Not Photoshopped: Beam of Light Shines on Fallen Soldier’s Miracle Dog
Reported by ABC News’ Kimberly Launier:
It was an overcast day in Newport, N.H., when a simple “20/20″ shoot turned into something that made me wonder about life after death.
I was filming soldier Justin Rollin’s parents Skip and Rhonda playing with their dog Hero, whose rescue from the Iraq War zone where Justin died was nothing short of a miracle.
Sometimes when Rhonda hugged Hero she would softly pet her face and coo, “Justin, are you in there?” It was Rhonda’s gentle way of remembering their son and his last living connection to Hero. At one point, Hero wandered off and took a stroll in the backyard. All of a sudden, the clouds broke and a light began to solidify in a beam directly down on Hero — a kind of vertical halo.
As this dramatic ray of light was shining on Hero she turned to look at me, and it was all I could do to hold the camera steady and not drop it in astonishment. It was an unforgettable moment, and made me wonder if in fact Justin was in there. Then the light vanished.
I couldn’t wait to check my camera’s playback to see if it caught the stunning beam. When I saw that it did, I was so happy that I burst out dancing. It was a great moment to share with Justin’s parents. We all laughed together, and wondered if perhaps this had been a sign from Justin.

Halil, my Infidel ass.....
Forgive me for having my head up my ass but tonight I went to Pamela Geller's Atlas Shrugged and saw that Butterball Turkeys are halil slaughtered.
Sonofabitch, that's what I got ready to go in the smoker at midnight. No fucking way in hell am I going to be able to find a thawed 20 pound bird this time of the night and I promised Mom a smoked turkey.
Oh well, what to do but defile it.
Lisa slathered bacon grease all over that motherfucker, inside and out, both of us laughing our Okie asses off the entire time.

Concerning the "assasination" attempt at the Black House:
TPaine said...
I would agree with the poster who suggested that this was a 'false flag' event. This guy was a moron who didn't have the brains to wipe his ass, yet he got close enough to the White House with an AK-47 to put many rounds into the structure. Ak's aren't exactly quiet little guns, and someone who fires 5-10 rounds from one within striking distance of the White House will be noticed.
The White House is guarded by snipers and other SS staff. You can bet that Obama is very well-protected, as he is a very high target. There is probably shot-tracing hardware installed all over the place, so if the guy fired one round, they'd know where it came from and how far away it was before the 2nd round was sent downrange. And as the government is spending billions on security, the technology would have caught this guy before he set off round 3.
Then he gets away and travels halfway across the nation before he is finally caught? I'm not believing one iota of this scam. Fast & Furious is failing majestically, and so we need a new gun freak incident to raise the alarm. "Crazy guy sprays White House with dangerous assault rifle!" Neat, eh?

Worthless yet expensive
NEW YORK (AP) — During the first two months of the nationwide Occupy protests, the movement that is demanding more out of the wealthiest Americans cost local taxpayers at least $13 million in police overtime and other municipal services, according to a survey by The Associated Press.
The heaviest financial burden has fallen upon law enforcement agencies tasked with monitoring marches and evicting protesters from outdoor camps. And the steepest costs by far piled up in New York City and Oakland, Calif., where police clashed with protesters on several occasions.
The AP gathered figures from government agencies in 18 cities with active protests and focused on costs through Nov. 15, the day protesters were evicted from New York City's Zuccotti Park, where the protests began Sept. 17 before spreading nationwide. The survey did not attempt to tally the price of all protests but provides a glimpse into costs to cities large and small.

And it can only get worse
License plate readers: A useful tool for police comes with privacy concerns
By Allison Klein and Josh White,
An armed robber burst into a Northeast Washington market, scuffled with the cashier, and then shot him and the clerk’s father, who also owned the store. The killer sped off in a silver Pontiac, but a witness was able to write down the license plate number.Police figured out the name of the suspect very quickly. But locating and arresting him took a little-known investigative tool: a vast system that tracks the comings and goings of anyone driving around the District.
Scores of cameras across the city capture 1,800 images a minute and download the information into a rapidly expanding archive that can pinpoint people’s movements all over town.
Police entered the suspect’s license plate number into that database and learned that the Pontiac was on a street in Southeast. Police soon arrested Christian Taylor, who had been staying at a friend’s home, and charged him with two counts of first-degree murder. His trial is set for January.
More than 250 cameras in the District and its suburbs scan license plates in real time, helping police pinpoint stolen cars and fleeing killers. But the program quietly has expanded beyond what anyone had imagined even a few years ago.
With virtually no public debate, police agencies have begun storing the information from the cameras, building databases that document the travels of millions of vehicles.

Go ahead. Try and take it.
CharlieGodammit with his pacifier
Actually I had just given him his rawhide bone. Motherfucker has to sit before he gets anything from me for no other reason than to keep him from knocking me down and taking it by force. He loves those damned things to the tune of about 10 or 12 a week. Thank God for the Dollar Store.
Depending on the quality of it, he can demolish one - chewed into little bitty pieces and eaten - in anywheres from 5 minutes to 2 hours. I'm the only motherfucker I know that considers weight and number of rolls in the rawhide when I'm buying those damned things but at least my arm gets a break when he's gnawing on that.

Are the Heathen Chinese poisoning our dogs?
Chicken jerky treats may be to blame for dozens of new reports of mysterious illnesses and some deaths in dogs, prompting a renewed warning for pet owners by the Food and Drug Administration.
At least 70 dogs have been sickened so far this year after reportedly eating chicken jerky products imported from China, FDA officials said. That’s up from 54 reports of illness in 2010. Some of the dogs have died, according to the anecdotal reports from pet owners and veterinarians.
FDA officials say they have not been able to find a cause for the illnesses. Extensive chemical and microbiological testing has failed to turn up a specific contaminant and officials did not identify a specific brand of treats. They note that the reports of illness have not conclusively been tied to chicken jerky products, also sold as chicken tenders, chicken strips or chicken treats.
The new warning follows previous FDA cautions about chicken jerky treats in 2007 and 2008. But after a high of 156 reports of illness in 2007, the number of complaints dropped. Now, it's rising again.
Dog owners and vets are reporting that animals may be stricken with a range of illnesses within days or hours of eating chicken jerky, including kidney failure and Fanconi syndrome, a condition characterized by low glucose.
Symptoms may include decreased appetite, decreased activity, vomiting, diarrhea, increased water consumption and increased urination. If dogs show any of these signs, stop feeding the animal the chicken jerky products, FDA officials said. If signs are severe or persist for more than 24 hours, seek veterinary help.

Bullet Choice And Pelt Damage
11/10/2011
Proponents of the former say it is better for the bullet to explode after penetrating the skin. They maintain two things are accomplished: all the bullet’s energy is spent on the prey rather than in the hillside, and only one hole is made in a valuable pelt.
Those who opt for FMJ bullets say two holes cause greater blood loss, leaving very small, readily reparable holes in that valuable pelt. They point out that a highly explosive bullet could “backfire” on the hunter. It could produce a through wound on a smallish animal with a broadside shot, creating a large and irreparable exit hole, or may not penetrate to the vitals of a large coyote or bobcat, especially if only a going-away shot is possible.
Both sides apply good logic, but neither has a definitive answer. The primary consideration is the end objective. Is the object a prime pelt, or ending the depredation of a barn-raiding thief? If it is the latter, no one cares if the bullet blows the hide to bits; if a pelt is important, one small hole is the obvious choice.
Here is where the debate becomes moot: It might not be possible to inflict minimal external damage while demolishing the vitals. Consideration of the many variables of species, bullet construction, velocity, etc., can help make this choice more obvious. For instance, a 50-grain Sierra Blitz bullet from a .222 at 3,200 feet per second (fps) is pure destruction on a red fox at any reasonable range, and rarely exits. But that same bullet from a .220 Swift fired at a 60-pound eastern coyote might make one huge entrance hole, yet fail to reach any vitals. By the time that dog dies, it might be miles away and have chewed
at the wound enough to destroy the pelt – if you manage to find it at all. A bullet of stronger construction might kill, yet sail on through both sides, taking a golf ball-size hunk of pelt with it. The first consideration, therefore, is to match the bullet not only to the animal hunted, but also to the velocity of the cartridge.
A full-metal jacketed bullet will usually cause little pelt destruction, unless it causes bone fragments to act as secondary projectiles, which might exit the far side. The down side to FMJ projectiles is they must kill by severe blood loss (through two holes) or by imparting a great deal of hydrostatic shock (through velocity). While the latter usually provides instantaneous death, the former often requires considerable time (and distance) for the target to die, even though a sizeable blood trail is usually present.
I don’t believe a heavy-jacket big-game bullet is ever a good idea to use on a smallish predator, unless you simply happen on a predator while big-game hunting. Most game bullets open up to some degree in even the smallest animal, and all such bullets penetrate completely through all but the largest predators such as bears or mountain lions.
Again, consider why you are shooting an animal, as well as the nature of that animal. Years ago, a friend invited me to help him try to exterminate a pack of wild dogs on his uncle’s farm. Armed with an M-1Carbine and a Browning High Power, we took a stand near a day-old cow carcass under the only large tree in a field of winter-crushed grass. The dogs came in shortly after sunrise—all 20 or so. They showed absolutely no fear, even after we foolishly shot a few. When we did, two very frightening things happened. First, a half-dozen immediately turned on the ones we shot, and the remainder of the pack turned on us. Fortunately, the tree branches were low enough that we escaped upward.
Five long, cold hours later, and after firing at least 150 rounds of the metal-jacketed military ammunition, my friend’s uncle rescued us with his Farmall tractor and hay wagon. We succeeded in killing 14 dogs and wounding several, but we learned not to use full-metal jacket ammunition in that situation (as well as to never hunt wild dogs from the ground.) Conclusion? Full metal jackets might kill with little damage, but it rarely happens fast. They are the best option for hide hunters, but place your shots with as much precision as possible. However, I must also relate the story of a buddy who decided a Barnes X bullet fired at full velocity from a .270 Winchester was just the thing for coyotes. He argued it would let him kill the occasional dog across a cornfield, despite howling winter winds. The X bullet has an excellent reputation as a bullet that penetrates seemingly forever and retains almost all of its original weight. What some people fail to realize is these bullets open up—to the end of their hollow point—quickly, and in doing so, create four “petals” which create an extensive wound channel.
The first coyote’s pelt was ruined, but Alex was certain the off-side damage was caused by the bullet fragmenting bone along its route. Finally, after an “necropsy” was performed on the fourth dead dog, he realized no bone had been struck at all, and the gaping exit wounds were caused by the high velocity of the X bullet doing precisely what it was designed to do—opening up. The next spring, Alex bought a very accurate .223 and relegated his.270 to deer and bear.
Larger predators are an entirely different matter. Here, the only emphasis is putting the animal down with authority. Kill it before it (a) suffers, (b) runs a long distance and is possibly not recovered or (c) gets angry at the puny, two-legged critter who caused its pain! In this instance, use the best expanding bullet available, preferably one of the “premium” bullets. There is a big difference between a 150-pound mountain lion and an 800-pound grizzly, so choose the bullet accordingly.
The reason for most of my predator hunting is to reduce the population of fawn-killing coyotes, and the sooner and more convincingly they’re dead, the better. But when hides are prime, my objective changes. What hide-saver would I recommend? Frangible and explosive bullets work on appropriate-sized game in specific situations, but be prepared for occasional ruined hides or failure to penetrate. For prime pelts, my choice is precisely placed, full-metal jackets, and whichever brand and bullet weight work best in my rifle for the size of my quarry.

One of the oldest predator-hunting dilemmas, when hides matter, is whether to use frangible, thin-jacketed bullets or full-metal jackets.

I knew it
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A California university placed two of its police officers on administrative leave Sunday because of their involvement in the pepper spraying of passively sitting protesters, while the school's chancellor accelerated a task force's investigation into the incident amid calls for her resignation.
The president of the 10-campus University of California system also weighed in on the growing fallout from Friday's incident at UC Davis, saying that he is "appalled" at images of students being doused with pepper spray and plans a far-reaching, urgent assessment of law enforcement procedures on all campuses.
Videos posted online of the incident clearly show one riot-gear clad officer dousing the line of protesters with spray as they sit in a line with their arms intertwined. Spicuzza told the AP that the second officer was identified during an intense review of several videos.
"We really wanted to be diligent in our research, and during our viewing of multiple videos we discovered the second officer," Spicuzza said. "This is the right thing to do."

Mexico to cull 50,000 wild boars from US invasion
Mexican officials have unveiled plans to slaughter some 50,000 wild boars that have crossed the border from the United States and now threaten agriculture in Mexico.
The Ministry of Environment in Chihauha state said some 1,500 hectares (3,700 acres) of farmland in the border town of Ojinaga have been affected by the large number of feral pigs that have come from Presidio County, Texas.
"We must get rid of these European wild boars because they sleep overnight on US soil during the day and cross over to the Mexican side to feed," Ignacio Legarreta, a state official, told local media.
The boars of European origin, which were imported to Texas as pets and then replicated in the wild, have caused serious damage to the flora and fauna of the area, officials said.
"They have reproduced to reach more than 50,000 animals that threaten the area," said Legarreta.
The authorities intend to use cages with food inside to trap the animals.
Read about it here.
Maybe we should cull 500,000 illegals from the invasion from the mexican side of the border. We can bait 'em with lawnmowers......
Okay, I got it out of the way.
Brought over as pets? Didn't Coronado bring a shitload of pigs over with him from Europe when he came over? I bet it's pretty likely he inadvertantly left a couple here and there while he was wandering around. And other than a few flaky Kalifornians, I don't know of anybody that keeps livestock as pets. Maybe the Texans had pigs that they kept for food that escaped, ya think?
It seems to me I was reading on one of the Right Wing/Terrorist/TEA Party blogs, maybe it was on one of my predator blogs, that Texas was coming under fire because they wanted to do some serious hog culling because of hogs coming from south of the border.
What's the big deal about where they're coming from? Pigs are pigs, man. They don't know or care about borders. Just invite a shitload of out-of-state hunters, ask the ranchers to waive the hunting fees they normally charge for a few months and have a hog shoot.
Thanks, Thomas.

I also doubled my readership from a thousand hits a day (with a peak of 7600 hits the Sunday after I gassed the hippie), got a free shirt from Evil Conservatives (see the sidebar to purchase your own), an offer from Martinez Family Bail Bonds here in town to bail me and an offer from a Sacramento lawyer to represent me for free if needed.
Then there was a couple of hundred bucks in donations and about a million attaboys from readers all over the world.

OWS Portland punches a police horse in the face
What the fuck, man? I'd have slapped the spurs to that horse and rode right over that motherfucker.
OWS: If a Cop Tries to Arrest You, Kill Him
Every single day that passes, Occupy Wall Street becomes more violent and more desperate. After over 4,000 arrests, dozens of rapes, hundreds of thefts, and multiple murders, it is exceedingly evident that OWS is an anarchistic group of morons with no apparent purpose.
The only rallying cry they see to have is, "We are the 99%," a lie that spits in the face of the facts. However, it appears that OWS has a new cry: kill the police. Occupy Wall Street is now advising people to resist arrest. And they do not mean peacefully existing arrest. No, instead OWS suggests that, if a police officer tries to arrest you, you have the right to murder him on the spot.
Read the rest here at Pundit Press. Read the comments also.
What's going to happen when one of these fuckers actually do try to kill a cop and he defends himself and/or fellow officers?
They're going to fucking crucify him, and I ain't talking about just the media. Everybody from his supervisors on up are going to get a piece of him. Then DOJ is going to try and fry him, then the ACLU is going to fire off lawsuit after lawsuit for him violating that poor defenseless hippies' rights. Just wait and watch.

But isn't Capitalism evil?
Surfing eBay earlier today I ran across this shirt.
Does it come with scabies and at least five pairs of breeding lice? Maybe a urine stain?
I wonder if the seller is going to pay his fair share of taxes from the sale of these fine shirts?

In case you were wondering......
The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.
Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt............... 38%
Taft............................ 40%
Wilson ....................... 52%
Harding.......................49%
Coolidge.................... 48%
Hoover ......................42%
F. Roosevelt...............50%
Truman...................... 50%
Johnson......................47%
Nixon........................ 53%
Ford.......................... 42%
Carter........................ 32%
Reagan........................86%
GH Bush.....................51%
Clinton .......................39%
GW Bush....................55%
And the winner is:
Obama.................. 8%
This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in a job not supported by tax money!
That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what's best for GM, Chrysler, Wall Street, and you and me?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They should have been in an employment line.

Ooooh, we got a tough boy here.....
Brandon Watts, whose bloody face was pictured on the front page of Friday’s Daily News, was the first person to set up a residential tent inside the park, a fellow protester said.
“He’s been here since week one,” said the protester, who did not want to use his name. “He was one of the guys who started the whole tent thing.”
He said Watts, of Philadelphia, Pa., put together his tent a day after Jesse Jackson helped protect a medical tent from being dismantled on Oct. 17.
Soon after protesters started pitching tents, a gal pal of Watts’ told the New York Times Magazine he lost his virginity at the encampment.
“Brandon lost his virginity today — not to me,” Core Jones, 20, told the magazine on Oct. 23. “I don’t know who the girl is. But I want to have a party for him.”
On Thursday, Watts stood atop a wall inside Zuccotti Park and tossed objects — including a AAA battery — at cops standing outside the barricade along Liberty St., police said.
Suddenly, the 6-foot-1, 160-pound Watts charged the officers and snatched a hat off the head of a deputy inspector, cops said.
Cops caught him as he ran back into the park, but he began to fight back, police said. He was wrestled to the ground and busted his head on the concrete, causing a gash to gush blood down his face.
It wasn’t the first time Watts tussled with cops since the Occupied Wall Street movement began downtown.
He has been arrested four times since Sept. 24 for resisting arrest, loitering in disguise, escaping from a prisoner van and stealing orange mesh fencing, police said.
He even bragged about some of the arrests to a Daily News reporter on Oct. 1.
“I got loose from them and I ran and I knocked down the barricades as much as I could,” he said of one collar.
He also gloated about an alleged fight on a downtown train with four men who attacked one of his female friends.
“I stood up and defended her,” he said. “I got blades on the bottoms of my shoes and a blade in my pocket.”
But he said he never had to use a weapon.
“I roundhouse kicked [one] in the balls,” he said. “I got only two black eyes, and they got carried out with handcuffs and stretchers.”
*****
Yeah, right. Four against one and they took them out on stretchers? If you're so fucking tough, why are you crying over a cut on your head from that asskicking that you were dealt?
And your weaponry sucks. How about a blade AND a 45 on my hip - who do you think will be taken away on a stretcher then, punk?
Glad you finally got laid though, but I have a question: Was it with a girl?
I love this guy
(PolitickerNY) — Congressman Peter King continued his verbal assault on Occupy Wall Street, appearing on Anderson Cooper’s CNN show and three times accuses the protesters of living in “feces and urine.”
“There was nothing there that was resonating with Middle America,” Mr. King said. “I didn’t see the purpose. I had no idea why the media was cover it the way it was. You really had a tiny tiny percentage of the people taking over the park, sleeping in the park, sleeping in their own feces and urine and that somehow became a national movement.”
Mr. King also said that in his mind “there was nothing admirable about these demonstrators,” who he called “a bunch of malcontents.”

Grumble grumble bitch whine and complain
I had a good day at work yesterday - stayed busy but not overwhelmed - and when I came home I was ready for an evening of movies and relaxing, visiting with Lisa, and generally just fucking off.
But alas, that was not to be.
I walked into the kitchen and saw a sink full of nasty dishwater and an "uh-oh" look on my Sweeties' face.
"Um, there is a minor problem here. I was making candles and some of the wax leaked out of the mold and I didn't notice and it ran down the drain and clogged up the sink and I tried to clear it with a coat hanger but I jabbed too hard and knocked the pipe loose and water came pouring out of the cabinet and the sink has a stopper in it to keep the rest of the water in the sink and I'm really really really sorry to do this to you right after you get home but I have a nice dinner of Chili Colorado for you and.........."
Damn, Woman. Take a breath.
I broke the rest of the pipes loose, drained the sink water into a bucket and tried to throw it on CharlieGodammit but he knew that game and was too quick.
Man, the P-trap (why do they call it a P-trap instead of a U-trap?) was completely clogged with hardened wax. That fucker must've weighed 2 pounds. So I said fuck it, I'll fix it tomorrow, no way was I getting my ass back into the truck and driving to the hardware store and spending time on my back under that sink tonight.
So I fucked with Lisa all night last night about HAVING TO GO TO THE HARDWARE STORE, and then started in on her this morning about it.
I'm glad she has a sense of humor.
So, I guess I'm going to finish my coffee, do my morning bathroom ritual and then get dressed to go TO THE HARDWARE STORE.
Thank God for P-traps, otherwise I'd be having to call a plumber to cut that wax out of my sewer line.
But this is going to be a nice source of entertainment for the next week or so.

That shit would get on my nerves too
Chris Schisler did not appreciate the camp drummer waking him up at 7 AM.
Two Occupy Portland goons were arrested after they choked and beat the camp drummer with a hammer.
The Press Herald reported:
Two Occupy Portland goons were arrested after they choked and beat the camp drummer with a hammer.
The Press Herald reported:
Portland police say they have charged a man with assaulting another man with a hammer at the Occupy Maine encampment in Lincoln Park.
Police charged Chris Schisler who said recently he has been staying at the camp for several weeks, with assaulting another member of the camp at about 7 a.m.
The victim of the assault was taken to a local hospital with a head injury, police said.
Demonstrators said that the victim of the assault was banging on a drum to wake protesters to participate in a morning cleanup exercise, raking leaves so the city could collect them. The morning cleanup had been decided at the previous night’s general assembly, though many people at the camp were not there.
When the man started drumming to wake the camp, Schisler allegedly told him to stop and when he didn’t, smashed the drum head with the hammer, protesters said. In the ensuing confrontation, Schisler hit the man – a protester who has been active in park governance and maintenance – in the head…
…Portland police have charged a second man in a morning assault at the Occupy Maine encampment in Lincoln Park.
Police issued a court summons to Danny Arnold, 34 on a charge of choking another man.
A police press release said Arnold and Chris Schisler, 34, assaulted Alan Porter, 45, as he was banging a drum to wake people at the camp. Schisler, who was located at the Portland Public Library after the 7 a.m. assault, is being held on $10,000 bail at Cumberland County Jail, charged with hitting Porter in the head with a hammer.
