Bernard Ebbers, the former Chief Executive Office of WorldCom, was convicted of engineering the largest corporate fraud totaled more than 11 billion dollars today in New York.
He will be sentenced to the prison for as long as 85 years.
Pretty much, he is the typical hearie you'd see on a daily basis. To top it all, he is practicing audism which is pretty much permissible in the hearing world.
Among the excerpts that he made during the trial was:
"Let me ask you something -- am I talking too loud? Deaf people have a tendency to talk too loud."
Thank God Bernard Ebbers is going to rot in the prison.

M3+L1 = Disaster in South Beach
I was horrified to learn that M3 (Mark, Merritt and Manny) in addition with L1 (Lee) are descending to South Beach for the Spring Break this week.
South Beach is not prepared to handle the chemistry of M3L1. I wish I could be there to observe how the town handled 4 dynamic persons to wreck the town.
Hell, the weight of 4 persons arriving SoBe may be too much for them as Florida will finally snap into the ocean.
Have fun blitz the SoBe, Mark, Merritt, Manny and Lee. Be sure, do not take any prisoners.

Enemy Combatants
Many conservatives and Republicans claimed that the Al-Qaeda members are not protected under the Geneva Conventions because they did not fight for a government or a country. In other words, once they signed up with the Al Qaeda, they forfeited their citizenship or the birthright of their country. Then the Bush Administration coined a word, "Enemy Combatant" which totally put them in a position that the Geneva Conventions cannot apply at all.
This permitted our government to play around the rules to torture and imprison the people. They do not have to provide the legal counsel nor to provide the reasons why they are there. None at all.
The ACLU was right to argue in the courts that every person has the right to defend themselves, even if they hated us. That is the true American principle, we try to shine ourselves in good light that despite the fact they fought us, we still fight back with justice and honor. They may play dirty, but we can play dirty with honest, justice and honorable tactics. From the ACLU's perspective, every person, citizen or non-citizen, has the right to have a trial. That is universal right, regardless the Muslims, Communists, Americans or Russians does not like it or not.
When the court rulings finally indicated that the enemy combatants in Gitmo Bay has the right to have the trial, the Bush Administration is contacting with different countries to transfer the enemy combatants away from the American courts. Why? The administration does not want the enemy combatants to have their time in the courts. They just want to capture, kill, torture and lock them -- never to be seen again. They try to view the people who fight against us as less than humans. They are not.
I thought the Americans has a pride in having honor, justice and the truth? Not any longer.
For 200 years, the world looked at Americans as a place to uphold the truth, justice and freedom to all. Why do you think the French made the Statue of Liberty with a torch? It is very symbolic -- to lighten the darkness with justice, freedom, truth and honor. But over the years, it seemed to me that things do change, especially with the capitalistic society where money is important than an ordinary person.
Hell, my parents thought the property value is more important than the neighbor across the street -- you see, my father showed me the property value 3 years before the African American couple moved in across the street and the property value a year after. The property value decreased! Even with the fact that this African American couple took care of their house 1,568,431 times better than the previous couple who are caucasians. I wondered why. My father said, "Know why? The government looks at n***** skin first. Do not care if they good people. Skin equals money. Government interested first: MONEY, not people." But I digress.
The attitude is now, "As long as they are not Americans, fuck 'em. Not my problem."
I guaranteed that with the notion, it will only enrage the people who hated us and it will give them plenty of incentives to undermine the democracy growth around the world.
We have to acknowledge that everyone else has the right to have the trial even if they inflict the barbaric attacks on us. We cannot capture the persons, fly them all over the world, torture them and detain them for years without a cause or a trial. We cannot do that, it is not honorable thing to do.
Certainly not a Christian thing to do.
Certainly very inhumane thing to do. We are no better than Osama bin Laden and his friends.

Robert E. Lee and Spotswood
Category: Sports
In Staunton, less than a mile away from my alma mater, VSDB, lies a high school named Robert E. Lee. Its students are not the ones I want to befriend -- extremely condescending and assholes at its best. But they have the best boys basketball coach in the state in Paul Hatcher. Hell, he is still coaching in his own gymnasium that was named after him!
Paul is very classy person. Last year, they needed two games to fill in their schedule -- many schools refused to play Lee because they were too powerful, so Paul asked VSDB to fill in. VSDB had nothing to lose but to gain the experience of playing the state's most powerful boys' basketball team. Suffice to say, both games were lopsided in favor of Lee, but when one VSDB player had a thunderous dunk at Lee High -- the gymnasium, my friend told me, nearly exploded with loud, raucous ovation because they loved seeing a deaf guy dunking on a Lee player.
When I read the article of lopsided games, Paul has nothing but praises for VSDB's courage -- that is pretty humbling of him to do that.
Last weekend, Robert E. Lee completed the season at 31-0 including winning the 2nd consecutive state AA championship. I believe it is Paul's fifth or sixth or was it ninth? I cannot remember.
But what amused me the most is ... Spotswood High School of nearby Harrisonburg also won the state AA Championship in Girls Basketball.
I believe it is the first time that two teams from the same district won the state championship in both genders. I'm not sure.
I was surfing the local newspaper -- and I was amused that they even had a blog to monitor the championship game last Saturday night!
Congratulations, Lee and Spotswood.
But Virginia is for haters.

Stuff For You To Ponder
Postcards: I sent three postcards out today to three lucky readers of mine. It should arrive in 3 to 4 days. Enjoy the scenic view of New York!
Coach Gillen FIRED: UVa Athletic Director Craig Littlepage listened to my advice and Coach Pete Gillen is fired. Now, I am pinning for UVa to convince Rick Barnes to UVa in time for a new arena to unveil in May, 2005!
Califunny: California will never be the place for X-ians, conservatives or Republicans. The County Superior Court of San Francisco ruled that the gay marriage ban is unconstitutional. Hey X-ian wackos, filthy conservatives and dumb Republicans, you cannot discriminate a person of their right to marry -- period. You do not have the right to justify your hocus pocus beliefs on others. None at all.
X-ian Killings: When I heard of a guy killing 7 people before turning on himself -- I rolled my eyes and muttered, "They deserved it." When I heard that the Minister preached that the endtimes were coming sooner than we think -- little did he know that it was his, not ours. Good riddance, say HI to whoever sees you in afterlife and make sure that the door did not hit your ass on your way out.
Tax Time! I gotta do this thing.
Spring, Please Come! I'm so ready for the spring! I'm tired of bitter cold with winds. Argh. And the weather channel said that snow is slated to hit New York again on Friday. Please!
Men's NCAA? Who do I root for? Gonzaga! I love the way they play. I might root for West Virginia because I think Bellein and Gansey are hot. But never Duke.
Is GW Bush Coward? I heard of it before from different sources but this was not surprising at all. If it was GW Bush's people that did this, they needed to be mentioned that it is NONE of their business if people wants to put up a poster that criticized GW Bush. If they can do that on Clinton, so can they with Bush. What a crybaby.
Support the Soldiers! This is the reason why I hated the military. Look at them. They lowered themselves to the level of Al Qaeda barbarians. They are not there to protect us, they are there to amuse themselves with the barbaric killings. So much for their "conservative, christian and family values"! I am willing to bet that the particular Marine slut will find a way to justify this that God gave them the right to amuse themselves -- hell, let's make a pornography video out of these dead bodies!!
Cheers,

Girls Do Not Care, But Boys Care!
This poster is fucking cool. George Lucas seems to have a great grasp of darkness in art but sucked in storytelling (well, a little). When I see the emergence of Darth Vader in his cape -- I got the goosebumps.

Boston Legal With A Twist
Just watched Boston Legal for 40 minutes before I was distracted with the cats' melodramatic (it turned out that someone was at the door) behavior. Since I lacked the doorbell flash, the cats became the reliable source for me to figure out what's going on -- if Tom, Perlis' cat, zoomed into the closet, it means someone is at the door! If Woody, Lenny's cat, zoomed under my bed, it means Lenny is home. But this time, someone knocked so hard that both cats zoomed into the closet -- both does not like to touch each other so they bounced into each other and ended up tussled with each other.
After dealing with a neighbor upstairs, I ran back only to see the closing credits. I missed the ending part. Anyone else?
Boston Legal had a story that knocked around on FOX NEWS, but they never mentioned it. What happened is that a student at a public high school decided to sue the principal for using the gizmo technology that prevented the school from receiving the news transmission from all channels except for one conservative news channel.
It had to be FOX NEWS. But of course, it never mentioned at all. But the brilliant part of the story is that they brought the principal to take the stand in the court. That Principal is the same guy that used to act as the Principal of high school in FOX's Boston Public which folded few years ago!
Basically, the story was aiming at FOX NEWS but in a discrete manner. Let's see if the FOX can come up with the slam on ABC someday.
Too bad, I missed the ending part. Oy vey.
