It's nice to have a day off, even if it means sneaking out of the office 
at 10 a.m. because you'd have to kill someone if you didn't.  I can't 
wait until the French take over the world, and we can all have 35-hour 
work weeks.

Hating the French is good, clean fun, and I'm of the opinion that the 
only Paris I need to see is sandwiched between Bally's and the Aladdin, 
but World War II was 60 years ago.  Stop holding it over their bereted 
heads.  

The French people don't want war because they're no good at it and it 
would cut into that 35-hour work week, and the French government doesn't 
want war because they've got a sizeable Muslim population with which to 
deal, as well as considerable holdings and a long history in Muslim 
countries.  They're looking out for their own interests and you can't 
expect them to bend over with a white flag sticking out of their 
assholes just because we helped them over a half century ago.  

They're putting up a fight because it's a time-honored tradition to play 
both sides of the fence, hoping to be allied with whomever comes out on 
top.  If we go to war, they've projected the image of a strong nation 
unwilling to bow to the whims of a bullying administration, even if they 
ultimately assist in the campaign in hopes of getting a few million in 
post-Apocalypse rebuilding funds.  If we don't go to war, they've 
projected the image of a nation so strong, it not only refused to bow to 
the whims of a bullying administration, it forced that administration to 
change its stance.

Viva France.  They're an independent country, and they're playing the 
same game we would.  The European Union -- well, the Franco-German axis 
-- wants to take on the United States for dominance and relevancy, and 
this is a great issue on which to do it.  

This is what makes world politics interesting: two arrogant countries 
battling for supremacy.  Throw in octopus and a timed cooking battle, 
and you could make a show of it.

In the last update to the Stupid People page, I claimed to have writers 
assisting me with the latest articles.  To those who have written me 
about it:

A) I'm sorry you don't enjoy the new writers.  I agree, they can't hold 
a candle to me, and you're right, they are phony.  They're trying way 
too hard.

B) Yes, you can write for my site.  I can't get enough about preppies 
and jocks infesting high schools.

And my team of dedicated writers strung together some new words.  It 
took a lot of effort to get them to update.

CANADA - In a clear incident of racial profiling, Berna Cruz, a Canadian 
Indian woman was subjected to a harrowing experience, when not one but 
five officers of the INS accused her of traveling with a fake passport 
at Chicago’s O’ Hare airport on January 27.

“It’s horrible. It was humiliating,” said Cruz. “What I felt was that it 
was total discrimination, racism.” 

To add insult to injury Cruz was denied consular access, a phone call 
and threatened with jail. A cornered Cruz, desperate and in tears 
pleaded with the officers that her passport was genuine and that she had 
two children who were waiting for her in Canada. 

Cruz, who works as a loan officer in a Canadian Bank said that instead 
of listening to her pleas the officers, proceeded to rip off the front 
page of her passport and stamp “expedited removal” on each blank page 
rendering it ineffectual. Fingerprinted, photographed and barred from 
re-entering the US for five years, Cruz was removed to India and not 
Canada. 

Recounting her nightmarish experience Cruz said that on arriving at the 
O’Hare airport from Kuwait, an INS officer told her that her photograph 
on the passport looked “funky.” Subsequently she was sequestered in a 
room where other passengers were being checked. She noticed that another 
woman who spoke Punjabi was being meted out similar treatment. To her 
horror, Cruz noticed that all people in that room were of “color.” Cruz 
recounted that the INS officers became abusive when she insisted that 
her passport was real.

“It was a total abuse,” Cruz said in an interview with the Star. “I want 
to see them punished for this and bring some justice.”

This week, Cruz sent a letter, along with a sworn affidavit, and the INS 
removal documents to Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and Foreign Affairs 
Minister Bill Graham.

The letter arrived at the Prime Minister’s office yesterday, and staff 
had not had a chance to look into the story. But Foreign Affairs 
spokesperson Reynald Doiron confirmed yesterday that staff in Dubai 
issued Cruz an emergency passport and assisted in getting her home, via 
London.

“We’re going to bring her case to the attention of the State Department 
in Washington, request an explanation on the INS refusal to grant at 
least one phone call to Ms Cruz, and we’ll see what the American 
response is going to be,” Doiron said last night.

A full report is also expected from a Canadian official in Dubai and 
will be incorporated into the query that will be sent to the State 
Department, said Doiron.

A spokesperson for the INS in Chicago said she needed time to look into 
Cruz’s story but did say that officers have the authority to use 
expedited removals when passengers have no documents or are carrying 
documents that are suspected to be fraudulent or tampered with.

“We have very high-tech technology out there to detect these kinds of 
tampered documents,” said Gail Montenegro. “Also, any individual who 
expresses an interest in speaking with their consular official, we grant 
that. We do it over the phone. We do it all day. We do it any time that 
request is made.”

Montenegro said Cruz is welcome to file a complaint and that the INS 
takes complaints about officer conduct seriously. Cruz feels she was 
harassed because of the color of her skin. She says the INS officers 
humiliated her, and Canada, by refusing to allow her to contact Canadian 
authorities.

Cruz was born in Trivandrum, India, and immigrated to Canada in 1994. 
Five years later, she became a citizen and traded in her Indian passport 
for a Canadian one. Her birthplace is noted in the passport, and it’s 
the same passport, she says, the INS officers suspected was a fake.

An officer, says Cruz, suggested she had bought it in Sri Lanka and 
asked how much it cost her.

Cruz says an officer also asked here why her surname was not “Singh” and 
commented that it was clever of her to use a Spanish name. Cruz, who is 
separated from her husband, says she told the officers that her maiden 
name is Fernandez. It is not uncommon for Indian-born people to have 
Portuguese surnames, but the officers did not seem to care, she says.

“They said, ‘You better tell the truth because we know this is not a 
valid Canadian passport. We’ll throw you in jail,’” Cruz recalled.

An officer, she says, held the passport up to a light on the ceiling, 
flipped through pages and said there were “chemicals” on it that 
indicated it was fake.

What’s odd, says Cruz, is that the passport hadn’t been doubted when she 
was leaving Toronto, via the U.S., for India, and on previous trips to 
Boston, New York and Spain.

Cruz says she tried to show the officers other identification she had in 
her purse, but they weren’t interested. “I was trying to explain to 
them, but they didn’t want to listen to anything, they didn’t want to 
see anything.”

As many as five INS officers were involved in the questioning, said 
Cruz. “They just gave me two options: end up in jail (and wait several 
days to speak with Canadian officials) or take the flight. I pleaded 
with them to get in touch with the Canadian embassy, or if I could make 
a call, and they said no.”

She says she was hurried on to a flight destined for India, via Kuwait. 
The captain of the Kuwaiti Airlines flight had been handed her altered 
passport by American officials and, mid-flight, asked Cruz what had 
happened.

The INS, which Cruz felt would make it difficult for her to even 
re-enter India, also stamped her valid Indian visa.

The pilot agreed she could not go back to India with a destroyed 
passport and told her he would take care of the mess once on the ground 
in Kuwait.

“He was very, very helpful.” Cruz spent three days in Kuwait City while 
Canadian officials at the Dubai consulate sorted out the mess and issued 
an emergency passport.

When Cruz didn’t arrive home and missed work, her family in India and 
Toronto became worried and, without knowing what had happened, a family 
member told her boss that she was sick.

Two days later, the pilot who helped Cruz had his daughter phone Cruz’s 
Employer to tell them what had happened. But with two different stories, 
and no word from Cruz herself, her employer took her off payroll and 
assigned her desk to someone else.

The work problems have since been sorted out, although she did not want 
to name the bank she works for. But, Cruz says she hasn’t found a way to 
deal with the range of emotions she’s now feeling.

“It’s really hard. I can’t get to sleep at nights,” she said. “I can’t 
really do anything. It’s been a week since I really cooked for the 
kids.” 

Cruz says she wants the Prime Minister to speak out publicly about the 
Incident in the hope other Canadian citizens do not receive similar 
treatment.

“It’s horrible. It was humiliating,” said Cruz. “What I felt was that it 
was total discrimination, racism.”

PENNSYLVANIA — A Pennsylvania man charged with child molestation fired 
his lawyer at his preliminary hearing then offered to expose himself to 
the judge to prove his innocence. 

Albert E. Brooke, 51, of Allentown, fired Carbon County public defender 
William Schwab at his hearing Wednesday. 

Schwab still attempted to stop the hearing by telling District Justice 
Paul Hadzick that Brooke should have an evaluation to determine his 
competency. Hadzick allowed the hearing to continue and Brooke refused 
to heed hastily written notes from his former lawyer urging him, "Don't 
take the stand" and "Take the Fifth (Amendment)." 

A woman, now 18, testified Brooke molested her when she was 5 and 6. A 
boy, now 14, testified that Brooke molested him when he was 4 and 5. 

"We're not getting nowhere," Brooke said after prosecutor David Addy 
successfully objected to most of his questions posed to the 
now-teenagers. "I move for a mistrial." 

"When you're at a trial, you can move for a mistrial," Hadzick replied. 

"Then I move for a mishearing," Brooke said. 

Prompted by a question from Brooke, the boy described Brooke's penis as 
white in color. 

"My penis is not white," said Brooke, who then offered to show it to 
Hadzick in the bathroom. The district justice declined. 

Hadzick also refused Brook's requests to dismiss the charges based on 
"cruel and unusual punishment" and "attempted murder." Brooke said he 
has a host of illnesses and isn't getting proper medical care in prison.

KENTUCKY - India Tracy came to expect being sent to the principal's 
office even though she was a well-behaved, straight-A student. 

But the Union County youngster knew she'd probably be the only student 
with "no" written on the permission slip to attend a tent revival during 
school hours. When she declined to portray Mary in a Christmas play, she 
also was sent to the principal's office. 

India and her parents, Greg and Sarajane Tracy, allege other students 
taunted her, beat her and ridiculed her religion for years. Fed up with 
the treatment, her parents filed a federal lawsuit on her behalf 
Thursday. 

The lawsuit claims the Union County school system violated India's civil 
rights by promoting and endorsing religious activities, denied her right 
to freely exercise her religion and failed to protect her from 
harassment and physical and verbal abuse. 

The first time the Tracys declined to allow their daughter to attend the 
two-hour, fundamental Christian services held over three days was in 
1999, when she was in the fourth grade. The family had bought 11 acres 
in Union County because they thought the area was beautiful. 

"The principal had called me to the office because mine was the only 
slip that said no," said India, now 14. "He asked me why I didn't want 
to go. He asked my religion. I told him I didn't want to talk about it 
and for him to call my parents." 

Sarajane Tracy told the principal that she also did not want to discuss 
religion because she didn't think it belonged in school, she said. The 
family could be anything - Buddhist, Jewish or Islamic - and it 
shouldn't matter, she said. The family follows the ancient religious 
tradition of Paganism, which embraces kinship with nature, positive 
morality and acknowledges both the female and male side of Deity, 
according to the Pagan Federation. 

India was the only student left in her class during the Area Wide 
Crusade in April 1999, so her classmates knew she hadn't gone. The 
crusade was begun in 1998 by a Union County Baptist pastor and is 
planned for this April as well. 

While declining to comment on the lawsuit, school system Director James 
Pratt said the ministry rents school buses for transporting the students 
and some teachers act as chaperones but they must use a personal day to 
do so. 

He referred other questions to Nashville attorney Charles Cagle. Cagle 
declined comment because he had not seen a copy of the lawsuit Thursday 
afternoon. 

The name-calling and rumor spreading began soon after the 1999 revival, 
India and her parents said. 

Between 1999 and February 2002 when her parents removed her from Horace 
Maynard Middle School, the lawsuit alleges: 

* That India was repeatedly called "Satan worshipper," "witch" and other 
derogatory names. She was accused of eating babies and of being a 
lesbian because she wasn't a Christian, the lawsuit said. 

* That India was forced to attend regular Bible study classes during the 
school day, and urged to lead the school and her class in prayer. 

* That India was repeatedly attacked as she knelt in front of her 
bottom-row locker. Her head was bashed at least 10 times, cutting her 
lip, above her eyes and bloodying her nose. 

* That a teacher told India to "keep quiet because you'll get in 
trouble" after she wrote a paper about religious freedom. 

* That a bus driver regularly asked India in front of other students if 
she had gone to church yet and if she'd like to come to church. 

The Tracys' Knoxville attorney, Margaret Held, said the family did not 
want to sue. They just wanted their daughter to attend a safe school 
without persecution. 

"They tried being quiet about it and that didn't work," she said. "I 
would hope that the people in Union County who have been killing their 
goats and beating up their kid are a minority. If there's one thing that 
Christ taught, it was tolerance."

(I find this particularly offensive because, until early last year, I 
had no credit history.  None.  No credit cards.  No school loans.  No 
car loans.  If I couldn't pay for it in cash or find a scholarship or 
sucker to help cover the cost, I went without.  My only debt now is a 
car loan that will be paid off by the end of the year.  Because this 
program would check credit histories, I would have been pulled aside 
because I lived within my means and chose to pay for everything in cash. 
 I must have had something to hide.  This program obviously is going to 
be used for reasons other than capturing terrorists.)

WASHINGTON - A national system to prescreen air travelers for security 
risks could start by year's end, despite privacy concerns.

The Transportation Security Administration awarded a $12.8 million 
contract Friday to Lockheed Martin Corp. to link commercial databases, 
such as credit histories, with airline travel data and government 
terrorist watch lists.

The idea is to use the information to assign a risk level -- green, 
yellow or red -- to all travelers before they get to the airport. Those 
with higher risk levels would get extra scrutiny, which the TSA says 
would lead to more effective security.

Later this month the TSA plans to test the concept on Delta Air Lines 
travelers at three mid-sized airports -- which would not include 
Hartsfield International. Depending on how the test goes, the TSA plans 
to field the system elsewhere later this year.

Each passenger will have to give full name, address, phone number and 
date of birth at the time of booking.

The procedure is drawing criticism from privacy groups.

The TSA screening program will subject travelers to unconstitutional 
"searches" without probable cause, said Mihir Kshirsagar, a policy 
analyst with the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington. 
The organization is suing the TSA to get an explanation of how a 
traveler is placed on a government watch list. The TSA hasn't filed a 
response.

Opponents of the procedure say profiling will invade privacy without 
necessarily enhancing security because sophisticated terrorists will 
tailor their behavior to make themselves appear harmless.

The new system, called Computer-Assisted Passenger Pre-Screening II, or 
CAPPS II, will search several databases the moment a passenger buys a 
ticket. At the airport a traveler's risk level will be encrypted on the 
boarding pass.

Airport screeners will use machines to see the code. Green means the 
passenger gets the usual screening. Yellow means more attention, such as 
hand searches, removal of shoes and an explosive trace detection swab of 
carry-on luggage.

Red means "you don't fly," said Chet Lunner, spokesman for the U.S. 
Department of Transportation. Most likely the passenger would be 
detained or arrested, Lunner said. "These are known foreign terrorists," 
he said.

Lunner downplayed concerns over privacy invasion.

"We're using existing technology and existing databases," Lunner said. 
"CAPPS II doesn't have any new power on its own to create investigations 
or go snooping around."

The system will scan the kinds of databases that credit card companies 
and mortgage brokers use to run checks on customers making a big 
purchase, he said.

The TSA doesn't care if a traveler has bad credit, Lunner said, it just 
wants to know if the person is established. For example, the address a 
traveler gives could be verified through credit history.

"It's not so much to see what your credit rating is, but that you have 
one," Lunner said. "Those things back up your identity and help the 
system confirm that you are who you say you are."

Kshirsagar warned that information contained in financial databases is 
often inaccurate. And storing private information in a central location 
could subject air travelers to a greater risk of identity theft at the 
hands of a hacker or dishonest employee. Lunner, the transportation 
department spokesman, said only TSA employees with special security 
clearances will have access to passenger information.

CAPPS II would keep some fliers' information on file for up to 50 years.

"Obviously we want a permanent record of terrorists as long as they 
present a threat," Lunner said. "We want to make sure the Mohamed Attas 
of the world stay on the list."

CALIFORNIA - Andrew Burnett, in prison for flinging a bichon frisé dog 
into traffic during a fit of road rage three years ago, is suing the 
dead dog's former owner and the Mercury News for causing him everything 
from mental anguish to post-traumatic stress disorder over the matter.

Filed Feb. 19 in Santa Clara County Superior Court, Burnett's suit also 
claims he suffered spinal and neck injury when Sara McBurnett's car 
bumped his on a rainy night in February 2000. It was then that an 
enraged Burnett sprang from his sport-utility vehicle to confront 
McBurnett. When she rolled down her window to apologize, he reached 
inside, grabbed the dog named Leo and tossed him into oncoming traffic, 
where he was fatally struck.

The sudden act of violence generated international headlines, which 
Burnett is blaming on the Mercury News and McBurnett to the tune of more 
than $1 million.

Told of the lawsuit Wednesday, McBurnett was outraged.

His attorney "must be a weasel," McBurnett said.

Turns out, Burnett is representing himself.

He filed the suit from the Sierra Conservation Center, the prison to 
which he was sentenced for the three-year maximum in July 2001.

In the complaint, Burnett claims McBurnett tried to hide the extent of 
damage to her car, supposedly to make the fender-bender less dramatic 
than it was and minimize the possibility of his injuries. He also 
accused her of saying defamatory things about him to the media. And he 
blames the Mercury News for ``knowingly and maliciously'' printing such 
libel.

Because of all this, the suit claims that Burnett has suffered, among 
other things, "mental pain and anguish, humiliation, embarrassment, 
fright and shock, and mortification." He also complains about a loss of 
wages.

You're showing a US bias here - many other countries (including Canada) 
use DD/MM/YY instead of the US format MM/DD/YY.  The logic is to go in a 
consistent order of increasing magnitude - days, months, years - each is 
larger than the last.  I tell you this not to be pedantic, but because 
it takes away from the rest of your message to this individual - his 
country's date format usage doesn't make him stupid - all the 
unnecessary swearing and whatnot does that quite nicely for him.

I love the comeback to the Daria comment, and the Tree in the forest

Quick, someone explain sarcasm to Dan.  But don't tell him that the 
American military and all of its contractor peons use the same date
