Noo Yawkah gives Borat knuckle sandwich - My knuckles are feeling the love

This is soooo satisfying:

BORAT star Sacha Baron Cohen was beaten up by a passer-by after he tried to play a prank as his alter ego.
He approached the man and said: “I like your clothings. Are nice! Please may I buying? I want have sex with it.”

But the bystander didn’t see the joke. He took one look at Cohen and punched him in the face.

The funnyman — known for his Borat catchphrase “Jagshemash!” — yelled for help but was slugged again and again.

New York, my kinda' town...

And not to seem prejudiced against the rest of the good ole' US of A, here's the response of a southern resident to the humoristic stylings of Mr. Cohen:

Is it just me, or does something stink in this Pollard story?

Something here seems really off about this story, as though the FBI is going out of its way to cause a stink about Pollard, and thrash even any possible chatter of a "release deal:"

From The Jerusalem Post:

According to new evidence released by the FBI on Monday, Jonathan Pollard not only passed classified information on to Israel, but also to Pakistan and Australia.
In a presentation given by FBI agent Ronald Olive that was broadcast on Channel 10, it was also revealed that Pollard was illegally involved in arms sales to Taiwan, France, Kenya, Afghanistan, and Argentina.

In his report, Olive made no mention of what type of information Pollard passed to Australia and Pakistan, nor of how it was transferred.
I saw the film clip on Channel 10 this evening, where Olive boasted about what he considered the amateurishness of how Rafi Eitan ran the affair, and something - maybe just my "Spidey sense" - redlined.
