Fresh concerns over health of footballer Paul Gascoigne.

Fresh concerns have been raised about the health of former England footballer Paul Gascoigne after he was photographed looking frail and unwell during a funeral service for England manager Bobby Robson held on Sunday. Gascoigne, aged 42, has battled to overcome alcohol addiction as well as mental health issues since retiring from the game. This has led to a somewhat gaunt appearance. However, "Gazza's" appearance during the memorial service for his former coach, who died of cancer on 31st July of this year has raised eyebrows.

Anti-Obama protestors say racist acronyms "accidental".

Anti-Obama protestors descending in their thousands on Washington D.C. on Saturday have defended the names given to several of their grassroots organizations, saying that their overtly racist acronyms are entirely coincidental.

For example the National Independent Group Guiding Elevated Reform (NIGGER) has stated that its title was guided entirely by a fitting description of its mission to prevent a "government takeover of our neighborhoods" its spokesman also adding "I just don't want this socialized healthcare moving into my street and imposed on my daughter."

Similarly, the Committee Organized to Oppose Nationalization (COON) and the Movement to Overturn the Nationalized Killing in the Everyday Young (MONKEY) have also denied any racial undertones to their opposition to President Obama's healthcare reform agenda. When the racist epithet was pointed out to "MONKEY" the group's spokesperson described it as "accidental" and "purely a coincidence". So far, Republicans, perhaps fearful of losing a key voting bloc, have refused to distance themselves from these groups.

A newly-founded group, the Organization Believing America Mustn't Accept Broad Insurance Nationalization Leading to Absolute Delivery Evaporation and Negligence (OBAMABINLADEN) has also denied such charges, stating on its website "This title simply best describes what is at the core of our philosophy."

How many Khans can you have in a single story?

From a BBC story:

1. "Muslim Khan was a key spokesman for the Taliban in the Swat valley."

2. "He was detained along with fellow militant Mahmood Khan, also reported to be one of the most senior Taliban commanders in Swat."

3. "The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says this is a significant milestone for the army's operation in Swat."

"KHAAAAAN!!!"

John Boehner denies alcoholism in impassioned speech.

Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner gave an impassioned speech on Wednesday dismissing as false persistent rumors that he is a secret alcoholic. "I have an illness that precisely mimics the effects of alcoholism," said the Republican "From the reddish skin, to the gaunt appearance, to the slurred speech, to the glazed and unfocused eyes - this rare illness makes innocent sufferers appear that they are alcoholics when in fact they are not."

Boehner declined to elaborate on any precise details with regards to this "rare illness" but explained that "the disease even produces bacteria in the mouth that produce a strong alcohol-like smell that scientists say resembles the odor of something known as 'Jack Daniels'."

The US Representative also added that doctors had advised him that these bacteria in his body were strongly susceptible to large doses of ethanol and that he had been ordered to drink vast quantities of whiskey in order to defeat the disease. "Normally, this is something that I would never do, but I must follow doctors' orders. This ethanol medicine appears to be the best way to beat this thing, and I am doing my very best to increase my intake. I am asking people to please be tolerant of my appearance during this fight."

Right-wing mob attacks Roger Federer during doctor's visit.

A right-wing mob has attacked Swiss tennis player Roger Federer during a routine doctor's visit in the US state of Wyoming. Federer, who is vacationing in the state, undertook a doctor's visit for a minor ailment, but was met by an angry crowd accusing him of wanting to destroy the US healthcare system.

The incident appears to have been caused by a typo in a series of "educational pamphlets" distributed to right-wing groups by a prominent lobbying front group representing US medical insurance companies. The pamphlet had the banner: "Say no to a federer take-over of healthcare!"

After receiving the pamphlets, one Wyoming-based Republican group apparently learned that the tennis star was visiting the area and immediately set out to ambush the man, yelling profanities and accusing him of being a "Nazi-communist!"

"He didn't know what the hell was going on," said one bystander.

The lobbying group has issued an apology for the typo. Yet, this isn't the first time such a mix-up has taken place. Last month, an angry mob in D.C. attacked Judy Feder, a Professor of Public Policy at Georgetown University after a similar typo in lobbyist-produced materials asked Republican groups to "Say no to Feder take-over."

"We have since undertaken several procedures to make sure that these errors don't happen again," said a spokesperson for the lobbyist group "The medical insurance companies have been very supportive and have agreed to provide $400 million for an entire fleet of spell-checkers."

Fan outrage over planned Disney alterations to Marvel characters.

Spiderman fans have reacted with outrage at a newly-released image of their beloved icon, updated by the character's new owners. The image was released by Disney to mark its acquisition of Marvel Entertainment in a $4 billion deal sealed on Monday. But to many fans' dismay, Marvel's most famous character is apparently being updated by its new owners. "How can they do this? At first I thought it was some kind of sick joke," says Brad Timson, chairman of one of the dozens of Spiderman fan-clubs across the U.S. "They've slapped this idiotic smile on him and those big Bambi-esque eyes. It is really disgusting."

However, a spokesperson for Disney defended the changes: "We wanted to do something special to welcome this beloved character into the Disney family. We decided that the best way to update this great character was to widen his appeal to a broader audience. We believe these subtle changes will do that."

Australian actor to sue Yahoo! over name infringement.

Australian actor Yahoo Serious, star of such movies as the 1988 hit film Young Einstein, is suing the Internet service provider Yahoo! over a new search-engine the company unveiled on Monday. The search-engine is called "Yahoo! Serious" and is intented to be a scholarly search-engine focusing on serious subject-matters such as war or famine. However, Mr Serious' lawyers have announced that they believe that the new service infringes on their client's name. They have issued an immediate cease and desist letter to the California-based company and have also set in motion a $300 million lawsuit against Yahoo!.

"If you will pardon the pun," said a representative for Mr Serious, "We believe that this is a very serious matter. Our intention is to protect our client's name at all costs."

Yahoo! have thus far refrained from issuing a statement on the matter, while inside sources suggest that the company has no intention of taking down the new service.

More somber tone for new Obama album.

Barack Obama released a new album this week, one which seems to be a departure from his previous double-platinum effort Songs in the Key of O. The new album, entitled Show Me the Music appears to have a far darker and more reflective tone. As before, most of the material is written by Obama himself.

That's it.


"Hi, I'm the Dalai Lama. When I look at THE MOTION PICTURE of my life, there is much more to it than just incurring THE WRATH OF KHAN - that's my nickname for China. You know, when secretly I left Tibet as a boy, the people there undertook THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK - that was the codeword they used for me - thinking that I had just hidden somewhere. Now, after all these years, I wonder if I will ever be able to undertake THE VOYAGE HOME. In my mind, Tibet has become like THE FINAL FRONTIER. I've been away so long that my home is almost THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY. It really seems like GENERATIONS ago that I was there. I would love to cross the border and make FIRST CONTACT with my fellow Tibetans, but China fears my return would cause an INSURRECTION. Yes, the still view me as a NEMESIS. Maybe it is time for a reboot (reincarnation). Perhaps the next guy will be the one who gets to return."

Exclusive: Klugman demanded rare test in Jackson autopsy.

Newsifact can exlusively reveal that actor Jack Klugman, famous for portraying a Los Angeles County Coroner in the TV show Quincy M.E., demanded that those carrying out the autopsy of deceased singer Michael Jackson conduct a very rare, time-consuming and expensive test in order to reveal Jackson's cause of death. Klugman was brought in by the Jackson family (as we previously reported) to oversee the autopsy, and sources suggest, he soon started to make waves.

Klugman as Quincy.

Within a few hours of his arrival shortly after Jackson's death in late June, Klugman angrily denounced the cost-cutting shortcuts being taken during Jackson's autopsy. At that point, the Coroner's Office was ready to rule that Jackson's death was accidental. But Klugman demanded an extremely rare test be undertaken - this was met with almost immediate resistance by the powers-that-be. Klugman was an actor that had only portrayed a coroner, they argued. But Klugman reportedly would not back down. The Quincy star then called actor Robert Ito, who played Quincy's assistant Sam Fujiyama, in the middle of the night and begged him to come to his aide and help him conduct the tests. Ito sighed, but came to the aide of his friend.

A late-night call persuaded Ito to help Klugman.

The LA County Coroner's Office soon retaliated, bringing in actor John S. Ragin, who had played Quincy's boss Dr Robert Astin. Ragin then attempted to persuade Klugman that the tests he was undertaking, based solely on some "outlandish theory", would cause a backlog of other cases to build. He also argued that Klugman had no idea of the consequences of his actions and that the bureacratic process had to be respected. But Klugman reportedly could not be persuaded to stop. He and Ito spent the next few nights conducting a series of special tests on Jackson's body.

Ragin: "Do you have any idea just how much time this is going to take?"

One final desperate action was taken: actor Gary Walberg, who played the crusty, short-fused LAPD officer Lt. Frank Monahan on the Quincy TV show was hauled in to angrily tell Klugman that he had better stop wasting everyone's time and just get this thing over with.

At first, Walberg was angered by Klugman's hard-headed attitude.

Reports suggest that Klugman blew his top and gave a long impassioned speech about how doing the right thing should be the number one priority and that if the autopsy wasn't conducted properly, then whoever caused Jackson's overdose might remain free to do it to someone else.

Klugman eventually prevailed and Robert Ito brought the necessary test results from the toxicology lab just in the nick of time. In a stunning reversal, Dr Astin reluctanty sided with Quincy and eventually even Walberg had to concede that he was right. The results were released on Monday, and showed that Michael Jackson had lethal amounts of the drug propofol in his blood - the coroner's verdict was homicide.

A seemingly vindicated Klugman announced the results on Monday.

It was a huge bombshell and, insiders say, entirely down to Klugman's relentless pursuit of the truth. Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, who is at the center of accusations of giving improper prescriptions to the singer, has denied responsibility for Jackson's death. Klugman, returning from "Danny's" pub on his way home to his houseboat in Newport Bay reacted by saying "The truth will soon come out".

Scottish First Minister admits real reasons for Al Megrahi release.

Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond has revealed the real reasons for the recent release of the alleged Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Al Megrahi. "This wasn't about compassion or national security, anything like that at all," said Salmond. "We just did it to piss off the English, whom we really don't like very much here in Scotland. It is quite funny having to watch them get shit for this. I think we pulled it off quite well."

Confusion over fresh Hillary Clinton outburst.

A fresh outburst by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has left many scratching their heads. This time, she appears to have mis-understood a reporter's question during a press conferece held in Columbia related to a currently active hurricane called "Hurricane Bill". Hillary Clinton is in the country as part of a tour of Latin America and was asked to comment on the US government's preparations for "Hurricane Bill", a storm brewing in the Atlantic Ocean that some worry could pose a risk to coastal areas of New England.

"What are you currently doing to make sure Hurricane Bill doesn't cause major damage?" asked a reporter from the travelling press pool.

"I'm not doing anything about Bill!" snapped Hillary, apparently not understanding the question. "He is free to do what he wants! This is about me. If you want to ask about what my husband is doing, then ask him!"


The terse exchange echoed a similar recent incident in the Democratic Republic of Congo, when a translation error led the Secretary of State to believe a student questioner was asking about her husband's, rather than President Obama's opinion on a particular policy matter. "If you want an opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I am not going to be channelling my husband." she replied tersely.
