cheers

My thought was to post something interesting from world news, or just some news. There is a woman here living in a church on Division street, because the US told her to go back to Mexico. Quote from that story: "I hope they fear God enough." The Mormon CEO died. The web force Anonymous has started the attack on Christian Science (joining up with Germany), vowing to destroy the "cults" net presence. ESPN's Dana has been suspended for yelling, "Fuck Notre Dame," and quite possibly "Fuck Jesus" from a mic during a roast. OMFG!

Also, a bad man was buried in Indonesia, yet people miss him, like some did Stalin and others did Pinochet. Before he died they said he was too old to stand trial. Russia has denied visas for election observers (again), and the same government has found a way to invalidate the opposition candidate's petition; turning the affair more into a coronation.

The Argentines have been using diplomatic credentials to ship cars back and then selling them to footballers. So sad. So petty. I can see them scanning Craigslist. If they were quicker they could have got my 98 Escort. Instead they've been happy enough with Lamborghini's.

The trader that sunk French banking was released today, apparently he was in it for the rush and prestige--which isn't as illegal as greed. Also in France, aid workers got eight years for smuggling orphans from Africa who turned out not to be orphans.

And Kenya is coming undone after the election dispute, the break down of law. An interesting quote from all that: "the government will have to show it is not involved." Tribal vendettas are being settled or stirred more likely.

The new Bond film got a name. With a release date of early November 08, the countdown clock cheerfully plods on. Meanwhile, Notre Monster spoke tonight to say he still has veto powers. Maybe with his pardoning powers he can forgive Kwame his 14,000 lovey dovey txt msgs. 14,000! tsk, tsk.
