“I thought I was caught in a do-or-die situation, and I decided it is better to do something than to let my family members die,” Aijaz said.

“I picked up the axe and attacked the group commander, Abu Osama, on his head. He fell down. Seeing this, I swung my axe towards the other militant and injured him on his face and he too fell down. Meanwhile, the third militant took my father out of the house,” he recollected.

A Black Man Trapped in a White World

racial

I laughed out loud for a second before realizing how sad this was.   Via AP.

LOS ANGELES – Software giant Microsoft Corp. is apologizing for altering a photo on its Web site to change the race of one of the people shown in the picture.

A photo on the Seattle-based company’s U.S. Web site shows two men, one Asian and one black, and a white woman seated at a conference room table. But on the Web site of Microsoft’s Polish business unit, the black man’s head has been replaced with that of a white man. The color of his hand remains unchanged.

The photo editing sparked criticism online. Some bloggers said Poland‘s ethnic homogeneity may have played a role in changing the photo.

“We are looking into the details of this situation,” Microsoft spokesperson Lou Gellos said in a statement Tuesday. “We apologize and are in the process of pulling down the image.”

Then I laughed again after listening to this song.

I wouldn’t mind living in Detroit for a few months.  It’s  something I’m interested in pursuing. Detroit is like a used up whore  begging for a good nights rest.  Does that make sense?

Anyway…  Ted Kennedy is dead.

Trenda G. Mace also passed away.  Trenda was a Christian.

Vladimir’s Vacation

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Vladimir Putin will eat your children (he probably already has).

The Czar-boro man? When Vladimir Putin rode a horse bare-chested through a rustic region of Siberia, it produced astonishing images casting him as a rugged Russian outdoorsman.

While Americans may think of the Marlboro man, for Russians the more powerful association is the warrior heroes of Russian fairy tales who rode horseback and defended Russia from foreign invaders.

In the official photographs and video, shown on state television, Putin cultivates the macho image that Russians appear to love as they look to him to keep the country stable and strong more than a year after he stepped down as president.

Putin was shown fishing and swimming the butterfly stroke in an icy river in the Tuva region of southern Siberia. He posed while sitting in a tree, wearing khaki pants and T-shirt with a canvas bush hat.

But the most astounding image was of 56-year-old Putin riding a horse through the mountains, his bare chest on full display.

A Living Legend

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

I spoke to this kid last night at two in the morning.

Not only is he one of my best friends but he is also a decent human being.

I’m 100% certain a Google search for ‘Nick Tskhakia’ will turn up a police blotter report and something about the ill-fated Computer Wizards.

Once, he was pistol whipped by a Georgian (Republic of) soldier.

Once, I sat shotgun in his car when he drove into some punk kid that owed him twenty bucks.  The kid didn’t get injured and Nick got his money.

Once, we set fire to a garbage dumpster near my house.  The fire department came while we watched with glee.

Once, we got into a fist fight while he was driving and we totaled his car right after I bought Micheal Jackson’s Thriller at a garage sale.

Once (maybe twice), we egged our high school librarian’s house.

This is not an obituary.

The list continues…

Just Sexteen

I rolled out of bed this morning and stumbled into the living room only to find my roommate in a panic.  He was stuffing an overnight bag full of clothes in a frenzy, a wild look in his eye.  On the counter were a couple stacks of crisp one dollar bills.

“What’s the rush?” I prodded.  By the look on his face one might have thought a close family member had passed away or the hammer of justice was closing down on him; he was as red as an Irishman, sweat pouring from his brow.

“I’m going to Rhode Island for the weekend man,” he said nonchalantly.

I shrugged my shoulders and grabbed a glass of orange juice from the kitchen.  The front door slammed shut, minutes later I saw him scurry across the street from my bedroom window.  He got in a red mini-van that was packed to the hilt with males of a similar age and caliber.  The driver honked the horn and the Dodge Caravan peeled out onto the busy avenue.

Weird.

Then I checked out news headlines and found this article.  It all makes sense now…

stripper-pole

PROVIDENCE, R.I., July 21  — Rhode Island police looking for a 16-year-old runaway say they were shocked to discover no laws barring underage girls from performing at strip clubs.

With no state laws or Providence city ordinances specifically barring minors from such activities, police say they couldn’t stop minors from stripping for money even if they witnessed such a performance in person, the Providence (R.I.) Journal reported Tuesday.

“I’ve been doing this a long time,” said youth services Sgt. Carl Weston

, “and I can’t find anything that says it’s illegal for a 16-year-old or a 17-year-old to take her top off and dance.”

The discovery of the situation has sparked worries that teenage strippers could easily move from dancing into prostitution, which is also currently legal in the state. Venues with city liquor licenses are required to keep the teenagers from drinking, but not off the stage, the Journal reported.

“You can’t serve alcohol if you’re under 18,” Weston told the newspaper, “but you can be the target of a man’s groping hands at age 16.”
