A convicted sex offender given a 90 day pass from governor Haley fucking Barbour is expected to be back behind bars this weekend after the Louisiana Attorney General questions why he was out in the first place.
"It was an incident where a girl was taken out in the woods, tied up and it just so happen a hunter got there before something worse happen," said Mississippi Attorney General, Jim Hood.
...
Earlier this year, Barbour commuted the sentence of a convicted murderer working as a trusty at the Governor's mansion. Barbour was heckled at the Neshoba County Fair for releasing Michael David Graham, who killed his wife Adrienne Klasky in broad daylight 19 year ago.
But, Bowlin's return to his parents' home in Sicily Island, Louisiana was a shock to Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell. Caldwell's even threatening a lawsuit against the state of Mississippi.
Please, Lord, stink up Barbour's national ticket ambitions - like Huckabee, a friend to violence against women.

There's a video on YouTube of the all-star Springsteen tribute show from earlier this year, I think.

at the bruce clip they're all saying eddie doesn't hold up, the boss is the boss. bruce does sound better, it's his song.
You're Under Arrest is a 1985 album recorded by Miles Davis that saw Miles mix pop tunes with political statements about racism, pollution and war. Among other tracks, the album featured Davis' interpretations of two contemporary pop songs: Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" and Michael Jackson's "Human Nature".
During the recording sessions, Darryl Jones introduced Sting to his longtime idol Miles Davis. Sting was bewildered when Davis asked him if he could speak French, and since he did, to translate the Miranda warning into French and yell it into the microphone against a backing track.

It is good you watch little. I don't watch very much but I do watch some (Wings lost to Southern Beale's team tonight, for example)
But if you do, you will never see any male character that would be seen hanging around these parts.
The men are myopical focused entirely on vanity and stupidity. There are no men portrayed that could read a book, let alone write one.
Beer suckers. Football watching. Couch potatoes (Except when they drive their riding mowers and take their big trucks some place)

Tough town:
A South Philadelphia man enraged because a father and son were talking during a Christmas showing of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button took care of the situation when he pulled a .380-caliber gun and shot the father, police said.
James Joseph Cialella Jr., 29, of the 1900 block of Hollywood Street is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, and weapons violations.
"It's truly frightening when you see something like this evolve into such violence," said police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore.
Police were called to the Riverview Theatre in the 1400 block of Columbus Boulevard about 9:30 p.m. where the gunshot victim, a Philadelphia man who was not identified, told police a man sitting near him told his family to be quiet and threw popcorn at his son.
After exchanging words, Vanore said Cialella allegedly got out of his seat to confront the family when the father got up to protect them. That's when the victim was shot once in the left arm, sending others in the theatre running to safety.
Cialella then sat down to watch the movie. Police arrived a short time later and arrested Cialella and confiscated his weapon, Vanore said.

It's all about marketing and about the lowest common denomination. The women portrayed are no better. I have never been able to understand the business model they use, because one would think that different stations would aim their broadcasting to different groups of consumers so that there would be something for those who want different messages.
Instead, they all chase after the same young-male-demographic.

I expect she'll be on the phone with me at the time. I can't wait!
Great historical events turn on the smallest of axles.
Barack Obama will repeat a few words, words that have been spoken about 50 times in our nation's history, and those few words will mark a historic event unprecedented in US history!
For the first time ever, the United States will have a President who was born in Hawaii!

Just classic American plains Indian features. Hair as black as a raven's wing. Ruddy complexion. Obviously a bloodline untainted by the white man.
Just stunningly handsome. He was maybe 30 years old or so.

uh, dude.. I have classic Plains Nations features. I also have no native American ancestry at all.

I know JR.
but at the risk of making everything political, it's so hard to turn your back on your past, your community, the place you grew up. But our system makes us. A city dies, so it forces you to move to somehwere you dont' want to be. What's so wrong with holding on to your roots? I don't want to sound like someone who can't change with the times, but i understand the value of home and tradtion and continuity. I think of how Vietnamese live on the same plot of land generation after generation. there is something so inherently inhuman about our western sytem.
sorry, didn't mean to go on like that...

My aunt and uncle live in the family farmhouse which was rebuilt in the early 1700s. But then we are rather inbred.

We live in the times and places where we find ourselves. Only a rare few of us can change that. The rest of us suffer under the forces around us. We endure or suffer in some mixture of the two.

i understand that. being rootless in a place means that you lack a connections to it.. but.
It ishuman to move, to find fresh places, and create roots. If not, we would still all be in Africa.
you are comfortable, maybe even happy, where you are. That's fine and good. However, it comes with a price, just as moving to new pastures does.
the question you ask yourself is which price are you most willing to pay.
Life is not easy, dammit.

Well then you've destroyed the myth that the inbred are stupid.
there are families like that here to. but less and less. so many empty homes now as the steelworkers who populated this place have long since moved away or died. their children come to visit during the holidays only to witness the dying city that nurtured them. now they have cushy jobs in big cities, and long for their childhoods.
what's it all mean?

Echidne. I'll let you know. I'm going to push it to her and to their bosses bosses and (just because I'm mostly trying to show the advertisers what creeps they are) I'm also going to send it to the company that advertises on the station that offers jobs in the Bay area. You also noticed they butchered a New York Life ad inbetween the rude comments.
I hope that the VP of marketing for both those advertisers are women.

It was re-released maybe ten years ago in 70mm. That was pretty fucking awesome.

Totally. We saw at Cinema 21 back in May. I never had seen the Bedu that Tafas had pointed out--never show up on the small screen. It was a dirty print, but still magnificent.

The other one got to go to the movie on Christmas day too, the bras and underwear had peace signs on them so I couldn't say no, could I?
Interestingly, it was very sad, or maybe not, that the mall was not very crowded with donkey dicks or people.

Spocko, I just listened to that Bay area radio clip you posted. It was offensive, to women, to any men who care about women, but...
I can't see how it's any more offensive to clips that could be captured almost any day or night.
I hear broadcasts like that in this town also.
Anything you can do to improve the broadcast decency would be appreciated.

As I sit and wonder why I didn't use a period instead of that comma, I am reminded that today, between two heavy duty conversations, my 16YO walked up to me and said, "My period is late, and that's annoying.

14YO: Mom, how old do we have to be before we can buy thongs?
doug. The thing is that I also have worse and people can even shrug those off. I have some of them attacking insulting auto dealers and calling bankers whores. I want to make sure that the advertisers hear what they call them when they are advertising and then also what they are talking about when they are insulting their own advertisers. And I want to make it clear that there this is not a safe place to advertise. One second they will be talking about killing someone the next showing their anti-Muslim bias then their sexism.
And people can say, so what they are just words. Well the advertisers don't have to pay to associate with that. They need multiple reasons to walk away from then and I want to provide them because you never know what will be the thing that will push their buttons. Maybe you are a female vp of marketing and you are sick of having to pay to reach Rush's audience. I just gave you an excuse not to advertise.

Shoppers swamped stores across the Bay Area on Friday to take advantage of big discounts, keeping a post-Christmas tradition alive despite a bleak economy.
But the crowds, voracious as they may have been for boots, sweaters and leftover ornaments, couldn't change the grim reality for retailers this holiday season: It will probably go down as one of the worst in decades.

I remember wearing a speedo during my days at Star Fleet. I was heading to the Academy pool when a guy friend (who wore boxer type swim trunks) said to me,"What are you trying to do, smuggle grapes into the pool?"
That was the last time I ever wore speedos.

Back in my son's swim team days I noticed that the teenage swimmers would change into or cover themselves with pants and shirts right after swimming the event they'd been in.
All of them could have worn speedos with pride, but did not want to, though those suite were needed for cutting off a second or two on a long event.
My observation: those willing to wear speedos should not.
Those who could without offending due to displayed flab, and wrinkles, won't.
