Once again, the New York Times (my favorite paper and the only one I read any more) is hitting us with some shocking, huge stories such as:
1) Oil Companies Reluctant to Follow Obama's Green Lead
What!?!? Are you serious? Really, really rich guys are balking at something that will stop them from becoming really, really, really rich? It's like saying that Bill Gates would be *slightly* hesitant if Obama decided the world needs to use only Macs. Crazy stuff NY Times.
2) Iraq's Newly Open Gays Face Scorn and Murder
I know how we can clarify this situation NY Times. Change "Newly Open Gays" to "Freaking Everyone in the Dadgum Country." A lot of people say homosexuality isn't a choice, but I'd like to throw this out there: coming out of the closet in a country where everyone carries around guns definitely IS a choice. A terrible, terrible choice unless part of the gay lifestyle in Iraq entails a predilection toward getting shot in an alley. Then again, I'm not sure some of these aforementioned gays are among Iraq's best and brightest. One named Basim, a male hairdresser in Iraq, said he wears his hair long, pierces his ears and dons white makeup as signs of his homosexuality.
Earth to Basim! Earth to Basim! You're a male hairdresser. You don't need any more signs.
