Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at 9:43 AM Asian or Jew? Police say Enedina Cardona Rodriguez brought two of her eight children to drug deals in which she sold black tar heroin to customers in Long Beach, Calif. "In one surveillance video, Rodriguez is seen selling heroin as her two youngest boys, 3 and 6 years old, lean out of the passenger window of her black Isuzu SUV," The Press-Telegram says. "The youngest boy tells one customer his name and holds up three fingers to show his age at his mother's prompting, then watches as his mom hands over a baggy of heroin in exchange for cash." The children have been taken into protective custody. Rodriguez, 35, now faces felony drug and child-endangerment charges, according to the paper. "Of all the stuff we see in this job, this is the worst," police Sgt. Paul LeBaron says. —plurry |

Another Houston Strip Club Raided
Sheriff's sting operation nets 18 arrests at Texas gentlemen's club
JUNE 2--Proving again that it's legally perilous to work at a Texas gentlemen's club, police last Thursday arrested 18 employees of a Houston strip joint on a variety of charges, including prostitution and violating the city's strict regulations governing sexually oriented business. The May 29 raid at St. James Cabaret was carried out by Harris County Sheriff's Office vice officers following a weeklong undercover operation. On the following pages you'll find mug shots of 15 of the women caught up in the law enforcement sweep, which was triggered by citizen complaints about operations at the club. This is at least the fourth time in the last 18 months that a Houston strip club has been raided. Previous cases, which are detailed, netted 32 arrests. In most instances, dancers were busted for improper contact with customers, a violation of the "three-foot rule" governing how close a dancer can get to a customer.

Edited Wednesday, June 4, 2008 at 1:46 PM i like adams take on numbers of kids, a car analogy from TACS yesterday.
there's the one guy who has 8 cars, even if they're BMWs, porches and ferraris, each of them is not that special to him, like jay lenno, hundreds of cars, each can't mean that much.
then there's this guy who has his precious 1947 woody, which he loves dearly, and then his toyota that he drives every day.
it's not perfect, but you can apply this rule to kids; if you have 8, 10, 12 kids, you can't spend much time with any of them, and they lose their meaning. keep it down to a maximum of 3 not verbatim, but i think i got his general message through —jizzgrenade |

Monday, June 9, 2008 at 11:09 AM Apple announces faster, cheaper iPhone CEO Steve Jobs unveils the much-anticipated 3G iPhone; cuts the iPhone price to $200; takes aim at the BlackBerry. Fortune -- Apple announced on Monday a much faster iPhone that's half the price of the current model. The news is expected to address one of the biggest complaints about the hugely popular iPhone: That its network is too slow. CEO Steve Jobs said the new iPhone 36% is faster than top rival Nokia's N95 smartphone. Available July 11, the new 8-gigabyte iPhone will cost $199; a 16-gigabyte version will cost $299. Jobs also said the new iPhone will have an extended battery life with up to six hours of Web browsing and five hours of talk time. The Jobs made the announcements at the company's annual World Wide Developers conference at the Moscone West Center in San Francisco. Company executives spent more than hour detailing a series of new iPhone applications aimed at boosting revenue from data services. Wireless companies increasingly are looking to these services to offset slowing growth in mobile phone sales. MobileMe, the new wireless e-mail service, costs $99 a year. Apple also introduced a slew of new applications for the iPhone, including a wireless system that automatically forwards e-mail to other devices, a friend-finding service called Loopt and mobile blogging software from TypePad. Other new applications for the iPhone include a service from MLB.com that provides a live scoreboard of major league games and a music-making software, called Cow Terry, for creating songs on the phone. The news comes as Apple watchers await the much-anticipated unveiling of a new, speedier iPhone. Since the original was introduced nearly a year ago, Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) has sold 6 million iPhones, according to Jobs on Monday. The company has set a goal of selling 10 million handsets worldwide this year. The biggest complaint about the iPhone has been its slow network, called EDGE and operated by AT&T. AT&T (T, Fortune 500) is the exclusive seller of the iPhone in the United States. Attendance at the Apple developers conference, which is aimed at software engineers, is a record 5,200, according to Fortune.com's Phil Elmer-DeWitt, who is blogging live from the show. Jobs kicked off the conference by talking about the iPhone for business users, a lucrative market dominated by rival Research in Motion (RIMM). He said that the iPhone now works with Microsoft's Exchange office server systems - a key feature if the iPhone hopes to crack the BlackBerry's lock on working professionals. Jobs also said that 35% of the Fortune 500 has participated in a beta program for business applications for the iPhone. Also, Jobs announced that the new version of the Mac operating system OS X is called "Snow Leopard." —pookie |

Passwords revealed by sweet deal
Chocolate bars on supermarket shelf, BBC
Security crumbles in the face of sweet bribes
More than 70% of people would reveal their computer password in exchange for a bar of chocolate, a survey has found. It also showed that 34% of respondents volunteered their password when asked without even needing to be bribed. A second survey found that 79% of people unwittingly gave away information that could be used to steal their identity when questioned. Security firms predict that the lax security practices will fuel a British boom in online identity theft. Security shock The survey on passwords was carried out for the Infosecurity Europe trade show due to take place at Olympia in London from 27-29 April. The survey data was gathered by questioning commuters passing through Liverpool Street station in London and found that many were happy to share login and password information with those carrying out the research. A dog with a stick, BBC
Pet names are often used for passwords
As well as people simply telling the questioners their passwords or saying they would hand them over in exchange for some confectionery, a further 34% revealed the word or phrase they used when asked if it had anything to do with a pet or child's name. Family names, pets and football teams were all used by those questioned to provide inspiration for a password. The survey found that, on average, people have to remember four passwords, though one unlucky respondent had to remember 40. Many adopt very unsafe tactics to remember these login names. Some of those questioned simply use the same password for every system they must log on to. Those that used several passwords often wrote them down and hid them in a desk or in a document on their computer. Almost all of those questioned, 80%, said they were fed up with passwords and would like a better way to login to work computer systems. Stolen goods A separate survey carried out for RSA Security found further evidence of the lax password and security habits of Britons. It found that many people volunteered important personal information, such as their mother's maiden name or their own date of birth, when questioned during a street survey. Such information is coveted by identity thieves as these facts are often used by sites as security checks. The RSA survey found that maintaining online identities is becoming a burden for many people who, on average, use 20 sites that require them to register and then log on afterwards. To make these different online personas easy to manage, two-thirds use the same password for all the different sites. Of those questioned 33% said they shared passwords or wrote them down to make it easy to remember which one to use on which website. "We are amazed at the level of ignorance from consumers on the need to protect their online identity," said Tim Pickard, spokesman for RSA Security. Tony Neate, from the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit, said the British economy loses millions of pounds a year as a result of identity fraud. "This can only increase if people do not become more aware of their responsibilities to protect their virtual identities," he said.

When I see tha mothafucka I'ma blast
Boom in his head, boom, boom in his back just like that
Cause I'm tired of you good little niggas
Saying increase the peace and let the violence cease
When the black man built this country
But can't get his for the prejudiced honky
Rodney King, god damn sell-out
On TV crying for a cop
The same mothafuckas who beat the hell outcha
Now I wish they would've shotcha
Cause this shit is deeper than Vietnam
And ain't no room for the Uncle Tom
Let the white man dress you up and mess you up
I wouldn't be suprised if he sexed you up
Cause you look like a gay
Letting them white folks tell you what to say
But I'm glad that niggas stayed out of check
Cause that's the only thing rednecks respect
We don't want your welfare checks
Nigga need a real job to buy a rolex
And until we get it, we gonna keep throwing them things
Fuck Rodney King! Fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em
Fuck that nigga!
Fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em Now the Negro National Anthem:
"We shall overcome...we shall overcome..." Fuck all that singing
I'ma be too busy swinging
That's the problem with the black folks
Always wanna bust a note
And hold hands and form rallies
And down niggas for fighting back in Cali
I'm down with the niggas who's nexting
Fuck all that god damn protesting
So don't try to pull it
5th Ward niggas fight bullets with bullets
Right between the eyes
So you can keep your mothafucking Noble Peace Prize
I said fuck Rodney King and I mean it
And any mothafucka out there who resent it
Cause didn't nobody set a fire for Willie D
When the laws beat the fuck out of me
Fuck Rodney King! Fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em
Fuck that nigga! Fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em, fuck'em
Fuck that nigga! Fuck that mothafucking sell-out hoe
They need to beat his ass some mo'
Fool talking about stop the violence
When niggas can't even shit in silence
I can't ride up the street with my homies without 5-0 all on me
Riding my tailgate and running my god damn license plate
Sweating Willie D since I'm a minority
They fuck with me, I still got a lot of grudges
It's high time that we take out some judges
And some congressmen and senators who cheat us
And all of these so called black leaders
Like Craig Washington, nigga sound dense
Trying to play both sides of the fence
Brown nosing cause he was chosen
By the whites to make niggas act right
You can't lead the black struggle
And be friends with the enemy, mothafucka
While you trying to keep your fucking job
Black folks getting robbed
But when it's time for the revolution
I'ma click, click, click, fuck this rap shit
Cause money ain't shit but a grief
If you ain't got no peace
Gotta come on with it, get down for my little Willies
So they con come up strong and live long
And not to be scared to get it on... —MajandraFan |

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 at 3:14 PM FDA Expands Tomato Warning Due To Salmonella Florida Tomatoes OK, Report Says The Food and Drug Administration has expanded its warning to consumers that a salmonella outbreak has been linked to consumption of certain raw red plum, raw red Roma, raw red round tomatoes, and products containing these tomatoes. The FDA recommended that consumers not eat these tomatoes unless they have been grown and harvested from countries, and territories that have not been associated with this outbreak. The FDA said it's working "hard and fast" to trace the source of the outbreak. Florida agricultural leaders said the federal government has cleared the state's tomatoes of being the cause of the salmonella scare. State Agriculture Department spokeswoman Liz Compton said a lot of damage has been done already economically to growers, grocers and restaurateurs, but re-emphasized that Florida's tomatoes are safe. The department is contacting grocers and restaurants to give them the update. The FDA has yet to put Florida on its safe list for tomatoes. Compton said the agency doesn't update the list until evening. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the 167 cases reported since mid-April involve salmonella with the same "genetic fingerprint." States reporting illnesses linked to the outbreak include: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. The list of supermarkets and restaurants yanking the affected varieties of tomatoes is growing. They include McDonald's, Wal-Mart, Burger King, Kroger, Outback Steakhouse, Winn-Dixie and Taco Bell. Cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, tomatoes sold with the vine still attached and home-grown tomatoes are likely not the source of the outbreak, federal officials said. At least 23 people have been hospitalized. Salmonella is a bacterial infection that causes fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps that typically last four to seven days. Symptoms include headache, stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. —pookie |

Thursday, June 12, 2008 at 2:02 AM A 30-YEAR HIGH??!! that IS potent!
Study: Marijuana potency reaches 30-year high in 2007
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Marijuana potency increased last year to the highest level in more than 30 years, posing greater health risks to people who may view the drug as harmless, according to a report released Thursday by the White House. A report says marijuana potency has increased, posing health risks to people who may view the drug as harmless. The latest analysis from the University of Mississippi's Potency Monitoring Project tracked the average amount of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, in samples seized by law enforcement agencies from 1975 through 2007. It found that the average amount of THC reached 9.6 percent in 2007, compared with 8.75 percent the previous year. The 9.6 percent level represents more than a doubling of marijuana potency since 1983, when it averaged just under 4 percent. "Today's report makes it more important than ever that we get past outdated, anachronistic views of marijuana," said John Walters, director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. He cited baby boomer parents who might have misguided notions that the drug contains the weaker potency levels of the 1970s. "Marijuana potency has grown steeply over the past decade, with serious implications in particular for young people," Walters said. He cited the risk of psychological, cognitive and respiratory problems, and the potential for users to become dependent on drugs such as cocaine and heroin. While the drug's potency may be rising, marijuana users generally adjust to the level of potency and smoke it accordingly, said Dr. Mitch Earleywine, who teaches psychology at the State University of New York in Albany and serves as an adviser for marijuana advocacy groups. "Stronger cannabis leads to less inhaled smoke," he said. The White House office attributed the increases in marijuana potency to sophisticated growing techniques that drug traffickers are using at sites in the United States and Canada. A report from the office last month found that a teenager who has been depressed in the past year was more than twice as likely to have used marijuana than teenagers who have not reported being depressed -- 25 percent compared with 12 percent. The study said marijuana use increased the risk of developing mental disorders by 40 percent. "The increases in marijuana potency are of concern since they increase the likelihood of acute toxicity, including mental impairment," said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, which funded the University of Mississippi study. "Particularly worrisome is the possibility that the more potent THC might be more effective at triggering the changes in the brain that can lead to addiction," Volkow said. But there's no data showing that a higher potency in marijuana leads to more addiction, Earleywine said, and marijuana's withdrawal symptoms are mild at best. "Mild irritability, craving for marijuana and decreased appetite -- I mean those are laughable when you talk about withdrawal from a drug. Caffeine is worse." The project analyzed data on 62,797 cannabis samples, 1,302 hashish samples, and 468 hash oil samples obtained primarily from seizures by law enforcement agencies in 48 states since 1975. —pookie |

Edited Friday, June 13, 2008 at 3:47 AM What Women Want (Maybe)
A new documentary about bisexuality provides scientific evidence that places female sexuality along a continuum between heterosexuality and homosexuality, rather than as an either-or phenomenon.
June 12, 2008
By ANDY NEWMAN LADIES! Behold the splendor of the nude male form: sleek and powerful, a miracle of sculpted sinew, striding confidently across the sand or stretching out before you in ever-uncoiling glory. On second thought, perhaps you’d prefer not to. So say scientists at the frontiers of research on the eternal question of what women find erotic, the latest answer to which seems to be: not naked guys, or at least not simply naked guys. “For heterosexual women,” a researcher, Meredith Chivers, says in a new documentary about bisexuality called “Bi the Way,” which was shown at the NewFest film festival in New York last Friday, “looking at a naked man walking on the beach is about as exciting as looking at landscapes.” Dr. Chivers, a research fellow at the Center for Addiction and Mental Health at the University of Toronto, says she has data to support this assertion. She recently published results of a study in which she showed people video clips of naked men and women in various sexual and nonsexual situations and measured their genital arousal. Heterosexual women, Dr. Chivers and her colleagues found, were no more excited by athletic naked men doing yoga or tossing stones into the ocean than they were by the control footage: long pans of the snowcapped Himalayas. When straight women viewed a video of a naked woman doing calisthenics, on the other hand, their blood flow increased significantly. What really matters to women, Dr. Chivers said, at least in the somewhat artificial setting of watching movies while intimately hooked up to a device called a photoplethysmograph, is not the gender of the actor, but the degree of sensuality. Even more than the naked exercisers, they were aroused by videos of masturbation, and more still by graphic videos of couples making love. Women with women, men with men, men with women: it did not seem to matter much to her female subjects, Dr. Chivers said. “Women physically don’t seem to differentiate between genders in their sex responses, at least heterosexual women don’t,” she said. “For heterosexual women, gender didn’t matter. They responded to the level of activity.” Dr. Chivers’s work adds to a growing body of scientific evidence that places female sexuality along a continuum between heterosexuality and homosexuality, rather than as an either-or phenomenon. “She’s pinpointing what’s kind of obvious, and yet unexplored: that women are so fluid in their sexuality,” one of the directors of “Bi the Way,” Josephine Decker, said at an after-party for the screening at a Russian-themed gay bar in Midtown. Women’s response to images of coupling extends even to other species, Dr. Chivers found. In a 2004 experiment, and again in the recent study, published in the December 2007 Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Dr. Chivers and her colleagues found women slightly but significantly aroused by footage of bonobo chimps mating. Men showed no such response. And when Dr. Chivers asked her subjects to rate their own arousal to the videos they watched, the women, whether gay or straight, tended to give higher ratings to films showing women. “Heterosexual women are responding to women, which is counterintuitive,” Dr. Chivers said. “Why are women so turned on by watching other women?” Straight and gay men, as well as lesbians, were more predictably aroused by images of their preferred sex, Dr. Chivers found. It is tough to know what to make of this information. Dr. Chivers makes no bold claims for it. “To conclude that women are bisexual on the basis of their sexual responding overlooks the complexity and multidimensionality of female sexuality,” she wrote in her paper. She did allow that the apparent flexibility of women “may be related to greater potential for bisexuality in women than in men.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edited Friday, June 13, 2008 at 11:21 PM A monkey that's genetically closest to a human or something. It fuxalot. Women’s response to images of coupling extends even to other species, Dr. Chivers found. In a 2004 experiment, and again in the recent study, published in the December 2007 Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Dr. Chivers and her colleagues found women slightly but significantly aroused by footage of bonobo chimps mating. Men showed no such response.

Friday, June 13, 2008 at 11:27 PM i remember once watching a flash tutorial showing women how to have sex with their pet dog. It was done kind of like an infomercial, but it was graphically serious.
Around the same time I remember stumbling across a chat channel in WinMX dedicated to women who love to fuck horses. They were sharing videos of each other doing it and stuff. Thank christ I only had dial-up at that point. More than a few moment of comically violent horse-woman sex is not something I need bouncing around in my head.
God, WinMX. Scrolling through that list of chat channels was like having a picnic next to a water treatment plant. —MajandraFan |

Saturday, June 14, 2008 at 5:46 PM I like to imagine that things like that are either made by someone so innocent and pure that they honestly would never make the connection... or that they're made by a sick twisted fuck who knew exactly what they were doing and managed to sneak one in under the radar while they were secretly laughing their asses off the whole time. Either case brings a smile to my face. —anobody |

Here in Maryland, within my own lifetime, there have been two black Republicans to run for the U.S. Senate (neither won, but this is a blue state):
Alan Keyes in 1988 and (then-incumbent Lt. Governor, the first black one in MD) Michael Steele in 2006. —Dusty TheHick |

Edited Saturday, June 14, 2008 at 10:51 PM i was joking. i realize there are black republicans. when i read that story, i was reminded of an 80's movie called "amazon women on the moon". basically a spoof with lots of cameos by actors on their way up or on the way down. DAG played a character named don "no soul" simmons. he played piano and acted whiter than whitey.
there were two jokes involved with his character. the first was bb king doing a PSA type commercial urging people to give money to an organization trying to find a cure for black people born without a soul. then they cut to a few examples: one was of a black couple at a golf course/country club dressed all yuppie-ish, and were talking about the virtues of the republican party. then they cut to DAG playing piano and he's singing "tie a yellow ribbon" acting just as lily white as possible. the other joke occurred later in the film. don "no soul" simmons now has his own commercial promoting an album where he sings old standards that only white people would enjoy. the voice over is saying how remarkable he is for turning his disability into a career. i highly recommend this movie. there are some really funny moments. the last time i called into loveline, (01-29-2004) i got DAG to sing a few bars of "tie a yellow ribbon". very surreal for me.
i could never fathom that i would enjoy this unknown comic back in '87, and then get the same guy to do the bit that made me laugh per my request some 17 years later. —plurry |

Saturday, June 14, 2008 at 10:54 PM attention Darwin Awards: SEATTLE -- A 21-year-old University of Washington student has died after he fell 30 feet from a fraternity house window onto a concrete surface. The student, reported to be a junior from Renton, was taken to Seattle's Harborview Medical Center after emergency crews were called at 4:30 a.m. Saturday, but later died. He lived at the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity house, and apparently fell from his third-floor bedroom. Seattle police spokesman Mark Jamieson said the fall was believed to be an accident, with no indication of foul play. Investigators had not located any witnesses to the fall. -- The Associated Press —bguirk |

Yeah, I figured you were joking. I'm just surprised that, given how few of them there are, we've had two different ones run for Senate from here within 20 years.
Coincidentally, I believe Keyes later ran for Senate from your state, yesyes? *makes mental note to look into Amazon Women on the Moon* —Dusty TheHick |

Edited Sunday, June 15, 2008 at 12:19 AM I think Bill Maher gave a good explanation for poor Republicans. It went something like this - the Republicans are pissing on you, the Democrats are saying "they're pissing on you, but here's an umbrella", and the Republicans are saying "you can be one of the pissers instead of the pissees" ... of course, he said it in a much better way; I'd have to hammer out the beats to get something passable; also, there's this. The people I really don't get are gay Republicans.

Edited Sunday, June 15, 2008 at 4:56 PM Time for another installment of.. definitely not a jewwwwwwww. TURLOCK, Calif. (AP) — A 27-year-old man was fatally shot by police as he kicked, punched and stomped a young toddler to death in front of horrified motorists who tried to stop the attack on a dark country road, authorities said. Investigators on Sunday were trying to establish the relationship between the suspect and the child they say he killed Saturday night. The Stanislaus County coroner said the boy appeared to be between 1 and 2 years old based on his size, according to county sheriff's deputy Royjindar Singh. "It's been a long night of wondering, 'Why?' — not only for the officers and the passersby who stopped and tried to help out, but for anyone. Why would somebody do this?" Singh said. Singh said the coroner does not plan to confirm the identities of the suspect and victim until Monday. Because his injuries were so severe, the child will have to be identified through a blood or DNA test, he said. The suspect had a child's car seat in the back of his four-door pickup. The truck caught the attention of an elderly couple at 10:13 p.m. Saturday because it was stopped in the two-lane road facing the wrong direction, Singh said. As they got closer, the couple saw the man brutally beating the toddler behind his truck and throwing the child on the ground, according to Singh. Two or three other cars stopped, an unusual number to be passing through the remote area surrounded by a dairy, a cow pasture, a cornfield and a farmhouse, he said. "What we got from witnesses is he was punching, slapping, kicking, stomping, shaking," Singh said. "They tried to intervene and get involved, but their efforts really didn't have an effect. The suspect was engaged in what he was doing. He just pushed them off and went back to it." A sheriff's helicopter responding to emergency calls from the area landed in a cow pasture at 10:19 p.m. carrying a Modesto police officer who shot the man to death after he refused an order to stop beating the child, Singh said. Paramedics tried to resuscitate the toddler, who was not breathing when they arrived. The boy was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. No children within the dead boy's age range have been reported kidnapped or missing in Stanislaus County, Singh said. The incident happened on Bradbury Road about 10 miles west of Turlock, a city located about halfway between Sacramento and Fresno. —plurry |

Tuesday, June 17, 2008 at 6:51 AM Team America California, free refills and Megan Fox are no longer the only good things about America.Because now, America has its own Top Gear telly show. Well, they're getting a pilot for a US version of the show at least. And even though you will have no idea who any of them are, they've just announced their presenters... First up there's Adam Carolla, who has a whole host of superlatives associated with his name, like 'comedian', 'radio personality', 'television presenter' and 'actor'. He's best known over there for his radio programme The Adam Carolla Show, yet over here you might have seen him in Crank Yankers, the TV show he produced and starred in that features real crank calls by celebrity guests which are then re-enacted on screen by puppets. Most importantly however, he owns two classic Lambos, Maseratis, Ferraris and an Audi S4. Which is a better qualification than anything. Then there's Tanner Foust - how good is that name?? - who's a high demand stunt guy, having driven in The Bourne Ultimatum, that Fast And The Furious set in Japan and, er, The Dukes Of Hazzard. He's also won a load of different things for rallying, drifting, ice racing and time attack. But all you really need to know is this, and that he drives a 'tricked-out' M3. Bringing up the rear is Eric Stromer, who's an American DIY legend - think Handy Andy with blonde hair and a guitar - who's also a regular on Carolla's radio show, advising listeners on their construction concerns. And he drives a Toyota Camry hybrid... ahem. It seems no one's told Clarkson that though, 'cos he's quite happy about it all: "This is fantastic news - but how on earth you lot are going to do it on the wrong side of the road I've no idea."
