• Video: Jon Stewart rips Obama for confirming conservative ‘conspiracy theories’

  May 15, 2013 at 11:38pm

  Jon, allow me to explain:

  Some people in the world have a poor sense of smell. Some people in the world have a highly sensitive sense of smell. People with a highly sensitive sense of smell can smell food that’s just started to turn, whereas people with a poor sense of smell have to wait until the food is truly rotten before they can smell that it is so.

  You, sir, have a poorly developed sense of smell. Those of us who could smell the stench coming from the Obama administration and our government gave out a warning. We didn’t think that just because you voted for those people, you should actually have to eat the rotten food they were selling, so we tried and tried to warn you. Now that you can truly smell the rot and it’s a big pile of goo in the bottom of the fridge, it’s your turn to clean it out..

• Epic Fail: NYPD Officer Tries to Rescue Stray Cat From a Tree — and This Is What Happens

  In reply to quovadis.

  I agree. I also have to wonder about the school, however. The janitorial staff at our local schools all have ladders on the premises. Why couldn’t the school provide a ladder? Why did the fire department have to come out? Weird.

• The Viral Email Sent by a Marine General in 2003 on the Importance of Reading

  In reply to ByDawnsEarlyLight.

  It would be nice if our politicians followed this general’s advice. How awesome would it be if they actually read every bill before they voted on it? It seems like a small thing to ask from our government before they sign a bill into law.

• Dallas Cops Take an Hour to Respond to Armed Robbery — and Wait Until You Hear the Reason Why

  In reply to GuruMeditation.

  He was not easy to understand because he was clearly in a panic. Yes, he had an accent, but if she had asked for clarification or asked him to take some deep breaths and calm down and say it again, she’d have understood him. I understood “robbery,” and when she asked if they were there he said “yes,” which should have been enough to trigger a quick response anyway.

• The Amazing Moment Boston Double Amputee Jeff Bauman Received a Hero’s Welcome at Bruins Game

  In reply to KEA.

  Not only did he identify the person who did it, he was trying to let everyone know who the guy was from the moment he came out of the anesthesia from his surgery. He immediately started gesturing, wanting to let everyone know what he knew. He was key in helping to track down the bombers. He was more than just a victim.

• ‘I’m Going to Grab Your Baby, and Don’t Resist’: Cops Barge Into Calif. Parents’ Home, Take Their Baby After They Seek 2nd Medical Opinion — And It’s on Video

  April 29, 2013 at 8:46pm

  When I was a kid I had a chronic illness.

  One of the medications I was placed on was discovered to be habit-forming, so the doctor tried to call our house to tell my mother to stop giving it to me immediately.

  We were not home and apparently our answering machine was not working or hooked up or something, so the doctor decided to call the police and ask them to drive by our house and give us the message, saying it was urgent we received it.

  When the officer arrived, we still were not at home. Instead of leaving a notice on our door, he took it upon himself to enter our house and have a look around before leaving a notice on our door.

  When we arrived home, our front door was ajar. The neighbors told us what had happened. My mother could not believe that the doctor called the police and that the officer let himself in and walked around our home and left, leaving the front door open to the whole world.

  And now we have this story. It seems to me that CPS is either completely negligent and does nothing despite multiple reports of abuse until a child dies, OR completely over-reacts and does what they did in this story and in the story of the NJ family with the guns legally in their home.

• Former DOJ Attorney Says Gov’t Is Making a Mistake Not Reading Boston Suspect His Miranda Rights — What You Need to Know

  April 20, 2013 at 2:29pm

  The way I see this is: He is either declared an “enemy combatant” and thus does not need his Miranda rights read as he should be shipped to Gitmo immediately, OR he is not declared an “enemy combatant” in which case everyone involved in the process is subject to due process and he must have his Miranda rights read to him.

  The “public safety exception” applied very narrowly–as in the police officer in questioning the suspect in 1980 left off the reading of the Miranda rights because there was a clear and present public safety issue that had to be dealt with first. That’s a very specific, narrow window, not a wide open, indeterminate window that can last as long as the government decides it wants it to.

  The government is probably arguing that there is still a public danger because we don’t know if they were acting alone. But do they really want to use this particular case to argue that point? They’re risking him getting off on a technicality in a future court of law. And they’re jeopardizing the 4th amendment at the same time, depending on how a future court ruled.

  I’m personally of the opinion that since they gave the guy citizenship back in September they need to Mirandize him. They could have held his brother as an enemy combatant, as he was not a citizen. But if they are going to hold this kid without Mirandizing him, then they need to officially declare him an enemy combatant.

• Man Begs Passing Motorists for Help as His Wife and 8-Month-Old Daughter Lay Dead in the Street — But ‘No One Stopped to Help’

  April 16, 2013 at 11:19pm

  It’s my understanding that this is not entirely unusual in India.

  Some friends of mine went to India to live for a couple of years. They got off the plane and hailed a taxi to get to their destination. Not long into the drive the driver ran over a child. My friends begged the driver to stop so that they could see if the child was injured, what they could do to help, etc. etc. The taxi driver just shrugged and kept driving.

  They were told by their hosts that they were not surprised that the cab didn’t stop, and that many children of the lower classes were seen as expendable. This article doesn’t mention the class of the family, but perhaps that also played a role here?

• Sandy Hook Victim’s Mother to Deliver Obama’s Weekly Address

  April 12, 2013 at 2:27pm

  “Nobody has a more important and powerful perspective on the issue than the families who have lost loved ones,” Carney said.

  Really? Then I suppose you’re going to turn over Obama’s weekly radio address to the parents of children in Sandy Hook who are opposed to your gun control measures? You believe their perspective is just as important and powerful, right?

  Or how about you turn that microphone over to someone who was able to save the lives of their children with a gun like that woman in Georgia who shot the guy who invaded her home? Her perspective is just as important and powerful on the issue of guns and gun control, wouldn’t you say?

• Egyptian Activist: Women’s Rights Better Under Mubarak Than Muslim Brotherhood

  Huh. Who could’ve seen that coming?

  I mean besides most Americans on the right?
