Short Politics snd the Sporting Midget

Her first date with Verne--famous for playing midget clone
versions of baddie Dr Evil in the smash Austin Powers movies--was a
romantic dinner at seafood restaurant The Lobster overlooking the
Pacific in Santa Monica.

Ranae recalled: "Verne told me not to reach down and hold his
hand when we walked in as he didn't want it to look like a child out
with his mum.

"When we got to the table he'd fixed for the restaurant to pile
three thick phone books on the seat so he could be on the same level as
me. Once he'd sat down it was just like having dinner with a
normal-sized man.

"We laughed all night and I noticed what amazing eyes Verne had. By the end of the meal I was smitten.

On the first time they had sex:

"It was two weeks before we finally had sex, at his place.
I was so nervous I wanted it over and done with--in case there was no
chemistry or it just didn't work because of his size.

Billlionaire Israel Hedgefund Crook Eludes Jailer

They'll probably never see him again!

clipped from www.independent.co.uk Billionaire hedge-fund manager disappears on his way to prison A disgraced former New York hedge-fund manager has sparked a nationwide manhunt after apparently faking his own suicide on the day he was due to report to prison to begin a 20-year sentence for fraud. Samuel Israel III, a billionaire co-founder of the Bayou Group, is being sought by police after his car was found abandoned on the Bear Mountain Bridge in upstate New York with the words "suicide is painless" written into the dust on its bonnet. The authorities said that no body had been found, and that they were keeping an "open mind". Mr Israel had been due to report to prison by 2pm on Monday after being sentenced in April for his role in a scheme to cheat investors of $450m (£230m). Bruce Cuccia, a police investigator, said that no witnesses had seen anyone leave the vehicle or jump from the bridge, 40 miles north of New York. CCTV footage was inconclusive.

Bucs Stevens to Sue Mike Florio?

THE BUCS ASK THAT YOU NOT TALK ABOUT THE STEVENS RAPE CASE
Posted by Mike Florio on June 8, 2008, 4:35 p.m. EDT


The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have finally come up with the best possible strategy for dealing with the past rape allegations involving recently re-signed tight end Jerramy Stevens.

They’ve forbidden their fans from mentioning the situation on the team’s official message boards.

Florio then goes on to copy the private message of a moderator to back up his misleading assertion on his website, Pro Football Talk. Although Stevens has not started litigation yet, it may be just a matter of time.

By such a headline, is not Florio deliberately misleading readers to believe their is a rape case, when in fact there is not nor was there ever one? As a lawyer, surely his accountability is higher than the average person.

Florio Sucks

Well this character appeared on the Cutting Edge
and elicited this response:
"I wondered what this character looked like. Sort of like...a lawyer, huh? Yep, that's correct, you can move to the head of the class...Florio is a lawyer in West Virginia, when he's not wonking the NFL."
He's an internet hack. His video on You Tube is no longer available on the Cutting Edge although you might find some of the political cartoons amusing. His blog site Pro Football talk is basically a rumor mill and outlet for the obsessed NFL sports fans, especially hack Florio.

Belichick gets a Video; "You Cheated".

NFL genius coach and convicted video cheat gets his own video. LOL

Harris, Bush and Florida Revisited

Secretary of State K Harris; also the co chair of the elect Bush as president for Florida. What a great set up, I mean democracy.

clipped from www.slate.com But there is a pretty basic distinction between what the law requires and what the law merely allows. Even if Harris is right about the law, there is nothing to stop her from authorizing recounts in any county or every county except for her own partisan desire not to. She could have done it all along. She can still do it. Harris and the Bush contingent are misusing people's respect for the law to override their common sense about what the solution here ought to be. But it's not common sense versus the law—it's common sense versus Katherine Harris' discretion.

Sec. of State Katherine Harris' conflict of interest

Recount on HBO, the story of Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris was a good portrayal of the2000 election controversy between V.P. Gore and George W. Bush campaigns.
P.S. Not surprisingly, she's a Bill Belichick and Patriots fan.

clipped from www.slate.com There are excellent reasons for this recommendation. Following the contentious 2000 recount, e-mails on former Sec. of State Katherine Harris' computer revealed that she had been in contact with Jeb Bush during the recount, contrary to both their claims. Miami Herald reporter Meg Laughlin discovered that e-mail messages sent to Jeb Bush from Harris had been deleted after the recount. Harris then had the operating system of her computer changed, a procedure that erased all its data. "What was odd about what she did," said Mark Seibel, an editor at the Herald, "was that they installed an old operating system—not a new one—which makes you wonder why they did it."
