Apparently Denmark is looking to claim the North Pole as an oil grounds for themselves, but I’m sure they’re just looking for Santa. Full story.

Romanian cuts off penis; dog eats it
You thought you were having a bad day? This guy managed to mistake his penis for a chicken’s neck, and cut it off. A dog ran up, assuming it was food, and gobbled it up. Thanks Matt for the link.
Kerry Vows to Fix Mt. St. Helens
Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry kept George W. Bush on the defensive today, telling a Pittsburgh audience that the president had allowed the long-dormant Mount St. Helens to erupt on his watch and promising to “fix the volcano once and for all” if elected in November.
[…]
Kerry said that Bush had refused to keep an eye on the troubling increase in volcanic activity at Mount St. Helens because he was “totally obsessed with Iraq.”
“I’ve got news for George Bush, ” Kerry said. “Saddam Hussein isn’t erupting. Mount St. Helens is erupting.”
After accusing Bush of being “in denial” about “the molten magama [sic] stewing inside that sucker,” Bush fired back, saying that it would be “sending the wrong message” to say that Mr. St. Helens was erupting.

St. Helens Pictures
In case you live in a hole, you already know that Mt. St. Helens is blowing its top. Again. If you want to get some good pictures of the action, the U.S. Geological Survey has some great pictures online from the last couple weeks. A ton of Oregon bloggers can see it, and have posted their comments. Thanks Barney for the pictures link.
I Guess I’ll Go To Office Max

State Police Need Press Release Writing Help
Got a good one from Barney. The Springfield Oregon State Police office issued a press release to the media. The release was about Robert Earl Smith being sentenced in Eugene. He was a messed up fella, pleaded guilty to 42 counts including multiple counts of Sodomy First Degree, Sexual Abuse First Degree, Using Child in Display of Sexually Explicit Conduct and Encouraging Child Sexual Abuse in the First Degree.
So they send the press release to media outlets around the state as a MS Word document attachment. The name of the file? “Naughty Grandpa.doc.” Brilliant, you idiots. You just lowered the credibility of your organization and potentially opened yourself up to more problems. Learn how to write a press release, will ya?
