Honk if You're Horny (or in Favor of Obama)Simon McCormack A sea of honks blanketed the soundscape outside the Obama headquarters in Nob Hill. The horns were meant to show solidarity with the men and women who have helped the Obama campaign get out the vote. Volunteer Linda Tripp has been helping Obama win New Mexico since September. It's the first campaign she's ever worked for. "There's lots of good energy and great people working for a common cause," Tripp says. "We're very hopeful." Tripp says volunteers have gotten people registered, driven folks to the polls and helped them find early voting sites. There are also volunteers working as "comfort captains" who hand out water and snacks to those waiting to cast their ballots. "We're interested in keeping people in line and making sure they vote," Tripp explains. All the work is almost over, and now all Tripp can do is wait. "We'll see how it turns out," she says.

Retail sales at apparel and homewares retailer/cataloguer Next were down 3.9 percent in the first quarter, while its Directory arm saw a growth of 11.8 percent. Thanks to the performance in its ecommerce and mail order division, total Next brand sales were up 1.4 percent in the 13 weeks to 28th April.
At Home Retail Group, the parent company of Argos and Homebase, sales declined 6 percent to £5.49 billion in the last financial year. Benchmark operating profit slumped 61 percent to £98 million and the company confirmed it will not be paying shareholders a final dividend this year. Breaking the figures down further, Argos suffered a 7.7 percent sales decline during the year to £3.87 billion. To develop its multichannel capabilities, Argos has announced it will launch new apps for tablet devices and revamp its ecommerce website in time for Christmas 2012.
Total revenue at cosmetics marketer Avon dipped 2 percent to $2.6 billion in the first quarter of the year, with gross margin down 310 basis points on the same quarter last year. Avon blamed cost pressures, such as the price of commodities and labour, as well as the negative impact from foreign exchange and product mix. New chief executive Sheri McCoy is now leading a restructuring process to reduce costs and improve efficiencies.
Speculation is rife that Julia Reynolds is planning to leave Blacks Leisure Group where she is currently chief executive. The Independent has more on the story.

27. HOUSE OF FRANCISCAN FRIARS, WINCHELSEA Priors, Or Wardens, Of Winchelsea Footnotes
The Grey Friars were established at Winchelsea before 1253, in which year they are mentioned in the will of St. Richard. (fn. 1) Another early reference is in a plea of 1263 concerning land in Pevensey salt-marshes, when it is mentioned that the father of one of the parties, not being able to afford the cost of protecting the land from the sea, leased it at a low rent to 'a certain prior of Winchelsea,' who can only have been the prior of the Grey Friars, on condition of his embanking it. (fn. 2) When the old town of Winchelsea was destroyed by the great storm of 1287 and rebuilt by King Edward the barons stipulated that he should allow no religious establishment to be erected, save only a house of Friars Minors. (fn. 3)
With the exception of a casual reference in 1294, when the abbot of Westminster, as a penalty for harbouring an apostate friar, was condemned to pay 60 marks to be divided between the houses of Winchelsea and Litchfield, (fn. 4) and of numerous bequests of goods and money, the history of the church of St. Francis (fn. 5) of Winchelsea is practically a blank until July, 1538, when the bishop of Dover, who was visiting the friaries to receive their surrender, came here. (fn. 6) He found the Grey Friars very poor; the warden was absent or would probably have given up the house, as indeed he must have done shortly after this.
John Beere, occurs 1510 (fn. 7)
Robert Beddington, occurs 1530 (fn. 8)

It's time for the humble pie. When I previewed 2010 smartphone market in my Year of the Bloodbath piece from January, I analyzed every major phone brand with my best insights as to who would do well and who'd do poorly throughout the year.
The one smartphone maker that I singled out as a vendor that I thought would admittedly gain market share in 2010 was Research In Motion (RIM) and its ubiquitous Blackberry lineup.
I was very sure of that forecast - until RIM last week reported the results for their fiscal 2010 third quarter ended November 27. Since we now have pretty solid information of RIM's annual performance, it's clear I had been wrong in my forecast so please accept my sincere apologies. But first, the results.
RIM reported a solid growth of 14 percent from the previous quarter and a 40 percent growth from this point a year ago. These would be astonishing figures for any company in any industry for a single quarter or year if it weren't for the fact that smartphones grew an estimated 25 percent in just this past quarter alone and about 74 percent annually. Obviously, if you grow slower than the industry average, you are bound to lose market share.
Meanwhile, the Californian gadget maker bragged about passing RIM on the basis of selling 14.1 million iPhones in its fiscal 2010 third quarter - their strongest quarterly iPhone sales to date. As the two companies' quarters do not overlap completely - Apple's current quarter ends in late December while RIM's ended November 27 - what we now have is basically RIM's "next" quarter.
Put simply, RIM with 14.2 million handsets sold edged past Apple which reported 14.2 million iPhone units - just a hundred thousand units difference. It's almost certain Apple will beat its Q3 iPhone shipments during the holiday season. For example, last year Apple grew 17 percent from Q3 to Q4 in unit sales. I wonder if Steve Jobs will mention in the Q4 earnings report that they once more zoomed past RIM. If you ask me, we'll probably see Apple and RIM in a neck-to-neck fight in 2011.
For those interested, RIM is a very profitable company. Their customers are increasingly from abroad and the majority of their sales now come from the consumer market - mostly youth addicted to messaging - rather than from their traditional enterprise and corporate customers.
For the record, I had projected RIM to end 2010 with market share in the range from 22 percent to 25 percent. Instead, they'll likely drop to approximately 16 percent for the full year. Ouch! That's a significant forecasting error no matter how you look at it. Ironically, projections by most of the other big shot analysts seem to be pretty much in line with my own 2010 forecast.
In my defense, I honestly trusted the facts that led me to conclude that RIM would have performed much better than it did. They were still growing at the time at an annual rate of 40 percent.
In addition, RIM has traditionally been one of the most profitable phone vendors in the business. It's known for its strong sales performances. However, that was true for RIM in the past, but not this year, not in the Year of the Bloodbath.
Which brings me to a magic mumber for those watching Apple: 17.2 million iPhones in the fourth quarter. If Apple hits this estimate, they will have sold enough iPhones in 2010 to overtake RIM for the full year and become the second biggest smartphone maker in the world in terms of full year sales.
If Apple doesn't hit that number, they'll stay at the third spot. Oh, and those who want to consider the Scobleizer's claims that Nokia is "doomed" - Nokia is already guaranteed to outsell both Apple and RIM combined for this year. So yeah, I wouldn't be getting the shovels for grave-digging just yet.
Guys, my bad. I'm sorry, I really did believe my earlier forecast. With any forecast from any of us in the professional crystal-gazing industry, we unfortunately get many of them wrong - that's simply the nature of forecasting. The point is to try to more often be accurate than hit the mark and to be less inaccurate than rivals. With that off my chest, it'll be interesting seeing how the smartphone numbers pan out for the full year of the bloodbath.
My January 8 forecast for the 2010 smartphone market included the following market share estimates for key smartphone vendors:
We will be able to revisit those estimates when major smartphone vendors release their full 2010 sales numbers. We will know HTC's 2010 numbers when they report their quarterly earnings later this month. Other vendors will report their holiday quarters during January of next year. And for those wondering about Apple's peak forecast, that we probably won't know until early February 2011. On a more amusing note, Apple fans hoping that the sky is the limit could do well hoping for a great iPhone quarter and a modest industry growth in the holiday quarter.

In singleplayer, I grabbed Trevor's plane and just flew over the base - emergency landed just otuside the hangar and guided it inside, jumped out and grabbed the jet and just held UP until it took off. Damaged a wing in the process but I made it haha
I should point out it wasn't as easy it's been typed out, but it was damn fun! @Sunnyknight get your own car!
@TBlax I've got 7 high end cars with near top speed, acceleration and traction. I wish i could say this, but you can de-cypher this yourself.
Now that's just showing off haha I want to get the worst car possible in the game and then do it up haha, would be hilarious in cop chases/running away from bounties getting revenge. "Quick, to the Manana!"
What's the restriction on multiple vehicles btw? Do you just buy the Tracker+Insurance mods to it and then it's yours?
Yeah. The top end insurance has to be done in case of people blowing up your vehicles. Every car i have has one. I also have the Audi S8 from Transporter 2! Just need to paint it black, lower it, add a nice exhaust system, and BOOOYYYYAAAAKKKAAASSSHHHAAAAA xD
Lol'd @ Manana xD Can imagine saying that too! xD
Edit: Some cars you can't keep, as you need to first buy them. Such a shame seeing as i found 2 ferraris

The 1977 federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act requires all significant changes in the way states regulate mining to be approved by OSM before they take effect.
DEP officials, though, say that because the mitigation bill was added to the state Water Pollution Control Act, and not to the state strip mine law, it does not require OSM approval.
Allen Klein, regional OSM chief in Pittsburgh, said his agency is still mulling over various strategies for addressing the mining "mitigation bill." A team of OSM officials in Charleston, Pittsburgh and Washington are reviewing the matter to determine if OSM believes the bill does require federal approval.
A draft letter to the state inquiring about the matter has also been written, but is also still being reviewed in the OSM Pittsburgh office.
Klein said Friday he doesn't know when OSM will act.
"I've got an awful lot going on," Klein said. "All I can say is it's on the near horizon.
"We are not looking for a loophole to stay out of this," Klein added.
"But I can't tell you today where we will come down on that." To contact staff writer Ken Ward Jr., call 348-1702.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 by 4
Rated 1 out of 5 by Stephanie224 Disappointing
I saw this watch online and immediately fell in love and ordered one. I have never spent that much money on a whim before, especially on something for myself. I put it on my wrist and even loved the way it felt and looked. Unfortunately, I could not get it to work. I called customer service to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong and the representative I spoke with assured me that I had not. I returned the watch and asked that another one be sent to me. I asked the customer service rep to please make a note in my re-order to have someone check to make sure the one I was getting in return worked this time.
I waited anxiously for another three or four weeks and my new one finally arrived. Again I was just so excited to get it because it really is just so beautiful. But, for the second time I was terribly disappointed. I couldn't believe it but the new one didn't work either. I have now returned the second watch and asked for a refund. I'm sure there will not be any problem with my refund however, I don't think it is fair that I have had to pay shipping costs for returning two watches that did not work.
I think perhaps Brooks Brothers should stick to their superb men's clothing.

The watch itself looks very cool. It is not a "dainty" watch very top heavy. The real problem is the back of the watch fell off and will not stay on after less than one month of use. I need to return it.

Fun for the whole family!
Chapter 9
No Return
"So can we do it now?" asked Chelsea, and I could hardly believe my luck. She was just as excited about it as I was!
"Not just yet," I told her. "A man has to rest after cumming before he can do it again. We'll need to wait at least a couple of hours."
She sighed. "Fine," she said in a slightly disappointed tone.
If I thought that was going to be the last of her enthusiasm, I was mistaken. About every twenty minutes for the rest of the morning, Chelsea asked me if I was ready yet. I must have turned her down a dozen times or more. She didn't seem too disappointed about it, though. After about the third or fourth time I finally caught on that she was really doing it just to tease me.
We spent most of the time cuddling. I tried to keep things non-sexual; the last thing I needed was an erection while I was trying to rest from the amazing blowjob she had given me. But I really couldn't help myself, and ended up spending far too much time groping and kissing and licking her all over her body. Chelsea apparently had no need for much of a recharge time, and I ended up giving her two more orgasms before I was ready to finally consummate our developing sexual relationship.
Since I never really did quite cool down from the activities that morning, it took much longer for me to be ready again. Despite Chelsea's insistence, we didn't get around to it until after we had eaten lunch and even taken an early afternoon nap together. The sleep was just what I needed, so as soon as we both awoke, I announced that it was time. She squealed in excitement and threw her arms around me, planting a kiss on my lips.
Since we were already in bed, I just rolled her over onto her back and kissed her all over her body like I had that morning. I knew she really enjoyed that, although this time I moved more quickly than I had before. She hadn't really cooled off from our activities either, and by the time I reached her pussy and started licking her there, she was already wet and loosening up. I slipped a finger inside to start preparing her, but only to her unbroken hymen. I didn't want to go too deep and risk breaking it until I could do it properly in a few minutes.
I soon had her moaning and grabbing the back of my head to push it down further into her crotch. In fact, I waited just a little too long, because it sounded like she was on the verge of another climax. So despite her hands gripping my hair tightly, I lifted my head. This time I started kissing up her body toward her face, which would put me in the right position to enter her. I was anxious to get on with that part, but her breasts were just too enticing for me not to spend at least some time on them, so I licked and kissed and sucked her nipples for probably longer than I really should have.
Eventually I left them and made my way back to Chelsea's beautiful young face, where I kissed her deeply and passionately on the lips. She kissed me back hungrily, and we made out for several minutes until I lifted my head one more time and gazed down into her lovely brown eyes.
"Are you ready, sweetheart?" I asked her. She nodded.
I rolled over until I was positioned above her, my upper body propped up on my forearms beside her chest. She spread her legs wide and placed her hands on my shoulders, still gazing at me with both love and lust. For a moment we just held that gaze, sharing a special moment together. Then I reached down and positioned my cock at the entrance to her hole, rubbing it against her slit and getting used to it there. I pressed slowly downward, the head passing her lips and beginning to enter the hot, moist tunnel. When it reached the barrier, Chelsea tensed up for a second.
"Honey, this part may hurt a little," I told her. "But if you really want to do this, it's the only way. If you want me to stop, I will."
"No, I really want this, Daddy," she said.
"Then you need to relax. It will hurt worse if you're tense. I'll wait here until you're ready. When you want me to go on, just nod your head."
I felt the tension go out of her body. For the longest time I held there in anticipation, waiting for her to either give me the signal to go on, or to chicken out at the last second. Part of me wanted her to put an end to it; I still felt some reservations about this new lifestyle that I was getting myself into. All she had to do was tell me to get off her, and I would have an excuse not to continue down this perverse yet thrilling path. But the rest of me wanted this so much. Ever since my other daughters had seduced me, we had grown closer emotionally. If the depth of our love hadn't changed, then at least the breadth of it had. We now loved each other as more than just father and daughters. I almost felt sorry for all the other fathers who never got to experience the same thing with their own daughters, and I wanted that same relationship with my youngest girl.
Chelsea nodded. I smiled in acknowledgement, then pushed deeper into her. For a moment I was pressed up against her barrier, then suddenly I was through. Chelsea let out a breath, and her face lit up in a smile. "Was that it?" she asked.
"That was it," I told her.
"But that hardly hurt at all!" she exclaimed happily. "It was just like a pin prick. I thought it was supposed to hurt a lot more than that."
"It does for some girls. But I'm glad it didn't hurt so bad for you. Do you want me to continue?"
She nodded again.
I pressed down once more, sinking deeper inside her. Then I pulled back a little and pressed down again. I kept repeating the motion, going deeper with every thrust, until my cock was buried completely inside her. She was unbelievably tight, not surprising considering how small she was.
"Oh god, Daddy!" Chelsea breathed. "That feels so big and so nice!"
I had to agree. Now that I had broken through and she was used to feeling me inside her, I wasted no time. I began thrusting gently but deeply into my little daughter, giving her what we both wanted. It was such an exquisite feeling, I could hardly believe anyone could enjoy anything as much as I was enjoying sex with my daughter right now. But from the smile on her face and the moans escaping from her lips, I could tell that she enjoyed it just as much as I did.
It wasn't just the physical stimulation, though that was certainly pleasing. I also enjoyed the closeness and warmth of her body, the look on her face, even the smell of her sweat.
Then there was the shared love between us, a father and daughter who cared for each other so much that we wanted to make each other happy in ways that most other fathers and daughters couldn't even imagine. And I especially loved the fact that I was the first one to give her this kind of pleasure.
I also loved the idea of how naughty we were being. She was a little girl, so young that until a few days ago I had thought of her as a child. Not to mention the fact that we were family. Most of society would consider me a monster for what I was doing to her, but that just made it all the more thrilling, especially because I knew that in this case, society was wrong. Chelsea wanted this as much as I did.
Finally, I was excited at the knowledge that I was fulfilling my greatest fantasy. No more would I have to sneak around behind anyone's back. All my girls were now available to me, to love the way I wanted. Carrie, Amber, Linda, and now finally Chelsea, were all mine.
Although I really wanted to hold off my climax so that Chelsea and I could experience it together, I couldn't quite manage it. Wishful thinking, really. She had already had three orgasms today, and I had only had one. Plus, she was just so damn beautiful, it was no surprise that I couldn't hold back. No matter how much I tried to contain the rising pleasure in my loins, I knew right away that it was a losing battle.
Chelsea obviously didn't mind, though. In fact, her smile intensified when I erupted inside of her. "I feel it, Daddy!" she exclaimed. As before, my emotions spiked along with the physical sensations, and I fell in love with her all over again in that moment.
At least I didn't go immediately soft after my orgasm. I can't claim to be a superstud that can always keep it up afterward, but in this case I remained hard. Despite my exhaustion, I didn't want to end things without giving Chelsea the chance to experience the same thing, so after a rest of only a few seconds, I continued to thrust into her.
Fortunately, she was near the edge herself, and it only took about a minute more to push her over. I bathed her face in kisses as her body tensed up. It was a special moment for her, and I was proud and honored to be able to share it with her. She deserved only the best. And now my little girl was a woman.
We continued to fool around the rest of the day. We had to tone things down a little because, despite the fact that she had felt only a minimal amount of pain when I took her virginity, she needed a while to recuperate from it. And to tell the truth, I was pretty tired myself. Mostly we just spent the time cuddling naked together, although she did thank me with another blowjob just before bed that night.
Our fun proceeded the next morning when we took a bath together, relaxing in each other's arms as the warm water soothed us. I had mostly recovered by that time, but she still wasn't ready for full penetration, so we just spent all morning groping and fondling and kissing and licking each other until we brought each other to one final orgasm. We agreed to get dressed again just after lunch, because Carrie was planning to return some time that afternoon, and we weren't sure when.
She arrived home a couple of hours later with both Amber and Linda. She had arranged to pick them both up from their friends' houses on the way home, so they all arrived together. That suited me just fine; I could hardly wait to tell them all the good news.
Amber and Chelsea beat me to it. As soon as the girls stepped through the door, Amber strode directly over to Chelsea, who was sitting on my lap on the couch at the time.
"So, did he do it?" asked Amber.
"Yes he did," Chelsea replied. "And it felt sooooooo good!"
Linda held out her hand for a high-five, and Chelsea slapped it with her own.
"What are you talking about?" I asked them.
"Amber and I aren't the only ones who have fantasized about our Daddy," said Linda. "And Chelsea knew exactly what she was getting into when we left her alone with you."
"You mean--"
"Chelsea walked in on Linda and me about a month ago," Amber explained. "She asked what we were doing, and so we sat her down and explained it to her. All of it. Including our favorite fantasy. She admitted that she felt the same way about you as we did."
"What? She never mentioned that during our special vacation," said Carrie.
"That's because we told her to keep her feelings secret, before we realized that Dad was such a pervert. Then just before we left Chelsea and Dad alone, I confessed that Linda and I had already had sex with him, and if she did everything he asked, she would get to have sex with him too. She was very enthusiastic."
"So why didn't you tell me?" I asked.
"Because I thought it would so much more fun this way," Chelsea grinned.
I chuckled. "I fell for it again, didn't I? I must be dumb as a rock."
"Yes you are, but that's what I love most about you," said Carrie, giving me a hug. We both laughed.
"So now that we don't have to sneak around anymore, are you up for some fun with all of us?" asked Amber.
I glanced around at the eager faces of all my girls, and felt my cock stirring in my pants. "How can I say no to an invitation like that?" I asked.
The girls were so enthusiastic that before I realized what was happening, they had dragged me into the master bedroom, where we started stripping off our clothes.
I had just pulled off my shirt when I happened to glance over at Chelsea, surprised to see a look of hesitation on her face. That worried me, and I had a sudden suspicion. Perhaps she was jealous of her big sisters, maybe even of her mother. I had called her my "special girl" after all, so she might be feeling a little possessive.
As it turned out, it really wasn't that serious.
"What's wrong, Chelsea?" I asked her.
"Well, I'm still kind of sore... you know... down there," she explained.
"I'll bet," said Carrie. "Your father's rather well-endowed. For a girl your size, he must have felt enormous, especially for your first time. Give it a couple of days to heal, though. You'll be right back in the action in no time."
"But we can't leave her out of all the fun," Amber insisted. "This should be a whole family activity."
I was touched by her concern for her baby sister. That had always been Amber's way, of course. She loved her family, and felt very protective toward both her younger sisters. Naturally she would be concerned about making sure nobody felt left out.
Linda walked over to Chelsea and put an arm around her shoulders. "I'll take care of you," she said. "I'm sure I can make it nice for you without going near that area."
"You?" asked Chelsea, her eyes going wide. "But... you're... a girl!"
Amber snickered, and Carrie shot her a disapproving glare. "So I take it you didn't tell her about that part?" she asked.
"I guess we sort of left that part out," Amber explained.
Carrie sighed. "Chelsea, look. I wish Ie to explain this properly, but... well... some girls like other girls in the same way they like boys."
"Duh," said Chelsea, rolling her eyes. "I know that, Mom. I'm not stupid."
"Okay, fair enough," her mother replied with a chuckle. "Amber, Linda, and I are all that way. We love each other the way we love your father."
"Oh," said Chelsea in an emotionless tone. I wasn't sure whether that was because she didn't really understand, or if it didn't matter to her one way or the other."
"No one's going to make you do anything you don't want," I added. "Just because your mother and sisters are that way doesn't mean you have to be. If it makes you uncomfortable..."
"Well, I guess if it's with Linda, I don't mind so much."
"Does that go for me too?" asked Amber.
"I guess so," said Chelsea. "But... well..."
"But what?"
"But you're four whole years older than me!"
The rest of us broke out laughing at that. Leave it to a twelve-year-old girl to make four years seem like an enormous gulf between them.
"You realize that I'm more than twenty years older than you," I remarked.
"Yeah, but that's different because you're my daddy."
The logic of a preteen girl. Priceless.
"Tell you what," offered Amber. "You go ahead and let Linda teach you about how girls make love. She's
good at that. I'll bet by the time she's done, you'll be so addicted that you'll have no problem with doing it with a girl who's four years older."
"Or twenty years older," added Carrie with a smirk.
Chelsea stared at her in shock. "You too, Mom?" she asked.
"Amber and Linda don't seem to have a problem with it. Wouldn't you like Mommy to make you feel really good?"
"Okay, that's enough," I said. "Let's not overwhelm the poor girl. Chelsea, like I said, you don't have to do anything you don't want. If you want Linda to take care of you today, that's fine. We'll start with that, then you can decide how much further you want to go."
Chelsea nodded. That was a habit she had, and probably didn't even know about. I had noticed it several times when we had been alone; the nod was an acknowledgment that she wanted to do something but was perhaps just a little shy, as if she didn't want to come right out and say it.
We all finished undressing, then Linda took Chelsea's hand and led her over to one of the chairs, where she sat down and had Chelsea sit in her lap. Linda pulled her little sister in tight and wrapped her arms around her stomach in a loving hug. Chelsea smiled, obviously enjoying this new kind of cuddling with her sister just like she had enjoyed it with her father. When Linda kissed her on the neck, Chelsea even gave a satisfied hum.
Carrie, Amber and I climbed onto the bed. Amber took charge, pushing Carrie down on her back, who wore a surprised expression on her face. I chuckled; I must have looked the same way when I had discovered myself tied up a couple of weeks ago. Amber took after her mother; when she wanted something, she had a way of getting it. My wife glanced at me and I just shrugged with a grin on my face, as if to tell her that she might as well relax and enjoy it.
A moment later, Amber had her face buried in her mother's pussy, shocking Carrie even more. I glanced over at Chelsea to see if that sight bothered her, but she seemed merely amused, probably at the look on her mother's face. Or perhaps I mistook that expression on Chelsea's. Maybe she was just too aroused to be bothered by the sight in front of her. Linda had both her hands on her little sister's tits, rubbing them firmly and squeezing the nipples between her fingers.
That was a good idea, I decided. As Amber ate out her mother, I reached out and fondled one of Carrie's tits. The look of shock on her face had been replaced by a smile of pleasure. I responded to that smile by planting a kiss on it. Carrie grabbed me and held me there against her lips in a manner reminiscent of Chelsea's "crocodile kiss" that she had recently invented.
With the dual stimulation of Amber on her pussy and me working her mouth and lips, it wasn't long before Carrie's body was wracked by a massive orgasm. Linda and Chelsea stopped their playing long enough to glance over at their mother crying out in a loud, long wail as her climax overcame her.
"My turn," said Amber. "After you've had a minute to rest, of course," she said, grinning at her mother, who lay there panting in exhaustion. While Carrie recuperated from her orgasm, Amber crawled up the bed, pushed me down on my back, and climbed on top of me. As she hugged me tightly, she opened her mouth and thrust her tongue into mine. We kissed like that for the longest time, until Carrie announced that she was ready.
Amber immediately rolled off of me and onto her back, spreading her legs. "Mom, Dad, I want you both to lick me," she said.
"Yes sir," I said, then gave her a teasing salute.
Carrie scooted down until she was in position to fulfill her daughter's request. I watched for a few seconds as she licked Amber between the legs. It was actually kind of amusing, ironic really, that she refused to give me a blowjob but had no problem eating pussy. I didn't mind, especially now that I had three other girls willing to do it for me, including one who was basically addicted to it.
A movement across the room caught my eye, and I looked over at the girls sitting in the chair. Chelsea had climbed off her big sister's lap so that she could turn around and sit down facing her. As I watched, Linda reached behind Chelsea to support her, then lowered her head to Chelsea's chest. Unfortunately I couldn't see what was going on, but I had a pretty good idea.
I lowered my head and joined Carrie in the delicious feast. We worked together to orally stimulate our daughter, giving her a double dose of pleasure from both of her parents. Carrie ran her tongue up and down one side of the slit, while I did the same on the other side. Then we moved things around a little, and while Carrie teased her clit, I drove my tongue right inside Amber's pussy.
There was barely enough room for both our faces, and we did overlap a little. Admittedly, that was partly on purpose. I went out of my way to make contact both with Amber's body and my wife's tongue at the same time. I just loved the feel of both on my own tongue, especially together.
"I want to try that," I heard Chelsea say, though I was too absorbed in the excitement of tonguing my daughter to pay much attention.
"I thought you were still sore down there," said Linda.
"No, I mean, I want to try licking a girl like that," Chelsea answered.
"You can do me if you want," Linda exclaimed, a touch of eagerness in her voice.
That conversation was just way too interesting, so I lifted my head again and watched as Chelsea climbed off of Linda's lap and kneeled down in front of her. Linda scooted her hips forward in the chair and spread her legs wide to give her little sister plenty of room to work. Chelsea moved her head in to Linda's crotch, and from the sudden look of pleasure on Linda's face, I knew that Chelsea had started.
"Oooh!" Linda squealed. "That feels great! A little higher. Yes. Right there. Oh yeah!"
It looked like Chelsea's reluctance had disappeared entirely; she seemed to have no problem with all this girl-girl stuff that she had hesitated about before, although I wasn't sure whether she would stick with just Linda or if she would be willing to do it with a girl "a whole four years older."
Since there wasn't much to see with Chelsea's head blocking the way, I returned my attention to my oldest daughter. She was moaning in intense excitement now, her body writhing around on the bed from the stimulation of her mother's tongue. Carrie apparently was doing something right, despite her limited experience. As far as I knew, this was only the second time she had ever done this.
I had a lot more experience, of course, which I applied now. Between Carrie and me, soon we had Amber shrieking in ecstasy as her body exploded into orgasm.
Across the room, I could hear Linda's moans rising, and I knew she was fast approaching that same stage. I would have liked to see that, but Amber had not yet come down from her climax, and I wanted to keep pleasuring her all the way through. So Carrie and I both continued until Amber's wails dropped off and her body collapsed in exhaustion.
Only then did I lift my head and watch as Chelsea brought her big sister to a similar orgasm. Linda squealed in excitement as Chelsea tongued her, and although I couldn't see what was going on between her legs, at least I was treated to the sight of Linda's beautiful face screwed up into an expression of intense and overwhelming pleasure.
After it was all over, she slumped back in her chair, and Chelsea stood up, turning and grinning at us as she licked her lips. Yes, it was clear that she was every bit as bisexual as her big sisters.
"Okay, you've all had your chances to get off," I said. "Now it's my turn. Who wants to help me?"
Linda immediately hopped up off the chair, jumped on the bed, and dove for my cock, wrapping her lips around it and sucking hard.
"No fair!" Chelsea whined. "I want some too!" She grabbed her sister and yanked her off me. Both girls fell onto the floor, and we all had a good laugh.
"I have a great idea," said Carrie. She climbed out of bed, then took my hands and pulled me up. Slipping around behind me, she pressed her chest against my back, then reached around and grabbed my cock with one of her hands.
"Girls, come kneel down in front of your father," she told our daughters. They happily obeyed, dropping to their knees and grinning up at me.
Carrie began stroking me. The three girls in front of me all leaned in and ran their tongues simultaneously up and down my cock. I groaned in excitement and pleasure. This was the most amazing feeling in the world, having my wife jerk me off while all three of my daughters licked me. One hand and three tongues on the most sensitive part of my body, all at the same time.
Linda insisted that she get a chance to suck me, and I was too far gone to argue with her. Amber and Chelsea wanted their own share of me, of course, so we compromised by giving each girl one minute with my cock in her mouth. Carrie continued to pump me with her hand as the girls took turns sucking me off, until I was ready to climax.
All three of them leaned in and opened their mouths in preparation for my orgasm. When it hit, my legs nearly gave out; it was fortunate that Carrie was right behind me to keep me from collapsing. My cum shot out into the open mouths, and Carrie took care to move the aim around a little so that each girl got plenty. Linda, who was in the middle, got an extra dose, of course. Amber and Linda weren't quite happy with that arrangement, so they jockeyed for position until I was completely spent. Then the girls licked each other's faces and tongues to make sure they got every last drop.
Chelsea maneuvered me over to the bed, where she released me and let me fall down onto it. I sighed, tired and relaxed and happier than I had ever been in my life.
"I love you all," I breathed.
All four of my girls climbed onto the bed and lay down with me.
"And we love you too, Daddycums," said Carrie.
Now that we had crossed the point of no return, we gave up all of our inhibitions and let ourselves enjoy our new relationship as a family. Sex with all four of my girls is wonderful; I enjoy private time with each, as well as orgy time with the whole family. Chelsea has decided that she enjoys fooling around with girls after all, but only if she already has an emotional connection with them. Her favorite female partner is Linda, but she likes getting together with Amber too, despite Amber being "four whole years older." Even Carrie has made love to her several times. Carrie is currently working on a plan to get her sister Molly involved with us, but I don't know if I could handle any more girls in my harem. Since Linda had already announced online that Iwuvmydaddy and Iwuvmydaddy2 are the daughters of Daddycums, we have fun describing our escapades in the forums and chatrooms. The people there have no idea that we're not just role-playing, which my daughters think is absolutely hilarious. We even let Chelsea join in as Iwuvmydaddy3, although on the condition that she only be allowed to visit those sites with one of her parents or older sisters present. Not all rules are meant to be broken, after all.
Amber and Linda have stopped sending naughty photos and videos of themselves to their friends, although I decided as a compromise that they didn't have to stop
them. We have a secret family photo album on their computer, now hidden behind a strong password. And they're still collecting more from their friends. The difference is that they don't try to hide it. In fact, they love showing them off to me, because they know it gets me horny.
I spend a lot of one-on-one time with my girls, of course. We've even worked out an arrangement so that no one has to feel left out. Each of my daughters gets me to herself one night a week. Saturday is reserved for family activities, which usually turns out to be some form of orgy, although with four girls to satisfy I'm sometimes not up to it. Carrie gets to claim me for herself on the other nights. She's pretty patient and knows I can't go seven days a week without a break, but she insists we do it at least once a week. She claims that's plenty for her, especially since on the nights I spend with one of my daughters she often visits the other two.
Over time I've noticed differences in the sexual appetites of my girls. They each enjoy different ways of making love, and I enjoy satisfying them the way they want.
Carrie confessed to me that she never wanted to role-play before because most of her fantasies involve incest in one form or another. But we've passed that hurdle, and now she wants to explore all of her fantasies, and mine as well. Now that the dam has burst, it's like she wants to make up for lost time, so we almost always include role-playing in our lovemaking.
Chelsea is still my baby girl, so I'm extra gentle with her. When it's her time alone with Daddy, I try to make it tender and sweet. I think that to her, sex is just another form of cuddling. It's a way of coming together physically in order to bring us closer emotionally. It's so relaxing that on more than one occasion, she drifted off to sleep in my arms before we ever got to the actual sex, and I just ended up holding her all night, more as a father than as a lover.
Linda still hasn't grown out of her fondness for oral sex. She loves both giving and receiving, and more often than not we end up doing both at the same time. I've had far more orgasms in her mouth than in her pussy, and it doesn't look like the balance will be restored any time soon.
Amber is the adventurous one, of course, always looking for new ways to spice things up. Sometimes we'll engage in a little light bondage. Sometimes we'll play with food. Sometimes we'll wrestle, or spank, or tickle each other mercilessly. With her, foreplay is playful and energetic, often involving creative games and new ways to stimulate one another. Half the time we never get around to actual sex because we end up having plenty of orgasms just from the erotic games.
Speaking of games, she was the one who invented our family's new favorite. One night she had us all gather in her room, where she turned on the computer and browsed to one of the websites where I've uploaded my stories. We chose one of them, then the girls took turns acting it out with me while one of the others read it aloud. They timed it so that each girl got five minutes each, then the next would pick up where she left off. It was an instant success, and has become our favorite family pastime.
Each of the girls has their favorite stories, of course. Carrie likes brother-sister stories, probably due to her fond memories of fooling around with Molly and Seth as youngsters. Amber likes ones with more than two partners, so we have to modify the game a little to accomodate a third (or sometimes fourth or fifth) whenever she chooses the story. Not surprisingly, Linda is always on the lookout for stories involving oral sex. Chelsea loves ones where the woman is older; she finds it hilarious to pretend to be an experienced woman while her daddy plays the part of a young and often virginal boy. I even sometimes take my turn as the narrator while my wife and daughters act out lesbian scenes.
One night after one of these story sessions as my four lovers lay in my arms, Linda suddenly said, "I have a great idea, Daddycums!"
"I like the sound of that," I grinned.
"I think you should write a true story for once. Tell about our adventures, and upload it to our favorite websites."
"What? I'd have the cops knocking on the door five minutes after I uploaded it."
"Not if you claim it's fictional," Amber pointed out.
"Oh, you're in favor of this too?" I asked.
She nodded enthusiastically, and both Carrie and Chelsea agreed.
"So I should tell what happened to us, but use different characters so that nobody suspects?" I asked. The idea had a lot of potential, I must admit. As long as I never hinted that it was autobiographical, I really couldn't see any reason not to do it.
"I think you should name the main character Daddycums," suggested Chelsea.
"I'm not going to do that!" I exclaimed. "Everyone will know it's true!"
"No, they'll just think it's role-playing," Amber replied. "You've always told us that there are no real people on the Internet, only characters. Everyone pretends to be somebody else."
"Well, yes, that's true, but..."
"And even if they do believe, in the places where you upload your stories, half the people there have already confessed to having incestuous relationships. If you were in any danger, they would all have been arrested a long time ago."
"Amber has a point," added Carrie. "Nobody will ever track Daddycums back to you. So why not?"
I glanced from face to enthusiastic face. Chelsea even puckered her lips and batted her eyelashes at me, and we all broke down laughing.
"Okay, fine. I'll write the story," I said. "But if anyone online asks, I'll deny it ever happened."
The girls all cried out with glee, then tackled me in affectionate hugs.
So that's how I ended up in an incestuous relationship with all three of my daughters, and why I wrote this story. It's all a lie, of course, or perhaps it would be more accurate to call it fiction. I never slept with my daughters. In fact, I don't have three daughters. I'm not even married. Every word in this story comes straight out of my imagination, not from anything I experienced personally.
The question is, do you believe me?

How meta. ^.^
Sex is just cuddling with orgasms instead of clothes! Heh, not always true, but true enough that I'm adopting the saying.
I always like how your stories never treat sex like a dirty thing; that's unfortunately rare even in places like this.

I dunno. But either way, I'm still going to jerk off.

Is it fiction or not? That's what people keep asking. Let me reply with another question: Does it matter?
Consider it whichever you prefer it to be. Perhaps it is both, depending on who you ask. Much like the Holy Bible, depending on who you ask you'll get a different answer. People decide what is true based many times on what they want to be true. Let that be the case with this story as well.
True of not, it's an entertaining story... and isn't that the point?

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The three laws of Robotics:
1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm 2) A robot must obey orders givein to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. With these three, simple directives, Isaac Asimov changed our perception of robots forever when he formulated the laws governing their behavior. In I, Robot, Asimov chronicles the development of the robot through a series of interlinked stories: from its primitive origins in the present to its ultimate perfection in the not-so-distant future--a future in which humanity itself may be rendered obsolete. Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-read robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Of robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world--all told with the dramatic blend of science fact and science fiction that has become Asmiov's trademark.

Attica Prison riot
Coordinates: 42°50′59″N 78°16′18″W / 42.84972°N 78.27167°W The Attica Prison riot occurred at the Attica Correctional Facility in Attica, New York, United States in 1971. This riot is one of the more famous and important riots during the Prisoner Rights Movement. The riot was based upon prisoners' demands for political rights and better living conditions. On September 9, 1971, responding to the death of prisoner George Jackson, a black radical activist prisoner who was shot dead after being involved in the murder of three guards and two prisoners while trying to escape from California's San Quentin Prison on August 21, about 1,000 of the Attica prison's approximately 2,200 inmates rebelled and seized control of the prison, taking 42 staff hostage.
During the following four days of negotiations, authorities agreed to 28 of the prisoners' demands, but would not agree to demands for complete amnesty from criminal prosecution for the prison takeover or for the removal of Attica's superintendent. By the order of Governor Nelson Rockefeller, state police took back control of the prison. When the uprising was over, at least 43 people were dead, including ten correctional officers and civilian employees, and 33 inmates.
New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, who refused to visit the prisoners during the rebellion, stated that the prisoners "carried out the cold-blood killings they had threatened from the outset".[1] On the other hand New York Times writer Fred Ferritti said the rebellion concluded in "mass deaths that four days of taut negotiations had sought to avert".[2] There are many different perspectives when considering the prison rebellion; the outside world either characterized the inmates as heroes or villains.
In a facility designed to hold 1,200 inmates and actually housing 2,225,[3] they had been illegally denied rights and conditions to which they were entitled, illustrated by such practices as being allowed only one shower per week and one roll of toilet paper per person per month.[4] The mail was regularly intercepted and read by prison guards, and often destroyed.[5] The officers' goal was to break prisoners' spirits and they accomplished this by utilizing punishments such as sweatboxes, iron yokes and solitary.[6] A Walpole prisoner revealed the poor food quality explaining he hadn't "eaten in the mess hall for four years… [prisoners] go into the serving line in the morning and 100 or 200 cockroaches would go running away from the trays".[7]
George Jackson is an admired figure that spoke out against these mistreatments he was admired by fellow prisoners for his fight and dedication. Jackson was an inmate in San Quentin and wrote letters from the prison, that were later published. Jackson was not weak and defenseless against their cruelty, he declared "I'm going to charge them like a maddened, wounded, rogue male elephant, ears flared, trunk raised, trumpet blaring…".[8] Jackson would continue to speak out against the injustices inmates encountered "until it proves my making or my end".[9] And on August 21, 1971, Jackson was shot in the back of the head at the prison as he allegedly was attempting to escape. There were inconsistencies with the reports of his death.[citation needed] The following morning at Attica, inmate Frank Smith explained that nobody picked up their silverware.[10] Following Jackson's murder, there was a number of prison riots in facilities like San Jose Civic Center Jail and Suffolk County Jail in Boston. However, according to Zinn, the "most direct effect of the George Jackson murder was the rebellion at Attica prison".[11]
The riot[edit]
At approximately 8:20 a.m. on Thursday, September 9, 1971, 5 Company lined up for roll-call. Hearing rumors that one of their companions was to remain in his cell and that he was to be tortured[citation needed] after being isolated for an incident involving an assault on a prison officer, a small group of 5 Company inmates protested that they too would be locked up and began walking back towards their cells. The remainder of 5 Company continued towards breakfast. As the protesting group walked past the isolated inmate, they were able to free him from his cell. They then rejoined the rest of 5 Company and proceeded on their way to breakfast. A short time later, when the command staff discovered what had occurred, they changed the usual scheduling of the prisoners. Instead of going to the yard after breakfast as they usually did, the prisoners realized they were being led back to their cells. Complaints led to anger when the correctional officer tried to calm the mob of prisoners. He was assaulted and the riot began.[12]
The inmates quickly gained control of sections, D-yard, two tunnels and the central control room, referred to as "Times Square". Inmates took 42 officers and civilians hostage and aired a list of grievances, demanding their conditions be met before their surrender.[13]
Throughout the negotiations, there was leadership and organization among the prisoners. The Muslim inmates protected the hostages,[10] Frank "Big Black" Smith was appointed as head of security, and he also kept the hostages and the observers safe.[14] Additionally, an ardent orator, Elliot L.D. Barkley, was a strong force during the negotiations, speaking with great articulation to the inmates, the camera crews, and outsiders at home.[10] Barkley was killed during the recapturing of the prison. Assemblyman Arthur Eve testified that Barkley was alive after the prisoners had surrendered and the state regained control; another inmate stated that the officers searched him out, yelling for Barkley, and shot him in the back.[10][15]
We are Men! We are not beasts and do not intend to be beaten or driven as such. The entire prison populace has set forth to change forever the ruthless brutalization and disregard for the lives of the prisoners here and throughout the United States. What has happened here is but the sound before the fury of those are oppressed.
As speakers like Barkley raised morale, the rebels' negotiating team of prisoners proposed their requests to the commissioner. The Attica Liberation Faction Manifesto Of Demands is a compilation of complaints written by the Attica prisoners, which speak directly to the "sincere people of society". It includes 27 demands, such as better medical treatment, fair visitation rights, and an end to physical brutality. The prisoners also requested better sanitations, improved food quality, and one set of rules for the state among numerous other demands. The manifesto specifically assigns the power to negotiate to five inmates: Donald Noble, Peter Butler, Frank Lott, Carl Jones-El, and Herbert Blyden X. Additionally, the document specifically lists out "vile and vicious slave masters" who oppressed the prisoners such as the New York governor, New York Corrections and even the United States Courts.[16]
The prisoners continued to unsuccessfully negotiate with Correctional Services Commissioner Russell G. Oswald and then later with a team of observers that included Tom Wicker, an editor of the New York Times, James Ingram of the Michigan Chronicle, state senator John Dunne, state representative Arthur Eve, civil rights lawyer William Kunstler, Minister Louis Farrakhan, National Representative of the Nation of Islam and others.
The situation may have been further complicated by Governor Rockefeller's refusal to come to the scene of the riot and meet with the inmates,[13] although some later evaluations of the incident would postulate that his absence from the scene actually prevented the situation from deteriorating.[17] Negotiations broke down and Oswald told the inmates that he was unable to negotiate with them anymore and ordered that they must give themselves up. Oswald later called Governor Rockefeller and again begged him to come to the prison to calm the riot. After the governor's refusal, Oswald stated that he would order the State Police to retake the facility by force. Rockefeller agreed with Oswald's decision. This agreement would be later criticized by a commission created by Rockefeller to study the riot and the aftermath.[18]
Retaking of the prison and retaliation[edit]
The mood among the inmates had turned ugly. It appeared as though Gov. Rockefeller remained opposed to the inmates' demands and they had become restless. Defensive trenches had been dug, metal gates had been electrified, crude battlements were fashioned out of metal tables and dirt, gasoline was put in position to be lit in the event of conflict and the "Times Square" prison command center was fortified. The inmates brought four corrections officers to the top of the command center and threatened to slit their throats. Reporters in helicopters circling the prison reported that the hostages in D yard were also being prepared for killing. Gov. Rockefeller had ordered that the prison be retaken that day if negotiations failed. Situation commander Oswald, seeing the danger to the hostages, ordered that the prison be retaken by force. Of the decision, he later said "On a much smaller scale, I think I have some feeling now of how Truman must have felt when he decided to drop the A-bomb."[19]
At 9:46 a.m. on Monday, September 13, 1971, tear gas was dropped into the yard and New York State Police troopers and soldiers from the New York National Guard[20] opened fire non-stop for two minutes into the smoke. Among the weapons used by the troopers were shotguns, which led to the wounding and killing of hostages and inmates who were not resisting.[21] Former prison officers were allowed to participate, a decision later called "inexcusable" by the commission established by Rockefeller to study the riot and the aftermath.[18] By the time the facility was retaken, nine hostages and 29 inmates had been killed. A tenth hostage died on October 9, 1972, of gunshot wounds received during the assault.[22]
The final death toll from the riot also included the officer fatally injured at the start of the riot and four inmates who were subject to vigilante killings. Nine hostages died from gunfire by state troopers and soldiers.[3][13] The New York State Special Commission on Attica wrote, "With the exception of Indian massacres in the late 19th century, the State Police assault which ended the four-day prison uprising was the bloodiest one-day encounter between Americans since the Civil War."[3]

Media reports claimed that inmate hostage-takers slit the throats of many of their hostages, reports that contradicted official medical evidence.[citation needed] Newspaper headlines made statements such as "I Saw Slit Throats", implying that prisoners had cut the hostages' throats when the armed raid occurred.[citation needed] These reports set the stage for reprisals by troopers and prison officers. Inmates were made to strip and crawl through the mud and then some were made to run naked between lines of enraged officers, who beat the inmates.[citation needed] Several days after the riot's end, prison doctors reported evidence of more beatings.[18][23][24] The Special Commission found that state officials failed to quickly refute those rumors and false reports.[18]
Retaliation by the Weathermen[edit]
On 7:30 p.m. September 17, the Weathermen launched a retaliatory attack on the New York Department of Corrections, exploding a bomb near Oswald's office. "The communique accompanying the attack called the prison system 'how a society run by white racists maintains its control,' with white supremacy being the 'main question white people have to face'"[25] and saying that the Attica riots are blamed on Gov. Nelson Rockefeller.
Lawsuits and payments[edit]
Within four years of the riot, 62 inmates had been charged in 42 indictments with 1,289 separate counts. One state trooper was indicted for reckless endangerment.[26]
Inmates and families of inmates killed in the prison retaking sued the State of New York for civil rights violations by law enforcement officers during and after the retaking of Attica. After years in the courts, in 2000, the State of New York agreed to pay $8 million ($12 million minus legal fees) to settle the case.[27] The State of New York also recognized the families of the slain prison employees in 2005 with a $12 million financial settlement.[28]
The Forgotten Victims of Attica have also asked the State of New York to release state records of the uprising to the public. In 2013, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said he would seek the release of the entire 570-page Meyer Report, the state's review of the uprising. The report was prepared by former State Supreme Court justice Bernard S. Meyer and submitted in 1975. One volume was made public, but a State Supreme Court justice ordered in 1981 that the other two be sealed permanently.[29]
Racial issues[edit]
At the time of the riots, black militancy was at its peak and many black prisoners had transferred to Attica causing prison population to increase from its designed 1200 prisoners to 2243.[30] 54% of these were Black American, 9% Puerto Rican and 37% white;[31] however, all of the 383 correctional officers were white. Some corrections officers were openly racist and assaulted the prisoners with their batons, which they dubbed "nigger sticks."[30] Additionally, George Jackson, a member of the Black Panther Party, had died at the hands of white prison officers two weeks before the riot in the San Quentin State Prison in California.
Al Jundi v. Mancusi[edit]
It was believed that a group of Muslims were responsible for the uprising and the harm of the hostages, when in fact the group of Muslims was protecting the hostages from other inmates. The leader of the Muslims even told the other inmates that if any of the inmates tried to hurt the hostages, that they would "kill [the inmates involved] or die protecting the hostages." The court in Al Jundi v. Mancusi, 113 F.Supp.2d 441 wrote:[32][33]
This section contains information of unclear or questionable importance or relevance to the article's subject matter. Please help improve this article by clarifying or removing superfluous information. (March 2012) |
A number of former Muslim inmates testified that they had been singled out for "special" brutal treatment by troopers and prison officers because they had played an active role in protecting the hostages during the four days before the retaking. Because a number of militant inmates were prepared to do harm to the hostages, Frank "Big Black" Smith, in conjunction with the Muslim leadership, implemented a plan to secure the safety of the hostages during negotiations.[34]
This view was corroborated by Michael Smith, age 51, a former corrections officer who was a hostage up to September 13, 1971. He testified that he was taken hostage on September 9, 1971 by a group of inmates who were out of control. He described them as a "wave of human emotion". He was in charge of the sheet metal shop and developed a good rapport with the inmates who worked under him and they protected him from the militant group. But eventually he came under the control of the take-over group and found himself in the center of D-Yard with other hostages. One of the inmates, Don Noble, whom he had befriended and who worked in the sheet metal shop, and Carl Reighn (originally referred to in previous interviews as Carl Rain) protected him on September 9, 1971, trying desperately to come up with ways to hide or save him and protect him; and would later save his life on September 13, 1971. Mr. Carl Reighn was there from the moment they broke the metal shop doors down.
Smith was interviewed by the media while being held hostage along with Corrections Officer Cunningham. He conveyed that the inmates' demands were for improved conditions and reported that he was not being harmed. He was blindfolded most of the time. Upon receiving news of Corrections Officer Quinn's death, the negotiation process broke down.
On Sunday night, September 12, 1971, the feeling was "somber".[34] He got a pen and wrote a goodbye note to his wife and family on dollar bills which were in his wallet. He testified that the hostages sat in a circle and leaned up against each other for support.
On Monday, September 13, 1971, he was selected along with a few other hostages to be taken up on the A-Yard catwalk and a hostage execution was arranged. He was taken to the top of the catwalk by three inmates and sat on a chair blindfolded. Inmate Don Noble was on his left and held a knife to his throat. As the Army helicopter hovered over them and dropped tear gas, the shooting started and the inmate on his right was shot twice and blown over the railing of the catwalk. Don Noble pulled him to his left and the inmate immediately behind him received a fatal volley of gunfire. Noble was shot and Smith was shot four times in the stomach and once in the arm. The chair on which he had been sitting disintegrated from gunshots. Smith said in court, "I don't know how long the shooting went on. You could hear people crying, people dying and people screaming." He never lost consciousness as he lay on the catwalk until a trooper stood over him pointing a shotgun at his head. A prison officer saw what was going on and yelled to the trooper, "He is one of us", who then focused his attention on Noble, at which point Smith told the trooper, "He saved my life".
He was eventually taken by National Guard medics to St. Jerome's Hospital in Batavia for an extensive period of treatment involving multiple surgeries. He was eventually released from service as a corrections officer because of his physical inability to perform his duties. He commented on the inaccuracy of the McKay Report which claimed that he had been merely knocked unconscious—no mention of his extensive gunshot wounds nor how they were obtained. He openly stated that his life was saved while he was held hostage because of the dedicated efforts of the Muslim group at Attica. "In fact, I can recall hearing one of the Muslim leaders instructing one of their men that if anyone tries to break through their Muslim perimeter to kill them or die protecting the hostages."
In popular culture[edit]
In film[edit]
Direct coverage of the Attica Prison riot:
- ScreenSlate describes Cindy Firestone's documentary, titled Attica (1974), as follows:[35]
Firestone's 1974 film, restored in 2007, culls together primary footage from surveillance and news cameras along with prisoner, family and guard interviews to create an account of the massacre that has been described as temperate, but undeniably damning with respect to the state's actions. As The New Yorker's 1974 review describes it, "Cinda Firestone's quiet picture uses horrifying film footage: shots taken through state troopers' telescopic rifle lenses; musings by inmates which sometimes sputter into anger against a world that finds descriptions of Attica incredible; riot quellers insensibly proud of their skill with weapons, showing off their prowess before the commission of inquiry. … If Attica disturbed our slumber for a mere month or two, one of the qualities of this trumpet call of a film is that it makes the disturbance enduring."
- At least three TV movies of the riot have been produced: Attica (1980), with George Grizzard; Morgan Freeman's, Against The Wall (1994), with Samuel L. Jackson, Kyle MacLachlan, and Clarence Williams III; and The Killing Yard (2001), by Euzhan Palcy with Alan Alda.
Several other films reference the uprising:
- In the film Dog Day Afternoon, (1975), Al Pacino's character, Sonny, who is holding eight bank employees hostage, starts the chant, "Attica! Attica!", at the massed police outside, evoking the excessive police force used in response to the Attica riot. The chant "Attica! Attica!" has since been parodied or used for comedic effect in everything from children's cartoons to crime procedurals.[citation needed]
- In the film Saturday Night Fever (1977), John Travolta's character, Tony Manero, wakes up after a night out at the disco and, while looking at himself in the mirror and seeing a poster of Al Pacino in Serpico(1973), debates whether he resembles Al Pacino. Becoming enamored of the idea, he yells "Al Pacino!" and then opens his bedroom door, walks into the hallway, and chants "Attica! Attica!", wearing only his underwear while his grandmother covers her eyes with her apron. This scene's reference to Pacino and his two characters (Serpico and Sonny) invites the audience to contrast them to Travolta and his character Tony, setting them up both as ideal models and as foils for Tony.[citation needed]
In music[edit]
The incident is directly referenced in several songs.
- The song "Rubber Bullets" by English band 10cc.
- John Lennon's "Attica State" on his Some Time In New York City album
- Tom Paxton's "The Hostage", which was included by Judy Collins on her 1973 album True Stories and Other Dreams (1973)
- In the Gil Scott-Heron song, "We Beg Your Pardon", Scott-Heron is critical of Governor Rockefeller's handling of the riot, stating that "brother Richard X of Buffalo New York faces 1365 years... behind bars for participating in Attica, and Rockefeller faces being the Vice President of this country".
- Paul Simon's "Virgil", on his album Songs from The Capeman (1997)
- The Attica riot also inspired the Charles Mingus composition "Remember Rockefeller at Attica", and jazz saxophonist Archie Shepp's composition "Attica Blues" (1972) from his album of the same name. Rapper Nas mentioned Attica in his collaboration song with Lauryn Hill, "If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)". Nas raps "I'd open every cell in Attica, send 'em to Africa".
- In the song "C.I.A. (Criminals in Action)", by KRS-One, Zack De La Rocha, and The Last Emperor: "I flip the shit like Pacino and it's your Dog Day Afternoon / Attica, Attica, drug agents you bring your static-a."
In poetry[edit]
- Boxer Muhammad Ali recited a poem in Ireland, imagining what Attica's prisoners would have said before their death.[when?][citation needed]
- In 1972, avant-garde composer and pianist Frederic Rzewski wrote two pieces connected to the Attica riot, both for percussion ensemble and speaker. "Coming Together" sets text by Sam Melville, a leader of the uprising and one of the people who lost their lives as a result of it, from a letter he wrote in 1971. The second and shorter piece, "Attica", is set to the statement made by inmate Richard X. Clark when he was released from the prison: "Attica is in front of me now." The two pieces was recorded in 1973 for the Opus One label by the Blackearth Percussion Group, with Steven ben Israel of the Living Theater as the speaker.[36]
- The poem Hadda Be Playing on the Jukebox by American poet Allen Ginsberg makes a reference to the Attica prison riot. This poem was also subsequently performed as a song by political rock band Rage Against The Machine.
In television[edit]
- In the episode "A Date with the Booty Warrior" of the popular animated series The Boondocks, the episode's titular character takes Tom hostage with a shank, inciting a prison riot. After the convicts had taken the guards hostage, they were deciding what to do next. The other convicts were disgruntled to learn that the Booty Warrior's only demands were "to get some booty". One of the other convicts (voiced by Clifton Powell) remarked "I thought this was supposed to be some Attica-type shit!".
- In the 25th episode of the 2003 TV series, TMNT, titled "The Search for Splinter: Part 1", Casey Jones says the phrase "Attica, Attica" while distracting the guards of TCRI; meanwhile April disables the building's alarms.
- In the season 1 finale of the HBO series Oz, Attica is referenced by unit manager Tim McManus as his hometown and the riot as his original impetus for his wanting to set up Emerald City.
- In the episode "Charlie Goes America All Over Everybody's Ass" of the FX series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, in a form of protesting the bar's "No rules" stance, Charlie scares bystanders away from Dee's street performance by swinging a broom and screaming, "Attica! Attica, man!" repeatedly.
- In the episode "Missing Identity" of SpongeBob SquarePants, SpongeBob imagines someone robbing a bank wearing his name tag, and when the camera zooms in on the name tag, the robber begins screaming "Attica!". This may be more of a reference to the movie Dog Day Afternoon, but it is an Attica reference nonetheless.
- During the January 26th, 1998 episode of WCW Monday Nitro, pro wrestler Kevin Nash is "arrested" after using his banned jackknife maneuver. As he is being handcuffed and being led away by security, he yells "Attica!"
