China tells living Buddhas to obtain permission before they reincarnate
Jane Macartney in BeijingAs Neil Gaiman said, "That trick never works."
Tibet’s living Buddhas have been banned from reincarnation without permission from China’s atheist leaders. The ban is included in new rules intended to assert Beijing’s authority over Tibet’s restive and deeply Buddhist people.

Blogger unmasked, court case upended - The Boston Globe
Via Whatever
By Jonathan Saltzman, Globe Staff | May 31, 2007I really don't need to say anything, here...
It was a Perry Mason moment updated for the Internet age.
As Ivy League-educated pediatrician Robert P. Lindeman sat on the stand in Suffolk Superior Court this month, defending himself in a malpractice suit involving the death of a 12-year-old patient, the opposing counsel startled him with a question.
Was Lindeman Flea?
Flea, jurors in the case didn't know, was the screen name for a blogger who had written often and at length about a trial remarkably similar to the one that was going on in the courtroom that day.
In his blog, Flea had ridiculed the plaintiff's case and the plaintiff's lawyer. He had revealed the defense strategy. He had accused members of the jury of dozing.

I've noticed lots of new traffic because of this post, one in a stream of reponses to the original. Welcome all!
It actually took me a couple of days to find this out: If you can bring yourself to look slightly higher than her cleavage, you'll get the joke. I still can't believe it.
I'm depressed.

Another stereotype, successfully reinforced!! Make Mine Marvel (for got'damn pete's sake...)

Let me get this straight...they've been doing this for two years??
Tennessee Continues to Enforce 'Crack Tax'
All Things Considered, January 15, 2007 · For a second consecutive year, Tennessee has collected more than $1.5 million in revenue from its so-called "crack tax." The state has been enforcing a tax on illegal substances that drug dealers can report without fear of prosecution.
But once arrested, dealers must prove they've paid the tax or face fines or property seizure. A local judge has called it unconstitutional but the state is appealing saying it will help deter crime and boost tax coffers.

This week, I find myself rearranging and reorganizing for the New Year. Usually, I have someone nagging at me to do this, but I find that the habit finally took. Over the past few days, I've been slowly going through and clearing out all the things cluttering up my psychic RAM. Here's one of them.
During last Turkey Day's trip to Clevesburg, we stopped at a brand new, redesigned Dunkin Donuts. I'd love to show you just how it's different, but alas...
This is one of those things you kind of understand, but still question at a deep level. Trade secrets are one thing, but exactly what do they have to hide? See, now the paranoia about potential hidden weapons of mass destruction starts to become just a touch more relatable.

All of my electronics have now moved into the 21st century. I can backup my laptop five times over. And I can plug a total of 8 USB devices into it, including my video/mp3/FM radio player.
I don't know how I ever got by with that 128MB piece of crap player I had. This thing has been my saving grace in a crowded space with the family during Turkey Day, on bus rides with stressed out students from the Big Red School on the Hill, not to mention zoo-like grocery stores.

Nonfiction audiobooks...I'm now addicted.

There's a nearby group, apparently (I may have mentioned this before) who apparently work out at a local facility with sticks and wearing sarongs. My co-worker who works out there approached them and told them about someone who might be interested (namely me). They tried, it seemed, to put him off first, probably thinking I was someone from "Kim's Ninja School" at the mall or something. They lightened up a bit when he told them I was someone who had a bit of experience with what they were doing. Anyway, they were supposed to give my co-worker information to give me, but on the night they were going to do that, they blew him off.
Eh, screw it. I work with someone who knows this guy and who offered to put in a word for me. He's in Cortland, but that's not too, too far away.

This next week, I'm told, will absolutely suck at work. That's okay, though. Like I always say, that's why they call it work.

They all laughed at me after Timothy Treadwell and they thought what happened to Steve Irwin was a mere accident. But I've said it before and I'll say it again--the animals are rising up!

I don’t know about Michael Richard’s actions, aside from doing something that has probably damaged his life and career. He may be an actual raving racist…but in my experience, most real racists are more careful with their speech. They believe they are walking in enemy territory, where the Jews run the media, using Blacks as footsoldiers. They don’t openly rant like that. Of course, maybe he’s just a STUPID racist. My mind is open to possibilities.6

Orca returns to S.D. tank after attackOr, maybe it's letting us know just how close the revolution is.
By ALLISON HOFFMAN, Associated Press Writer Thu Nov 30, 6:36 PM ET
SAN DIEGO - Some days, killer whales just wake up on the wrong side of the pool. A 2 1/2-ton orca that dragged a trainer underwater during a show at SeaWorld may have been put out by a spat with another whale, grumpy because of the weather or just irritable from a stomach ache, according to marine mammal experts.

If I wasn't on a watchlist before for openly mocking what passes for Homeland Security in the State of Ohio and spreading it around, then I must be now, after this.
Doesn't it just want to make you bang your own head on the table?

I sent a link to the blank version of this to Mr. Ellis earlier this evening.
He put it up about 10 minutes later. I hate to malign my home state, but idiocy is idiocy.

There are moments when I miss Ohio. And, there are moments when I'm truly, truly ashamed.
Apparently, this is a form from the Ohio Dept. of Public Safety's Division of Homeland Security that one fills out nowadays when anyone applys for any sort of public service job. Steve-o got one, and was understandably incensed. Note his response.
I fully understand the "why." But, are they serious??
"Hey, maybe--just maybe--the terr'rists will slip up and turn themselves in!"
Idiots.
Yes, this is real--here it is.

From Discovery Channel News...
That isn't to say that one level is necessarily better than another--each has its own pros and cons. But, I've seen the difference.
I also know that there was a time where I would've loved to have stayed in grad school for the rest of my life...
Serious Study: Immaturity Levels RisingI read this and thought, "Yeah right." But then in my mind I went through a list of folks between the ages of 21 to 25 that I know or know of. I actually see a marked difference between those young adults who have left school (or maybe never finished) and got a job, especially a job people might call "demeaning" nowadays and those who've continued on with school ad nauseum or who still have one foot in some sort of psychological safety net (grad school, internships, and the like).
Jennifer Viegas, Discovery News
June 23, 2006 —The adage "like a kid at heart" may be truer than we think, since new research is showing that grown-ups are more immature than ever.
Specifically, it seems a growing number of people are retaining the behaviors and attitudes associated with youth.
As a consequence, many older people simply never achieve mental adulthood, according to a leading expert on evolutionary psychiatry.
Among scientists, the phenomenon is called psychological neoteny.

You've probably all seen the original ad. For pete's sake, the King is creepy anough without the nightmarish thought that you could wake up and find him in bed next to you. I enjoy their breakfast sandwiches, but I wouldn't want to have him touching my knee to get one.
But have you seen the BK doing a pole dance?

I'm sure Eddie "The Twister" Bravo (one of those few who've managed to get a Gracie to tap out) is proud to see his student, Fear Factor's Joe Rogan, following in his footsteps.
(To be fair, the dude apparently called Rogan out on MySpace, so I really don't have any sympathy for him.)
