ajc.com | Metro | ‘Probable’ West Nile case confirmed in Georgia

Six of them! With two fatalities! Lucky there’s nothing to be concerned about!

Heck, forget not going outside, I’m never leaving my bed again.

Deliberate fire set after shots fired at sorority picnic

Last night, shots were fired (in the air) at a picnic attended by members of the University of Alabama chapter of Delta Sigma Theta, a black sorority. This morning, a fire was apparently deliberately set at the sorority house, doing significant damage. Thankfully, none of the eight students in the house was hurt.

As you may or may not know, there have been some racial difficulties in the UA Greek community, particularly on the female side, in recent years. White sororities have been pretty stridently anti-integration. Obviously, I don’t know why this fire was set, but I have to fear the worst.

Wait, didn’t they just say that pregnant women shouldn’t eat fish? No, that was just tuna, right? Whatever. Anyway, you guys get your act together, figure out what it is people should eat, then we’ll talk.

If anyone’s in Cobb County, Georgia tonight, why not stop by the school board meeting and watch them try to set the clock back to the 18th century?

The Nando Times: Cadbury apologizes for ad making light of Kashmir

Cadbury’s ad — appearing in a Bombay newspaper on Indian Independence day — said that their chocolate was, like Kashmir, “too good to share”. Oy.

Allies may help in missile defense

The best way they can help is by refusing to have anything to do with it. It’s a huge waste of time and money.

Jason Rylander thinks that cloning extinct species, mammoths in particular, is “a profoundly bad idea”. (He even brings Jurassic Park into it.)

I disagree. I don’t know about cloning dinosaurs (which is almost certainly impossible), but mammoths are a completely different animal, literally and figuratively. They only went extinct very recently. More importantly, they (almost certainly) went extinct due to human agency, at least in part. I not only think it’s acceptable for human agency to try and bring the mammoth back, it’s our duty.

Besides, I think seeing a mammoth would be neat.

Two captive Jehovah’s Witnesses beheaded in Philippines

Okay, that’s just wrong. Even if they were Jehovah’s Witnesses.

“They did this because they want to punish the nonbelievers of Allah,” he said.

I can’t say that I agree with your interpretation of the Koran there, boys.
