Is this at all alarming to the people of Arkansas?
Arkansas has been experiencing some strange occurrences as of late. On New Year’s Eve, an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 birds fell from the sky in Beebe, Arkansas. One day before, 80,000 to 100,000 fished washed up dead on the banks of the Arkansas River. 
 
Not good Eh?
More than 60 per cent of adult Canadians are overweight and 24 per cent are clinically obese, according to a 2009 Statistics Canada report that directly measured heights and weights.

See, you really can't get fired from a Government Job!
A federal government employee who spent as much as five hours a day searching pornographic personal ads on his office computer and sending naked photos of himself from his work email has kept his job.

The Canadian Border Services Agency has conducted an investigation into allegations an employee in its national headquarters in Ottawa was reading and responding to sexually explicit ads on Craigslist, Kijiji and other sites while at work.
 
Dooooood!
Marijuana activist Dana Larsen is hoping his NDP leadership bid in B.C. gets a bit of a buzz from a smokin' endorsement by Canadian comedian Tommy Chong.

"I joined the B.C. NDP for one reason, and that is Dana Larsen," said Chong, best known as half of the comedy duo Cheech and Chong who starred in the potbuster movie, Up In Smoke.
Chong released a video Tuesday in which he appeared in a jovial, relaxed mood, with a Free Marc Emery poster shown prominently in the background. "Dana Larsen can change the face of this country but he needs your help," Chong says.

    Well as for Arkansas... You know who the media turns to to figure out whats going on right?

    Kirk Cameron.

    I shit you not.

    Does Cliff know there was a Left Behind TV series? I think he should be forced to watch it and review it like he did the Left Behind video game. Possibly even live tweeting. Which would probably be quickly pulled into drunk live tweeting of the Left Behind TV show.

    Personally I think that's a win-win.

    Wow, I haven't seen Kirk Cameron in anything in ages. Actually, that was an interesting interview. Anderson Cooper kept trying to make an Apocolyptic connection with the birds and KC wasn't really biting. He didn't sound as wackadoo as I heard he is now.

    I wonder if Cliff has seen that TV series? Cliff, have you...huuuuuh?

    I was surprised that KC didn't go all batshit insane about that. Maybe he figured out people aren't really liking his crazy religion that much and is trying to tone it down. I was actually impressed he kept shooting AC down on that stuff. Then he started in on how the US is heading in the wrong direction. Obviously he's reading the Republican playbook on that score. *sigh* You almost had me as a believer Kirk! You almost had me!

    *le sigh*

    I am aware of the miniseries (and subsequent films), but have not yet seen them. I will at some point. :)
