For Sale: Chocolate Factory
(Oakdale, California) The Hershey Company is selling its 417,000-foot production facility on 85 acres in Oakdale for $18.5 million. Purchaser will also take possession of a nut storage building, bean storage areas and a warehouse. CB Richard Ellis, a major commercial real estate company, is handling the property.
The entire workforce of 575 employees will be gone by January with last Saturday being the last day for the 99 people on the Hershey's Kisses and Kisses With Almonds production lines.
The plant's closure is part of a system-wide restructuring plan that includes the closure of five other plants in the U.S. and Canada this year. For the future, Hershey long-haulers will truck Mexican Kisses to American customers.
Employees contacted by the Modesto Bee refused to comment about the closure due to confidentiality agreements. It's not known what was received in return for signing the agreements.
[Update 07/10/07]
An emailer notes that the shutdown of the plant curiously coincided with the 100th anniversary of the Hershey Company. Heh.

Biggest Breasts in China
(Shanghai, China) A 16-year-old girl from Shandong Province, Xu Haojia (pic), claims that she has the biggest breasts in China and she is trying to auction them to the highest bidder. Xu is seeking more than $50,000 for the pair and plans on giving the money to the needy.
Xu, measuring about 5'4" tall and an E-cupper at 33/28/34, advertised on her blog (in Chinese) "The No. 1 breasts want an auction for love donation." She says she hopes that five celebrated Chinese men bid on her breasts because "they may need the fat to change to be females in the future."
According to Shanghaiist, "Xu is literally auctioning her breasts. As in, she will have them surgically removed, and will literally hand her disembodied mammaries over to the highest bidder." I believe this would be a new high (low) on the Ewww! scale.
"Thirty percent of the money will be used for a migrant workers' Website," Xu said in the article. "Sixty percent will be donated to a happy education program held by a Red Cross in Hunan Province and I'll use the remainder for plastic surgery."
It's suggested that Xu is simply seeking publicity and the idea is merely a ploy.
My Independence Day Post
My Independence Day post has nothing to do with July 4, 1776. It has to do with April 19th, 1775, immortalized in Emerson's poem.
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled;
Here once the embattled farmers stood;
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps,
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream that seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We place with joy a votive stone,
That memory may their deeds redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
O Thou who made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free, --
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raised to them and Thee.
Playboy Playmate Jennifer Lyn Jackson Arrested
This proves that being a Playmate doesn't automatically mean that success like Anna Nicole Smith's or Pamela Anderson's will be achieved.
(Oberlin, Ohio) Jennifer Lyn Jackson (pic), Playboy Playmate from April 1989, was arrested this past weekend on charges of allegedly driving under the influence, possession of drugs and theft.
Police pulled 38-year-old Jackson over on State Route 58 for allegedly driving erratically and found marijuana in her car. It's also alleged that Jackson stole gasoline at a Murphy's station.
Democrat Values: Golfing With Strippers
(Toledo, Ohio) From a report citing a Blade article, the Lucas County Democrat Party golf outing at a public course last Friday featured local strippers providing drinks and entertainment. One official remarked that "he witnessed one woman lift up her top and reveal her chest to a group of golfers. She then lowered her shorts for their benefit."
Hubba! Hubba!My score is already impeded by trees and sand traps. I can't imagine the obstacles posed by bare chests and lowered shorts.
In any event, the Democrat-stripper connection reported by the liberal media isn't the sensational headliner it likely would be had the participants been Republicans.

I think the lack of fuss when Dems act like they do is because the left holds their own to their values, while trying to hold ours to both values. And, frankly, they don't have any values. That is, in a way, their value system however. Think of zen, only add truly stupid, drugs, and blind faith. For some reason, our politicians seem to lean more to the left. Stupid is easy, I guess. Plus, so long as you play ball, they will let you do whatever you want.
Video: Ghosts, Demon Children and Polergeists
File under "And now for something completely different."
This is a pretty freaky video. Many supernatural clips make it hard to discern what's happening, but these look real (I'm no expert, but some of this stuff seems hard to fake). It would likely be even better at 2:45 am in the dark. Sent chills up the spine on several occasions. Its a collection of clips of ghosts, poltergeist activity, alleged 'demonic' happenings and other creepy stuff. Watch at your own peril.
UPDATE: Upon further reflection and another viewing or two, it is entirely plausible that these are fake and made by people with a lot of time on their hands. If they're fake, however, they're pretty well done.
1
Watched the video twice, he first time without sound so that my emotions would not be manipulated by music or my interpritation of what I am seeing influenced by what people were saying. I saw a lot of fog in a cemetary (in more places than just behind the mounment), some smoke interracting with a spider web near a lamp post, some smoke or dust trapped between two opposite wind currents crossing the street, a shadow of someone off camera in a garrage move across a wall etc. The first time the "thing in the hall" did make my hair on my neck stand up, but the second time it did not look like much. The poltergeist stuff looked very fake to me. The "demon" in the mirror did not do anything the girl did not already do. It's a blend of two video streems, one of them a time loop--very well done.
PS. Get that pantry latch fixed.

Y'all are so cynical! I've experienced things in my parents' house.... as have other members of my family. My daughter knew nothing of this and when she started spending time down there, she told me she had seen and heard things in the house, too. My parents had the house blessed by a priest many years ago, but we just accept that it is haunted.

I agree. I only watched it once (sound and everything), and the only thing that particularly scared me was the thing in the hall. But then, it's probably a human trait that the old see-something-weird-turn-your-back-then-go-back-to-look-and-its-got-closer thing stands a good chance of shrinking your balls. And you can sort of tell it was built up to be like that, with the viewer in mind, and therefore fake.
The ouija board segment is particularly lame. 'What's on TV?' 'Nothing.' 'Let's film ourselves covertly opening doors, moving furniture, and flitting our hands in front of the camera lens!' 'Do we have to?...'

My parents had some friends that lived in an old house. They, the owners of the house said that they had some funny things going on in the house. They had a big fireplace with a nice mantle above it. They said that there were two brass candle sticks that they would place on the mantle. Come morning time the candle sticks would be laying on the floor in front of the fireplace. I heard this story back in the early 80's when I was all of 8 years old, so they could have been pulling my leg.
This one comes out to the interesting timing occurances. One of my cousin's, a very honest individual and not a guy that would ever make shit up randomly told me this. He had a friend that lived across the street from him. At my aunt's house she had a music box in her living room. When my cousin was younger, the kid from across the street would always mess around with the music box. Into their later teen years, the kid from across the street committed suicide. A year to the day after he was gone, my cousin woke up when he heard the music box playing in the living room. He told me the story, and I believe that he was telling me the truth.

Why don't we ever see a full screen image of any of the "poltergeists" rooms where activity is taking place? Probably because the actors working the tricks would be visible.
Sorry folks, but film "proof" of paranormal won't cut it anymore. Video editing is too good at creating "ghosts". Until someone like Randi can verify it just won't fly.

Some people create "smoke ghosts" with cigarette smoke and dry ice. How is it that the camera is focused in on where the poltergeist activity is taking place? I'm not buying most of it.
That being said, I think spirits and life after death are REAL. If you want to see some Roto-rooter plumbers doing scientific studies of ghosts, then I would suggest the show "Ghosthunters" on SciFi. Sometimes they find evidence, sometimes they don't. They seem pretty legit.
However, that show "Most Haunted" that is filmed in England... completely fake. There's always one person who is "so frightened" that they have to leave and then suddenly there is banging on the walls. Umhmm. And don't get me started on the table tipping. LOL Oh well, it's good for a laugh.
Somewhere there is a video of a ghost caught on tape at a junkyard. Security camera caught it. That one seems pretty real.

Road Trip Necessary
I feel the need to oppress the masses with a golfing expedition. The Cherry Valley Golf Course near Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania has been recommended as a challenging and exciting course.
Stroudsburg Area Regional Police are investigating complaints of a private golf outing featuring lap dance stations, threesomes and naked women at the Cherry Valley Golf Course on Monday.
Nor with this alleged photo of the alleged incident (note that a ball-washer is nearby):

I hope you hit a few good ones Bluto.
As for golfing, and the 'range', knowing how to use a 'club' doesn't hurt anything. There appears to be no lobby trying to keep you from having them, and I'm pretty sure they are capable of breaking bones through kevlar. Neck and collarbone protection are usually lacking. So if a criminal invading your home in the dark gets killed by you with your 'driver' its all good. Ultimately, everything is a weapon. Your mind is the one you need to hone, and after that, it's all about knowing your enviroment.
USA, all the way!

Male Teacher, 40, Weds Female Student, 16
(Brunswick, North Carolina) On Monday of this week, a Brunswick couple, Mr. and Mrs. Hager, reluctantly gave permission for their 16-year-old daughter, Windy, to get married.
Later in the day, 40-year-old science teacher and track coach at South Brunswick High School, Brenton Scott Wuchae, married Windy Hager, South Brunswick student and track team member.
On Tuesday, the Brunswick County School Board approved the resignation of Brenton Wuchae, one week after it had been submitted. Following a closed-door meeting, Superintendent Katie McGee said, "I am shocked and disheartened by what transpired."

What kind of a sick, degenerate, pervert...calls their kid 'Windy'?
'Dear - I'm so excited about our having a baby together! Aren't you?'
'Meh...'
'What shall we call her if she's a girl?'
'Uh...well, it's pretty gusty outside - hows about Windy?'
'Oh, you do love me!'
'Fetch me some juice...'

I thought I was a cradle robber when I married a 20 yr old when I was 34. That's what happens when you don't graduate until you are 34.
Posted by: greyrooster at June 21, 2007 08:34 AM (aPOZJ)
Wasn't illegal now was it. For my tastes 16 is a little young for a 40 year old, but unfortunately for you it's a long shot from being historically or culturally unusual. Calling it pedophilia because it doesn't seem right to you just plain doesn't make it so.
Am I advocating pedophilia, hell no but at 16 she is no longer a child. Probably too emotionally immature for marriage, but than again most Americans are still too emotionally immature for marriage at 30 hence our 50% divorce rate.
In the United State the legal age of consent varies from 14 with parental consent to 18. In North Carolina the legal age of consent is 16 without parental consent. Around the world the age of consent varies from 12 to 21.
In Japan the legal age of consent is 13, in Mexico its 12 for men and 18 for women. In Madagascar it's 21. So I guess what you are saying is that in all those places where the legal age of consent is under what 18? or do you prefer Madagascar's 21? that these places are sponsoring legalized pedophilia?
If that is the case you are making than I suggest that it is you who has the serious issues not society as a whole. Pedophilia by definition is the desire, fantasy or act of engaging in sexual relations with another individual who is medically determined to be prepubescent.
At 16 Windy Hagar fails to meet that criteria in any way shape or form. In fact by the standards of North Carolina ( not to mention the standards of a very significant portion of the entire planet) she doesn't even fit the criteria for statutory rape (the act of engaging in sexual relations with a legal minor).
So if you want to express your moral outrage at Brenton Scott Wuchae's decision to marry a young woman of the tender age of 16 fine, feel free to do so. But you are going to need to find another pretext to do so because your assertion of legalized pedophilia just doesn't have any legal or moral high ground to stand on nor for that matter does it have any historical or cultural bases.

I suppose Jerry Lee Lewis is in total approval mode right now, even if the bride is somewhat old by his standards. I hear the newly married couple are planning to move to Utah. Personally, I am waiting for a gay marriage of similar age variance to take place in Mass. We've already had our art film of horse lovers coming out of Washington state. Diversity is the name of this game, perhaps with our good 'ole buddy Rodney King singing softly in the background: "Can't we all just get along!" Maybe MTV will do a reality show based on clitorectomies of young muslim girls from around the world; can't wait to watch the smiling faces of all those proud daddies and crying mommies.

I also have a 16 year old daughter. I'm curious about the parents of this gal. I might handle this a little differently if I were in this spot...Let's see, After walking down the aisle, just before giving the hand of my daughter away to this .........freak, I would yell, "YA RIGHT", then take my son's 30/19 Easton Stealth Composite and hit both his 40 year old nuts over towards the groom's side. Balls just jump off the 08 Stealth, the bat really does have more pop than anything Demarini carries.
Then I would take my daughter home.

As I have said before, 'legal' age is arbitrary after a certain point, and throughout history real maturity has been determined differently, by different cultures. By my own standard, some of those societies have been 'sick'. I think it is wrong for Japan to set such an arbitrarily low age for consent. Obviously what Muhammed did with his 9 year old bride was unacceptable. Ancient Rome recognized adulthood during the mid-teens (14+) and they backed that up with a culture that taught the expectations of Roman citizenship. I say that we need to restore the concept of "Rites of Passage". Thats where a person proves they are ready to be called an adult, and they earn the status by thier own merits.

Also, I saw nothing in the connecting articles that established any foul play was involved in the decision of these two to get married. It isn't so unlikely that mutual admiration and respect could have blossomed into much deeper feelings. Also, just because so many people are selfish, and reckless doesn't mean that this couple was. I don't know if they crossed any physical lines, and it looks to me like nobody could prove they did. He gave up his career for this. You know he won't get hired for a similar job, coaching, teaching, or whatever, ever again. I just think we need to let them pursue thier happiness, which they seem to be doing legally. If they are good, considerate, compassionate people, they will have a fine marriage. If not, we will read about them in the paper again someday, when it becomes someones pet issue again. I really do wish them the best of luck. USA, al the way!

Last word. My wife was 19 when we started dating. I was 12 years older, and her Mom flipped out. When we told them we wanted to get married it was months after we had made up our mind, but we were trying to pad out her parents reactions by giving them time to not hate me so much. Now her parents and I get along fine, and this weekend is our 13th Wedding Anniversery. Oh yeah, I drew a lot of smart assed comments from co-workers and others. I'd do it all over again. Sometimes people fall in love, and it isn't up to anyone else to judge. USA, all the way!

I dated a gal 2 yrs younger than me in high school. We eventually broke up and went our separate ways. Found out decades later that during her senior year in high school that she was banging one of her teachers/track couch. She married a GI, had a couple kids with him, then divorced him. She then drags her butt back to the teacher/couch and marries him. She forces him to resign his teaching job and sends him into construction. He begins drinking, gambling, etc and she divorces him after 10-15 yrs of being married. I suspect that she made the advances on him, not the other way around. Here's looking at ya Sandy.

Hillary Picks Boring, Foreign Theme Song
Professor Chaos is pretty enraged that Hillary Clinton picked Canadian Celine Dion's "You and I" as her official campaign theme song. Whatever happened to buy American Mrs. Clinton? If this is how her invincible juggernaut of a campaign runs things, then I'd like to be the first to welcome our new Republican overlords in 2008.
Anyway, if you're going to pick a foreign song to headline your campaign with, why pick a boring one? Like Hillary hasn't already picked up the 35-45 recently divorced but still hopeful that I'll find a meaningful relationship single mother vote. I'd suggest something like Rammstein's Amerika, a song that both kicks ass and which has lyrics sure to please today's Democratic primary voter. [video below]
Exit question: What song would best suit Fred Dalton Thompson's campaign? With a newly confident Russia saber-rattling in our general direction, I'm thinking it's finally time to resurrect that treatment for that VH-1 special on Survivor I have in my files somewhere. [video below]

How about running Marilyn Manson's "Love Song" by Fred? The chorus is cool:
the father: "do you love your guns?" (yeah) "god?" (yeah) "your government?" "do you love your guns?" (yeah) "god?" (yeah) "your government?" (fuck yeah)
Manson's got a lot of stuff that would scare the batshit outta the left. One of the funniest things I ever saw was his appearance on letterman before the '04 election. Letterman basically asked him who he was supporting, and Manson said "George Bush". Letterman was actually speechless. Heh.

His father in law probably hates the self-centered punk. Brought home a sample for the punk. Just thought of something. TB Andy is 31 years old. They said he was a military academy grad. Which means he spent 4 years in the academy plus 6 years obligated service. Then law school for I don't know how many years that takes. Something not adding up here. Was he given the military boot out?

Another Political Line Cut from Star Wars
This one from Episode II:
COUNT DOOKU: As I explained to you earlier, I'm quite convinced that ten thousand more systems will rally to our cause with your support, gentlemen. And let me remind you of our absolute commitment to capitalism... of the lower taxes, the reduced tariffs, and the eventual abolition of all trade barriers. Signing this treaty will bring you profits beyond your wildest imagination. What we are proposing is completely free trade.
More analysis of the Separatist political cause here.

Are you sure your not missing the possible point of the film maker? By the time this was made could it not of been simply to connect the "bad guy" with capitalism? That is traditional Hollywood propaganda.

Luke Skywalker, Libertarian?
It's hard to believe that the evil George Lucas ever had a Libertarian bone in his body, but there may seem to be some evidence of that very thing in a deleted scene from Star Wars.
What good's all your uncle's work if the Empire takes it over? You know they've already started to nationalize commerce in the central systems? It won't be long before your uncle is just a tenant, slaving for the greater glory of the Empire.
My sources tell me that the cut film was found in a government warehouse and is being examined by top men in the libertarian movement.
Of course as one moves far enough away from ever having to really earn money again the attitudes of the bourgeoisie often fade. The extraordinarily rich, like the 2007 George Lucas, has essentially forgotten the basic rules of wealth creation that the 1977 knew so well.
Meanwhile, top men at The Jawa Report continue to surf the internet looking for all things Star Wars.....especially metal bikini related.
Rusty's Ireland Photo Essay
For the ten people interested in this sort of thing, here are some photos I took while in Ireland. Seriously, the Irish board of tourism should be paying me for this.
Fast and useful "facts" about Ireland:
F*ck is the most commonly used adjective in Ireland. Shite is the second.
There are more Poles in Dublin than Irish.
Gallic football is a lot like soccer, only not so ghey.
Fully 75% of the population is addicted to craic.
Of all the legacies of British Imperialism, driving on the wrong side of the road is by far the worst.
Don't bother with a road map in Ireland. None of the roads are marked so knowing the name of the road your lost on doesn't really help.
In Ireland the police are called the "garda". That's Gallic for honest graft.
There are no hot young chicks in Poland, they've all emmigrated to Ireland.
Photos below.

Glad to see you're enjoying Ireland and really enjoyed your useful facts! They are right on the money!! Anyway your readers might be interested to know that Sinn Fein despite being one of the smallest parties is also the poltical wing of the IRA - and have been long time fellow travellers of the PLO, FARC, ETA and every other left wing dingbat terrorist organisation that's been around since the late sixties. They are also very adept at "playing" americans while on fund raising trips in the US - while engaging in america bashing on Iraq, Guantanamo etc. over here. For an example of the effect of this you should take a look at Peter King (Republican Congressman from New York). He used to be the foremost cheer leader for Sinn Fein in the US congress - even back in the bad old days when no Irish-american politician would touch them with a barge pole. But since 9/11 he has split with the Shinners and the whole Irish scene - quoting the level of anti-americanism in Ireland. http://http://www.nysun.com/article/15853
Yeah, I know what pricks they are. In fact, it's really no coincidence that Sinn Fein started talking to the British only shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union....same goes for dozens of "resistance movements". They lost their major source of moral and funding support, so they had to.
Also, I notice Jerry Adams face all over the place. I don't want to make a MORAL equivocation between the Nazis and Sinn Fein, but there certainly many political similarities. Adams, like Hitler, is technically a "foriegner" and Sinn Fein, like the Nazis, want to unify all ethnic Irish under the same flag. Beyond that both were ultranationalists but socialists.

Well, where the hell are the pictures of those Polish babes ? Throw it out there like so much bait, then you forget all about them. On a more serious note, driving on the left is easier if your left handed. Because we're more adaptive than all you righties. Nice images by the way, supposed to be a beautiful place.

Drop dead gorgeous pictures. Thanks for sharing.
My Irish friend David Vance (atangledweb) would appreciate them, so I will pass along.
Great site Rusty.

Irish must be a bunch of bigots, racist, KKK'r and such. Where are all the minorities of color? Polish immigrants. Not doing their share of ruining Europe by importing minorities dedicated to destroying it. Sounds like a bunch of friggin Nazis to me. The Irish people under their own flag? What kind of racist shit is that?
Then again I think God created whiskey to keep to Irish from controlling the world.
Hot polish babes are neccessary. Irish girls make poor hookers. They just can't turn down a drunk.

OMG, Rusty... That picture you took of the harbor in Malahide looks like it was taken at the VERY SAME location as my apartment when I was there a few years ago (for a 1-year trip for my work)! Did you take it from the building on the corner that has a pizza place?

'Well, where the hell are the pictures of those Polish babes ?'
Right. I live in England, so if I want to see ruined castles and shit, all I need to do is look out the window, but Polish sluts is another matter. Or in other words - where are the pictures?
Glad you had a nice time though. Bet your liver is relieved to be back in the US.
'Irish must be a bunch of bigots, racist, KKK'r and such...'
I don't like to generalise, but that's the impression I've been left with from the various Irish people I've met over the years. Most of them'd admit to it too.

This is what supporting the troops really looks like.
BAGHDAD ----Country music star, Toby Keith, visited troops stationed in Baghdad Tuesday.
Singing songs and playing guitar are a few things Keith, an Oklahoma native, does quite well. Visiting troops in combat is another activity he takes pride in.
Keith’s visit to Baghdad is part of his fifth United Service Organizations (USO) tour.
If you are going to talk the talk, then you’ve got to walk the walk and that is why he is back in Iraq and performing for the Soldiers, he said.

Toby Keith is a class act. But stupid brain dead Americans still go to Dixie Chick concerts. Toby Keith supports our boys in uniform The Dixie bitches embarrass our nation overseas. Truth is most Americans don't give a shit about anything but themselves. Fuck the future of our children.

What a penis Edwards is. The sad thing is, his hair doo is what you might consider the norm for a local tv anchor man. I try my best to give everone a fair shake but this clown is just a self absorbed piece of garbage. He's like that scumbag on the Titanic movie. The guy that will use someone else's child to get himself out of danger.
As for golfing, and the 'range', knowing how to use a 'club' doesn't hurt anything. There appears to be no lobby trying to keep you from having them, and I'm pretty sure they are capable of breaking bones through kevlar. Neck and collarbone protection are usually lacking. So if a criminal invading your home in the dark gets killed by you with your 'driver' its all good. Ultimately, everything is a weapon. Your mind is the one you need to hone, and after that, it's all about knowing your enviroment.
Cool beans.
