Not How the Game is Played
Mediocre article in the
American Spectator criticizing Kerry for his support of Aristide. While Kerry's support of Aristide is of course interesting in light of what a thug the latter became, this bit made me swallow my gum:
Aristide was a known inciter of "necklacing," the practice of throwing flaming tires around opponents' heads.
While this sounds like a somewhat interesting sport, one would suppose it would be quite challenging and dangerous to the thrower as well as the throwee. Of course the actual sport is a little less, err,
sporting:
Necklacing refers to throwing a rubber tire over a victim’s neck, dousing it with gasoline and igniting it thus burning the victim to death.
