Bear Grylls Bares It All

Fans of Bear Grylls will enjoy his interview in tomorrow’s Sunday Observer. This interview is part of their This Much I Know series.
During the interview, Grylls, who is about to embark on an expedition to Antarctica, revealed that:

I said no to TV three times, because I didn’t have the confidence to do it

Mount Grylls

Bear Grylls and “three of my best buddies” will be going on an expedition to Antactica, to climb a 9,000 foot–high mountain, which has never been climbed before. After Grylls leads his team to the summit, they will be allowed to name the mountain.
But “Mount Grylls” is not the primary reason for this expedition [...]

Idiotic Prosecution

What would you do if you were peacefully surfing the Web, on a computer at school, when all of the sudden, your screen was filled with random pornographic images?
I would turn it off, then call “Tech Support.”
Julie Amero, 41, of Windham, Connecticut, lost her Connecticut Teaching License on Friday, for doing nothing, except panicking.

One of my all–time favorite shows, was Jackass, which aired from 2000–2002 on MTV. Jackass had no plot. It was just a bunch of guys, acting like idiots.
My favorite performers, were Johnny Knoxville, and Steve-O, who often injured themselves, performing stunts.
For two examples, watch [...]

Idiotic Legacy

This Adminstration, which I will remember for starting a war, which has left 320,000 Americans with traumatic brain injuries, is not done.
Our leaders our now after our most vulnerable group: animals. First, they made it harder to add new species to Endangered Species Act of 1973. Then, unlike previous administrations, they stopped adding new [...]

Idiotic Rapper

Rico Wright, 28, a rapper, from Dublin, Georgia, was sentenced to 40 years, for shooting 25–year–old Chad Blue, 25, in the groin, and then bragging about it in a song.
What an idiot!
In August 2006, after Blue encountered Wright and two other men on Grey Street, he said:

“I heard one of the men tell Rico, [...]
