Only Way Any Will Talk To Me Is If I Pay
This has to be a crime against humanity somehow.Men who called a sex chat line to talk to Filipino girls were left short changed - by women putting on an exotic Far Eastern accent.From now on I'm going a little less trusting of the girls I get on these calls.
Callers paid £1 a minute on a premium line to speak to one of 40 women pretending to be from the Philippines.

Party Pooper
A celebration of motherhood.A 40-year-old woman held sex and drug parties with teenage boys, telling police she wanted to be a "cool mom," authorities say.And it was all going great until one of the boys did what every teenage boy being given free booze, drugs and sex does: he told his mom.
[She] allegedly provided marijuana, methamphetamine and alcohol to eight boys at parties she hosted at her suburban Denver home in 2003 and 2004. According to court papers, she admitted having sex with five of the boys.

Might Still Buy Some Dinner, Though
My toe hurts.Oh yeah, and looks like the site is fixed. So I guess this means I'm ending the "broken country/broken site" protest against the infrauduration. At least in appearance, but not in spirit. Besides, I haven't spent a single dime today, so I'm still pure as far as that protest goes. Come the revolution when all you pigs are swept away, I'll be there enjoying your seized property whilst you toil in the fields. All because you had to perpetuate the system by spending money.

Not Good Timing
I would like to announce, because apparently it needs to be, that should any of my friends pop off and do something nutty like thisAn affidavit filed by Washington police said [a man] drove up to a Secret Service officer posted at a gate near the White House on Tuesday afternoon. He claimed to have gasoline that he would use to blow up the vehicle.should I be asked for comment, I won't say something like this
He showed a switch device with wires and said, "I'm not leaving until my son-in-law is out of jail," according to the affidavit.
A search of the van yielded six glass canisters containing a yellowish liquid and six 5-gallon tin canisters containing gasoline, the affidavit said. The containers appeared to be connected to electrical wiring and a light bulb.
"He's not a bad guy," [his wife said.] "He just wanted his voice heard. By golly, they've heard it now."Instead I will say something like, "Shee-woo! That's fuckin' nuts, man. What a fuckup!" I may or may not spit after saying this. That decision shall be left to the moment.

The Usual
Last year, huge controversy exploded at the University of Colorado when a woman, who had been a kicker on the football team, alleged that she had been assaulted and constantly abused, verbally and otherwise. One of coach Gary Barnett's first statements about the accusation was to denigrate her ability as a kicker. That was one first things he thought should come out of his piehole.Further investigation brought more accusations of rapes and assualts as it was revealed that it was common for recruits to be brought to student only parties -- no coaches or other officials -- where booze, drugs, and girls were provided to them. Some girls were there consensually for such purpose; others, though, say they were not. It was during investigations of the alleged assaults that we got the high comedy of the University President, a woman, telling us that the word "cunt" is a term of endearment or respect.
Barnett, true to the cluelessness of his statement described above, took no blame for the lack of control and supervision. Claimed it wasn't his problem, wasn't his responsibility and he didn't know any of it was going on. He was allowed to keep his job. At the end of the year, he was named Coach of the Year in the Big 12 conference.
We can assume many of these for most bigtime programs, but the point is Colorado was caught, exposed and supposedly was taking action. They changed the rules for recruiting to try to get some institutional authority and control to make sure this didn't happen again. Well, at least for a year they did.
Provost Phil DiStefano said Tuesday the university is now allowing recruits to spend more time one-on-one with current players "without coaches sitting there."Could be a reasonable change as the new system adjusts, but it's probably worth watching to make sure they don't do the all-too-typical thing of just letting all the "reforms" disappear as they hope no one is looking.
Recruiting visits are still limited to one night and curfew remains 11 p.m. curfew, DiStefano said. Coaches, not players, are still responsible for the recruits during their stay, he said.
The rules were eased after Jack Lengyel became interim athletic director, replacing Dick Tharp, who resigned. Lengyel said coach Gary Barnett brought up the issue about individual contact between players and recruits.

Rumors
Ok, I took this down for a bit because it was just too rumourish, but there's an AP story on it now too.The FBI notified area law enforcement Wednesday to be on the lookout for four possible terror suspects who may be headed to Boston.ABC Radio reported that a tip came in from Mexico claiming that several men, of varying nationalities, were smuggled into the country with plans of heading to Boston.
A federal law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the matter remains under investigation, told The Associated Press that the FBI's joint terrorism task force has not yet corroborated a tip that the suspects entered the United States through Mexico in recent days, possibly bound for Boston.
(Original post starts here)
ABC Radio is reporting that police in Boston are on alert that someone might, kinda, sorta, maybe, who knows? be trying to get a dirty bomb event there. Nothing's been found; it's just a tip off right now.
Right now details are totally sketchy. Actually, there are no details. Heck, not even FoxNews' website has run with the giant breaking news banner yet... Strange....
Ah, here is something.
The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency has been placed on standby, and public safety officials are meeting at the bunker, officials said Wednesday.May -- and, probably mixed with hopefully -- end up being nothing. This could mean certain information is just taken more seriously in these days.
There have been reports that the FBI office in Boston received a call from an FBI office in California warning officials about a suspicious person that may be in the area. There have been no specific threats made, but FBI agents in Boston have been put on alert, and officials started to gather at MEMA at about 1:30 p.m.

Ahhhht
It's almost to the point where the "garbagemen trash art installation" story isn't amusing anymore. Almost.The binmen mistakenly destroyed part of a city-wide exhibition of installations entitled Nicht Innen Sondern Aussen - Nicht Drinnen Sondern Draussen, or Not Interior But Exterior - Not Inside But Outside.This story does have one of my favorite quotes from the artist in one of these stories.
The sculpture, 10 metres long and 2.5 metres high, was made of folded and cut plastic.
The artist conceded that it was possible he had been almost too successful, as his aim was to create something so real, it would not be seen as art.So what, pray tell, else could a 10 meter long, 2.5 meter high collection of folded, cut plastic look like if it isn't supposed to be obvious art? I think the trashmen answered that question rather well.
"I'm ok with their opinion. It wasn't written on that it is art - there was no sign saying something about it."At least he's a good sport about it. My next outdoor installation of trash bags filled with shredded centerfolds which all had the head of the model torn off before the image was shredded -- The tear express the de-individualization of women, found even in the softest porn, into mere goody parts. The shredding is the inevitable violence resulting from such things. Plus it's easier to stuff more into the bags after being shredded. -- will have a big neon sign modeled on the "NUDES NUDES NUDES" sign near LAX that instead says "ART ART ART".

You Don't Want To Know My Jack Daniel's Tradition
A tradition goes on.The mystery man was dressed for the cold rather than tradition, and some spectators were not quite as respectful as in years past. But for the 56th year, a man stole into a locked graveyard early on Edgar Allan Poe's birthday and placed three roses and a half-empty bottle of cognac on the writer's grave.I do something similar every March 28th at the grave of Captain Frederick Pabst. Every year, I sneak in and put one of my old college papers, a picture of the last woman to reject me, and a hot wing near his grave because the Captain's brew was been with me through a lot of each.
People who stand vigil usually respect the visitor's desire for anonymity, which, along with the visitor's quick moves and the cover of darkness, have kept his secret well.It is, in its way, creepy enough to stand vigil in the middle of a cold night for this tradition, but to get all disruptive? The French have a word for this which when translated back to English is: idiots.
But this time, some spectators "created a nuisance," Jerome said. Some entered the locked cemetery; others confronted Jerome after the stranger had departed and demanded that he reveal his identity.

Today on The Ocho, Deposed Communist Leader Burials!Hello again folks, and welcome to a chilly day here in Shanghai. We all know what's at stake here today. The recent death of Zhao Ziyang, deposed after showing sympathy to the protesters in Tiananmen Square and resisting the resulting crackdown, has the communist Chinese leadership in a quandry over how the official burial should go.
Joining me today is Kenneth Lieberthal of the Brookings institute. Ken, what do the communists have to do to get out of here with a win today?
''It certainly is a delicate issue for the government,'' [...] ''They will want to show respect without being overly glorifying.''Obvious and nuetral insights as always. Let's throw it to our sideline reporter, Professor Richard Baum of UCLA. Rich? What sense are you getting down there on the field?
''I think the leadership will have to walk a very careful, very fine line,''"Thanks, Rich, we never would have thought of that ourselves. We'll get back to you at halftime for the coaches' interview. Also joining us today as our "roving" reporter, Tony Siragusa. Tony!

Ahdeedahs
Speaking of trash talking, I watched "BASEketball" again this weekend. One of the main features of the game is something called the "psych out". Basically, you try to get the other guy to miss be trash talking right in his face (along with other things like Marlon Brando fat, evil mimery (which is redundant) and boards).Back in high school, our coach would have us do something similar during free throw practice to help us work on not being distracted. The fact that we didn't have a gym, practiced on blacktop, had to shoot at the basket that faced the setting sun, and were a mile from the beach so had this constant seabreeze to deal with wasn't considered distracting enough, I guess.
Since we weren't allowed to swear, we had to be more creative. Generally we weren't. Bad jokes about choking, how it was getting a little dusty out there (and sometimes it was since we were outdoors, after all), blah blah blah. The best shooter on the team was on the line, and no one could distract him. Then one guy on the team busted out with the most surreal bit of trash talk I have ever heard.
"You couldn't hit that if it was standing naked on a barbeque!"
The shooter missed the free throw wide left of the backboard as his brain tried to process that one.
I guess you had to be there, but it was one of the most effective, non-cussing or momma mentioning bit of trash talking I ever heard in person. Too bad it was wasted in practice.

Geez, Do I Think I'm A Fucking Critic?
So I only watched -- and casually at that -- the first half of the French Revolution special last night. I recorded a later run and will probably finish it tonight. In that part, if following this game, one would have suffered alcohol poisoning just from drinking with each shot of a blood stained guillotine drop. And it hadn't even gotten to the Terror yet.From what I saw, it was pretty decent, but -- again, only based on the first hour -- was a little disappointing in the over focus on Robespierre. I can understand why he is always made the focus. Heck, look at that name: "Maximilien Robespierre" for starters. His true believer status helps the romanticization of the whole brief period, as well as foolishly ideological revolutionaries ever since. Motive outweighs the actual results; means forgiven as long as the ends were pure (praise of Pol Pot, North Korea and other Year Zeroish regimes by the likes of Chomsky follow from this).
But the closer you look at him, the less fascinating he becomes. I could go on and on, but will stop with this: He is a great example of the true believer's disconnect from human reality who becomes so convinced of the purity and necessity of his goals, he allows himself to be pushed along by devils whispering on his shoulder. I just happen to find those devils more interesting.
Instead of the last half on something I already knew plenty about, I ended up watching the first part of something I knew nothing about: Unforgivable Blackness, the Ken Burns PBS special on Jack Johnson. As a side note, I think many of the interviews for this were filmed at the same time Burns was making his Jazz special (reviewed in part by Eager Jimmy here) because I could swear they are all wearing the same clothes and sitting in the same rooms.
The first part covered Jackson's rise to heavyweight champion of the world. More importantly, the first black heavyweight champion of the world. Not because no black man had been able to win, but because none were allowed the chance until Jackson's obvious skill left no choice. The film of his fights was very interesting to see. You could actually see him interacting with the crowd, throwing as many grins as punches all with the classic body language of trash talking.
Even though I know it was there, the public, idiotic racism always surprises. Quotes from the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, papers in Europe and Australia. This wasn't just an American attitude. Surprise of most was the heavy use of quotes from Jack London, who will be excused as a man of his time, but I had always thought, especially since he was a supposedly dedicated socialist and progressive, that he was, well, more progressive on such an issue.
Anyway, part 2, which will probably be depressing since it is supposed to cover his fall from the heights, is on tonight.

Remembering that tonight is the History Channel's French Revolution program, I thought that these specials need a drinking game. Something like everytime they use the same cutscene again, drink. Everytime one of the experts tries to make a lame comparison to contemporary events, drink. As this is the History Channel, everytime Hitler or Nazis are brought up, chug. And we can get specific. For this one, everytime they show a guillotine drop, drink. Every shot of hupped up cleavage, drink. Every reminder that, if not for France, the American Revolution would have failed, drink. There are so many options.UPDATE: Oh yeah! And don't forget whenever they try to compare the Terror to McCarthyism. That a chug or a drink?

I'm not sure you can call him a hero, but definitely a reminder of the crackdown in Tiananmen Square, which the Chinese rulers work so hard to make everyone forget.Zhao Ziyang, who was ousted as China's Communist Party leader after sympathizing with the 1989 Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests and became a symbol of the era's shattered hopes, died Monday after 15 years under house arrest. He was 85.Check out the Ashcroftian lengths the Chinese rulers went to minimize the news.

[H]e fell out of favor with Deng and was purged on June 24, 1989, after the military crushed the student-led protests, killing hundreds and possibly thousands of people. He was accused of "splitting the party" by supporting demonstrators who wanted democratic reforms.

But Xinhua sent an advisory telling radio and television broadcasters not to use it.

Apparently Tim Blair's site has been cracked with everything being wiped out. I'm surprised it took this long. There were probably dozens of kiddies trying for a long time. However, since it was just deleted and not defaced is very curious. If someone had actually cracked in, one would have thought they'd leave a little message for everyone. Perhaps they did, and it's been erased by now.UPDATE: Yup, technical problem. I thought the lack of defacing was too suspicious for it to be a crack.
