The Washington Examiner has a series called "stupid crimes", it's a fun read usually.

Recall that I'm on record saying that I would be in favor of the gov't providing free facial tattoos, think of it as branding morons so they'll be instantly recognizable.

In today's first example, we have "Crazy Cracker". And no, that's not what Obama's friends call him, that's what he calls himself
Quote
It wasn't difficult for the victims of a Tampa, Fla., home invasion to identify the burglar. He was the only suspect with the state of Florida tattooed on his face. That and the words "Crazy Cracker" written on his head.

He has the state of Florida tattooed on his face with the words Crazy Cracker and he didn't cover it while committing a crime.
I'm not sure if that can be made funnier. Well, maybe he could have an arrow pointing to where he lives in Florida, but that's just quibbling.

Next up, another facial tattoo guy in Utah of all places
Police said Reyes was recognized because of his many facial tattoos, including a spiderweb on his forehead.

There's a very strong case that facial tattoos are a societal good and I wouldn't be all that upset if the gov't paid for them. I would suggest it falls under "Promoting the common good".

In case you somehow missed it, Amazon screwed the pooch by deleting copies of 1984 (oh the yummy irony) off people's Kindles when it was discovered that those copies were illegal. Apparently, someone was selling unlicensed versions.  Amazon took it on the chin for just yoinking the copies. I'm actually a bit more sympathetic to Amazon and not just because you'll pry my Kindle out of my cold, dead hands. There's no question the copies were illegal. It's a bit of an open question as to what liability Amazon faced if it didn't attempt to stop the transmission of those works.  Don't get me wrong, what Amazon did was stupid.  I'm just not ready to jump on the OMG BIG BROTHER bandwagon.  It was still wicked stupid though.

Guess what? Jeff Bezos issued an apology today.  It's an actual apology too.

"Torn genitals".

The owner, 28-year-old Olga, agreed to hand over the takings but as she was giving him the money, used her karate skills to knock him to the ground and tie him up with a hairdryer cord.

She then locked him in the storeroom and told colleagues she'd call the police.

However, she instead stripped him and cuffed him to a heater with a pair of fluffy pink handcuffs.

She then fed him Viagra and raped him several times over the next four days.

When finally released, Viktor went first to hospital for treatment for his torn frenulum, and then reported Olga to the police. When she was arrested, Olga reported him for robbery.

"What a b......," she complained.

"Yes, we had sex a couple of times. But I've bought him new jeans, gave him food and even gave him 1000 roubles when he left."

Forty years ago today, America put a man on the moon.

Six years, 313 days ago today, Buzz Aldrin showed how full of awesome he is.

Holy fucking shit I love these.  Seriously.  I would sell several of y'all's organs for those. 

Also I now have a strange urge to watch Resident Evil 2 now.  Funny that.

Since reality continues to make me want to go on a spree, I give you car hotassery in lieu of content.



Go Speed Racer! Go Speed Racer! Go Speed Racer go! (actually it's a Rizk Auto RA but that's beside the point)

Tru Fax: My first memory is of watching Speed Racer. No lie.

Obama wanted Obamacare to be done by August.  He's since moved the goal back to the end of the year.  Which means we can stop it, assuming we haven't stopped it already.  All we've got to do is keep them from ramming some crap bill through, and bog things down by ripping apart the bill and the whole concept of socialist health care apart, relentlessly.  The Dems will get shaky, because they know if they don't have wide support for it, it ain't gonna happen, and they'd be betting everything on it, socialist medicine is high stakes for them, politically speaking. 

Support for socialist medicine is already dropping, and I'll bet we can make it drop further.  We may already have stopped it.  If Obama was going to pass socialist medicine, he'd have done it already and pushed a bill through with his high approval ratings.  His numbers are dropping steadily, and I bet they'll get worse as people get over their Hopenchange unicorn hangover.

An Ode To Billy Mays.

I actually do miss him.  There was an Oxyclean commercial on the other day and I'll admit it, I sniffled.
