British Court Says 'Internet twins' To Stay Temporarily In Authorities' Care

after the last two weeks, i really thought i'd seen it all, but...i was wrong.  now we've got people adopting babies over the internet, and then it turns out that there were other families that paid money to adopt the same babies, and to make it even more fun, now the trailer dwelling mother wants the kids back after only a few months.
hold on while i digest this...
can this world get any weirder?  i guess what they say is true, you can sell anything on the internet.  next thing you know people will be lobbing their infants up on ebay when the water bill comes due.  
i can see it now "3 MONTH OLD, BLONDE, BROWNE EYE, LOW RESERVE"...click on the link
"you're bidding on an almost brand new blonde haired, brown eyed infant, only used for aprox. 3 months.  STILL SMELLS LIKE NEW!!!  this is a great little piece for any collector.  there are no scratches or noticeable markings.  i liked this model, but just got a newer one from my uncle for Christmas, and it seems to be working a little better for me in the backend.  the reserve is LOW and bidder will pay $36 shipping for priority mail.  infant will be shipped with original packaging, but no manuals"
well, this gives me an idea, i've got some small squirrel bones that i've fashioned into weapons, maybe i could sell them on ebay.  but instead of having a Dutch auction, i'd have a "Ray Carruth" auction, which means, anyone dumb enough to send me money for squirrel bones, will have their car blocked in by me and i'll have a hired gunman take them out for being stupid.
but now that i think about it....if'n i run out of squirrels to eat, and now ebay's sellin babies.......

well, this weekend was full of interesting lessons.
lesson one: i decided, for something different to try to smoke a squirrel.  once i got his tail to stay light, it was a tough draw, but a smooth smoke
lesson two: i learned that with a small piece of squirrel ribeye, i could lure the big black cat next door close enough to the window to grab.  
bottom line....I ATE GOOD THIS WEEKEND!!!
now i know, there's cat lovers out there reading that would say "that's horrible that he would kill a large black cat to eat."  well, my well calculated response to that is....bite me!  i was hungry!
plus, what else was i gonna do, the donut shop was closed.....read on....

Doughnut Shop Closing Is Crisis

HOLD THE PHONE!!!! the donut shop is closing for a week.  well, if i had to sum up my thoughts about this making the newspaper into one word, that one word would have to be...
WHO @#$%ING CARES???
in a country that has just sworn in a new president, the stock market is at best unpredictable, and the most important thing this lady could find to write about is the trauma of local citizens over a donut shop closing for a week.
now, don't get me wrong, i believe one of the finest things in the world is a nice glazed donut with no cracks in the glaze.  but then again, i also believe that gravity is just i nice idea.  and i also believe that Sam Kinison (God rest his soul) was one of the world's foremost comedic geniuses.  and believe me, after you've been eating squirrels for a couple of weeks, a little glazed donut sounds pretty darn good.  but i just can't understand wasting good newspaper space over a donut shop.  but, to their credit, i've read their paper, and it was really one of the more interesting things they've published in a while.  (remember the article about the teacher suing the school district for $16, man i can sure pick em)
maybe next week she could write about the genocide taking place against the squirrel community.  or, maybe she could cover the traumatic closing of the men's room at the local pizza shack, because the locks are broken...again.  now that's riveting journalism.
and the worst part is, i can't decide which is worse, the fact that they published this piece of crap, or that i wasted time, not only reading it, but writing about it here.

ANNOUNCING

the opening of a new site of a twisted friend of mine.  as of this past weekend The Dogg Pound was opened for business by "The Skinny Kid".  now for the disclaimer, the views expressed on the sites linked to from here, are not the views or opinions of the management of the palace, but some of them are darn funny.  best of luck to ya Skinny Kid.

also, Midwest Lanes in Glenwood, IA, just opened their new site this past week as well.  this site was designed by co-owner Bill Cap, and if i may say so, he did a mighty fine job with it.

Music News

this is a palace EXCLUSIVE!  
Rusty Needle Tatoo Parlor's new album is coming along quite well.  over the weekend i had the distinct pleasure of hearing a couple of the tracks off the disk, and it didn't suck.
unfortunately, my favorite track may not make the final cut, and that was a little screwin around track where they did a little rap version of Manic Jester, with just bass and drums. they have also started to post their music on napster.
there are still a couple of tracks left to do, including Splitline.
Samples from the CD will be available for download here at the palace soon

Ex-CIA Director Day Plead Guilty To Misdemeanor

surely you jest.  can this really be a true story?  a man works for the government, illegally takes information home to his unsecured computer which is hooked to the internet, and he's going to get away with pleading to a misdemeanor?  
"Provisions of U.S. laws on espionage make the willful mishandling of classified defense information a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Taking classified information home without authorization is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison"
now can you tell me what the difference is?  wouldn't taking classified info home without authorization somehow qualify as WILLFUL MISHANDLING? 
you know what would happen to me if i had some classified documents on my machine here at home?  they'd kick my door open, and haul my little redneck butt to prison.  but...luckily for me, they'd have to be able to get to the basement, where i'm locked, and i have some squirrel bones that i've fashioned into small weapons, and they'd have themselves a bit of a spat on their hands.  i've been practicing, i can take a flee off a squirrel's back at 15 yards.
i just don't understand how these people who we charge with the security of our country, can break all of the rules, jeopardize this safety of this great country, and then expect not to be prosecuted. 
 i suppose it's just yet another example of how the rich in this country are only expected to follow the laws that they find to be in their best interests.
