Survivors of suicide bombings can catch infectious diseases by being perforated with the bomber’s bone fragments. One woman picked up a case of Hep B that way.

According to Fox News, high-level FBI officials were covering up for gangsters and hit men. But we’re supposed to think that they wouldn’t do the same for a corrupt President?

P.J. O’Rourke finds several silver linings in the corporate corruption scandals.

I just ran across an interesting blog (and no, I wasn’t looking for it–it was sent to me in an email). It’s by a woman who works the counter, for $6.50 an hour, in a p0rn video store. Very fascinating insights into (the sometimes dark side of) human nature and, from what I sampled of it, it’s not X-rated–just R.

From yesterday’s post (note that the blog is upside down–the most recent is at the bottom, and it started back in February, and there don’t seem to be any permalinks).

Here’s what I’ve learned in my year-and-change as a p0rn clerk: men like p0rn.

Admittedly, my sample is skewed because many men come to our store just for the p0rn and have other accounts elsewhere, but almost all of the men that come in do eventually go down to the p0rn section. And I don’t mean “almost all” in the 90% sense, I mean all but maybe two since I’ve started working there.

This is a lesson because I now understand that pretty much any man I date is going to at least occasionally rent and enjoy p0rn. I don’t think a lot of women have fully dealt with that. If one reads the advice columns, a lot of women can’t even deal with the idea that their mate m@sturb@tes at all. Ladies, please. Chill out.

Matt Labash has a hilarious dissection of the life and times of Angelina and Billy Bob. If anyone’s column had to replace mine of yesterday over at Fox, this is certainly a worthy one.

There is, of course, an immutable law of celebrity: The more nauseatingly and insistently two stars proclaim their togetherness, the closer they are to coming apart. (Witness Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, Jennifer Lopez and Puffy, or America’s Sweetheart, Julia Roberts, who has declared her eternal devotion to everything that moves, and several things that don’t). Meanwhile, celebrity couples that evidence staying power, like Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, tend not to conduct interviews with their legs coiled around each other’s heads. A stable marriage is about more than wearing each other’s panties and draining each other’s blood. Sure, that’s part of it. But these things are no substitute for the things that really matter: responsibility, fidelity, mental stability.

Gee, remember when everybody was frantic because AOL and Time/Warner were going to take over the known universe? Kind of like everyone thought that Japan was going to buy up America.

I don’t usually engage in schadenfreude, but I’ll make an exception in this case, because it’s so poetically just.

The AOL meltdown has busted Ted Turner. Guess no more big giveaways to idiotic causes for him.

And I found this sentence most amusing:

His ex-wife Jane Fonda was much luckier and escaped major damage from the wipeout. In her prenuptial pact with Ted, she got a maximum of $10 million in AOL stock, but in the past year she gave away most of it to environmental causes and liberal Democrats running for public office.

I hope they held and didn’t sell.

It’s not looking good for the miners in Pennsylvania–the drill that they were using to make a new shaft broke its bit, and they’re losing valuable time flying in a new one (one wonders why they didn’t have a backup already there).

But it seems to me that there’s another problem that I haven’t seen discussed. They’re pumping compressed air in to force back the water. Presumably the air pressure down there is pretty high, and they’ve been down there a long time, so they’ve got to be pretty nitrogen saturated. When they rescue them, how are they going to keep them from bending, perhaps fatally, when they come up to surface pressure? Are they just going to medivac them to the nearest hyperbaric chamber?
