For clarity, I was hoping a trend would start to help weed out the roads.


Every day one of these guys spends clogging up the time of the judicial system, and law enforcement in general means less time available for them to look at ME.

I totally agree that the further he pushes it the further he'll get fucked, but by that point he might just take a few lemmings with him. The judicial ruling I I imagine to be something along the line of "breaking the intention of the application of the law"?

And let's not forget, it's still tough times economically. Got to keep the prison full to bursting.

Tunisian blog accuses Ennahda of running own intelligence apparatus

In recent leaks by Tunisian award-winning collective blog Nawaat, journalists Malek Khadhraoui, Ramzi Bettaieb, and Houssem Hajlaoui released an investigation on January 8, exposing an alleged weapon deal in which they accused the ruling Ennahdha party of having a shadow intelligence apparatus of its own.

On December 26 and 27, Nawaat posted videos that reveal a conversation over a weapons deal and a plan to kidnap and assassinate important national figures, including politicians, judges, and media figures. The video involved Tunisian businessman Fathi Damak and two other men.

Both Fathi Damak and his son Sadok were arrested by police for interrogation during the last week of December. However, on December 31, Sadok was released while his father remains under arrest. "This triggered our following investigation... How come the two men in the video were not arrested or even interrogated?" said Nawaat journalist Emine M'tiraoui to Tunisia Live.

According to M'tiraoui and to the Nawaat article, Nawaat was asked to stop digging further into the story. The two men present in the video also claimed that they have been following the affair and trying to discover more details in coordination with the Ministry of the Interior.

Suspicions over the work of the two men, reportedly named Ali and Belhassan, led Nawaat journalists to investigate their identities and backgrounds. "It turned out that Belhassan is a member of the League for the Protection of the Revolution and a member of the Ennahdha regional bureau of Ben Arous... Ali is also a member of Ennahdha party," stated M'tiraoui.

Tom Cruise crazy documented in new book. Inability to meet women highlighted. Wife auditions took place thinking they were film auditions.

Usual scientology insanity.

...but the Scientology Church's beliefs when it comes to psychology and psychiatry — namely, that both are nefarious practices meant to control the individual through drugs and brainwashing

The needle on my irony meter went right around the clock, so many times and so quickly that it took off, like a little helicopter, straight into the sun and now I don't have an irony meter anymore and I blame scientology

I guess it's not just the bridges anymore.

The screams were coming from a tight space between the apartment building and a cinder block parking garage adjacent to the complex, said Lt. Damon Simmons, spokesman for Portland Fire and Rescue.

"Somehow, she was on top of this 20-foot-high wall and fell down between the walls," he said. "The space that was in between them, at the widest, was probably eight inches and it got narrower from there. She was wedged in. She fell down about 10 or 12 feet."

When I was a kid you could buy horsemeat at the butcher store. I'm still not sure why it's such a horrifying thing.

Me neither. When I was in France I ate a bunch of horse. Tasted great. When you look at a horse next to a cow, they're practically the same thing, just one has bigger tits. I think there's a lot of cognitive dissonance going on with food v's pet animals.

"Ooooh those asians are the evil cos they eat dogs!"

"Rabbits are cute fluffy pets. Rabbit pie tastes lovely."

Arbitrary attachments, varying by culture, to things made of meat. Go figure

I do understand the social contract involved in not eating companion or working animals. And, if we were working closely alongside horses and EATING them, they would probably be able to smell it and that would create problems. But we don't work closely alongside them anymore, and they are companion animals for very few of us. It's a purely sentimental attachment.
