Jennifer Aniston love letters are for sale. They’d have to pay me to read the things. Apparently they are the property of a California lawyer who claims he had a summer romance in 1984 with Aniston, is selling keepsakes such as a makeshift birthday card she wrote on a piece of toilet paper and a childhood picture of the pair. Michael Baroni was 16 and she was 15 at the time.

The whole shebang will go up on July 29, and have an eBay reserve of $100K.

The pop culture vultures will be all over this I’m sure.

What will at least a hundred grand buy you?

• a piece of paper with Aniston’s name and phone number written in lipstick
• a love letter from Aniston handwritten in red pen
• a note written on toilet paper with birthday wishes from Aniston to Baroni on his 17th birthday
• a page from Baroni’s little black book containing Aniston’s contact information
• a photo of the pair hugging when they first met in 1974
• an autographed photo from the cast of “Friends”
• a December 2004 copy of In Touch magazine with an article about their relationship
• a notarized statement by Baroni certifying and attesting to the authenticity of the materials

I really couldn’t care less, of course.

An electronic fly swatter. Instead of the normal mesh there is a grill of metal wires that are electrified when you push the button on the handle.  When you hit a bug with it, they fry instantly and fall to the ground dead.

Sweet.

Next time you pass a marker on the road, stop and read it. You might be surprised at what you learn.

The WBE at Toys”R”Us is scheduled for August 13. I would think that the seminars could be interesting, especially if there is a shortage of babies.

A couple of blog sites are covering the recent bomb blast in Egypt. They’re worth a visit.

Britain Says Man Killed by Police Had No Tie to Bombings

Scotland Yard admitted Saturday that a man police officers chased and shot to death at point-blank range in front of horrified subway passengers on Friday had nothing to do with the investigation into the bombing attacks here.

Senior investigators and officials of the Metropolitan Police said the man was believed to be South American; it was not known whether he was Muslim. No explosives or weapons were found on the man’s body after the shooting, police officials said.

The incident sent shock waves through the country’s 1.6 million Muslims, already alarmed by a publicly acknowledged shoot-to-kill policy directed against suspected suicide bombers. And it has dealt a major setback to the police investigation into suspected terrorist cells in London.

“This really is an appalling set of circumstances,” said John O’Connor, a former police commander. “The consequences are quite horrible.”

Azzam Tamimi, head of the Muslim Association of Britain, said: “This is very frightening. People will be afraid to walk the streets, or go on the tube, or carry anything in their hands.”

I’m actually surprised that there hasn’t been more incidents like this. The police have got to be under extreme pressure to find those responsible for the recent bombing attempts. Combating terrorism is tough business. It’s a no win situation for the authorities. When you press hard, mistakes are bound to happen. If you delay, another incident could occur.

Not much going on. I’ve checked the liberal blogs. I’ve checked my conservative blog buddies. Zip, nadda, nothing.

Nothing out of the ordinary, that is.

• There are a dozen places to go to read about John Roberts.
• There are three dozen places to go to read about London.
• There are just as many places to go to read about the recent bombing in Egypt.
• Oh, and it’s hot in the west, where temperatures continue to skyrocket (thanks Drudge!)

So you see, not much of anything really happening.

Over and out.

This man is dangerous.

HATE-filled Omar Bakri Mohammed sparked new outrage yesterday by admitting he would NOT tell police if he knew extremists were planning suicide bomb attacks.

The firebrand Islamic cleric told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “If I know anybody who wants to take any action in this country, I will stop him.”

But he added: “No, I will never go to police.”

Bakri, 45, of Edmonton, North London, refused to condemn the 7/7 attacks.

He said: “Muslims are obliged to defend themselves. For them to do operations among people with whom they live side to side, Islam forbids that.

“You need yourself to leave them and live very far away from them and then fight them, that is what I believe.”

He claimed he had helped protect Britain from Islamic extremists.

But he added: “Unfortunately, after we have been banned from any activities we become completely isolated from the youth. And the youth start to go forward to somebody else abroad.”

The Sun has called for Bakri, who openly says he hates Britain but is happy to live on state handouts, to be deported.

As long as there are people like Omar Bakri Mohammed, bombs will continue to go off aboard Tube carriages and double-decker buses.

He must be stopped.

What would you say to a suicide bomber?

A TUBE passenger last night told how he watched a suicide bomber bungle his intended atrocity.

Abisha Moyo was on his way to Hammersmith, west London, when he heard what sounded like a gunshot.

The 28-year-old said: “I turned round and there was a man lying with his arms outstretched on top of a rucksack face up. Some girls started screaming. The emergency cable was pulled and everyone starting moving away from him.”

“I went up to him and said: ‘Are you all right, mate?’ But he just ignored me and kept his eyes shut.

“He looked about 19 or 20. He was of mixed race, clean shaven and he was dressed smartly in jeans, a navy blue T-shirt and a baseball cap.

“The rucksack was ripped at the bottom with some kind of muslin showing and some gooey lard coming out of it.

“I could see what looked like a pressurised canister or tube and there was a strong smell of vinegar.”

Unbelievable.
