Officials in the Philippines are warning that taking part in crucifixions may be hazardous to your health. Oh really? Yeah, I seem to recall hearing that it was pretty bad for at least one guy about two thousand years ago. When he heard the warning, Eliot Spitzer took down the cross he had put up in front of the New York Post.
Dick Cheney met the king of Saudi Arabia to talk about the oil market, and then as an afterthought, the nuclear threat of Iran. Shouldn’t Iran be first on the agenda? Are you ever going to have a conversation with your neighbor like: “Hey, Bill, gas prices are really getting crazy, huh?” “Oh yeah, I can’t believe it.” “Man, me neither. Say, do you think we should do something about that guy over there with the flamethrower?”
