Here's another goodie
Texas billionaire Oscar Wyatt should serve 18 to 24 months in prison for bribing Iraqi oil officials, prosecutors in the United Nations oil-for-food case say.
On Oct. 1, 83-year-old Wyatt pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. He could have received life in jail if he had been convicted. In a court filing yesterday, prosecutors urged U.S. District Judge Denny Chin in New York to uphold a plea deal in which Wyatt agreed to as much as two years in jail. Sentencing is set for today.
The prosecution said Wyatt, founder of oil company Coastal Corp., paid Iraq millions outside of a 1996 UN relief program that allowed Iraq to use oil revenue to buy food and medicine.
My goodness gracious isn't it interesting what billionaires can buy? He's probably contributed millions to several talking heads in DC. Wonder how much to W's fund?

They're Busting the Friggin Doors
Just an example of about 20 junk emails I've received this morning. Incredible in-store specials. I may be a bit cynical but what's so friggin special about this stuff. It's still stuff! Americans will bust the doors of as many stores as possible tomorrow. (Black Friday) Even my family has a member that will go and crowd and push and shove until she's totally exhausted just to buy, buy, by, bye, bye....
The other wonderment that I saw this morning is a page full of links that take me to the online "secret specials". Secret my duff. If it's online there's nothing secret about it. I love it. The internet makes one think that you are the only one on line. Man oh man, I gotta get there and the plastic starts a-smokin'. Are there any people out there who are becoming a bit tired of the constant bombardment of this commercial junk? I sure wish I'd want to be part of the door bustin'. Sure I do, NOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

Jackson's postgame comments get NBA's attention
NEW YORK -- The NBA has spoken with the Los Angeles Lakers about a sexual reference coach Phil Jackson made in a comment following Tuesday night's game in San Antonio.
The Spurs made 13 3-pointers in their 107-92 victory, and Jackson was asked if too much penetration was leading to open outside shooters.
"We call this a 'Brokeback Mountain' game, because there's so much penetration and kickouts," Jackson said. "It was one of those games.".......
.................The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation also issued a statement condemning the remarks."
Sorry folks, but if the gays and lesbians are so damn proud of their sexual orientation then why in hell are they so sensitive about people making remarks about them. Tough nuggies! This country is too damn sensitive and every sensitive group has an active bitching support group. Lighten up folks.....
