YOU CAN'T UNSEE SOMETHING, WHICH IS WHY POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO REQUESTS THAT ASSOCIATED PRESS LEARN TO USE SPOILER WARNINGS. IN FACT, SKIP AHEAD 30 SECONDS IF YOU DON'T WANT US TO SPOIL THE BIG MARVEL COMICS NEWS. WE'LL WAIT.... DUM DE DUM...OKAY, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS, YOU'D BETTER SKIP AHEAD.... RIGHT, HERE WE GO. Captain America has undertaken his last mission — at least for now. The venerable superhero is killed in the issue of his namesake comic that hit stands Wednesday, the NEW YORK Daily News reported.

On the new edition's pages, a sniper shoots down the shield-wielding hero as he leaves a courthouse, according to the newspaper.

It ends a long run for the stars-and-stripes-wearing character, created in 1941 to incarnate patriotic feeling during World War II. Over the years, an estimated 210 million copies of "Captain America" comic books, published by New York-based Marvel Entertainment Inc., have been sold in a total of 75 countries.

OKAY, SPOILER OVER!!

A TWO-THOUSAND YEAR OLD SEED HAS GERMINATED AND HAS NOW BLOOMED, ACCORDING TO AN ARTICLE IN HAARETZ. DR. Elaine Soloway HAS BEEN GROWING Methuselah FOR TWO YEARS, AND MAY SOON TRUST THAT IT IS HEALTHY ENOUGH TO REMOVE FROM THE NURSERY, WHERE IT HAS BEEN SHELTERED FROM MODERN PLANT VIRUSES. THE SEED, FOUND IN Kibbutz Ketura in the Arava, ISREAL, WAS CREATED AT ABOUT THE TIME OF THE Great Revolt of the Jews against the Romans, FROM THE YEARS 66-73 OF THE CHRISTIAN ERA.

http://www.dailypressandargus.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070307/NEWS01/703070306 YESTERDAY, I CALLED VICKI FYKE, PRESDIENT OF THE Livingston COUNTY, MICHIGAN Organization for Values in Education A DICKHEAD, AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN -- SHE'S A DICKHEAD. SHE ASKED THE LOCAL U.S. ATTORNEY TO CHECK INTO THE FILTH TEENS WERE BEING PRESENTED WITH IN HIGH-SCHOOL LITERATURE CLASSES -- TRASH LIKE Toni Morrison's "The Bluest Eye," Richard Wright's "Black Boy," Erin Gruwell's "The Freedom Writers Diary," Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five," and Augusten Burrough's "Running With Scissors." THANK GOD, NOT EVERYONE IN MICHIGAN IS A RIGHT-WING LUNATIC -- THE DAILY PRESS AND ARGUS OF LIVINGSTON COUNTY REPORTED WEDNESDAY THAT Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse found that assigning the books does not violate any criminal laws because the Board of Education had approved them, and taken as a whole the books are not harmful to minors as defined by the law. NOW, WHAT YOU GOT RIGHT THERE IS THE LEGAL DEFINITION OF OBSCENITY. THE BOOKS AREN'T OBSCENE, AND ANYONE WHO ISN'T A DICKHEAD KNOWS THAT. BUT NOT OUR VICKI FYKE, WHO IS WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE F-B-I AND WHO ALSO SAYS SHE'S GOT A SECRET PLAN COOKED UP TO GET THEM BOOKS OUT OF THE HANDS OF IMPRESSIONABLE TEENS AND INTO A BONFIRE, WHERE THEY BELONG. OKAY, I'M PARAPRHASING. LOOK, The books dickhead over here wants to ban helped shape and save my life, and I'll stand in front of the steps of the Livingston County Courthouse and give copies of these books out to every teenager I see while chanting "Vicki Fyke is a god-damned dickhead!" through a bullhorn, see if I don't.

God bless Michigan as she sinks into the lakes under the weight of poverty and ignorance.

RANDI RHODES ON AIR AMERICA POINTED OUT THAT THE NATIONAL REVIEW WAITED ALL OF TWO AND A HALF HOURS YESTERDAY AFTER THE VERDICT BEFORE DEMANDING THAT I. LEWIS SCOOTER LIBBY BE PARDONED BY PRESIDENT BUSH FROM HIS CONVICTION FOR BEING A LYING DOUCHEBAG. THE REVIEW EDITORS SAID: The trial that concluded in a guilty verdict on four of five counts conclusively proved only one thing: A White House aide became the target of a politicized prosecution set in motion by bureaucratic infighting and political cowardice. BOO HOO HOO, CRY ME A FUCKING RIVER, COLLABORATORS.

TWO STORIES FROM THE ROBOT BEAT: BOING BOING DOT NET REPORTED THAT A web-based "expert system" that helped users prepare bankruptcy filings for a fee made too many decisions to be considered a clerical tool, an appeals court said last week, ruling that the software was effectively practicing law without a license. OUR EDITOR, MOJO, SAYS HE Really wantS to see a construct like this take the Bar exam. ITEM TWO: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6425927.stm An ethical code to prevent humans abusing robots, and vice versa, is being drawn up by South Korea.

The Robot Ethics Charter will cover standards for users and manufacturers and will be released later in 2007, ACCORDING TO B-B-C NEWS. It is being put together by a five member team of experts that includes futurists and a science fiction writer. THAT WRITER, OF COURSE, ISN'T ISSAC ASIMOV, AND NOBODY WANTS TO MENTION THE THREE LAWS OF ROBOTICS, BECAUSE WE'RE ALL TRYING DESPERATELY TO FORGET THAT SHITTY WILL SMITH MOVIE.

THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!

I LIVED IN FRANCE, ONCE. NOTE THE PAST TENSE. NOT THAT THINGS ARE PERFECT ANYWHERE, AND I'D PROBABLY MOVE BACK, BUT AT THE COST OF MY RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH. INTERNET CRY-BABIES IN THE USA WHINE WHEN THEY ARE QUOTE UNQUOTE CENSORED ON MESSAGE BOARDS, BUT AT LEAST THEY CAN POINT THIER CAM-CORDER AT DAMN NEAR ANYTHING THEY LIKE IN THE STREET, IF IT DOESN'T INVOLVE NATIONAL SECURITY. TO DISCOURAGE YOUNG SHITHEADS FROM VIDEOING EACH OTHER BASHING PASSING STRANGERS FOR YUCKS, THE FRENCH CONSTITUTIONAL COUNCIL HAS APPROVED A LAW GOING TO THE ASSEMBLEE NATIONAL TO BAN ANYONE WHO IS NOT AN ACCREDITED JOURNALIST FROM TAKING PICTURES OF ACTS OF VIOLENCE. THE WIRE SERVICE STORY PICKED UP BY MACWORLD, VIA RAW STORY, SAID The law could lead to the imprisonment of eyewitnesses who film acts of police violence, or operators of Web sites publishing the images, one French civil liberties group warned on Tuesday.

The council chose an unfortunate anniversary to publish its decision approving the law, which came exactly 16 years after Los Angeles police officers beating Rodney King were filmed by amateur videographer George Holliday on the night of March 3, 1991. TRUST ME, THERE REALLY IS A DIFFERENCE HOW WE DO THINGS IN THE USA -- WORK TO PRESERVE IT.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/07/books/07baudrillard.html?_r=1&oref=slogin ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES, The French critic and provocateur Jean Baudrillard, whose theories about consumer culture and the manufactured nature of reality were intensely discussed both in rarefied philosophical circles and in blockbuster movies like “The Matrix,” died yesterday in Paris. He was 77.

POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR FRITZ - KNOWN FOR HIS REAL PURTY MOUTH -- ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT REGARDING THE EXISTENTIAL CONDITION OF M. Baudrillard:

The tangle of circumstances, texts, amino acids and body odors that have commonly come to be known as "Jean Baudrillard" have taken on a slightly less accessible tonality sometime in the recent past.

Most of what "he" is still persists. But as is the progress with all great thinking, this tangle has reached a point where we can no longer directly interrorgate it.

Historically, this condition for a tangle like "Baudrillard" has been termed "death."

I'm willing to say that, from a laymen's point of view:

"Baudrillard is dead."

But I only say such an imprecise thing out of deference to my current cultural millieu.

Sunglasses, also known as sun mirror, which used for shading. People’s eye adjusts the flux rely on regulation in the sun .when the light intensity of more than ability to regulate for the human eye, it will cause harm to the human eye. So in outdoor activities, especially in the summer, many people are using to block the sun visor mirror to reduce eye fatigue or adjust the light stimulation caused the damage.
