• Scientists use performance-enhancing drugs -

20 percent of scientists polled by Nature Magazine use either ritalin (66 percent of users), provigil or beta blockers (this was just an April Fool’s Day joke)

• Republicans boo latest addition to the U.S. Congress - Jackie Speier (D-CA).

“The process to bring the troops home must begin immediately,” she told Pelosi. “The president wants to stay the course and a man who wants to replace him suggests we could be in Iraq for 100 years.

She’s not particularly different from other democrats, so why the hostile reception? If anything, her life is just tragic.

• Bush cries -

No, not for the lives of more than 100,000 Iraqis killed by his stupid war but during a ceremony honoring a Navy SEAL.

• You can buy stolen military weapons on Ebay and Craigslist -

including parts for F-14 fighter jets, unused chemical-biological canister and a used Nuclear Biological Chemical protective suit, all stolen from the Department of Defense, of course.
