On January 10, 2007, U.S. House Representative David Wu made a speech on the House floor referring to the George W. Bush administration as Klingons with regard to the Iraq War[9]. The last known Congressional reference to Klingons prior to Wu\'s speech was during a February 03, 1992 discussion of the United States\'s role as a world superpower after the Cold War[10].

Wu said that unlike “the Vulcans of Star Trek”, who “make decisions based on logic and fact”, Rice and her cadre behave more like the warlike Klingons, saying, “there are Klingons in the White House”. Wu continued that unlike “real Klingons”, who are also known for their courage and code of honor, those in the White House “have never fought a battle of their own”. He concludes, “don\'t let faux Klingons send real Americans to war.”[10]

Austrians Not Amused

The local authorities are hitting back with the signs now set in concrete.
British tourists have left the residents of one charming Austrian village effing and blinding by constantly stealing the signs for their oddly named village.

Note that there is no road that goes through both paradise and intercourse.

Maybe not the way you drive.

Introducing Bowser Beer™!
Does your dog drink responsibly?
Is he sneaking sips of your beer?

It is widely known that alcohol, hops,
and carbonation are not good for dogs.

Bowser Beer™ is made from filtered
water, pure malt barley, and infused
with dog-loving beef extract - without
hops or alcohol. It’s low-cal, like our
pretzel treats, so you can spoil without
guilt.

Democrats have laid down the environmental law for their Denver presidential convention this August.

The convention organizing committee is going green to such an extent that any liquid served in an individual plastic container will be banned at all 22 events hosted by the convention. Also banned will be fried foods. Any plates must be reusable or compostable. Catered meals will be expected to follow a strict color code. Such meals must not only be locally or organically grown, but consist of at least three of the following five colors -- red, green, yellow, blue/purple and white. (Oranges and carrots would appear to be have lost out.)

"Blue could be a challenge," Ed Janos, owner of the local Cook\'s Fresh Market, told the Denver Post. "All I can think of are blueberries." Nick Agro, owner of Whirled Peas Catering, is worried. "I question the feasibility," he says, noting that the growing season in Colorado is short and that using "organic stuff pretty much doubles your price."

Then there are ethical dilemmas. Compostable products, such as forks and knives made from cornstarch, usually are imported from Asia on massive, fuel-consuming freighters. Are they a better environmental choice than recyclable plates?

Back in 2003, Democrats snickered at the intolerance of a Republican House chairman who expressed his disdain for France\'s refusal to back the Iraq War by insisting that "Freedom Fries" be served in the House cafeteria. Now, Democrats are going much further with their political correctness. French fries -- and all other fried foods -- will be banned from their convention\'s parties. Food critics are already wondering what else liberals may have in store for us if they have control of both the White House and Congress next January.
