slay the corpse

* "The FBI has established the clearest link yet between the March 11 Madrid train bombings and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks" yada. http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=6934716

* "Rev. Jesse Jackson blasted the presidential election back into the national headlines Sunday. Jackson said new findings cast serious doubt on the idea that George W. Bush beat John Kerry in Ohio... New findings indicate that Kerry's margins in 37 (of 88) Ohio counties are suspiciously low when compared to those garnered by Judge Ellen Connally, an unsuccessful Democratic Supreme Court candidate. The calculations focus on standardized county-wide ratios between bottom-of-the-ticket tallies won by Judge Connally versus those won by Kerry in heavily Republican, rural counties. According to a wide range of experts, there appears to be a systematic removal of Kerry votes by hackers who overlooked the Connally votes, which now clearly infers something went wrong. "It's simply not credible that a vastly underfunded African-American female candidate at the bottom of the ticket could outpoll John Kerry in Butler County,"" go read http://www.freepress.org/departments/display/19/2004/947

* can someone splain to me this thing that they do on the teeve when they are interviewing someone (usu. in a sitdown interview) they put the camera on the interviewees hands?

* there were a bunch of school-leavers getting on a cruiseboat in sydney who were all searched for drugs. dont they need some sorta reasonable suspicion to do that?

* "The average street price of illegal drugs is at the lowest level for a decade, according to new figures. The cost of a line of cocaine is now less than a glass of wine in some parts of Britain. A tablet of ecstasy costs as little as £1." i wanna move back to london. http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/crime/story.jsp?story=587578

* the other day i made a clumsy comment about neddo in orange in iran. it was in poor taste. i should have simply said 'i hope neddo doesnt spend any/much time in iran cos an attack there looks inevitable and i dont want him to get hurt'

* ap does a jessejackson vfraud story - which includes this separate bit "An attorney for a political advocacy group on Wednesday plans to file a "contest of election." The request requires a single Supreme Court justice to either let the election stand, declare another winner or throw the whole thing out. The loser can appeal to the full seven-member court, which is dominated by Republicans 5-2." http://edition.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/11/29/ohio.vote.ap/index.html
