It’s Friday, March 05, 2010 and we’re a little perturbed this fine day.
Last month some lunatic flew a small plane into a building housing Internal Revenue Service offices, killing an IRS employee and himself. Yesterday, a lone gunman shot two Pentagon police officers before he was whacked by the injured policemen.
The douchebag flying the plane was upset with the IRS over a plethora of perceived wrongs perpetuated upon him. The gunman was “taking revenge” over some 9/11 cover-up conspiracy.
What scares me is that even though we’re never, ever gonna be safe from determined maniacs, someone will try to make us safe(r) from this sort of attack. I would not at all be surprised to see in the next few days, some new proposed legislation that’s supposed to make us safer (or feel that way) but actually does nothing more than create an inconvenience to otherwise law-abiding folk.
This just in from our “TMI Desk” — I’ve switched from briefs to boxers!
We now have this from our Helena Loony Watch Bureau – Helena police got a call Wednesday evening from a resident who said a man was waving a handgun at traffic on a local street. Police who responded asked the man to drop his weapon but it took him about two minutes to comply. Only while handcuffing the idiot did the cops realize that the gun was a realistic, plastic toy. Aside from the fact that no one whacked this imbecile, the police say that no law was broken and let the guy go.
Turning now to our “New Definitions Desk” – Harry Reid, dingbat and Senate Majority Leader is calling it a “good day” when only 36,000 Americans lost their jobs. And if you’re NOT one of those people, then yeah you could be having a good day.
I know I have readers in Nevada and you people have much to answer for. Yes, yes, I know; Montanans sent Max Baucus to the Senate (a bunch of times) but we have an excuse. Most voters in Montana couldn’t tell the difference between being “politically aware” and being Tupperware. You people in Nevada have Vegas and (I have from a reliable source) still have Elvis. I think it’s reasonable to expect just a little better from you.
I mean, it’s good that unemployment figures were better than expected, but Hell’s bells, Harry, even the President said 36,000 newly unemployed people was bullshit. I’m just surprised that no one called it proof the recession is over.
Looks like another short round today. Chris was out again today and even though it was a pretty slow couple of days, it sucks not being able to reject idiot callers. Had some fine ones today, including one douche who works at a software design company and thinks he needs to call me when he needs to delete email.
Looks like a pleasant weekend coming up. My wife has to work, so a good deal less pleasant for me. Be safe, be good to everyone and who know; maybe the spirit will move me and I’ll do a weekend edition.
Otherwise, tune Monday and read about my return the Rib & Chop house.
