 While this looks innocent enough, it's actually a thinly disguised provincial cash-grab, placing all the power in the hands of the police officer in question. Think about it....You are required by law, to hand over the keys to your vehicle IMMEDIATELY upon request, because you are being TOLD emphatically you are "guilty" of the alleged speed. Under normal circumstances, you would be issued a citation, sent on your way, and given the option of pleading your case in a court of law. Because remember, you are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. Now, you have to soley rely on the honesty of the police officer dictating your speed. In the meantime, until the day comes when you get to plead your case before a judge, you've contributed a few thousand dollars of your heard-earned money to the province's nestegg.

 

 This is not only a hypocritical proposition, it's outright dangerous.

 

 Because the stakes are now financially higher, I think even MORE people are going to pull what could have remained a simple traffic stop, into a high-speed chase. If the province was REALLY serious about catching speeders and dangerous drivers, they'd impliment the same program that some police agencies have already done in the United States: Include a small fleet of hypersport motorcycles to their arsonal, with officers trained how to ride them. With some of those bikes sparking 185 horsepower at the rear wheel (And that's STOCK, people...), maybe the kids on the GSX-R bikes and Honda Civics wouldn't be so apt to engage in a dogfight, they know they'll undoubtably lose.

 

 But then again, such a solution isn't a "cash-grab".

 

 Food for thought.

 

 

 

 2007's Top Ten Things Overheard At Tank's Bunker.....

 

 10.) "Does this MRE taste expired to you?"

 

 9.) "Of COURSE reception is bad. We're a thousand feet underground!"

 

 8.) "Thirty minutes or it's free? Let's test that theory!"

 

 7.) "Does this bulky, orange radation suit make my ass look fat?"

 

 6.) "Never mind World War Three. Thanks to Tank's homemade chili, we've re-defined the term "chemical warfare"!"

 

 5.) "Is that a missle in your silo? Or are you just happy to see me..."

 

 4.) "Stop whining! A little post-Cold War asbestos never killed anybody!"

 

 3.) "Enjoying a tactical manual beneath the glow of fosforecent green paint, makes for great bedtime reading!"

 

 2.) "Does Home Depot make wall anchors, that will penetrate 13 feet of concrete?

 

 And the number one thing overheard at Tank's bunker is.....

 

 "Enjoy the complimentary cyanide capsules on your pillow!"
 

 
 

 

I hear the food's great! The state fits right in with our....*AHEM*...."cultural leanings".....AND it would save us from building the thing from scratch.

"Hearing voices"...."Psychiatric incarceration"...."Threatening the family of a POLICE OFFICER"!!!!!

 

OMG.....Someone get me a life preserver. I think I just say the Vegas D.A.'s case floating down the river.

 

So for those of you that aren't keep track, that's TWO multiple-convited felons on the side of the D.A.. One of which, with a history of Schizophrenia, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. The third potential "witness", should he even be brazen enough to take the stand, will undoubtably have to testify as to why he had stolen merchandise in his posession, and why he was conducting an illegal aution of said goods. Which, although I'm not a lawyer, I'm assuming just might affect his credibility somewhat.

 

Hey JUICE! What do you got to say to all this?

 

"Bring it on, B@#CH!!!!!!!!!" :)

 You have to give it up to the educational bigwigs at Columbia U. Were I a member on their board of directors, I'm not so sure I would be willing to trade in our status, as one of the country's most prestigious educational institutions, for that of a political sideshow. Even for only one day.

 If you were one of the students waiting in haste for the arrival of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, make no mistake, "His Idiocy" certainly did not disappoint. And proved, one again, that the concept of "freedom of speech", can just as easily work AGAINST you, as it can for you.

 

 I'll say this much....You have to wonder about a country that toots this kind of individual, as the pinnacle of Iranian, intellectual aristocracy. Were he to exist in any other free nation of the world, he would most likely be doing so encased in a padded room, in leather restraints, and on a permanent Thorazine drip. Because clearly, this man doesn't reside in the same, cognitive world as everyone else. Upon listening to this man for even a cursory amount of time, with his incoherent ramblings, selective memory, and his inability to stay on topic, one almost wishes he WERE insane. As that would medically explain his incomprehensible behavior.  He's like the "Hugo Chavez" of the Middle East (Yet ANOTHER glorified dictating nut job with a small penis.).

 

 As hard as it is for the rational thinking person to digest this notion, as free nations, we are OBLIGATED to allow people of this magnitude the privilege, of speaking both freely and publicly. Especially those as fanatically opposed to our lifestyles as Ahmadinejad is. It greatly benefits us, by serving multiple purposes. By bestowing upon those such a privilege, even those who radically, and even in some instances, violently oppose us, it demonstrates the courage of Constitutional convictions. We truly believe what we say. It's not just a catchphrase scrawled on a piece of parchment, hanging in a museum somewhere. It also permits the infamous speaker enough time, to put their foot in their mouth. Which they inevitably do (Try and count just how many times Ahmadinejad has done this. It's immeasurable). Why waste time arguing with a sociopath? Give them enough rope, they'll hang themselves. Reminds me of that old proverb, "It is better to keep quiet and be thought of as a fool, than to speak right out, and erase all doubt.".

 Those were some pretty disparaging remarks you made at the Emmys, towards Jesus Christ and followers of his faith. Being the self-described athiest you claim to be, I bet you thought they were rather funny.

 

 Know what's even MORE funny?????

 

 *Wait for it....Wait for it*.............

 

 

 

 

 

 Being caught by those SAME people.....WEARING A CROSS. :)

 Is there anyone in this entire "O.J." saga BESIDES O.J. HIMSELF, that can keep their story straight?

 

 This whole scenairo stinks, like five day old fish in a Chi-town alleyway. How any state  prosecutor worth their law degree, could listen to these glorifed idiot thieves recount the "facts", of their obvious bungled attempt at criminal entrampment, and  STILL find it in themselves to proceed foward with a case, is beyond any logical comprehension. Especially under the circumstances in which they were peddling the obviously "fenced" goods. Which one of said parties has already alluded to them being (but still didn't stop him from wanting to posess), and would explain why the "legitimate auction" was being conducted unannounded, within the confines one a single hotel room. First they say the goods are stolen, they're they're not, then again, YES, they are, in fact stolen. But then were honestly "going to return them" to O.J. themself. Blah, blah, blah....Hey guys...."Crime 101".....If you want to maintain a credible and palpable defense if caught, you need to do two things....1) Agree upon a story beforehand...And 2.) STICK WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED STORY IF CAUGHT, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. It's not rocket science, man. But then again, nobody is accusing these guys of being rocket scientists.

 

 It's interesting to note Alfred Beardsley (himself a convicted felon, just recently arrested for parole violation) suddenly wants the entire fiasco to just "go away". It's further interesting to note, he claims to have an ongoing friendship with Simpson, lasting over twenty years. Which Simpson denies outright. So in addition to a convicted felon, he may also be a liar. Not much of a stretch there, folks. To futher complicate matters, the Goldman's lawyer want to use this man as a witness in a civil suit against Simpson. Does this lawyer walk on water as well? All I got to say is, good luck with that. The phrase "can of worms" immediately comes to mind.

 

 As for Bruce Formong, the alleged rightful owner of said O.J. merchandise, I'm curious to know exactly WHY such a legitimate auction was being conducted under the murky circumstances with which it was being done.  In it's entire history, I've never heard of any auction being conducted in a single hotel room, unadvertised to the general public, with only one person available to bid on the items. Illegal drug sales? YES. Sports memorbilia? No. But HEY! It is Vegas, right? Like desert burials sans tombstones, maybe that's the norm there.
