Finally Friday!


Nothing gets me pumped up for a weekend like George Jones' "Finally Friday." Go to this link, click on Finally Friday, and listen to a sample if you have never heard it.

Now to some news stories that you should know about.

Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama both voted against the war funding measure, making them 2 of only 14 senators to oppose the measure. Looks like they are racing to see who can be the most un-American and win the Democratic primaries. Read it here.

The Pentagon released an Al-Qaeda torture manual this week. See the graphic examples (in cartoon form) here. This must be a misunderstanding, since Al-Qaeda follows the religion of peace and all.

Senator Inhofe of Oklahoma mocks fellow Senators and their hearings on global warming here. Senator Inhofe batting clean-up on the New Right All-Star team.

Speaking of Oklahoma, a law restricting public funding for nearly all abortions has just gone into effect. They must be doing something right down there. Read about it here.

On a lighter note, in the UK, a man broke the world record by staying awake for 11 straight days. I can't even imagine this. Read it here.
