The Noose is Tightening Around the Necktie
2008-06-04 21:38:00 I read a disturbing little tidbit of news this morning: the Men's Dress Furnishings Association, a trade group that represents American tie makers, is expected to cease operations tomorrow. It has been around for 60 years and at one time boasted 120 members in the 1980s. That number has declined to just 25. So what, you may ask? Well, the demise of this group means that the men's necktie may very well be on its way out, facing the same fate as public telephone booths. Men, it seems, aren't wearing ties very much these days...or at least not as often as they used to. During the 90s many companies introduced "casual Fridays" and the dressing down trend has pushed its way into Monday through Thursday workday culture as well. In fact, I can't think of a single man in my own company who regularly sports a necktie, except for our CEO (who wears them for media appearances) and our salesmen, when one of them is meeting with an agency for an in-person pitch or to give a presentation at a...

Racism and Intimidation Rears Its Ugly Head: Noose Found at Washington Nati
2008-01-25 17:00:00 I don't live too far away from Washington, and sometimes cover them for another site I work for; however, I find the article below disheartening and fairly sick. As you know, the Washington Nationals are building a new park that should be ready for play by the end of March, but sadly the specter of bitter feelings and racism have seeped into a project that should only leave smiles on the faces of fans in the DC area...WASHINGTON (Map, News) - Workers at the District of Columbia?s baseball stadium have reported finding a noose on the site, potentially worsening already tense racial relations on the project.The noose was discovered Tuesday afternoon, said Courtland Cox, an official with the D.C. sports commission, the semi-public group that is monitoring construction of the $670 million stadium. The noose was put together by a white electrician from Maryland who was fired Thursday, Cox said.Commissioners met Thursday with officials from Truland Electric, the company that had hired th...

The mortgage fraud at Countrywide (and others) was just so OBVIOUS. They called them f*cking liar's loans for a reason. I hope they don't just investigate Countrywide.

I Usually Just Choke Myself With My Hand, But a Noose Works Too
2007-12-07 09:56:00 After I revealed my semi-obsession (and semi) for Hayden Christensen, a commenter suggested I rent Life as a House to "watch Hayden suck old guys off" and someone e-mailed me to tell me about "the part where Hayden takes a shower with his lady friend." (Said shower scene linked here.) I am completely amazed, however, that both of them failed to mention my favorite part. You know?the part in which Hayden masturbates while simultaneously inhaling paint fumes from a plastic bag and hanging himself from a noose. (No, I'm not kidding.) Unfortunately, the rest of the movie is dripping in so much schmaltzy, terminal-illness movie excess (Kevin Kline plays the dying dad) that it's almost unbearable.

Washington Tightens Financial Noose on Iran
2007-11-25 11:31:00 Sanctions virtually duplicate those used against North KoreaA key reason why North Korea walked out on the September 2005 agreement reached at the six-party talks in Beijing was the economic fallout from accusations that the Macau-based Banco Delta Asia (BDA) was helping to launder funds and find a safe haven for the ill-gotten gains of the Pyongyang regime.The BDA bombshell was dropped as negotiators were congratulating themselves for reaching the Sept. 19, 2005 Joint Statement for the verifiable denuclearization of North Korea. The deal was reached in the second phase of the 4th round of talks that first began back in August, 2003. It was quite an achievement.Original article published by Ohmynews InternationalHowever, feeling they had been betrayed by Washington over the BDA issue, the North pulled out of the pact, and continued work on its nuclear programs with renewed vigor. They eventually tested their first device in October 2006.Legitimate businesses in the North Korean capi...

The Noose
2007-11-04 06:35:00 firoze shakir photographerno1 posted a photo: photo google images The noose is a knot, normally made from a small-diameter rope, that is often used by campers and hunters to catch small game. The noose has also traditionally been known as a suicide method; however the actual knot associated with this is the Hangman's knot, which is also known as the 'hangman's noose'. In 2007, there were several incidents involving nooses at the University of Maryland and Columbia University. The Maryland incident took place at a dorm in front of a minority's window. The Columbia incident took place at a professor's door. In 2007, in Jena, Louisiana, a group of black teens fought a white teen who angered one of the members the weekend prior.A year earlier students hung nooses from a tree. While the school board dismissed this as a prank it raised racial tensions until the attack. The fight became a court case when the 6 black teenagers were arrested and charged for the fight. They are kn...
