Oops. I just wanted to make a short replacement to this CNN headline:
WikiLeaks' Assange loses sex case appeal but will fight on
But something went wrong. Anyway, some schadenfreude here couldn't be denied. Justice will be eventually carried out, even if by a bunch of militant feminists. And even if in a roundabout way, and not directly because of this, or this. Or this. Etc.
The final image of this production by Israeli company Habima is a stark one. Small and crushed, as if weighed down by history itself, Jacob Cohen's broken Shylock – a man who has lost daughter, fortune and home – is seen, suitcase in hand, walking away from Venice, an eternal wandering Jew. But it was impossible not to think of other displaced people, too, most particularly the Palestinians.Curtains, please.

Welcome to the Watcher’s Council, a blogging group consisting of some of the most incisive blogs in the ‘sphere, and the longest running group of its kind in existence. Every week, the members nominate two posts each, one written by themselves and one written by someone from outside the group for consideration by the whole Council.Then we vote on the best two posts, with the results appearing on Friday.
Some people need to get a life: their excess of prudery must play havoc with their digestion and other vital bodily functions. Two heartrending stories caused me to take another look at what seems to become a problem even in the so called enlightened societies. To start with, the story of Lauren Odes:
Of course, the tame imperialist media presents the story in a different light:
A Wal-Mart customer is recovering after he was bitten by a rattlesnake in a garden department of the store chain. Mica Craig said the reptile pounced as he was shopping at the store in the north-western US state of Washington.But the truth will always out:
The 47-year-old stamped on the serpent and was later treated at hospital with anti-venom, after his hand suffered serious swelling.Mr Craig, of course, is in a fighting mood (watch the clip in that article, and Walmart better line up a good lawyer or three.
Mr Craig said the serpent attacked as he reached down to brush away what he thought was a stick from a bag of mulch.Uhu... I bet... have you ever seen a rattler looking like a stick? And this:
The purchase was intended for his marijuana plants, which Mr Craig said he was licensed to grow for medical reasons.Sure. Of course. But PETA, I am confident, will win this fight, and in the future we shall know it as the Clarkston Walmart Massacre.
Naked Man Shot as He Chewed Victim's Face
Miami police and witnesses say that an officer on Saturday fatally shot a naked man who was chewing on the face of another man on a downtown causeway off-ramp.Chef serves his own meat and two veg
A Tokyo man cooked and served his own privates to five diners at a bizarre banquet in Japan.Egypt's Brotherhood would keep Israel treaty: Carter
The Muslim Brotherhood may seek to modify, but will not destroy, Egypt's 33-year-old peace treaty with Israel, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter said on Saturday.
A brief posting, before we depart for extended stays (yes, the plural is deliberate: once retired, and with adequate funds, one travels) outside the UK and absence from the keyboard - although the emails are playing up, and british telecom is not our favourite multinational right now - I thought I'd trawl through a few of my favourite sites. As a result, I came across this, on Petra M-B's blog. It's up to her usual standard. It's on Iran and the development of nukes - isn't everything on Iran about that, these days?

I wouldn't have paid any special attention to this UPI story but for a slightly unusual (that is, for an avowed Islamist) name of the culprit: Viktor Dvorakovsky.
Viktor Dvorakovsky, 24, was sentenced by a regional court in Russia's southern Stavropol territory Thursday to 23 years in a high-security jail, RIA Novosti reported.The key sentence, however, is here:
Dvorakovsky was previously convicted of charges of plotting a terror attack, attempting to kill a police officer, making improvised explosive devices, inciting racial hatred and fraud.
As they say, different jokes for different blokes, or something in this vein. They also add something about no accounting for taste. However, that one is real strange:
One of the young women who attended Silvio Berlusconi's "bunga bunga" parties told a court on Friday that she dressed up as a burlesque version of U.S. President Barack Obama to entertain the former Italian prime minister.Yeah... Silvio is a gift that keeps giving...
Apparently it means "You shouldn't get us mad". Indeed, mad students are not a pretty sight at the best of times, witness this:
To summarize the week of events, it was almost the same lineup of speakers we have seen regularly in the past. Boring Ben White, the ever-annoying Berkeley professor Hatem Bazian, the misguided Hedy Epstein (who doesn't realize whom she is lending support to), always radical imam Amir Abdel Malik Ali ( who belies the claims of the MSU that they are really a mainstream religious organization that rejects anti-Semitism), and this time, veterans of the Oren disruption, 4 unrepentant young men, who swear if the Israeli ambassador ever returns to UCI, they will be there to disrupt again.Yeah, and the festivities to be repeated again. And again...
Of course, charlatans are not any nation's specialty. People who change identities, places and methods are known to escape the attention of gendarmes and judiciary for many years in many countries. But the story of Brett Kimberlin is quite unique. Starting with this (click to enlarge):
