"A Truther TV Crew was roughed up and bloodied by cops down the street from Obama’s $1.4 million vacation home.Culture of corruption. Enforce the law but not required to follow it.
Five cars of police officers trailed them, harassed them at a gas station and smashed their camera on the car."
Cunningham claimed he was out for a walk when broke into a home where his wife and the other man were. Investigators said Cunningham tore the screen door off the man's house and struck him. The officer's wife was injured as she tried to break up the struggle.WTF? He only gets demoted? I guess the cops are a privileged class. Would the same consideration be given to any number of school administrators in this area who are fired upon being arrested (Not even convicted!) of a DWI? I think not. I'm so weary of this culture of corruption.
Two of the charges against him were dropped as part of a plea deal. If Cunningham had been convicted of the felony attempted residential entry or the domestic battery count, he would not have been allowed to own a gun, and could not have been an officer.
It is very likely that a large (15-20 cm in diameter), irregularly-shaped, cm-thick pancake with beveled edges, taped to the abdomen, would be invisible to this technology, ironically, because of its large volume, since it is easily confused with normal anatomy. Thus, a third of a kilo of PETN, easily picked up in a competent pat down, would be missed by backscatter "high technology".h/t Boing Boing
Yes. I do. And . . . I will add that I particularly despise Barack Obama as he continues to diminish the Office of the President in ways that George Bush (who I thought to be at best 'adequate' but not intelligent) never did and as also Bill Clinton (who even when regarding his peccadilloes) never did.
WASHINGTON -- Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano today announced the expansion of the Department’s national “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign to hundreds of Walmart stores across the country—launching a new partnership between DHS and Walmart to help the American public play an active role in ensuring the safety and security of our nation.Excellent! Can I report all the illegals in the fucking Walmart I frequent?
“Homeland security starts with hometown security, and each of us plays a critical role in keeping our country and communities safe,” said Secretary Napolitano. “I applaud Walmart for joining the ‘If You See Something, Say Something’ campaign. This partnership will help millions of shoppers across the nation identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to law enforcement authorities.”
Colts owner Jim Irsay gave away $2,000 cash and four tickets to Sunday's Colts game at Lucas Oil Stadium in a Twitter scavenger hunt.How generous of ol' big-hearted Jim. After we wrote him a check for $5 million AND built him a stadium.
During a search of Bowden’s home, agents located three semi-automatic handguns and a semi-automatic rifle--all of which were “fully loaded, with rounds in the firing chamber--near his bed. In Bowden’s son’s bedroom, agents found 12 other guns, while a “loaded, short-barrel shotgun” was found near the home’s front door.That would be judged a good start by myself and a fair number of people I know.

An officer made contact with two students sitting in a vehicle and upon opening the door, observed a cloud of smoke that smelled an odor commonly associated with burnt marijuana. The students admitted they had smoked all the marijuana earlier and were released.
"Members of the press did not have access to the beach outing today and were kept on a bus in Friedman's driveway, according to White House press pool reports."Hahahahahahahaha! After all the work getting Obama elected and spinning for him afterwards, you get to sit in a hot bus in someone's driveway while he and his family frolics on a private beach on which you, the Hired Help, aren't allowed. I bet you weren't even allowed into the house to use the potty but had to use (and likely fill) the toilet on the bus. All I have to say is:
. . . enrollment officials across the state say hundreds of hours of staff time were wasted sorting through applications and trying to follow up with students who never had any intention of attending college.So instead of updating their Facebook pages, bidding on Ebay, or just surfing pr0n, the folks in Enrollment Services had to do real work? Awwwwww.
Indiana University says the free week of applications cost it more than $300,000. IU says it will not waive application fees this year.Now I didn't just fall off the sugar beet truck. They had more applications because it was free. If kids would have had to pay for the enrollment application, then there would likely have been fewer applications. So the $300,000 cost is. . .BULLSHIT.
The man drove up to a Hell's Angels clubhouse near Munich, wearing only a pair of shorts and carrying a puppy.Escaped from a biker gang on a bulldozer?
He dropped his shorts and threw the dog, escaping on a bulldozer from a nearby building site.

The 9mm Glock with a full magazine of 10 bullets and a holster were discovered in an interior compartment of Robillard’s bag as it went through x-ray machine at the airport’s Checkpoint A at 6:05 a.m. . . .In the police report, there was no explanation from why Robillard had the gun.Uhh, she had it for personal protection and forgot it was there? According to the article she wasn't licensed to carry it. Whoops!
You laugh as R'lyeh rises and we're all collectively ass-fucked. I know whom I'll pray to!=- Shermlock Shomes
A man apparently trying to rob some Near-Northside residents was killed Sunday when one of the would-be victims pulled a gun and shot the assailant, authorities said.And the defender had a permit, too. Now I'm waiting for the editorial saying, "See, it works!" Wonder how long I'll have to wait?
If one or more of you fucksticks show up at the Dallas Tea Party this Thursday, and proceed to produce racist signage, or yell racist bullshit; I'm following you home and then going to physically fuck you up like you've never before imagined.
My advice? Bring lots of friends, and some bandages. When I show up, there won't be any cameras or police around to assist or document your beating.
You see, I'm not like the other Tea Party members.
Every year, thousands of people find themselves caught up in the government’s terrorist screening process. Some are legitimate targets of concern, others are victims of errors in judgment or simple mistaken identity.So there's a bunch of folks who are on that list that shouldn't be? And we can infer that the New York Times has a real problem with this? Well, does anyone remember this?
Either way, their numbers are likely to rise as the Obama administration recalibrates the standards for identifying potential terrorists. . .
"They're saying, 'Where do we get the free Obama care, and how do I sign up for that?' " said Carrie McLean, a licensed agent for eHealthInsurance.com. The California-based company sells coverage from 185 health insurance carriers in 50 states.Wait a minute! I thought there was a crisis and that's why this had to be rammed through? Now these poor folks aren't going to get their stuff, much less free, until 2014? My reponse:
. . . .
"We tell them it's not free, that there are going to be things in place that help people who are low-income, but that ultimately most of that is not going to be taking place until 2014," McLean said.
They've been called Oreos, traitors and Uncle Toms, and are used to having to defend their values. Now black conservatives are really taking heat for their involvement in the mostly white tea party movement — and for having the audacity to oppose the policies of the nation's first black president.Hmmm. Mostly white? I guess so, but demographics according to Gallup:
. . . that as he left the Cannon House Office Building with Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., a leader of the civil rights era, some among the crowd chanted "the N-word, the N-word, 15 times."As Gateway Pundit points out:
The Black Caucus members and democratic-media complex STILL have not provided any proof that the N-word was said once, let alone 15 times, as Rep. Andre Carson claimed.So André, with all the filming that took place around your little march, PROVE that someone called you names. I dare you!
by Robert Churchill shows that violence was a part of pre-Independence political discourse through the time of the Civil War and on into the 20th century.. . . the Tea Partiers are closer to the New Left. They don’t seek to form a counter-establishment because they don’t believe in establishments or in authority structures. They believe in the spontaneous uprising of participatory democracy.
. . . both the New Left and the Tea Party movement are radically anticonservative. Conservatism is built on the idea of original sin — on the assumption of human fallibility and uncertainty. To remedy our fallen condition, conservatives believe in civilization — in social structures, permanent institutions and just authorities, which embody the accumulated wisdom of the ages and structure individual longings.
That idea was rejected in the 1960s by people who put their faith in unrestrained passion and zealotry. The New Left then, like the Tea Partiers now, had a legitimate point about the failure of the ruling class. But they ruined it through their own imprudence, self-righteousness and naïve radicalism.

The Female Of The Species
When the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride,
He shouts to scare the monster who will often turn aside.
But the she-bear thus accosted rends the peasant tooth and nail,
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
When Nag, the wayside cobra, hears the careless foot of man,
He will sometimes wriggle sideways and avoid it if he can,
But his mate makes no such motion where she camps beside the trail -
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
When the early Jesuit fathers preached to Hurons and Choctaws,
They prayed to be delivered from the vengeance of the squaws -
'Twas the women, not the warriors, turned those stark enthusiasts pale -
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Man's timid heart is bursting with the things he must not say,
For the Woman that God gave him isn't his to give away;
But when hunter meets with husband, each confirms the others tale -
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Man, a bear in most relations, worm and savage otherwise,
Man propounds negotiations, Man accepts the compromise;
Very rarely will he squarely push the logic of a fact
To its ultimate conclusion in unmitigated act.
Fear, or foolishness, impels him, ere he lay the wicked low,
To concede some form of trial even to his fiercest foe.
Mirth obscene diverts his anger; Doubt and Pity oft perplex
Him in dealing with an issue - to the scandal of the Sex!
But the Woman that God gave him, every fibre of her frame
Proves her launched for one sole issue, armed and engined for the same,
And to serve that single issue, lest the generations fail,
The female of the species must be deadlier than the male.
She who faces Death by torture for each life beneath her breast
May not deal in doubt or pity - must not swerve for fact or jest.
These be purely male diversions - not in these her honor dwells -
She, the Other Law we live by, is that Law and nothing else!
She can bring no more to living than the powers that make her great
As the Mother of the Infant and the Mistress of the Mate;
And when Babe and Man are lacking and she strides unclaimed to claim
Her right as femme (and baron), her equipment is the same.
She is wedded to convictions - in default of grosser ties;
Her contentions are her children, Heaven help him, who denies!
He will meet no cool discussion, but the instant, white-hot wild
Wakened female of the species warring as for spouse and child.
Unprovoked and awful charges - even so the she-bear fights;
Speech that drips, corrodes and poisons - even so the cobra bites;
Scientific vivisection of one nerve till it is raw,
And the victim writhes with anguish - like the Jesuit with the squaw!
So it comes that Man, the coward, when he gathers to confer
With his fellow-braves in council, dare not leave a place for her
Where, at war with Life and Conscience, he uplifts his erring hands
To some God of abstract justice - which no woman understands.
And Man knows it! Knows, moreover, that the Woman that God gave him
Must command but may not govern; shall enthrall but not enslave him.
And She knows, because She warns him and Her instincts never fail,
That the female of Her species is more deadly than the male!
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez on Sunday accused the United States of using the earthquake in Haiti as a pretext to occupy the devastated Caribbean country and offered to send fuel from his OPEC nation.
