Finnish Foreign Minister Ilkka Kanerva was forced to quit his job on Tuesday after he admitted bombarding a stripper with mobile phone text messages of a sexual nature, his party announced on Tuesday.
The word you're looking for is probably "salacious."
The conservative National Coalition Party appointed Alexander Stubb, a 40-year-old member of the European parliament, as his successor, after weeks of speculation about Kanervas private life and his political future.
Stubb. Rhymes with "Schlubb."
Party leader Jyrki Katainen finally withdrew his support for Kanerva on Tuesday, saying the SMS scandal had tainted the foreign ministers credibility. Kanerva has not kept his promise to not let his private life interfere with his political life, Katainen told reporters in Helsinki.
"Illka, put that thing back in your striped pants and shuddup!"
Kanerva, 60,
"You're 60 years old, fergawdsake! Not 16!"
had made headlines for several weeks after he sent around 200 text messages to 29-year-old erotic dancer Johanna Tukiainen, whom he met at the end of January, and her sister.
"Hello, miss! I'm the foreign minister of Finland!"
"Hello! I'm a stripper! These are my breasts! Wanna see me strip?"
The minister had repeatedly denied sending the messages,
"Nope. Nope. Never happened."
but finally admitted to doing so on March 10 on the sidelines of an EU summit in Brussels.
"[Sob!] I confess! I dunnit!"
The gossip magazine Hymy on Tuesday published 24 of his SMS messages, some of which contained flirtatious and sexually suggestive content.
"Don't read them, Ethel!... Ethel?"
Kanerva, a father of two daughters, made no public statements on Tuesday. The foreign ministry said he was on sick leave and his programme has been cancelled.
"I ain't comin' to work today. I'm sick."
"That's what the stripper told us!"

I hear they have an opening for Lieutenant Governor in the state of New York. Seems like he'd fit right in.

It's a suprisingly recurrent theme of Swedish and Norwegian fiction how their mid-level, middle-aged beureaucrats and politicians spend most of their time trying to bed their lower-ranking colleagues.

SAN FRANCISCO Marine biologists studying wild octopuses have found a kinky and violent society of jealous murders, gender subterfuge and once-in-a-lifetime sex. . . . and that was before they left San Francisco.

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Try the veal, it's delicious.

FORMULA One motor racing chief Max Mosley is today exposed as a secret sado-masochist sex pervert. The son of infamous British wartime fascist leader Oswald Mosley is filmed romping with five hookers at a depraved NAZI-STYLE orgy in a torture dungeon. Mosley a friend to F1 big names like Bernie Ecclestone and Lewis Hamilton barks ORDERS in GERMAN as he lashes girls wearing mock DEATH CAMP uniforms and enjoys being whipped until he BLEEDS.
Preparing to run for Governor of New York?
The word you're looking for is probably "depraved."
His comment and yours are not incompatible ...
The multi-millionaire son of Sir Oswald, who was a pal of Adolf Hitler, plays a concentration camp commandant in a FIVE-HOUR torture chamber video. Mosleythe most powerful man in motor-racingbarks orders in German as he WHIPS two hookers dressed in striped uniforms reminiscent of AUSCHWITZ garb while girls in Nazi uniforms look on. At one point the wrinkled 67-year-oldwho publicly likes to give the impression he has put his father's evil legacy behind himyells "she needs more of ze punishment!" while brandishing a LEATHER STRAP over a brunette's naked bottom. Then the lashes rain down as Mosley counts them out in German: "Eins! Zwei! Drei! Vier! Fünf! Sechs!" With each blow, the girl yelps in pain as grinning, grey-haired Mosley becomes clearly aroused. And after the beating, he makes her perform a sex act on him.
Last month the urbane president of the FIAFormula One's governing bodyhit the headlines when he announced a crackdown on racism in the sport after McLaren ace Lewis Hamilton was abused by Spanish spectators. But on Friday the only crackdowns' married Mosley was interested in were on bare buttocks...including his own. Before hammering away at the girls he plays a cowering death camp inmate himself, having his GENITALS inspected and his hair searched for LICEmocking the humiliating way Jews were treated by SS death camp guards in World War II. Then, head bowed and tied up in chains, he is interrogated by a dominatrix before being chained up and LASHED so hard over a TORTURE BENCH that he WHIMPERS for mercy and has to have a wound dressing put on his backside.

OMFG. I can't believe you made me read the whole thing. Does this have something to do with 4/1? :-)

Max's aunt Unity Mitford was also a devoted Nazi. After Britain declared war on Germany in 1939, she sent a farewell letter to Hitler and shot herself in the head with the pearl-handled pistol the German leader had given her as a gift. She died of her injuries several years later.

"I have often been called a Nazi, and, although it is unfair, I don't let it bother me. I don't let it bother me for one simple reason. No one has ever had a sexual fantasy about being tied to a bed and ravished by a liberal." -- PJ O'Rourke
It seems Max Mosley took those words to heart.

"Mosleythe most powerful man in motor-racing..."
maybe, but at least in the US I seriously doubt it. review the TV ratings for any F1 parade vs. a good ol' NASCAR ass-kicking short track race.
I think the name 'France" is one that should go in that sentence.
For Steve: I would rather watch an all Lawn Dart airshow than a F1 slot track 'race'.....

ION, WAFF.com SCI-TECH > SCIENTISTS HOPE TO REVERSE ENGINEER A CHICKEN BACK INTO A DINOSAUR.
D *** NG IT, WE DEMAND GODZILLA = NOSTRADAMUS "HIDEOUS BEAST SEEN NEAR ORGON" [Satan] TO REALLY WALK THE EARTH AND REALLY TRASH TOKYO, GAMERA, MOTHRA, etal.!? Iff we can save the Earth by destroying the Sun, then we can save Traditional Hollywood = Dinosaur Big Cinema-Theater by destroying the Earth = perverting Life, you betcha boy.
Can't these idiots stop trying to make our civilization look like some sort of bad horror b-movie? For five minutes? What they want is something that's technically human but legally can be treated like an animal, and frankly that's something I think is antithetical to our civilization.

A voluntary program in Idaho for residents to raise funds and work with the maker of Buck brand name knives to honor veterans returning from the defense of the U.S. apparently has been torpedoed by military administrative rules regarding the value of gifts.
And the command wasn't sitting well with both members and leaders of the community near Post Falls, where Buck has its corporate headquarters. "Who's in charge here anyway? Dumb and Dumber?" asked "davenjan" on a forum page in the Coeur d'Alene Press.
Clay Larkin, the Post Falls mayor, said the decision was senseless. "I would like to know what top-ranking brass made this decision, and I will personally call them and share my thoughts!" he told the newspaper.
The program was launched about three years ago as Graham Crutchfield, a retired Marine, organized the plan to raise money from individuals, service clubs and businesses and work with the company on the commemorative knife program. More than 500 veterans from the region, including those wounded in combat, have been given the knives since 2005, officials said. They also have been presented to family members of those killed in action.
But then, the newspaper reported, an unidentified senior Navy officer told Troy Gilbert, a member of a Hayden, Idaho-based Mobile Construction Battalion, since the value of the knives was more than $20, members of the military were banned from accepting them, the newspaper said.
Members of the Navy's Judge Advocate General's staff in nearby Washington state deferred a WND request for comment to the Washington headquarters. Officials there did not return messages requesting a comment.
But the Post Falls mayor was more than a little upset. "I cannot believe what I read this morning about the Navy balking at their seamen receiving a gift from their communities for their service. Where has reality gone?" he said.
"I was in on the first Buck Knife giveaway for the 116th, Charlie Co. National Guard when they came back from Iraq," he continued. "Graham Crutchfield helped me on the fundraising. The looks on their faces when we presented the knives were priceless. Buck Knives employees have come forward and been a major supporter of the project, and I thank them for their involvement!"
He noted an "interesting part" of the argument is that two generals already have been given and accepted the knives, "and never has anyone questioned the presentation or the gift for their service," he said.
Paul Abschier, a World War II vet, told the newspaper. "It's the stupidest thing I've heard of. They've put their lives on the line and they can't receive a knife?"
"As a retired lieutenant colonel judge advocate general Army Reserve officer, it is my opinion that gifts exceeding a monetary value of $20 may be kept if they are for meritorious service or achievement," said Kootenai County prosecutor Bill Douglas. "Combat service in Iraq or Afghanistan would certainly fit this criteria."
On the newspaper forum, "Former Ranger," said, "This is utterly ridiculous. When did common sense leave those who are in charge?"
"I still can't believe any service would do such a thing," Crutchfield said. "Megan McClung was a Marine and Annapolis graduate who was killed in Iraq. We gave her parents a knife. Are we saying her life is only worth $20?"
Officials with the knife company did not respond to WND requests for comment.

I still have my 3 different "go to war" folders, each retired when I got home, now staying in my "memory" box with my medals, and other memorabilia (unit patches, coins). Every one of them is a Buck Knife.
Only other knife I regularly carried was a KBar.
This is some brass ass REMF squatting on the warriors.

FYI - Buck Knives was a longtime San Diego-area (El Cajon) company that recently relocated to Idaho for cost-savings (taxes and cost-of-living). A lot of their employees relocated, and we were sad to see them go. Good knives and good people

I have the "National Defense Service Medal" for enlisting in time of war, we all called it the "Geedunk" medal (Worthless) they gave it to anyone and everyone so it was without any special meaning or honor, no ceremony, just handed me the box. Right degrading to wear it.

Gifts from corporations run amok V. 2.0: i was part of the Navy flight crew for Flight of the Intruder: Navy rules made Paramont route ball caps through the Chief of Naval Info rep before we could have them.....

Jim, in the Army we got the "Rainbow Ribbon" just for finishing boot camp. Ironic that its the same colors as the "Gay Rainbow" symbolism. There are even jokes about it now.
#9
And even more odd, since it is not a foreign decoration, it goes higher and in front of the Kuwait and Saudi and other foreign medals that adorn the bottom rows of my ribbon bars.
#10
OS: that is because the home team lettuce counts more than any foreign one; my Kuwait leberation is the very last one on my stuff also, but becasue it is the genuine thing, means an awful lot to me. (more than the PC 'Sea Service' POS.)

there was this rule that even w/in the military a unit could not give a retiring officer or a guest speaker at a ball a gift worth more than $200.00 or ask the troops to donate more than $10.00 a piece....didn't stop a general I'll leave nameless from getting a pristine german 8mm mauser for being a guest speaker at a regimental mess night a few moons ago...even though no SNCO was ever going to get the same treatment.....I'm on the zero side of the house & I agree this is some bullshit rule.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
