yellojktHow We Ruined the Occupy Wall Street Generation. Wait, why is it always our fault? Can’t these people be responsible for anything in their own lives?
Apparently not. Mostly Peaceful Stabbing at Occupy Baltimore.
Mmm. Anybody else hankering for a six-pack of Pepsi Ice Cucumber?
The US will start considering a country’s treatment of homosexuals when passing out the foreign aid. I imagine that this is going to impact a lot of the countries we send money to. No more cash for you, Pakistan!
Also from HuffPo: Mugger tries to mug Ultimate Fighting Champion, later regrets choice of victim.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Anthony Miranda approached a parked vehicle near 55th Street and Kenneth Avenue Friday night and asked the driver for a lighter before pointing a handgun at the man and demanding money. After the driver handed over some cash, Miranda reportedly ordered him out of the car — which was apparently a mistake.
… Miranda was taken to Holy Cross Hospital with a “face full of lacerations,” two black eyes and a gunshot wound.
Apparently, in a struggle for the weapon, he ended up shooting himself in the ankle. Kids, stealing is wrong. For more reasons than one.
Is strip searching senior citizens really adding anything to our security?
According to Fox News, the Muppets are a communist plot. I just saw The Muppets the other day, and it was totally awesome. One of the best Muppet movies since the original.
More from Media Matters. Rush Limbaugh (using common sense) says that Fox isn’t part of “a conservative movement”. All I know is, they don’t like Obama, and they don’t like Ron Paul, so I’m not sure who’s left.
How Ghost Busters should have ended.

Add strip searching the disabled to strip searching the elderly. All this is legal, btw. See the 1973 9th Circuit ruling on U.S. vs Davis. Airport screenings are considered administrative, not criminal, procedures and are given special consideration in this ruling.The airports lack technology to non-invasively search those with certain types of implants or the non-ambulatory. TSA personnel are permitted to search pretty much in any way they see fit under those circumstances. While a blatant violation of the ADA, which mandates 'equivalent' procedures and processes, public safety is deemed more important than a disabled citizen's individual rights.

Hi all,Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be hit and miss for the rest of the year. Too many of life's complications going on right now to participate regularly. I didn't want anyone to think I'd given up on ATiM or anything. Have fun and I'll try to check in when I have the opportunity.

I really dislike the concept of an administrative search. It lends itself to mission creep. And TSA's Pistole is a former FBI. he's not content to be in charge of looking through bags. What if the TSA finds drugs? They are no threat to the plane and TSA is not law enforcement. There was that story a year or so ago of the TSA agent detaining a women because she had a number of checks and that's evidence of something. I also think a plane hijacking is an obsolete tactic. It's the bayonet charge of the terrorist handbook.

NoVAH, some would argue that it is obsolete in part b/c of the prophylactic effect of scrutiny.**********************WaPo headline:Gingrich fighting massive debt racked up in campaign’s extravagant early daysIt seems to me that D operatives would quietly fund raise to help out poor ole Newt so that he could continue his valiant struggle against WMR until the very end.There are ways Ds can do this without being caught out, as I am sure you know. If you don't, then I can advise.:-)

"some would argue that it is obsolete in part b/c of the prophylactic effect of scrutiny."Granted, but I disagree. I think locked cockpits doors and passengers willing to fight back are more effective. successful hijackings require passenger compliance and I think those days are gone.

I tend to agree with you about hijacking, per se. As to smuggling bombs on planes, I know we have missed some, but do we actually know if we have intercepted any?

And Air Marshals are good for hijack prevention, too.

Mark: It seems to me that D operatives would quietly fund raise to help out poor ole Newt so that he could continue his valiant struggle against WMR until the very end.I don't think that would be smart. Newt's debate performances have made it clear that, baggage aside, at least one of Newt's personalities is a shrewd and competent politician. And what if that Newt was the only one that showed up between now and election day, and megalomaniacal, let-them-eat-cake King Newt only showed up after election day? I think Romney has a lot of weaknesses in the current environment. If I were the Obama people, I'd rather run against Romney than risk running against Newt, who might be in the midst of an extended manic episode. The depressive part to show up after election day. 😉
