Where is THE AMERICAN NEWS?

clipper's remarks: "I can see where it's important if we're, like, beating some country in the Olympics or bombing them or, ideally, both," Grisham added. "But if some Colombian drug lord sinks a ferry full of Israeli soldiers in North Latvoania or Serbo-Malaysia, or wherever, and Americans aren't involved, what has that got to do with me?"

Other respondents said they were appalled, not just by the availability of non-U.S. news, but by the way important U.S. news is reported by some of these foreign sites.

PULLMAN, WASH. (SatireWire.com) — The profusion of international news available on the Internet has made it increasingly difficult for the average American to ignore the rest of the world, a trend researchers say threatens Americans' long, proud history of disregarding anything not about them.

"With all the foreign newspapers and multi-cultural sites, the Internet is making it almost impossible for the average American to remain uninformed and apathetic," said Samantha Lessborn of Washington State University, which conducted the survey. "Americans can still do it. But it now takes effort, whereas before it was as easy as turning off Tom Brokaw whenever he said 'In South Korea today...'"

"Look, I can get around the news. I just turn off Reuters headlines in MyYahoo," he said. "But even some of the search sites like Yahoo and Alta Vista are available in different languages. Like everybody in the world doesn't speak English. Yeah, right."

Americans in the Action as Macao Casinos Soar

HONG KONG — A battle for supremacy in Macao’s gambling market is shaping up between the casino tycoon Stanley Ho and an American newcomer as the Chinese enclave emerges as the biggest gambling territory in the world.

Gambling revenue from casinos in Macao leapt 46.6 percent last year to reach about 83 billion patacas ($10.4 billion), according to industry analysts and officials.

With roaring growth expected to continue this year, Macao is poised to overtake all of Nevada as the biggest gambling jurisdiction, after it surpassed the Las Vegas Strip last year.

US: Another American Muslim Honor Killing?

On New Year's Day, the bodies of two teenage girls were found in an abandoned taxi cab in Irving, Texas. They had been shot multiple times, and the vehicle dumped outside the Omni Mandalay Hotel. The girls were sisters Amina Yaser Said (aged 18) and Sarah Yaser Said (aged 17) who lived in Lewisville. They had been shot dead, according to police, by their father Yaser Abdel Said. This Egyptian-born immigrant had worked as a taxi driver, and had arrived in the United States in the 1980s. He has gone on the run, and is said to be armed and dangerous. A 911 call was made by one of the girls on a cellphone at 7.30 pm to Irving police to say that they were in danger, but the caller could not say where they were located.

News on the murder of the two girls and the continuing hunt for their father (pictured right) can be found at the Washington Times, Dallas Morning News, >ABC News, the Star-Telegram and Fox News.

Couple hits bigger lottery than thought

BAD AXE, Mich. - A lucky couple expecting to cash in their winning Michigan Lottery ticket became a bit peeved when a store clerk turned down their request.

Bad Axe gas station and convenience store owner Eli Kabban said the man and woman showed up Wednesday morning with what they thought was a $150 winning ticket they'd bought Friday.

Kabban said he took the couple into his office and explained the ticket was actually worth $250,000. He says they were "in shock" at the news.

The Magnetic Man (Liew Thow Lin) malaysia

clipper's remarks: Liew Thow Lin, a 70-year-old retired contractor in Malaysia, recently made news for pulling a car twenty meters along a level surface by means of an iron chain hooked to an iron plate on his midriff. He says that he discovered he had the amazing ability to make objects stick "magnetically" to his skin, and now he's added car-pulling to his repertoire. After reading an article about a family in Taiwan who possessed such power, he says he took several iron objects and put them on his abdomen, and to his surprise, all the objects including an iron, stuck on his skin and didn't fall down. Since this "gift'' is also present in three of his sons and two grandchildren, he figures it's hereditary.

Good news for men whose penises are either so large or so small that they can't find a condom to fit them: A German inventor has come up with a sprayed-to-measure system that should ensure a snug fit for even the most unusual sizes.

"With our technology we could spray a condom on an erect elephant," he declared, not without a hint of pride.

The system works a bit like a car wash. The man put his penis in a chamber and presses a button to start the jets of liquid latex, sucked from a detachable cartridge

The condoms will be available in red, green, yellow and transparent, but They won't come in different flavors. "For that one will have to use a flavored lubricant," said Krause.
