Thanx for the link's Infodell ....
Actually "fracking" been going on in the Dallas- Fort Worth Metroplex for several year's now, mainly on the Fort Worth side, I did some posting on it sometime back, they even had a fracking set up being built on my daughter's university campus in Arlington last I heard.
What a story about the 13 year old surviving over 60 bullet's, I thought it was a kid at first, not an Orangatan (spelling?)
As far as the Saudi's thinking GhostBusters was a documentary, I beat em to it, I already knew it was (just kiddin : ) But that brought back fond memories on the mention of that movie, I really liked it, even though it's been year's since I seen it ... I liked that part too when the new hire guy was applying for a job, and the secretary asked him if he believe's in paramormal shit and a list of other related ... and he said something like "I'll believe anything you want for a paycheck ... " ... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, that's the American spirit : ) I got a kick out of that guy too that was a tax accountant of somekind, who would throw them client parties for yuppies, and tried hitting on the chick next door to him : ) Never give up my man : )
I still got some more to read though ....
Actually that dancing at wedding's shit goes on in Afghanistan too, if you recall, some kind of Taliban rulez.
I been intending to do a piece on the Lady GaGa tour situation because I been following it of course, and actually thought that they would finally give in and the show would go on, I just cant imagine that. I really feel sorry for the 50,000+ concert goer's of Jakarta, GaGa will make up that attendance worldwide, so it's not much lost to her production's. I also heard negative talk coming out of the Philippines too, and even Philippines has a growing hardline muslim movement, mind you that, that country for long was strongly catholic. But it's a damn shame for alot of fan's worldwide, because if they get away with this in that country, other's will try it. And GaGa getting threat's? geeezz, even christian fundamoralist's in America arent that freaked out (at least not most, and let's keep it that way). Now you can see why I dont like that shit in my country ... the muslim attack on art across the board is way too strict, not just music. Enough from me though.
Cruel to orangutans, cruel to music fans -- I'm glad I don't live in Indonesia.
