Win World of Warcraft Tournament Splurge on Hookers & Fritos

Dude?  Dude!

A 13 year old from Texas who stole his Dad's credit card and ordered two hookers from an escort agency, has today been convicted of fraud and given a three year community order.

Ralph Hardy, a 13 year old from Newark, Texas confessed to ordering an extra credit card from his father's existing credit card company, and took his friends on a $30,000 spending spree, culminating in playing "Halo" on an Xbox with a couple of hookers in a Texas motel.

The credit card company involved said it was regular practice to send extra credit cards out as long as all security questions are answered.

The escort girls who were released without charge, told the arresting officers something was up when the kids said they would rather play Xbox than get down to business.

As if that isn't good enough, "They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them."

Dialing for Obama in Gaza

Palestinians in Gaza phonebanking for Obama

Also, here is one of the best descriptions of Obama I have have read to date.

Yes, he’s an arrogant, cocksure, elitist, affirmative-action baby, the product of a lifetime of leftist indoctrination, seething with resentment at a racially segregated society he’s only ever heard about in the one or two times in 20 years he actually attended Rev. Wright’s church. He’s Gramsci’s long march through the institutions come to life: the new Soviet Man, American-style: the change we have been waiting for.

Service Dog Threatened by Muslim Student

This story via Hot Air:

A St. Cloud State University student teacher decided to leave school because a Muslim student threatened to kill his service dog because he considers it unclean.  What side does the school defend?  Ed Morrissey sums it up:

That’s easy. They upheld the rights of the side that threatened capitulation or violence. Instead of expelling the student for his threat and making an example of him, they chose to coddle the student and chase the teacher out of his job. Afterwards, they issued the normal multi-culti mewlings of “misunderstanding”, “growth process”, and emphasizing respect for different cultures.

And there you have the formula folks.  Placate the ones who threaten with violence and sacrifice the innocent at the altar of misunderstanding.

Freed from Gitmo, Man Promptly Blows Self Up

Via Jihad Watch

A Kuwaiti man released from the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay in 2005 has carried out a suicide bombing in Iraq, his cousin told Al Arabiya television on Thursday.

You have to wonder if this man was one of the "innocents" who've been held unjustly at Gitmo.  When you hear/ read MSM stories about the poor souls locked away for no reason, think of this guy who couldn't wait to blow people up.

In his intro to the story Robert Spencer mentions that American soldiers use gloves to handle the Koran, and that  may just confirms that the prisoners are the ones in charge.  Commenter Mentat provided the language in the DOD memorandum on the handling of the Koran:

4. Handling.

a. Clean gloves will be put on in full view of the detainees prior to handling.

b. Two hands will be used at all times when handling the Koran in manner signaling respect and reverence. Care should be used so that the right hand is the primary one used to manipulate any part of the Koran due to the cultural association with the left hand. Handle the Koran as if it were a fragile piece of delicate art.

I'd like to see the reaction if this kind of treatment was afforded to the Bible.

He's No Chuck Norris

My co-worker sent me this little story on Roger Clemens, it explains how he took advantage of the local Hard Rock while pitching for the Red Sox but what stood out for me was this:

“Whenever he came into the Hard Rock, they had to play ‘Rocket Man,’ ” recalled another ex-employee. “He really liked that.”

Oh man, what a dork.  So, my coworker and I have decided that Roger Clemens is the anti Chuck Norris.  And like good employees we immediately came up with our Roger Clemens list.  He are the fruits of that non-labor.

Roger Clemens hates kittens.

Roger Clemens doesn't wipe.

Roger Clemens chews with his mouth open.

Roger Clemens passes on the right.

Roger Clemens has complex chronic halitosis.

Roger Clemens uses the middle urinal.

After a workout Roger Clemens doesn't wipe down the equipment .

Roger Clemens doesn't flush.

Roger Clemens doesn't cover his mouth when he sneezes.

When Roger Clemens farts he blames the dog and if the dog isn't around he blames his wife.

Exiting a plane Roger Clemens doesn't say "buh bye" to the stewardess.

Roger Clemens leaves his seat back and tray down when landing.

When Roger Clemens is on fire he goes, jumps, and slides.

If there is a threat it is women and children last for Roger Clemens.

Roger Clemens wears white before Memorial Day.

Roger Clemens brushes back kids at Family Day softball game.

Roger Clemens signs autographs in invisible ink.

 

Please, feel free to add your own.

Say What?

PATH service between 33rd Street and the Journal Square and Hoboken stations will be suspended in both directions through this evening due to signal and power cable damage caused by a small manhole fire east of Christopher Street Station.

There's a joke in there somewhere...

It's Only Wafer Thin

While men and women are paying hundreds to thousands of dollars on weight loss programs and corrective surgeries, we have an inmate who filed a lawsuit because the prison he is in didn't  feed him well enough for him to maintain his 413 pound figure.

Broderick Lloyd Laswell says he isn't happy that he's down to 308 pounds after eight months in the Benton County jail. He has filed a federal lawsuit complaining the jail doesn't provide inmates with enough food.

According to the suit, Laswell weighed 413 pounds when he was jailed in September. Police say he and a co-defendant fatally beat and stabbed a man, then set his home on fire.

"On several occasions I have started to do some exercising and my vision went blurry and I felt like I was going to pass out," Laswell wrote in his complaint. "About an hour after each meal my stomach starts to hurt and growl. I feel hungry again."

We had better straighten this mess out pronto. 

And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin mint.

Food Rationing?

A frightening event is taking place, something I've never experienced in my life.  Food rationing.

Major retailers in New York, in areas of New England, and on the West Coast are limiting purchases of flour, rice, and cooking oil as demand outstrips supply. There are also anecdotal reports that some consumers are hoarding grain stocks.

In the New York Sun article, some are speculating that businesses are flocking to retail stores since commercial prices have doubled.

It is a troubling scenario, because you don't really know how to react.  Are people just overreacting and causing a panic?  But what if I do nothing and there is a genuine shortage?

The article quotes an anonymous writer  in the investment site Seeking Alpha:

he recently bought 10 50-pound bags of rice at Costco. “I am concerned that when the news of rice shortage spreads, there will be panic buying and the shelves will be empty in no time. I do not intend to cause a panic, and I am not speculating on rice to make profit. I am just hoarding some for my own consumption,” he wrote.

That is very disturbing.

Slacker

Yes, I know I've been slacking.  Just a bit busy at work but I'll be back posting this weekend.  I have a few things on the burner I'd like to get up here.

Great stones they lay upon his chest until he plead aye or nay. They say he give them but two words. ‘More weight’...
