A New, Greener Terrorist...


This, from a guy who blew up two buildings and crashed an airliner and numberless other heinous acts....If it were anyone other than him, it would be funny. It's pathetic how hard he is trying to be relevant, a has-been terrorist.

Just shut up and slink away and go back under your rock. We Don't Care What You Think! Haven't you figured that out yet? You are irrelevant. We aren't afraid of you, so stop wasting your breath and our time.

Bin Laden Blames U.S. for Global Warming in New Tape

Friday, January 29, 2010

CAIRO — Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden has called in a new audiotape for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming.

In the tape, aired in part on Al-Jazeera television Friday, bin Laden warns of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring "the wheels of the American economy" to a halt.

He says the world should "stop consuming American products" and "refrain from using the dollar," according to a transcript on Al-Jazeera's Web site.

The new message, whose authenticity could not immediately be confirmed, comes after a bin Laden tape released last week in which he endorsed a failed attempt to blow up an American airliner on Christmas Day.

  • If you're scared of heights, it may be time to look away now.

Not content with having the tallest building in America, the owners of Sears Tower in Chicago have installed four glass box viewing platforms which stick out of the building 103 floors up.

The balconies are suspended 1,353 feet in the air and jut out four feet from the building's Skydeck.

Mine That Bird pulls off upset in Kentucky Derby




LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Mine That Bird dug up a miracle, stunning the field to win the Kentucky Derby with a dynamic stretch run through the mud Saturday at Churchill Downs.

The 3-year-old gelding and jockey Calvin Borel found room along the rail deep in the stretch then pulled away for a 6 3/4-length win to give the 50-1 long shot one of the biggest upsets in the 135-year history of the race.

It was the largest margin of victory in the Derby since Assault won by eight lengths in 1946. Barbaro won in 2006 by 6 1/2 lengths....
