China Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Marco Rubio suggests Tim Tebow as replacement for Capitol statue The Florida Legislature is actively seeking a replacement for the statue of Edmund Kirby Smith that currently resides in the U.S. Capitol. And Sen. Marco Rubio has a novel idea about who that replacement should be. Tim Tebow. Click on the link for the full article ------------------------------- If you weren't aware, each state can provide to statues for display in the US Capitol for notable citizens/representatives of their state. On a related side note, one of the two statues from the state of Arkansas which reside in the US Capitol is Judge U.M. Rose, after whom the Rose law firm is named. He is my great, great, great grandfather. And the ghost story about these statues is that every year at midnight when the new year begins the statues step down of of their pedestals and dance around to celebrate another year of existence of the union of states. So now I'm trying to picture my great, great, great grandfather dancing with Tim Tebow. Edited May 19, 2016 by China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 China: No, we are not sending cans of human flesh to Africa China's ambassador to Zambia released a stern statement on Tuesday, seeking to battle misinformation that he said was harming China's reputation in Africa. "This is completely a malicious slandering and vilification, which is absolutely unacceptable to us," according to Yang Youming's statement, which was widely reported in Chinese state media. The misinformation in question? That China was taking dead bodies, marinating them, putting them in cans and then selling them in African supermarkets. Such rumors are, of course, untrue. As the hoax-busting website Snopes.com notes, the photographs shared online that purport to show "human flesh" were from a 2012 marketing stunt for the video-game Resident Evil 6.

twa Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 DOJ lawyers ordered to take remedial ethics course http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/may/19/judge-orders-doj-lawyers-remedial-ethics-classes/ ‘Intentionally deceptive’ Justice Dept. lawyers ordered to take ethics classes A federal judge ordered the Justice Department to send its lawyers back to remedial ethics classes Thursday after finding that the administration repeatedly misled the court in the high-profile challenge to President Obama’s deportation amnesty. Judge Andrew S. Hanen said the lawyers knew the administration was approving amnesty applications but actively hid that information both from him and from the 26 states that had sued to stop the amnesty. Worse yet, even after the court ordered a halt to the whole amnesty, the Department of Homeland Security approved several thousand more applications, in defiance of the court’s strict admonition, Judge Hanensaid, counting at least four separate times the government’s attorneys misled him. He even quoted from the scene in “Miracle on 34th Street” when the boy is called to testify to Santa’s existence and says everyone knows not to tell a lie to the court. Judge Hanen said the Justice Department lawyers have an even stricter duty: Tell the truth, don’t mislead the court and don’t allow it to be misled by others. “The Government’s lawyers failed on all three fronts,” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) CBS 5 Reporter Had a Really Crappy Monday Goodyear Police arrested CBS 5 journo Jonathan Lowe Monday afternoon while he was on assignment, reporting on a former Arizona State University football player who allegedly sacrificed the family dog by putting him in a smoker in order to appease an angry God. That doesn't begin to explain the kind of day Lowe was having, however. "Lowe chose to use the front yard of a residence to relieve himself," Goodyear Police Department spokeswoman Lisa Kutis tells New Times. "An onlooker from across the street called it in to officers. They approached him, he said he'd had to relieve himself, and they arrested him." Lowe was handcuffed and taken to the Goodyear Police station, where he was booked, cited, and released. Kutis says Lowe was cited under Goodyear code violation 11-1-30, "public urination or defecation," a Class 1 misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 or six months in jail. Yes, we know what you're thinking. Goodyear police haven't released the arrest report, but the department confirms that the citation was for defecation.

China Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Drunk Vicar: ‘I’m from the Vatican, you’re f*cked' A Church of England vicar shouted: ‘I’m from the Vatican, you’re f*cked’ as he brawled with police after a vodka-fuelled nightclub binge. Parish priest Gareth Jones, 36, yelled: ‘I have diplomatic immunity’ as he punched, kicked, bit and spat at a police officer and a paramedic who found him passed out in his clerical frock on Charing Cross Road, in Covent Garden, central London. When paramedic Ian Pollock gently shook the passed-out pastor at 2.30am to check he was alright, he awoke and growled: ‘I am going to f*ck you up.’ Jones threatened to attack Mr Pollock but was unable to stand up after downing three bottles of wine, several pints of beer, a number of gin and tonics and vodka during a binge of Biblical proportions. The married father-of-one, who was ordained in 2006 and serves at St Mary and the Virgin in Great Ilford, northeast London, then lashed out and kicked the emergency worker twice in the leg. Fearing for his safety, Mr Pollock mounted the violent vicar in the street in a desperate attempt to subdue him. ‘Two police officers on the other side of the road see what’s going on,’ said prosecutor Edward Aydin. ‘Mr Pollock, fearing an attack, positioned himself on top of Mr Jones to protect himself. ‘Mr Jones is still attacking the paramedic, he punches him in the chest then tried to bite his arms and is spitting on him.’ As the officers tried to hold Jones’ legs during the struggle, he kicked PC Andrew Fletcher in the left cheek before claiming he was from the Vatican embassy in a cunning attempt to avoid arrest. ‘He says: ‘I have diplomatic immunity’,’ said Mr Aydin. ‘The officer says ‘which embassy?’ and he says: ‘The Vatican, you’re f*cked.’ ‘He is growling makes no attempt to respond to a caution and continues to shout that he has diplomatic immunity.’ He added: ‘I’m not sure if he has anything to do with the Vatican because he is with the Church of England. ‘There’s no relationship between those two religions.’ Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 There’s a guy outside Moscow who dresses up as Batman and beats up drug dealers There's a man in the Khimki area outside Moscow who dresses up as Batman and raids drug dens, beating up any drug dealers he finds. The “Khimki Batman” claims to have captured roughly 40 criminals. Law enforcement officers told the newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets that, earlier this month, a taxi driver in the Khimki area witnessed a man dressed as Batman exit a building that later proved to be a drug den. The taxi driver says the Batman threw some kind of fire bomb at the ground and then disappeared into the shadows (see the video below). Police officers soon arrived, entered the building, and soon walked out escorting two men in handcuffs.

China Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Muskegon River tubing trip turns into overnight nightmare for three women MUSKEGON COUNTY, MI – They left for what they thought would be an easy float down Muskegon River Tuesday afternoon – but ended up spending the night on the river bank, scared and yelling for help. The trio of young women were rescued 20 hours later after a fisherman eventually heard their cries, said Muskegon Township Deputy Fire Chief Bob Grabinski. The women, all in their 20s, had never been tubing before and decided it would be a fun thing to do, Grabinski said. So they bought some tubes and headed to the popular launch site at the Maple Island Road bridge, Grabinski said. "They were informed by somebody at the bridge that the river goes in a circle and if they put in there they would come back to their car," he said. "Not knowing anything, they set off on their little adventure." About six hours later, with darkness closing in and their car nowhere to be found, the trio decided to get out on the riverbank where they ended up spending the night, Grabinski said. "They said they hugged a tree all night yelling for help," he said, adding that that stretch of river is very isolated. About noon on Wednesday a fisherman floating the river heard their cries for help, investigated and then called 911. The women, one from Muskegon Heights and two from Muskegon, did not have a phone with them, Grabinski said.

China Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Anderson suspect’s hidden secret: A chastity belt CLINTON — There was more going on than met the eye during this bizarre DUI stop, and the eye was met by plenty. When Curtis Scott Eidam, 35, of Oak Ridge was stopped on suspicion of drunken driving at a sobriety checkpoint last month, his wardrobe immediately grabbed attention, an official said. He was wearing "some kind of red mesh see-through hose" with a ribbon tied in his goatee, said Investigator Bobby Joe Higgs of the Anderson County District Attorney General's office. Capping Eidam's outfit: "He had on some kind of little skirt," Higgs said. Others familiar with the May 14 stop called the garment a tutu. Eidam made a disclosure once in custody, according to the arrest warrant filed by Tennessee Highway Patrol Sgt. Dennis Smith — he needed a key. Eidam told officers he was wearing what he called a locked chastity belt, and it was "attached to his penis," the warrant states. One key was on his key chain, the suspect said, and the other on a necklace around his passenger's neck. That 44-year-old woman, described as "highly intoxicated" in the trooper's warrant, wasn't charged. Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
