hat a wonderful week to
peruse Web news, and
most of it came from the
ever-entertaining blog:
drudgereport.corn.
In a Washingtonpost.com story,
U.S. State Dept. spokesperson Sean
McCormack called
televangelist Pat
Robertson's corn-
ments to assassinate
Venezuela's President
Hugo Chavez "inap-
propriate."
"This is not the
policy 4 the United
States government,"
he said. "We do not
HARRY
share his views."
KI RS BAUM
Pretty strong stuff,
Columnist
Sean. Next time, try
something like:
"The State Dept. does not comment
on idiotic comments, no matter how
important, powerful and close to God
the commentors believe they are."
In the YahooNews.com entertain-
ment section, film star Brigit Bardot
called on the French government to
halt the actions of fishermen who - use
live puppies and kittens as shark bait
near the French island of Reunion in
the Indian Ocean.
Yikes. Puppies?? First it was Save
the Whales, which transformed into
Save the Baby Seals, which morphed
into Save the Chickens from
Inadequate Housing. Now we have to
worry about saving Spot from the
worm bucket.
In a related entertainment story,
according to Breitbart.com — a Web
site that posts news from the
Associated Press and Reuters in no
particular order — actors Brad Pitt,
Angelina Jolie and her adopted son,
Maddox, visited a dinosaur exhibit in
Calgary, Alberta; on Aug 21.
Let me repeat that. Wedged
between a story about the Iraqi con-
stitution and a bleak monthly eco-
nomic report on durable goods was a
story about a visit by a Hollywood
couple to a dinosaur exhibit in
Harry Kirsbaum's e-mail address is
hkirsbaum @thejewishnews. corn.
Canada.
"Maddox was enthralled by the T-
Rex exhibit," said Wendy Taylor, a
spokesperson.
This isn't news, and it's not enter-
tainment either. A T-Rex coming alive
and biting off Pat Robertson's head
could-be both newsworthy and enter-
taining.
Also on Breitbart.com , rock-throw-
ing illegal immigrants brought down a
Border Patrol helicopter near Yuma,
Ariz., on Aug. 23, forcing the pilot to
make an emergency landing, accord-
ing to an AP story.
Where are all the Army gunship
helicopters when you really need
them? At, least put Magnum P.I. up
there until the end of the War on
-
Terror.
In other news of a more personal
entertainment nature, according to
newsNet5.com, the Canton Repository
newspaper reported that of the 490
girls who attend Timken High School
in Canton, Ohio, 65 are pregnant.
The Web site said: "The article
reported that some would say that
movies, TV, videogames, lazy parents
and lax discipline may all be to
blame."
I have to agree with some of that
conclusion, but let's not underesti-
mate the importance of sperm.
In a Reuters story found on
theaustrailian.news.corn, a link has
been found between the region of the
brain associated with daydreaming
and Alzheimer's disease.
"When [healthy] people are concen-
trating on a task such as reading, talk-
ing or solving problems, the brain
uses one set of regions; but, during
down time, it switches to a default
mode," the story said. And the default
mode areas, which allow us to day-
dream when we are young,. "are simi-
lar to the regions where plaques form
in older people with Alzheimer's dis-
ease," said Professor Randy Buckner,
the study's lead researcher.
What the story failed to mention
was what effect daydreaming has on
Alzheimer's.
Will driving my car on the inter-
state, daydreaming about a Pat
Robertson/T-Rex scenario, prevent or
encourage the disease? II
