What's This All About?

I had not heard of this until now.  I was thinking that the worst Muslim found on any airliner since 9/11 was either that Reid character or the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens.  Cough.

How Nuanced Is This Law?

"Joseph Nee, 18, a senior at Marshfield High School whose father heads the main Boston police union, pleaded innocent to conspiracy to commit mass murder and promotion of anarchy. He was ordered held without bail."

Does this mean that an individual residing in the state of Massachusetts cannot speak, publicly, in support of anarchy?  Does it mean pamphlets or other materials may not be freely distributed by individuals who promote anarchy?  Or is this only some kind of add on law, which can only be part of a package deal?  You can’t get this, unless you did that, too.

I’m just wondering.

Free Pill Boxes, I'll Fill'em with Drugs After You Vote for Me

The above title, must be the message John Kerry is spreading after viewing this photo and accompanying caption.

Dig those funky glasses on the Kerry flunky handing out the pill boxes.  “Peace, love, dope, beads, bangles, crash pads and Hare Krishna,” baby.

An August Body?

The Supreme Court of the United States is supposedly an august body.  Brilliant legal minds, supposedly, deciding issues of utmost importance to individuals living in the United States.  Well, if this is true, why in the world is the Supreme Court diddling around with a case that involves a convicted murderer wearing shackles?

“High court will take up prisoner shackling case"

Does it have anything to do with not enough orgies taking place out there in the world?

They're Listening, Evidently

You’re sitting there, minding your own business, watching your flat screen Toshiba teevee, and there’s a knock on the door.  You’re not expecting anyone, certainly not any ”...Air Force staffers, a policeman and a search and rescue officer...," but there they are at your front door anyway.  What the heck is up with this, you think to yourself.  Well, this is what is up with that.

"What they found was a man watching his Toshiba flat-screen TV equipped with a built-in VCR, DVD and CD player. It seems the TV was sending out the 121.5 MHz distress signal."

And what is the outcome of this little search and rescue operation?

"Van Rossman was ordered to keep his TV turned off - or face a $10,000 fine for emitting a false distress alert."

Dang, I hope Van Rossman didn’t miss the Yankees/Red Sox game last night.

“Toshiba TV cries for help."
