Moron Who Wasn’t Running For President Isn’t Running For President

October 5, 2011 in Breaking News

Like sticking an electric toothbrush up your nostril, this may come as a shock to you – Sarah Palin will not be running for President of the United States. I know, I know, I know – there’s some people out there who can’t believe this news, especially the morons who gave her money, but fuck them – they’re morons and we live in a Darwinian world (unlike those particular morons). What now for Sarah Palin, you ask? Well – I’ll answer – a short burst of interest in the news for a day or so, then soon enough – divorce, scandal, drug allegations, family-feuding on a Borgiasesque level across all forms of media, soft-core center-spread in Playboy, a tell-all memoir then probably a violent, angry death at the hands (paws) of an actual female grizzly bear.

It’s the Circle of Modern American Life. The End.

Phoenix Cops Leave Cooler Bomb In Busy Airport

September 5, 2011 in Breaking News

It’s just not a real training exercise unless it we all feel like terrorism. In yet another blow to the reputation of Arizona law enforcement, the TSA/Phoenix Police Department K-9 (yes, the spelling is annoying) Explosive Detection Team planted an Igloo cooler containing two pounds of Cast Booster explosives in a non-secure zone of the Sky Harbor International Airport. You know that part of the airport where you cling to your overnight bag for dear life because it’s rife with thieves? That area. So the cops put the bag down behind a potted cactus or something so that they could let their puppy feel good by finding it, and someone walked off with their bomb. Read the rest of this entry →

Breaking News: Gay Is Everywhere

August 25, 2011 in Breaking News

A shocking report from the US Census Bureau has highlighted the pernicious spread of gay across America in 2011. Previously gay was thought to be concentrated in dazzling pink splotches in California and New York, but according to people who map gay, it seems that gay is practically everywhere across all 43 50 states. Cities previously known as having a concentrated amount of gay are no longer so gay as gay-counters thought, as gay begins to spread like a hot, sexy bitch into towns and seaside resorts without a discernible trace of antique shopping centers or relatively quiet and ordered bars. Gay analysts (ganalysts) who track the movement of gay put the results down to gay people having access to traditional forms of transportation, reliable electrical supplies and clean, running water.

Breaking: UK Navy Submarine Shooting – One Dead

April 8, 2011 in Breaking News

Dunno what’s happening and the situation is fluid, but the UK Navy’s nuclear submarine HMS Astute – which is currently moored in Southampton – has been involved in a shooting incident. Reporters can’t get close to it – I’m reporting what they can, but I’m already thinking it was either suicide or a terrorist attack.

Let you know what happens as soon as I do.

Breaking News: Filipino Ex-Cop “Acting Stupidly”? Not So Fast

August 23, 2010 in Breaking News

Please Read: When I began writing this story, there was a report that the gunman claimed that two hostages had been shot, but there was no confirmation from the police, or information on the severity of the injuries. I wrote this after making a decision that I wouldn’t post it if any hostage was killed. When I hit the publish button, the police were reporting that the gunman had been killed, but had not mentioned any hostage deaths. I incorrectly surmised that the omission meant that all of the hostages were alive. When I checked back after an hour or so, the report that I read said that one hostage was in critical condition.

Woman Marries Man

August 1, 2010 in Breaking News

Yesterday a woman married a man in a marriage ceremony. The parents of the bride and groom said they were very happy with the wedding. Several people witnessed the marriage, and celebrities included that guy who was in that show set in a bar who is already married to that woman in that time-travel movie, the one with the cowboys.

There was a lot of security around the wedding because of some of the people involved. The bride wore a dress by a designer, and while a lot of local people showed interest in the wedding, they couldn’t get in.

Everyone involved looked as if they had a good time.

Allahu Akbar? Not If He Made You, He’s Not

November 6, 2009 in Breaking News, Crazy Wingnut News

Nice pass, Timmy!I just posted the rant below at that other site in response to the news that mass killer Nidah Hasan was yelling “Allahu Akbar” (God is great) while shooting up the Fort Hood army base yesterday. It strikes me that we’re at a really strange place in our history if we need to go looking for reasons to be divided over a tragedy like this. Apparently, the right is feeling triumphal or something. I don’t get it. Read the rest of this entry →
