• Massively Penetrating in Vegas

  Looking for something new to do in Vegas? Something that involves breathing in massive amounts of particulate matter blown in from the desert? Something that involves watching yet another bit of idiotic Bush administration defense planning go up in smoke (literally)? Something a little mushroom cloudy? Well, you're in luck. Agence France-Presse reports that during the first week of June your tax dollars will be hard at work setting off a 700 ton explosion at the Nuclear Test Site just north of

• Look to the Skies

  In a column in yesterday's Los Angeles Times, Ray Lemoine, co-author of Babylon by Bus, recounted his recent brush with the Department of Homeland Security. Lemoine was stopped at JFK airport while returning from Dubai. He'd been red-flagged because of a former job. Lemoine isn't a retired shoe-bomber or an ex-terrorist mastermind– a few years ago, he used sell bootleg t-shirts at sporting events. "Why did you infringe on the Boston Celtics' copyright in Boston in 2003?" the man from Homel

  "Look at it burning." -Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah leader, speaking as his group's rockets struck a US-made Israeli warship Well, we're in for it now. Israel, Lebanon and Palestine are at each others' throats. Amr Moussa, General-Secretary of the Arab League, has declared the Middle East peace process "dead". That's not troubled, fragile or even desperate; it's DEAD. Beyond resuscitation. According to Mista Moussa, "Certain powers have given Israel every capacity to do whatever it wishes

  To hell with stem cell research - now they're just being silly. From today's Sludge Report: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Human embryonic stem cells can partly restore vision in blinded rats, and may offer a source of transplants for people with certain eye diseases, researchers at a U.S. company reported on Thursday. Great. Exactly what we need - rats with enhanced eyesight. Coming soon: eighteen-legged spiders that shoot acid and cockroaches with mounted artillery. Three blind mice were unavailable f

• Mickey Mouse: Member of Hamas?

  Disney is a notoriously litigious corporation that defends what it feels belongs to them, whether intellectual property rights or the city of Anaheim. So it'll be interesting to see what, if any, reaction, they'll do after this children's television show aired on Hamas' Palestinian television network that featured a Mickey Mouse rip-off railing against the Zionists and dancing to a song about an AK-47. So Disney: will you give the terrorists the same treatment you give Florida day care centers?

• You win some. You Laos some

  Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone is conspiring to overthrow the government of Laos these days? Apparently, Vang Pao, a former Laotion general from Orange County, and Harrison Ulrich Jack, a retired California National Guard lieutenant colonel, were arrested this morning and accused of doing just that. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives charged the men with attempting to purchase military equipment including Stin
