Boner

via The Sun Online:

    SALESMAN Richard Carter fears he's facing the sack — after struggling with a SEVEN-YEAR erection.

    Richard, 34, developed the rare condition priapism after taking panic attack medication.

    It left his manhood almost constantly stiff and he needed EIGHT hospital operations to reduce it.

    Richard's bulge also left him in agony as he drove vans selling fire extinguishers for Chubbs.

    He was forced to take so much time off that bosses have told him they may need to “reassess” whether he can still work for them as an on-the-road salesman.

    Richard, from Holbrooks, Coventry, claims he's been threatened with redundancy and offered a pay-off of just ten weeks' wages — despite ten YEARS' service.

    He said: “Some may think it's good to have an erection for that long, but I was often in terrible pain. I had to wear knee-length coats in summer to hide it, yet people at work thought it was a joke.”

"Some may think it's good to have an erection for that long"... really? Who thinks that?

Debates

Why on earth would I watch a debate 17 months ahead of the elections ? North Carolina's primaries are in May - too late to make a different - so i really have no reason to pay attention until the final two candidates have been chosen.

We have a terribly stupid election system.

Innocuous Info

In an article about the new regulations limiting military bloggers, we find this little interesting fact:

    Outside of technology, Maj. Ceralde cited an example of how "innocuous" bits of information can give a snapshot of a bigger picture. He described how the Pentagon parking lot had more parked cars than usual on the evening of Jan. 16, 1991, and how pizza parlors noticed a significant increase of pizza to the Pentagon and other government agencies. These observations are indicators, unclassified information available to all, Maj. Ceralde said. That was the same night that Operation Desert Storm began.

See Bobby, for the negative of this.
