Super Short Notice: THE NEWS CRUISE LIVE at Elsewhere Artist Collaborative TONIGHT

If anybody reading this is in Greensboro, you should drop whatever stupid election night plans you already had and come to Elsewhere Artist Collaborative for A Political Party, featuring live election coverage, fifty pies, and apparently a LIVE NEWS CRUISE ELECTION SPECIAL. It will be the most fun you've had with civic responsibilities since ever. Hopefully we'll be able to podcast this, but that may come a bit later.

"Senator Biden is now my homeboy"

A few weeks ago, Megan and I tried to compare our childhoods. After watching this, it's clear that ours don't come close to matching this kid's:



The whole thing is set up by their teacher, Brian Zimmerman, who is now an official ally of the News Cruise. For more of their reports, check the Youtube Channel.

Questions?? Questions!! Questions?!? Are Barack Obama supporters bear killers? NO, they're just drunk North Carolinians. Is George Takei a Shatner offender? He says no. William says yes. Is pop star Katy Perry a knife glamourizer? The News Cruise's official decision is NO.

In "Cute, Tragic, and Disgusting Animal Stories" we changed the "Tragic" to "Terrifying" in reporting a story about a giant spider eating a bird. Animals are scientifically proven to be good for your health. And lastly a cute Iraqi puppy gets adopted by a U.S. soldier.

It's an exciting week in "Crime" where a Grandma gets arrested for keeping a child's ball. A man pretending to be a real cop pulls over an actual real cop. Also, a woman on the lamb finally gets arrested and sentenced 40 years for scarring her ex's butt with gasoline and a match.

"Pallin' with Palin": Sarah Palin has a budget of $150,000 for her clothes and people are ups--OH WHO CARES!?

Our combined "Space and Science News" segment contained stories of x-rays from scotch tape, a Turkish UFO, and a new alternative to being just plain ol' creamated.

In the human interest segment of "The News Cruise for the People," the world's largest sandwich is ruined by chaos ensuing Iranians. A woman doubles as a notebook. A broom store in Japan doesn't have a handle on its business. A Raleigh man builds his own coffin.

And lastly "The Official News Cruise DUH!!" goes to a story from the BBC reporting that students are using speed to help them in school.

Best Google search that ever led to this blog: "burkina faso allies and enemies"

Upon investigation, we are the eighth result for those terms.

Will that ever be topped? Only time will tell.
