South Park: Canada On Strike
We all know that South Park episodes are now in public access. Here a new one S12E04 "Canada on Strike". A short description here: "The head of the World Canadian Bureau leads the country into a long and painful strike and the responsibility of brokering a settlement rests with the boys." Not too hard to see where this is going, is it? Thankfully a nice songs was added to bring back the days of "Blame Canada." Two songs within a 22 minute show. The boys from South Park buy into the cause that Canada is suffering because of a lack of proceeds from the Internet revenues and decide to help Canada by staging some Internet viral videos to raise money. There was "Canada On Strike" and "What What In The Butt", the latter of which seemed a mild satire on the Matt Damon/Ben Affleck videos from Jimmy Kimmel Live!Labels: canada, political, south park

McCain wants G8 to exclude Russia
Republican candidate Sen. John McCain has claimed to expel Russia from the G8 club of countries in his speech in Los Angeles. According to McCain's speech "We should start by ensuring that the G8 ... becomes again a club of leading market democracies. G8 should include Brazil and India but exclude Russia." And other word from McCain on Russia: «Rather than tolerate Russia's nuclear blackmail or cyberattacks, Western nations should make clear that the solidarity of NATO, from the Baltic to the Black Sea, is indivisible and that the organization's doors remain open to all democracies committed to the defense of freedom." It seems he don't like Russia.Labels: G8, McCain, political, Republican candidate, speech

Bill Richardson endorses Barack Obama for president
New Mexico gevernor Bill Richardson endorsed senator Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton for the democratic nomination for president of the USA on Friday. Richardson is highly regarded in the Hispanic community, a community where Clinton has got substantial support. Saying some of his words in Spanish, Bill Richardson said the party has a choice between two leaders, but it's time for Democrats to stop fighting among themselves. "Your candidacy is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our nation and you are a once-in-a-lifetime leader," Richardson said as he stood next to Obama. Clinton and Obama had cultivated Richardson's backing in part because the Hispanic governor could garner support among the Hispanic community, the fastest-growing group of the electorate.Labels: Barack Obama, Bill Richardson, Governor, New Mexico, president, presidental, race

Hillary Clinton and Monica Lewinsky were In White House at the same time
White House has released schedules of Hillary Clinton. They shows that she was in the White House during many of her husband's "meetings" with Monica Lewinsky. Actually Hillary Clinton was in the White House about six days when Bill had "something" with Monica Lewinsky. A few days ago Spitzer's troubles hit Hillary's reputation but today she got a new shot. Looks like she's losing leading position in presidental race.Labels: Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, White House

World on alert for satellite debris and fragments
Many countries all over the world is on the alert for possible harmful fall-out from the US shootdown of a failed USA-193 spy satellite. China asks US to provide more datails on satellite explosion.In the meantime FEMA has provided "Memo About Falling Satellite" that have been sent to thousands of local police, fire and emergency service agencies around the country. This 18-page guide also has helpful hints for the public.
Space experts doubt that debris from the spy satellite will hit anywhere near land. Moreover the most likely consequence would be a meteor shower of small bits of debris.
"The debris cloud would cross the dark Canadian coast north of Vancouver fifteen minutes after the shoot down," said Jim Oberg, space analyst. "I expect that some of the most energetically expelled fragments will be hitting the atmosphere all along this track. It could be a meteor shower to remember." More info about debris falling read here.
