UK NACHO REVIEW - Exclusive interview with Boojum owner in Belfast!!!
Hey kids!
Back with another UK Nacho review.
Ok. Actually this isn't another nacho review, but it's our first nacho related interview!!!
We spoke with John Blisard, the owner and operator of Boojum Mexican food in the Botanic area of Belfast.
You can read our review of the food at Boojum here.
Just to let you Freedom Haters out there know - no money exchanged hands for this interview. We just thought the food was excellent and were interested on what made an American from Philly open up a Mexican food restaurant in Belfast

Freedom Haters Scoops CNN
Today CNN did a story on the Snuggie craze. How funny. I could have sworn Freedom Haters did an elaborate Snuggie story back in December. Way to be on top of things CNN!

Freedom Haters Salutes: GothLoli and Barbershop Quartets!
GothLoli is a fashion among Japanese teenagers. It emphasizes Victorian-style girl's clothing and often aims to imitate the look of Victorian porcelain dolls. The style started around 1997 and became a well-established genre available in various boutiques. Some observers consider it a reaction to the "Kogal" aesthetic.
Barbershop Quartets perform a style of a cappella, or unaccompanied vocal music characterized by consonant four-part chords for every melody note in predominantly homophonic textures.
Together, they are both are a part of Freedom Haters' pictorial salute to.........GothLoli and Barbershop Quartets!

Job Loss at a Record High/Florida couple clones beloved dog for $155,000
American job losses are at a record high. Almost every industry has been hit by massive layoffs. People are losing homes as massive debt is corroding the fabric of our society. Meanwhile in Boca Raton Florida, a couple paid $155,000 to clone their beloved Labrador retriever Lancelot who died last year. The clone, a 10-week-old puppy, was named Lancey!
Owner Edgar Otto said he realizes Lancey might not be just like their departed dog, but "if he's different, we're not going to love him any less."
The newly cloned puppy will be eating dog food, much like the numerous homeless people in the Boca Raton area.
When Campaigns Attack
.jpg)
Get this, according to the Columbia Journalism Review the “high command” of the John McCain campaign, "hired a blogger 'to attack' and engage in 'bullying' the press during the last six months of the presidential campaign." As far as campaign strategy goes, that worked out GREAT!
Once again, it always hurts to bite the hand that feeds you. As the Obama camp proved--in perhaps the most successful campaigns in history-- seducing the media is much more effective than attacking it. Are you listening Sarah Palin?
Axl Rose; The Man, The Myth, The Music
17 years in the making, Axl Rose finally put out the new Guns and Roses release, Chinese Democracy.
At a whopping $13 million, the 2008 release was most expensive album ever produced.
But how much do you know about the man behind the music?

HOW TO BE A CYBER-CRIMINAL!
Cyber-crime is no laughing matter and should be taken with grave seriousness! Especially when it’s committed by some 14 year old locked away in his bedroom in rural Canada. There is nothing funny about that!
Let’s define the problem. According to the Random House dictionary:
crime, n. 1. an awful act. 2. sin.
The Random House dictionary did not contain a listing for the word “cyber” being it was a 1992 edition. But one could only imagine this word has to do a lot with computers! And the Internet. So by definition, “cyber-crime” relates to: a sin involving something to do with computers!

Just Jeans: Three Poems About My Favorite Store
I was at the mall and I saw a store called, "Just Jeans." It inspired me to write several poems about this establishment.
This first poem is called:
JUST JEANS, JUST JEANS, DO YOU SELL ANY PANCAKES?
Just Jeans, Just Jeans,
Do you sell any pancakes?
No! Just Jeans. Just Jeans!
This next poem is entitled:
JUST JEANS, DO YOU SELL ANY FLEA AND TICK POWDER OR DOG FOOD
Just Jeans,
Do you sell flea and tick powder or dog food?
No! Just Jeans. Just Jeans.
This last poem is called:
HOW ABOUT BELTS? DO YOU SELL BELTS?
How about belts?
Do you sell belts?
Yes! Belts are jean accessories.

Get Rich Quick Scams: Stuffing Envelopes
I come across a flyer in a coffee shop: “Would you like to earn some GOOD MONEY to catch up on all your bills and be able to get through this year without going into debt?” Stuffing envelopes is a good honest way to make a living, and, better yet: “Earn 2,500 weekly or more stuffing envelopes at home!!! Honest home workers urgently needed.”

Ivanhoe Author Reveals Facade of Happiness
Show of hands: so who reads Parade Magazine? It's the Magazine Included in Sunday Local Newspapers. Its most popular section has to be Walter Scott's Personality Parade column. This inside front cover institution answers celebrity questions posed by readers who usually bet a steak dinner whether or not Christopher Atkins is still working or what. Scott's writing style is to uncannily mimic emails from publicists.
Last Sunday, Sir Walter outdid himself:
So that's why they don't sleep together. Religion Haters: back off so that this married couple can finally, finally sleep in the same house and drive non-bomb-proof cars.
Outrage Over the New Sasha and Malia Dolls!
.jpg)
The new Sasha and Malia Obama dolls have created a bit of controversy. Ty Dolls, the company responsible for the 1990's Beanie Babies craze, is trying to cash in on a new trend with the pair of "Sasha" and "Malia" dolls. First lady Michelle Obama is not pleased about the marketing of a pair of dolls that bear the same names as her daughters, and find it "inappropriate."
Get Rich Quick Scam: Home Assembly
In these crazed economic times, who doesn't want to get rich quick? In Freedom Haters' ongoing expose, I've tried out several get rich quick schemes to see if they actually work.

UK NACHO REVIEW - OURS!!!!
Hey kids!
We're back with another UK Nacho Review.
This time, though, in keeping with the new spirit that's sweeping through America and the rest of the world, we wanted to keep things positive.
That's why, instead of having sup-par nachos from somewhere here in the UK and then ripping them apart, we're going to be proactive about this whole thing.
We made our VERY OWN NACHOS using LOCAL INGREDIENTS (**mostly - see below).
That's right, you can make tasty nachos for yourself and you've no longer have any excuses.
Now, we're not talking about the nachos you see there on the left. Those are for illustrative purposes only. I didn't want to put a picture of the complete product up here at the top, because that would ruin the suprise.
So, then, put your sombrero on and get ready.

New York Names Kirsten Gillibrand to Senate/ Sarah Palin Not Mentioned Once in News Story
Friday, New York Gov. Paterson, defying the liberal wing of his Democratic Party, has chosen little-known, NRA-backed, upstate Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand as New York's junior senator.
In an even more surprising move, Sarah Palin hasn't called a press conference to link Gillibrand's appointment to herself. Palin has of yet to make any parallels to Gillibrand's treatment by the media and her own (the two happen to be both women). Palin hasn't voiced her views on Gillibrand stemming from the middle class, and viewing that as a "class issue" from her her non-scrutiny by the media (former beauty queen Palin has ties to the working class).
When will Palin tell TV cameras something about sexism taking place on Gillibrand in the news and criticize the media so it can tie back to her being not very bright?
Come'on Sarah! We need you on TV more often. Life is boring without you and the crazy things you say!
Ironic/NOT Ironic: The Pepsi Logo
We at Freedom Haters often present a photo, and it's up to you--the reader--to determine if it's ironic or not ironic.
THIS WEEK: The New Pepsi Logo!
Now, was the Pepsi corporation being ironic or not ironic when they designed their new logo to look uncannily like the Obama for President logo? Was the Pepsi corporation's intentions sincere, or was there an incongruity between the intended meaning of their action and the actual or perceived meaning of their action?
The answer will be revealed shortly!
