A teen convicted in the “Jena Six” beating case shot himself in the chest and was taken to the hospital Monday, days after his arrest on a shoplifting charge, police said. Mychal Bell’s wound isn’t life threatening, said Monroe Police Sgt. Cassandra Wooten. The 18-year-old used a .22-caliber firearm in the shooting around 7:40 p.m., she [...] I’ve never understood the contradiction of Blue States. On one hand, they’ll tell you left and right that money should be confiscated from the rich to help the poor; it is after all their solemn obligation as citizens of these here United States to do the right thing for their fellow man. We’re [...] Click to Play David sings the prayers over the menorah. I have to say I was quite proud of him! var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, twitter, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, reddit, live, more’; No sooner do I write a post castigating two of the biggest blowhards in social media when I get a present dropped in my lap in the form of an idiotic post from the internet’s top idiot, Robert Scoble. To refresh (in case going back to yesterday is too much for some of you!), here’s what [...] I think, if anything, the BS term of the year would have to be “community.” In the era of social networking and social media, everything is all about community. We have to have twittering plants, twittering babies, and even blogs for our kids who aren’t even old enough to speak, let alone write. [...] Let’s play hypotheticals. After all, I love them more than I love many other things in the world. It’s 9/12/01, and the United States has just been attacked by terrorists. As thousands of Americans are now dead, the President says we don’t need to have any investigations into what happened and the intelligence failures [...] Click to Play I figured a look at last Friday’s snow would be nice for Christmas since most of us won’t be having a white christmas this year. Merry Chrismtas, everyone, and I hope it brings with it all the joy and blessings possible! var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, twitter, digg, delicious, myspace, google, [...] It isn’t safe for planes to take off, and cars driving around are sliding like they’re on slip and slides. What do the scumbags who run the hansom cabs do? Why, they keep them working, of course! No one I know in NYC is in favor of these insane hansom cab rides, and the [...] The insane just gets insaner… Justice Plummer Lott declared a mistrial Monday afternoon in the case of Lee Woods, 30, after a female juror, who had reported hearth palpitations and high blood pressure on Friday morning, said that she was unable to resume deliberations until she underwent more tests. State law prohibits substituting an alternate juror [...] Well color me stunned. A few days after a jury let Robert Ellis walk for murdering Russell Timoshenko, they also let Lillo Brancato walk for murdering a police officer. To be honest, I never saw that coming. Former actor Lillo Brancato has been cleared of the most serious charges against him, including murder in [...] We’ve heard the word sacrifice come up quite often in recent weeks; usually in the same context; how much the “rich” (whichever loosely defined income group they decide “rich” are) needs to give back as a privilege for making money. What shouldn’t surprise you, however, is that Congress has no intention of taking the lead and [...] From the NY Daily News: A jury convicted triggerman Dexter Bostic of murdering Officer Russel Timoshenko Friday night, ensuring he will rot in prison. The verdict – guilty on all counts – was handed down after 14 hours of deliberations over two days. “It was a pretty watertight case,” said a 29-year-old juror, the only white person on [...] Governor Paterson warned that a tax on the “wealthy” may be hitting New York State soon in an effort to close the budget gap that no one saw coming. In a prepared statement to the media, Paterson warned: “Taxing the wealthy is probably going to be part of the solution if the deficit gets any [...] Here’s the stuff I was too lazy to post about but wanted to share anyway! Sock and Awe!
Throw the shoe at George Bush – see how many times you can hit him! Fun as all hell, honestly.

Just for the record, I hate the jewelry commercials, too… via Meg @ Consumerist UPDATE: The stupid video embed isn’t working, so you can watch it here also. var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, twitter, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, reddit, live, more’; I was going to write a long post about Mark Felt and how I think his fame is highly overrated and based on the fact that he took down a piece of garbage president that wasn’t a popular guy, not because anything he did was particularly courageous. Then I remembered, I did that already: June 26, [...] Here’s the stuff I was too lazy to post about but wanted to share anyway! Twitter Tools 1.5.1a vs. WordPress 2.7 (rc2)
Just a quick bit of css hackery to get rid of an annoying margin issue in the 2.7 WP Admin. View all my bookmarks on Ma.gnolia var addthis_language = [...] It’s insane how grabby some states are becoming with their citizens’ money. Take North Carolina, for instance. Their “congestion” problem is so bad that they want to tax drivers based on the amount of miles they drive in a year, as if that’s going to somehow lessen the number of cars on the [...] Peter King isn’t really all that enamored with the idea of Caroline Kennedy becoming the next Senator from the great state of New York. In an interview with CNN, King said: I’m not saying you have to be a politician or to have held office … but you have to be somewhere in the public [...] New York Governor David Paterson’s budget includes an 18% tax on non-diet soda, meaning if you decide to avoid the poison known as aspertame in your soda, you’re going to be paying more for it.
