Life Imitates Hangover Part 3

From The Daily Mail UK:

A giraffe has died after smashing its head into a low bridge while it was being transported along a busy highway in South Africa.

The moments before the accident at around 2.30pm today were caught on camera by a horrified fellow driver who described hearing a loud crack.

South Africa's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals told local media the giraffe has since died and the truck driver could face criminal charges.

Engineer Thinus Botha, 32, took the photo of the two giraffes after driving next to the truck for half a mile on the N1 on the outskirts of Pretoria, South Africa's capital.

He decided to pull over to capture the moment - and witnessed the gruesome accident seconds later.

'I pulled over just before the bridge and a few seconds after I took the photo the first giraffe hit its head on the bridge,' he told MailOnline.

She Deserves The Death Penalty

From the LVRJ:
Police say they were professional burglars who quickly became cold-blooded killers.
Cody David Winters, 27, also known as “Havoc,” and Natasha Galenn Jackson, 35, terrorized a southeast Las Vegas neighborhood Tuesday, police said, choosing their victims at random in a frantic attempt to escape capture.
Richard Ramos, 59, tried to protect his family when Winters and Jackson tricked their way into his home. Winters shot and killed Ramos after the two fought for Winters’ gun.
A few minutes later and a few houses away, a woman was shot in the stomach by Winters after he broke into her home to evade officers, police say. Her name has not been released, but she is in critical condition and not expected to survive, police said.
What prompted Winters and Jackson to go from theft to extreme violence remains a mystery. Winters was a recent transplant from Idaho with a long criminal history of selling drugs and abusing alcohol, but there wasn’t much violence in his background.
“We’re in complete shock,” said his sister, Trisha Gardner, 25. “I had no idea he was even in Las Vegas.”
The deadly spree started at about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, after a Nevada Department of Transportation employee saw a white Nissan Altima on the side of U.S. Highway 95 near Tropicana Avenue and stopped to offer help, according to a police report released Wednesday.
The car had been stolen from a northwest valley neighborhood on July 8, however, and the couple using it had no intention of waiting on the highway for repairs, police said.
Police said Winters robbed the worker at gunpoint before transferring a bag of burglary tools, a television and several stolen items from the Altima to the NDOT vehicle....
After knocking on several doors, the couple walked west on Autumn Street, where they saw a car they hoped to steal in the driveway of the Ramos family home. They knocked on the door, telling Richard Ramos they needed help.
On Wednesday, Julie Ramos recalled being jolted from sleep by her husband’s last words.
“They need to use the phone,” he said.
Then she heard a gunshot.
Julie said she staggered into the room, where she saw Richard on the floor being stabbed with a screwdriver and trying to fight off his attackers. She said she tried to help, but Jackson attacked her, slamming her head against the floor until her 19-year-old son pulled Jackson away.
Three of the Ramos’ children — two teenagers and a 7-year-old — were in the home. The eldest children witnessed the attack.
Richard fought for his life, trying to get the gun, the police report said, but Jackson helped Winters pry Richard’s hands from the weapon.
Winters, angry after being beaten and bruised, then shot and killed Richard in front of his family. He might have also killed Julie, the police official said, but his gun jammed.
Julie and her three children hid briefly in a bathroom before escaping out a window and running to a neighbor’s house, she said. She had been stabbed four times in the neck and shoulder....
Winters broke a window to enter the home on Almondwood, waking the man and woman who lived there, police said. He demanded car keys, which the woman readily surrendered. But he shot her in the stomach, anyway, and dragged her outside as a hostage, according to the report and the police official.
When the wounded woman fell to the ground, several Metro officers shot and killed Winters.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/police-burglars-turned-killers-terrorized-neighborhood
While the one thug is dead, the female thugette need to sentenced to death, otherwise, why even have the death penalty.  She is an animal who doesn't deserve to live and we put down vicious animals.
Put some public defender will make up excuses like blaming her partner, saying she had a rough upbringing or was high on drugs when they killed innocent people.

Strange Statistic

According to Metro police:
There have been 47 traffic fatalities in it's jurisdiction this year.
There have been about 75 murders in Metro's jurisdiction this year.
Is it safer to be on the road in Las Vegas than in the neighborhoods?

Talk About Poor Timing

Just as our family is about to move out of Las Vegas, White Castle hamburgers is coming to Las Vegas.
From the LVRJ: The immensely popular White Castle burgers are finally finding a permanent home in Las Vegas.
The burger chain will open it’s first Las Vegas restaurant at the Best Western Plus Casino Royale, Eater confirmed on Tuesday.
The permit applications referenced a “future White Castle restaurant,” according to Eater, but an expected opening date was not listed.
While the Strip location would be the first brick-and-mortar White Castle location in the valley, Las Vegas is no stranger to the burgers. The famous sliders have a cult following that has turned up in droves at every Las Vegas Foodie Fest since last April, the first time White Castle participated in the event.
There are more than 400 White Castle locations. Currently, the closest restaurant to Las Vegas is in Cape Girardeau, Mo., more than 1,500 miles away.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/life/fooddining/white-castle-finally-coming-las-vegas
Now, if we only could get a Culvers.

Pawn Stars Try To Build Up Area

From the Las Vegas Sun:
The long parade of tourists who regularly stop by the downtown Las Vegas shop featured on the History Channel reality show "Pawn Stars" could soon have something better to do while waiting in line.

Gold & Silver Pawn Shop co-owner Rick Harrison has drawn up plans for a Pawn Star Plaza shopping center that could boast six restaurants and about 16 small shops. The company's general contractor has submitted the proposal to the city planning department, and a review is expected in September, according to pawn shop general manager Theo Spyer.

"We have always tried to improve our customer experience while waiting in line," Spyer said, pointing to misters, benches and a hot dog stand at the premises. "Now we intend to take it to the next level. We are currently working on a line system that will enable the fans to patronize Pawn Star Plaza without losing their position in line."
The plaza, which Harrison estimates would cost $2 million to build, would consist of several colorful, modular units fit together like a Rubik's Cube. Harrison said he was inspired by Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh's nearby Container Park, which is built out of shipping containers commonly found on trains and barges.
"It was more of the look, flexibility, ease of construction and simplicity of design that created Rick's vision for the space," Spyer said.
The pawn shop, which is open 24 hours a day, is located in a gritty area near bail-bond offices and a now-closed tattoo parlor. Harrison said he wants to help rejuvenate the area without using city redevelopment funds.  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2014/jul/28/pawn-stars-tv-star-plans-stores-near-famous-shop/
I don't know, but the area is fairly small and so the building will have to be small.  And the colors being shown?  All I can say I "Damn, that's butt ugly".

More Senile Harry Sleaze

From the LVRJ: Assemblywoman Lucy Flores, a Democrat running for lieutenant governor, won the endorsement of the Latin Chamber of Commerce’s political action committee, but only after last-minute intervention by her biggest benefactor — U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.
The Latino BizPAC had considered a dual endorsement of both Flores, D-Las Vegas, and her Republican opponent, state Sen. Mark Hutchison, R-Las Vegas, who enjoys support within the chamber because of his business-friendly views.
But at the last minute, after Reid lobbied the Hispanic business leaders by phone, the Latino BizPAC late Friday decided to officially endorse only Flores, giving her a boost. She already enjoys significant support in the Hispanic community as one of the first Latinas to win an Assembly seat in the Nevada Legislature, in 2010.
Several sources familiar with the behind-the-scenes discussions confirmed that Reid intervened to promote Flores, but they spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they fear retribution by the Senate majority leader. Reid has an out-sized influence on Nevada politics and runs the state Democratic Party.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/politics/elections/reid-quashed-latin-chamber-s-gop-endorsement
Not that it really matters but the Latino BizPAC is a sell out to Hispanics and Hispanic business people, for whom they supposedly represent.  If I were Hispanic, I would be more pissed at the Latino BizPAC than Reid.  Reid is senile and doesn't know what he is doing but Latino BizPAC and it's leaders are sell outs and wimps.

Well, He Probably Didn't Open A Roth IRA

From the LVRJ:
After saying he found a black bag filled with cash, the man charged with robbing the Bellagio Friday night blew through $10,000 on a room at the Hard Rock resort, shopping at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace and four hookers for “socializing,” according to his arrest report.
The man, who was not officially identified, denied he robbed the Bellagio at gunpoint of $43,500 cash and then told detectives he “was smoking too much I guess,” but wouldn’t say what he was smoking.
He told investigators his name was Scott Rice of Kansas, but police did not believe him because he had no official identification to support his claim. He was arrested Saturday night after a valley-wide manhunt and is being held at the Clark County Detention Center without bail.
The robbery happened about 8:30 p.m. Friday when a man walked up to a Bellagio cashier’s cage, pulled a gun out of his backpack and demanded money from a female clerk. The clerk later complained of chest pains and was checked out by paramedics, but was not taken to a hospital.
The man identified as John Doe on Saturday paid a tourist $300 to rent him a $400 room at the Hard Rock Hotel, according to his arrest report.
The tourist then notified police, who went to the resort located nearly two miles from the Bellagio. Investigators began to watch the room via security surveillance and soon detained for questioning four prostitutes who left the room, two of whom carried wads of cash bound by labels that read “Bellagio Count Team.”  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/police-bellagio-robber-used-cash-hookers-clothes
If I had just robbed the Bellagio, I would have bought a car or a plane ticket and got the hell out of Vegas.
To me, it looks like the guy knew he was going to be busted so he went out in style.
On a related note, TV station Fox 5, on their 11:00 PM news, called the hookers "adult entertainers".  Umm, ok.

Like Russia Could Care Less

From Fox News: The Obama administration has accused Russia of violating a 1987 nuclear missile treaty by testing a ground-launched cruise missile and says the U.S. is prepared for immediate high-level dialogue with Moscow over the matter. 
An administration official told Fox News in a statement that the violation "is a very serious matter which we have attempted to address with Russia for some time now." The New York Times first reported the accusation. 
President Obama informed Russian President Vladimir Putin in a letter Monday of the U.S.'  determination that Russia broke the agreement. The official said the U.S. is prepared to engage in "senior-level bilateral dialogue immediately" with Russia with the goal of assuring Washington that Moscow will return to compliance with the treaty.
"The United States is committed to the viability of the I.N.F. Treaty," the official said. "We encourage Russia to return to compliance with its obligations under the Treaty and to eliminate any prohibited items in a verifiable manner."
According to the Times, Russia started testing the missiles as early as 2008, and the Obama administration flagged them as a possible violation at the end of 2011. 
Russian officials have said they looked into the allegations and consider the matter closed. 
Obama's most senior advisors recently unanimously agreed that the tests was a serious violation of the treaty, the Times reported. The State Department will publicly reveal the accusation in an annual report on compliance with arms control agreements Tuesday.
The treaty confrontation comes at a highly strained time between President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin over Russia's intervention in Ukraine.  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/07/28/us-accuses-russia-violating-187-missile-treaty/
So, the liberal answer to Russia's supposed violations is.... get this...
To talk about it.
Oh yeah, I am sure Putin is just quaking in his man boots because he has to talk to Obama and his administration.

Wow, were they wrong.
Obama ought to give back the Nobel Peace prize.
Or the Nobel Peace prize committee ought to repossess the prize.
Obama surely has not given peace to the world.

This Product Really Works

Sometimes, you run across a product that really impresses you and you need to tell someone.
I ran into this product by accident.
I had been having problems with clogged drains lately, especially in the bathtub.  I tried Drano and Liquid Plumber and that worked for a couple of days and then the problem returned.
I then bought a Zip It from Wal-Mart for $2.47.  It's a 2 foot long piece of plastic with small teeth on both sides of the stick.  It removed the hair from the tub and whatever else was in there.  I also cleaned out the kid's drains and they were severely clogged.
It's been 2 months and have not had a reoccurrence of the clogs.
So, if you have a problems, I suggest you try this out before trying a liquid drain opener at 2 times the price.
(I do not accept advertising though I am approached weekly, so when I recommend a product, it is my own opinion and it is from my own experience)

Man Boobs And Long Hair Don't Mix

For about he 4th time this year, at the grocery store I work at, I told a customer, "Have a nice evening ma'am" but it turns out to be a dude with man boobs and long hair.
Sorry, but if you have long hair and man boobs, you have no right to be offended if a person calls you ma'am.

Metro Police are Wrong

A Las Vegas Metro police officer was transferred out of SWAT because of comments on Facebook.
From the LVRJ:
A heat-of-the-moment comment in the aftermath of the standoff at Cliven Bundy’s ranch has cost two Las Vegas SWAT officers their jobs on the elite unit.
The officers were booted back to patrol after a Metro sniper posted an inflammatory comment about Bundy’s militant supporters on social media, the Review-Journal has learned.
Officer Russell Laws, 41, took to Facebook just hours after the April 12 standoff between federal and local officers and armed protesters ended without bloodshed.
A Bundy supporter in a public Facebook thread posted a news photo of a militia member aiming a rifle at officers.
Laws replied that police had their guns trained on Bundy’s people, too.
“I just wish you could see how big that guy prone with the rifles head was in the scope of the (police) Snipers .308 …. don’t worry, he wouldn’t have have felt a thing!” Laws posted.
Laws, a SWAT sniper since 2009, was not at the standoff, but it didn’t take long for Bundy’s supporters to look at his Facebook profile and determine he was a Metro cop.
“I have a .308 with a 20x too, buddy. I’m not worried about some fat, oath breaking cooterville SWAT sniper,” replied J.L. Bourne, an author of zombie apocalypse books and a former military officer.
“I’m going to archive this, and screen capture everything in case their names ever come up in a police brutality case.”
Bourne provided the Review-Journal a screenshot of the Facebook post.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/bundy-blm/officers-kicked-swat-after-bundy-comment
What the cop said was true and if anything, it should show that the cops were ready for anything that could have happened if someone fired a shot at the cops.
But the Metro administrators apparently have decided that the truth is not as important as appearance.

This Really Sucks

You go for a walk on the beach with your daughter and what is probably the last you think of that will kill you or your daughter?
I'm sure an airplane would be at the low end of the list.
From Fox News: A father was killed and his 9-year-old daughter critically injured Sunday while walking along a Florida beach when a small plane crash landed on the Gulf Coast only feet from the surf, authorities said.
Wendy Rose, a spokeswoman for the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, said the pilot and his only passenger weren't hurt when the Piper aircraft lost power and touched down Sunday afternoon on a beach in Venice, Florida, as the two from Georgia were waling along the sand.

"A man and one of his children who were walking on the beach were apparently injured by the plane," said Rose, adding the 36-year-old man from Georgia was later pronounced dead.

She said events began unfolding about 2:45 p.m. Sunday when the Venice airport received a distress call that the plane was unable to return to the airport.
"They were contacted by a pilot whose small plane was in distress. He knew he couldn't make it back to the airport and was going to try to land on the beach. And he did land at the edge of the water on the beach," Rose said.
She said the girl was airlifted to a children's hospital where she was in critical condition. Details of her injuries weren't immediately released.  http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/07/28/father-killed-daughter-injured-when-small-plane-crash-lands-on-florida-beach/?intcmp=latestnews
I'm not a pilot but it seems to me that the pilot could have landed in a different place or even in the water.
But chose to land on the beach where people are, to save on repairs on the plane, but instead killed a father and severely injured his daughter, probably by the propeller.

Umm, Why Would The U.N. Want An Immediate Cease Fire?

From Fox News: The U.N. Security Council ratified a draft statement early Monday calling for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. 
The council adopted the presidential statement as Muslims begin celebrating the Eid al-Fitr holiday marking the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.
The statement calls for both Israel and the Islamic militant group Hamas "to accept and fully implement the humanitarian cease-fire into the Eid period and beyond." It said this would allow for the delivery of urgently needed assistance. 
The statement also called on both sides to begin to "engage in efforts to achieve a durable and fully respected cease-fire," based on a proposal previously put forward by Egypt. Hamas has rejected previous Egyptian proposals for a truce in the region and insisted that any cease-fire agreement must include the lifting of a joint Israeli-Egyptian blockade of Gaza.   http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/07/28/gaza-crisis-un-agrees-on-demand-for-cease-fire/
So, why would the U.N. want the cease fire?
Maybe because more people will find out that the U.N is helping the Hamas terrorists by helping hide Hamas in U.N. schools and other U.U. buildings?
Perhaps because they don't Israel to find all the tunnels Hamas has built over the years while the U.N. did nothing?
Maybe because the U.N. is powerless in preventing Hamas from using their citizens as human shields/sacrificial lambs?
Anyways, this the U.N. and no one really cares what they say.

So, How Is That Hurricane Season Going?

The global/climate change crazies have been mighty silent lately because they thought that global warming/climate change would cause more hurricanes.
So, far this year, we have had zero hurricanes hot the United States mainland.  One hurricane skirted by some islands by North Carolina in the Atlantic causing minimal damage. 
I think an outhouse was tipped over.

Just more evidence that global warming/climate change is just one big fraud.

Another Reason Why Liberals Hate Arizona

Today, I had to fill out the paperwork for the new school I will be working for in Arizona.
One of the things I had to sign was a loyalty oath to the United States and to Arizona and their laws.
I know President Obama could never sign such an oath as he doesn't support the United States and it's laws.

Words/Actions Have Meaning

Apparently, President Obama is just too stupid to understand that actions and words have meanings.
It appears that the cease fire between the terrorists of Hamas and Israel is over.
From Fox News: Israel said Sunday that it was resuming its ground offensive and airstrikes in the Gaza Strip early Sunday, closing a unilateral 24-hour cease-fire window after the Islamic militant group Hamas fired a salvo of rockets at southern Israel.
"Due to Hamas' incessant rocket fire during the humanitarian window, we are renewing our aerial, naval, and ground activity in Gaza," an Israel Defense Forces spokesman tweeted Sunday. The next tweet read, "The IDF has repeatedly urged the civilian population of Gaza not to approach combat zones."
The Israeli military said about a dozen rockets had been fired from Gaza since midnight Sunday, without causing any reported casualties or damage. Israel's Cabinet had decided to extend the cease-fire for 24 hours, until midnight Monday (5 p.m. Eastern Time Sunday), but warned that its military would respond to any fire from Gaza and would continue to demolish cross-border tunnels used by militants to stage attacks.
The rocket fire began late Saturday after Hamas, who have demanded the lifting of an Israeli and Egyptian blockade on the territory and the release of prisoners, refused to extend the truce.
"Once again Hamas is cynically using the people of Gaza as a human shield," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement.  http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/07/27/israel-resumes-gaza-offensive-after-rocket-attacks/
So, why did Hamas not want the cease fire?
Perhaps they believe the support of the United States?
And why do they believe that?
Maybe the millions of dollars the U.S. gave Hamas for supposed humanitarian aide?
Maybe the negative words against Israel by Obama and John Kerry.
Maybe they see the horrible and biased reporting by the U.S. media who are anti-Israel and anti-Jewish.
Maybe they see the pro-terrorist poorly attended protests in the United States but the protests are well covered by the media.
Just as Obama implied that those coming to the United States illegally would get amnesty, perhaps Obama promised or implied something to the Hamas terrorists.
I just wonder what Obama implied or promised.

The Guy Is Entitled To His Opinion

From the Baltimore Sun: A popular ESPN analyst is being highly criticized for comments he made Friday morning about women and what he seemed to imply could be their potential role in domestic violence.
In a discussion on “First Take,” Stephen A. Smith seemed to imply that some women are to blame for domestic violence while he debated Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice's two-game suspension under the personal conduct policy for an alleged February altercation between Rice and his then-fiancee, which ended with her unconscious in an Atlantic City casino elevator. 
“Let’s make sure we don’t do anything to provoke wrong actions,” Smith said, apparently addressing women who might become victims of domestic violence. Smith said it is never OK for a man to put his hands on a woman to hurt her but added, “Let’s try to do our part in making sure that doesn’t happen,” he said, apparently to women.
Rice “probably” deserves more than a two-game suspension, Smith said. “But at the same time, we also have to make sure that we learn as much as we can about elements of provocation.”
Fellow ESPN host Michelle Beadle lambasted the segment on Twitter, saying she would "never feel clean again." Fellow Twitter users hopped on board with her.  
Cindy Southworth, vice president of National Network to End Domestic Violence said she is "outraged" that Smith made the comments, then attempted to clarify his meaning.
"He is in a lose-lose situation," she said of Smith's attempts to clarify what he meant. 
After deleting several tweets late Friday afternoon (Deadspin captured them here) concerning his comments on the show, Smith said his initial comments about domestic violence were not clearly articulated and therefore were misunderstood by some viewers.

I don't agree with Smith said, but I have also talked to some African-American males and I am sure that they have had the same opinion as Smith.
As far as Michelle Beadle not ever feeling clean again, here is my suggestion to her:

Fast Food Thugs Threaten Food Fight

From the Houston Chronicle: Comparing their campaign to the civil rights movement, fast food workers from across the country voted Saturday to escalate their efforts for $15-an-hour pay and union membership by using nonviolent civil disobedience.
More than 1,300 workers gathered in a convention in center in suburban Chicago to discuss the future of a campaign that has spread to dozens of cities in less than two years. Wearing T-shirts that said "Fight for $15" and "We Are Worth More," the workers cheered loudly and said they would win if they stuck together.
"People are just fed up," said Cindy Enriquez, 20, of Phoenix.
The $8.25 an hour she makes working for McDonald's is not enough to go to college and become a police officer and barely enough to pay her rent, Enriquez said.
While the vote didn't list any specific acts of civil disobedience, Enriquez said some workers suggested sit-ins and perhaps blocking businesses. She said they need to keep pressure on owners even if it means sitting in front of restaurants "to make sure they do not sell anything."
"We're going to keep on going," Enriquez said.  http://www.chron.com/news/us/article/Fast-food-workers-plan-next-steps-in-wage-campaign-5648446.php
Here's a message to the fast food thugs:
Get some education so you are not stuck at a dead end job for the rest of your life.
I've never wrote this and told few people, but here is my story.
I used to live in Havre Montana, when I got laid off of my job.  I got evicted from my apartment and had to move back to Wisconsin, basically penniless.
I had to live with my mom.  After 2 days, I got a job working at a nursing home at $4 an hour and I moved into a rooming house.
After a few months, I got a job at a nursing home that paid about $7 and moved in an apartment.
After a year or so, I got  job working for the state of Wisconsin at an institution for the mentally retarded and moved into a nice apartment.
I then started college at the technical college at the same time I joined a volunteer fire department and ambulance and worked part time at a nursing home.
I then transferred to U.W. Madison, still working 2 jobs plus the fire department and paid my way through college and got my 4 year degree.
I went from being totally broke and in about 10 years, a college graduate and a special education teacher and have taught the most severely disabled individuals for almost 20 years.
So, to those who complain about their lot in life, I have no sympathy for you.  I know what it is like to be poor and I went out and did something about it.
They can to.

ObamaVille: Baby Shot After Michelle Visits

From the Chicago Tribune: The 3-year-old boy was outside with his mother, her boyfriend and another man about 10 p.m. Friday night in the Brighton Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side.
The child isn’t old enough to know what a Satan’s Disciple or Two-Sixer is, let alone comprehend all the things that can mean in a neighborhood like this one. But in Chicago, gang conflicts have a way of consuming the neighborhoods where they occur and noncombatants often become an unwilling and unknowing participant.
The child was shot in the chest Friday night, a victim of his mother’s affiliations, said police, who attribute the attack to one of a number of ongoing gang conflicts that occasionally climax with gunfire.
The boy was shot in the 4400 block of South Sacramento Avenue. Charges are pending against three people in the attack, Police News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada said Saturday afternoon.
Police said those standing near the child exchanged words with a passing group of two men and two women, though those involved hadn't been entirely forthcoming and police were trying to sort out conflicting narratives. But the boy – and none of the adults -- ended up in critical condition at Mount Sinai Hospital with a gunshot wound.'
It’s at least the second shooting this week in that area. Last weekend someone shot into a bar commonly known as a two-sixer gang hangout, full of gang members mourning a man who died after police tasered him, and killed a member of the gang while wounding another non-affiliated patron.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-3yearold-shot-neighbor-says-of-violence-its-spreading-20140726,0,7107860.story
Obviously, it is the small child's fault.  The child didn't get the message from Michelle that the violence needs to stop as Michelle talked to a bunch of millionaires in a fancy hotel on the coast of Lake Michigan.

Bellagio Get Robbed Again

From the LVRJ:
An armed robber escaped with tens of thousand of dollars from the Bellagio on Friday night, and Las Vegas police have asked for the public’s help finding a person of interest in the crime.
Las Vegas police responded to the casino about 8:30 p.m. and the man pointed a gun at a cashier and demanded money. He then ran from the casino on foot.
It’s unclear if the man had a vehicle.
The man was caught on video. He didn’t threaten anyone but the teller.
“Unfortunately the teller was pretty much traumatized by the whole thing,” said a police officer who requested anonymity. “It’s pretty horrific having a gun stuck in your face.”
Police don’t know the exact amount the man stole but estimated it at $30,000. A casino employee confirmed that a man robbed a cashier cage at gunpoint and he said the robber took about $50,000.
A hotel spokesperson said the Bellagio is cooperating with police, who did not provide any information Saturday morning.
As a result of the investigation, Metro’s robbery detectives identified 32-year-old Jesse Jones as a “person of interest” in the incident. Police described Jones as about 6 feet 2 inches tall and 215 pounds with a bald head and blue eyes. He has a tattoo above his eyes, across both eyebrows, that reads, “WHITE PRIDE.”  http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/person-interest-sought-bellagio-robbery
In old Vegas, this never would have happened:

So, why do the Gaza terrorists want to continue the war against Israel?
For this reason and tis reason alone:

I Think Obama Is Begging To Be Impeached

From WND: Observing what he could only describe as “chaos on the border” during a midnight tour of the Rio Grande on Friday, Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, concluded, “President Obama is begging to be impeached
For all I know, Obama is preparing to process five million illegal immigrant kids and teenagers into the United States,” Stockman said upon observing border operations near McAllen, Texas.
“He wants us to impeach him now,” Stockman theorized, “before the midterm election because his senior advisors believe that is the only chance the Democratic Party has to avoid a major electoral defeat. Evidently Obama believes impeachment could motivate the Democratic Party base to come out and vote.” http://www.wnd.com/2014/07/congressman-at-border-obama-begging-to-be-impeached/
Obama's approval is just horrible.
Bill Clinton's approval was horrible but then he got impeached and now he is basically the head of the Democrats and is making $millions giving speeches and traveling the world over.  Clinton is the Dean of the liberals/Democrats, whether it is deserved or not.
Obama, well, basically, he is the worst president ever, has shown to be incompetent and he basically has checked out being the president.
If Obama is impeached, he will gain some popularity, his base will strengthen and in a few years, he will be making $millions.
Obama doesn't want to end up like Jimmy Carter- his claim to fame is nailing nails into a house.  And how often is Jimmy Carter paid to give speeches?
So, in Obama's dreams, he is impeached and the world will come knocking on his door.

Why Obama Won't Visit The Border

The stupid Republicans are asking why President Obama won't go to the Southern border with Mexico to see what kind of damage he has caused with all the illegals coming over the border.
Well, why would Obama go to the border?
When was the last time he went to an inner city in America?
When was the last time Obama has sat down with the down and out in the United States?
When was the last time Obama has addressed gang bangers and told them to stop the violence?
Nope, it's vacations, golfing, fund raising, blowing out his carbon footprint to a size 8953.
He has no time for the common folk.

I Guess The Thugs Didn't isten To Michelle Obama

Well, a day after Michelle Obama spoke with millionaires and at a very ritzy hotel and complained about the violence in Obamaville, it appears her message just didn't make it to the thugs in Obamavile.
From the Chicago Tribune: At least nine people have been shot in Chicago since Friday afternoon, including a 13-year-old boy fatally shot on the West Side and a 3-year-old boy critically wounded on the Southwest Side, authorities said.
The 3-year-old was shot in the 4400 block of South Sacramento Avenue about 10:15 p.m., authorities said.
A shooting victim was taken from that area to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition, according to a Chicago Fire Department spokesman.
The boy was outside with his mother and another man when two men and two women walked past and exchanged words with the boy's mother and the man she was with, police said.
Someone among the group opened fire from down the block after walking by, police said, hitting only the boy.
The area is one coping with an ongoing gang conflict but it's not clear if the conflict is related to this particular shooting.  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-chicago-shootings-violence-20140725,0,5288915.story
With President Obama's satisfaction rating at an all time low, it appears that the thugs in ObamaVille just were not that impressed with Michelle Obama's speech.
But then, it is also clear Michelle could not care even a little bit about violence in Chicago and other cities.  She only cares these kids are not fat when they are killed.

Is Michelle Obama This Damn Stupid????

This article from the Chicago tribune is just really sad and shows the absolute stupidity of Michelle Obama.
From the Tribune:
First Lady Michelle Obama returned to her hometown Thursday and decried the effects of gun violence on Chicago’s youth as she told a group of campaign donors to “write the biggest, fattest check that you can possibly write” to help Democrats make a better future for children.
Speaking to an estimated 150 people in the fifth-floor ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria Chicago in the Gold Coast at a Democratic National Committee event, the First Lady repeatedly urged donors to “dig deep.”
She said electing Democrats in the November mid-term elections would help the nation overcome what she called Republican “obstruction” to curbing climate change, raising the minimum wage, improving the infrastructure and protecting women’s reproductive rights as well as attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
“As parents, there is nothing we wouldn’t do for our children. Nothing. We always put kids’ interests first,” she said, speaking from a Teleprompter. “We deserve leaders across the country who are going to do the same.”
The First Lady noted that all children deserve a bright future of opportunity, but it was not happening in some Chicago neighborhoods.
“There are kids, like the kids here in Chicago who are confronting outrageous levels of violence: Kids who are losing their lives, day after day. Shootings that devastate our communities and break our hearts and rob this country of so much talent and promise. Those kids deserve so much better than this,” she said.
Acknowledging that “there’s too much money in politics” and that special interests “have too much influence,” she said President Barack Obama was still able to win election. Voters this fall, she said, must “be even more passionate and more hungry because these mid-term elections will be even more closer than the presidential elections.”
Donors paid from $500 per person to $20,000 per couple, and the First Lady asked them to give more.
“I kid you not. I’m going to be honest with you. That’s what we need you to do right now. We need you to write the biggest, fattest check that you can possibly write,” she said. “Writing those checks is the single most impactful thing you can do right now.”  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/chi-first-lady-michelle-obama-in-chicago-to-raise-money-for-dems-20140723,0,4895587.story
First, Obama decries the gun violence, so who does she tell this to?  The kids?  The gang bangers?  Nope, just to a bunch of campaign donors who couldn't care about the violence in Chicago/ObamaVille.  And she is at a 5 star hotel, on the Lake Michigan coast, far from the violent streets.
Then she says there's too much money in politics but then says the donors have to write big checks while her husband has spent the last several weeks raising money for the Democrats.
And, oh by the way, Michelle, which political has dominated the politics in Chicago for decades and created the violence culture?  Why, it is the Democrats.
Michelle, you are either retarded, a court jester, ignorant or just another political wife, like Hillary Clinton who will say anything, especially lying to the public.  I chose Door Number 3, just another political lying stooge.

Umm, Senile Harry Reid, Can You Answer This Please?

Senile/Liar/Coward Harry Reid just bought some property in Henderson, NV.
This is in addition to his hotel apartment at the Ritz Carlton, in Washington, D.C..
The property in Henderson is surrounded by a large concrete fence, at least 8 feet tall.
It is guarded 24/7 by armed guards.
The Ritz Carlton is guarded by security guards.
Reid is surrounded by his Senate security detail, which is heavily armed.
So, if this is good enough for Harry Reid, then why are not our borders are secure as Senile/Coward/Liar Reid's houses?
Just wondering.

Is It Scary To Fly Now

At the place I worked at, today I talked to a lady who is flying out of Las Vegas today and she is scared.
Why?
In the past few days, there have 3 major commercial airplane crashes in Ukraine, Taiwan and Mail.
One was shot out of the air and the other two crashes may have been caused by poor weather.
Last year in San Francisco, a Chinese airline crashed and burned, killing 3 people.  Before that, the last time a commercial airline crashed in the U.S. with a significant death toll was in February, 2009 in Buffalo, NY.  In 2013 there some crashes, but not with major airlines.
Then there was the Malaysian airplane that disappeared.
And in the past 2 weeks, 3 major crashes, killing hundreds of people.
Is it getting scary to fly? statistics say no, especially if you are flying out with a major airline from an major country.
But you really have to wonder.

Yeah, But They All Come To Vegas To vacation

The New York Daily News came up with the 50 most powerful in New York City sports.  http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/50-powerful-sports-figures-new-york-gallery-1.1877923
Yeah, whatever, most of them are stuck in NYC because of a job.
And most, if not all of these 50 most powerful people in NYC come to Las Vegas to party, relax, get a good meal etc.
And then they trudge back to NYC to go back to their jobs and wait a few weeks until they come back to Las Vegas to party, eat and have a good time.
So, which is the better city?

Liberals Getting Tired Of Obama?

From the san Fran Chronicle:
President Obama hit the Bay Area for a fast cash-and-grab fundraising drive Wednesday, but there were signs that even in one of the nation's most reliable Democratic ATMs, donor fatigue is setting in.
There was no listed price for tickets for Obama's morning appearance at a roundtable in San Francisco for the House Majority PAC - the type of intimate gathering for which admission is usually $32,400 per person, the legal maximum. Some donors said tickets had been offered for a deep discount.
And in Los Altos Hills, the heart of Silicon Valley big money, the president's appearance at the home of real estate mogul George Marcus drew an older crowd that was noteworthy for the absence of young angel investors, startup stars and tech leaders who have flocked to fundraisers Obama has held while paying 17 previous visits as president to the Bay Area.
Democratic donors who were invited to the San Francisco event, at the Four Seasons Hotel on Market Street, said they had initially been asked to donate as much as $25,000 to sit down with Obama. One who balked at the price said organizers had offered a cut-rate deal of as little as $5,000.
"Five-thousand dollars to sit down with the president for an hour? That's usually what it costs for a photo of you and your whole family" with Obama, said the invitee, who spoke on condition of anonymity.  http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Signs-of-donor-fatigue-at-Obama-s-Bay-Area-5642285.php
I don't think it is donor fatigue.  I think it is donor embarrassment as they don't want to be seen with this idiot.

Good

I have no problem with this.
From the Chicago Tribune: An Arizona inmate took almost two hours to die by lethal injection on Wednesday and his lawyers said he "gasped and snorted" before succumbing in the latest botched execution to raise questions about the death penalty in the United States.
The execution of convicted double murderer Joseph Wood began at 1:52 p.m. at a state prison complex, and the 55-year-old was pronounced dead just shy of two hours later at 3:49 p.m., the Arizona attorney general's office said.
During that time, his lawyers filed an unsuccessful emergency appeal to multiple federal courts that sought to have the execution halted and their client given life-saving medical treatment.
The appeal, which said the procedure violated his constitutional right to be executed without suffering cruel and unusual punishment, was denied by Justice Anthony Kennedy of the U.S. Supreme Court.
"He gasped and struggled to breathe for about an hour and 40 minutes," said one of Wood's attorneys, Dale Baich. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-lethal-injection-controversy-20140708,0,33517.htmlstory
So, if the guy was not conscious while he was snoring, the guy was not suffering.  Hell, my poor wife has to listen to me snore, that's probably cruel and unusual punishment.
And look what this thug did- he killed his ex-girlfriend and her father in his auto repair shop in cold blood.  He killed the father, after waiting for him to get off the phone and then shot the daughter.
Of course, you  wouldn't find this out by reading the Chicago Tribune as they are clearly anti-death penalty and their feelings got in the away of reporting the facts.
So, good bye you thug.  Even if you suffered during the execution, it is nothing tat you put the victims and their families through.

Pedo Martinez Update

Again, there has been an uproar in Nevada about the firing of Pedro Martinez who was the superintendent of the Washoe County School District and who was fired on Monday.
While the excuse given, the excuse given by Martinez, is that he was fired because he was not a Certified Public Accountant.  Well. I called bull crap on that because Martinez is not licensed to be anything in Nevada, at least education wise.  He is not licensed to be a school teacher or school administrator.
The lazy media in this State only talk to a couple of people and take their word as gospel instead of doing some actual research, which takes about 10 minutes online.
Here are the requirements to become an administrator in a school and school district, from the Nevada Dept. of Education: (http://teachers.nv.gov/Other_Licensed_Personnel_(K-12)/)

To receive an endorsement as an administrator of a school a person has two options:

Option One: 1. Hold a valid elementary, middle school/ junior high, secondary or special teaching license; and 2. Have completed three (3) years of teaching experience in accredited K-12 schools; and 3. Hold a master’s degree or higher in educational administration from a regionally accredited college or university with course work in each of the following areas: A. Administration and organization of a school B. Supervision of instruction C. Development of personnel D. Finances of a school E. The laws that apply to schools F. Curriculum G. Educational research H. Internship or field experience in school administration, or Option Two: 1. Hold a valid elementary, middle school/ junior high, secondary or special teaching license; and 2. Have completed three (3) years of teaching experience in accredited K-12 schools; and 3. Hold a master’s degree or higher and have completed 36 semester credits of graduate course work to include each of the following areas: A. Administration and organization of a school B. Supervision of instruction C. Development of personnel D. Finances of a school E. The laws that apply to schools F. Curriculum G. Educational research H. Internship or field experience in school administration Any remaining semester credits used to complete the 36 credits can be in any of the areas above or coursework considered to be part of an administrative program.

Martinez clearly doesn't meet these standards, especially since he never was a teacher in  classroom for 3 years.
I am sure that the Washoe County School District will pay for this firing, but the question is why they hired him in the first place?  Especially since he was employed by them just a few years earlier as an assistant superintendent. 
And he was employed by the Clark County School District as an administrator...why was he employed in CCSD without the qualifications?
The reason, of course, is that Martinez knows how to play the system and may have promised things that were lies or he failed to deliver the promises like getting a teaching/administrator license.

Washoe Schools Superintendent Doesn't have Teaching/Administrator License

Exclusive (meaning, I am the first one to figure this out)
Yesterday, it was reported that Pedro Martinez, former Superintendent of the Washoe County school District was fired because he supposedly wasn't a CPA (Certified Public Accountant).
From the Las Vegas Sun:  The Washoe County School District has removed superintendent Pedro Martinez from his job with little explanation in a move that surprised Reno city officials who embraced his hiring two years ago and is raising questions about whether school board trustees followed the state's open-meetings law.

Martinez's official status wasn't clear Wednesday after the district first said in statement he had been "relieved of his duties" effectively immediately, then clarified he was on paid administrative leave.

Martinez, who helped shepherd the district through a deadly schoolyard shooting and had taken a lead role in pushing tax increases to boost education spending, said he believes he was terminated unfairly in a dispute over his resume.
His lawyer, William Peterson, questioned Wednesday whether the board violated Nevada's open-meetings law when it reportedly decided at a public workshop on Tuesday to remove Martinez from his job.
Martinez said the board claimed he misrepresented his credentials as a certified public accountant, despite the fact he provided documentation proving he passed the CPA exam.  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2014/jul/23/fired-washoe-schools-superintendent-says-he-was-wr/?utm_source=mostpopular&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=mostRead
Martinez provided a copy of his CPA certificate which he got in 1992.
But the facts are these.  Martinez is not a current CPA and was never was a CPA in Nevada.
But this information is minor and it should have been resolved when he was hired.
Perhaps, a more import issue may be this.
When you look up the name Pedro Martinez under the Nevada Department Education web site, under teacher licensure, (http://nvteachersearch.doe.nv.gov/), his name is not listed in their database.  In other words, unless he used a different name, he is not licensed to teach or be a school superintendent in Nevada. (according to his contract, he uses the name, Pedro Martine and there is no Pedro Martinez listed)  If he uses another name, then let him correct it.  And he never has had any type of license since he came to Nevada.
So, this may be the reason why he was fired.

Laws Have Consequences

From the Baltimore Sun:
Beretta U.S.A., the American arm of the iconic Italian firearm maker, said Tuesday that it would move all of its U.S. manufacturing activities from Prince George's County to Tennessee in response to the gun control law the Maryland General Assembly passed last year.
Beretta, which has been making firearms in Maryland since 1977, employs about 160 workers at its Accokeek plant, according to board member Jeff Reh.
He said the company expects to begin moving its production lines from the facility in May, and to wind up its manufacturing in Maryland by the end of 2015.....
Reh pointed to provisions of O'Malley's Firearm Safety Act of 2013 as it passed the Senate, saying they could have interfered with the company's manufacturing, storage and shipment of Beretta products in Maryland.
While those provisions were removed by the House, he said the company remained concerned they could be revived in the futuBeretta U.S.A., the American arm of the iconic Italian firearm maker, said Tuesday that it would move all of its U.S. manufacturing activities from Prince George's County to Tennessee in response to the gun control law the Maryland General Assemblyre.

Sadly, liberals are so damn stupid that they believe that when they pass or even consider changing laws, like increasing, raising taxes or raising the minimum wage, they believe these laws will only help people and have no down side, like people losing their jobs.
This is just another example of liberal stupidity.

OK, I Admit, I Am The Cause Of Global Warming

This past weekend, at the local hotdog stand, the WeinerSchnitzel, they had a sale on hot dogs- 61 cents apiece for a chili, Kraut and mustard hotdog.
Our family bought 30 of the dogs-chili and Sauerkraut dogs.
Since Monday morning, my tummy has been a rumbling.
And my backside has been a tooting.
And now, the temperature in Las Vegas went up about 5 degrees since then.
I admit, I am the cause.
Our house is like this scene from Blazing Saddles:

Yeah, I say we had enough.

Even In Liberal San Francisco, Obama Gets Blasted

From the San Fran Chronicle: Both President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton are in the Bay Area Wednesday, but don't expect the two most prominent Democrats in the country to cross paths on their separate trips - where she's getting the buzz, and he's getting the blowback.
Clinton, who is considering a 2016 White House bid, has made headlines with a jam-packed Bay Area schedule this week, ranging from stops at social media kings Google, Facebook and Twitter on Monday to her planned appearance Wednesday at a children's education event in Oakland.
Meanwhile, Obama's 18th visit to the Bay Area as president - an in-and-out fundraising stop - is handing GOP opponents an opportunity to needle him for hitting up wealthy donors for contributions at a time of international crises.
Even some loyal partisans say they're scratching their heads about the president's strategy.
"It defies every principle," Garry South, former adviser to Gov. Gray Davis and a Democratic consultant, said of Obama's pure-fundraising itinerary. "Official activities should always drive the schedule."  http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Obama-s-Bay-Area-fundraising-trip-brings-flak-5639663.php
There is a time to act presidential and a time to fund raise and Obama and his staff are not smart enough to figure out that it looks bad to go and play when things are crumbing around him.
George Bush knew it.  After 9/11, he stopped playing golf.  Yes, it was symbolic, but he new it looked bad.
No one in the White House has told Obama that it looks bad to fund raise and go golfing when the world is crumbling.
