This is a sad story actually of a lady who's 3' 9", takes in a15 year old runaway and solicits the young girl for sex. Here's the, pardon the pun, short write up - Young Teen Runaway's Alleged Pimp To Face Judge
While tragic, I did get a kick from one the neighbor's quote in the article - "I didn't know she was a pimp, but I'm not surprised." All I can say is WOW.
George Carlin, 71, died of heart failure roughly around 9 pm (EDT) last night. I enjoyed most of his work and respected him. He definitely was a pioneer for most comedians and a great satirist.
" Carlin was best known for his routine "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television," which appeared 1972's "Class Clown" album.
When Carlin uttered all seven at a show in Milwaukee in 1972, he was arrested for disturbing the peace, the AP reported. The comedy sketch prompted a landmark indecency case after WBAI-FM radio aired it in 1973.
The case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court where the justices ruled on a 5-to-4 vote that the sketch was "indecent but not obscene," giving the FCC broad leeway to determine what constituted indecency on the airwaves.
"So my name is a footnote in American
legal history, which I'm perversely kind of proud of," Carlin said. "In
the context of that era, it was daring." "
While I do not live in Chernobyl, I might want to pick up the green thumb. See below or chick here for the chart.

Hardly anyone knows that a secret tunnel runs deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. In May 2008, more that a century after it was begun, the tunnel will finally be completed. Immediately afterwards, an extraordinary optical device called a Telectroscope will be installed at both ends which will miraculously allow people to see right through the Earth from London to New York and vice versa.
