The Company That Keeps Him

With the fun part of the War Against Iraq over, Sully is turning the focus of his blog to media ethics and media bias, both here and in the United Kingdom. I eagerly await Sully's comments on this story, reported here in The Guardian:

Chequebook journalism was back in the dock last night after a �10,000 payment by the News of the World to a convicted criminal ended the trial of five men accused of plotting to kidnap Victoria Beckham.

Directing the jury to return not guilty verdicts, Judge Simon Smith referred the paper to the attorney general, Lord Goldsmith, for investigation.


The collapse of the trial threatens to derail the newspaper industry's carefully crafted attempts to see off statutory regulation. It is also a blow for Rebekah Wade, now editor of the Sun, who printed the kidnap story when she edited the NoW. Earlier this year she admitted to a Commons committee that, while she was editor, the NoW paid police officers for information.

I expect we'll sooner see Rupe show gay porn on his 5 DirectTV "adult" channels than we hear from Sully on this scandal.

    I am certain I sometimes have an advantage over bass boats speeding here and there while I quietly work shorelines, coves, and underwater structure.
    Saturn inflatable kayaks are also an affordable option with many kayak models starting at $500.

    Fishing kayaks are best for fisherman, and are equipped with built in shade, benches for storing accessories
    and fishing rods, and storage.

    The owner decided after the event to donate half of the proceeds back to the
    students. For adults, a virtual makeover of
    hair and makeup may be the equivalent of a little one hood game, with an improved style sensibility
    that tends to make the knowledge each entertaining and inspirational.

    ' Satanic Ritual - Decorate the space with human sacrifice, goblets of blood, pentagrams, and things draped in black. Even Halloween parties with the very best Halloween costumes can get dry after everyone's seen the costumes to be seen and passed out the candy to the
    beggars. The game would begin with them watching the collapse of society and the outbreak of magic around the world.

    The only hurdle to accessing this is of course human limitations and the fact that the brain does not function solely as a learning tool
    for the human being. I believe my exact words were

    Upon returning to the starting line, the first player must pass the
    sugar cube to the next teammate in line and so
    on. This was zero cost because the students went to local stores and asked for either donations and gift cards to
    purchase these items. That is the new craze in on the internet gaming, and numerous girls and teens are
    possessing a blast.
