Kolkata, India: A 24-day old giraffe calf and its father at the Alipore zoo [Bikas Das/AP]
well… actually, there is something to add, I see the two at Rutgers have been named…
Molly Wei and Dharun Ravi
Locals, they had gone to HS together in NJ…
The accused were classmates at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North in Plainsboro, N.J.
If convicted of the third degree offense of transmitting or distributing the images they could face up to five years in prison each under state law. A fourth degree conviction for collecting the images could mean up to 18 months in jail, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office.
hmm considering they planned this, did it TWICE:
Ravi allegedly broadcast that encounter but investigators would not say what video site it was posted to.
A few days later Ravi allegedly tweeted to his 150 followers telling them to “chat” him on iChat, an instant messaging sight with live video feed, the Star-Ledger reported.
“Anyone with iChat, I dare you to video chat me between the hours of 9:30 and 12. Yes it’s happening again,” Ravi wrote Sept. 21.
… is there no FIRST DEGREE of something to charge them with?

OK! Eddie Fisher died… and now Tony Curtis…
So……… who will be number 3?
(volunteers step right up!, LOL )
WaPo:
Good riddance.
hmm Peru and Colombia close their borders, and at least one report says Correa has fled. FT got their rocks off refering to him as the “left wing” leader, in their first line……………
Google News Page
well… I guess she’ll always have Spain….
At he end of the article it intimates Nancy will find it uncomfortable to tell Michelle why she was not able to shepherd this thru the House. Oh I don’t think so… I think Nancy will be fine with that call.
Read more: Politico
Well I am sure Michelle can buck up and get over it.
good for Nancy …
I just got back…what did I miss?
Short version: Things Are Worse… Or, alternatively, Better!
Is this like one of those loops where it gets so bad that it’s good again?
I think so……….. or it just gets continually incrementally bad… as people forget ”before”…
Happy Rahm Get-the-Fuck-Out Day, everybody!
All we need now is another costumed* mascot and Hallmark to get involved in a celebratory orgy of materialism, and this fucker could be remembered for millennia to come…
*Or not on the costumed mascot,
as “Naked Shower Guy” might take hold as the tradition develops…Course it could be creepy with the mall “NSG”, sitting on his lap and all..Or Church.
Speaking of Hallmark, Screamimg Banshee says thank you, Rahm, for getting the fuck out of Dodge.
He’s like some child that screams so much for extra cake at a party that children hand over their dessert plates of cake.
I just read he and Obby will both speak at the Great Good Bye today, but Rouse will not.
If only he would go (take Ob with him!).
A lot of “code” words floating about on Rouse. Lives alone, “unmarried”, with his two cats – helpful adds, that ”his friends” say he is a Big Cat Person. Luvs music, he got the extant members of the Grateful Dead to campaing for wObbly in 2008. (Thanks guys!)
Gah. Are they struggling to say he is gay? A gay who apparently liked the Dead? (I guess that could be… )
Anything to make it end. Anything.
I call that Freudian. Or a Good Israeli-American. Let’s get it to where as few are free as possible.
“Spirit of service”… oh you gotta love that treacly shit.
From People Mag’s “44″
Lulz!
WTF?
I think Rahm spoke from his heart. LOL…. probably composed of left over DoD armaments. Flag of Israel stamped on it. Whatever was the call sign for Irgun. And some finishing touches of pink tutu fluff.
And so on.
Shades of Rod Serling …glad I checked back, hon.
I love whatever the, all of a sudden, muscles in my face do when I truly smile, unexpectedly, …brightened me up all over ….momentarily at least.
and that is, for sure, better than nothing at all….
only my family …and those others I really love, (sometimes quite unexpectedly) …keep me from the Caltrain tracks ….like so many youth who’ve recently stepped onto them ….never to return to earth tangibly …ever again.
The Caltrain teen suicides are truly disturbing.
Supposedly there have been 5 gay teen college (think all were college) suicides so far this year.
He wrote that article all by himself!
LOL Dual education!
That was… different. :p
WaPo – note how this is written:
Rick Sanchez: Jon Stewart A ‘Bigot,’ Jews Run CNN & All Media
And…buh bye.
I think it was too many too close together.
And Jon Stewart has been lifted to the inner pantheon… first his team, or Com Central team, writing jokes (terrible ones) for Obby, the night of the “drone” joke… and then Obby gave his DC gathering a send up.
Conservative radio is buzzing with the Arianna offer to bus people to it, apparently with NEA money (I have not looked around as to the veracity of that).
He used “cotton picking” a couple fo weeks ago, in close conjunction to Obby.
so ya know. Syonara…
so ya know. Syonara…
OR
Sy say no- on- aira LOL.
A Shame. One of the greatest “features” journolists America has ever seen. Who will forget his “How to Escape from a sinking car” piece? Evidently, Sanchez himself. LOL.
Well I suppose now we’ll never get to see that Sanchez piece in development entitled,
“How Latinos Can Survive cop-swarm traffic stops by yelling: ‘ All you fuckin pigs with loaded guns – I fuck your ..! “ ETC.
S m a a a r t.
Ah well, Ricardo.
Remember the salmon on the way up?
I’ve just been reading some of his extended comments… geesh. Bitter whiney guy.
Says he never made it to the top (which is what? anyway?) because of racism. He was not seen as a top tier anchor.
He always seemed third rate to me, and I always thought he was there to pat down, pander to, the Cuban community.
So ya know, it cuts both ways.
Lordy.. I went looking for a print report on a big pot seizure here, they seized what they claim is 300 million street value, literally from the middle of a corn field. Yesterday they showed, via helicopter, a square cut out right in the middle of the corn, empty now, and them hauling the green growth away.
But when I went looking, there have been seizures from corn fields all over the country, just in the past 10 days.
Reminds me of an old Bloom County punchline:
Senator Bedfellow: ah, a corn farmer, the salt of the earth.
Farmer: T’aint corn. It’s dope.
Bedfellow: Wha…
Farmer: Take some home for the wife!

It’s a gathering of liars, I will give it that.
Gary Bauer? WTF?
Can’t tell if that’s a promotion or a demotion for Gibbsy.
Again and again, Obama just luvs Gibbs — AND Kaine.
Both btw, are lipless.

Overviews from Boston.com Big Pictures.
Dense suburban communities, SW Florida.
The saving grace (such as it is) is that several are clearly halted or abandoned developement.
Some are overgrown.
One is a an airport, planned in 1968 as the Biggest Airport in the World (then!), 6 runways….for the coming Supersonic Age. LOL That never came.
Faux News has an interesting (w00t-worthy) collection of vintage, blast from the past ads.
Oh I forgot.
It’s Big Liberal Day in DC.

Hunter S. Thompson’s brutally honest Canadian job request – Gonzo journalist applied to Vancouver Sun in 1958
Good thing he didn’t get the job. The Sun is a right-wing rag. He never would have lasted there anyway.

More “moderate” now and endorsed by Lula. It’ll be interesting if she wins. (And right-wing heads will no doubt explode on several continents.)

I have not been to Facebook in…….. a year? maybe… and never used it. Maybe if you have an active group, use it for connecting…
but…….
I don’t use it. Too many privacy problems.
I didn’t use my real name when I registered… which was to follow a link and read something…
I keep track of old work and school friends … I’ve given up on the idea of privacy.
I can see your boxers!
