Bush: ‘Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter’

leave a comment »

This is just way too funny. In fact, it’s probably something I would have done myself. You gotta give the guy some credit for being ballsy. In a private meeting with other G-8 summit leaders, President Bush finishes  a meeting with the words “Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter.” Not only that, he pumps his fist into the air. I’m not his biggest fan but you gotta love it. Kinda reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer steals some candy from a candy convention and while being chased by the convention folks, he lobs a pack of pop rocks candy and soda at them. Before the explosion he yells “See you in hell candy boys!”.

World Bank Report Confirms: Biofuels Behind Food Price Hikes

with 2 comments

A leaked report by the World Bank, purportedly confirms that biofuels, not increased demand from India and China, has caused the world’s food prices to increase by 75%.

President Bush has linked higher food prices to higher demand from India and China, but the leaked World Bank study disputes that: “Rapid income growth in developing countries has not led to large increases in global grain consumption and was not a major factor responsible for the large price increases

The news also suggests that the report was finished back in April, but was held back:

Senior development sources believe the report, completed in April, has not been published to avoid embarrassing President George Bush.

It all sounds to corny to me, hehehe….

China Police Perform Rapid Deployment Drill, Using Segways?

leave a comment »

No freakin way! These guys are actually riding Segways? This photo (found on Yahoo), apparently an official photo released by the official Xinhua news agency, depicts a demonstration of “rapid deployment” by members of China’s armed police on what seems to be Segways. An anti-terrorist drill, held to prepare for the Olympics.

So that’s where all the Segways went…..
