Well it's time for another roundup of the insane, the bizarre, the ridiculous, and the depraved. This is the first roundup of 2005! If you have suggestions for the Insanity Roundup, feel free to email the links, or leave them in the comment section!
1. The Ideology of Love
2. Let's be frank. The UN doesn't NEED Bush to undermine it; UN officials seem perfectly capable of doing that all by themselves. (See here and here for proof)
3. IT WAS A PLOT OF THE CIA AND US MILITARY ! I knew it all along.
4. Did you know that you might not be able to get a divorce when you are pregnant?
5. Now this is a diet I could live with!
6. In search of Elvis' Holy Grail...
7. Sometimes a cigar (or a hot dog) is only a cigar! And sometimes it's not.
8. The idea is to keep on doing this until you get the result you want. Hey! It worked in Washington, didn't it?
9. OK, I agree. But "blog"?? What should we use instead, pray tell? (Maybe that's their point?)
10. Academic freedom apparently means the freedom to crush opposing views.
Finally, what could be more insane than the death of over 120,000 human beings in a natural disaster whose magnitude simply boggles the mind? Whatever one could say about this tragedy would be inadequate. And the death toll is likely to continue to grow from the secondary effects of the disaster. If you haven't donated to the relief efforts, there is an excellent compilation of places to donate at The Command Post.
BTW: Here is a before/after IKONOS photo of Sumatra where the quake hit - IKONOS satellite images show Aceh on northern Sumatra in scene details, at 2-meter resolution, taken by the IKONOS satellite from 423 miles in space, over Indonesia. The image on the left was taken on January 10, 2004 while the image at right was taken December 29, 2004.
Not many natural disasters change the geography of the planet like this one did.
