On a lighter note...
Thanks for this link to pranky Abby Polomis, who decided to torture her upcoming Gibratar Prom date with a picture of her new prom dress... a dress she searched for in the pages of UglyDress.com.

This twisted collection includes the publisher's running commentary like:
"My heart goes out to these two women. Not only did they have to buy these awful dresses and then be seen in public in them, but then they tried to sell the pair of dresses on E-bay."

And...
" I know what this bridesmaid was thinking and it was pure wrong. Some people get off on a strange tangent sometimes. They try to combine two things that frankly, should remain separate. This is how 'Goobers & Grape' was invented. You know 'Goobers & Grape' it is that jar in the supermarket with BOTH peanut butter and jelly in it. Who thought of that? This bride aparently thought that the corsages should later be hung from the rear view mirrors of everyone's cars."

The Mullet Hunters will entertain promgoers at Maxwelton Braes Resort this weekend. Check out their updated Web site... www.TheMulletHunters.com

Lest my Jewish friends begin to suspect me of fueling anti-semitism for pointing out that the weapons of mass destruction are located in Israel... Meet the Neturei Karta. Yesterday this group of Orthodox Jews demonstrated at the White House in opposition to the visit of "Israeli" Prime Minister Sharon. The Neturei Karta oppose what they describe as "the so-called State of Israel" not because it operates secularly, but because they believe that the entire concept of a sovereign Jewish state is contrary to Jewish Law.

Yesterday they affirmed that, "Sharon and the State of 'Israel' are illegitimate and they do not represent the Jewish people."
And further stated...

Let it be known that:

* The State of "Israel" does not represent the voice of Judaism and/or the Jewish people. The Torah clearly forbids the formation of a State, for the Jewish people, in their time of exile.
* The Torah forbids stealing land, subjugating and oppressing a people etc.
* The root cause of the endless bloodshed and suffering in the Holy Land is Zionism and the State of "Israel".
* The root cause for the continual rise of worldwide anti-Semitism is Zionism and the State of "Israel".
* The Jewish people have been living in Muslim countries, including Palestine, in peace and harmony with their Arab neighbors, until the advent of Zionism.
* True to the above and for many other reasons, the rabbinic authorities universally, have vehemently opposed the State of "Israel" since the time of its inception.

Neturei Karta says, "The only working solution to a true and lasting peace is the total dismantling of this illegitimate State of "Israel" - a transformation to a Palestinian rule. Any other of the countless proposals for peace, whereby the State of "Israel" would continue to exist, is futile."

Over a year ago I came across a map developed by MSNBC as an interactive aid to an on-line news story. At the time, it was rumored that the map was no longer linked to any story and that the only way to see this "orphaned" peice of Flash media was by using this link to call it up from the archives of MSNBC's servers. I studied the details provided on the map, and was shocked to see the exact locations of most of the Weapons of Mass Destruction still located in the Middle East. Soon after looking at the map I lost the link... and have continued to look for it using numerous searches ever since.

Well, today I found it... Take a look at the map of WMD's in abundance.
