"pant's on fire" bush
work was
crappy as usual. but i got some spare time and through this spare time, my day has been brightened by one, if not multiple, highlights. this highlight of my day is, of course, concerning bush.
to save the best for last, i will mention the other highlights first such as evidence of corporate abuse from KFC (
"Video shows chicken abuse at KFC supplier"). However, one should note that the spokesperson for KFC, Bonnie Warschauer, had stated that "KFC will not buy chickens from
the plant unless it can be assured the abuses have stopped". Thus, it's only from the plant as opposed to the company. Moreover, KFC is not even bothering to an investigation with the actual company.
On another note, I would like to say that there is hope after all in this world. (Gen) Pinochet's finances are being probed! And with this evidence,--I suppose I have to say
possible evidence--Pinochet can be charged and prosecuted for the many atrocities he has caused. Worse, his coup in 1973 has been named as "one of the bloodiest in 20th-century Latin America". On a brighter note, however, Pinochet's immunity has been lifted since May. (Please refer to
"Court lifts Pinochet's immunity",
"Chile opens probe into Pinochet finances".)
Finally, the highlights of highlights. Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben and Jerry's, has created a Bush effigy tour around the US. To quote Cohen,
In a polite society, you don't go up to a person and look at them in the face and say, 'You're a liar.' We think it's a lot more dignified and there's a lot more decorum to say, 'Excuse me sir, your pants are getting a little warm, don't you think?'
