Two too dumb to be criminals
Sometimes one may feel sorry for criminals. And in this case I do. Not because of their upbringing. Or any of the normal reasons one might feel sorry for a kid gone bad. I feel sorry for them because they are obviously too stupid to even be good petty criminals. I know, harsh words. Too bad. Several years ago, I was on my way to lunch, an [...]
I set off some firestorms this week
Well, apparently I’ve set off a few firestorms this week with my comments about the death of Michael Jackson. On Facebook and Twitter, I have appeared to minimize his death, mainly in light of some other deaths that have occurred recently. Michael Jackson was an incredible performer. An artist in his particular field like no other. I migh [...]
I’m NO FAN of the ACLU… but…
There is some amount of satisfaction seeing this situation being litigated. The American Civil Liberties Union may have just earned itself a few more Republican admirers. Announcing a lawsuit against the Transportation Security Administration for the “illegal” detention of the Campaign for Liberty’s treasurer in April at a St. Louis airport, [...]
Wow! Pilotonline doing something right!
I don’t get a chance to pat Pilotonline on the back too often but every now and then they do something right. Recently, they added some enhancements to the user experience by fortifying the comments sections on various articles. PilotOnline.com and HamptonRoads.com readers have yet another way to control comments they see on stories: You can [...]
PETA? Are you guys on crack?
Maybe someone (Norfolk PD???) needs to initiate an investigation at PETA Headquarters in Norfolk, Va. Because it is clear to me, that short of some sort of mental disorder, these folks must be smoking crack. Two stories in two days in the PilotOnline: Story One: PETA wishes Obama hadn’t swatted that fly during interview Norfolk-based grou [...]
Insanity in Portland Maine
Apparently, a student in Portland, Maine’s Bonny Eagle High School blew a kiss to his mother and was denied his diploma. PORTLAND, Maine – A Maine high school senior says he was denied his diploma because he bowed during graduation and blew a kiss to his mother. -=SOURCE=- This is almost as bad as the Virginia Beach school who wouldn [...]
Benefit for wounded Chesapeake Police Officer
I would love to see the Iron Shields of Virginia, L.E.M.C., Blue Knights, Believers’ Bikers, Patriot Guard Riders and any other biker group who values the sacrifice made by this hero show up and break some bread and help someone. This officer, along with Deputy Lokie Flythe of the Portsmouth Sheriff’s Office jumped into a situatio [...]
United Socialist States of America – Fears realized
I can not be the only one who sees this. Is everyone else just sitting back and content to watch? Obama and his minions are trying to take the government and completely take over America. And it needs to stop. And no, I don’t feel like I’m exaggerating. When I was a kid, during the 60’s and early 70’s I had two recurring thoughts and [...]
Legislators want to control television now…
Ok. So that’s not really news. We’ve all heard about the “Fairness Doctrine”. But this is a little too much. New York State Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb, a Republican, is calling on the CEO of CBS to fire David Letterman for crude comments he made about Sarah Palin and her daughter. -=SOURCE=- While I think Lett [...]
Letterman and Imus
Ok. I don’t understand this at all. Imus gets fired for his comments about Rutgers University women being nappy headed hoes. Tacky yes. Letterman on the other hand makes jokes about the rape of a 14 year old girl in Yankee Stadium and he gets… A CONTRACT EXTENSION? Come on now. H/T: Bearing Drift [...]
