This is the sort of thing that makes it worth getting up in the morning...
Woman claims Spitzer call girl stole her identityDupre has said she was only 17 when she signed a contract to appear in the "Girls Gone Wild" video.
The video displays a New Jersey driver's license in the name of Amber Arpaio and a birth date that would have made her appear to be in her 20s.
Arpaio, 26, of Sussex County, cannot recall where she lost the license and doesn't know Dupre, although the women have similar faces, said Arpaio's lawyer, Joseph J. Fell.

I have returned...
2 days, 20 hours in the car, 9 states, 1 hotel, *mumble* tanks of gas, 2.25 audio books later... I am home.
Will likely post something informative when I'm slightly less crispy and the car is unloaded.

RIP George
I was greatly saddened to learn of the passing of George Carlin this morning. A huge influence in my early life, I've been a Carlin fan since before I was allowed to listen to him. I've seen him live a couple of times and he was always funny. I was contemplating getting tickets to see him at the North Shore Music Theater after I returned from my trip. Now, the point is moot.
George Carlin will be missed.

A win for Gay Marriage
California Supreme Court overturns gay marriage ban
I firmly believe gay couples have as much right to be miserable as straight couples.
Now, for all you anti-gay marriage folks out there. I offer this compromise: Allow gay couples to marry, but they aren't allowed to divorce.
And for the rest of you I offer this:

They say Spitzer was blind to his own shortcomings.
Whereas his successor is just blind.

The great LJ purge
Hey, it's other people's rules, I don't have to deal with them. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be dropping people off my friends list. Doesn't mean I don't like you. Doesn't even mean I don't like what you have to say. Might just mean I'm in a pissy mood and you've been dropped.
I've made this post public and screened. If you're that much into my blathering and I've dropped you from the f-list, lemme know. Hey, it might have even been a mistake.
And in a week, I may add everyone back on. Who the hell knows.
EDIT: It appears that I'm not going to drop anyone after all. But this post is still public so those of you are weren't on my friends list to begin with, this is a chance to say hello and introduce yourselves.
To the rest of you... quit the begging, it's unbecoming. "No, no, don't drop me from your friends list. Your insights on hybrid cars and middle aged athletes make my day complete." Thus far... nobody's really said that. But I do manage to distract people from dealing with their "jobs".
But really, if you want to waste the day, try Wikipedia. You can lose an entire day following links and learn something more important than the Bruins average against teams in their conference when leading by 3 goals on a Tuesday when the outside temperature is below 40 degrees but pre... nevermind. (I stopped posting about that, but if you look at least year... I'm such a dork.)
Oh, and sorry to anyone I upset with my various rants throughout their journals today. And anyone else who was upset by said rants who was unfortunate enough to read them.

Whooosh!
Sometimes, when I flush the toilet, and then I turn on the faucet, it bothers me a little that the sounds of the toilet slow down.
Today, I realized it would bother me more if it sped up.

Disturbing news in the terror front
I dunno if anyone else saw this, but I hate waking up to this stuff. Especially on a day like President's Day:
At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a Public School teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a T-square, a slide rule, and a calculator.
At a morning press conference, Attorney General Michael Mukasey said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.
"Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," Mukasey said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns,' but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'There are 3 sides to every triangle.'"
When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes."

Wrastlin!
This evening, since I had not a whole lot to do, I went to go see a local pro-wrestling promotion.
Now, for those who don't give a rat's ass about pro-wrestling and are just going to make jokes... please skip to a different entry in someone else's journal. I care not for your judgment. Fuck off.
For the stage combat junkies I know... feel free to skip to the end of the post.
For those of you who care very little up to a whole lot, I will explain that before Vince McMahon built his global wrestling empire now known as the WWE, there were regional promotions. Wrestlers often times jumped between these promotions and sometimes, these promotions worked together to create bigger shows (see the National Wrestling Alliance as an example).
Well, smaller promotions still exist. Young men and women get to ply their trade and attempt to get noticed. Many of the big stars you see today (such as John Cena) came out of smaller, New England promotions.
One such promotion is New England Championship Wrestling. I've got a personal bias toward this company because I am friends with one of the owners and many people involved in the promotion. I went to one of their shows Saturday night and it was a lot of fun. If you are a fan of pro-wrestling at all, I suggest hitting a local promotion, particularly this one (they are in Quincy every 6 weeks or so), and get a feel for wrestling, close-up and personal with no re-play, slo motion, or announcers. It has a very different feel to it.
And for those who are not so much into pro-wrestling, you might still have fun. For the stage combat junkies out there who I know, this is another form of that particular art form. They too must tell a story, sell the fight, make it look real, and do so in the round, an they must do this for any length of time between 2 minutes and 60 minutes. And they have to keep it fresh.
And for those of my friends who like girl-on-girl action, I can recommend their sister promotion World Women's Wrestling.
(Yes, this has been another shameless plug.)

FBI trying to identify child
So, some time back I stuck myself on an FBI mailing list. I get information about FBI's most wanted, etc.
Today, the FBI is trying to identify a the body of a child found in a dumpster in Houston, TX in 2003.
Before I like to it, I will warn you that it does show a picture of the deceased boy which may disturb some. If you think you might be able to help, click here. The pictures are at the bottom so it's possible to read the text without looking at the pictures.
If you pass this on, please include the link so people get the latest updates from the FBI site. Don't turn this into an e-mail pain in the ass.
