Just Another Isolated Incident
Move along… Watch where you step...
A massive inflatable dog turd [Entitled ‘Complex Shit’] which was part of an installation at a modern art museum in Switzerland escaped its moorings before getting caught in overhead electricity cables.
Loose moorings....
A foreign national found dead in a downtown hotel. A jar next to him containing a chemical that had the telltale odor of cyanide - almond.
...But Wednesday, the chemical was identified [sodium cyanide], and officials stressed there was no sign of foul play in the death of Saleman Abdirahman Dirie. [ 29, Canada]

8.8.08 Ain't so Lucky for Georgians
uh oh
RUSSIAN troops and tanks were moving into South Ossetia last night, hours after the Kremlin warned Georgia that its attack on the breakaway province would draw retaliation.
...The column of tanks and trucks was headed through the Russian region of North Ossetia for the 4km Roki tunnel, which leads into South Ossetia.
...After reports that Russian soldiers on peacekeeping duty in South Ossetia had been killed when a missile hit their barracks, President Dmitry Medvedev promised to defend Russian citizens under attack.
“We cannot allow the deaths of our countrymen to go unpunished. The guilty parties will receive the punishment they deserve,” he said.
“I am obliged to protect the lives and dignity of Russian citizens, no matter where they are located.”
...Georgian forces yesterday fired more than a dozen missiles towards South Ossetia from a position inside Georgia, and helicopters and hundreds of soldiers in trucks were moving towards the region. A large plume of smoke rose from Tskhinvali shortly after dawn and explosions and heavy weapons continued regularly, as they had all night.
Georgia’s President Mikheil Saakashvili said: “Most of South Ossetia’s territory is liberated and is controlled by Georgia.”
Russian Prime Minister Vladmir Putin condemned Georgia’s ``aggressive actions’’ and said his country would have to retaliate.
“They have, in effect, begun hostilities using tanks and artillery,” he said in Beijing.
“It is sad, but this will provoke retaliatory measures.”Mr Putin said he had discussed the crisis with Chinese leaders and with US President George W. Bush. “Everybody agrees - nobody wants to see a war.”
The offensive was described by General Mamuka Kurashvili, who leads Georgia’s contribution to the peacekeeping mission in South Ossetia, as an attempt to “restore constitutional order”.
...In recent months, Moscow and Tbilisi have sparred repeatedly over South Ossetia and another breakaway Georgian region, Abkhazia. Georgia’s pro-Western Government accuses Moscow of seeking to annex the two regions and derail its efforts to join the NATO alliance, which Russia vehemently opposes.

Earist!
what else could it be but those jug-ears?!?
"I was in Union, Mo., which is 98 percent white, a rural conservative, and what I said was what I think everyone knows, which is that I don’t look like I came out of central casting when it comes to presidential candidates,” [Obama] told The St. Petersburg Times. “There was nobody there who thought at all that I was trying to inject race in this."
Referring to:
They’re going to try to say that I’m a risky guy. They’re going to try to say, well, you know, he’s got a funny name. And he doesn’t look like all the presidents on the dollar bills and the five dollar bills.
What could he mean?
[Campaign manager David] Axelrod told “GMA” it meant, “He’s not from central casting when it comes to candidates for president of the United States. He’s new to Washington. Yes, he’s African-American.”
He’s Whaaaaaaaa?!?!?
"Let me be clear, in no way do I think John McCain’s campaign was being racist,’’ Obama said. “I think they’re cynical. I think they are trying to distract people from the real issues. It’s of a piece with the Britney and Paris ad.... Their team is good at distractions and planting negative’’ points. “I am absolutely confident that the people in Union, Mo., or Jacksonville, Florida, or any other town in the country, at the end of the day are going to be making the decision based on what is best for their lives.’’
Aw sheesh. Everybody update your Codeword Notebooks. Again.

Rap for the Dumb Masses
say it quick
The proposed plan would take the excess profits of oil companies to help working families deal with energy costs in the form of new $1,000 rebate checks, [oh yeah—*that’ll* keep energy prices down] and would enact a $50 billion economic stimulus package to jump-start job creation and help local communities that are struggling due to our economic downturn. You can read the full plan [at the site—but ya can’t copy/paste it]:
Dork.
Neo Fascism
up your sleeve - in your can
Garbage collectors would inspect San Francisco residents’ trash to make sure pizza crusts aren’t mixed in with chip bags or wine bottles under a proposal by Mayor Gavin Newsom.
And if residents or businesses don’t separate the coffee grounds from the newspapers, they would face fines of up to $1,000 and eventually could have their garbage service stopped.
[To] achieve a goal set by the Board of Supervisors to ... have zero waste by 2020.
...The city could also levy a fine of up to $500 for the first violation, $750 for the second in one year and $1,000 for the third in a year.
...In Seattle, self-policing often brings compliance, Stav said.
“When you’re the one guy on the block with the little tag on your garbage can, everyone knows you screwed up,” he said. “There’s a little bit of shame, a ‘Scarlet Letter’ effect, to this program that seems to work with people.”
Newsom said fines would only be levied in egregious circumstances.“We don’t want to fine people,” the mayor said. “We want to change behavior."
So you’re not gonna actually enforce the fines?

Da Terminator Terminates
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has threatened to pay California state employees the federal minimum wage, $6.55 an hour ...terminate contracts with about 20,000 temporary state workers, interns and contractors statewide along with putting a temporary ban on almost all overtime.
oh. wait…
The changes would not take place until September.
State Controller John Chiang has stated that he will disregard the governor’s order and continue issuing checks at the full rate.
This is traditional California Kabuki at budget time. *sigh* Yet the gubbmint edjukatud voters keep voting in Cray super-computers and solid gold pencils for 4 year olds “to help them do better in school,” and .... and… and…
The least the Gubbernator coulda done is threaten the salaries of those who are not doing their jobs—but no…
