made me laugh...

From the comic Two Lumps

we'll take what we can get...

RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 23 - Gen. Augusto Pinochet, the former military dictator of Chile, was arrested today in Santiago, Chile, on tax fraud and passport forgery charges arising from secret bank accounts, holding millions of dollars, that he maintained under false names in the United States and elsewhere.

Since returning to Chile after being freed from detention in Britain in 1998, General Pinochet has twice been formally accused of human rights violations that occurred during the 17 years he was in power. But this new indictment marks the first time he has been charged with other crimes, and lawyers said the likelihood of a trial and conviction was higher.

Sometimes, the bad guys do get caught - even if (as in this case) they have to go for a more "minor" offence. So long as the fucker ends up in jail, rotting away the rest of his sorry life.

thanks...

Thanks to everyone who made it along last night - I had a good night, and celebrated my 35th in a very fun way.

And yes, I too was amazed that the 1937 Galway Pipe port was sooooo damn nice.
