Around the world

Women drivers hit the road in Saudi Arabia.

It used to be that the victims of gangsters were primarily other gangsters. Mexico’s drug cartels ratchet up the savagery.

Paco Enterprises studying German insurance company compensation plan.

Kevin Rudd plans an Assassination Day party. I invite Australian readers to provide additional context; however, it does strike me that the Labor Party is in a state of chaos. Are things always this lively down under?

Man arrested (again) for selling Obama condoms.

The weirdest reincarnation story I have ever read.

Chinese virgins wanted.

I was just over at Tim Blair's reading the Rudd party post and a terrible thought occurred to me: can you imagine the years and years we have to look forward to of Barky being and ex-president? Don't get me wrong, I hope it starts in 2013, but I don't see him going quietly into dignified retirement as W has done.

I've got my anniversary treat right here. Come the 24th...I'll be fairly PO'd if Kevin upstages me.
And no, our political scene is not usually so dramatic. Then again, we don't usually have so much venality, moral superiority and plain old incompetence concentrated on the Treasury benches in Canberra.
The last time it got close to this was under Whitlam during the 70's. At my age therefore, I have a fairly good chance of not being around to see the government that makes our current assembly of clowns seem reasonable by comparison.

Whoops - that second anonymous (5:18) was me.
I'll send you the link on the day, Paco.

Just look at Jimmy Carter. Oy!

As for the Chinese virgins....there must be a way for Paco Enterprises to, ummmmmm, grab this opportunity. And I'd like to offer my services as quality control supervisor.

No, JeffS, that's a job for proper Black Hatters only.

Ummm, Paco, I've been unemployed for over a year now....sure could use a job.

I wouldn't need a salary, just the perquisites would be fine by me!

As for Chinese virgins, who doesn't want one?

The key, I think, is in the details. If Paco Enterprises organizes an orgy but only provides an air mattress and a couple bottles of body oil to the salesmen then it may be interpreted more as a punishment than as an "incentive trip."

Rinardman: Out of work for a year? Desperate for a job? Will work on, er, a commission basis? You sound like ideal Paco Enterprises material!

Just send in a resume and the one-time application-processing fee of $100, and we'll try to fix you up.

Remember our corporate motto - Paco Enterprises: Letting employees go first (or was it "putting employees first"? Meh. Six of one, a half dozen of the other...)
