| News Headlines | | 2008-08-27 11:22:00 | | On my iGoogle page, I have a page set for news widgets that have 10 different news sources, 3 headline gatherers, and one for the Onion, America's Finest Newsource. In the middle of this page, split into three columns, are the widgets for MSNBC, CNN and FoxNews, on the left, center and right sides, respectively. I looked at their headlines not long ago, and this is what I saw:MSNBC focused mainly on Clinton and Obama at the Democrative Convention, with a headline on the progress of Hurricane Gustav:Hillary Clinton boosts Obama; next up, BillNYT: For Obama, a challenge to clarifyGustav may reach Category 3 strengthCNN also focused on the Concention, while also giving a poll showing McCain up on the issue of national security:iReporters say Clinton speech a grand slamNext up: Foreign policy, national securityPoll: Obama trails McCain on national securityFoxNews for some reason completely avoided the Convention on their headlines and instead gave two odd picks, including the third which i | | By: (Beyond the Nation) | | |

| 5 News Headlines That IT'S GRRREATT!! To Be An American | | 2007-10-23 00:37:00 | | With American pride at a supposed low (according to recent Gallup polls), here are some recent headlines guaranteed to make you pledge allegiance. 1.) Panama Justice – Boot Camp Killers of 14 year Old Black Teen Acquitted - Yes, the punching, kicking and deprivation of oxygen of 14 year old Martin Anderson by seven men and one woman is not unusual apparently in the Florida juvenile justice system. Even with video-taped evidence a jury still found no inappropriate behavior. I'm sure these jurors were fair and unbiased here's a photo of the foreman and two jurors: 2.) Mrs. Bin Laden? - Caren Ann Burke, 49, petitioned to change her last name to bin Laden. She listed her reason as "divorce from Rory S. Burke." A few things about Caren: she enjoys long walks on the beach, killing infidels, starring in the TV show "Lost", not paying child support and Barbara Hershey.3.) Brokeback Joker? - Americans love Batman, and Americans love " Brokeback" gay cowboy jokes. Put the two together, mix in a sprinkle of Heath Ledger and what do you get... The Dark Knight...I guess.4.) When We Need It Most - The New Backstreet Boys Album - Much like a raging case of herpes, the Backstreet Boys have returned with their 5th album "Unbreakable." Will this album answer America's burning question? Who buys this shit?5.) Tila Tequeera? - MTV Reality Show A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila - The program is a bisexual-themed reality dating show where 16 straight males and 16 lesbian female contestants compete for Tila's love, the twist is the contestants were not aware of Tila's bisexuality until the end of the first episode. Keep in mind that Tila is so identity confused she claims to joining a Hispanic gang at the age of 16. The kicker to that is she figured out 2 years later that Vietnamese (which is her parent's background) wasn't Hispanic.Now if those don't make you feel patriotic I don't know what will....unless a bust of Hillary Clinton does it for you. | | By: The Toxic Life | | |
| | Motiveless Crime News Headlines | | 2007-06-29 04:21:00 | | 50 Killed in Iraq ViolenceThe violence in Iraq is reaching new and more bloody heights today after a total of 50 bodies were found. Police found 20 beheaded bodies on a riverbank near a Sunni village. Following that startling discovery another car bomb exploded at a bus station during morning rush hour, killing 20 civilians and wounding over 40 more. Mortars rained down in the Shorja commerical district of Baghdad, killing two. A roadside bomb killed four soldiers (3 British, 1 US). Yet again Operation Arrowhead Ripper is killing more than helping anything.Bush wants Castro to disappear"One day the good Lord will take Fidel Castro away," was the most literate sentence that President George W. Bush said when responding to a question fielded at Naval War College today. Castro has long been a problem for US Presidents due to his long-lived reign and resistance to US demands on how to control his territory. Castro is now 80 and has accused Bush of signing off on an assassination attempt on | | By: Motiveless Crime | | |
