What is there to write about? Well, that is a good question. World and national news is sooooo depressing these days with those three clowns Moe, Larry, & Curly, oops, I meant Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld in Washington. How silly of me to get the six of them confused! Tsk - tsk. Unfortunately this is not a comedy. If it is it's the most perverse one of my lifetime. One can only hope that some good will come out of this mess by making the election of somebody other than Bush possible.

Well, this sure isn't Kosher...

" A California woman claimed she swallowed a live bullet and bit into a second round while eating a hotdog, and says she has the X-rays to prove it. Police said on Thursday they were investigating the bizarre incident the 31-year-old woman said happened at a Costco store in Irvine, California, about 47 miles southeast of Los Angeles.

"She said she had swallowed one bullet and felt another in her mouth," Irvine police Lt. Jeff Love said. "She showed us the bullet and we took it as evidence. We had them cut up all the other hot dogs and found nothing in the buns." A spokesman for Seattle-based Costco Wholesale Corp. COST.O> said the company had no comment on the incident, which occurred on Sunday and was still being investigated.

The woman showed local television news an X-ray of her stomach with a bullet lodged in it.

Love said the Hebrew National brand hotdogs served at Costco were prepared under Kosher laws with a high standard of cleanliness, and were X-rayed before leaving the factory.

He said it appeared "highly unlikely" that a hot dog would leave the factory with an undetected bullet in it."

Ouch...it's a wonder she didn't break a tooth on that one.

Then we have the case of man biting dog...

"A man fleeing police in the South African city of Durban bit the dog and police officer ordered to apprehend him, police said on Friday.
"The guy actually bit the dog... He was stupid because those dogs are trained not to let go," Superintendent Danelia Veldhuizen of Durban police told Reuters.

The man ran from a house where he is accused of raping a young mother at knife-point on Thursday. The police dog unit was alerted to give chase. The man is expected to be charged with rape and robbery.

Veldhuizen said the man bit the policeman's finger right through to the bone, but the dog was fine."
