Wacko of the Week, July 19, 2008

"JOHN DOE" - Hudson, MA

On an airline flight from the East to the West coast, this unidentified 22-year old gentleman took off his clothes and ambled down the aisle.

This in front of the coaches and players of the New England Revolution a professional soccer team, any one of whom could stomp an antagonist to death in about 15 seconds. The team were on their way to Los Angeles for a game today.

The naked man was subdued by the coaches and forced to redress. Then when he leapt up and tried to open the emergency exit, he was subdued again, and held until the plane made an unplanned landing in Oklahoma City.

The crew of the airliner gave the team a bottle of champagne, anticipating their win today.

Said Craig Tornberg, the Revolution's General Manager, "I've been in tougher scuffles than this one, but not at 30,000 feet.” CLICK

POPE BENEDICT - Went to Australia and urged all faiths to unite against violence. It's a little hard to know how to deal with this plea, because, after all, we are talking about institutional religion. Let's see, there's the Christians v. the Moslems. The Moslems v. the Hindus. The Jews v. the Moslems. The Catholics v. the Protestants. The Sunnis v. the Shiites. And tomorrow, we'll plead for an end to hunger. CLICK

Hooray for Fox News... without them, where would I get my fake news when The Daily Show and Colbert Report are showing reruns?

I saw another flub the other day when they were reporting that a lion had escaped from a wild game park in Colorado... and described it as "male with a red main." A main what?
