Notorious e-mail scam snares Volusia retiree’s nest egg Still, Sessions was so mesmerized by the well-spoken West Africans that to this day he does not think he was scammed. He ignored police warnings that the deal was bogus and instead blames his losses on corrupt foreign governments. He has not filed a complaint with authorities, and he keeps on his coffee table the carved wooden elephant and antelope given to him by his “associates.” “I consider them my friends,” he says. “They’re not criminals.”

Jackson’s the ringmaster “In Return of the King, (hero) Aragorn is giving a stirring speech to the last few remnants of humanity that can stand up against the orcs. It’s the New Zealand army who he’s giving his stirring speech to,” Jackson reveals. “In fact the orcs are also the New Zealand army, so I don’t know quite what that says.”

Hypocrisy rules (from sqlrob)
From GWB’s speech in Nevada: “Free countries don’t develop weapons of mass destruction. Free countries don’t attack their neighbors. Free countries listen to the hopes and aspirations of the people who live in those countries. ” Let’s see… Who was the first country to develop a nuke (OK, so it was wartime, so I won’t really count this one)? Who *just* funded development of smaller nukes for regular use? Who isn’t destroying their chemical weapon stockpile per a signed treaty? Who *just* strengthened the PATRIOT act through clandestine measures, despite all the outcry against it? Who doesn’t allow demonstrators with…

Lewinsky Says Her Past Has Hurt Her Love Life NEW YORK (Reuters) – Monica Lewinsky says her White House liaison is a liability on the dating scene. The intern infamous for her affair with U.S. President Bill Clinton said in the December issue of GQ magazine that she dates occasionally but her romantic relationships have been short-lived. Lewinsky, 30, said in the interview she sympathized with the men she meets, saying she, too, would be intimidated by the tales of her past. “If I were a guy and I’d heard all those things about a girl, I don’t know that…

Won't you be my neighbor?
Ohio suburb designates ‘Hi Neighbor’ nights WORTHINGTON, Ohio (June 21, 2002 10:25 a.m. EDT) – Officials in this Columbus suburb want neighbors to be more neighborly. So they declared Friday and Saturday nights “Hi Neighbor” nights. The City Community Relations Commission posted fliers urging residents to take part in the icebreaker this weekend. The rules are simple: Residents whose addresses are odd numbers are to sit in their front yards from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Friday. Everyone on the other side of the street is to come over and say hello. Then, on Saturday, everybody is to switch sides and…

Text of the teacher’s response In your letter, you write: “It is certainly a shame that a young lady’s life has now been ruined forever and she will be scarred for life.” This is hardly the case. The student would be a very capable student if she would apply herself, study and get her assignments in on time. Instead of being scarred for life, perhaps she will learn these lessons now, rather than when she is in college or in the work force. As far as your threat to litigate this case, do what you must. I do not believe…

Web bugs are bad, m'kay?
There’s a web bug in this post. It was sent from Barnes and Noble to my husband. We decided to poison it. If you’re as annoyed by deceptive marketing as we are, feel free to put this bug in your journal, or anywhere you’d like: <IMG SRC=”http://email.bn.com/cgi-bin6/flosensing?y=Fgh0Cch5S0Bzi1″> Err… what’s a web bug?? Glad you asked! See the gobbledygook in the tag? The “Fgh0Cch5S0Bzi1” part? That means that when Rob opens that email “they” (in this case Barnes and Noble) know that he read it. They could also collect other information, such as the IP address of the computer that fetched…
