SNIPPETS

SEPTEMBER 21,  2009

DETROIT, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- A 61-year-old man says he wants a Detroit casino to return the $673,854 he lost at the site during a decade of regular gambling.  The Detroit News said Sunday that professional engineer Italo Mario Parise is suing the MotorCity Casino for allegedly failing to stop him from gambling once he endured significant losses.

With that mentality, Obama could make him gambling czar.  "Stop me while I'm having fun!"

Actual AP headline today:  Experts: Defense in Yale Killing Has Tough Job

Yeah, probably.  Someone has been watching CSI.

The latest advice from the British government, via The Telegraph:  A five-page advice booklet tells civil servants that eating lunch near a colleague who is fasting can make them feel hungry.  The Home Office Islamic Network produced the advice which said: “In practical terms, please be sensitive when eating lunch near a Muslim colleague who is fasting.  This can make an individual feel hungrier and make it more challenging to observe the fast.”

I'd love to know if Muslim governments around the world give advice on being sensitive to Westerners, Christians and Jews.  Just asking.
