REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
first, i must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and 'top secret'. i am sure and have confidence of your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this great magnitude involving a pending transaction requiring maxiimum confidence.
we are top official of the iraqi government contract review panel who are interested in imporation of goods into our country with funds which are presently trapped in fallujah. in order to commence this business we solicit your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said trapped funds.
the source of this fund is as follows; during the last military regime here in iraq, the government officials set up companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly over-invoiced in various ministries. the present civilian government set up a contract review panel and we have identified a lot of inflated contract funds which are presently floating in the central bank of iraq ready for payment, some to halliburton, some to you.
He lied about being involved in a fatal train accident that took the lives of two high school students. From The Smoking Gun:
In addition to these rap sheet creations, Frey also invented a role for himself in a deadly train accident that cost the lives of two female high school students. In what may be his book's most crass flight from reality, Frey remarkably appropriates and manipulates details of the incident so he can falsely portray himself as the tragedy's third victim. It's a cynical and offensive ploy that has left one of the victims' parents bewildered.
He accuses their dead child of lying to them on the night she died....but, it's all in good fun.
He accuses the police officer who arrested him of beating him and abusing him. Not so: the officer was very kind in not reporting that Frey was drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon when arrested:
It has been pointed out that Frey's lies don't do seriously ill addicts a lot of good.
He apparently has a tattoo that says: FTBSITTTD Fuck The Bullshit It's Time To Throw Down
His story is bullshit. Of the above Pabst Blue Ribbon arrest, The Smoking Gun writes:
That episode--a violent, crack-fueled confrontation with Ohio cops that resulted in a passel of serious felony charges--is a crucial moment in "A Million Little Pieces," serving as a narrative maypole around which many other key dramatic scenes revolve and depend upon for their suspense and conflict. Frey has repeatedly asserted in press interviews that the book is "all true" and he told Winfrey, "I think I wrote about the events in the book truly and honestly and accurately."
And, if you don't think the truth is important, you won't care the the Bush White House is trying to get a NASA scientist to shut up about global warming:
Doesn't matter; might be better if the NASA guy wrote a book describing how he singlehandedly "throws down" with a hurricane and kicks its ass. He'll make millions.
Martha Stewart spent more time in jail for lying than this guy did for his Pabst-crack fest...I suggest we put him in woman's prison. He'd be somebody's bitch no matter which gender prison they sent him to....
Ford Motor Company was successfully sued by the family of someone who was injured when a driver *fell asleep at the wheel*. After he fell asleep, the Ford SUV crashed.
Ford Loses Fatal Crash Lawsuit Nov 17, 2005, 03:39 AM
A jury has ordered Ford to pay more than 61 million dollars to the family of a 17-year-old boy killed in a rollover accident in Florida. Lance Crossman Hall died when his friend feel asleep while driving a 1996 Explorer.
The jury said Ford was liable because it sold a vehicle with poor handling and stability. A Ford spokesman says the company plans to appeal. Hall's family claimed Ford knew the Explorer was prone to rollovers and failed to warn consumers about the vehicle's defects.
The driver of the 1996 Explorer, Melahn Parker, was charged with careless driving. A lawyer for the family says Parker attempted to regain control of the vehicle, but a handling problem with the Explorer caused it to turn sideways, triggering the rollover.

CR says that Sony, Panasonic, Canon, and Olympus have the *fewest* problems.
Pentax (sounds like a tampon brand), Konica/Minolta, and Toshiba are the least reliable, with Vivitar being the absolute least reliable.
In absolute numbers, about 2.5% of Sony digicams needed repairs, about 10% of Vivitar cameras did.
From the survery: "Based on 186,900 reader responses to our 2005 Annual Questionnaire about digital cameras bought new between 2002 and 2005. Data have been standardized to eliminate differences linked to age and usage. Differences of less than 4 points aren't meaningful."
For autos, CR's surveys have been dead on, at least for me....every car I have had has aged and been as reliable as they predicted it would be, even down to individual systems (cooling, electrical, etc....) But, yes, for all you statisticians out there, I know that is completely anecdotal, as "n" is very small in my case....I keep my cars a long time....
