Hotair has this gem.
She will lie right to your face without batting an eye. Very impressive!
Does this shit come to any surprise to you?
Members of Occupy Boston — the social movement founded on demands for fiscal accountability — were divided yesterday on whether they should surrender any of their $60,000 in donations to cover the hefty costs of restoring the muddied Rose Kennedy Greenway where they built their tent city.
But they were united in saying there’s no way they’d contribute some of their tens of thousands of dollars in donated funds to defray police overtime costs.
Occupy Boston member Shane Aspinall, who is part of the group’s money-management team, said the group absolutely should pay to restore, to its pre-occupation grandeur, the Atlantic Avenue park where they squatted for months.
I’m not holding my breath that they WILL pay to clean up and repair damages…that being said this was an illegal occupation of public land. Now I don’t agree with the bullshit where one needs a permit to peacefully protest. (Not that this rabble is peaceful in any sense of the word) but squatting public land is an illegal act, and I have to agree with that. If we’re going to have public land (and in an urban environment that’s just a reality) then it simply can’t be squatted.
Of course the money they have in their accounts won’t pay for a tenth of the damage as well as the resources squandered. Bah!
North Korea warned South Korea on Sunday of “unexpected consequences” if Seoul displays Christmas lights near the tense border, and vowed to retaliate for what it called “psychological warfare.”…The two Koreas in 2004 reached a deal to halt official-level cross-border propaganda and the South stopped its annual Christmas illumination ceremony.
But Seoul resumed the ceremony last December amid high military tensions with Pyongyang.
Cross-border ties have been icy since the South accused the North of torpedoing its warship with the loss of 46 lives in March 2010.
Things are getting hot over there…kinda trivializes this:
This story brought to you by BLNN, the Bubblehead Les News Network.
So here’s a story of a nut going on a random shooting spree that appears to be a “Suicide by Cop”
A gunman who fired at cars and shouted “kill me” and “I’m gonna die!” was shot to death Friday by police after wounding a driver in the heart of Hollywood, authorities and a witness reported.
Well he got his wish. Odd that such a crime happened in Brady #1 ranked California. I thought that #1 ranking meant such things like this weren’t going to happen.
Dave Pepper told KCAL-TV that he was in his car when the gunman attacked him.
“This guy came running across the street and he put the gun right up to this window,” Pepper said as he sat in the car. “Why he didn’t pull the trigger I don’t know … I thought maybe he was out of bullets.”
People ask “Why do you carry a gun?” Because when the psycho with a gun is bearing down on me, I’ll have something more entertaining and productive to do than kissing my ass goodby.
BTW out of bullets or not, the guy also had a knife and click here if you want to see how badly THAT can go down
. The victim in this story are the disarmed Californians. By the way by “Disarmed” I don’t just mean by the fact that Los Angeles County is essentially “No issue” when it comes to carry permits, but that I doubt many of the people threatened or harmed in this story will even THINK that maybe having their own gun would be better than waiting for the police to shoot the bastard.
Carry your damn guns.

I had this gag rolling around in my head for a little while. But I really didn’t want to attempt it as image editing isn’t my forte, even something so simple.
So buddy Sci-Fi who was still taking his victory lap for this level of genius (Go here if you don’t get it)
He created my idea in full glory.
Ya get it? I LOL’d! Thanks Sci-fi
Wow, I read this headline and was surprised when reading the story.
Man Arrested For Allegedly Killing Grandmother With Broom Handle…KTLA reported that the woman was killed with a broken broom handle. It said the suspect was aged 42.
Naturally when I think of a broom handle, there are a multitude of uses for it, I’ve actually got several handles without brooms to be attached to other tools, or simply to use as a pry bar or as a mixing bar. If I was to think of it as a weapon I would think of a bludgeoning instrument. Instead he broke it and used it as a stabbing implement.
At least he didn’t use a gun, right?

I gotta say, this story sounds like a well executed strategy.
If you remember my last post on Occupy Boston the Mayor gave a Midnight Deadline for clearing Dewy Square. The hippies who didn’t want to get arrested rolled out, and they were replaced en-mass with protesters from out of state who were more than willing to spend a night in jail (or worse). So when the cops showed up they were right ready to scrap it out.
The cops backed down. I assumed, with good reason, that it was a combination of bleeding-heart liberalism, and political favoritism. Still seeing this story, I suspect I was wrong. It appears the saber rattling shook the tree and cleared out many of the fair-weather protesters who didn’t want a hickory-shampoo and a side of pepper-spray, and while the group called on re-enforcements to make a proper bloody riot of the event, they declared victory too soon.
Looks like the clearing went off without injury or any major disturbances.
Looks like they did well, and the trespassers are now attempting to regroup. This will all be for nothing if we let them re-settle.
Time will tell.
So first up, The wine I had with the last Vicious Circle went down surprisingly smooth, all things considered. Still the drunk it supplied me was very creepy. Giddy feelings of drunkenness punctuated with feelings of dread that the horrible shit was getting closer to my brain.
There indeed was a hangover, but nothing terrible, and I suspect the majority of the poor feelings was going to bed at 1am with a belly-full of hobo-wine, and not the effects of the wine itself…still I must say I have no cravings to to saddle up for a midnight ride on the Night Train. I’ll stick with 40s when I feel the need for abject scumbaggery.
The new computer is FINALLY running. I had some freaky Malware sneak onto the system within seconds of getting the system running that crippled it near 100%…nuke pave, and let’s try that again. Now it’s working fine. Also I stuffed the auxiliary hard drive with all the goodness from my last box, and its currently hooked up to a USB adapter and sitting on my desk transferring my old files. We’ll be about 90% functionality soon…and then we’ll SLOOOOOWLY get our way up to 100%
Until then I’ll be kinda distracted. TTYL!
The “Gun Death?” Files are here to both show how invalid the metric of “Gun Death” is because of the multitude of murder weapons available to people even if guns never existed, but also to show what happens when good guns don’t exist. This story shows both.
ATLANTA – Police officers shot and killed a woman in an Atlanta home when she didn’t comply with orders to stop stabbing her young daughter, who also died, authorities said Monday.
A simple story, a woman with a knife kills her daughter, and does not comply even when confronted by armed police.
The unarmed daughter was unable to stop her…the armed police were.
Guns are very useful tools, and they might save your life, or the lives of others.

You might have guessed from this last post we have a new ration of computers in the Weer’d household.
Getting this box squared away to start a new life as a TV streamer, and get the new system up and running.
BTW I like getting a new computer because they run better…but I feel like I’m using a strange computer for about a month.
See you all in a bit on the flip-side!
