Today we have news about police arresting a 7-year-old for riding his bike. Meanwhile, in UK, men falsely imprisoned for over 10 years are now being forced to pay for “room and board” for the 10 years!”. And in Portland, Oregon — multiple lawsuits against heavy-handed authorities. (more…)
Interviews with Iraqis who were abused by soldiers: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e4e_1172046239 You know… If I was an Iraqi, I’d make it a point to defend my country with lethal force against anyone who exploits my family and friends. The insurgency will only grow. It will not shrink.
Here’s a couple ‘draft’ postings I never finished… So it’s old news… (more…)
Just getting that out there. Sin City was the best movie I watched in 2006. 300 is almost the worst movie I’ve seen in 2007. (I give that award to Shortcuts, which some liked.) But basically, 300 is just one long fight scene. The fighting itself is pretty cool, but somewhat unrealistic, and everything else in the movie is just cheesy. Including the codpieces. (more…)
Mayan Priests will purify a sacred archaeological site to eliminate “bad spirits” after President Bush visits next week. He has bad mojo, and this resonates quite loudly around the world. Funny. (more…)
Does anyone know where I can get one a bunch of these Crystal Trackballs?
[UPDATE: New computers don't have serial ports, and serial to USB adapters suck, so I now no longer have use for these trackballs, even though I love them!]
[UPDATE: I need PS2 versions of these mice, not serial versions! WHERE OH WHERE CAN I GET THESE?!?!?!] [UPDATE: model #173445 is PS2, as opposed to a different model for serial, I think. Manufacturing was by F.M.I.]

France outlaws taping of police brutality. Which is too bad, because when police handcuff paraplegics outside and rob their house, people should be able to videotape it because it is in the public interest for our protectorates of justice to not be criminals. In other news (links below): South Park started again, and I didn’t notice (first time ever), IPv6 is interesting, and I think people are propagating a use of the word “Anymore” that I, and many others, do not consider valid.

I definitely want to go to this. I’ve been wanting to see Type O Negative perform some of the songs from “World’s Coming Down” since it came out. And considering they did not release an album for 16 years — who ever thought I’d get to see Celtic Frost? I’ve seen them both before, but never together. Freakin’ awesome.
Police taser man having a seizure — Blood tests revealed he was on no drugs.

5 days for imitating a Jackass dance … Very interesting. 5 FUCKING DAYS in juvi for slapping some butts and poking some breasts??? Damn we’re becoming a harsh society. Read on for discussion. (more…)

Do you upload pictures of illegal activity to, say, FlickR? Think you’re safe by marking them private? You’re not. A new proposal from the Justice Department accelerates the Bush administration’s effort to require internet providers to keep track of customers’ actions — a practice known as “data retention”.

Anyone remember Soap? This show totally kicked ass. VERY cheesy/campy, with a deliberately-twisted plot.
