Kofi AnusAnnan Goes to Baghdad

So, just when will the payback for stolen oil-for-food begin?

From FOXNews.com:

BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan met with Iraqi leaders to call for reconciliation ahead of upcoming elections, his first visit to the country since the U.S. invasion.

Annan arrived in Baghdad on Saturday and met with Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, Deputy Prime Minister Rowsh Shaways, former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, political and community leaders as well as U.N. staff.

“Reconciliation is absolutely vital in Iraq,” Annan said, adding that the U.N. supported all efforts to bring peace to the country.

Annan’s visit follows similar visits by British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw on Thursday and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday. Both Rice and Straw said they wanted to encourage participation in parliamentary elections scheduled for Dec. 15.

Alligators in the Sewers, Part IV

I think this is just a publicity stunt by Steve Irwin, Australian celebrity reptile expert, who thinks it’s OK to dangle his infant child in the proximity of a dangerous crocodile.

From the Daily Breeze: Reggie faces trouble from Down Under croc-catcher

“Crikey, mate!” That Reggie better watch his back now.

TV’s famous Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, came to town Tuesday and spent nearly two hours poking around Reggie’s watery digs in Harbor City’s Machado Lake.

Looking ready for action in his trademark khaki shorts and boots, the celebrity known for his fearless and often zany antics in stalking and capturing all manner of dangerous snakes, crocodiles and alligators gazed calmly across the lake under gloomy, overcast morning skies, in search of the elusive 6-foot alligator.

From the Sydney Morning Herald: Steve Irwin baby concerns prompt law change

Steve Irwin’s decision to hold his baby son near a crocodile has sparked a review of Queensland Government crocodile enclosure guidelines.

The State Government yesterday released the new rules prohibiting children and any untrained adult from entering crocodile enclosures.

In January last year, Mr Irwin, known as the Crocodile Hunter, held his baby son Bob close to a crocodile at his Australia Zoo on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

The incident was captured by television cameras, sparking an international outcry and a review of crocodile handling practices.

This doofus just happens to be in town to appear on Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien shows. Hollywood Access apparently tipped Irwin about Reggie, and (of course) he jumped at the chance.

Best Reason Yet to Vote FOR 74, 75, 76, 77

Because Gray Davis is against them.

From the Sacramento Bee:

WASHINGTON – Former Gov. Gray Davis said Friday that he opposes the ballot measures that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is stumping for as part of his reform agenda . . .

We voted this buffoon Davis out of office because of his poor judgement and total botching of the State’s affairs. Governor Schwarzenegger is merely doing the things he was elected to do. Davis missed the point on these new issues, just as he missed the mark on nearly every responsibility he had as governor. It’s not surprising to me that Davis continues to be obtuse on matters that just make sense.

Ostrich – Head in the Sand?

Nope – head up her ass.

Susan Estridge appearing on Bill O’Reilly‘s program sounded ever so non-intellectual as she foundered on questions about Hillary Clinton’s presidential qualifications. Estridge has her head so far up her ass she has to breathe through her twat. Maybe that’s why she looks the way she does. Between her outrageous performance as a panelist on Fox Election Coverage, her have-a-poison-apple-dearie voice and her botoxed out, scaring-the-animals face, I wonder why Fox News Channel continues to retain her services. She usually gets the mute button in our house so as not to break Damsel‘s Crystal.

UK Court Imposes Soft Sentences for Cybercriminals

Apparently, UK courts don’t take $9.6 million in damages as seriously as the US, and even then it’s way too lenient in the US as well. From PCWorld .com (emphasis added):

LONDON — Two British men who pleaded guilty to charges they helped create the “TK worm” were sentenced to prison Friday in Newcastle Crown Court. The worm infected thousands of computers, including two owned by the Department of Defense.

Jordan Bradley, a 22-year-old electrician, was sentenced to three months imprisonment and Andrew Harvey received six months, according to the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU). Harvey is 23 years old and unemployed. Both men were part of the international hacking gang called the Thr34t Krew (TK).

From the same article:

A U.S. man, Raymond Paul Steigerwalt, was sentenced to 21 months in prison in May in connection with the Thr34t Krew, and ordered to pay $12,000 in restitution to the DOD. Steigerwalt, 21, was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit fraud and one count of possession of child pornography.

Cyberpunks like these guys ought to receive a penalty suitable for the crime – they caused almost ten million dollars in damages – if I were legislating penalties to cover these crimes, I would impose a minimum of 10 years in prison. If i were the judge applying the sentence I would administer the maximum penalty under the law. How the hell else will the potential thousands of these types of criminals be deterred?
