INTERNAL VOICE

I am no G-string fascist (and considering the image my mind conjures up of a "G-string fascist" is that of Michelle "Bombshell" McGee – Jesse James's former mistress, whose hobbies included sporting Nazi paraphernalia and posing for allegedly erotic photos, often at the same time – I'm now 200% sure I'm not one.) I don't understand how on earth anal dental floss became the de rigeur sexy outfit

Gaddafi loyalists launch attacks against civilians as conflict in Libya escalates: "Libyan warplanes and helicopters fired from the air and loyalist militias fatally shot protesters in the streets as the government of Moammar Gaddafi fought back viciously Monday against demonstrations that appear to be fast eroding the autocrat's four-decade-long hold on power."

Reported use of heavy weapons may be war crime - The Irish Times - Mon, Feb 21, 2011

War Crime BluesReported use of heavy weapons may be war crime - The Irish Times - Mon, Feb 21, 2011: "EYEWITNESS REPORTS from Benghazi in eastern Libya state that pro-Gadafy forces are using anti-aircraft weapons and heavy machine guns against civilian protesters.

Doctors treating those injured in the attacks speak of catastrophic soft tissue injuries to the head, chest and abdomen of those shot by Gadafy’s troops. Significantly, Libyan doctors have been quoted as stating that the majority of the injuries are fatal or untreatable.

Libyan security forces are equipped with assault rifles such as Kalashnikov AK47s with standard 5.56mm and 7.62mm ammunition. Such ammunition, with a range of 600-800m is designed to wound or “drop” an enemy combatant on the battlefield. Multiple hits from a 7.62mm or 5.56mm round are usually required to kill a human target at standard ranges of several hundred metres.

The weapons being used against civilian protesters in Benghazi have included these standard assault rifles – described as “machine guns” in media reports – along with 12.7mm anti-aircraft fire. The use of 12.7mm heavy weapons against civilian protesters may well represent a war crime and would constitute a clear breach of the Geneva Conventions."

The Jamaican Gun Court

Sunday 13 February 2011 0 comments
The Tribune: "JAMAICAN attorneys have expressed disagreement with local assessments of the Jamaican Gun Court.
While the court had its 'teething pains' it is now an 'established and accepted' part of the judiciary, attorneys claim.
Earlier this year, a Magistrate's Court in Nassau was assigned to hear gun related matters, in a similar fashion to Jamaica's Magistrate's Court handling drug crimes.
The move to establish a 'so-called gun court' was heavily criticised by the opposition, which cited the case of Jamaica.
Fred Mitchell, Member of Parliament for Fox Hill, one of the key critics, said: 'This so-called Gun Court is an idea introduced into the region by the late Prime Minister Michael Manley in Jamaica way back when and the idea was thoroughly discredited then and remains discredited. If I am not mistaken the whole thing was set aside as unconstitutional,' said Mr Mitchell.
The Jamaican Gun Court was established by an act of Parliament in 1974. While it was billed as a crime fighting strategy in the early 70s, that objective was never realised and never stuck with the project, said a legal practitioner in Jamaica"

Internet Copyright Infringement Solicitors ACS Law UK and MediaCAT Shut Down − ISPreview UK

Saturday 5 February 2011 0 comments
Internet Copyright Infringement Solicitors ACS Law UK and MediaCAT Shut Down − ISPreview UK: "The controversial UK solicitors firm ACS:Law (Andrew Crossley) and its intermediary MediaCAT, which made their money by 'bullying' customers of broadband ISPs (e.g. PlusNet , Sky Broadband etc.) with dubious settlement demands ('speculative invoicing') for alleged 'illegal' (i.e. unlawful) copyright P2P file sharing activity, have both 'ceased trading' and thus dodged a critical court decision.

The not unexpected move, which according to TorrentFreak officially occurred on 31st January 2011, came ahead of a crucial ruling in the London Patents County Court by Judge Birss QC, which many believed would go against the firm and possibly even place a ban upon further letter writing. The failed attempt to sue 27 individuals, which has backfired spectacularly, would have had serious implications for others pursuing a similar avenue.

ACS:Law was also awaiting a Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) over the threatening letters and wider questions about their general conduct. However none of this had, until now, stopped them from sending the letters."

So a timeshare guy dies and is standing at the pearly gates waiting to enter heaven. In front of him in line is a congressman and a lawyer.
The congressman walks up to St Peter and St Peter says, You lied to people and misled the masses for your entire life. You thought of no one but yourself so unfortunately because of your ways on earth, I have no option but to send you to hell. St peter snaps his fingers and the congressman is sent to hell.
Next up walks the lawyer, You also were dishonest and unfaithful, you hurt the ones who loved you the most so again I have no option but to send you to hell". St Peter again snaps his fingers and poof the lawyer is sent to hell.
The timeshare guy not feeling to good about his odds steps up and says "So where do I go St Peter?"
Well, it looks here like you sold timeshare to people for your entire life, you gave people choices that they didnt have with their vacation dollars so its only fair that you get a choice as well, you can choose to either go to heaven or to hell but first I'm going to show you your options" and St Peter snapped his fingers and instantly they were in hell.
Hell was beautiful, nothing like he expected he saw all his friends from earth and they were having a party, eating steak and drinking wine, laughing, having a good time telling stories about earth and it was the best time he ever had. Then St Peter says Well times up, he snaps his fingers and instantly they are in heaven.
Heaven is gorgeous and everyone is on their knees worshipping god, singing praises and praying for forgiveness over and over. He really feels wanted and content. Times up says St. Peter as he snaps his finger transporting them instantly back to the pearly gates. "So which is it?" St Peter asks.
"Well, I never thought I'd ever say this but I think I'm going to go with hell, I had so much fun there."
"So be it" says St Peter as he snaps his finger sending him to hell.
Now hell is different, it doesnt look the same, theres fire and brimstone everywhere and hes chained to a hot stone, Hes surrounded by heat and blood curdling screams.
"There must be a mistake!" The timeshare guy screams out to the devil, "What is this? This isn't how it looked last time I was here?"
The devil looked up with a smug grin.... "Oh you, you must have been on tour."

Russia's Medvedev unveils Boris Yeltsin statue

BBC News - Russia's Medvedev unveils Boris Yeltsin statue: "For the first time since the Soviet era, a statue has been erected to a Russian political leader. The monument in Yekaterinburg, Boris Yeltsin's home city, is the centrepiece of the celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of his birth.

Until recently, state-owned channels had been emphasising the out-of-control criminality associated with the Yeltsin years, but this week his official reputation appears to have been re-evaluated with the broadcast of stirring TV documentaries.

The extent of the rehabilitation is best illustrated by the appearance of President Dmitry Medvedev himself at the unveiling of the statue. It is an intriguing development given the Russian political tradition of denouncing one's predecessors.

Naina Yeltsina says she is glad that her husband's memory is being treated with more respect.

'Looking back now, it might seem as if all the problems should have been easier to solve,' she told the BBC."

Mexico angered by Top Gear 'xenophobia' - TV & Radio, Media - The Independent: "The Mexican ambassador to Britain has complained to the BBC over 'offensive, xenophobic and humiliating' comments on the motoring programme Top Gear.

Eduardo Medina-Mora wrote to the BBC after the show's presenters Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson and James May compared the characteristics of a Mexican sports car to those of the country's citizens.

Hammond said of the Mastretta under review: 'Mexican cars are just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence asleep looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat.'

They went on to describe Mexican food as 'refried sick'."

Cruiskeen Eile: Surveilling the mad, bad, and hilarious world of Colonel Sir Myers na gCopaleen, Baronet.: "The one-time RTÉ economics editor and now-FG candidate for the By-election in Dublin South has unleashed his grand plan for getting the country out of a depression. Conor McCabe over at Dublin Opinion:



Apparently, housing construction is being held back by big government and its VAT rates, and not by the fundamental crisis in the Irish and international banking systems. not only that, more housing is what we need to get us back on the straight and narrow. And mortgages. fucking lots of them. Happy days again.



As if on cue, we've also now got EU Commissioner Charlie McCreevey begging us not to eat the rich:



'But it is essential that we remain focused on the dynamic and human nature that drives risk-taking, economic activity and tax revenues forward and that we guard against policies and tax-rates that drive risk-taking, economic activity and tax revenues backwards."

UK Online Crime Map Crashes After Getting 18 Million Hits an Hour: "A British website showing block-by-block crime statistics crashed within a few hours of going online today after public interest overwhelmed servers.

The site, police.uk, crashed after receiving as many as 300,000 hits a minute, or 18 million an hour, The Press Association reported.

'Most popular gov website ever?' the British Home Office wrote on Twitter. 'Demand for new #crime maps at around 300k a minute, equivalent to 18m hits an hr. Working hard to make sure everyone can access.'

The site is intended to allow people to gauge levels of crime and police activity in neighborhoods in England and Wales. It breaks down crime into six categories: burglary, robbery, vehicle crime, violence, other crime and anti-social behavior, BBC News said."

Suit: Man Claims Glaxo Drug Made Him a 'Gay Sex Addict' - FoxNews.com: "A 51-year-old married father of two is suing GlaxoSmithKline, saying the pharmaceutical company’s drug he took for Parkinson's disease has turned him into a gambling and gay sex addict, Agence France-Presse reported.

Didier Jambart, of Nantes, France, began taking Requip (ropinirole) in 2003, which is used to treat Parkinson’s disease -- a disorder of the nervous system that affects movement, muscle control and balance.

Jambart’s attorney said his client attempted suicide three times after he lost his family’s savings to Internet gambling and stole money for his habit.

Jambart alleges he also became a “compulsive gay sex addict and began exposing himself on the Internet and cross-dressing.” Jambart’s attorney said these antics led his client to be raped."
