Robin Hood DEAD!
India’s Robin Hood has been killed according to CNN. I’m not sure what significance this has on my life but I do find it interesting. I did not know there was a Nottingham, India but we all learn something new every day. The man known as Veerappan was killed by a special task force put together to do just that. Veerappan was known for his daring exploits, most recently the kidnapping of India’s top movie star Rajkumar. Rajkumar was released unharmed.
I just like his Handle Bar Mustache.
For anyone who didn't see John Stewart call Tucker a Dick.
For those who didn’t hear the American Hero John Stewart was on CNN’s CrossFire last friday and he had some kind words for the hosts:
STEWART: In many ways, it’s funny. And I made a special effort to come on the show today, because I have privately, amongst my friends and also in occasional newspapers and television shows, mentioned this show as being bad.
BEGALA: We have noticed.
STEWART: And I wanted to — I felt that that wasn’t fair and I should come here and tell you that I don’t — it’s not so much that it’s bad, as it’s hurting America.
CARLSON: But in its defense…
STEWART: So I wanted to come here today and say…Here’s just what I wanted to tell you guys.
CARLSON: Yes.
STEWART: Stop.
STEWART: Stop, stop, stop, stop hurting America.
BEGALA: OK. Now
STEWART: And come work for us, because we, as the people…
CARLSON: How do you pay?
STEWART: The people — not well.
BEGALA: Better than CNN, I’m sure.
STEWART: But you can sleep at night.
STEWART: See, the thing is, we need your help. Right now, you’re helping the politicians and the corporations. And we’re left out there to mow our lawns.
BEGALA: By beating up on them? You just said we’re too rough on them when they make mistakes.
STEWART: No, no, no, you’re not too rough on them. You’re part of their strategies. You are partisan, what do you call it, hacks.
