Strange – “Hello kitty” punishes the Police

Now this is just too funny.

Hello Kitty is kinda cheesy and embarrassing anyways, so imagine if you were this big tough riot cop trying to “keep the peace” and the only thing you can hear is people heckling you about your pink kitty band.

The disturbance you’ll have to worry about is a laugh riot. Har Har Har…..

Ahem…

“Guilty officers will be made to wear the armbands in the office for a few days with instructions not to disclose their offences. Let people guess what they have done,” he told Reuters.

Truly, Hello Kitty is lowering the hammer on sloppy cops.

Eww – This just isn’t right

I won’t even justify that with a paragraph. It’s just plain wrong and gross. Whole lot of “EWW” wrapped up in a simple little news article.

I just can’t accept the notion that people are going around practicing Nudism within a Christian church. That just not an appropriate thing to do, and I’m fairly certain that actual churches frown upon such lifestyles. Of course it doesnt surprise me that the MSM would post something as degrading as this in an attempt to paint the Christian church as a bunch of weirdos.

Stuff like this just makes me shake my head in sadness.

Intermission – Buckethead for Lunch

It’s lunch time. How about some nice chewing music to go with that delicious burger?

Science – Levitation unlocked.

Ohmagawd, ohmagawd, ohmagawd

Scientists say they have now unlocked the mystery to Levitation by reversing an effect on nature that causes Atoms to “stick together”. They came across this finding while trying to figure out a way to keep micro and nano-type creations from trying to stick together due to this natural force.

This is what scientists came up with:

Their discovery could ultimately lead to frictionless micro-machines with moving parts that levitate But they say that, in principle at least, the same effect could be used to levitate bigger objects too, even a person.

Even a person? That would be sweeeeet.

WTF – DUI during Driving Lesson?

And running over the instructor.

Leave it up to Fox for posting the funniest testimony from the husband of the drunk driving lady:

“It was totally an accident,” Victoria Hosner’s husband, David Hosner, told the Naples Daily News.

Clearly.

I’m just curious how the whole thing got up to that point. The report says that her alcohol level was .146 and the legal limit was .08. This chick wasn’t just drunk she was sloppy hammered, so I’m trying to figure out why they even let her get in the car in the first place.

Hosner faces charges of driving under the influence, three counts of driving under the influence with damage to property or person of another and driving without a license.

I love how they get her with the “Driving without a License” charge.

Breaking! – Utah Mine Collapse, Traps Six

This is just awful.

A coal mine in Utah called the “Genwal Mine” has collapsed and trapped miners inside. The collapse was caused by a 4.0 magnitude earthquake and it shook the whole mine in to collapse. Please keep these guys in your prayers and lets hope that they get out in time.

Mary Wilson, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Land Management, told the Salt Lake Tribune that authorities are unsure whether the earthquake caused the collapse or the other way around. Mine collapses, she said, sometimes cause earthquakes.

If the authorities are having trouble determining if a Mine collapsed because of an Earthquake OR if the Earthquake was caused by the mine collapse….well….it must have been a pretty big mine. If that’s the case then lets hope those trapped miners can be rescued in time.

Ouch! – Reporter owned

Cop Checks Reporter Into Wall

Holy Crap.

Break and WordPress aren’t really getting along right now, so you’ll have to click the above link to watch it. A reporter tries to outrun a security officer to an area that is supposed to be closed off from the public. As the two try to run in between two large containers the officer cuts the reporter off and body checks her in to the wall.

Uncalled for? Maybe, but watching an annoying media person getting schooled every now and then is great.

World News – Kids forced to write “Allah is God”

Click here for the story.

Well, not forced physically but basically told they would fail the assignment unless they did write it.

Helen Green is said to have picked the Muslim call to prayer as HAND-WRITING practice.

It includes the lines “Allah is the greatest” and “I bear witness that there is no God but Allah”.

That is what we call forced indoctrination.

Politics – Pelosi funds Bioweapons project?

Click here for the full story.

Wow, I just post a thread about how Pelosi was taxing Oil Companies out the ying yang for the sake of the future, and then I browse around and find out she has some pretty big earmarks of her own that need addressing. Namely the one company that stands to develop a:

Some companies stand to gain from Pelosi’s earmarks. The California Democrat has won funding for six companies in a 2008 defense funding measure. One is a $4 million request to develop a “novel viral biowarfare agent” for Prosetta Corp., based in her San Francisco district. Tom Higgins, the company’s chief executive officer, says he talked to the Speaker’s staff directly rather than hiring a lobbyist and hasn’t given money to her campaign. “We’re just a little company,” he says.

What the? A Biowarfare agent? When I first read the article I first thought that this was somehow going to turn out to be a Botox joke, but upon re-reading the sentence I found that I was not hallucinating when I saw the term “warfare” in that paragraph.

This is just a small portion of the list of companies that will benefit from Pelosi’s earmark spending that she has managed to secure for herself. I’m not sure that the anti-war crowd will like the news that a supposed anti-war sentor is somehow funding research for developing bioweapons. Then again…they may not care, but I find it awfully strange that a woman who is so outspoken against any type of violence and war would allow her earmark spending to be used for such things. I thought that when the democrats took over they were going to have the most pure and ethical congress ever.

Riiight. Many other pet spending projects get millions of tax payers money, but the bioweapons deal was just the icing on the cake.

Cramer has always been eccentric but this is the loudest and worst that I have seen him. I admire his devotion to the job and to watching the market, but the man needs a break.

Politics – Oil Companies get hit hard

Click for an article

Thanks go to Neal Boortz for the Link.

Well, The Enviromentalist/Communist crowd will be happy to know that the House just passed a bill imposing 16 billion dollars in tax hikes upon the Oil Companies while giving numerous tax breaks to conservation and alternative fuel sources. So, basically the government just told the Oil Companies that they know a better use for their money than the Oil companies do.

Riiiiight.

Crazy Granny Pelosi tried to defend the measure by claiming that it was all for the greater good and for the future:

“It’s about our children, about our future, the world in which they live,” Pelosi said.

Ah yes. The “chilren” as a former Surgeon General once used to say. This is a big card that the Democrats like to throw out there to make people uncomfortable about talking against a certain subject. It’s a bait card used to draw people in to a firing range of criticism. If you speak out against something that is “for the children” then, to the democrats, you hate children. The crap just kept on getting deeper when Tom Udall opened his mouth:

“This will save consumers money,” said Rep. Tom Udall, D-N.M., the provision’s co-sponsor, maintaining utilities will have to use less high-priced natural gas. He noted that nearly half the states already have a renewable energy mandate for utilities, and if utilities can’t find enough renewable they can meet part of the requirement through power conservation measures.

The bill also calls for more stringent energy efficiency standards for appliances and lighting and incentives for building more energy-efficient “green” buildings. It would authorize special bonds for cities and counties to reduce energy demand.

Siiiiiiiiigh. No, it won’t save the consumers money. if your raising the taxes on the Oil companies who, oh I dont know, supply our gasoline and diesel fuels then wouldn’t that mean that over time as supply or production hits snags that they would have to drastically raise the price of fuels more than they would if they didn’t have the tax increase? Ohhh, wait….you mean it would save those people who use alternate fuels more money. Well, I heat by natural gas and power my car on gasoline. I guess I can expect my bills to start going up real soon.

I really wish that some of these politicians would quit trying to economists and scientists. Global Warming, the great fake science, has completely ruined our political progress in terms of spending and using resources. It’s like “The Silent Spring” all over again with all of the enviro-nuts screaming about how capitalist organizations and economies are “raping the planet” and are ruining the life of everyone, everywhere. I guess this is what we get for electing ignorant people to represent our country, and i’m not talking about President Bush.

08 Election – The Debate Aftermath

Click the link if you missed the debate.

It wasn’t spectacular by any means and i’ll try to paraphrase it all up for you, but it basically just became a “I’m not stupid YOUR stupid” contest between the candidates. I welcome a few arguments here and there, but these guys don’t even sound logical anymore. Especially Ron “Crazyface” Paul and his conspirator constituents constantly blaming the Federal Reserve and the Bush Administration for darn near everything.

Regarding Iraq, Rep. Ron Paul of Texas stood out as the maverick of the group, repeating his call for an immediate exit. “We went in illegally and we ought to just come home!” he said to applause.

It’s not really what he is saying that makes him crazy at times (although that is a large part of it) it’s mostly the desperate way he exclaims it.

McCain hasn’t figured out yet that he isn’t going to be getting the nomination. After his Immigration debacle trying to get Amnesty passed on through the American people just don’t support him like they did back during the 2000 elections. The old man’s lost his luster and he just doesn’t realize it yet. However, he did try to pull out his “Absolute Moral Authority” credentials in regarding the war.

“I am fully prepared — fully prepared, more than anyone else running on either side — to fight the transcendent challenge of this nation, which will be for all of the 21st century. And that is the struggle against radical Islamic extremism,” said McCain, citing his military background.

I believe that McCain is dedicated to the War in Iraq and that he truly believes he knows whats best when it comes to fighting the War on Terrorism. However, in most of the peoples eyes he contradicts himself in regards to security and preventing another attack. He tied to keep the Borders open and grant millions of illegals a quick path to Amnesty without offering any federal funding to build the border fence or beef up security upon the Canadian and Mexican borders. It’s almost like playing the fence and the American people get tired of politicians who play to both sides.

Tancredo is still reeling from the backlash of his “Bomb Mecca & Medina” comment the other day. I know what he was trying to say when he said it, but that little brain fart of a slip up is going to hurt him with a lot of people.

Brownback is ok, but he doesn’t have the charisma of many of the other candidates. Hearts in the right place, but I just don’t think he appeals to that many people.

Mitt Romney had to explain his current position on Abortion. He has been getting flak from the Left and the Right in regards to this topic. Many liberals call him a hypocrite saying that he supported Abortion, but now he doesn’t, and the Right is leery of trusting him because they wonder if the Left is correct on this one. I, personally, like Romney and if he got the nomination I’d vote for him. He seems to portray a genuine attitude and he seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Besides…..his public speaking record is pretty good and it would be hard to say that Romney isn’t a good public speaker. They guy’s got some charisma and in the long run that does count.

Giuliani did alright, but I just get the sense that he is slipping away here. He has been the front runner for so long in this race that the only place he can really go is down. He was called to defend his stance on Abortion and, regardless if I support Abortion or not, he did make a good point.

“I believe the best way we can have common ground in this debate that you’re hearing is if we put our emphasis on reducing abortions and increasing the number of adoptions, which is something that I did as mayor of New York City,” he said. “But I think ultimately that decision that has to be made is one that government shouldn’t make.

I agree. The Government shouldn’t make that decision for people.

Well, at the end they were all pretty much together on putting Obama to task about his naive and uneducated responses last week regarding what his foreign policy would be. That was kinda fun to watch. Romney’s retort was the best though:

“I think Barack Obama is confused as to who are our friends and who are our enemies,” he said.

Oh snapz. Anyways, if you missed the debate you didn’t really miss much, but it wasn’t so bad that I could say it wasn’t entertaining. You got to hear some candidates explain themselves better, but it really was just more of the same stuff you hear on talk radio or from the news networks every day. Still, I kinda hope that Fred Thompson will jump in the race so that we can finally hear his views in the debating ring.

Can’t wait to see if he actually does jump in on Sept.5

08 Election – Fred sets a date?

Click for more info.

We were all teased with info stating that he was going to officially announce his candidacy back in July, but that was just rumors and speculation. Then we were told it might be August and that proved to be false too. Now, it seems that Fred may announce in September…..more specifically September 5th which would coincide with the Republican debate that is happening on the same night.

Here’s from an MSNBC Article:

Why? They say they do not see any benefit in getting in right away, and cite how well Thompson is doing in polling and undisclosed fundraising. “There’s no great benefit to getting in immediately. He’s made his intentions pretty clear,” one says, adding, “Fred Thompson doesn’t do anything until he, when he does something, he does it right. We’d rather wait and be up to his standards and do it right then sort of rush things along.”

 Well, I can say that announcing in September wouldn’t be rushing things. In fact, it might be considered a “do it now or never” move from his campaign. Repbulcains are reay to back him and send him up there to face-ff against the Democrats, but people are getting anxious and if Anxiety festers for too long….well….people start to lose hope and begin questioning the candidate.

I do hope he announces though. That would be awesome.

Tim Russert thinks that September 5th is the magic day too and said so on Meet the Press  this evening. I’m hoping he’s right.
