Flags

“We were not going to start a fight. We wanted to show our pride,” Dariano said. “In light of all of this, there are people with painted flags in red, green and white and yet the boys can’t wear the American flag”

So the rules are for the majority? Or only for those who have pride in another flag…..WTF? Seems that there was at least two standards at the school that day….

Methinks the principal needs an education….one applied to the tune of a hickory stick.


Would it be that the parents got together and expressed their displeasure in a most physical way to the school administration. 


But then again, I am accused often of flying off the handle and using violence where finesse is needed. 


Read the whole thing.

Cop or no cop

 Just in case you haven’t heard about this:

NOTE: the link (and I haven’t embedded it on purpose) is graphic and disturbing. 

If you kicked my door down in the middle of the night and shot my dog(s) the issues would be major. (although I might not react as passively as this so I might not be able to do any post-raid revenge….) :

There would likely be no place you or your Komrads could hide.

My “sister” would just whisper in your ear one day as you left the house or work. While you may be an officer of the law, that is no protection from someone like me. (and yes, I mean that, and it ain’t bragging if you can do it)

Notice the overuse of the SWAT team, for a minor search warrant? Notice the lovely Gestapo style helmets and the truly jackbooted tactics? The lack of leadership and of post raid organization?

Having seen other SWAT teams in action I can tell you that this is NOT unusual, or out of character. There may be good teams out there, and I just haven’t seen them. But I can say, that in my limited (4 times I have seen SWAT “professionals” in action), this is typical.

And why do they need a SWAT team for a minor search warrant? Just to keep them active and current? Or for the overtime? Or just to justify having a SWAT team?

Seems that they charged the guy with “reckless endangerment” for a small amount of pot and a pipe. 

But discharging firearms and scaring a child isn’t, apparently, as the cops weren’t charged.

Yer gonna get an ass whoopin’

Betcha that the Russkies show the rest of the world how to deal with pirates!

My bet is that the sharks in the area immediately surrounding the tanker will be well fed within 12 hours of the Russian ship arriving on site.

None of the pirates will complain about bad treatment or civil rights violations.

Any takers?

Was it bureaucratic ineptitude?

Or was it something more sinister?

Seems the Times Square (almost) bomber, Faisal Shahzad nearly got beyond the borders of the US. DESPITE BEING ON THE NO FLY LIST. No second look by the TSA, despite the fact that he was paying cash for a last minute ticket with no luggage. This sort of behavior would get me “special attention”, and no doubt my tonsils massaged from the wrong end by an unsmiling man with a long rubber glove, if you know what I mean.

So were the TSA folks inept? Or were they supposed to let him pass? Perhaps the FBI and the rest of the alphabet folks were just good enough to catch him, despite the fact that the way was cleared for him….

And one wonders, how could the authorities have dropped the ball regarding this guy? He was a whole bunch or red flags, yet no one bothered to look. I thought the reorganization post 9-11 was supposed to be taking care of this…

I mean, as so many others have pointed out, the fact is that this was a childlike method of making a bomb. Fer chrissake, had most any kid from the midwest decided to make a device such as this, the damned thing would probably have worked, and there would be dead or injured being tended to right now, either in funeral homes or hospitals.

One might wonder if this was a false flag operation designed to create a stir without actually hurting anyone. To perhaps take the focus off the AZ Immigration debacle? To hide something else? It has taken up several days of news cycle already, to the exclusion of nearly all other topics.

If yer tinfoil hat is tight enough, you can begin to wonder…

Or then again; perhaps we should remember this quote, with “incompetence” substituted for “stupidity”:

“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”

I finally figured out

Why soccer moms have SUVs

It helps having 4WD and all that ground clearance when they run off the road because they are distracted by their cell phone while driving.

I saw an example of this today. Stupid bint. The road was straight, and not much wind (except that which was coming out of her pie-hole). You’d think that even while yapping to whomever was on the other end of the cell phone she could keep the damned thing inside a 10 foot lane on a straight road.

But the 4WD came in handy when she stuck the thing into a 3 ft deep ditch.

I thought women were supposed to be better at multitasking?
