David Frost's "serdom" was a disaster. He ought to have that "ser" reduced to
kwasne mleko.

> Cancer drugs provision to concentrate on women

Fair enough, ladies first after all. Testicular cancer balls-up on the horizon,
though.

> Bird flu pandemic hasn't happened yet

The longer it doesn't happen the longer the Chinese have to ensure that they
have enough stocks to keep the population alive. Not so much their own, as
those that can buy it for hard currency, though.

ON a related note, the Chinese were in the news for letting their AIDs get out
of control. Since this is spread mainly by prostitutes in China (they having no
gays and drug abusers) you could call that a variant of bird flu.

That's probably all that organization will leave him with, so at least they
didn't make him lie in his ceremony. We shold be thankful for small mercies, if
not small actors.

If people donated to Charities properly instead of paying taxes and buying
lottery tickets, then they wouldn't be able to do this sort of outrageous thing.

> Holland plans on banning muslim veils

Very good.

Kommendant van Heerden has obviously been in charge of the training of the Kiwi
police. Either him or Clouseau.

> Bugger King advertises a new burger with 1000 calories

I wonder if they used morbidly obese people for the advertising?

If I remember right it was a kind of athlete's foot cream.

> Sarah Ferguson to appear on "Dancing with the Stars" in the US - how sad

Now is the summer of their screen's content turned dismal winter by this wife
of York.

On the contrary, it'll probably be the only thing that'll save it. There has
been no increase in the fortunes of the churches that have capitulated to
liberalism, because liberals don't really care about the Church, they only see
her as a way to gain and wield personal power.

Still, it's an excuse to have more cameras on the streets and turn the whole of
the UK into one big supervised loony bin, so it can't be all bad.
