"Entrepeneur" Funds His Start-Up With Gambling Revenue Posted by Pile (6259 views) [E-Mail link]
Apparently if there's one thing this entrepreneur likes to do more than run his own software company, it's gamble online. This one is apparently so confident of his gambling prowess, the three employees of his startup company have been playing online poker in lieu of collecting paychecks. Now there's an entrepeneur who will undoubtedly offer little or no risk to investors in his venture. Where do I sign up?

CNN Calls Attention To It's Own Failure To Report News Posted by Pile (6124 views) [E-Mail link]	[News Media]
It's a shame we don't have a "cluelessness" category for this story, but one has to chuckle when CNN runs a story entitled, "Michael Jackson, Does anyone care?" Ironically, CNN like all mainstream media, refuses to recognize that it's not Michael Jackson people don't care about, but the now-marginalized mainstream media, which still can't seem to figure out what is and isn't worthy of being reported.

Entire Mainstream Media Jumps on Geneva Convention Trash-A-Thon Posted by Pile (5801 views) [E-Mail link]
By now, everyone's heard about the UK press publishing pictures of Saddam Hussein in prison in his underwear. The American media is buzzing about this being a horendous act, a violation of the Geneva Convention, and inappropriate... at the same time the American press, being the whores that they are, have re-printed the Saddam-underwear picture themselves. Yes, almost every major news organization has published the picture. I guess all you need is one company to start it, then everybody can do it and it's not the same?

Anti-Abortion Radical Defends His History of Beastiality Posted by Pile (9508 views) [E-Mail link]
You can't make this stuff up people..The other night, anti-abortion extremist Neal Horsley was a guest on The Alan Colmes Show, a FOX News radio program. The topic was over whether or not an internet service provider should allow Horsley to post the names of abortion doctors on his website. Horsley does that as a way of targeting them and one doctor has been killed. In the course of the interview, however, Colmes asked Horsley about his background, including a statement that he had admitted to engaging in homosexual and bestiality sex... according to Horsley (no pun intended), it is normal where he comes from to have sex with mules and other animals and he sees nothing unusual about it.

Anti-Gay Republican Revealed as Gay Child Molester Posted by wizeGurl (9546 views) [E-Mail link]	[Pubic Relations]
Jim West, the fiscally conservative, anti-gay rights, anti-abortion, anti-teen sex Republican mayor of Spokane, Washington has been caught with his hand in the cookie-jockstrap, as he was exposed arranging dates on Gay.com with what he thought was an 18-year-old man, offering him enticements such as trips and an internship to make it seem tempting to go out with a 53-year-old closeted politician. But wait, it's gets better...

Arthur J. Finkelstein, a prominent Republican consultant who has directed a series of hard-edged political campaigns to elect conservatives in the United States and Israel over the last 25 years, said Friday that he had married his male partner, Charlie Manning, in a civil ceremony at his home in Massachusetts. Mr. Finkelstein, 59, who has made a practice of defeating Democrats by trying to demonize them as liberal, said in a brief interview that he had married his partner of 40 years to ensure that the couple had the same benefits available to married heterosexual couples.

Boy Scout Leader Scouted A Little Too Much Posted by Pile (5689 views) [E-Mail link]
A longtime Boy Scouts of America official who directed a national task force to protect children from sexual abuse has been charged with possession and distribution of child pornography. On the bright side, he probably kept a lot of homosexuals and non-Christian heathens from infecting the sanctity of his organization.

CNN Meets Citizen Ruth Posted by Pile (5378 views) [E-Mail link]	[Media]
As the media swirls around and partisian groups line up to take sides over the life (or lack thereof) of this person, the money and lies spread faster than spit on a hot skillet. Am I talking about the Schiavo case or the 1996 movie Citizen Ruth? As far as I can tell it's one and the same. As this media circus continues to grow to embarassingly epic preportions, and the media and republicans harp about the sanctity of Shiavo's life, Sun Hudson, a six-month-old boy with a fatal congenital disease, died Thursday after a Texas hospital, over his mother's objections, withdrew his feeding tube because the mother couldn't pay for the child's treatment. More evidence that truth is stranger than fiction?

Sanctity of Life(tm) as promoted by mainstream media Posted by Pile (5285 views) [E-Mail link]
A popular blog, Hullabaloo has an excellent commentary on the current mainstream-media-circus over this vegetative woman Terri Schiavo whose husband is fighting for the right to put his wife out of her misery. The conservatives have turned this into a big political lightning rod with Texas Republican Tom DeLay calling the proposed termination of life support a form of "medical terrorism". But things are never simple in conserva-land with the towering monolith of insurmountable hypocrisy that bloggers expose...

Apple Sued Over DRM Patent Violation Posted by Pile (8656 views) [E-Mail link]
As companies jockey to stake a claim in the next generation media distribution medium, the current market giant Apple is being sued by a Hong Kong company claiming that their technology violates a US patent on digital rights management. What's also interesting about this issue is that the most comprehensive info currently available is from a blog, but it appears this "blog" is basically Ziff-Davis columnists renaming their byline as a blog. Is that a new trend? Maybe more mainstream media will usurp the "blog" moniker?

Moral Activist Group Peddles Smut Posted by Pile (6255 views) [E-Mail link]
Ever wonder who complains about inappropriate content on television? We've covered this before; there's basically a small group that tends to be responsible for most complaints, and also has a history of distorting the truth to condemn their enemies and make their organization appear more powerful. The Parents Television Council seems to be the almost exclusive source of riling up moralist members of the populace to petition the FCC, but what makes this group so interesting is the fact that their web site features downloadable clips of virtually everything they can find in their never-ending search for questionable material. Did you miss the scene from VH1's Surreal Life where Peter Brady goes to the strip club? Well, the moral watchdogs have it available for download on their site! Why wade through hours of mundane tv to find questionable material when the PTC has it neatly compiled for you!

83-year old dead woman caught sharing mp3s Posted by Pile (8136 views) [E-Mail link]
Gertrude Walton of Fayette County hated computers, her daughter said. That did not stop the recording industry from accusing the now deceased 83-year-old Mount Hope woman of illegally trading music over the Internet. More than a month after Walton was buried in Beckley, a group of record companies named her as the only defendant in a federal lawsuit. They claimed Walton made more than 700 pop, rock and rap songs available for free on the Internet under the screen name �smittenedkitten.�
