Don’t count your chickens before…the Chupacabra gets them?

It’s always said that everything is bigger in Texas, but is everything weirder there as well?

Just recently reports of a blue skinned dog-like creature being spotted, have been cropping up all over the large state. Some have even gone as far to say that this is the Chupacabra, the creature that is known in folklore to kill chickens, goats and other livestock.

Capitalism Republican Style

In a recent opinion piece posted in the Washington Post, one Ada M. Fisher talks about how the health care reform bill is a danger to Americans. She questions if the ailments of people who continue to smoke and eat unhealthy food should be covered by the people who keep themselves healthy. She also states that parents who have children with genetic defects and continue to have children knowing that these spawn may continue to have genetic defects should not be on society’s tab.

A look into Miss Fisher’s name finds that she is applying for congress. She’s a republican as well as a doctor. Here is her campaign website.

Tourism Libel: Write it here, get sued there

In the UK, Tourism Libel is a term used in cases where a defendant charging someone with libel is either not from Britain, or the person charged with libel is not, or neither are from Britain. Although, the publication must have been released in Britain for the High Court to accept the case. The Lord Chancellor has set up a working group to review these cases in the media or other types of publication to ensure they are truly cases of libel.

One of the first cases of true ‘Tourism Libel’ can be traced back to Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1990 when he used the High Court to sue British author Wendy Leigh, when she used sensitive and unverified material in an unauthorized biography about Schwarzenegger.

You won our 8th Gold, but NO DRINKING ALLOWED!

As celebration of the victory over the US women team went on in team Canada’s locker room last night, some players may have become over exuberant.

Included in the festivities were cigars, champagne, beer and underage drinking. One of the players Marie-Philip Poulin is 18 and was not of legal age to be drinking alcohol in BC. Of course this has caused some great ‘controversy’ and as has been the trend lately throughout the Olympics, Canada has been feeling the heat from the media over it already.
