Austin Grandmother Tasered at Traffic Stop

A 72-year-old woman was pulled over for speeding, then tazered and sent to jail. The lady says she drives to Austin about twice a month to do her shopping.

The police claim that after the grandma was stopped for driving 15 miles over the speed limit in a construction zone, she disobeyed an order to sign the speeding ticker, used profane language, and became “violent.” They say the officer who taserer her and took her to be booked for resisting arrest was completely justified.

Entertaining in a Downturn.

Management Today business illustration on organising a staff party with doom all around.

"Do say: ‘In the light of the economic situation we are going to carefully review money we spend on entertaining, to ensure it is effective and essential to the business.’

Don’t say: ‘You are invited to our grand Credit Crunch Ball. Dress code: Thirties-style Depression.’"

Exposition "Jacques Tati and Friends"

En écho à la fascinante modernité rétro de la villa Arpel, j'ai trouvé amusant d'imaginer une pochette de disque très "fifties" dans le genre "Dansons avec Jacques Tati et son Orchestre". Le personnage de la “voisine” est très marrant à dessiner, c’est d’ailleurs mon préféré dans le film.

L’exposition “Tati and Friends” aura lieu à la Seed Factory en janvier 2010.

Today in English : Flying Pigs

News from Texas, USA.

Texans may soon be allowed to hunt wild pigs from helicopters.

The measure was proposed in response to complaints about the destruction caused by two million wild pigs.

Agriculture experts estimate that $52 million a year of crop damage is caused by the beasts but not everyone is happy about citizens taking to the air with hunting rifles !
