"COLOMBO (Reuters) - Four Sri Lankan men got more than they bargained for when they tried to molest two women in a central Sri Lankan town -- only to find one of their would-be victims was a karate champion, a newspaper said on Thursday.
The men had grabbed the two women and dragged them into a bush by the road leading to the town of Matale when one of women started to fight back, said the Daily News.
It said two of the men were felled by neat blows ``where men are most vulnerable,'' while the other two bolted.
The newspaper identified the women as Dulcia Sirisena, who was recently named Grand Champion at the Open Karate Championships in India.
The four assailants were later arrested by police."

mmm. gotta love this jim jeffords business. imagine a politician actually acting on conscience and in the process wreaking havoc on his ideological opposition. and a sour lot they are. just check out some of the quotes kurtz culls from their rags like the ny post natl rev or the wall st. journal.but jonah goldbergs excesses are unmatched as he dreams of the possibility of sewing a half starved weasel into jeffords small intestines as retribution. hes only projecting his displeasure he would surely argue but who writes shit like that in what i imagine they would consider a reputable magazine?? man if i ever had the chance i would take jonah goldberg and id nail him to the floor pour gallons of honey over him and send in millions of ravenous carnivorous ants which would devour him whole over the course of a few days but not before setting up camp in his liver and breeding inside his lungs. but thats just me.
meanwhile that tax cut breezes through the senate 62 - 38 (with jeffords voting for it) but it hopefully represents an end and not a beginning. maybe this is wishful thinking.

vermont senator to leave republican party. balance of power expected to shift to democrats. daschle expected to be named senate majority leader. does that mean they can squash the tax cut?
road show
"The scroll on which Jack Kerouac composed "On the Road" 50 years ago was auctioned yesterday at Christie's in Manhattan for $2.4 million, setting the world auction record for a literary manuscript and significantly eclipsing its presale estimate of $1 million to $1.5 million.
The winning bidder, James Irsay, the owner and chief executive of the Indianapolis Colts, walked away to rousing applause with one of the foremost literary relics of the 20th century."

"FREMONT, Calif. -- Once upon a time, before Steven Brill knew Jim Romenesko's e-mail address, before The New Yorker discovered Weblogs, the best source for information about what journalists were doing on the Web sites was Tom Mangan, a full-time copy editor for the Peoria Journal Star."
