CBS Baltimore is reporting that a fetish festival that was supposed to happen this weekend coming at the DuBurns Arena in Canton, Baltimore has been cancelled after the new owners of the arena, Coppermine, got a court injunction to prevent the event taking place.
Apparently, a contract had been signed by the previous management of the arena. And Coppermine were so desperate to get out of the contract that they asked a court to intervene.
Now, there were arguments about the event not being right for the area, and that the event would have contravened the new owner's policies, but at the end of the day, a contract is a contract, and should be honoured. Just think, if they are prepared to find a way to not honour this, then they could be prepared to find a way to not honour anything else that they might happen to personally disagree with.
Would they find a way to not honour a wrestling show perhaps, becuase of health and safety concerns? Or maybe a fashion show might not get the go-ahead because the outfits being modeled might be too racy?
If I were organising an event in Baltimore of any kind, I'd be reticent about hiring the DuBurns Arena now, as I'd be wondering if they might find some obscure reason not to honour the contract.

Ron Paul on Face The Nation
Strange to hear a Republican admit that 9/11 was the fault of the US Government.

“Hope For Haiti Now” – a global telethon.
“Hope For Haiti Now” is something of a first. A global telethon that will truly be seen worldwide.
CNN International will be airing the 2 hour telethon at 8pm ET / 5pm PT / 0100 GMT / 0200 CET. It is also being aired internationally on National Geographic Channels around the world and MTV channels around the world, including China.
In Canada, the CBC and CTV are both airing the telethon. So far, I have heard nothing about any UK or Irish terrestrial broadcasters taking the telethon. US Local broadcasters, including affiliates of ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, The CW and PBS, are airing the telethon at 8pm local time, except in the Central time zone where it airs at 7pm.
Any further news on broadcasters airing the telethon, I’ll let you know.

Katie Couric: Court History
I do like Katie’s notebook pieces. These short 1 minute pieces have slowly become the template for my Viewpoint pieces in terms of length and commentary style, with some of my own touches added. I could never talk for just a minute about anything, but it does help to have a prompter that has a 2500 character limit on it. Helps me keep my writing concise.
