Small Bits of News You Didn’t Know you Needed

If I Was President
Those who say John McCain and Barack Obama waffle on the issues should vote for gun-toting, meat-loving rocker Ted Nugent, who makes no bones about what he'd do as president. "I would instruct the US military warriors to do their job - win the global war on terror right now and eliminate all threats from all sources by any means necessary," Nugent writes in his new book, "Ted, White and Blue." He'd also "take appropriate gas and oil from Mexico and the Middle East as payment for all debts we are owed by them." I would as well end diplomatic immunity and taxpayer health care for elected officials. The "Cat Scratch Fever" wild man would eliminate welfare, and "able-bodied Americans who refuse to work will be sent to Cuba, Mexico, England and France." As for the UN, "I would refuse to pay one red cent more to the UN until other nations pony up their fair share - but maintain membership just to keep our eyes on the bastards."

Teen Who Overdosed at Party Begged for Help, Was Ignored
Australian teenager Melanie Boyd begged her friends to call for help after taking a lethal cocktail of booze and drugs, an inquest was told.
But by the time an ambulance was called, three hours after she was found "blue" and "struggling to breathe," the popular Townsville private school student, 16, was dead.
In a tearful apology Thursday, Matthew Aubrey, 20, told an inquest into her June 2006 death that the first-time drug taker wanted to call for help when two fellow drug users at the "pharm party" fell into fits of convulsions.
But the six partygoers talked each other out of calling for an ambulance — because they did not want to involve the police.
"It was not my party, not my house, not my call," said the youth, who was 18 at the time and the oldest at the party.
"Knowing what I know now, I wish I was smarter."
Parents Laurie and Julie Boyd angrily refused to accept his emotional plea for forgiveness as well as that of the teenage girl who supplied the drugs and hosted the beachfront house party.

He reportedly arrived in Goa on September 29 and entered the bar at 8am local time on Wednesday.
Some reports said security staff at the bar joined in the bashing.

Mayor who wanted 'uglies' gets 'bloody attractive' girls
The unrepentant mayor of an outback town who begged ugly girls to move to his town to snag a man has said some "bloody attractive" girls applied instead.
John Molony, the mayor of Mount Isa attracted a flood of protest in August when he tried to solve a gender imbalance in the small town by suggesting that "happiness awaits" "beauty-disadvantaged women" who moved there.
However, Mr Molony, who refused apologize for his remarks, said he had now been contacted by more than 50 women intrigued by the offer: some of them were "bloody attractive".
"It's getting a bit embarrassing, because some of these girls are beautiful," he said.
"While the media were beating me over the head with a stick, girls were sending me emails from all around the world and a surprising number from across Australia."
