1. Cenk, you make "caning" sound like getting a swat from grandma. Have you ever seen martial artists fight with rattan sticks?
"Caning" would be considered torture even by bush-Cheney Junta standards.

2. Cenk
You have found the story that fits you to a "T".
Your type of class.
Cenk, as usual, you fail to do a little effort into your work, probably being distracted by the cartoons while you are working.
The subject who was arrested in Singapore that you report was for just "sniffing armpits", was actually arrested for molesting 23 woman over a 15 month period. The charges included the smelling, but was mainly charged with the sexual touching of woman without their consent. Subject also has a record of prior sexual arrests.
Not that the 14 years in jail and the caining are right or wrong, but they are all the facts that were in the original press release.
Cenk, can't you ever get a story correct?
Or is it that you a to lazy to find a good story, so you make the best of what you find.

4. I was amazed by Cenk's first sentence, since I would characterize most of Cenk's stories as absurd.

5. Archer - Spell check. It's a wonderful invention. When you goof up "stupidity" that's not good. And I know this is America and we have freedom and everything, but really, lose the caps.

6. Maybe Cenk got the memo.
This is the kind of story he should stick with.
I agree David #4, it's been a while (a very long while) since Cenk has given us a story that was not absurd.

7. Thank you Robert OKane, as usual we would not know the real story on this board without you or another sane commenter filling us in or finding it ourself.
How can anyone be as truth challenged as Cenk? He lies even when the truth is a better story.
That's pathological.
And who is the stupid girl? All she ever does is sit there and giggle.
Davidg at 9:54AM on Jun 17th 2008
8. Davidg-
The girl is Ana. Buy her shoes, and she'll follow you anywhere.
Okane-
Finally found an appropriate target for your vitriol, I see. And at least this time you are correct.

Ya'll better leave Ana alone.
She is too much woman for you, or what?
