There are so many delightfully ridiculous stories in the news this morning, it’s too hard to focus on just one. Here’s a quick rundown of all that is ridiculous in this country:

* Pop star Hannah Montana is taking heat for using a body double briefly during her concert. Allegedly for about 60 seconds a body double is on stage while Hannah changes costumes. No word whether or not she does her own stunts.

* The city of Cleveland (Ohio) is suing 21 banks claiming “…their subprime lending practices created a public nuisance that hurt property values and city tax collection.” No word yet on whether or not this lawsuit will set a precedent so that intelligent homeowners can sue all the stupid and irresponsible homeowners for getting us into this mess in the first place. Way to go Cleveland, you’re finding new and exciting ways to benefit on the backs of others.

* Hillary Clinton has unveiled a “$70 billion dollar economic stimulus” package including $40 billion in tax rebates. No word yet on how much she plans on raising taxes to help pay for the rebates.

* Finally, want to know why some of the free world hates Americans? A recent World Health Organization report stated that 40% of the world does not have access to sanitation facilities and more than one billion people globally still do not have access to clean drinking water. With that in mind, watch this video and you’ll know why those people hate us.

In a hunting trip gone bad, as posted at www.withleather.com, a chocolate Labrador Retriever stepped on a loaded shotgun, triggering it and shooting its’ owner fatally. Investigators “found paw prints and mud from the dog” on the gun. If that’s not proof once and for all that Retrievers are the smartest of all dogs, I don’t know what is.

Here’s the original article.
