Star: Heads must rule, not hearts
MCA delegates will face a tough choice on Oct 10. President Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat has made it clear – it is either him or Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.
The stakes are even higher than a presidential election where it is not uncommon for both victor and loser to patch up and pledge to work together in the interest of the party. Whatever the outcome, the party must brace itself for a major adjustment and possibly a prolonged crisis.
There has been an interesting twist of events when the party's central committee (CC) reversed the decision of the disciplinary committee and the presidential council to sack the party stalwart who was caught having sex with an unknown woman in a DVD.
The CC has chosen to suspend him for four years with immediate effect.
Reactions to the surprise decision have been mixed. Some political observers opined that it was a smart tactical move to neutralise the middle ground that might be sympathetic to the sacked deputy president.
Suspension is more common and acceptable to the party neutrals. A few senior Barisan Nasional leaders have been suspended in the past for committing various offences.
A number of observers argued that the suspension was not a reprieve for Dr Chua but to correct the repercussions against the president over his sacking. A suspension will be able to assuage accusations that Ong had wanted to remove a rival.
Dr Chua's supporters argued that the suspension was as good as sacking him. At 62, it might not be easy for him to make a political comeback after four years. Dr Chua would have preferred to use the EGM to overturn the decision to sack him.
"Are they trying to say the CC is more supreme than the EGM?" he asked.
Dr Chua's motive was not just to "die an MCA member" but to be given a shot at the leadership or to bring the president down along with him.
Ong had pledged to step down if Dr Chua's dismissal was overturned at the EGM.
Ambition derailed
Dr Chua was bitter about the sex video which had curtailed his unstoppable desire to ascend to the top. If not for Datuk Seri Chua Jui Meng, he would have challenged Ong for the top post. The former's decision to challenge Ong had widened the rift between the two Chuas.
I mentioned in my earlier article that Dr Chua's sex scandal was tragic. Like other top politicians, it is not wrong to have ambition. Dr Chua should be aware of the risk involved in his extramarital relationship and the repercussions of being caught in the act.
He has complained that he was being punished twice. But it is necessary to ask if he was ever punished by his party.
Dr Chua's resignation from his ministerial and party positions was done voluntarily. How can the party criticise other sexual offenders and immoral acts if its own leaders go unpunished?
While the party delegates would need to decide if he had contributed to the party or was a burden to reform efforts, they have to bear in mind the public's frustration over leaders who were embroiled in scandals.
Can Dr Chua continue in his job as the Barisan chief coordinator to recapture the opposition states without his own personal scandals becoming a burden to the coalition? His presence at several recent by-elections did very little to convince the Chinese voters.
The party should realise that the Malaysian voters are looking for the emergence of fresh, responsible and credible candidates and politicians. If Dr Chua is really keen to contribute to his party, there are other better ways to do it.
One possibility would be to retreat to the background and use his experience to train new leaders including his own son, who is already a member of parliament.
At a crossroads
The EGM would be a good indication of the party's seriousness in wanting to reform. If the delegates are unable to put the party's interest above personal issues, it will mark the end of the party.
Ironically, Dr Chua's suspension should not have been the deciding factor for the party's survival.
Malaysian politics is at a crossroads. The MCA is also at a crossroads. The moral capital of a leader should not even be debated. A good moral character should have been the prerequisite for those who aspire to hold public offices. The MCA's survival is in its ability to reform and meet the high standards of its electorates.
Hence, the president's request for support to tackle the biggest financial scandal in the history of Malaysia has to be taken seriously.
The party needs to be accountable to the people regarding the failure of its former ministers and appointed officers of the Port Klang Authority and the Port Klang Free Zone.
The creation of a new super task force should not diminish the role of the Transport Minister in his efforts to continue probing and taking appropriate actions against those culprits.
Being part of a ruling coalition, the party can only win back the support of the voters if it can play an effective role in the Government in ensuring good governance.
The voters are not really paying that much attention to personal disputes. Ong was criticised for being arrogant, aloof and brash. Many people are more interested in his promise to investigate the PKFZ financial fiasco thoroughly.
It is in the interest of the Barisan and MCA leaders to fully support his endeavours. Just like the V.K. Lingam saga, the PKFZ scandal may just be the trigger of another political tsunami in the next general election.
MCA delegates must vote with their heads and not their heart in deciding the fate of these two leaders.
TI Report: The Right Step Forward for Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng
The CPI is part of TI's Global Corruption Report (GCR) 2009 released yesterday.
In its report on Malaysia, TI highlighted the Malaysian practice of the "revolving door" whereby individuals move from government to business, or business to politics, and back again, and estimated that corruption could cost Malaysia as much as RM10 billion a year.
"Significant government participation in the private sector and considerable business participation in politics means that the movement of gatekeepers to players and players to gatekeepers has a negative influence on the concept of checks and balances," said TI.
"The complexity of the relationships between politics and the public and private sectors means that corruption may take place with impunity. Until drastic action is taken to separate the cosy relationship between government, business and politics, the anti-corruption effort will remain no more than a token gesture," said TI.
It also recognised the state government's directive barring administrators and state executive councillors from making any new land applications and efforts to attract professionals to serve on various boards, such as the Penang State Appeals Board.
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng says he is "humbled" by the recognition by TI and added that he was concerned over the fact that that corruption could cost Malaysia as much as RM10 billion a year – an amount equivalent to 1 or 2 per cent of GDP as pointed out by the GCR when it cited the findings of the special government business facilitation task force Pemudah and the World Bank.
He added that the two local authorities in Penang are expected to save another RM34 million over three years from a "transparent" negotiation over the price of solid waste disposal that reduced the rates agreed to by the previous Barisan Nasional administration by a further 42.4 per cent.
Corruption is the mother of all ills in this country. I would like to commend CM Lim for a job well done. His administration has taken the right step forward to ensure a better accountability of public funds.
In contrast, PAS Selangor State Exco Dr Hasan Ali has taken the exact opposite action in trying to undermine the effort of Selcat to investigate abuse of public funds. Agencies, departments and ministries which tasked with the responsibility of managing the taxpayers' money must be subjected to a strict due diligence.
The PKFZ fiasco is a prime example of a lack of such mechanism and financial discipline.
Lim also today announced that the state has managed to cut about RM36 million or 12 per cent of in operating expenditure this year due to its efforts to curb corruption.

It is Too Early for 2010 Joker of the Year Award, Hishammuddin...
He said this, "If there are people out there who are a threat to security, I will fill Kamunting to the brim."
He said this in response to a question regarding any plans to vacate the Kamunting facility, said: "Kamunting is there for a reason because it is to protect against threat to security. They (the current detainees) are a threat to security."
Yeah right, including one who can't sing the national anthem, 'Negaraku'.
Does he have any plan to fill up some of the rooms in Kamunting with those cow head protesters? The last I remembered, he was so compassionate to them and even defended their action.
The next moment, an online news media (Malaysiakini.com) reporters and key executives were interrogated by MCMC for putting up two videos on the protest and his press conference.
Hishammuddin should loosen up his collar to clear the air passage up to his brain.

With an Advisor Like Dr M, No Wonder the Tourism Industry is Half Dead
He said it was not a waste of money to invest in the country's F1 team as the advantages, including tourism and technological advancement, had always outweighed the disadvantages.
First, advertisement alone is not enough to attract tourists to Malaysia. This is the greatest fallacy practiced by the Ministry of Tourism and now we know who taught them to just advertise and appoint celebrity ambassadors but did little for everything else.
The ministry spends almost RM150 million annually on tourism roadshows and advertisements. How many tourists actually visited the country? 20 million or more but 75% were weekly visitors from Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.
Second, if the government can invest more than RM250 million a year on the 1Malaysia F1 team why can't the same government invest RM25 million to help improve the amenities in Georgetown, Penang which is now a UNESCO World Heritage city?
Why can't the government spend more money annually to help improve the public transport system? One of the main grouses of tourists is the lack of good and reliable public transport to help them to move around?
Is advertisement alone enough to attract visitors to come back to Malaysia again or to recommend this country to others if there is very little effort to create more tourism products? Or to make the streets safer for tourists? Johor Bahru is so notoriously famous for crime that at one time Dr M and MM Lee Kuan Yew had a spat over the latter's remark on the issue.
Would the foreign tourists be impressed with the level of our cleanliness? Hospitality? Service quality?
Yes, go ahead and spend more on advertisement and all the hoo ha about 1 Malaysia and all those crap stories.
Lets see if we are going to get 100 times more dividends from the investment. Are Dr M and his rich sons, or Tony Fernandez and his partners going to be responsible if the investment is a failure? Will the investment create more jobs locally?
The minister of tourism should resign if her recent investment on Jean Todt and Jimmy Choo does not yield any positive results for Malaysia.
Enough crap. Malaysia really need to Think 1st. Act Later.

A Tough Choice for MCA - Dogged or Tainted?
The same EGM will also decide on whether his sacked deputy Dr Chua Soi Lek will be able to return to the party. Indirectly, the EGM can be seen as an extended presidential election for MCA.
A vote of no-confidence against Ong and a support for the return of Chua can potentially put the latter in-charge of the party.
Chua is right to say that the Chinese community is no longer bothered with their tussle. There are many issues which both Chua and Ong did nothing to address e.g. the Teoh Beng Hock death, continuation of the NEP, reform of public institutions, racism in Utusan Malaysia and others.
Chua is evidently an old school leader who believes, like both Lim Keng Yaik & Koh Tsu Koon, that his party needs to use a soft and persuasive approach to deal with UMNO. This action over the years has contributed to the hegemony of UMNO in the coalition.
Chua should refrain from being a pot calling a kettle black. It is evident that his leadership of MCA (more than 30 years) did nothing to help this government to rule more justly. Take a poll now and many non-Malays will be able to tell him that they feel like 2nd class citizens in their mother land.
It is unbelievable that leaders of MCA and Gerakan continue to tolerate UMNO after the Ahmad Ismail, cow head, Utusan racist articles and others.
How different is Chua leadership? What can Chua do to help the Chinese?
The verdict of the March 2008 general election should serve as a good lesson to MCA. The people expect politicians to respect their constitutional rights. No point referring to the Rukun Negara everytime, like Tsu Koon, to point out to UMNO that they should observe respect. It is a cowardice act.
The people want an outspoken, courageous and decisive party to represent their interest. It is time for the MCA leadership to do two things - first, turn multiracial and second, clean up their image and lose the baggage.
Otherwise, Chua can steer his MCA to become more buddy buddy with an unrepentant UMNO and suffer a sorrow destruction in the next general election.
I have an advice for Chua - repent. He said in his interview with Malaysiakini:
Our readers are asking: In view of the sex scandal DVD, why are you fighting? Why didn't you retire after that?
Somebody taped me. I didn't tape myself. If I tape myself and it leaks out, I should go off. Nobody is talking about the person who taped me and why he taped me. Why? Are we going to have this political culture where we film their secret life, or trap them.
No, the problem is not because you did not tape your sexual exploit. You should go because you were caught on tape having an illicit sex with another woman who was not your wife. What can Chua expect the Chinese community to learn from his leadership if he cannot understand such a simple fact?
To Ong and his promise to investigate the PKFZ financial fiasco; a promise is a promise. The people especially the voters of Pandan will know what to do to you come the next general election if this promise is not being fulfilled.
My support for Ong is conditional. He wants the people to help him fight corruption, create a benchmark for managing public projects and to hold the government/contractors etc. accountable for their action.
Good. He got it (the support). Now, lets focus on the delivery. He should start by telling us how he can continue with his endeavour since the newly established Special Task Force does not include him.
Oh ya, please ask for my permission if MCA (under Chua) is going around claiming to represent the Chinese community.
I can live with an arrogant and aloof fellow who does his job well and handle my money responsibly. Who wants to have a MCA president as his karaoke buddy anyway? Maybe, except Tiong.
Rich Man Toy - Malaysian F1 Team
Ahmad Razlan said cooperation between SIC and AirAsia began a few months ago when Asia's low-budget airlines boss Tony Fernandes told him about his ambitious dream to set up an all-Malaysian F1 team.
Since the government is a partner in this project, I have a few questions to ask PM Najib Razak.
- How much of the taxpayers' money is involved?
- How much is the cost to run the team annually?
- What is the benefit or ROI for the people?
- How many low cost houses have the government build in a year? An updated statistics would be greatly appreciated.
- How can this involvement help to turn Proton around?
- How many Penans are going to be benefited from the project?
- How many hectares of land have been allocated to build houses for the poor? How many more Kampung Buah Palas incidents in the waiting?
This government got nothing better to do ah? What about improving the efficiency of the civil service? What about spending the money to help improve public amenities and public transport?
I hope the decision to invest in the Malaysian F1 Team is not another contribution of the newly and expensively assembled PR team.

Do I Need to Ask the State Government's Permission if I Want to Call Myself a Penang Kia (Son of Penang)?
He said there had been complaints of the word being used in functions, events and magazines which had nothing to do with the state government.
I agree that the state government should not be implicated in events, functions or publications which claimed to be supported by the administration when there was no approval.
But anyone is allowed to use the word, 'Penang', because it is a name of a location or a state. The use of the word 'Penang' is not the sole prerogative or right of the state government.
I hope the Chief Minister is made aware that there are better ways to monitor the use of the state government or related logos by organisers and publishers than trying to control the use of the word 'Penang'.
It is not uncommon for restaurants and food stalls outside of the state to use the word 'Penang' to promote their business. It is actually good for the state tourism. Afterall, Penang is known as a food haven.
How to Avoid Whipping: Don't Drink Beer, Own a Brewery
The Malaysian Insider reported that Nazarudin Kamaruddin, 46, had become the first person to be caned for consuming alcohol in Pahang state in central Malaysia.
Meanwhile, Mirzan Mahathir has defended his investment group's stake in Philippines conglomerate San Miguel Corp (SMC), saying the company was well on the way to diversifying substantially from its brewery business.
In a letter to The Malaysian Insider yesterday, Mirzan said San Miguel Corp had decided to shift its attention to the infrastructure, public utility and energy requirements of the Philippines, from its core brewery business.
Kartika and Nazarudin should learn a valuable lesson here. Do not drink beer if you are not rich and mighty. If you are, own a brewery instead.
Is the syariah court judge going to call up Mirzan to face a whipping sentence too? If yes, I bet it could be more than 10k lashes. What hypocrisy!
PKFZ - Same Old, Same Old
The most important question which has to be asked now is, "Can Barisan be entrusted to clean up its own mess and to hold its leaders accountable for the PKFZ fiasco?" Or will the investigation ended up like other previous royal commissions - nothing much to show?
There are several key questions which have to be answered by the various task forces, MACC, the police and the cabinet:
1) Will the government make available all investigation papers?
2) What are the steps to be taken by the government to prosecute the perpetrators?
3) How to limit the financial losses of the project so that it does not continue to drain PKA and tax payers' money
4) Several officers including the new GM and the Minister of Transport Ong Tee Keat had said that PKFZ can be turned around - what are the guarantees and where are the studies done to justify the conclusion?
5) Where are the various turnaround plans?
6) Why is Tiong King Sing and O.C Phang not yet being hauled up to answer to the various allegations against them?
Najib should be reminded that the creation of more special task forces are merely superficial steps trying to appease the people. At the end of the day, this government must still be held responsible for its own fiasco.
We need to remind the government again and again that there is a need of a credible closure for the two royal commissions - V.K Lingam and the police force.

Penan's Plight Reflects the Failure of Bumiputera Policy
UMNO & Money Politics
I had given the same advice to sacked MCA deputy president Chua Soi Lek who was adamant to overthrow his nemesis and president of the second biggest party in Barisan.
Unfortunately, it is Najib's party members who refused to accept his advice. For the Bagan Pinang by-election, the Teluk Kemang division has nominated a sole candidate to contest the seat. The person, Isa Samad, was a controversial figure and someone who is not new to money politics. If the division insists on their candidate, it might as well be a repeat of the Rohaizat saga in Permatang Pasir.
Tainted candidates must not win and the public would only do themselves a favour by rejecting such candidates.
Isa, who was menteri besar of Negeri Sembilan from 1982 to 2004, rose rapidly in the Umno political arena but it was short-lived when he was accused of money politics.That landed him in a six-year suspension by the Umno disciplinary committee but the punishment was shortened to three years.
It is very hard for UMNO to free itself from warlord politics and corruption in the party. Dr Mahathir, the architect of patronage politics, has turned fortune teller. He predicted that UMNO/BN might just follow the foot steps of LDP in Japan.
For the sake of Malaysian politics, I support a change of the federal government. A change of power will help to clean up the system and break the entrenched patronage system.
Some of these politicians have turned complete arrogant and senseless. The fact that Hishammuddin can come out to defend the cow head protesters and reprimand Malaysiakini is a clear indication that we need to change this country.

Joseph Salang Gandum - When Silence is Better than a Few Words
Joseph Salang Gandum defended the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission's (MCMC) investigations into Malaysiakini's airing of the cow-head video protests.
"The MCMC is acting within the parameters of the law," said Joseph. "The issue is hot. I don't think anyone should contribute to make it hotter" The MCMC is the custodian. The public won't like it if they (MCMC) did not take any action," said Joseph.
What did Malaysiakini contribute to make it hotter? Did the deputy minister realise that the same report/video of protesters spitting and stomping the cow's head was reported by media organisations worldwide?
Malaysiakini is an online news media. This is a common duty for them to provide such a report. The deputy minister should just stick to the law and not trying to pull the public into the investigation to support the agency's action against Malaysiakini.
Is the government trying to act like the Iranian government in blocking access to all videos of the recent mass protests against the elected president and his government?
To Joseph Salang, it is better to keep a silence than to speak a few words - that sounded completely unreasonable and intellectually limited.
A poll on Malaysiakini and the cow-head probe is up on the side bar. Please let us hear your voice.

Idris Jala First Task as KPI Minister - Sack MACC Chief Ahmad Said!
Lee Lan, who was the closest of three other siblings to Teoh, challenged Ahmad Said to answer three questions:
- Who saw Beng Hock jump from [the] MACC building?
- Beng Hock was classified as a witness in the investigation, what pressure would he have faced?
- Will MACC's interrogation method bring about pressure on the witness or suspect to cause them to jump to death?
Ahmad Said is a total disgrace to this country. No anti-corruption head in the whole world would have said what Ahmad did without any solid proof. Is he trying to protect himself and his colleagues?
No wonder Malaysia is still backward, democratically. Something is very wrong with the performance yardstick in the public institutions.
This government seems to reward those 'cow-ards' who are abusing their power and talking 'bull-shit' most of the time.
This is the first task for Idris Jala. Review the performance of Ahmad Said. The government is already receiving some flaks for renewing the contract of IGP Musa Hassan. What is the justification for renewing Musa's contract? Performance?
Crime rates have climbed up by more than 100 % in the last few years. More than 95% of respondents in a poll were afraid of their personal safety.
I am afraid we might need a third KPI minister if Idris fails to deliver.
This Hassan is equally as senseless as the Ahmad.
I Support Zaid Ibrahim's Challenge to Najib Razak
The UMNO leader is using the Hindu temple relocation issue in Section 23 and other issues including the recent resignation of Lunas assemblyman from the PKR as examples. However, his party's thumb prints are all over these incidents - pointing to a conspiracy bring down the PR states.
I support Zaid Ibrahim's call to Najib: "Well, why doesn't he turn our discomfort into presumable misery by calling for snap elections in Perak to allow voters to rectify the mistake they made in March last year?" challenged Zaid.
Zambry and Khairy were so confident that Perakians have accepted the power grab. Why don't Najib and his gang try to prove Nizar, Zaid, Ngeh and the rest wrong by calling for a fresh state wide election in Perak?
Talk is cheap. I hope the newly appointed and very expensive PR consultant, APCO, was not involved in the prime minister's latest speech. The consulting fee is going to be paid from our pockets. I can assure you that I will scrutinize every move made by this PR consulting firm.
Hopefully, I will not be ambushed by another Indonesia based PR consultant again.

Islam & Malay, The Main Victims of the Sri Mahamariamman Hindu temple Fiasco
First, the level of religious and racial tolerance in Malaysia is at its lowest ebb. It was made worse by racist and extremist politicians who want to continue feeding their supporters with sensitive and senseless race and religious issues to keep them fired up.
As a result, not only the issue was blown out of proportion but it was put on a global microscope for the world to see how senseless, intolerant and uncivilised Malaysians are. These zealots may continue to argue that what happened in Malaysia is not the concern of other outsiders.
They must be reminded that this world is interconnected. If we can criticize the Israel atrocities against the residents of Gaza, we should be able to do the same to protect our own minorities.
We should be able to deplore violence and threats and accept that a proper civilised discourse is a better option to help solve issues which involved different beliefs and races.
This was precisely the option taken by the Selangor state government headed by PKR's Khalid Ibrahim. Khalid's goodwill was instead reciprocated by insults and jeers. These protesters should feel ashamed of themselves for not being able to act reasonably and sensibly to help build a bridge of understanding and mutual respect with the minority Hindus in their area.
Both Khalid Ibrahim and Khalid Samad should be commended for showing a good leadership in managing the issue. The reaction and compassion of both Khalids should be able to help the other non-Malay Muslim Malaysians to understand that the rude behaviour and uncivilised mannerism of a small bunch of protesters do not represent the general attitude and behaviour of all Malay-Muslims.
There is now a real solid reason for many of us to believe that those involved in the 'cow head' demonstration were UMNO members or supporters. They were quick to get a personal attention from the Minister of Home Affairs Hishammuddin Hussien and other UMNO big guns such as Khir Toyo.
It is so unfortunate that these leaders had consistently defended all wrongdoings committed by various public agencies in the country e.g. the police, the Election Commission, the MACC, the judiciary and others.
Secondly, it is becoming evidently clear that the actions and deeds of these unscrupulous protesters and those politicians who had helped to defend and protect them are doing a great injustice to the good image of the Malays and Islam.
I can only urge all Malaysians to practice restrain in our responses and words and not to be provoked into making unfair and insensitive criticism against the other Malay Muslims.
In the holy month of Ramadhan, I am sure many of our Muslim brothers were equally upset and hurt by the action of these protesters who were too cowardice to step forward and accept responsibility for their senseless action.
Let the Bagan Pinang by-election become a valuable lesson to UMNO. They must lose the by-election to understand that this country wants to move away from the old ethno-religious politics which is senseless, irresponsible, shameless and violent.
3 Stooges & 1 Apple Polisher
Next, the police force (PDRM) has been acting very weird lately. The IGP who recently got his term extended by another year was only energized to combat crime after the prime minister announced his KPIs - one of them is to combat crime. The rest of the time was he napping or too busy playing a security director to some politicians?
The third stooge, MACC, would go after 'ikan bilis' but not the 'buaya'. The biggest of the crocodiles is still moving freely and even cooked up several allegations against a minister who was tasked to investigate his scandal. An innocent person was instead found plunged to his death at the MACC office. What a shame!
And the icing on the cake is an apple polisher who claims that IGP Musa extension has received the support of 'all' except for a few opposition politicians. This goon is of course enjoying his fat pay cheque every end of the month dishing out the same rubbish.
Amazing! I hope the new KPI Minister Idris Jala will not find his impressive corporate track record being tarnished with dirt not being able to implement the right KPIs. In Malaysia, the goons are being rewarded. All you need to do is to praise the PM, UMNO and to talk silly, act tough and being totally unreasonable just like the MCMC warning letter to Malaysiakini.com
Malaysians, kick these goons out before it is too late!
Why Malaysiakini?
"These videos contain offensive contents with the intent to annoy any person, especially Indians.
"This is an offence under Section 211/233 of the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998," said monitoring and enforcement division senior acting director Abdul Halim Ahmad in a letter dated Sept 3.
Funny, not an offence to act out the racist and provocative action? None of the 50 demonstrators was punished. The minister of home affairs even tried to defend the perpetrators.
It is best for UMNO and other BN component parties to learn the lesson of LDP in Japan quickly.

Felix Lora To Face Edis Tatli on March 9th in Espoo
By Per Ake Persson
Felix Lora, a dangerous journeyman from Dominican Republic but now based in Barcelona, Spain, will defend the WBA I/C lightweight title March 9 in Espoo, Finland, against Edis Tatli, 19-0.
A pro since 2003 Lora has racked a number of upset wins and the losses are on the road against tough opponents. He won the title with an upset win over the previously undefeated Massimiliano Ballisai. Tatli, a good boxer but not a puncher, just relinquished the EU title and is in tough in this matchup.
Cruiserweight Juho Haapoja is featured in the semifinal on this P 3 Boxing promotion.
Both fights should be very entertaining, Tatli is very quick - hands and feet - and technical and Haapoja is planning to go back to his all out brawling style after taking a beating from Masternak. Tatli must be very…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (1)

My wife, Dorothy, had just collapsed, her legs had given out entirely. Even though it is extremely dangerous to ride the mule downhill, there was no other way to get her to the campsite.
Off she went, flanked by the guide and another man. It was dark. I'm on the side of a sheer cliff going back and forth downhill over a treacherous, slippery rock-strewn path.

Skip to comments.Sotomayor Helped Puncture Vince Foster Conspiracy Theories
Posted on 05/29/2009 11:46:31 AM PDT by pissant
Among Sonia Sotomayor's many judicial accomplishments is the piercing one of the federal government's unnecessary and counterproductive claims of secrecy--and the right-wing conspiracy theories it generated. As the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press notes, in 1995, Sotomayor ordered the public release of the legendary Vince Foster suicide note.
Sotomayor's Republican critics may not want to call attention to her jurisprudence in this case. Her order helped drain the fever swamps of right-wing fantasists who said that Foster had been murdered. It also effectively silenced the editors of the Wall Street Journal, Rush Limbaugh and others who had kept the bogus claim alive for years with little more than innuendo.
Foster was a White House deputy counsel in the first Clinton administration and a close friend of First Lady Hillary Rodham from their days as law partners in Arkansas. As the Wall Street Journal editorial page mounted a steady stream of attacks on the Clinton's investment in an Arkansas real estate development known as Whitewater alleging that the Clintons were hiding something (exactly what was never clear), Foster became despondent. He committed suicide in a Virginia park overlooking the Potomac River on July 20, 1993.
A day later the White House revealed that a torn-up suicide note had been found in Foster's brief case prompting Limbaugh to say
"had this sort of thing happened in the Reagan or Bush administrations, the press would be all over the White House, insisting that a cover-up was in progress."
In fact, Foster's suicide was exhaustively investigated. By 1995, two law enforcement inquiries and two congressional investigations reached the conclusion that Foster had committed suicide.
(Excerpt) Read more at tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com ...
Why is this NOT A BIG SURPRISE?
Gee, how did I miss that? Did she explain why the bullet was never found? The very odd angle the gun was in Foster's hand? The lack of fingerprints on the suicide note? The lack of sufficient blood at the scene?
Good. So now maybe she can order release of the Birth Certificate?
So maybe we should ask her if, in keeping with her work on the Vince Foster suicide note, she would get Obama to release his real birth certificate to deflate that controversy as well.
Haven't seen you here in a coon's age.
Foster suicide note was a forgery, say experts
Thursday, 26 October 1995
Washington (Reuter) - Someone forged the torn-up suicide note that was discovered after White House lawyer Vincent Foster was found with a fatal gunshot wound, a group of handwriting experts said yesterday.
Three handwriting specialists presented analysis at a news conference of the note found in Foster's briefcase after the deputy White House counsel was found dead on 20 July 1993 in a park near Washington. They said it appeared the note was not written by Foster but was a forgery.
US Park Police and former independent counsel Robert Fiske concluded that Foster had committed suicide and that he had written the note, but his death has given rise to some conspiracy theories that Foster was murdered.
The note, said to have been written days or weeks before Foster died, complained of life in Washington and concluded: "I was not meant for the job or the spotlight of public life in Washington. Here ruining people is considered sport."
The handwriting specialists, former New York police department homicide expert Vincent Scalice, Oxford University manuscript expert Reginald Alton, and Boston private investigator Ronald Rice, said comparisons with a letter Foster had written had enough differences in style and letters to conclude the suicide note was not written by Foster.
John Bates, an associate counsel with Kenneth Starr, Mr Fiske's successor as the independent counsel investigating the Whitewater land deal of President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, said the investigation of the Foster episode "is open and ongoing."
Dr Alton described the "forgery" as done by a "moderate forger, not necessarily a pro, somebody who could forge a check."
This would be the fake Foster suicide note?
I add-The gun, itself-old, not recognized by Foster's family; the changed position of Foster's body; the disappearance of pictures; the cleaning out of Foster's office while STILL a crime scene.
Unlike some people I know, I have never thought the Clinton's actually planned some of the deaths that happened on their watch-Foster, Ron Brown (another case of pictures disappearing), many of the Arkansas incidents---BUT, I do think they had friends in low places (Ark. mafia, etc.)who did scheme and plan, and I do believe much of what happened the Clinton's had knowledge of. Of course, Hill is devious enough to plan almost anything.
And if I recall the hand writing analyst that first validated that the note was written by Foster, in a later 'blind' analysis where only some words of the 'suicide note' were sampled were compared to other samples of Foster's writing, without him knowing the source of the words, found no relation to the sample given. IOW, when he knew it was a 'suicide note' from Foster, he ruled in the positive and when he didn't know that, where he might be biased, he said there was no positive identification between the samples.
So maybe Sotomayor will unfreeze obambis phone records and calls he made while doing crack with Larry Sinclair.
Sinclair's book is coming out in June. Stay tuned.
Not if Obama and his minions can help it.
ahhh...I get it now...another Clintonista to spash around in the waves...we're being played,
....as Billyboy is quietly appointed to the role of an UN "envoy" to Haiti, where 9000 UN troops also just so happen to be (reuters May 19)
best regards, blu
Sinclair got tired of all the thug tactics against his potential publishers. He started his own publishing company.
She's a mechanical party hack!

FX renews 'Justified' for season 4
FX has renewed "Justified" for a fourth season, to air in early 2013.
The modern-day Western, starring Timothy Olyphant as U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, is in the middle of its third season, with the 8th out or 13 episodes airing tonight at 10. (It's one of my favorites of the season, for what it's worth; I was polishing off the review when the renewal news came in.)
"'Justified' is one of television's best series and this season has reinforced that excellence," FX vice-president of original programming Nick Grad said in a statement. "Graham Yost and his writing team continue to deliver compelling material and richly drawn characters brought to life by the brilliance of Timothy Olyphant and our terrific ensemble cast. Their work is validated by universal acclaim, awards, and ratings that have grown every year. We look forward to many more seasons to come."
Yost in turn said, "There are many reasons all of us on 'Justified' are grateful to get a chance to do another season. We get to do more work with amazing actors, writers, producers, directors, musicians, editors and a jaw-droppingly talented crew. We get to keep doing a show that appeals to a wide demographic: people in Harlan, retired US Marshals, criminals (we honestly did hear that), and, most happily, our guide, our muse, Elmore Leonard. Best of all, we get to keep doing a show on FX (and while that may sound like craven ass-kissing, when you look at their roster, you can't help but feel grateful to be on that list)."
Through the first seven episodes, "Justified" season three is averaging 4.3 million viewers, up 8 percent over a year ago.

'Iron Man 3' smashes box-office records in overseas launch
Iron Man has accomplished something not even the entire "Avengers" lineup could - a $195 million opening weekend overseas.
Indeed, "Iron Man 3" grossed just that amount ($195.3 million, to be exact) in its international rollout over the weekend, nearly matching its reported $200 million budget before even hitting the domestic marketplace. That's a bigger opening than last year's "The Avengers," which launched to a measly $185.1 million in its debut weekend overseas, albeit in three fewer markets ("Iron Man 3" hit 42 territories in its first weekend while "The Avengers" opened in 39). Still, it's an impressive debut by any measure, and the film broke records in several territories, including:
- Biggest opening weekend ever in: Argentina, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore
- Biggest opening day ever in: Taiwan, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia
- Biggest Marvel opening weekend in: Australia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Finland, Hungary, Romania, New Zealand, Argentina, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines and Malaysia
(Note: The film has yet to open in several major international markets including China, Russia and Germany.)
Below you can find a list of box-office numbers for specific territories:
Korea $19.2M
Australia $18.4M
Mexico $16.1M
France $14.7M
Brazil $12.3M
Italy $11.2M
Taiwan $8.4M
Philippines $7.4M
Japan $5.4M
India $5.2M
Spain $5.0M
Malaysia $4.6M
Indonesia $4.5M
Other $36.5M
Total $195.3M
"Iron Man 3" opens in North America on May 3.

Ever wonder what the Bard was on about? I mean, really on about? If you've read Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet for English class (and if you haven't, you probably will), you've probably figured out that there are some double meanings in the text. And if you've ever been to a live production of one of his plays, the snickers from at least some of the members of the audience have probably cued you in to the fact that just because it's Shakespeare doesn't mean it's high-brow. In fact, Shakespeare's plays were well-loved by the (unwashed - literally) masses during his lifetime, and with good reason: even the tragedies have really bawdy bits in them.
Hence today's book: Filthy Shakespeare: Shakespeare's Most Outrageous Sexual Puns by Pauline Kiernan. The book has a somewhat titillating title, and it certainly is chockablock full of blunt - nay, crude - sexual terms. But it does a good - if overenthusiastic - job of identifying representative scenes in many of the plays that involve decidedly bawdy terms.
Shakespeare's bawdy scenes are often comical as well (or would have been played for comedy in Shakespeare's time, such as the scene recounting the death of Sir John Falstaff in Henry V - nowadays played for ill-judged pathos most of the time, but likely played for laughs among the bawdy Elizabethan crowds), but sometimes they are not - as in Henry V, where Henry threatens the Dauphin and the French using tennis terms after the Dauphin sends him a mocking gift of tennis balls, or in the scene outside Harfleur where he tells the Governor of Harfleur to let him in now while he has control of his men, or he'll let them loose to rape and pillage.
Pauline Kiernan is a scholar, and although she makes plain the meanings of many of the terms used in Shakespeare's plays, many of which have been forgotten over the centuries, there is little art in her translations - when she decides that a word of Shakespeare's dialogue stands in for something else - and she usually uses particularly blunt words for body parts and actions involving them - she swaps her body parts and whatnot for Shakespeare's text, ordinarily without any nuance or subtlety.
In the book, you learn things like that the word "O" is often used to reference the female anatomy. And then you get specific scenes spelled out for you, like this bit from Romeo and Juliet, Act II, sc. 1:
Mercutio If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark.
Now will he sit under a medlar tree
And wish his mistress were that kind of fruit
As maids call medlars when they laugh alone.
O Romeo, that she were, O that she were
An open-arse, and thou a popp'rin' pear.
From Filthy Shakespeare:
If love be blind, he won't be able to f*ck the vagina.
He'll sit under a medlar tree
and wish his mistress were that kind of fruit
that girls call open-arses when they're talking dirty on their own.
O Romeo, if only she were, O if only she were
an open arse, and you an erect penis popping it in her.
And seriously? This was one of the tamest translations in the book.
Filthy Shakespeare is a great resource for figuring out those naughty double meanings, which, in all honesty, makes it easier to appreciate Shakespeare in general, and his ability to work on multiple levels at once in particular. It's also useful for plays where you can't quite figure out why a particular scene is even there - those scenes that now feel like filler, but back then, with knowledge of the double meanings, would have had audiences rolling with laughter.
For instance, in the case of Falstaff's death, which is communicated in Henry V, I didn't see that the scene added anything to the action. If it doesn't add anything, then what's it there for. Sure, we knew Falstaff was involved with Prince Hal (now Henry V) during the Henry IV plays, so it makes sense to sew up that particular loose end. But really, that scene is kind of boring when staged as a serious one. I suspected that, like many of the scenes that now seem misplaced and/or tedious, it was supposed to be a comical scene. I suspected, also, that it had something to do with sex. In Filthy Shakespeare, I learned that I was correct about the sexual puns, and likely the comedy. If you were to read the book, you'd see what I mean - it's a bit too crude for me to reproduce here.
Now Kiernan, the author, definitely has serious credentials - she has a Ph.D. from Oxford, and she taught there for many years, and has written several books on Shakespeare. She's got serious bona fides, in other words. So in some ways, this is a scholarly work tarted up in profanity, a way of educating modern audiences into some of the nuances of Shakespeare's work, and on exactly how many different levels he was sometimes operating at the same time. It's a testament to his skill that the surface words he used continue to make sense and resonate even when secondary meanings are overlooked.

Range Description
This species is found on Peleng Island (Sody 1949), off the coast of the eastern peninsula of Sulawesi. There are unconfirmed reports that tarsiers might be present in other islands of the nearby Banggai Archipelago, and if these reports are accurate, then this would extend the range of T. pelengensis.
Habitat and Ecology
Habitat and Ecology
This species is believed to inhabit primary and secondary lowland and mangrove forest (to 520 m) (M. Indrawan and Y. Masala pers. comm.). Like all tarsiers it shows extreme adaptations for vertical clinging and leaping (VCL) in the understory of suitable tropical habitats, often 2 meters or less from the ground. Nocturnal, social primates, they are likely to live in small, monogamous or polygamous groupings of 2-6. Their diet is 100% live animal prey, mostly insects with some small vertebrates.

Year Assessed
Shekelle, M., Salim, A., Groves, C.P. & Indrawan, M.
Mittermeier, R.A. & Rylands, A.B. (Primate Red List Authority)
This species is considered Endangered as the species is known to occur only on Peleng island. Over this range it occurs in a number of fragmented populations, and a there is believed to be a continued decline in extent and quality of its habitat, and its extent of occurrence is less that 5,000 km.
- 2000Data Deficient (DD)
- 1996Data Deficient (DD)
Population Trend
This taxon has not been studied in the wild. By analogy with other taxa of eastern tarsiers, we can estimate that densities in good habitat might be 156/km2 (Gursky 1997), or, as for T. dentatus (Merker 2003) up to 270/km2 in pristine habitat, 190/km2 for slightly disturbed, 130/km2 for moderate disturbance, and 45/km2 in heavily disturbed habitat.
Population Trend
Major Threats
GIS estimates indicate that only 211 km2 of good habitat remains on Peleng Island (2,339 km2). This implies that perhaps as little as 9% of the original habitat of the island remains in good condition. Therefore it seems likely that, while we know little about this species, habitat loss through slash and burn activities is a major threat. On the other hand, it is not clear that good habitat is also compatible with the needs of tarsier conservation. All species of tarsiers that have been studied in the wild are recorded in a number of non-forest habitats, but it remains an open question as to whether these habitats are suitable for sustainably-reproducing populations. GIS also provides an estimate of 1,474 km2 of fair habitat remaining on Pulau Peleng. Together with good habitat, this yields a total of 1,685 km2 of habitat that is potentially suitable for tarsier conservation, a figure that represents slightly more than 72% of the islands total area. In other words, the estimate of the percentage of the original tarsier habitat that still remains on Pulau Peleng varies from 9 to 72%, depending on whether fair habitat is included in the model. This example illustrates the need for field surveys to determine the suitability of fair habitat for sustainable tarsier populations. In the meantime, we use a most conservative estimate that includes good habitat only.
First-hand reports of conditions on Pulau Peleng are scant, but by analogy with other areas of Sulawesi, it should likely expect a continuing pattern of encroachment into tarsier habitat, leading to a decrease in the area of occupancy, quality of habitat, number of tarsier populations and mature individuals (M. Shekelle pers. comm.). Other threats may include illegal logging, agricultural pesticides, and predation by domestic animals (dogs and cats).

Peleng tarsier
The Peleng tarsier (Tarsius pelengensis), or the Peleng Island tarsier, is a nocturnal primate found on Peleng Island, Indonesia. This tarsier can turn is head 180 degrees, much like an owl, because its eyes are fixed in their sockets.

The President's centeredness, calm, and dignity inspire trust but also suggest a certain lack of combativeness, a reluctance to express indignation, and an unwillingness to identify enemies — resulting in a tendency toward compromise even at the early stages of controversy.
The Public Option's Last Stand, and the Public's
Without a public, Medicare-like option, health care reform is a bandaid for a system in critical condition. There's no way to push private insurers to become more efficient and provide better value to Americans without being forced to compete with a public option.
How the White House's Deal With Big Pharma Undermines Democracy
The White House confirmed it has promised Big Pharma that any healthcare legislation will bar the government from using its huge purchasing power to negotiate lower drug prices. That's basically the same deal George W. Bush struck in getting the Medicare drug benefit.

Obama: It's Up to Activists to Enact Real Health Care Reform
Barack Obama has created the best opportunity to enact universal health care with a public option since Truman's presidency. He has made a strong case for the public option, and used his personal popularity to drive the issue. But it is now up to constituency pressure to get the job done.
Long and Winding Road to Universal Healthcare
Even as Obama takes his case for comprehensive health care reform to the country, only a cockeyed optimist could believe Congress will soon produce anything remotely resembling the universal healthcare.
The Future of Universal Health Care, as of Now
If you're able and willing I'd urge you to descend on Washington the moment Congress returns from recess. There is nothing quite as persuasive to a member of Congress as real live constituent demanding real reform.
Michelle Malkin: Obamacare Is a Means To Amnestizing Border Jumpers
Ultimately, the progressive's "grand plan" involves an ambitous legislative agenda which seeks to remove barriers to quality health care and fix the broken immigration system through separate pieces of legislation because they are in fact two very different goals.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - Israeli archaeologists excavating at Kibbutz Ramat Rachel on the outskirts of Jerusalem discovered a small cache of coins dating to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD.
The coins were hidden under the floor of a columbarium, an underground cave where ancient Israelis raised pigeons. Many columbaria have been discovered over the years throughout the country.
Under the floor of the columbarium in Ramat Rachel, archaeologists found a ceramic cooking pot, dating from the 1st century A.D., which held 15 large coins.
"It's a very special to find a hoard like this, and it's very exciting," said Tel Aviv University archaeologist Dr. Oded Lipschitz, who is leading the excavation.
"We know that coins like these were brought to the Temple," Dr. Lipschitz said. "Possibly after the Temple was destroyed, there was no place to bring the coins and since the columbarium was no longer in use, they buried the coins here," he said, adding that the thought of the Temple's destruction aroused "sad thoughts as we approach Tisha B'Av [the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av, when Israelis mourn the lost of the First and Second Jewish Temples]."
Over the past four years, excavations at Ramat Rachel, jointly sponsored by Tel Aviv University and Germany's Heidelberg University," unearthed 380 coins from the Byzantine period (4th to 5th century AD) in one find and another 70 scattered in the same area.

Developer Playdead Says Limbo Not Coming to PS3, PC
ESRB rating was apparently an error, as the puzzle-platformer remains an XBLA exclusive.
Yesterday, the ESRB posted a rating for Limbo, a visually inventive puzzle-platformer from developer Playdead, that listed the game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC -- curious, since the game was only ever announced for release on Xbox Live Arcade. As it turns out, though, the ESRB listing wasn't a leaked announcement but rather a simple error: Playdead has confirmed Limbo will not be release for the PS3 or PC after all.
"We are only launching the title on XBLA," said Playdead's Dino Patti to Joystiq. "You won't see a PS3 or PC version this time around, sorry." Patti also said he's "not sure where the mistake was made" in the ESRB having the game listed for the PS3 and PC, but Playdead has already requested the ratings board remove the platforms from their ratings listing.
Presented entirely in black-and-white and with characters shown as silhouettes, the 2D sdiescroller has players guiding a young boy past environmental puzzles in an effort to find his lost sister in a sparse and, well, Limbo-like world. Limbo was last planned for release in the summer, though no specific date has been set.

What a gorgeous game,Posted: May 31, 2010 12:00AM PST by SamuraiTerry
I'll buy this on aesthetics alone.
looks goodPosted: May 31, 2010 12:00AM PST by assassinjeph
Wish this was coming to ps3, it'd be nice if we get it later like with braid. Has a good look and the physics implementation looks like it has room to add a few really cool situations on to the standard platforming action.
Is it even any good?Posted: May 30, 2010 12:00AM PST by ninjamunkey01
Looks alright but I doubt I'll be buying it. It looks quite similar to a few levels Ive played on LBP
I might check some reviews though just incase im wrong. Im just a tad skeptical becuase the last artsy game i downloaded whilst looked alright, had fairly samey gameplay.
is it just a jumping around platformer like the vid or is there more to it? I guess you cant expect anything groundbreaking when it costs so little
WellPosted: May 30, 2010 12:00AM PST by spaceworm
I'm glad I have a 360 for this, but I want all gamers to play this game. I don't think anybody should be left out from this. Hopefully PS3 will get it next year.
HahaPosted: May 29, 2010 12:00AM PST by Orpheo
This means the ESRB wasn't supposed to let it slip this early. If the ESRB listed the game as multiplatform than it is multiplatform, just don't expect to see the PS3 version for at least a year ala the supposed M$-exclusive "BioShock", "Braid", and "GTA4 DLC". There are so many great games to play I'm more than willing to wait for it's PS3 incarnation.

Well, it looks nice.Posted: May 29, 2010 12:00AM PST by Barlowe
I like the graphics and all, but if I have to listen to that annoying breathing sound all through the game, I'll just pass, thank you very much.

Can't you adjust the sound settings on most games?
@stryker0000Posted: May 29, 2010 12:00AM PST by Barlowe
Mmmyeah but I don't want to play without sound either.
But you're right, maybe if I just put captions on (if necessary), turn down effects sound and crank up music volume...That just seems to take a lot away from a game that looks like it relies pretty heavily on ambience :P

Spanos pleads innocent to second-degree murderStaff Report | January 24,2013A man accused in the crash that killed 17-year-old Carly Ferro in Rutland pleaded innocent today in Rutland criminal court to a charge of second-degree murder. Alex W. Spanos was ordered held without bail after entering the plea.
Spanos had been charged in September with manslaughter after the crash on Cleveland Avenue.
Prosecutors filed an amended charge of second-degree murder against Spanos earlier this year.

Man charged with smuggling marijuana into jailJuly 27,2014Jailed man faces
smuggling charge
A Fair Haven man jailed on a charge of felony domestic assault had another criminal charge added when he was allegedly caught smuggling marijuana into the Rutland jail, where hes being held on $75,000 bail.
Henry Lewis, 44, was arrested last weekend after Fair Haven police say he assaulted a woman inside the Liberty Street Discount Beverage Store. Lewis pleaded innocent this week in Rutland criminal court to a charge of aggravated domestic assault in the first degree and misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct, providing false information and resisting arrest.
But before he was arraigned on those charges, Vermont State Police issued him a citation for two additional offenses transporting regulated drugs into a jail and providing false information to a police officer.
Those charges stemmed, police say, from the discovery of roughly 0.3 ounces of marijuana hidden in Lewis body cavity when he was taken to the jail.
Lewis also allegedly gave police the false name of Cyrus Morris and the false age of 42.
He was issued a citation to appear in Rutland criminal court Sept. 15 to answer to the new offenses.MORE IN This Just InKILLINGTON Police are waiting for the results of an autopsy of a 30-year-old woman who was... Full Story
