Things that make you say WTF

Lock him up and throw away the key.

He'll could the first black man in prison to join the Arian Brotherhood.

If they don't accept him he can sue for discrimination, likes the girls trying to join the Boy Scouts.
I need some extra money come to think of it. Maybe I should apply to the NAACP, or Black Panthers

The NAACP will take you (well, maybe not YOU), but white folks in general. The New Black Panthers, well again YOU are a problem. No white folks in the club, but they will like the way you think about political violence. I'll give you a 40% chance of being accepted.

I'm touched, those are the nicest things any one has said to me in days. Thank you.

Does It Violate the Fourth Amendment For Cops to Take Some Time Out and Play Wii During the Execution of a Warrant?:
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_09_20-2009_09_26.shtml#1253656872


   No, it's not from the Onion. [1]Tampa Bay Online reports:

       With guns drawn and flashlights cutting through darkened rooms,
     Polk County undercover drug investigators stormed the home of
     convicted drug dealer Michael Difalco near Lakeland in March.
       As investigators searched the home for drugs, some drug task
     force members found other ways to occupy their time. Within 20
     minutes of entering Difalco's house, some of the investigators
     found a Wii video bowling game and began bowling frame after frame.
       While some detectives hauled out evidence such as flat screen
     televisions and shotguns, others threw strikes, gutter balls and
     worked on picking up spares.
       A Polk County sheriff's detective cataloging evidence repeatedly
     put down her work and picked up a Wii remote to bowl. When she hit
     two strikes in a row, she raised her arms above her head, jumping
     and kicking.
       While a female detective lifted a nearby couch looking for
     evidence, another sheriff's detective focused on pin action.
       But detectives with the Polk County Sheriff's Office, the
     Auburndale, Lakeland and Winter Haven police departments did not
     know that a wireless security camera connected to a computer inside
     Difalco's home was recording their activity.

   Here's a photo of the action:

     Assuming playing Wii didn't lead the police to discover any
   evidence, I don't think the defendant can get any of the evidence
   suppressed. And it's hard to know what the damages are in a civil
   suit, even assuming that there was in fact an unauthorized Wii seizure
   (a wee seizure, I suppose!). But c'mon, folks: Wii is for home, not
   work, especially when you are conducting a police raid.
     Thanks to Gregory McNeal for the link.

I read that on YahooNews and laughed hysterically.  I could see it happening, only enough room to get a couple officers into say a bathroom/bedroom so everybody else waits in the living room.  As far as seizing the Wii as evidence breaking the Warrant; it was for proof of the "fruits of drug trafficing"  so it could be said that the Wii or the TV was purchased with drug money.

Here's another one, has nothing to do with fat-ass cop chicks playing Wii bowling either (? ? ? ? )

Izhmash, official maker of the AK and Saiga rifles, filed for bankruptcy!!!

Izhevsk Mechanical Works, possibly the world's most famous arms manufacturer, has filed an application for bankruptcy with the Russian courts. Pravda reports ...

    The Court of Arbitration of the Republic of Udmurtia registered a petition in bankruptcy of JSC Izhmash (Izhevsk Mechanical Works), the largest firearms maker in Russia, Interfax reports. The court hearings to investigate the causes of the petition will be held on October 7, 2009.

    Izhmash, the pride of the nation’s defense industry, may prove to be an unprofitable enterprise. Udmurtia’s Court of Arbitration will look into the financial documents of the group of enterprises of Izhmash Concern. If reasons for bankruptcy are unveiled, Russia’s largest maker of firearms will have to be reorganized. >

Izhevsk owns the designs and trademarks of many different guns including:

    * AK-47, AK-74, AKM and AK-100 series.
    * SVD Dragunov sniper rifle.
    * Tigr rifle (civilian SVD).
    * Saiga rifles and shotguns.

I asked Max Popenker, well known author and owner of world.guns.ru, about the situation. Max told me that the upper management of the company has been absolutely useless for years. He thinks eventually the government will save the company, but he is not optimistic about its future.

If you were thinking about buying a Saiga rifle or Saiga-12 shotgun. I suggest you buy it right now.
