:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::
"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.:: 6.23.2003 ::

From The Canada.com:
Intruder talked his way past security to get access to Prince William's party
It's believed Barschak got into Windsor Castle by scaling an embankment, climbing a tree and jumping onto a wall, from which he gained access to a terrace.
According to one newspaper report, he managed to get onto the stage with William as the prince was thanking the Queen and his father, Prince Charles, for organizing the costume party, which had an African theme.
Barschak reportedly grabbed the microphone from William and began shouting: "I am Osama, I am Osama," before he was taken into police custody on suspicion of burglary.
The Conservative party's home affairs critic said the stunt by Barschak, who is known as the Comedy Terrorist, shows there is a need for a minister with exclusive responsibility for security.
Fred Barschak said he thinks his son may have been trying to promote an upcoming show. "He does not tell me everything about what he plans to do," he told reporters outside his London home on Sunday. "He dresses up as Osama bin Laden, but I have to stress he would not harm anyone."
Barschak was photographed and filmed clowning around outside Windsor Castle as guests arrived for the private party. He was dressed in a salmon-pink ball gown, white turban, fake beard and sunglasses.
