Tonight we listen to a song from two-time Academy Award-winning actor Anthony Quinn’s ill-considered, brief, and possibly Shatner-influenced foray into pop music. Released in the UK in 1967 as the B-side to a single called “I Love You And You Love Me”, the intendedly romantic number evokes not so much love and affection as a looming figure holding a garrotte and a roll of duct tape. Here, backed by the Harold Spina Singers, who do all the actual singing, is Quinn delivering the colossal misfire called Sometimes.
Enjoy.

EI whistleblower suspended without pay

The Miami Herald, as quoted by Shark Tank in a post/report titled “Trayvon Martin Alleged to Have Assaulted His Teacher, Dad Denies It“:
“In October, a school police investigator said he saw Trayvon on the school surveillance camera in an unauthorized area ‘hiding and being suspicious.’ Then he said he saw Trayvon mark up a door with ”W.T.F’…(the officer) found Trayvon the next day and went through his book bag in search of the graffiti marker. Instead the officer reported he found women’s jewelry and a screwdriver that he described as a ‘burglary tool,’ according to a Miami-Dade Schools Police report obtained by The Miami Herald….Trayvon’s backpack contained 12 pieces of jewelry, in addition to a watch and a large flathead screwdriver, according to the report, which described silver wedding bands and earrings with diamonds.
“Trayvon was asked if the jewelry belonged to his family or a girlfriend.
“Martin replied it’s not mine. A friend gave it to me,” according to the report. Trayvon declined to name the friend.”
He’s dead, Jim.

From the Vancouver Province: Licia Corbella defends her column that linked Vancouver’s infamous Insite drug shooting gallery to the overdose death of Glee actor Cory Monteith.
http://www.theprovince.com/Calgary+columnist+defends+column+which+links+Insite+Cory+Monteith+death/8687599/story.html
She backed off from a claim that he might have got the drugs at Insite. It doesn’t actually provide any drugs, just “help” in shooting up.
She also says Monteith might not have been able to find drugs in any other Canadian city, but that everyone knows in Vancouver the Downtown Eastside is the place to go. I suspect though that anyone who is interested in drugs can find them if they want just about anywhere.
And she says first-time users sometimes take their drugs down to the site. A spokesman for Insite denies it, but this claim is not new. A related one is that users sometimes mix different drug “cocktails”, then take them down to Insite to try them out, for the first time, under medical supervision.
Insite’s defenders claim that drug use should not be a crime issue but rather one of “harm reduction”. In reality, it should not be one of “harm reduction” either, but seen as a personal, individual choice that is no concern of government. It is not the function of the state to prevent people from killing themselves through potentially self-destructive actions.
I won’t even mention that steaming pile of you-know-what that the Supreme Court of Canada came up with in 2011 … oh wait, I just did.

“Testicles Have Taste Buds That Can Detect Sweet Flavours – and they’re Essential for Reproduction.”
Mosinger also revealed that the drug used to block the taste receptors comes from the same class of drugs used to treat high cholesterol in humans – raising the possibility that pills could be interfering with human fertility.”

Note which drug is Number 1 in sales, despite schizophrenia affecting only 1% of the population and bi-polar disorder at %2.4. Top 20 say alot about our society.

Under the proposed ordinance, Deer Trail Colorado would grant hunting permits to shoot drones.
The permits would cost $25 each. The town would also encourage drone hunting by awarding $100 to anyone who presents a valid hunting license and identifiable pieces of a drone that has been shot down.

Is it illegal to shoot a drone in Canada?
