Tragic Boating Accident

I am 10 for 10, baby.

Speaking of Queen, a friend took this on the Interstate recently:

Another Ferrari Enzo gives its life for … nothing.

They should come with a dash placard reading “You Are Probably In Over Your Head Here.”

The Boater’s liberal side comes out of the closet: I don’t necessarily want one of these, but I want everyone else to have one, full-size. More to the point, I want everyone else to HAVE TO have one. All mandatory-like. You could still put 22″’s on, natch. Look at it this way - you could cover your car - windows and all - in bumper stickers, MySpace addresses or bacon and still get where you are going. And, more importantly, you wouldn’t be able to drive stupid around me.

Last night, I dreamed that an accident at the Post Office left me with about 100 Blackhawk catalogs.

Was that a dream or a nightmare?

See what I was saying about those zombies?

Suspected shoplifter bites employees

Two grocery store employees and a suspected shoplifter went to a local hospital for testing this morning after the alleged thief bit the workers.

About 7:30 a.m., an employee at County Market in the 3700 of Greenwood Road reportedly spotted Tracy Fowlkes trying to steal packages of meat, Randy Patrick, spokesman for Shreveport police. The worker told police he observed the 44-year-old shoving the meat into his pants, and when he tried to stop him, Fowlkes bit him. A store manager also was bitten as he got involved.

Fowlkes was taken to LSU Hospital for testing and will be booked into the City Jail on one count of theft by shoplifting and two counts of second-degree battery, Patrick said. The employees were tested at another hospital.

Lock and load, people.

Those zombies aren’t just going to kill themselves.

Is is just me, or does this look like just about the most fun you can have?

It’s 11:59 on Radio Free America; this is Uncle Sam, with music, and the truth until dawn. Right now I’ve got a few words for some of our brothers and sisters in the occupied zone: “The chair is against the wall, the chair is against the wall”, “John has a long mustache, John has a long mustache.” It’s twelve o’clock, American, another day closer to victory. And for all of you out there, on or behind the line, this is your song.

No embedding for this one, you’ll have to go watch.

There are a lot of lessons in this enlightening video. The first is that confiscation not only can happen here, it already has. Another lesson is not to let folks into your house; the 4th Amendment still has teeth. Outside your house, well, these days the 4th is more dentures than teeth. Also it’s not always possible, physically or otherwise, to keep folks out, so another lesson is not to keep all your eggs in one basket. Yet another is to have a lot of eggs…
