>> CHANGE: The new administration lifts the ban on photographing military coffins’ arrivals, letting the families of the fallen decide if they want them photographed.

>> SURPRISE!: The recession didn’t go away overnight. The economy just keeps shrinking and rapidly so.

>> Clint Eastwood says down with political correctness. The whole easily-offended schtick is putting comedians out of a job.

>> PENDING EGG SHORTAGE?: Nope, just a continued intelligence shortage affecting mostly the political populace. If comedians weren’t so busy being politically correct, they could’ve thought of a much better joke involving the first black president and watermelons.

>> Lesson learned by Facebook: Don’t piss off social network users. They know how to wield an online mob like nobody’s business.

>> Obama administration puts its Robin Hood plans in action with new tax cuts and increases.

500,000 coffins in middle Georgia?

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Creepiest video of the day comes to us from renowned levelhead and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ website “Prison Planet.” He’s got a video that shows an undisclosed location in Georgia that is stacked with “hundreds of thousands” cheap plastic coffins. The writer notes that Atlanta is home to the world’s busiest airport, near military bases, and serves as the center of operations of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. And apparently — wish someone would’ve included me in this memo — “the Government is expecting a half million people to die relatively soon.”

Let us not forget that if you’re in the stiffs business, you probably want to have a lot of inventory on hand and be located near a distribution hub — such as Atlanta.

If you’d like to read more about your imminent resting place, here’s a website for the products. Here’s a link to another Jones site that actually has some numbers to the whole mess, including speculation about whether we’ll be buried or burned in them. Have a great Tuesday, Atlanta!
