SLIGHTLY ALARMING: Accepted ten bucks from a diner to get them a better table? Live in Oregon? You're a terrorist, sir: OREGON'S SENATE Bill 742, section 19, chapter 666 defines the "unlawful labeling of a sound recording" as terrorism and would make it punishable by a minimum life sentence of 25 years in prison without parole. After 25 years (if they're fortunate) the state might allow them to find "employment at a forest or work camp" or other similar "post prison supervision". Other acts described as terrorism include (but are not limited to): * Blocking traffic * School walkouts * Computer crime * Accepting a bribe * Theft and Burglary * Unauthorized use of a vehicle * Unlawful labeling of a videotape * Unlawful recording of a live performance * Negotiating a bad check * Dogfighting * Delivery of an imitation controlled substance * Producing fake IDs * Using another's driver's license * Drunk driving * Selling cigarettes to a minor And the state only has to come up with two "witnesses". Now might be the time for citizens of Oregon to call their Senators. SLIGHTLY ALARMING: Accepted ten bucks from a diner to get them a better table? Live in Oregon?

THIS IS WHAT THEY GET THEM ON?: With all the things you could moan at Fox News about, they get them on undue prominence of a sauce company you can't buy in the UK? Tuesday, November 11, 2003
ARGUMENTS IN FAVOUR OF ID CARDS CONSIDERED: Apparently, they'll stop benefit fraud. Since most benefit fraud is, we're told, carried out by people signing on and still working cash in hand, how's having a card with their retina drawn on it going to help? "Sorry, Pal, I can't give you two days labouring and then pay you in old tenners, as you've got an ID card..." DEEP IN THE SHADOWS CABINET: Of course Howard has had to have people double-up their portfolios for his shadow cabinet - he's got such thinly spread talent, what else can he do? INTERACT WITH SOMETHING OF THE NIGHT: In a bid to try and do something different than just a standard blog, you can actually join and react and agree and disagree and, ooh, a million things by joining the email version: either visit the website or send an email to join. It may all fall flat on its arse, or it might fly. But it'll be fun trying. |
