Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!![]() Subscribe![]() CategoriesPagesTagsacademy

I mean, just look at his picture… yeek!
Wouldn’t let him anywhere near *my* daughter.
Probably ‘cuz I’m afraid he might eat her.
I don’t know what others here might add of value, but everyone should go to “Samizidata” first and read the post by Brian Micklethwait and some 58 comments on just this subject that began on the 5th and continues thru today. They pretty much cover the waterfront on this with some really excellent, excellently argued posts. It really behooves everyone to read the original post and ALL comments–they are THAT thoughtful. (and include comments by some many here know well, like the Llama Butchers, Kim du Toit, etc. ) Go see@

Thanks for that link! Lotsa light and very little heat.
VX -
I would also like to say thanks for that link. Imbedded in the comments for that discussion was another link:
http://www.sacd.fr/Tous-les-signataires-de-la-petition-All-signing-parties.1341.0.html
that shows all the signatories on the petition that argues against the extradition of R. Polanski. I went thorough the list and out of all of them, these are the ones I was able to recognize, me not being a euro-trash metrosexual:
Woody Allen
Pedro Almodovar
Jonathan Demme
Costa Gavras
Terry Gilliam
Buck Henry
David Lynch
Michael Mann
Julian Schnabel
Martin Scorsese
Tilda Swinton
Tom Tykwer
Wim Wenders
And there towards the bottom (it was in alphabetical order) was this name:
Likhem Young
Must have been Bart Simpson’s contribution.
Some additional sigs that I recognize on an update for the petition (http://www.bernard-henri-levy.com/si-vous-souhaitez-signer-la-petition-pour-roman-polanski-2418.html). Some might surprise you -
Harrison Ford (who’da thunk!)
Jeremy Irons
Sam Mendes
Mike Nichols
Natalie Portman
Salman Rushdie
Kristin Scott Thomas
Steven Soderbergh
Emma Thompson
Creepy creepy? I’ll settle for moral pond scum. His idea that in Hollywood 13 year old girls aren’t “13 year old girls” but are rather denizens of a target rich environment for 44 year old lechers says more about Shales than he might care to admit. 100 years ago in almost any Southern small town, Messrs. Polanski and Shales would have been taken into the courthouse square for a public horsewhipping.
Mr Lex,
We don’t do many flying posts but one of our authors sent me this last night. You should all know this man, or at least his work:
Wing Commander Ken Wallis – National Treasure.
He knew she was young enough that he needed her mother’s permission to take photos of her. I wonder what kind of mother would sign permission for this creep to take semi-nude pictures of her 13 year-old daughter, anyway.
