Fantastic, they can put him next to Hanuman.
Priapus wouldn't be amiss on a government building, either. Someone should see to that - where are the fucking pagans when they're actually WANTED for something?

You know, I can't even tell what's satire and what's real anymore.

This is actually a thing. There was a law change by Republicans to enable Christian iconography to be stuck up with no thought to unintended consequences because everyone's Christian in america, right?

If it will raise the cash or actually cause a positive change in the law well, come on, laugh with me.

Not surprising that Fox drops the "no time for this" quip. I hope the two restraining the kid really hate the asshole who shot him because I've got a horrible feeling he'll walk away from this. You'd hope this would be enough to break the blue line. If it isn't then the year's going to set a new bar for police fuckery.

Yah, I'm going to try to follow this one.

It's OK, he was a crazy white person. That's becoming a national service.

Kind of curious as to the inside joke and real resignation reasons on the other. More time to work on a write in campaign sounds like bullshit and its a very early jump. Forced out or jumping before pushed?

I'll stick a £5 on there being something sexual in the mix as well because politics.

We have reached the Asshat Singularity.  And I for one couldn't be happier.

At least now there's time to focus on improving downhill performance.

Interestingly, Mein Kampf is one of the biggest-selling ebooks of 2013.

Of course, it's being bought entirely by interested academics and amateur historians, of course.

From the FOX article:

Both parents said Vidal had just turned 18 years old and weighed about 90 pounds.

But wait:

Officers used a stun gun on Vidal and then a shot was fired and Vidal was hit, he added.

OK, they're still FOX. "A shot just happened to be fired and OOPSIE"

That is one of the saddest things I have ever read.

I am really disturbed by the lawyer's statement, simply because I bet he's right. I bet they'll find no wrongdoing. And officers will go one with carte blanche to shoot whoever they want, whenever they want.

I'm going to tweet it when I get home(and can do so).  I will try to keep an eye on it.
