Take a break from the start of the week and enjoy one of the greatest comedian’s ever: Mitch Hedberg (1968-2005). His Comedy Central special was one of his greatest live performances.

Local Cows Adopt Orphaned Deer

Deer adopted by cows

Everybody needs somebody to love, even deer. An orphaned deer has been adopted by a herd of cows in West Chester. Apparently, the doe’s mother was hit by a car on a nearby rode. Not knowing where to go or what to do, the young deer started grazing with the herd of cows and has stayed there ever since. The farmer says their interspecies family is getting along just fine.

Breast ImplantsWith the recent advent of the new Video iPod, technology firms are finding more and more places to stick mp3 players. BT Futurology believes they have found the perfect spot: breast implants. With their innovative new design, one implant could hold your entire music collection and the other could house the mp3 player. I’ll leave the controls up to your imagination. The same technology could also be used to monitor heart palpitations, blood pressure, diabetes, and breast cancer.

World’s Oldest Ramen

Archaeologists excavating an ancient Chinese settlement discovered that underneath a well-preserved clay bowl were just as well-preserved noodles. The wheat noodles were found in Lajia, which was destroyed by an earthquake over 4,000 years ago. This surprised scientists who thought noodles were developed around 2,000 years ago.

Well, Japanese millionaire, Daisuke Enomoto, knows what he’s going to do. He’s going to orbit the earth in the International Space Station dressed like Gundam hero Char Aznable. As if robot dogs and indoor surfing were not enough, now Japan gives us millionaires role playing in space.

White House Lies About Teleconference

You might have seen or heard about President Bush’s teleconference with 10 U.S. troops and an Iraqi soldier that aired this morning. What you probably do not know is that it was completely scripted.

Why is that surprising? Because afterwards they said it wasn’t scripted.

See, lying doesn’t work very well when there’s a camera filming the truth. Here is CNN’s video coverage of the event (thanks to ThinkProgress):

Allison Barber Training Troops

Afterwards, Allison Barber, the troops’ trainer, insisted that the questions were not rehearsed. With Rove under the magnifying glass, it is like they are not even trying anymore.

Let’s say the resulting press conference did not go well for Scott. Not only did he get grilled for this lie, he tried to connect Iraq to 9/11. When Helen Thomas called him out on that zinger, he attacked Helen. The other reporters were none to fond of that. C&L has the edited video. You can see the full press conference at C-Span.

Update (10-14-2005 12:52am): OneGoodMove is hosting MSNBC’s take of today’s debacle. They did a good job of showing the teleconference, its rehearsal, and the press gaggle aftwerards.
