Funny… Unless You’re Kenneth

Hillary Clinton goes to a primary school in New York to talk about the world. After her talk she offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand, and the Senator asks him what his name is.

“Kenneth.”

“And what is your question, Kenneth?”

“I have three questions: First - whatever happened to your medical health care plan? Second - why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office? And third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?”

Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary Clinton informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess.

When they resume Hillary says, “Okay where were we? Oh, that’s right, question time. Who has a question?”

A different little boy puts his hand up; Hillary points him out and asks him what his name is.

“Larry.”

“And what is your question?”

“I have five questions: First - whatever happened to your medical health care plan? Second - why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office? Third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House? Fourth - why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early? And fifth - what happened to Kenneth?”

Another ‘Idol’ Shocker Sends Diva Packing

NEW YORK β€” Another diva bit the dust on ‘American Idol’ with the shocking ejection of La Toya London Wednesday night.

The two singers who received the lowest viewer-vote totals β€” London and Fantasia Barrino β€” were considered the favorites to go head-to-head in the finals.

Wow. Who saw this one coming. The more I watch this show, the less it seems I know. I thought she had been the best performer over the past few weeks. Crazy. I’m not gonna hold a press conference like Elton John or anything but this sucks.

Mac OS X Trojan Horse

Intego today announced its latest virus definitions are offering protection from a new Mac OS X Trojan Horse… AS.MW2004.Trojan

This Trojan horse, when double-clicked, permanently deletes all the files in the current user’s home folder. Intego has notified Apple, Microsoft and the CERT, and has been working in close collaboration with these companies and organizations. The AS.MW2004.Trojan is a compiled AppleScript applet, a 108 KB self-contained application, with an icon resembling an installer for Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac OS X. This AppleScript runs a Unix command that removes files, using AppleScript’s ability to run such commands. The AppleScript displays no messages, dialogs or alerts. Once the user double-clicks this file, their home folder and all its contents are deleted permanently.

Sheeeeesh, looks like my days of gloating are over. Still, the odds are much more in my favor when it comes to being virus free, than on you friendly neighborhood PC. Oh well.

NOTE TO SELF: Cancel download of Office 2004 ASAP!

Microsoft Office 2004

A MacNN reader reports that his copy of Microsoft Office 2004, ordered from the Apple Store, has shipped. Microsoft has yet to make an official shipping annoucement but has previously said the new version of Office would ship some time in May. Now I just have to decide whether or not I really need the new version…and if so, exactly how to get it.
