Foodstamps campaign
Yes that’s an actual advertising campaign to encourage people to sign up for food stamps, running now in New York f’ing City.

Wonder how much that’s costing me, freaking commies.

Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections “has become a black hole” because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.

Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud “Excuse me!” He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a “white hole.”

That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.

SUSAN SARANDON, who appeared in three films last year and won kudos for her TV movie “Bernard and Doris,” is still not a contented soul. She says if John McCain gets elected, she will move to Italy or Canada. She adds, “It’s a critical time, but I have faith in the American people.”

More proof that knowing your target market is critically important.

“He was trying to sell these pieces of crack for $5 apiece to these elderly citizens and, clearly, trying to take advantage of them because he knew they received their checks on the 10th of every month,” JSO spokeswoman Melissa Bujeda said.

Or, is there a big call for crack among the elderly?

unintended consequences #78432


Two years ago the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation expected biofuels to help eradicate hunger and poverty for up to two billion people. Yesterday the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon raised real doubt over that policy amid signs that the world was facing its worst food crisis in a generation.

Since the FAO’s report in April 2006 tens of thousands of farmers have switched from food to fuel production to reduce US dependence on foreign oil. Spurred by generous subsidies and an EU commitment to increase the use of biofuels to counter climate change, at least 8m hectares (20m acres) of maize, wheat, soya and other crops which once provided animal feed and food have been taken out of production in the US.

Seems to me that every time the .gov gets involved in something it turns to sh*t.

Thanks to bio-fuel subsidies the price of my bagel keeps going up how much does that suck?

I realize that the war on drugs long ago escalated into the absurd but this is just retarded.


Tiny plastic bags used to sell small quantities of heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana and other drugs would be banned in Chicago, under a crackdown advanced Tuesday by a City Council committee.

Ald. Robert Fioretti (2nd) persuaded the Health Committee to ban possession of “self-sealing plastic bags under two inches in either height or width,” after picking up 15 of the bags on a recent Sunday afternoon stroll through a West Side park.

In other news, the Chicago Swat executed a no knock warrant on the Transportation Security Administration on suspicion of drug dealing, several innocent people were shot.

With the holiday travel season nearing, plastic bag manufacturers are coupling with airport authorities to give travelers the plastic bags they need to carry shampoos and other liquid items on airplanes.

Twenty voters at a Far North Side precinct who found their ink pens not working were told by election judges not to worry.

It’s invisible ink, officials said. The scanner will count it.

But their votes weren’t recorded after all.

“Part of me was thinking it does sound stupid enough to be true,” said Amy Carlton, who had serious doubts but went ahead and voted anyway.

Update: In the comments the Amy Carlton in question (who may or may not be a dead person) links to her version of the story…

the glories of “universal” healthcare

Ah, the efficiencies of government.


A school boy who was deaf for nine years was suddenly cured - when a cotton wool bud suddenly popped out of his ear.

Jerome Bartens, 11, was diagnosed as deaf in his right ear when he was just two. He struggled at school, couldn’t hear the TV properly and was fed up with people having to shout at him.

Jerome’s dad Carsten, 45, said: “It was just incredible - his hearing returned to normal in an instant. He was cured as suddenly as he became deaf. I had always suspected Jerome had stuck something in his ear when he was little and that was causing the problem. But the doctors and hearing specialists said it was wax and he would probably grow out of it.

my bullshit detector goes into overdrive

Bloomie (who the f’ing NY Sun really really really really wants to run for Prez for some stupid reason) shows more of his authoritarian side.

After 9/11, untold thousands of New Yorkers bought machines that detect traces of biological, chemical, and radiological weapons. But a lot of these machines didn’t work right, and when they registered false alarms, the police had to spend millions of dollars chasing bad leads and throwing the public into a state of raw panic.

OK, none of that has actually happened. But Richard Falkenrath, the NYPD’s deputy commissioner for counterterrorism, knows that it’s just a matter of time. That’s why he and Mayor Michael Bloomberg have asked the City Council to pass a law requiring anyone who wants to own such detectors to get a permit from the police first.

the painful lessons of socialism


Venezuela’s top food company has accused troops of illegally seizing more than 500 tonnes of food from its trucks as part of President Hugo Chavez’s campaign to stem shortages.

The leftist Chavez this week created a state food distributor and loosened some price controls, seeking to end months of shortages for staples like milk and eggs that have caused long lines and upset his supporters in the OPEC nation.

The below leaves me with 2 questions,
1. Can you use your CIWS on surface craft?
2. Would the remains of said surface craft change the flavour of the babagounush?

“If you are not passing more than 65 percent of your students in a class, then you are not designing your expectations to meet their abilities, and you are setting your students up for failure, which, in turn, limits your success as a professional.”

’cause everyone knows the real world is always about the lowest common denominator
