And they didn't before, you may ask.
Well actually, they didn't.
Swedish tax authorities banned parents from naming the fruit of the loins after fast food chains, rock bands or their favorite brand of beer.
Apparently these things had bad connotations are were not suitable for names.
Tax authority spokesman Lars Tegenfeldt explains “there is nothing negative about a name like Coca-Cola or McDonald's today. In the 1970s, maybe it was.”
Oh the flawless logic.
The bans have been lifted and I'm sure that the Swedes are reproducing at alarming rates just to get the chance to name their spawn things like "Natty Light," "Whopper," and "Phish."
I wonder if anyone got away with "Sam Adams"...
BUT for a disappointed few, God, Allah or Devil are still unavailable... maybe next year.

Corpse's Best Friend
A German Shepard was found next to his owner's body 6 weeks after the man took his own life in Greeley, Colo.
A rancher saw the dog and a search team found the man's body.
This kind of thing makes me believe that love is real, even if it is about a dog.
I would like to think that my Ranger would stay with me!

China Is No Longer Invited to My Birthday Party
And it was a mermaid-themed pool party, they'll be missing out.
First strike, well, obvious reason being they're communists.
Second strike, Tibet.
Third strike, they lied about a gagillion things so that the Olympics could be held in Beijing ie. pollution, improvements of human rights, freedom for the foreign press.... blah, blah...
Fourth strike (apparently you get more than three strikes with me, it must be my forgiving nature...), they shattered my child-like wonder for the amazing and FAKE fireworks.
Fifth, THEY MADE A LITTLE GIRL LIP-SYNC "ODE TO THE MOTHERLAND" BECAUSE THE GIRL WHO ACTUALLY SINGS IT WASN'T CUTE ENOUGH!!!
For real? FOR REAL.
"The reason was for the national interest," said Chen Qigang, the ceremony's musical director. "The child on camera should be flawless in image, internal feeling and expression. ... Lin Miaoke is excellent in those aspects."
"We had to do it," he said. "We'd been through several inspections. They're all very strict. When we rehearsed at the spot, there were several spectators from various divisions, especially leaders from the Politburo, who gave the opinion it must change."
This just makes me really sad.
Can you imagine living in a country that will do anything just to project an image of perfection?
In my opinion, the real singer was as darling as she could be!
Boo.

Being Talented, Apparently Punishable By Death
What is going on?! It seems that ridiculously talented older black men are the flavor of the week for the Grimm Keeper.
First, he tries to nap Morgan Freeman in a car accident in Memphis. Thank goodness he is now recovering.
Second, he takes Bernie Mac, which was quite a shock for me. The comedian was only 50 when he died of pneumonia. Mac kept audiences laughing for years through his shows and many movies.
Now Isaac Hayes?? Hayes, 65, was found Sunday next to his treadmill in Memphis and was pronounced dead an hour later. Hayes was a music icon and lent his talent to many a movie and even South Park. Too cool.
The world just got a little less talented.

U.S. Troops May Be Pulling Out
A deal between the U.S. and Iraq is in its final stages to get troops the heck up outta there!
Combat troops will be leaving December 2010 and will be quickly followed by the rest.
The deal will also restrict troops to their bases as of June 30, 2009 in stead of patrolling streets.
I personally do not have anyone serving there, but I know those that do are thrilled.
Whether or not you agree with the war, you do have to agree that those men and women deserve the utmost respect and honor. Be sure to keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

"If I Were Invisible..."
Well, Clay Aiken may get his wish, which is unfortunate for some girl.
Harry Potter will now no longer be the only one wandering the halls of Hogwarts without detection, scientists are getting close to making objects disappear.
Until recently, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, were only able to successfully cloak 2-D objects.
Metamaterials, which are mixtures of metal and circuit board materials, redirect light around objects. We can see objects because our eyes scatter the light that strikes them, reflecting some of it back to the eye. So, redirect the light and bada-bing, bada-boom, no more object.
I can see how this can do good in the hands of the military.... but how is can do A LOT of BAD in the hands of, oh, I don't know, a RAPIST?!
We'll see how this goes.

Olympics!
So the Olympics are here and they are INCREDIBLE!
The opening ceremonies were absolutely phenomenal.
So far, we're kicking tail and Phelps is making a splash... it couldn't be helped.
The medal count so far is China 14:American 12: 3 gold, 4 silver, and 5 bronze.
But that's okay... maybe we should just let them win, barely, you know, to keep them happy and the rest of the world alive. I mean, did you see the opening ceremonies? They're not playing.
Go team USA!
P.S.- Is the Olympics reminding anyone of Star Wars? Opening ceremonies similar to the Senate...
This just in- The fireworks were faked. I can't comment further due to a broken heart. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26139005/

Pirates, Eh?
CANADA ROCKS!!!!!
Now this is what I'm talking about!
Our northern neighbor will be sending a a warship to Somalia's coast to protect U.N. aid ships from PIRATES!
The HMCS Ville de Quebec is a 440-foot frigate armed with torpedoes, surface-to-air missiles and other weapons, and carries an anti-submarine helicopter!
The U.N. aid helps around 2 million people.
Piracy has become a problem since the French, Dutch, and Danish ended their escorts missions. I didn't know that they even had warships.... jk, we owe the French for that bit of help they gave us some years ago...
30 attacks have been reported this year alone.
This is the kind of thing that America should be doing! Fighting the Taliban or fighting pirates...
Hopefully with the help of the bad-A Canadians, the pirates won't be able to take any booty and the Somalians can keep on keeping on.
