Things I Find Interesting for Wednesday

Will this be a regular feature or not? I have no idea, but I have scoured the internet news feeds to bring you a few things I found interesting this morning. Since almost a thousand visitors have visited this month, I figured you need some new and exciting content.

Looks like MySpace has some more trouble. The previously reported 7000 sex offenders banned from their service has expanded to 29,000. Duh! I am continually surprised by the stupidity of some people who think that the internet will not be exploited by every predatory population in the world. In most cities and towns where do pedophiles hang out? The parks and places children are at. Why would they not be gravitated to a place with such a massive population of young kids. It’s insane! Hucksters, con artists, and all sorts of seedy types go to these places because its a huge repository of easy targets. It’d no different than the porn industry embracing the internet.

As most of you know, I stride the political fence because my socially liberal and fiscal conservative nature makes it a tough sale to adhere to any party. Today’s target is the Republicans of New Hampshire. They have a fundraiser that allows supporters to fire machine guns for a small fee. My favorite part is the pull quote from Jerry Tibodeau. “It’s a fun day. It’s a family day.” Come here, Billy, and lets fire off an Uzi and a military assault rifle. Does anyone else think this is a little troubling?

And this last one is for your viewing pleasure. Somehow a deer got stuck on the roof of a university building in Nebraska. Uh…how did it get up there? Sorry, no time to link it right. I gotta bolt.
