Thief caught out giving policeman's address

BERLIN (Reuters) -- A German teen-ager caught shoplifting tried to dupe police by lying about where he lived -- but ended up in even more trouble when the address he gave turned out to be the home of an investigating officer.
oopsie
The 18-year-old from Achim, a town of 30,000 in northern Germany, admitted he had lied when the officer explained that the address belonged to him, said police in nearby Verden.
Sort of thing you don't want to hear
"It was complete coincidence," said a police spokesman. "The thief gave that address because he'd once lived in the house. The policeman was the guy who moved in afterwards."
HA HA HA HA... sorry about that!

Then again, I used to catch shoplifters for fun and (very little) profit, so anytime one gets collared it brings joy to my cold cold heart.

Rihanna's outfits "too sexy" for Malaysia: PAS
Malaysia's conservative Islamic party has called for R & sensation Rihanna to be banned from performing in Kuala Lumpur next month, saying her outfits are too sexy, a report said Wednesday.

The Pan-Malaysian Islamic party (PAS), which has mounted protests against the United States over its support of Israel, said that concertgoers would also contribute to an outflow of local currency to the United States. "Whether Rihanna realizes it or not, we know that the taxes she has paid also contributed to the war in Gaza," Kamaruzaman Mohamad, a PAS youth wing leader, told the Star daily.

Kamaruzaman said that the show planned for Feb. 13, part of Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" tour, would be an insult to Asian values as she often performed suggestively and wore skimpy outfits. The event was "akin to insulting Eastern culture, belittling local artistes, internationally causing losses to the country's economy and supporting Israel's war policy, which is supported by America," he said.

Kamaruzaman urged authorities who issue concert permits in Muslim-majority Malaysia to reject the organizer's application.

The concert's sponsor told the daily that Grammy award winner Rihanna has agreed to follow local regulations for her performance but did not give details. Kelana Jaya MP Loh Gwo Burne meantime said he did not think anyone should impose his or her own moral views on others, and that Rihanna should not be "deemed guilty by association".

"I agree we should show displeasure against the United States but boycotting everything associated with America is difficult," he added.

Samir Abu Hamza says Australians are drunks
OUTSPOKEN Islamic cleric Abu Hamza has branded Australians as boozers who are hooked on gambling and prostitution.

In another sermon broadcast over the internet, the Coburg cleric urged followers to spread the word of Islam to save Australians.

"They think happiness can be achieved by being intoxicated, by going to the casino and blowing your money away, by going from one prostitute to the other," he said.

"They don't know what life is all about, that's why they are on the booze, why they are binge drinking . . . why unfortunately suicide has skyrocketed, murder, anxiety and depression."

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd yesterday demanded the cleric apologise after the Herald Sun revealed another web sermon telling Muslim men they could hit their wives and demand sex.

#4  It's because muslims are Pure™... why, just look at how muslim minorities (regardless of ethnicity) behave in non-muslim countries, or how morally sure-footed and healthy muslim countries are - all this counting double when it comes to nookie...
It's not like even google search finds out that some kinda charged keywords are searched heavily from nations of a given faith. Nope.

Changefest '09 - Obama's Inaugural Speech
Jason Jones maintains Obama's inaugural address was a new message, and in no way like any of Bush's speeches.


I don't watch much Daily Show these days, but I have to give Stewart some credit for pointing out the obvious here.
