Japanese videogame makers are staging a futile effort to prevent hackers from coming up with patches to remove the clothing from CGI-generated female beach volleyball players. Apparently there are already such things for a nude version of Tomb Raider, with Lara Croft in the buff.
Seems like an oxymoronic use of the word “patch.”
The foreign minister of that mighty world military power, Belgium, says that US war planners “lack professionalism.”
Right. Next time we have to put together a plan for being a doormat to the Germans on their way to France, we’ll be sure to give the pros a call.
Perhaps we should aspire to a “professional” standard that allows thousands of Rwandans to be hacked to death with machetes while we stand by and watch.
In related news, the French foreign minister accused us of arrogance, and poor hygiene.
The DEA is finally going to quite wasting taxpayers’ money on those stupid drugs and terrorism ads.
I think they know they were getting laughed off the air.
It’s nice to know that somebody reads my Fox News columns.

Al Gore is defending the Dixie Chicks. Here’s a stupid quote.
“They were made to feel un-American and risked economic retaliation because of what was said. Our democracy has taken a hit,” Gore said. “Our best protection is free and open debate.”
Our “democracy has taken a hit” because some fans decided to spend their money on music made by a non-ditz instead of on hers.
Black Lists! Censorship! Oppression! McCarthyism!
Mr. Gore apparently subscribes to the notion of freedom of “speech,” but not freedom of CD purchases. If we don’t pump more money into Natalie Maines bank account, democracy has failed.
Somehow, that doesn’t surprise me.
