Myanmar's Girlyboy, Plus the Chocolate Syrup Shower and the 40-Million-Year-Long Tryst
From Yr Editor
Last week, the pervos were in bloom, messed-up government continued to out-weird messed-up people, and Yr Editor barely could summon the ability (but succeeded, working overtime) to produce a completely-Sheen-free edition.
★ ★ ★ ★!
Myanmar's Cross-Dressing Strongman General: Senior Gen. Than Shwe appeared on TV recently in a women's sarong (but, really, it's not an Eddie Izzard thing). "Superstition" permeates Burmese society much as "sex" permeates America. Men, too, wear sarongs but of markedly different designs than women's, i.e., they don't switch off unless it's on purpose. Myanmar's generals run Asia's most oppressive regime, and apparently the only semi-effective opposition in recent years has been the "Panty Party," protests in which women's drawers are tossed at the generals or their property in the hope of feminizing them (i.e., sapping their masculine strength). It is possible that it was the generals' fear of Pantyism that caused them to release freedom fighter Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest. So, Gen. Than's appearance on TV in a girly sarong constitutes either a taunt (I see your damn panties, and I'm still in charge!) or a protective immunizing against further weakening. Or, it's a personal ad (there's no Craigslist in Myanmar). AOL News
The Worst of the Worst: You can have your Benny Hinns and your Creflow Dollars and your Eddie Longs. The bottom of the barrel (i.e., the most wretched of the Christian fundie grifters) is Peter Popoff of Los Angeles, and KABC-TV did a takedown for Popoff's pushing of "debt cancellation" kits. Debt collectors hounding you? God "wants to cancel, erase, wipe out, obliterate your debt." If ya can spare it, send me what little money you have left, and miracles will come! Pray harder, don't buy things you don't need, and of course support Peter Popoff Ministries. KABC-TV
The Federal Government Believes Schoolteacher Quality Is So Important That It Has 82 (Overlapping, Duplicative) Programs to Improve It: GAO went over the whole federal layout to see what efficiencies could be gained by merely stopping different agencies from doing the very same things (a project that GAO has apparently been too busy to do for the last, what, 40 years). Help disadvantaged people with transportation? 80 different federal programs. Job training? 47. Help people understand basic finances? 56. [ed. The problem remains, of course: Bureaucrats from mid-level on up never accept contractions in their organization charts. That's why the overlaps were created in the first place. Find me just one bureaucrat who cheerfully accepts that he'll be less important tomorrow than he is today.] Wall Street Journal
Calypso Louie, Back on the Big Stage: Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, in a (typical) four-hour speech on his religion's Saviours' Day, praised Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard for recognizing that white people needed civilizing (the first, excellent step toward which, Farrakhan said, is running them through Scientology's "auditing" process). He also warned the U.S.'s Muslim president that America will soon be experiencing the revolutions now seen in the Middle East and urged Mr. Obama not to attack innocent people when that happens. [Please, President Obama, for the love of God! No fire hoses! No dogs! No lynchings!] Chicago Tribune
Can't Possibly Be True: An Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agent told CBS News (with backup evidence) that the agency is actually facilitating the Mexican drug cartels' bloodbath by running a cute little mapping-type program on the border, where it inventories the weapons of various dealers and then merely monitors where the weapons wind up. Neat-o! No responsibility yet for what the cartels do with the weapons. Analogy: What if the CDC actually created the infamous AIDS "Patient Zero" just to construct a map of infectees? (Well, so far, the only American death pinned to an ATF-monitored gun is one Border Patrol agent.) According to the agent-squealer, ATF is doing this because some day--some day, mind you!--they'll have a good enough map that they can get indictments! Arrest warrants! Trials! CBS News
And Still More Things To Worry About

Discovery Channel via MSNBC
Sounds Like a Joke (I): Texas state Rep. Debbie Riddle proposed legislation to curb illegal immigrants by cracking down on employers . . except employers of maids, nannies, and yard workers. CNN

NOTW/Pro Continues to Pile On (onto public employees): (1) Jill McGlone, who "works" for the city in Norfolk, Va., said that "[n]o rectification can justify the moral devastation" she has had to live with for 12 years . . because the city has been paying her while requiring no work, while it ponders whether she did something wrong. (It was obviously a close call.) (2) An unidentified schoolteacher in Ireland was revealed last week as having been on paid leave for 14 years (because officials couldn't decide if he or she was a classroom danger).

Who Knew? It turns out that Sudan has a rich-enough middle class that a former police officer, Adam Ismael, wiped a lot of them out in a $180 million Ponzi scheme that he's now resting in jail for. "Resting" seems the appropriate word because it could be that various leaders had a hand in facilitating it. It also turns out that no matter where you are, under either cowboy capitalism or Shariah, if you give investors a 50 percent return on their money, people will be interested (only exception: Peter Popoff, who has a sweeter deal). Slate.com
The kingdom of Bhutan, not long ago one of the most isolated places on Earth (tucked between India and China and for some historical reason home of phallic signs and displays that are as ubiquitous as "Burma-Shave" signs were in the 20th century U.S. South), now has a (as they say) "draconian" anti-smoking law, and its first victim turned up last week: a monk nailed for importing cigarettes without paying the 100-200 percent duty. (Bonus: Angry smokers in this recently ultra-isolated country have now organized with . . a Facebook page.) Agence France-Presse via Calgary Herald
F State senate president Mike Haridopolos made headlines when records revealed that a state community college had paid him $152,000 to write a "textbook-quality" book that, now after four years on the shelf, had yet to publish its second copy. That makes Haridopolos better paid, on a per-copy basis, than J.K. Rowling. So the college released it, and reviews are in. It "doesn't show extensive research," wrote the Associated Press, kindly. (Bonus: Haridopolos also absolutely bludgeoned his required financial disclosure form last time around. Stay tuned.) Associated Press via Miami Herald

If the charges are true, Steven Demink, 41, knows more than we do.

A real shrink, Dr. Michael Taylor of Iowa, was court-appointed to look into what schoolteacher Larry Trigg, 53, did, which was get a student, 17, to play strip poker and let Trigg douse his body in chocolate syrup. Dr. Taylor testified that Trigg had no sexual motive. Waterloo Courier
And from the Anglo-Pervo Community, David Truscott, 41, was arrested again at a farm he apparently had repeatedly visited, for years, in order to masturbate while wallowing in the cow manure.

Editor's Notes
Updates from Last Week: The Country Afraid of Everything, not surprisingly, closed down the breast milk ice cream shortly after it went on sale. Unsafe. And although Dave "No Viagra" Cummings is "video porn hall of fame" material at age 71, he's still not as old as Shigeo Tokuda, already highlighted in Pro Edition [10-11-2010]. The Los Angeles Times gave Tokuda his props last week. (Bonus: And for those worried about the fate of witches and fortune-tellers from the imminent legalization of their craft in Romania [NOTW/Pro, 1-10-2011], well, the government caved--perhaps from fear of all those curses the witches were issuing.)

kudos on leaving carlos esteves out of the column chuck. he's a train wreck, but not a particularly weird one.
christian theives and perverts- not particularly weird anymore either.
bug eternity- perfectly preserved, if they were mosquitoes we could clone us some dinosaurs.
naked, high and stuck in a sewer hole is no way to go through life dude.
shoot the dog- great cover story, sure that'll work out for ya guy.
teacher/beastiality- atleast he wasn't f-ing his students!
the/rapist- part of a con like that, making someone abuse their own child, is the ability to pick someone who is suseptible to manipulation. To recognise that weakness in another and exploit it. that is also a particularly heinous type of evil, to take someone who is weak, borderline, but functional and manipulate them over that line into failure, into doing harm when they only hope to do good. someone like that should not be permitted to share our air.

she just went along waiting for someone to show some sense from the sounds of it. Why should she got to the expense of getting a lawyer ect, when they were paying her anyway. she waited for a resolution that never came. alot of people can say the would have kicked, but un the situation many would just go along collecting their paycheck figuring that the powers that be couldn't let it go on for ever. she also probably figured she would put up a fight when and if they tried to fire her, which is what she is doing now. atleast that is how it appears to me.

Judging from Jason's mug shot, I'd say he definitely got a happy ending.
As for the rest of the lineup, there is truth in advertising. Even so, "Ugly" came as a bit of a shock. I love that Wimpy has a *huge* bandage on his head, while under arrest for domestic assault. Too bad she didn't have a cast iron skillet full of grits...
