Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London

CuteSteveJobs writes "The founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, has been arrested by London police on behalf of Swedish authorities on allegation of rape. Assange has admitted that he is exhausted by the ongoing battle against authorities. The Swiss Government has confiscated $37K in his Swiss Bank account. PayPal and Mastercard have frozen Wikileak's accounts, hampering Wikileaks from raising any more funds."

    It's not procrastination. Putting together flat-pack furniture is an essential part of the Swedish courtship ritual.

    BTWI am American and live in Texas.

    Well you're certainly not native to Texas. Most folk I know from there claim to be "Texans living in America".

    Never ask anyone if they're from Texas. If they are, they'll tell you. And if they aren't, there's no need to embarrass them by asking.
