto Gonzales memo stating that terrorists are not technically ‘people’, but simply ‘guys’. “We do torture guys. Just not people.”
