Kerry Concedes to George W. Bush

The crew of an Australian military helicopter was suspended after one of the fliers held up a sign asking women to bare their breasts as the aircraft flew by spectators at a car race. We've all been there. What's the big deal.

Police used a stun gun to subdue a man who started choking a police dog that found him after a chase on foot. And that's what we call, battery on an officer. Go to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

A high school student's KKK costume garnered a top prize — and a five-day suspension — at the school's Halloween masquerade party. I don't get this. Don't get me wrong. I'm no racist, but you can wear a costume representing satan, the most evil, hatred, horrible entity in entire universe, you can go as a Nazi which openly killed more people than can and should be counted, you can go as anything in the world, no matter how evil or how many people he/she/it killed, just as long as it doesn't offend the black community? I don't usually say this on my site, but that's bullshit. Again, I'm not racist. I just don't get it.

India's northwestern state of Rajasthan has punished local officials after residents complained a group of Israeli women motorists had danced in the nude near a town revered by Hindus.

A man leaped into a lion's den at the Taipei Zoo on Wednesday to try to convert the king of beasts to Christianity, but was bitten in the leg for his efforts. Guess he's not a very religious lion. This guy gets the idiot award of the day for his efforts.

"Kemosabe," the name given to the Lone Ranger by his friend Tonto in the 1950s TV western, is not a racist term. C'mon. There are so many things in this world to worry about that are far worse. You think it bothers me for someone to call me a cracka/cracker? I could care less. I am a cracka. If my name were Jack, I'd be cracka Jack. I see a name change in the future. That's just too funny.
