Boston: Beehive of Terrorist Activity (?)

March 9, 2007March 24, 2008 John Bomb Squads, Bombs, Boston, Comedy Network, MA, Public Officials, Stupidity, Terrorism, Traffic counters

On January 31, Boston and Massachusetts officials terrorized that city and made asses of themselves in the national news. And they extorted $2 million and almost ruined two people’s lives over a cartoon character they intentionally mischaracterized as a threat. Apparently trying to repeat their performance, they sent the bomb squad out again Wednesday to blow up another “suspicious device” in Boston’s financial district. Only this time, the plan to extort some other hapless company backfired in their faces.

Bomb or Tape Dispenser?

March 7, 2007 John Bomb, Police, Security

Police these days are seeing bombs everywhere, even though there really aren’t any actual bombs. It’s clear that they need help.

Fighting Gays and Abortion More Important Than Saving the World

March 7, 2007March 24, 2008 John abortion, hatred, homophobia, Homosexuality, Krazy Kristian Kooks, Lobbying, National Association of Evangelicals, Ted Hagard

You heard right. Apparently conversative Christian leaders are mad at the Government Affairs guy for the National Association of Evangelicals (yep, the one Ted Haggard used to head). They seem to think fighting against equal rights for gay people and opposing abortion are more important than saving the world from blowing itself up.

The Dumbest Educators

February 24, 2007March 24, 2008 John Crack, Drug Use, Kentucky, Marijuana, Murray, Principal, Van Bueren Middle School

I have the greatest respect for educators in general, and believe they are generally under-valued in our society. BUT, apparently, as in every other field, a few idiots manage to gain entry.

Ted Haggard Cured in Three Weeks

February 7, 2007 John Colorado Springs, Denver Post, Heterosexual, New Life Church, Ted Haggard

This just in from the Denver Post. Ted Haggard is not gay! Haggard, who is apparently ready to jet off to Iowa or Missouri to become a psychologist, told a four-member oversight board that after three weeks of intense counseling he is now “completely heterosexual” and that “his sexual contact with men was limited to his accuser” according to one of the pastors on that board. Amazing. And James Dobson said it would take 4 or 5 years!
