George Lazenby

In 1969, George Lazenby was faced with a great opportunity that was also a daunting task: he was to star in the first Bond movie after Sean Connery retired from the role. Who could fill Connery’s shoes? To many Bond fans the answer is not yet known, but most everone agrees that Lazenby just couldn’t match the quality and depth Connery brought to the character.

The second of five James Bonds.

“Hey, jack ass!” shouted Santa to the man hidden under Vixen’s stomache, the man driving the truck that the float rested and glided through the streets upon. “Get me the hell out of here!”

“Oh, Santa!” said the man with a giggle and a wave back at the jolly ol’ elf.

Santa looked back and saw the thing getting closer, the crowd getting pushed and thrown apart quicker and quicker.

And then it was at the barrier.

And then the barrier was knocked over.

And then he felt the float tip slightly as whatever it was began to climb on.

“Ho ho oh no,” said Santa.

Suddenly, an invisible fist connected with his red nose, breaking it and sending the old tubby elf backwards and off of the float. The crowd smiled and waved at the sight, so caught up in the Christmas joy that they were blind to the happenings.

Santa rolled himself over and tried to get up, getting to his hands and feet when he felt something grab him from behind and lift him into the air, tossing him up and back into the street as the float continued forward and the crowed continued to smile.

Have yourself a Kenney little Christmas!

Christmas is a time of good year, of charity and of making sure that Jason Kenney doesn’t have a minute to spend with his family due to the increasing amounts of stories he owes us.

Feeling festive? Well stop.

Ohio Police Say Mom Faked Child’s Cancer

Police say a woman tricked her daughter and community into thinking the girl had cancer so she could raise money, even going so far as to shave the 7-year-old’s head and put her in counseling to prepare to die.

Teresa Milbrandt, 35, received more than $10,000 from businesses and residents, police Lt. Garry Kimpel estimated Thursday. Authorities do not know what she did with the money.

“She said it was a little white lie that got out of control,” Sgt. David Reese said.

How could you do that to a child? Christ.

Coffee, Tea, or Should We Feel Your Pregnant Wife’s Breasts Before Throwing You in a Cell at the Airport and Then Lying About Why We Put You There?

“We reject the false doctrine that the church could have permission to hand over the form of its message and of its order to whatever it itself might wish or to the vicissitudes of the prevailing ideological and political convictions of the day.”

You are Karl Barth! You like your freedom, and are pretty stubborn against authority! You don’t care much for other people’s opinions either. You can come up with your own fun, and often enough you have too much fun. You are pretty popular because you let people have their way, even when you have things figured out better than them.

Buy Nothing Christmas

This Christmas we’ll be swamped with offers, ads and invitations to buy more stuff. But now there’s a way to say enough and join a movement dedicated to reviving the original meaning of Christmas giving.

Introducing Buy Nothing Christmas

Buy Nothing Christmas is a national initiative started by Canadian Mennonites but open to everyone with a thirst for change and a desire for action.

Buy Nothing Christmas is a stress-reliever, and more people need to hear about it. You can change your world by simply putting up one of these posters (or make your own) in your church, place of worship, home or work. Be sneaky about it if you have to. The point is to get people thinking. It’s an idea whose time has come, so get out there and make a difference!

Bloggin’ stuff

Free Speech — Virtually

Legal Constraints on Web Journals Surprise Many ‘Bloggers’

Late last year, John Stanforth posted to his personal Web site a reminiscence about software he had developed for internal use by a former employer. It was a minor project, he said, one he never thought would warrant any secrecy.

So he was bewildered when, about two months later, he received a cease-and-desist letter in an e-mail from his old company. It said that by mentioning the project, he had violated the nondisclosure agreement he signed when he joined the firm in June 1997.

Blogs Make the Headlines

safe to assume that, before he flushed his reputation down the toilet, Trent Lott had absolutely no idea what a blog was.

He may have a clue now. Internet opinion pages like Instapundit, run by University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds, and Talking Points Memo, from leftie political columnist Josh Marshall — were among the first to latch on to ABCNews.com’s brief item on Lott’s racist comments during Strom Thurmond’s 100th birthday bash.

And they kept focusing on Lott’s hateful past — until the national press corps finally had to take notice.

The Best of the Web in 2002

In the annals of Internet history, 2002 may go down as the year of the blog. Twelve months ago, few of us had ever heard the term — a contraction of Web log — even though blogs had existed in one form or another since at least 1997. Today, their number is estimated to be anywhere from 200,000 to more than half a million.

The explosion in blogging has been felt within the legal field, with lawyers, academics, pundits and even judges introducing blogs of their own. Many of these blogs are interesting, some quite good, and a handful truly useful. But blogs were not the only law-related Web sites started in 2002. Other notable sites debuted, covering topics ranging from Daubert to domestic violence. This column looks at some of the year’s most laudable launches.

Bill Of Rights Pared Down To A Manageable Six

The Fourth Amendment, which long protected citizens’ homes against unreasonable search and seizure, was among the eliminated amendments. Also stricken was the Ninth Amendment, which stated that the enumeration of certain Constitutional rights does not result in the abrogation of rights not mentioned.

“Quite honestly, I could never get my head around what the Ninth Amendment meant anyway,” said outgoing House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX), one of the leading advocates of the revised Bill of Rights. “So goodbye to that one.”

Amendments V through VII, which guaranteed the right to legal counsel in criminal cases, and guarded against double jeopardy, testifying against oneself, biased juries, and drawn-out trials, have been condensed into Super-Amendment V: The One About Trials.

N.C. rep. admits to “segregationist feelings”

Responding to Sen. Trent Lott’s recent comments, Rep. Cass Ballenger told a newspaper he has had “segregationist feelings” himself after conflicts with a black colleague. Friday morning, he went on local radio to say it was a stupid comment to make.

Ballenger, a North Carolina Republican, had said in Friday’s Charlotte Observer that former Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., so provoked him that “I must admit I had segregationist feelings.”

“If I had to listen to her, I probably would have developed a little bit of a segregationist feeling,” Ballenger told the Observer. “But I think everybody can look at my life and what I’ve done and say that’s not true.

“I mean, she was such a bitch,” he said.

And then he tries to cover his ass by saying how what she said made him not like her and stuff like that. Dude, there are better ways to say this kinda stuff.

Bush Administration to Propose System for Monitoring Internet

The Bush administration is planning to propose requiring Internet service providers to help build a centralized system to enable broad monitoring of the Internet and, potentially, surveillance of its users.

Study: Playboy models losing hourglass figures

A study of almost 50 years of Playboy centrefolds has revealed that the characteristic differences between men and women are becoming less pronounced.

Researchers at universities in Canada and Austria compared height, weight, bust, waist and hip measurements of 577 models from issues of the adult magazine dating from 1953 to 2001 and found they had become less shapely and more androgynous.

The findings, published in the latest edition of the British Medical Journal (BMJ), conclude that the trends were at odds with claims that centrefolds’ body shapes were still more “hourglass” than “stick insects.”

A bit of the bizarre hits international goalkeepers

Lionel Letizi just wanted to play a friendly game of Scrabble. Instead, the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper apparently won’t be playing anything for a while.

According to a report in the Bloomberg News, Letizi missed his team’s 1-0 loss to Rennes on Sunday after injuring himself over a round of the board game. He hurt muscles in his back while trying to pick up one of the game’s letter tiles off of the floor.

The team did not reveal the letter on the tile.

Anyone that would come between you and your pals isn’t worth it, in my opinion.

Trent Lott’s Kwanzaa Message to the Nation

Seriously, I would like to wish a Meaningful Kwanzaa to my people and join you in introspective confrontation of self and society from December 26th to January 1st in order to begin to receive and reconstruct our history and our lives, rebuilding a more positive image.

20th Century History Final Now, here’s the horrible inaccuracies. Republicans and Democrats mean different things today than they did then. Democrats were the more socially CONSERVATIVE during the time of the Civil Rights movement. They eventually swung Republican. Lott, Thurmond, many old GOP of today were Democrats back then. They moved when the Dems were becoming more Liberal. So, if this test is an attempt to make the point I’m sure it’s trying to make, it seems to me that the testers have failed their own test.

The Sound and the Fury weblog looks pretty interesting.

Court refuses trial by combat

A court has rejected a 60-year-old man’s attempt to invoke the ancient right to trial by combat, rather than pay a £25 fine for a minor motoring offence.

Leon Humphreys remained adamant yesterday that his right to fight a champion nominated by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) was still valid under European human rights legislation. He said it would have been a “reasonable” way to settle the matter.

Magistrates sitting at Bury St Edmunds on Friday had disagreed and instead of accepting his offer to take on a clerk from Swansea with “samurai swords, Ghurka knives or heavy hammers”, fined him £200 with £100 costs.

That’s no fun!

AOL May Strike Gold with Instant Messaging Patent

Media giant AOL Time Warner has quietly won a U.S. patent for instant messaging (news - web sites), a potential goldmine as the online activity rivals mobile phone text-messaging as the most popular new communication tool.

The patent, issued in September, grants AOL’s instant messaging subsidiary ICQ broad ownership rights to the technology, which enables users to chat quickly and cheaply across the Internet.

The broad wording of the patent means AOL could get an important legal leg up on rivals Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo, the other players in the potentially lucrative instant messaging (IM) arena that have their own proprietary technologies.

So much for creating a cross-program standard.

I like Reenhead. You should too.

After resigning myself to going through yet another semester of not returning to college I made a sudden decision yesterday. It had really been building up. In the summer I was gun ho about getting back into school, but that hinged on my job situation, which hasn’t changed, so school seemed out of the question. But, at the insistance of my grilfriend and a shrink, I went today and applied to go back. Late registration is not until Jan. 3rd and the three internet courses I’m looking at taking each have only ONE opening, so I will be there nice and early and fighting my way through the crowd.

I’m pleased to be going back. Ideally.
