Fake News: Its getting a little sticky in the Gulf


So sometimes our Fake News might be truer than true news. There are plenty of garbage television shows out there for you to do that with. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the latest in our Ode to Fake News: When it comes to licenses to kill, James Bond has them all. Who trust a guy with the last name Broccoli anyway? But when it comes to Licenses to be naughty. James Bond has that on lock as well. But now James Bond has the opportunity to get a little naughty, Italian style, as the Astin Martin releases its new vehicle Superleggera.

With speeds from 0 to 60 in a little over three seconds, a tops speed coming in around , and a sleek body to die for, James Bond will have a License to thrill or essere cattivo in the near future at a theater coming to you. Coming to a theater and a car dealer near you, this November. Deep in the heart of North Carolina, one Hardees restaurant had a problem. Although problem maybe a light description for what occurred. And now, through the generosity of our government officials, they are giving out free Hepatitis A vaccines to all of the people who ate at the Hardees restaurant between June 13 th and June 23 rd.

It just makes good sense. Whether the Big Lebowski resides in Mexico or not, we at the Guide refuse to research.

How can it be the land of Fake news you ask? As much as he who shall not be named has popularized the term, we are actually well behind the curve when it comes to fake news. Other countries like Iran, North Korea, and Russia made sure that their oppressive regimes did much more to alter the consciousness of its citizens than the U. All those communist or theocratic regimes have a press that is not free.

Mexico and the U. This can make the press more dangerous, like irresponsible flying rattlesnake stories, or in the case of Mexico, more open to corruption through bribery. As in the past, the ruling party of Mexico took money to tow the party line. Or possibly were threatened by drug cartels, whichever came first. Living in the State of Confusion, otherwise known as the State of California, one can be warped by the economics of the state.

How is this possible you ask? Aside from inflation, and what some term as gentrification, I really have no honest answer to how economics works in California in general, or in La La Land specifically. And while this seems crazy, one city has taken upon its self to become the most insane city economically in our crazy State. One city stands out above the rest. As much as I love the look and feel of the Bay Area, I think I escaped living there with the cost of living shooting into the stratosphere. Trying to envision the amount of money someone would need to make in order to be considered rich makes my brain hurt.

For years we were always told to alert ourselves to any sharks lurking in the water. In fact, the Stephen Spielberg masterpiece, Jaws, made a generation of kids afraid of going to any beaches whatsoever. Decades have passed since the making of that film and people did slowly make their way back to the coastline and the ocean breeze which calls to me right this very second.

And people have taken to bringing their whole families out to the glorious coastlines. But the town of Pensacola, Florida is doing the best it can to convince us to take up mountain climbing as a preferable summer escape. I know you think I am pulling your leg. Having lice survive in water seems antithetical to the nature of lice. Well, it seems these small creatures, which are actually tiny Jellyfish larvae, can get into your bathing suit and terrorize your skin cells making it look like a rash of bugs swarmed over your body and bit you every one-quarter inch.

I guess I am going to make that trip to the Yosemite this year after all. As Canada just decided to make sure it came out on top in the Doobie wars, the U.

Ajax Small Grid

Now that Canada has legalized Mary Jane for the masses Congress have jumped on the Weed Wagon. Or is it a suppressant?

WATCH: 'Fake news', a most difficult dilemma

We at the Guide are unclear as to where we stand on the legalization or decriminalization of drugs. Although life sentences for pot dealers need to end. What we can say is woohoo! I want to hear your ideas, so please be sure to leave some great ones in the comments. This is a story that tries to make me laugh and cry all at the same time. Now that you are all on the edge of your seat, I will continue. Because it appears this Rockstar picked up something other than an STD and cirrhosis of the liver after being in Gran Canaria.

This infection he attained was so bad it caused his body tissue to start dying. He then went on a plane to try to get medical attention but the stench was so bad the flight now is nicknamed Air Vomit One. They made an emergency exit due to the smell of the passenger in Portugal.

While it may have spared the passengers the necessity for more paper bags, it did not save the poor man. Whatever the case, I now know, you stink to death, is a real thing. So once again, we turn to the sunny shores of California and to the city that looks down on the rest of us and sneers in San Francisco. What could possibly going on there now you ask?

  • Veiled Eyes (Lake People Book 1).
  • New BP boss Bob Dudley 'doesn't need to fake his empathy for the Gulf coast'.
  • The Last Darling.
  • Sky News Arabia leads 'fake news' campaign targeting Qatar!

It turns out that restaurants are a little short staffed. What all of this means is that the restaurants in the area cannot possibly hire good wait staff. No wait staff could live on that little. It turns out, more and more restaurants in the Bay area have turned into serving yourself establishments where little to no wait staff is necessary. If I am lazy and I do not want to cook my whole meal, I will have to go somewhere and serve myself.

Makes perfect sense of course. Because the biggest way to get recognition for your cause is to make such a public nuisance of yourself, you cause the fire department to bring out two giant mattresses out and stall traffic trying to get the guy down before he does a backflip onto the mattresses. I suppose one might suggest there were further reasons for him going out there and dancing around with just a pair of boxer shorts on. There could be a possibility he was out there trying to make a music video without having to pay any city fees for using public property to film.

And it could also be they filmed the whole thing to be released in the next couple of weeks. The increasing ability for smartphones to invade our lives and extract every bit of information it can from us, all selling it to the highest bidder, surprises even me. And then people run around acting self-righteous about Facebook. Look at that shiny new tool our smartphone provides us. People are developing an app for your smartphone which will measure the amount of gas in the air your food produces when it begins to rot. But some part of me just cannot get over the idea of sticking your smartphone next to rotting food and hoping the result will be good.

It is one thing to drop your cell phone over the floor. Even if your cell phone is waterproof, imagine trying to clean that off.

Thank you for making us your weekly fake news oasis. Single father who just takes things one day at a time and wants to give his daughter the best opportunities for her life. I created this site to speak to other parents and single parents about the struggles of parenting and to let them know that they are not alone in the struggle. Love this series, fun to read. That new Aston Martin Superleggera is so sexy though, I might be willing to go on a risky mission myself to get my hands on one.

Another great addition to the fake news archives. These make me really laugh and are so entertaining. Ok, so the waters in all of Florida is horrible. When they released hundreds of gallons of water from Lake Okeechobee, they destroyed the water between there and here. Our river is just green and they are advising not to even go boating on the water. Oh, you are hilarious!

How does a Taco Bell worker make it? The restaurant industry will surely die LOL. Another wonderful edition from your fake news edition! My favorite was 8 and also loved your images. Looking forward to your next edition soon! How about starting fake news bulletin videos: And expand them in the blog! Will be so much fun! This is so funny. Number 10 made me smile. Lol this is really interesting. Yup, I would love a phone that can help me predicting the future, or determining whether a person is lying or telling the truth! But having these posts will help a lot to expose fake news!

Soon to become the new chief executive of BP, an aptitude for reversing may come in handy as the year-old American seeks to turn around Britain's biggest company. Maybe Bobby was the right kid to put in that environment.

A softly spoken figure with wispy blond hair and an easy-going southern drawl, Dudley was born in the New York suburb of Queens but spent his childhood in Mississippi before moving with his family to Chicago as a teenager. He spent summers swimming and fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, giving him a personal insight into the region's oil-drenched coastline.

After studying chemical engineering at the University of Illinois and obtaining advanced management qualifications from two US institutions, Dudley spent two decades at the US energy company Amoco, joining BP in a merger with the British company in He spent five years running the combined group's Russian joint venture, TNK-BP, culminating in a sticky ending when the Russian government declined to renew his work visa.

Angel Cabrera, president of the Thunderbird School of Global Management where Dudley studied international business, says the BP boss and his wife, Mary, were a "thundercouple" at the school back in the late s. Dudley and his wife now have two children.

Tackling BP's catastrophic spill, says Cabrera, will be a personal issue: When he shows empathy in terms of the oil spill in the Gulf, he doesn't need to fake it. Dudley's carefully chosen words have chimed more successfully with Americans than the occasionally intemperate remarks of BP's outgoing chief, Tony Hayward. Contemporaries from his deep south childhood recall Dudley as an academic high flier who rarely lost his cool.

Nothing, nobody, could get him angry," says another schoolfriend, Charles Brent.
