"The accused got to his feet and was standing over the police officer exposing his penis and thrusting it in her face, forcing her to take evasive action to avoid getting struck."

6 Seems a little rough on the guy. He gets plowed in the privacy of his
own home, the police show up, and it's his fault that he tries to defend himself with whatever he has at hand?
As it were.

Cops were called to his flat because... he was drunk? Is it now a crime to be drunk in your own house now?

This one and the previous Deification of Obama both illustrate how some people live in their own fantasy world and look a bit strange to those of us stuck in Reality(tm).

Back in the days of muds, this was a common gimmick for humor.
On another note, I think the reason Alex likes boots with ridiculous risers, is so that she can use this as her concealed carry. Or maybe just to accessorize.

Hi! I like your srticle and I would like very much to read some more information on this issue. Will you post some more? As we know , we can find lots of fans ,lots of store have been open worldwide.
Tea baggers are everywhere!
I look forward to the in depth, 12 page article on how this candidate in Texas is a tea partier. Quote Kesha Rogers called for the impeachment of President Barack Obama as
the centerpiece of her campaign for Congress, and on Tuesday she won
the nomination of her party. ... It was no stealth campaign. Rogers shouted it from a sound truck that
cruised the four-county 22nd Congressional District. She posted an
18-foot banner emblazoned with the message “Save NASA. Impeach Obama”
on street corners. Her Web site is filled with videos and periodic policy statements documenting her stand.
She's probably one of them evil tea parti... Oh, she's a Democrat? And a former LaRouchie? Obviously a tea partier. Probably an organizer.
Veeshir prediction: either this will not be "news", or the (D) and LaRouche will somehow not make it into any of the stories.
'I've Got to Come Up with Better Material, I'm Afraid'Romney, after someone in the press asked him about Palin beating him in late night ratings. Heh.
I like Romney, don't get me wrong, I don't want him to be president (though I'd have taken him over McCain in the late 2008 primaries), but I think there's a role for him in the GOP. I still think he'd be an awesome choice for RNC chair, if he didn't pull a Steele and try and get too active in policy. Romney is an excellent organizer and fundraiser, always has been, always will be, and I don't think he'd say dumb, crazy shit like Steele does. Besides, he's not going to escape the Romneycare legacy, not with the Obamacare fiasco, no matter what happens with it. It might have been necessary politics in the Soviet of Massachusetts, but it ain't gonna fly in the flyover country and the bitter, clingy parts of the US.
He also clarified his statement regarding populism, he meant it as a warning against mindless populist demagoguery, which is absolutely a valid concern.
Responding to recent public outcries over its handling of private data, search giant Google offered a wide-ranging and eerily well-informed apology to its millions of users Monday.
"We would like to extend our deepest apologies to each and every one of you," announced CEO Eric Schmidt, speaking from the company's Googleplex headquarters. "Clearly there have been some privacy concerns as of late, and judging by some of the search terms we've seen, along with the tens of thousands of personal e-mail exchanges and Google Chat conversations we've carefully examined, it looks as though it might be a while before we regain your trust."
Added Schmidt, "Whether you're Michael Paulson who lives at 3425 Longview Terrace and makes $86,400 a year, or Jessica Goldblatt from Lynnwood, WA, who already has well-established trust issues, we at Google would just like to say how very, truly sorry we are."
Heh.
In an effort to make up for years of alarmingly invasive service, Google will
automatically add $50 to all American bank accounts as a gesture of goodwill.
The company has also encouraged feedback, explaining that users can type any
concerns they may still have into any open browser window or, if they are
members of Google Voice, "simply speak directly into [their] phones right now."
Jimmy Carter: "Stop comparing my foreign policy to Obama's weak shit"
Just how bad does your foreign policy have to be when Jimmy Carter thinks it's weak? (warning HuffPo link).
The thesis was beyond speculative. Even by Mead's own admission, Obama's foreign policy is in its nascent stages. Right now, he writes, it "looks a little bit like that of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger." Mead even suggests that the president is trying to pursue a "Jeffersonian" worldview -- in which the U.S. is militarily formidable but unexposed to regional crises. Either way, the Carter comparison was clearly meant as an insult. After all, the piece was titled "The Carter Syndrome."
It would seem natural for Obama and his allies to find the piece somewhat insulting -- but the one raising the most stink so far is Carter himself.

I dunno if Carter's objection was based on being offended that Obama's an awful of a leader as Carter was, I think Carter still doesn't recognize how truly horrible a leader he himself was.
So just in case Jimmah drops by and reads this blog: we couldn't have had Reagan as president without you. And that may be the only good thing you ever did for this country. Well, that and giving us all something to laugh about thanks to your leporiphobia. So this is for you, Jimmah:

I am sick and tired of the rather spurious argument that libraries and fire departments are the same thing as a public health care option. It seems to be the resounding call - if you dare to say, I don't think the government should be in charge of health care, it's almost automatic. Then you don't need public highways! Then you don't need libraries! Then you don't need a fire department! Then you don't need police!
The fallacy in that argument, of course, is that we don't all need the same health care; every individual person has different health requirements and needs. However, we all need the same roads - even roads in places we don't live, because, let's face it, organic foods don't magically appear in Massachusets, they have to be driven there on roads. We all need fire departments, because if my house burns down, it threatens everyone else's house. We all need police, because if there's a mass murderer on the loose, everyone needs to be protected. And, with the state of public education, while we don't all use them, we all probably need a damn library to continue to generate the best, the brightest, and the most innovative.
But, when it comes to health care, welfare, social security, and other bullshit entitlements, I don't need what you need. And I should be able to make the right choice for me and my family based on our needs without the government's involvement.

I understand your point ember, but when like Glenn Beck you rail against governement involvement in everything and brag about availaing yourself of those services you are open for a little ridicule.
Plus Gun-tal floss is just funny, and he got in a good dig at the fiat money types.

The police department, fire department, libraries, schools, etc also have to have their budgets approved by the taxpayers every year... at least in NY where I am all the local stuff is voted on (town and county police) and larger police departments are part of their budgets (NYC, NYS, MTA, etc). The fire departments where I live (in Long island) are also all volunteers with the equipment up keeps and some pensions for elected Fire Dept positions (chief, etc) part of the budgets that we vote on every year.
The progressive entitlements that Stewart skirted - SS, welfare, medicare, etc are left to teh "experts" in DC to handle (or mishandle) with only congress voting on how to fund them.
Funny how that all works...

I'm not sure that you can look at the cases of places like Washington state or California and make the case that direct democracy is any better as far as fiscal responsibility goes. The experience here is voters approving expensive mandates then turning around and disapproving funds to pay for them. When cuts are enacted they then turn around and mandate the cuts be repealed via iniative and then when taxes are raised they pass an initative to lower them. Watching yet another variation of that play out now.

When my friend went to OU in probably 86 or so, he told me that OK voters approved a new police station and voted down money to pay for running it. I have no idea how they resovled it. Direct democracy doesn't work, as they say, it's 2 wolves and sheep voting on what's for dinner.
The Constitution was a great idea but like everything else, people screw it up.

This Ain't Hell featured in The Army Times
For their efforts in publicizing General Ballduster McSoulpatch's stealing of valor and finding his identity. Quite possibly the best part? The Army Times mentions General Ballduster McSoulpatch in their article.

Well we know Biden is Pinky, I don't think anyone's the Brain.
The best Pinky and the Brain was when they were in the Hundred Acre Wood, it was in the 90s. I forget the plan, but I remember the donkey, Algore. All he did was drone on and on. He spoke the whole time, just a monotone drone in the background that tuned in and out. Something about environmentalism stuff. They used the hot air coming out of him to float over something.
That one was better than Bubba Bo Bob Brain.

Iowa Rep. Steve King wastes raccoon with a Desert Eagle, PETA throws a tantrum
The raccoon was trying to claw it's way into the house, King said he thought it might have been rabid. He declared on Twitter, Desert Eagle 1, Crazy Raccoon 0. PETA is of course weeping bitterly. Said King, in response to PETA,
King told Fox News on Tuesday that he'd offer PETA more hospitality than the animal.
"That crazy coon ran up against 'a man's home is his castle' and
this man's castle won. But if it had been PETA volunteers outside in
the middle of a blizzard, I'd like to think they would have rang the
doorbell, instead of trying to claw into the house. And I would have
given them shelter for the night and served them bacon and eggs the
next morning," he said in a statement.
Awesome. The only question I have is, was this the full Desert Eagle, or the "Baby" Eagle? Because I have to imagine a full Desert Eagle would leave a hell of a mess, even if you had the .357 barrel set in, I can't imagine the mess a .50 AE would make...I'm guessing a fine red mist and fur everywhere.

I hate Desert Eagles in movies. That's a good clip but about as realistic as an Armageddon clip or any Errol Flynn movie. Desert Eagles go "BOOOOOOM!" they don't sound like some 9mm with no recoil. And you don't fire one one-handed unless your second shot is supposed to go straight up or you want to hit yourself in the nose with the barrel.
I'd love to see someone practicing double-taps with a .50AE. The slide on the freaking thing weighs as much as a 1911. Uma Thurman would lose her skinny, little arm if she ever fired one. /whine
Now, if you want an accurate clip on a hand-cannon, you need to go Chuck.

Yeah, the baby can also come with interchangeable barrels for 9mm Para, 40 S&W and .45 ACP. I understand that there is also a Micro chambered in .380 although it apparently looks entirely different.
Years ago my father made the mistake of putting a .22 LR hole in his house shooting at an opossum, and that's about the wimpiest round you can get without going to an air rifle. Not even a studs gonna stop a .357, .44 mag or 50AE.

Priceless Quote of the Day
In October 2007, after invoking Martin Luther King Jr. in a campaign speech, Mr. [John] Edwards said: "There are much more important things in life than winning elections at the cost of selling your soul. Especially right now, when our country . . . needs to hear the truth from its leaders."
