Hahahaha

The media is reporting that Svend Robinson is expected to plead guilty on Friday to stealing a ring at an estate sale.

So why am I so amused? Is it a simple case of schadenfreude? Maybe. Is it because I can't stand Svend Robinson and his self-righteous arrogance and I enjoy seeing people like that having to face up to what they've done? Perhaps.

No... no, that's not it.

It's because his lawyer's name is Michael Bolton.

Hahahaha.

I can't help it! It's too easy! There's a reason they made a whole gag about it in the movie Office Space:

Samir: No one in this country can ever pronounce my name right. It's not that hard: Samir Na-gheen-an-a-jar. Nagheenanajar.
Michael Bolton: Yeah, well at least your name isn't Michael Bolton.
Samir: You know there's nothing wrong with that name.
Michael Bolton: There was nothing wrong with it... until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.
Samir: Hmm... well why don't you just go by Mike instead of Michael?
Michael Bolton: No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.

Let's see... horrible musician, character in a movie, and Svend's lawyer. Sounds like the start of a joke. "Three men named Michael Bolton walk into a bar..."

Okay, I'm easily amused. The secret's out now.

Oops!

Palestinian terrorists tried to bomb an Israeli bulldozer, but instead ended up blowing up three other Palestinians:

The roadside bomb in the Rafah refugee camp went off a few metres from where the bulldozer — part of an Israeli operation to destroy weapons-smuggling tunnels from Egypt — was piling up dirt in a crowded residential area, Associated Press Television News said.

No Israelis were injured but three Palestinian men 200 metres away were hit by shrapnel, one so severely it took off half his skull.

Ten people were wounded, including a Reuters TV cameraman, witnesses and hospital officials said.

The violence came a day after extremists killed three Palestinians convicted of collaborating with Israel — two of them in their hospital beds — highlighting the progressive breakdown of law and order in Gaza.

I guess the security fence is so effective in preventing the terrorists from targeting Israelis, that they're turning their bombs on other Palestinian terrorists instead.

I give it about 10 seconds until the terrorists claim that Israelis killed the three men, and start referring to them as "martyrs".

Blogging on hold

Playing catch-up at work and filling in for vacationing coworkers is taking up pretty much all my time these days. Blogging will be slow for the time being but should be back up to speed shortly.
