I dont want to start any blasphemous rumours,
but I think that God has a sick sense of humour.

Downing Street today refused to deny rumours that UK TV chef Nigella Lawson would be doing the catering for the US president, George Bush, during his state visit to Britain later this month.

Now an internet website has reported that the TV chef was there to meet the Downing Street catering staff, as she would be planning the menu for President Bush's state dinner with the Queen and Mr Blair.

On President Bush's recent visit to Thailand, 10 mice were assigned the task of tasting the president's food first for poisoning. Whether such security measures apply in the UK is unknown.

Well, he looked guilty.:
OTTAWA - William Sampson lambasted the Canadian government today, saying it complied with his torture in a Saudi jail by presuming he was guilty and failed to act forcefully to get him out. Sampson, who has described brutal torture over his 31-month incarceration, and near beheading, said the Department of Foreign Affairs now has a damning "track record" of mismanagement given the evidence of his case and those of hapless Maher Arar and Zahra Kazemi who were also tortured in jails in the Middle East. Kazemi died after a beating in Iran. Sampson demanded public inquiries into all three cases during a scathing presentation before a Commons foreign affairs committee.

i liked depeche mode a little, but mostly because their tunes remind me of my favorite high school/college memories and friends. other bands i'll remember fondly, if simply because the music is still good. mode's stuff wasn't bad, but it wasn't near and dear to my heart. when i wanted an electronic sound, new order was my band of choice.

doomed? hardly. i'm optimistic.
(Mon Nov 10, 2003 - 5:18:59 pm)

Well, he looked guilty.:
Aileen Carroll, Liberal fartcatcher, and parliamentary secretary to Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham, defended her government's handling of the case and told Sampson he was always presumed to be innocent of the Saudi charges."I am dismayed to hear your very negative judgment," she said, noting that Sampson's life had been spared after "months of living under a death sentence by beheading, eh?" "My sense is . . . that every conceivable effort in every possible diplomatic venue was employed by every possible person to try to possibly obtain that release."

MANISTEE -- A Manistee woman convicted in 1998 for insulting conduct in a
public place recently had her appeal denied by the 19th Circuit Court.

"Typical Manistee," said Janice Barton, 44, who stated she was disappointed
by the ruling denying her leave to appeal.

According to court documents, Barton's problems began in the summer of 1998
when at a local restaurant an off-duty Manistee County Sheriff's Deputy of
Hispanic descent heard Barton say, "I wish these damn spics would move out
of the way."

When the off-duty officer confronted Barton outside, Barton said, "I wish
you people would just learn English." The officer's father had been asking
his wife, in Spanish, to make room for Barton and her family as they passed
their group when the incident occurred. A warrant for Barton's arrest was
issued in October of 1998.

During her 1998 trial on the misdemeanor charge, Barton's attorney
contended she was speaking to her mother in a private conversation and
didn't intend for the off-duty officer to hear her comment and argued the
charge should be dismissed. Eighty-fifth District Court Judge Brent
Danielson disagreed and said the words were clearly intended to insult or
provoke a fight.

"You don't say words like this when someone is present . . . unless you are
either intending to hurt them or injure them," he said during that 1998
trail.

Barton was originally sentenced to 45 days in the Manistee County Jail,
fined $500 and placed on two years probation by Danielson. She was
immediately sent to jail, but three days later the conviction was vacated
and modified to seven days after the court accepted a new plea agreement in
which Barton agreed not to appeal.

Stating the ordinance in which she was convicted was over broad and vague,
Barton argued her 1st Amendment rights were violated. Circuit Judge James
M. Batzer disagreed.

Barton said she is undecided on whether she will continue pursuing the appeal

i just bought the "coldplay 2003" live dvd/cd combo. nice performance, really well shot. some minor issues involving audio levels and compression on the dvd, but that could have been on my side, vs a mix issue.
