Authorities in South Carolina say they arrested a 50-year-old convenience store clerk who sold cigarettes and smokeless tobacco to boys after they let him spank them.
Lexington County deputies said Tuesday that they started investigating Terrence Bryant (Who seems to suffer a poor quality of mustache) ---> after the father of a 12-year-old boy found him with a pack of Newport cigarettes earlier this month.
Detectives say Bryant sold the boy cigarettes at least five times from his pickup truck, spanking the child in the parking lot over his clothes.
Deputies say Bryant also sold tobacco to two 15-year-old boys after spanking them.
Bryant is charged with three counts of lewd act upon a child under age 16. He is awaiting a bond hearing and deputies say he doesn't have an attorney yet.
Lexington County is in central South Carolina.

Why Gamers Need to Support Ninja Theory
http://www.thebeerbarrel.net/showthread.php?7854-Why-Gamers-Need-to-Support-Ninja-Theory
Warning: This editorial contains spoilers for Heavenly Sword and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.
One of the most controversial moments in gaming for 2010 was the announcement of Ninja Theory's new take on the Devil May Cry series, simply titled DmC. Ninja Theory, developers behind the PlayStation 3 exclusive Heavenly Sword and the multiplatform Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, drew heavy scrutiny for their drastically different take on Devil May Cry series protagonist Dante. This new Dante, seemingly designed for the Twilight crowd, was universally hated by fans, and both Ninja Theory and Capcom received heavy backlash. However, I'm here to tell you that we as gamers should have faith in Ninja Theory, and that Devil May Cry is in good hands.

Child Brides
http://www.thebeerbarrel.net/showthread.php?7853-Child-Brides
Because the wedding was illegal and a secret, except to the invited guests, and because marriage rites in Rajasthan are often conducted late at night, it was well into the afternoon before the three girl brides in this dry farm settlement in the north of India began to prepare themselves for their sacred vows. They squatted side by side on the dirt, a crowd of village women holding sari cloth around them as a makeshift curtain, and poured soapy water from a metal pan over their heads. Two of the brides, the sisters Radha and Gora, were 15 and 13, old enough to understand what was happening. The third, their niece Rajani, was 5. She wore a pink T-shirt with a butterfly design on the shoulder. A grown-up helped her pull it off to bathe.

Vitaly Borker thought he had found a new way of making money on the internet. On his website DecorMyEyes.com, Borker marketed cheap knock-off sunglasses as the real thing and added insult to injury by providing the worst possible customer service. As he anticipated, the tidal wave of negative comments boosted his site to Google’s first page. When disgruntled customers complained, he responded by threatening to kill or rape them. In one case, he told a customer’s boss that his employee was a gay drug dealer. This behavior only increased the flood of complaints, which in turn brought more attention to the website.

Buchanan - What Must We Defend?

"We need to be honest with the president, with the Congress, with the American people" about the consequences of cutting the defense budget, said Secretary of Defense Robert Gates in his valedictory policy address to the American Enterprise Institute.
"(A) smaller military, no matter how superb, will be able to go fewer places and do fewer things."
Gates seeks to ignite a debate the country seems reluctant to have. With a federal budget running out of balance by 10 percent of gross domestic product, what are we Americans willing to sacrifice? What are we willing to forego? What are we willing to cut?

Republican Sports Fans And The Affirmative Action They Cheer For

Over the years, the thing I’ve been vilified for the most is my pointing out, patiently, that there are long-lasting connections between ancestry and average intelligence—and that these matter for a broad range of issues, including, of course, immigration. (Here are my 2007Frequently Asked Questions lists about IQ and race.)
It’s not hard to understand why most Democrats are so angry and unreasonable about this. It suggests that that America’s post 1965 immigration disaster, which they constantly gloat about because of what they think will be its short-term political effects, will in fact prove profoundly negative for America.
