There Can Be Only One!
Michigan cops are still trying to figure out this asshat who .... well .... went medieval on them (link goes to The Smoking Gun by way of Fark) ....
Crusader Nabbed By Michigan Cops
Medieval sword, mallet, armor no match for ye olde Taser
AUGUST 5—Meet Robert McClain. The Michigan man, 42, was arrested last week after he attempted to literally go medieval on cops. According to the Royal Oak Police Department report, officers were dispatched to McClain’s home after a motorist called 911 to report that McClain had fled the scene of an auto accident. When they arrived at his crib, McClain allegedly tried to strike a cop with a four-foot sword.
After missing, McClain retreated to his basement, where he donned a chainmail armored vest and leather gauntlets to protect his arms. He also added a giant wooden mallet to his arsenal and beckoned officers to come downstairs and get him. “I’m gonna crush your fucking skulls,” McClain warned. Then, in a nice rhetorical flourish (for a lunatic, at least), he added, “I have a thousand years of power.”
That omnipotence, however, was no match for a police Taser, which felled McClain. He was then carted off and charged with felony assault and a misdemeanor count for failing to remain at an accident scene.

From the “Where Are They Now” department our crack staff has uncovered the whereabouts of Jennnifer Wilbanks, the so-called “Runaway Bride”. She is mowing the lawn at the courthouse and washing police cars ....
Wearing an orange community service vest, a ballcap that said “Life is good” and running shoes, Wilbanks seemed upbeat as she pushed a powered mower by a swarm of reporters and photographers. She briefly spoke when the mower’s engine died in tall, wet grass.
“I’m doing well,” said Wilbanks, who has been undergoing mental health treatment. She admitted with a laugh that it had been a long time since she had mowed a lawn.
“I need to get back to work. I don’t want to get into trouble,” she added.
Her lawn mower then kept dying in the grass, each time prompting her to repeatedly yank on the pull string to restart it. After the eighth time it quit, she let out a big sigh.
In all, she was ordered to do 120 hours of service. Wilbanks had already completed 16 hours of her sentence by cleaning probation offices and washing public vehicles. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Peggy Chapman said Wilbanks planned to work off eight more hours Tuesday, also picking up trash.
“She’s a hard worker. She didn’t take advantage of anything. She did more work than most people,” said 17-year-old Michael Powell, who has cleaned bathrooms and offices with Wilbanks while working off his own sentence of 80 hours of community service for an offense he declined to disclose.

Permalink • Another Death In The Iraq War
Sadly, we have to report another death in the Iraq war. Oddly enough this one ocurred in Kentucky. Two gun vendors at a flea market got into an argument over the Iraq war, both pulled guns and the man who backed the war got off the first shot ....
It was bound to happen sooner or later, and in what newspapers in Kentucky are calling a first, one American has killed another in a dispute over the Iraq war. It happened at Floyd County flea market on Thursday, when two friends, who were firearms vendors there, drew guns after quarreling about the war. Douglas Moore, 65, of Martin, who backs the war, shot and killed Harold Wayne Smith, 56, of Manchester, who opposed it, according to investigators.
Moore was released without being charged after he convinced police he had acted in self-defense. A grand jury may yet hear evidence in the case. Commonwealth’s Attorney Brent Turner said the episode might mark the first death in the U.S. due to a dispute over the war.
One witness, Sam Hamman of Prestonsburg, told the Lexington Herald-Leader, “Harold was talking about the 14 people that were killed in Iraq the other day and Doug said that just as many people were killed on the highways here.”
This quickly escalated into an argument, then to a scuffle, and finally both men drew pistols outside a snack shed. The dead man was apparently just a little slower in firing. Witnesses said he stood for about five seconds before toppling on the walkway.

More Prisoner Abuse In The News
Question: what do the two quotes below have in common? Answer: absolutely nothing.
Amendment VIII
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP)—Five straight turkey dinners prompted El Paso County jail inmates to go on a brief hunger strike. The inmates refused to eat Saturday, arguing that meals such as turkey chili mac, turkey a la king, turkey stew and turkey sausage were unnecessarily cruel.
Sheriff’s officials said Wednesday that the hunger strike ended after about half an hour.
“Turkey, turkey and more turkey is not a form of punishment,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a tongue-in-cheek prepared statement. “The inmates accepted this reasoning and gobbled up their dinner meal.”
The inmates had spaghetti for dinner Wednesday — with turkey-based meat sauce.

Most Ridiculous Item Of The Day
How stupid can people get? After reading the story below, I had to re-adjust my stupidity meter. There needs to be a “stupid index” to rate these clowns. If so, the two people in this news story would rank somewhere off the far bottom of the scale. If you’re inclined to ask “what were they thinking”, don’t bother. My impression is neither the mother or the daughter were thinking at all. Just sit back and enjoy the entertainment ....
Daughter Caught Making Meth To Bail Out Mother:
Mother Was Police Officer Facing Pot Charges
LINCOLN, Ill. (AP)—There is a bizarre twist in the case of a former Lincoln, Illinois police officer facing marijuana possession charges. Her 24-year-old daughter has been charged with trying to make methamphetamine to raise bail for her mother.
Authorities say Brianna Strohl’s mother, Diana Short, asked her daughter to collect materials to make methamphetamine because Short needed to post another $7,500 to get out of jail. Authorities were tipped onto the plot by Logan County Jail inmates.
Short, who had been a Lincoln police officer until her arrest, previously was accused of growing marijuana plants in her basement.
Strohl and Short both were charged yesterday with several felony counts related to making methamphetamine. Short now needs $25,000 to get out of jail, and Strohl is being held in lieu of ten-thousand dollars bond.

Weekly Moonbat Top-Ten List
This week’s Top-Ten List concerns one of our favorite criminals .. O.J. Simpson. The dude just never learns. In case you haven’t been keeping up with current events, O.J. was caught with electronic equipment in his home that allowed him to tap into Direct TV’s satellite signals and get free premium movies, etc. He was found guilty and ordered to pay a $25,000 fine. Of course, his mouthpiece said he was innocent, “IF THE REMOTE DON’T FIT YOU MUST ACQUIT!” - The judge disagreed ....
(CHICAGO TRIBUNE - July 27, 2005)—DirecTV said “the evidence was overwhelming” against O.J. Simpson. But the ex-football star’s lawyer said he did nothing wrong. The satellite TV giant on Tuesday was referring to its civil court victory in which a Florida judge ordered Simpson to pay $25,000 for allegedly stealing its signals. The case stems from the recovery in 2001 of two “bootloaders” in Simpson’s home that allowed viewers to tap into DirecTV signals without paying for them.
Simpson’s lawyer, Yale Galanter, said his client would appeal the judge’s ruling. “There is no evidence that he knew or should have known” that the devices in his home were illegal, he said. According to news reports in 2001, federal agents were at Simpson’s home on a six-hour raid related to an investigation of an Ecstasy drug ring, money laundering and the counterfeiting of satellite equipment. Simpson was not arrested.
And now for this week’s Top Ten List:
Top Ten O.J. Simpson Excuses For Stealing Direct TV
10. For some reason, cable guy is afraid to come to the house
9. Spends a lot of time watching television now that it’s too hot to go out and kill people
8. Wanted to see where he ranked on Court TV’s 100 Creepiest Acquitted Murderers
7. Figured “real killers” might show up on one of them great premium movie channels
6. It was a rare lapse in judgement
5. Believe it or not, he’s had a bit of trouble landing a job
4. “Hey, any publicity is good publicity, am I right?”
3. Cable’s been out since he stabbed his television
2. Since when is stealing against the law?!
1. It’s not like he killed anyone

Most Ridiculous Item Of The Day
And here I thought ignorant, anti-war protestors were mostly young smelly hippies from Berkeley. Evidently, I was wrong. It appears insanity reaches out to all ages in this day and age. Now we have the ”Raging Grannies” attempting to enlist in the armed forces and possibly going to jail when they were refused ....
“We’re very serious about that, we really want to enlist,” 74-year-old “Raging Granny” Betty Schroeder told AFP. “We think it would be better if old people were killed at war than young ones,” the retired nurse, whose husband and two brothers were killed in battle in other wars, explained.
Eight “grannies,” including Schroeder, are accused of invading military territory by entering a military recruiting office in the city of Tucson on July 13 to sign up. Military officials asked them to leave and called police who issued charges against five of the grannies after they had left the office. They are charged with trespassing, which could see them jailed for up to five months.
The five appeared in court in Tucson on Monday where they pleaded not guilty to the offence and the judge scheduled a preliminary hearing for August 19, according to Schroeder. “Criminal trespass is a misdemeanour,” she said. “I think we might be sentenced to five months in prison or a 500 dollar fine,” she told AFP by telephone from Tucson.
The “Ranging Grannies,” formed by members of the Tucson branch of the Womens International League for Peace and Freedom, meet every Wednesday and sing songs set to familiar tunes that protest the US military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. The maximum age for enlistment in the US Army is 34, while reservists can join up until the age of 39.

Mad As Hell
This is it! I’ve had it with this beeyatch. Once was enough but not again. NO, DAMMIT! I mean it! Jane Fonda is starting a cross-country tour on a frikkin’ bus that runs on vegetable oil to protest the Iraq war. NO! DAMMIT! Please, Dear God! Stop this madwoman!
“I can’t go into any detail except to say that it’s going to be pretty exciting,” she said. Fonda said her anti-war tour in March will use a bus that runs on “vegetable oil.” She will be joined by families of Iraq war veterans and her daughter.
They plan to return to the Santa Fe area, where she was promoting her book, “My Life So Far” on Saturday. Prompted by a question from the audience, Fonda said war veterans that she has met on a nationwide book tour have encouraged her to break her silence on the Iraq war.
“I’ve decided I’m coming out,” she said. Hundreds of people in the audience cheered loudly when Fonda announced her intentions to join the anti-Iraq war movement. “I have not taken a stand on any war since Vietnam,” she said. “I carry a lot of baggage from that.”
Fonda incited controversy in July 1972 when she was photographed sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun while on a tour of the country to drum up support to end the war.

Ahhh, good news at last. Russia shows us how to take care of internet terrorists .... spammers, that is. GO, RUSSKIS!
Kushnir, 35, headed the English learning centers the Center for American English, the New York English Centre and the Centre for Spoken English, all known to have aggressive Internet advertising policies in which millions of e-mails were sent every day.
In the past angry Internet users have targeted the American English centre by publishing the Center’s telephone numbers anywhere on the Web to provoke telephone calls. The Center’s telephone was advertised as a contact number for cheap sex services, or bargain real estate sales.
Another attack involved hundreds of people making phone calls to the American English Center and sending it numerous e-mails back, but Vardan Kushnir remained sure of his right to spam, saying it was what e-mails were for.
Under Russian law, spamming is not considered illegal, although lawmakers are working on legal projects that could protect Russian Internet users like they do in Europe and the U.S.

LONDON, England (CNN)—The family of a Brazilian man shot dead by armed police officers at a London subway station say they are considering legal action. Jean Charles de Menezes, a 27-year-old electrician, was killed in the aftermath of last Thursday’s attempted bombings of the London transit system. However police said on Saturday Menezes “was not connected” with the attacks.
Asked if his family was taking legal action, Menezes’ cousin Alex Alves Pereira said the police had to pay for the mistake.
“They have to pay for that in many ways, because if they do not, they are going to kill many people, they are going to kill thousands of people,” Pereira told BBC television. “They just kill the first person they see, that’s what they did.”
“They killed him because they had to show off. If they were so afraid of a bomb why did they let him get on the bus?”
Pereira said his family was upset and angry over the death, and he challenged police statements that Menezes failed to obey orders, and jumped a ticket barrier. He added that no amount of apologizing by police would bring his cousin back.
“When you do something wrong, you can’t have nothing to say—to say sorry is not enough.”
On Sunday Metropolitan Police Commissioner said he regretted Menezes’ death but defended the policy of shooting to kill suspected suicide bombers and warned that more people could be shot.
“To the family, I can only offer our deepest regrets,” Metropolitan Police Commissioner Ian Blair told Sky television. “I think we are quite comfortable that the policy is right, but of course these are fantastically difficult times. “It’s still happening out there, there are still officers having to make those calls as we speak,” he said, adding: “Somebody else could be shot.”

Canadians Have Gone PC Insane
Our neighbors to the North have gone completely, insanely, madly, Barking-Moonbat CRAZY!
Montreal - Canadian Miss Universe Natalie Glebova was forced to take off her official sash at a local festival celebrating Thailand when Toronto authorities invoked a law against sexual stereotyping.
The winner of the international beauty competition held in Bangkok in May, Glebova was to open the festival last weekend sporting her official beauty queen’s regalia.
However, city employees invoked a regulation against activities which degrade men and women through sexual stereotypes or exploit their bodies to attract attention.
Bowing to the local law, the 23 year old blue-eyed brunette was made to remove her “Miss Universe” sash, though not without complaint.
“I definitely don’t think that the Miss Universe title is any kind of stereotype or sexual stereotype,” said Russian-born Glebova, a graduate of Toronto’s Ryerson University.
Officials of the Miss Universe organisation were also unhappy.
“It’s a strict reading of the by-laws,” Paula Shugart, president of the organisation, said.
“According to those conditions, a beauty contest cannot even be held in Toronto”, Shugart said.
The Mayor of Toronto later apologized ....
Toronto Mayor David Miller has issued an apology to Miss Universe after the city barred her from opening a festival on municipal property over concerns about sexual stereotyping.
“It’s unfortunate and silly,” said Miller. “It won’t happen again.”
Natalie Glebova was set to open a festival last weekend at Nathan Phillips Square in front of City Hall, but municipal officials told organizers that the recently crowned Torontonian couldn’t perform that duty if she wore her sash or her tiara, or if she was introduced by her title.
They said beauty pageants and beauty queens were banned from the square by a bylaw that prohibits activities deemed to be degrading to men or women through sexual stereotyping.
Miller said it was all a mistake and an overreaction on someone’s part.
“[It’s] certainly not the way I read the bylaw,” he said. “I don’t think it’s appropriate. She should have been allowed to come to City Hall.”

Minutemen In San Diego
Our buddy Joe, down in New Zealand (formerly of San Diego) is all over a bunch of asshat leftists in San Diego who are angry that the Minutemen are coming to their town. Hell, it seems the ACLU was even there to “observe”. Joe has it covered with plenty of pictures and commentary ....
(BOHEMIAN CONSERVATIVE BLOG)—It’s the same old story, only in a new place. The Minuteman Project arrived in my former hometown of San Diego this past weekend, and the nut-job protestors from the mentally deranged, illigitimate Left were out in force. The seditious agitators, many carrying the banners of SocialistWorker.org and the anarchist flag, turned out in droves at the Campo VFW (private property, btw) where the Minutemen were having a BBQ social while, according to my insider present at the event, there were only 2 sherrif’s deputies present initially (you’ll notice that the media thought there were enough law enforcement present, but that was only after the protestors had been trespassing for quite a while.) Local TV news was present, but no coverage was shown on TV, according to my source. And, despite the title of the news story cited, “Border Watch and Protest Peaceful,” it would have been more accurate if the term “non-violent” was used instead of “peaceful.” According to my source, it was anything but peaceful, at least on behalf of the illigitimi from the Left.

Liberal bloggers + Roberts nomination = massive implosion of stupidity. Einstein couldn’t have put it better in this case ....
(WASHINGTON POST - 21 JULY)—At 1:27 a.m. yesterday, the Guerilla Women of Tennessee weighed in on President Bush’s Supreme Court nominee. “John Roberts: Married to Anti-Choice Org VP,” the group’s Web site blared. Another site, A Liberal Dose, asked: “Why does John G. Roberts Hate Our Soldiers?”
And Feministing.com made no attempt at subtlety: “Why John Roberts Sucks.”
The lightning-quick attacks came after 50 top liberal bloggers held a 45-minute conference call Tuesday night. “On the left, we’ve always talked about the need to have an echo chamber,” says John Aravosis, a Washington lawyer and gay rights activist who writes at Americablog.com. “We believe the right has a whole media network, from talk radio to Fox News to Matt Drudge. The left doesn’t have that because the left doesn’t play well with others.”
The conference call was arranged by BlogPAC, a political action committee that got some of its members on the phone with Sen. Ted Kennedy on the day that Sandra Day O’Connor announced she was leaving the court. The group has also held calls with Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.), Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.) and the liberal organizations involved in the nomination battle, including MoveOn, Alliance for Justice, NARAL and People for the American Way.
Kennedy “reached out to them directly to convey the impact that this decision will have on hundreds of millions of Americans, whose last line of defense for their freedoms and liberties is the Supreme Court,” says Laura Capps, the senator’s spokeswoman.
The purpose of Tuesday night’s call was “to agree on where we want to work as a swarm and divide that from where we want to work individually,” says Bob Brigham, a San Francisco political activist who runs BlogPAC. (Its founders include Aravosis and Markos Moulitsas, who runs the popular site Daily Kos.) A swarm, in online lingo, is when legions of bloggers jump on the same issue, as when conservative Web sites attacked Dan Rather’s CBS report on President Bush’s National Guard record.
“We dumped a ton of opposition research on Roberts” after the call, Brigham says. The bloggers also agreed during that discussion to keep hammering on Karl Rove and the CIA leak story.
The Liberal Dose site (which featured a doctored photo of Roberts making an obscene gesture) pointed to a 2004 ruling joined by Judge Roberts that threw out an award of nearly $1 billion to 17 Americans who said they were abused while imprisoned in Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War.
Aravosis, who helped expose the X-rated past of conservative White House reporter Jeff Gannon, wasted little time. He wrote Tuesday night that Roberts “sounds like a partisan hack” and posted statements from Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, Planned Parenthood, NARAL, the Human Rights Campaign and People for the American Way.
But Aravosis sees no prospect of his blogging colleagues sticking to a set of talking points. “It’s like herding cats,” he says. “You can get 40 cats in a room, but you can’t herd them.”
