PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (Reuters) -- A man described by authorities as a known sexual predator was chased through the streets of South Philadelphia by an angry crowd of Catholic high school girls, who kicked and punched him after he was tackled by neighbors, police said Friday.
The girls came and started kicking him and punching him, so I wasn't going to stop them. -- Robert Lemons, neighbor
Rudy Susanto, 25, who had exposed himself to teen-age girls on as many as seven occasions outside St. Maria Goretti School, struck again on Thursday just as students were being dismissed, police said.
But this time, a group of girls in school uniforms angrily confronted Susanto with help from some neighbors, police said.
When Susanto tried to run, more than 20 girls chased him down the block. Two men from the neighborhood caught him and the girls took their revenge.
"The girls came and started kicking him and punching him, so I wasn't going to stop them," neighbor Robert Lemons told The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Susanto was later treated for injuries at a local hospital. Police said he would be charged with 14 criminal counts including harassment, disorderly conduct, open lewdness and corrupting the morals of a minor. Thread
SEC. RUMSFELD: Good afternoon. General Myers is not here, as you may have noticed. My friend is meeting with the chief of the armed services of Spain at the present time.
The task in Iraq remains difficult and dangerous. But as Jerry Bremer and John Abizaid, who were here, have said, there has been progress across a range of coalition activities over the past six months.
Our plan called for the establishment of an Iraqi cabinet of ministers, and the coalition did it in four months. It took 14 months in post-war Germany.
The plan called for the establishment of an independent Iraqi central bank. The coalition did it in two months. It took three years in post-war Germany.
Our plan called for the establishment of a new Iraqi currency. The coalition announced a new currency in two months, and begin circulating new Iraqi dinars in five months. It took three years in post-war Germany.
The plan called for the establishment of a new Iraqi police force. The coalition accomplished it in two months. It took 14 months in post-war Germany.
The plan called for the establishment of a new Iraqi army. The coalition began training within three months, and the first battalion had completed training in less than five months. It took 10 years in post- war Germany.
In less than six months, we've gone from zero Iraqis providing security to their country -- you don't have that chart; there it is -- to close to 100,000 Iraqis currently under arms. Indeed, the progress has been so swift that Iraq is already the second largest of the security forces in the coalition. It will not be long before they will be the largest and outnumber the U.S. forces, and it shouldn't be too long thereafter that they will outnumber all coalition forces combined. Continued
Haven't seen a report yet, they're prolly still tweaking the twisting.
From the link;" One of the candidates in the gubernatorial race, adult actress Mary Carey, is poised to begin shooting a sexy behind-the-scenes view of the campaign that will co-star fellow hopefuls "Ernie Gropenegger" and the state's lieutenant governor "Spooge Cruztamante", producers said Friday.
They'll act as if the whole thing is a computer game and should have been programed and formatted in a week.
Roast Pheasants with Chestnut Stuffing and Port and Chestnut Sauce
Those of us who lament the loss of real free-range flavour need look no further than pheasant, one of the finest flavoured game birds. Chestnuts, which have a great affinity with pheasant, thankfully now come ready peeled, which cuts out a lot of tiresome work.
Serves 4
2 pheasants, about 1 lb 14 oz (750 g) each
2 oz (50 g) butter, softened
6 rashers dry-cure streaky bacon, derinded and cut in half salt and freshly milled black pepper
For the chestnut stuffing:
4 oz (110 g) chestnuts from a 200g vacuum pack, roughly chopped (reserve remainder for sauce)
1/2 oz (10 g) butter
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
3 rashers dry-cure streaky bacon, derinded and chopped
1 heaped tablespoon chopped parsley
2 level teaspoons fresh chopped thyme
4 oz (110 g) pork sausagemeat
pinch ground mace
For the port and chestnut sauce:
3 fl oz (75 ml) ruby port
remainder of chestnuts, halved
1 level tablespoon plain flour
1/2 pint (275 ml) Giblet Stock (click here for recipe) or use 1 x 284 ml carton chicken stock
You will also need a roasting tin 10 x 14 inches (22.5 x 35 cm) and some foil.
Pre-heat oven to gas mark 6, 400°F (200°C).

I wonder how much styling time was required to achieve the chia pet look?
Looks like the dog is very smart.
Dog think: Kerry's shooting that way, I'll high tail it thisa way!
Speaking of fine cuisine, we were offered baked beans for breakfast last year in London. Of course, we declined. After a couple days of those massive, artery-clogging English breakfasts, I was desperate for a piece of fruit or cup of yogurt.
The Daily News reports, however:
Rosie O'Donnell Don't mess with Rosie - if you know what's good for you. That was the clear impression the first editor of Rosie O'Donnell's self-titled magazine had of the former talk show host. "I did feel that if I disagreed with Rosie too much, that would jeopardize my job," said former Rosie editor-in-chief Cathy Cavender. "She was my boss."
.... But by June 2002, Cavender said, O'Donnell had sent her an E-mail saying she was unhappy with the magazine and wanted it to be "edgier." .... That E-mail concerned Cavender because it suggested an article by convicted killer Lyle Menendez, a cover photo of Mike Tyson and his baby, an interview with accused killer Robert Blake and a cover story on Boy George.
At the same time, she said, Gruner + Jahr was complaining that the magazine was already too edgy, and its chief executive officer suggested making it more like People magazine. link to story

The problem is that Rosie didn't know squat about what sells, but you can guess that her all-female readership wouldn't have gone wild over murderers and wife beaters.
