British Pay Nurse $60,000 Per Year To Wipe Abu Hamza's Backside
I guess it just stands to reason, but really, not the sort of service you want to perform for this sort of person: [Hamza] is unable to clean himself as he could do himself an injury. So prison officials have hired a male nurse named Harry to perform the task. "Dirty Harry's" job -- terrorist ass wiper -- is not, however, the worst job in Britain. The worst job in Britain is assistant terrorist ass wiper. Thanks to Norm MacDonald for that joke, by way of Log Cabin. Thanks to Beaky. posted by Ace at 10:14 AM
CommentsI nominate this for 2006's "worst job", replacing last year's winner, asssistant crack whore. Of course nothing could be worse than the 1998 winner: Posted by: Log Cabin on January 12, 2006 10:21 AM
oh, that was the joke I couldn't find. Good Norm. Posted by: ace on January 12, 2006 10:24 AM

You gotta admit, though: That's one first-class booger hook. Posted by: BodaciousCowboy on January 12, 2006 10:32 AM
OK, nobody's said it yet, so I might as well: Better to be the guy who's paid to wipe Hamza's ass, than be a typical Euroweenie who'll kiss it for free. Posted by: Brown Line on January 12, 2006 10:32 AM

They can't print money fast enough or in large enough quantities for me to take that job. Posted by: harrison on January 12, 2006 10:39 AM
Makes me wonder what Dirty Harrys last job was, could this position be a step up? Posted by: scott on January 12, 2006 10:40 AM
If the US succeeds in extraditing him, Dirty Harry's job could be performed by Mumia Abu Jamal as part of his work program. Maybe he could use his fan letters for the paper that wipes this guy's ass. Posted by: Mark on January 12, 2006 10:42 AM
NOTE: I am NOT Dirty Harry. (shudder) Posted by: Harry Callahan on January 12, 2006 10:44 AM
That's odd, I just woke up from having a dream about being given a sponge bath by somewhat decent looking female nurse. Unfortunately the bathing occured in the heavily populated lobby of the hospital. Yeah that dream sucked. On a different note, a friend of my sister's back in high school broke both his arms and had them in casts. Full casts that immobilize the joint. The big question we used to ponder is: who exactly is wipping this kid's ass? his sister? his mom? ack. Posted by: Otho Laurence on January 12, 2006 10:44 AM

$60,000 a year to don rubber gloves and a facemask and wipe someone's butt once a day? That's 60 grand a year plus benefits for 10 minutes a day. And you people wouldn't take that job in lieu of say, eight hours a day a a MacDonalds for $15,000? Really? Posted by: Red Jode on January 12, 2006 10:58 AM
I'm on your wavelength, compos. I'm feeling kind of scared now. Posted by: skinbad on January 12, 2006 10:59 AM
He has one good hand, doesn't he? Let him wipe with that one. Posted by: shawn on January 12, 2006 11:02 AM
He has one good hand, doesn't he? Let him wipe with that one. I believe that would violate his religious beliefs. No, seriously. Posted by: benjamin on January 12, 2006 11:04 AM
Mark, torture is having to wipe this abomination's ass. Red Jode, there is no amount of money you could pay me to take this job, even for one time only. "Oh, your a billionaire!! How impressive! How did you make your money if you don't mind my asking? Was it in the stock market? No? How about oil? No? The lottery then? Hmm. Then what was it?" "I wiped a terrorist scumbag's ass after he made a stinky in his jail cell." End of fucking conversation. Skinbad, maybe I should be the nervous one ; ) Posted by: compos mentis on January 12, 2006 11:07 AM
What did he do before he went to jail? Frankly, if he has one good hand he should wipe his own ass - to hell with his "religious" scruples. Say something about the regidity of Islam, doesn't it, when a man with one hand can't wipe himself. Posted by: rabidfox on January 12, 2006 11:12 AM
Oh, BTW, why doesn't he get a HAND prothesis instead of that damned hook? Then he could do it himself. Posted by: rabidfox on January 12, 2006 11:13 AM
So that song, 'Money for nothing and your chicks for free' is not about butt wipers? Posted by: scott on January 12, 2006 11:16 AM
He could wipe his ass the way he did before he went into the slammer. I don't see why he can't use the hook thing, either. Just wrap some toilet paper aroud it. And exactly who holds his dick when he pees? He does. So, let him wipe his own butt. Posted by: shawn on January 12, 2006 11:29 AM
Let me tell you, that's the way you do it Posted by: lauraw on January 12, 2006 11:30 AM
ARRRRR! I'll send ye ta Davy Jones' Locker (peace be upon him.) Posted by: Sue Dohnim on January 12, 2006 11:34 AM

http://www.westons.com/acatalog/info_AA2650.html
Honestly, I think it can be made to attach to his hook. This, some duct tape, and a roll of ass swab are a lot cheaper then $60,000. Posted by: monica on January 12, 2006 12:12 PM
LW and Dave--LOL. Posted by: skinbad on January 12, 2006 12:14 PM
You know what? I bet he wasn't wiping his butt at all before they took him in, and that's why they hired the guy. Posted by: lauraw on January 12, 2006 12:20 PM
They need to take the hook away and give him a big foam college football finger instead. Posted by: skinbad on January 12, 2006 12:47 PM
'"Hooky" Hamza actually lost both hands plus an eye (arrrr...here comes ol' one-eye) during an ill-fated attempt at bomb-making; cleaning himself would be a bit of a challenge, unless they decorated his left hook with stones. And I feel obliged to point-out that "anus" is 4/7 of "tetanus". Posted by: Fatwa Arbuckle on January 12, 2006 12:57 PM
Hi, I'm going to be blogging from the Hamza trial as much as possible over the next month and have a few films I made with the supporters of shareeah on my blog. Would value all of your input. Posted by: dave bones on January 12, 2006 01:00 PM

It's all about the compassion now. Compassion. Yo Mark, I hate to contradict you, but I'm not sure that Andrew Sullivan would regard having a raging firehose in close proximity to a man's ass, as torture. I tend to think he'd be all like "hurts so good". Posted by: on January 12, 2006 01:35 PM

do they really let this guy keep his hooks while he's sitting in jail? a lot of prisons don't have metal chairs for fear that someone will use it as a weapon, and this guy's walkin around with fuckin claws Posted by: ramms on January 12, 2006 05:04 PM

I that a hook he has in place of a hand? i would be very very careful about being near a person like him Posted by: spurwing plover on January 12, 2006 09:38 PM
Yes, Spurwing, it's a hook. He can replace his hook with many items -- screwdriver, drill, or even a blender. Posted by: Bart on January 12, 2006 09:52 PM

You wanna hear something crazy??? Last summer this Brit commenter at my site who is an independent film maker who had been filming and interviewing this guy for a couple of years decides that Abdu and I MUST meet and discuss our world views while he tapes it. He sends the whole idea to the BBC assuring me that they will fly me over. It all falls through of course, but he tells me that this Abdu guy has READ MY SITE! And I get this weird e-mail from some arab assistant or something and OMG!!!! Freak out time. The Brit guy tells me to NOT answer it and that he doesn't THINK they are dangerous. Geeze.

What? Skeleton of the most famous Musketeer, D'Artagnan, possibly discovered in Dutch church closet.
Dumas picked four names of real musketeers out of a history book, D'Artagnan, Athos, Aramis, and Porthos. So there was an actual D'Artagnan, though he made most of the story up. (Or, you know, all of it.)* Charles de Batz de Castelmore, known as d'Artagnan, the famous musketeer of Kings Louis XIII and Louis XIV, spent his life in the service of the French crown. A lot of Dumas's stories are based on bits of real history. The plot of the >Three Musketeers, about trying to recover lost diamonds from the queen's necklace, was cribbed from the then-almost-contemporaneous Affair of the Queen's Necklace. And the Man in the Iron Mask is based on real accounts of a prisoner forced to wear a mask (though I think it was a velvet mask). * Oh, I should mention, Dumas says all this, about finding the names in an old book, in the prologue to his novel. But authors lie a lot. They frequently present fictions as based on historic fact. The twist is, he was actually telling the truth here. At least about these four musketeers having actually existed and served under Louis XIV. Fun fact: You know the beginning of A Fistful of Dollars where the local gunslingers make fun of Clint Eastwood's donkey and Eastwood demands they apologize to the donkey? That's lifted from The Three Musketeers. Rochefort mocks D'Artagnan's old, brokedown farm horse and D'Artagnan is incensed.
A commenter asked which should be read first, The Hobbit of LOTR?
Easy, no question -- read The Hobbit first. It's actually the start of the story and comes first chronologically. It sets up some major characters and major pieces in play in LOTR. Also, the Hobbit is Beginner-Friendly, which LOTR isn't. The Hobbit really is a delightful book, and a fast read. It's chatty, it's casual, it's exciting, and it's funny. In that dry cheeky British humor way. I love that the narrator is constantly making little asides and commentary, like he's just sitting next to you telling you this story as it occurs to him. LOTR is a very long story. Fifteen hundred pages or so. The Hobbit is relatively short and very punchy and easy to read. If you don't like The Hobbit, you can skip out on LOTR. If you do like it, you'll be primed to read LOTR. Oh, I should say: The Hobbit is written as if it's for children, but one of those smart children's stories that are also for adults. Don't worry, there's also real fighting and violence and horror in it, too. LOTR is written for adults. (It's said that Tolkien wrote both for his children, but LOTR was written 17 years later, when his children were adults.) Some might not like The Hobbit due to its sometimes frivolous tone. Me, I love it. I find it constantly amusing. Both are really good but there is a starkly different tone to both. LOTR is epic, grand, and serious, about a world war, The Hobbit is light and breezy, and about a heist. Though a heist that culminates in a war for the spoils.
The Hobbit Challenge: Read two more chapters. I didn't have much time. Bilbo got the ring.
I noticed a continuity problem. Maybe. Now, as of the time of The Hobbit, it was unknown that this magic ring was in fact a Ring of Power, and it was doubly unknown that it was the Ring of Power, the Master Ring that controlled the others. But the narrator -- who we will learn in LOTR was none of than Bilbo himself, who wrote the book as "There and Back Again" -- says this about Gollum's ring: "But who knows how Gollum had come by that present [the Ring], ages ago in the old days when such rings were still at large in the world? Perhaps even the Master who ruled them could not have said." In another passage, the ring is identified as a "ring of power." I don't know, I always thought there was a distinction between mere magic rings and the Rings of Power created by Sauron. But this suggests that Bilbo knew this was a ring of power created by Sauron. Now I don't remember when Bilbo wrote the Hobbit. In the movie, he shows Frodo the book in Rivendell, and I guess he wrote it after he left the Shire. I guess he might have added in the part about the ring being a ring of power created by "the Master" after Gandalf appraised him of his research into the ring. I never noticed this before. I know Tolkien re-wrote this chapter while he was writing LOTR to make the ring important from the start. And also to make Gollum more sinister and evil, and also to remove the part where Gollum actually offers Bilbo the ring as a "present" -- Bilbo had already found it on his own, but Gollum was wiling to give it away, which obviously is not something the rewritten Gollum would ever do. But I had no memory of the ring being suggested to be The Ring so early in the tale.

Tomorrow is March 25th, "Tolkien Reading Day," because March 25th is the day when the Ring is destroyed in the book. I think I'm going to start the Hobbit tomorrow and read all four books this time.
The only bad part of the trilogy are the Frodo/Sam chapters in The Two Towers. They're repetitive, slow, and mostly about the weather and terrain. But most everything else is good. Weirdly, the Frodo-Sam chapters in Return of the King are exciting and action-packed and among the best in the trilogy. (Though the chapters with everyone else in Return of the King get pretty slow again. Mostly people talking about marching towards war, and then marching towards war.)
