Canada was fun, and I felt proud to do my part in keeping the country 
safe from terrorists by taking off my shoes.  Next time, I hope to have 
my breasts felt up in full view of the flying public while I fill out a 
card that tells government officials my date of birth, gender, weight, 
height, names and Social Security numbers of my sexual partners, and the 
number of times I smoked weed in the past 10 years.  Anything to prevent 
foreign airport workers with little supervision from smuggling in 
weapons for their friends while the government and media keep us busy 
with tales of mythical Middle Eastern creatures who are super deadly 
because they can make themselves invisible and morph their names and 
photos into ones that aren't their own.  

Did you ever see that movie with John Travolta and that actor who was in 
a lot of '80's movies but wasn't quite charismatic or attractive enough 
to get lead roles?  Where they're knocked out, kidnapped, and taken to a 
mock American town in Russia but the residents of the town don't know 
that they aren't in America (albeit an America about 30 years behind the 
times)?  And Travolta and his sidekick are brought in to modernize the 
town so that KGB agents can infiltrate America and spy on us?  But 
Travolta and friend don't realize what the Russian plot is because they 
think they're still in the U.S. even if things are a bit off?  Yeah, 
that pretty much sums up my vacation.  

I enjoyed Canadian television.  "Third Watch" is a thrilling look at the 
lives of emergency workers in a large city.  "Crossing Jordan" details 
the exploits of a female medical examiner who finds herself in sticky 
situations.  "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" -- well, that sucked.  But "The 
Simpsons"?  That's comedic gold.  Good job, Canada.

Did you know that they can CURSE on Canadian TV?  That they don't have 
to dub in inoffensive pejoratives and exclamations?  You know you've 
lived in an open, democratic country for too long when you have to turn 
to the person next to you and ask, "Did he say 'fuck' on TV?  They can 
do that here?"  I even heard a rumor that Canadians can travel freely to 
Cuba.  What a bunch of commies.

Don't let the Canadians fool you.  Toronto is as dirty as any other 
major city, perhaps more so than some.  The subways and street cars are 
nice, though, even if I don't quite get the purpose of using scratch-off 
lottery tickets instead of swipeable cards for all-day passes.  I guess 
the Canadians expect riders to be honest and the fare attendants to be 
diligent.  Strange, strange society.

Some of the neighborhoods:

Queen Street West.  Where fat, homely girls go to look like Avril 
Lavigne, and attractive women with body dysmorphic disorder go to 
mutilate their bodies with sharp, metal objects.  

Yonge Street.  Obnoxious homeless people stand in doorways and ask 
passers-by for money.  Someone should tell them that they live in a 
socialist country.  

Church Street.  In NYC, we call it "Christopher Street."  In 
Afghanistan, they call it "The Avenue of Many Toppled Walls."

Bloor Street.  Canadians like to think they have the equivalent of NYC's 
5th Avenue.  No, really.

I'm not sure what this "Boxing Day" is, but there are week-long blowout 
sales in hono(u)r of it, and with Canadian money worth almost nothing, I 
bought shoes, clothes, a smuggled slave from Pakistan, and a box of 
crackers with a free Nazi panda inside.  And it cost me only $15USD!

Watching Canadian news is like watching American news from 1992.  Did 
you know that, in this world, there exist groups of people who band 
together based on a common interest or a common characteristic, and then 
battle against OTHER groups of people who may or may not share their 
interests and characteristics?  It's true!  They're called "gangs," and 
in Toronto, out of the staggering number of murders last year -- 60! -- 
most were related to these roving bands of thugs.  Call out the 
Mounties.  

That's my Toronto vacation.  I had a good time, and I like it better 
than NYC, but what isn't better than NYC?

The president's tax cut plan, for one.  (That was a beautiful segue.)

"Ari Fleischer said 46 million married couples would receive average tax 
cuts of $1,716; 34 million families with children will benefit from 
average tax cuts of $1,473; and 13 million elderly taxpayers would 
receive a $1,384 tax cut."

I'm not married.  I don't have children.  And I'm not close to the 
grave.  Naturally, I throw all of my support behind this.  

Married couples certainly deserve a tax break for falling in line with 
Bush's faith-based initiative to increase the number of people bound 
together by law.  People with kids, of course, don't get enough 
assistance, and we should do all we can to help parents upgrade to an 
HDTV.  And the elderly -- wow, what kind of society do we live in where 
we can't help people who didn't work nearly as much as we do attain 
complete dependence on tax dollars?  I'm glad that Bush is staying true 
to the Republican mandate of smaller government.

Much love to all of you who helped usher in this golden age of 
prosperity and freedom.

I should update soon.  Within a week or so.

(And, yes, Topica places ads on each mailing, some of which relate to 
children.  Haha, ironic.)

NYC - A heroic 10-year-old boy may have saved his mother's life by 
bashing an aunt over the head with a bottle as she repeatedly stabbed 
his mom, police said. 

"I hit her with all my might," Eden Cadogan told the Daily News 
yesterday at his family's Brooklyn apartment. "I didn't want my mom to 
die." 

Eden's mother, Reba Shack, 41, was in critical condition last night at 
Brookdale University Hospital. 

Police said Shack was stabbed four times by her sister, Lavender Hodo, 
who attacked her with a 12-inch kitchen knife Saturday night. 

Eden was in a bedroom with his sisters, ages 13 and 9, when he heard his 
mother and aunt fighting in the living room. 

Eden said he tried to separate the women. Then, to his horror, he saw 
Hodo plunge a knife into his mother's arm, neck and torso. 

As his aunt raised the knife again, the courageous fifth-grader grabbed 
an empty soda bottle. 

"When she was going to [stab her] the fifth time, I took a bottle and 
hit her over the head first," said Eden, who attends Public School 108. 

Eden said his aunt fell to the floor, her head bleeding. Then she 
dropped the knife and ran from the apartment. 

When police arrived at the scene, they found Hodo and arrested her, 
charging her with assault and criminal possession of a weapon. 

"I just wish that [my mother] will be okay," Eden said as his father 
comforted him.

CANADA - Miniature panda bears, all marked with swastikas, have been 
found in a number of Christmas crackers in Alberta, shocking the 
families who have found them. 

Christmas crackers usually contain a party hat, a joke and a surprise 
novelty.

The toy inside the Alberta crackers was a small panda bear wearing a 
military cap with a swastika-like emblem on it. The bear appears to be 
raising his hand in a Nazi salute and appears to have a military medal 
painted on his chest. 

Lynda Tomilin from Calgary saw one of the figurines come out of a 
cracker as she was sitting down for Christmas dinner. She says she was 
disgusted. Families in Olds, Edmonton and northern Alberta have also 
found the panda in their Christmas crackers.

"We couldn't believe that was was the toy that came out of one of these 
Christmas crackers. Of course the girls were saying, 'Can I have that 
one?' But we said no," she says.

The Christmas cracker maker in Lachine, Quebec, says it's all a 
misunderstanding. 

Martin Walper, president of Walpert Industries Inc., says while in the 
West, the swastika is linked to Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany, the symbol 
is widely used in several major religions, including Buddhism. In China, 
where Walpert's crackers are made, the swastika denotes, among other 
things, prosperity.

Laurence Nixon, chairman of the religion department at Montreal's Dawson 
College, says in Hinduism and Buddhism, the swastika has absolutely no 
connotation of nationalism, socialism, much less anti-Semitism. In fact, 
the word swastika comes from the sanskrit word for wellbeing.

Nixon adds that the symbol has been found in almost every ancient and 
primitive culture all over the world, turning up among the Hindus, the 
Celts, the Germanic peoples and in central Asia as well as in 
pre-Columbus America.

DUBAI - The French Foreign Ministry confirmed on Saturday it had hired a 
lawyer to help defend the French businesswoman who has been charged in 
Dubai with having "adulterous sexual relations", a crime which carries a 
maximum 18-month jail sentence under the Muslim emirate's Sharia law.

The woman, Touria Tiouli, a Moroccan-born marketing executive who grew 
up in Limoges and holds full French citizenship, had previously accused 
three local men of gang raping her, but police in Dubai rejected her 
allegations and instead arrested and charged her.

On Saturday, she was freed from prison on bail paid by the French 
consulate but will face trial within a few weeks.

Ms Tiouli, who works for several French luxury goods firms and was on 
her third extended business trip to Dubai, went to police in the 
oil-rich emirate on October 14, the day after her 39th birthday. She 
said three men had taken it in turns to rape her the previous night.

Ms Tiouli said she had gone to celebrate her birthday at a popular 
international disco. She knew the place well and was on good terms with 
its manager, who introduced her to three friends. They brought her a 
drink - Coca-Cola, according to friends from Limoges who have formed a 
support group for her - and then drifted off. At midnight, when Ms 
Tiouli went to call a taxi to go home, they offered her a lift.

But the men took her to an outlying district and raped her for several 
hours before finally dropping her at her hotel, Ms Tiouli says. She has 
told friends she thought hard before going to the police, aware that her 
story might not be believed, but she decided to do so because she 
thought her status as a French citizen with close links to the 
consulate's business section would carry some weight.

"I very soon realised my story was not getting through to the police at 
all," she told the French daily Liberation. "The next day they called me 
back in for more questioning, put me in handcuffs and took me to Dubai 
women's prison where I spent five days. They had questioned two of my 
rapists, and decided I was the guilty party." The men had told the 
police that they saw Ms Tiouli drinking alcohol and thought she was a 
prostitute.

VIRGINIA - Fairfax County Police are targeting Reston and Herndon area 
bar-restaurant patrons suspected of having one too many drinks. 

Police have been taking them outside for sobriety tests and, if they 
fail, arresting them for public drunkenness. 

The owners of local bar-restaurants are complaining that these tactics 
are too aggressive. But a county police spokesman says the practice is 
nothing new and, besides, helps prevent worse abuse that can lead to 
alcohol-related driving accidents. 

According to Virginia statutes and the Virginia Department of Alcoholic 
Beverage Control (ABC), any place with a liquor license is considered a 
"public place." Accordingly, police are allowed free access to such 
places, and, should they find any customer over the legal alcohol limit 
of .08 or suspect a customer of being intoxicated while still being 
served or present in an establishment, police can write that person a 
ticket for public intoxication. 

Such methods, say police, are not new, despite protests from bar owners 
that they have never heard of police coming into their establishments 
and enforcing drinking laws. 

"I've been an officer for over 17 years, and we've been doing it on and 
off over my entire career," said police public information officer 
Sophia Grinnan. 

"As much as officers hate to spoil a good time, they hate even more to 
go out at 2 a.m. and work a death of anybody that is alcohol related," 
Grinnan said. 

However, bar owners and patrons present during such police raids over 
the last several weeks said what police have been doing is overly 
aggressive. 

Richie Prisco was the general manager on duty at Champps in Reston's 
Plaza America on Sunset Hills Road on Thursday, Dec. 19, when he said 
police came into the bar and started taking patrons outside. 

"They were talking to one of the guests, then physically pulled him off 
the barstool," Prisco said. "They were really aggressive and nasty." 

Champps General Manager Randy Gross compared the police tactics to those 
of Hitler's Gestapo, and said he feels he is owed an explanation. 

"I would like a meeting between myself, other establishments and the 
chief of police," Gross said. "I just want them to tell us why they're 
doing this and what we can do to prevent it." 

Grinnan said it is not unusual for police to crack down extra hard on 
alcohol-related offenses during the holiday season, when more alcohol is 
typically consumed. Plus, Grinnan noted, a ticket for public 
intoxication is a far lesser offense. 

"It has less repercussions than driving drunk and is a safer way to 
battle DWIs," Grinnan said. 

Other bars in the local area have also had visits from police, including 
Jimmy's Old Town Tavern and Ned Devine's, both in Herndon. 

Jimmy Cirrito, who owns and runs Jimmy's Old Town Tavern, said 10 or so 
officers who showed up in SWAT-like garb were intimidating and 
unnecessary. He also noted that police seemed to be tagging people at 
random, despite police telling bar owners they had undercover officers 
in the bar, calling in and giving descriptions of particular 
individuals. 

"They tapped one lady on the shoulder--who was on her first drink and 
had just eaten dinner--to take her out on the sidewalk and give her a 
sobriety test," Cirrito said. "They told her she fit the description of 
a woman they had complaints about, and that they heard she was dancing 
topless." 

Cirrito said the woman passed the sobriety test and was allowed to 
return to the bar, but, soon after, police pulled another woman outside 
who had arrived shortly before police came into Jimmy's Old Town Tavern. 


"They made her count backward, say the alphabet, tell them where she 
lived, how she got there, how she was getting home," Cirrito said. "She 
had just gotten there five minutes ago in a cab." 

Cirrito insisted that the last thing he as a bar owner wants to see is 
any of his customers get hurt, and, for this reason, he said, he'll call 
a cab for and cut off drinks to anyone they think has had too much to 
drink. But he won't just send someone out in the street who appears to 
have had too much to drink until he is sure the individual can get home 
safely. 

"The law states I have to push these people out on the sidewalk," 
Cirrito said. "And then, what can happen? A [lone] woman could get 
mugged, or who knows what, going to her car by herself." 

He added it is aggravating for him, especially as a small business 
owner, to be targeted by police and face possible fines from the ABC. 

"It's disappointing and sad for people like me who don't own a chain," 
Cirrito said. "I don't sit in Beverly Hills and count my thousands. I 
dump trash and scrub floors. If a place like Chili's or Ruby Tuesday's 
gets an ABC violation, it's like a fly landing on your arm--they just 
brush it off. For me, it's like a killer wasp sting." 

Grinnan responded to this sentiment by saying bar owners were probably 
just ruffled by seeing the uniform in their bars, even though undercover 
officers are common. 

"If it sends a strong message out, then that's what we want to do," 
Grinnan said. 

And, in response to bar owners' complaints that the raids were overly 
aggressive, Grinnan said there are two sides to every story. 

"I've had bar owners come up to me [and] ask what is going on," she 
said. "But I've also had some approach me aggressively, telling me I 
couldn't be there and I was violating their constitutional rights. We 
love to give explanations of what we're doing because it has an impact, 
but officers don't have to give up their game plan. That is just a 
courtesy."

MICHIGAN -- Jon Fowler wants his 4-year-old son to have the right to 
take peyote with him. It's a matter of religious freedom, he says. 

A member of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Jon 
Fowler belongs to the Native American Church of the Morning Star, where 
the hallucinogen is taken as a sacrament. Fowler wants his son to join 
him in the rite, if the boy wishes. 

But a judge may bar Fowler from doing so, in a case that pits the 
Constitution's guarantee of religious freedom against a mother's wish to 
protect her child. 

Fowler's ex-wife, Kristin Hanslovsky, who is not an American Indian, 
fears that peyote would harm her son and doesn't want him anywhere near 
it. 

Fowler, who earns a living by selling food and crafts at powwows, 
credits his use of peyote with helping him overcome alcoholism and forge 
a relationship with God. 

The U.S. criminal code classifies peyote as a controlled substance, and 
in most instances a person caught with more than 4 ounces faces the 
possibility of a 20-year prison sentence. 

But during the past century, peyote's use in religious rites spread 
among Indians throughout the United States, including the upper Midwest. 
Congress recognized this sacramental use of peyote eight years ago by 
amending the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978 to protect 
the practice in all 50 states. 

Fowler's attorney, Thomas Myers of Michigan Indian Legal Services, said 
the case was about ensuring that "rights guaranteed to Native Americans 
by treaty or statute are secured, and I think that would include 
constitutional rights." 

Hanslovsky has said she does not want to violate anyone's religious 
freedom, but that feeding the boy peyote "could cause him harm or 
long-term neurological defects." 

Testifying on Fowler's behalf at a court hearing last month, John 
Halpern, a psychiatrist and researcher at Harvard Medical School, said 
he has found no evidence of a child or adult being harmed by the use of 
peyote in Indian religious services. 

"This is a sacred ceremony," said Halpern, who has conducted an 
extensive study of peyote use among Indians. "It's not something to 
entertain people." 

About 300,000 Indians who belong to the Native American Church of North 
America, the nation's largest church for indigenous peoples, ingest some 
form of the cactus, he said. 

But some members of these types of congregations do not believe children 
should take the substance. 

Anne Zapf, who with her husband runs the Peyote Way Church of God in 
Klondike, Ariz., feels children should be allowed to attend spiritual 
ceremonies where peyote is dispensed, but should not ingest it. 

At Zapf's church, where peyote is used once or twice a year, a person 
must be at least 18 -- or 14, with parental permission -- to take it. 

"I'm not even into handing peyote to anybody who's under 30 because most 
people aren't emotionally mature enough or prepared by life enough for 
the experience," she said. 

"Peyote is an introspective experience. It's a God experience and 
generally you have to have a few sins under your belt." 

(How many Native Americans who take peyote are actually about 90 percent 
European in descent?)
