It’s raining kids

Hallelujah, it’s raining kids…

Here’s the thing about cultural sensitivity: it’s good to respect other cultures but when it involves bodily harm, it’s OK to ask a few questions. Female circumcision, for example. For me, throwing babies off of a roof seems like a really bad idea. But hey, what do I know?

Obama “Hopes It Up” on The Daily Show

If he doesn’t get elected President, Barrack Obama has a career as a spokesperson ahead of him. Listen to him “hope up” a couple of phrases, including one from a telemarketing campaign.

The second worst thing about this story is that it makes me agree with Fox News on something.
Dad was in IRAQ. I mean, come on.

President Dad?

Rudolph Giuliani is probably running for President, but so far his son Andrew seems to be not so interested:

Rudolph W. Giuliani found himself distracted in the midst of his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination by questions about skeletons in the closet of a messy divorce. He had to respond to remarks last week by his son, Andrew, 21, that, as a stepson, he had “a little problem” with Mr. Giuliani’s wife, Judith Nathan, and had not until recently spoken to his father “for a decent amount of time.”

Mr. Giuliani told reporters, who bombarded him with questions at a California event, “It’s the kind of thing that I think affects a lot of families these days.” He also has a daughter, Caroline, 17, by his former wife Donna Hanover.

…

Mr. Giuliani’s case, some experts agreed, seems particularly tough because it comes with the considerable baggage of a public and bitter divorce. (Ms. Nathan is Mr. Giuliani’s third wife. His first marriage, to his second cousin, Regina Peruggi, was annulled.)

So after divorcing his second cousin (!), marrying Donna Hanover and announcing his divorce via press conference, then clearly having an affair while still married to Ms. Hanover and finally marrying a third time, Andrew is a little miffed at dad? We’ll buy that. If Guiliani does in fact run, it might be the first time in the history of the country that what kind of father someone is becomes a deciding factor in a Presidential election.
