From the AP,
"SINGAPORE (Feb. 12) - A cosmetics line that extolled the virtues of "Lookin' Good for Jesus" has been pulled from stores in Singapore after a number of complaints from shoppers, according to media reports Tuesday...
...Promising to "Redeem your reputation and more," the product line included a "virtuous vanilla" flavored lip balm and a "Get Tight with Christ" hand and body cream, The Straits Times said."

Hangdogs Lyrics

somewhere near heaven

Hey little girl with the angel green eyes and the face full of shadow and light
I still see you there in my arms when I wake and I wonder just what I did right
I see the soft slope of your body moonlit through the leak in the motel room blind
And now through this distance and time and travail this bed still feels empty where you used to lie

I wade through the flotsam of empire's decline
I watch ideals shatter on rich men's design
But sometimes I still feel you holding me somewhere near heaven
Just outside of time

Hey little girl I don't mean to hang on, hell, I guess I been getting along
It's just in these damn little moments of nothing I wonder just what I did wrong
I know I ain't pretty or any great find, it's just when the cogs of this life start to grind
I miss you and hope that you find something like we had
Somewhere near heaven, just outside of time

CHORUS
Yeah sometimes I still feel you holding me somewhere near heaven
Just outside of time

Don't FUCK with a Green Beret, EVER!

Once again, my slavish devotion to the Intertubes pays off.
For an anecdote of extremely high amusement value, please check out this mock court martial for the oldest Green Beret.

"Taylor, at age 80 the oldest member of Chapter XXXIII of the Special Forces Association, was on trial by his peers under the charge of failing to use a weapon of sufficient caliber in the shooting of an intruder at his home in Knoxville, TN, in December.

The entire affair, of course, was very much tongue in cheek. Taylor had been awakened in the early morning hours of Dec. 17, 2007, when an intruder broke into his home. He investigated the noises with one of his many weapons in hand.

When the intruder threatened him with a knife, Taylor warned him, then brought his .22 caliber pistol to bear and shot him right between the eyes.

That boy had the hardest head Ive ever seen, Taylor said after his trial. The bullet bounced right off. The impact knocked the would-be thief down momentarily. He crawled out of the room then got up and ran out the door and down the street. Knoxville police apprehended him a few blocks away and he now awaits trial in the Knox County jail."

P.S. It just gets funnier.
