Headline Insanity

It's time for some headline fun. Here's a sampling of what's in the news and why you should be concerned:

- We're still 4+ months from the start of college football, but ESPN couldn't wait to start over-rating THE Ohio State University. Apparently, Jim Tressel is having a hard time finding ways to challenge his players. What? Are all the D-2 Ohio schools refusing to play Ohio State now? Will THE Ohio State University have to play out of conference games that actually pose a threat? Stupid useless nuts.

- In an effort to reach more people, an Ohio church has started holding services at a local bar. For some reason, they think this an original idea. Um, check the bible, padre. Jesus turned water into wine on a regular basis. How do you think Christianity got to be so popular?

- Apparently, the only way to learn about the Koran and Islam is to be a slave beggar for some sort of Muslim holy man. The locals seem to believe that giving up one or more sons to be a slave is a sure-fire way to get yourself into paradise. Is there any "normal" behavior that gets you the 72 virgins in Islam? Anybody? As a side note, it's a pretty interesting story, if you have the time to read it.

- Al Gore is shocked that his movie hasn't inspired the world to change its views on global warming. His next move? Another movie. Do you know what the definition of insanity is? Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.

Enjoy your Tuesday.
