Where'd that link go?
Google has removed a link to the Burma funds of two US charities from its UK home page following a request from the British Red Cross.
The Red Cross requested that the internet search giant replace the hyperlink with a link to the Disasters Emergency Committee instead so that UK donations could go to British charities and benefit from Gift Aid.
Google removed the link on Monday, but ...

Actually this is more like Ultra Swain here...
you know, funny for a minute or so but
quickly tiresome? And thats all I could stand..
But yes starring all members of the BFC troupe with a special appearance by Coldharvest as Felina
But come to think of it, at least Steve Martin is funny.
....yet comparing Coldharvest to possesing the likable charm of a chimp is insulting to all primates
Good song that Steve Martin ruins.
Jumper youre running too deep undercover.
Try not to make it too personal, he has a point about working for a living
or are you feeling bad extra-wanky about Blackwater and it makes you feel really bad because Snipes was caught and not Blackwater?
Note: The U.S. private security firm is also the subject of federal probes regarding illegal weapons transfers and tax evasion.
Yes, dummy Snipesis a highly paid actor therefore all the more reason he bleongs in prison? Man are you ever fuct. And in a bad way.
Canadas Immigration Minister Diane Finley was scheduled to speak at a meeting for tobacco farmers in Delhi, Ontario testerday.
Instead, the meeting was canceled due to security concerns.
The RCMP have tightened security around Ms. Finley in recent weeks as a result of threats from organized criminal groups related to a new law bill being tabled that would limit the number of work visas given to foreign strippers and make the process a tad more stringent.
Very unscandalous.

don't askRE: Sean Bell
http://www.justiceforsean.net/
First of all these police officers were undercover and not in uniform.
They were also using a unmarked po-lice car.
For years I have often said to people in conversation that the number one reason why applicants to NYPD are not isssued badges and guns and DO NOT PASS Basic Traning is because they shoot deaf people during mock-up exercises in which a potentially harmless person is shot while reaching for his back pocket for his wallet to retrieve a card to show he is deaf.
It is not a story I will rely on anymore with any degree of reserved pride. Perhaps I can say : it used to be that.... .
The reason this is important has little to with race.
No. 1 thing is the suspect was un-armed in the first place. The testimony of : " I thought I heard him say he or somebody said they might have a gun" should not have even be allowed as testimonial evidence if its not enough reason to open fire. You cant just open fire and shoot someone because you are scared. In order to feel that threat of danger you have to be perceive a real threat, not rely on your imagination to embellish a scenario.
As for the officer who fired so many shots and re-loaded a second time without striking the target said
it seemed "like a second or two" before he was out of bullets - and staring into the car at Joseph Guzman, a friend of the groom. "I looked at my gun. I didn't know it had any bullets or something was wrong,"
..is this the same individual who "thought" he heard somebody say something about a gun?
If I were a lawyer for the prosecutor I would be peppering him with the question: WHERE WAS THE THREAT? IN your mind and get him to break down on the stand to admit the threat was in his head and not in reality.

I can understand if cops on the beat working undercover might get a little confused with the players here. We are talking about some young people enjoying a night out on the town in advance of a grooms more formal wedding celebrations. Things might get a little dicey in a room where all undercover police have jaundiced eyes towards revelers.
They were supposedly simeultaneously on the look out for and searching for a man with a baseball cap on it marked BOSTON RED SOX whom the believed was loaded with a gun.
Did they ever find this guy? Was Mr Bell wearing such a cap?
In my opinion, the Court failed the people the system was designed to protect, just as the police failed in their duty to protect the public and now they are walking away from the scene of a crime scott-free.

I had a genuine NYPD logo t-shirt before, will I wear it now?
Not on your life. This is the new image of the NYPD.
And just where the hell is-,.. William S. Bratton when you need him?
d'ohEarlier this blog entry was about the potential closing of Berlins airlift airport , but then I discovered this...
FROM A NEWS REPORT...
Stretching for more than 600 yards along the north and west sides of the airfield in central Berlin, the Tempelhof airport building is second only to the Pentagon in size.
Link to a story about an effort to bring about a Berlin written declaration that would stop the Tempelhof airport from closing.
200,000 Berliners have said YES and 400,000 more are needed to participate to force the vote, now set to be held on April 27.
After which, the officials would be obliged to "re-consider".

Born in 1972, Dr. Schmitz studied History of Art, Philosophy, and Linguistics in Aachen and Berlin.
He wrote a book (a monograph) about the airport in the German language.
"Tempelhof airport is extremely important to the history of Berlin,"
"It is one of the few airports in the world that is really deeply intertwined with the history of the city it serves. I think the city will really miss Tempelhof airport when it is gone."
In a recent editorial, the influential German daily Die Welt put it this way: "Without Tempelhof, the Cold War would have ended much differently."

crushed out"The corruption trial of a top political fundraiser has been so full of twists it might have been dreamed up by a Hollywood producer."
The real life setting though is Chicago and today the Oscar-winning producer of "Million Dollar Baby," Thomas B. Rosenberg, testified on about a supposed scheme to squeeze him for a $2 million kickback.
Already the court has been the trading ground for stories of "marathon drug sessions, payoffs, swindles, attempted extortion and even an alleged effort by political big shots to get a federal prosecutor fired."
Hmmhh didnt we hear about this before? Some mess to with the American Attorney General resignng and all that muck?
So are you thinking Karl Rove? You'd be right!

smellyIn Roger Eberts Great films review of this movie he
wrote
"???????? is the movie that eluded audiences; it grossed less than $3 mllion, has been almost forgotten, and remains one of the purest and most uncompromising of modern films noir. It captures above all the lonely, exhausted lives of its characters."
While writer David M. Meyers praised the script:
"The screenplay, which hews closely to ?????? heartless novel, is unusually tight, spare, and well constructed.
Question: What is the name of the movie and what is the name of the author of the book the film is based on?
Clue?
My stories are about grifters, losers, and psychopaths - some at the fringe of society, some at its heart - their nihilistic world-view being best-served by first-person narratives revealing a frighteningly deep understanding of the warped mind. There are no good guys in my literature, most everyone is abusive, opportunistic, or simply biding time until able to be so ...
Who am I?
Answer located here.
The film which RE praised so highly is here and includes trailer.
