Apparently, violent and vocal attacks on online discussion forums abound. Islamics are warning each other to “be careful.” I’d have to agree with that, there are some crazies out there.

Hunting bin laden (mefi). Who is he and what does he want. Is this the direction we should aim our attentions? Also, another expose’ from the bbc.

The Great Cyberwar of 2002. Warning, this isn’t real, it’s a scenario.

N.J. nursing home won’t be bringing in prostitues and screeing pr0n. Most of the residents agreed with the decision except Leonard Smith 75. “It sounds good to me,” he said. “But I’m lucky. I don’t need anything like that.”

Teen dies after sticking head out of car and hitting it on a pole. Too bad there’s no pictures.

Secret Net chess player may be Bobby Fischer “I am 99 percent sure that I have been playing against the chess legend. It’s tremendously exciting,” Short said. He said he has overwhelming evidence that the man who beat him comfortably is the same man who defeated Boris Spassky, the Russian world champion, in an epic battle of the “superpowers” in Reykjavik, Iceland, in 1972.

Afterward, Fischer disappeared from the public eye until 1992, when he briefly returned to play Spassky again for a 20th anniversary rematch in the then-pariah state of Serbia. Fischer won, then disappeared again, hotly pursued by the U.S. government, which had indicted him for breaking the United Nations embargo of Serbia.

I’ve been sitting here most of the weekend with my friend Tom. Tom is a writer that has heavy literary ties. He will bring paxtonland into the literary circle of legitimacy. No, not really… notice the text on the right “intervention.” That’s my latest collaborative, super-secret, internet publication. More soon as I am permitted to disclose

Police Review AOL Records to Identify Poster of JonBenet Message

Fart for fart’s sake, the judge declares Austrailian man acquitted of intentional flatulence… Evidently, the villian poked his rear at a policeman and another man and “farted in their general direction.” The judge tossed out the case as a waste of time saying, “I don’t think that one can turn that particular piece of human behavior on at will.” Well, evidently the Aussia Magistrate has never heard of “Mr. Methane, world famous flatulist, who can fart out “Smoke on the Water” better than Ritchie Blackmoore can play it.

Dancing Bush. Sent in by Dan… very cute.

New clue might mean charges in Hoffa death DNA evidence links Charles O’Brien to Hoffa, connects him with the car, and charges may result. Many don’t realize this, but O’Brien actually lived with the Hoffa family as a foster child.

Detroit man charged with “cyber-spying” on wife. Sorry, this is wrong. If you can’t detect and remove a known, over the counter spyware application then too bad for you. But, we must stop male-predatory behavior at all costs. From what I’ve heard, she’s cheating… kicked him out and he’s gathering dirt for the divorce. “He faces four felony counts related to computer eavesdropping. He faces up to five years in prison and fines up to $19,000.”

Looks like Jennifer Granholm is getting her name in the news again. She’s also nabbed two teenagers today for similar “crimes.” “Schools need to make sure they’ve got somebody who really professionally knows security so that their levels of access are not down,” said Attorney General Jennifer Granholm. The older of the two (18) is facing 5 years. Like they are going to pay that kind of money for people, please

Anyway, this broad is getting her name spread all over the four corners. This state attorney general, govenatorial candidate, and socialist internet nazi cop… The same one that sued doubleclick.com, kicked the viagra sellers out of Michigan, and a lot more. I’ll expound oh her later… I have a LOT to say about this opportunist technophobic baby boomer politico. Why in gods name did we ever start letting lawyers run the political machines in our country? Why?

Domain squatters take over Flint Police web site. Apparently, someone registered the domain, as the city forgot to… they loaded it up with lots of pr0n and stuff… The chief says he won’t pay the “squatters” off to get it back. Look idiot, this isn’t a hostage situation… there isn’t any negeotiations to be done, you fucked up. Don’t pay your bills, you don’t get the services… Anyway, it’s too late to see any of the good stuff, they’ve got it back up now, or at least a pointer is working… http://www.ci.flint.mi.us/

Celeb Cajun Chef Justin Wilson Dies. Myself and someone were recently discussing Justin Wilson. We were wondering why we’d not seen much of him or his television show. We both thought he was dead already. Too bad… he was a great showman, cook, and comedian.

Zero tolerance isn’t working? The hell you say…

“Illegal drugs are infesting many of America’s schools where a zero tolerance policy has done little to curb youth drug use, a report released Wednesday found.” No kidding? Imagine, Hitlers zero tolerance campaign wasn’t very successful in the long run either… oh it was gangbusters at first.

” ‘Drugs and alcohol have infested our schools and threaten our children and their ability to learn and develop their talents,’ Joseph Califano, CASA president, told a news conference to release the report.” Wow, what insight, what intellect, what graceful wisdom… he must of went to the Geedubbya school of the obvious. How does a poor yankee get in? Can anyone tell me?

“PARENTS NEED TO BE MORE INVOLVED

Califano said parents “raised hell” and refused to send their children to school when classrooms were infested with asbestos, but did not have the same response when schools were filled with illegal drugs. “When parents feel as strongly about drugs in our schools as they do about asbestos, we will have drug-free schools,” he said.”

Asbestos? Asbestos!?! ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ASBESTOS NOW!!!

“The report said substance abuse was higher in rural than in urban schools…” Cow tipping, beer bongs, and rollin’ in the hay. What else is there to do in Devils Asshole, Idaho? “Also, as students aged they were less likely to report another student who was using or selling drugs at school.” Since when is it a character flaw to mind your own business… especially when it comes to creeps selling crack. You think a highschooler is going to narc? My god, you’d be in the “ass kicked everyday” “no nookie for life” club for the remainder of your days and on into the 15 year reunion.

Why are boomers so nuts on this crap? Didn’t they have enough of this drugs nonsense in the 60’s. They fucked it up so badly then that no one will ever regard marijuana with any sense for decades…. not only that. But, when they are in their nursing homes in another 15-20 years and sneaking off in the middle of “saturday night fever night” at the Peaceful Hills Retirement Community… to the burn a fattie in the janitors closet… I hope that there is someone ther to enforce the nursing homes zero-tolerance initiatives.

Merhan Karimi Nasseri, a man without country, trapped by his lack of papers in Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris, France, since 26 August 1988… He’s been there ever since. Unbelieveably, the poor bastard, caught in a web of red tape, has been living in the terminal for the last 13 years. “His life follows the quotidian airport cycle. He wakes at 5:30 in order to shave in the men’s room before passengers arrive. He reads all day long. At night, he waits until the airport stores are locked before he brushes his teeth with the toothbrush and toothpaste from a complimentary airline travel kit. Weekly, he rinses out his clothes overnight in the bathroom.

Nasseri is renowned throughout the airport for his refusal to ask for help. “We have a colleague who gave him clothes, but he returned them, saying ‘I’m not a beggar,’” said Crystelle L’Hospitalier, a Lufthansa clerk. But he has to eat, and accepts occasional meal vouchers and francs from stewardesses and airport staff.

As the years have slipped by, it has become increasingly clear that Nasseri will never leave Charles de Gaulle. His airport years have made him “crazier by the day,” on the topic of his future, said airport doctor Bargain. When he talks about flying to London, the staff here greet him with understanding smiles.”

I tell you, that’s the most miserable thing I’ve heard all year.
