THE WEEKLY RIOT
June 11, 1999
Your task is not to seek for love,
But merely to seek and find
All the barriers within yourself
That you have built against it.
Rumi

IN THE NEWS THIS WEEK:
THE GODDESS' WEENIE OF THE WEEK AWARD GOES TO: Abdul Aziz, Chief Minister of the Malaysian State of Kelantan, during a recent lecture to government employees (this is an actual quote):
"There are far too many pretty women in the government offices at the moment, distracting male workers and lowering business efficiency with their pert and yielding tightness. We must be ever watchful for possible, immoral activities and it is well known that pretty women cause unhealthy activities that lead to insanity, blindness, sickness and bends. That is why from now on thorough ugliness must be considered a deciding factor at all job interviews. Since the prettier candidate has already been blessed by God it is only right that we should hire the uglier one. After all, if we do not choose the ugly candidates, who will?"

In April, prominent Canadian geneticist Robert Hegele told a conference in Edmonton, Alberta, that when he revealed to some Newfoundlanders in remote villages that they possessed a genetic flaw that increased their chances of heart disease, they were happy. Their initial reaction, said Hegele, was, "This is great! They figured, 'This means we're doomed, so we . . . don't need to quit smoking or [stop eating fatty foods].' "
THIS WEEK'S OBLIGATORY BLONDE JOKE(S)
A blonde was complaining to her friend about constantly being called a dumb blonde. Her friend tells her, "Go do something to prove them wrong! Why don't you learn all the state capitals or something?" The blonde thinks this is a great idea, and locks herself up for two weeks studying.
The next party she goes to, some guy is making dumb blonde comments to her. She gets all indignant and claims, "I'm NOT a dumb blonde. In fact, I can name ALL the state capitals!"
The guy doesn't believe her, so she dares him to test her. He says "Okay, what's the Capital of Montana?"
The blonde tosses her hair in triumph and says, "That's easy! It's M!"
