Heck I am having trouble choosing what should be my blog title caption
So far I have chosen as you see now
Freedom of the Press to we which own one (a self explanatory conceptualization of the root power of a blog)
The Best Thing since the Complimentary Breakfast (at a time when I was cool-ly glib and serving up bite sized h'ouerderves)
but now I am thinking maybe something along the lines of
IM EVERYTHING THAT'S WRONG WITH THE INTERNET

specialA trail of cheating, greed, arrogance and the perversion of the justice system meets its end with the bang of a judges gavel in a California courtroom.
That it happened to take place in Hollywood....is besides the case.
...as this story shows.

Shania Twain and Robert (Mutt) Lange - the uber-producer who steered the country star to international success - are splitting up after 14 years of marriage.
"This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time," Twain's Canadian publicist said today..
In others news, a man and woman opened fire on guards at an entrance to an Indian reservation and fled into the hills, where they were killed in a gun battle with sheriff's deputies and a SWAT team
In the spirit of celebration and victory.
2Charlie,RYP and Kurt, coldharvest et al are not celebrating and certainly not 2Charles as yes I have got a real biggie for him.
All those other "participants" in his his little fairy tale BFC merry go round will get their come-uppance some other way.
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

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?
