Barney Fife Has A Reality Show?

This is just too much.

It remains to be seen just what will result from this rampant illegality but hopefully it will involve large amounts of money and the slamming of many steel barred doors.

HOUSTON (CN) - Texas lawmen broke into a woman's house without a warrant to arrest her on bogus marijuana charges, and filmed it for a constable's YouTube reality show, the 61-year-old woman claims in court.
Perla Carr sued Montgomery County, Texas, its District Attorney Brett Ligon, its Precinct 4 Constable Kenneth "Rowdy" Hayden, Precinct 4 Chief Barry Welch and three other deputy constables, in Federal Court.
Carr claims that "loud noises of someone breaking into her home" woke her up at around 10:15 p.m. on Sept. 22, 2011.

"After searching Perla's residence and finding alleged marijuana plants deputy Eric McHugh under the direction and knowledge of at least Constable Hayden, Chief Welch and Supervisor Berglund wrote up a materially false and misleading affidavit to support a search warrant."
The affidavit falsely stated the constables saw marijuana through the window the home and smelled before breaking in, and left out that they had searched the residence without a warrant, Carr says.
The phony affidavit worked, Carr says, as a judge signed a search warrant that arrived two hours after the break-in.

"Sometime after Perla's case was dismissed in her favor, Perla discovered a video on YouTube of the defendants breaking into her home with a crowbar through the front door. ... The video was for a reality television show called 'Texas Takedown' and is currently available to view on the Internet," the complaint states. "All defendants were aware of the filming of the incident involving Perla and 'Texas Takedown.'
"Also, the recently discovered video shows Constable Hayden talking on the phone to DA Ligon prior to the crowbar break-in, who advises Constable Hayden to 'force entry.'"

What is it they say about taking the law into your own hands?

These assclowns, from Barney and the DA clear to the judge that signed off on this cavalcade of felonies need to be locked up and sued into oblivion.

More Political Brinksmanship

Meh.
I am pretty much sick and tired of the fucking games these assholes seem to insist on playing these days. Buncha damn Drama Queens, they are as bad as a cheezy fucking Soap Opera,.
Come midnight tomorrow, we may or may not have a functional government.
I should rephrase that I think.

That bunch are the poster children for dysfunctional morons.

What may actually happen is that the government will run out of money.

Oops, I did it again.
We have been broke for years.

What they are dicking around with is a six week extension to fund the government to keep it from shutting down and throwing hundreds of thousands of government employees out of work.

If you have somehow managed to miraculously miss hearing about this, you are to be commended and envied.

All ya gotta do is Google "Government Shutdown" and there will be scads of articles with finger pointing galore.

I ain't linking to a single one either.

Fuck those clowns.

Someone let me know when they decide to get serious about the problems facing this country.

I will have my thermal underwear on and be waiting for a ride to Hell when that happens.

Some Twatwaffle Argues That Neville Chamberlain Was Right To Appease Germany

This is the kind of horseshit that needs to be watched for and called out.
Selective history revision that is meant to sway perception and published in a major news delivery apparatus as an opinion piece.

Just mention the name Neville Chamberlain and what is the very first thing that comes to mind?

Appeasement.

It is automatic.

Here we have some pussy motherfucker trying to make the argument that Chamberlain's decision to give up Czechoslovakia to Hitler as a means to buy time to prepare for war was "what we would want any responsible leader to do".

Neville Chamberlain Was Right

The maligned British prime minister did what we would want any responsible leader to do.

My first question to this quisling cocksucker is "who is we"?




Chamberlains decision gave Hitler free reign to fully implement his plans to exterminate the Jewish population in Europe.

Somehow this "Nick Baumann" conveniently avoids getting anywhere near that small point.

Fuck you Nick.

No Rest For The Wicked

Even on my day off I am busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.

My Dad is back in intensive care again, his 76th birthday is tomorrow, my Mom has some kind of wicked cold or flu and with her already being worried sick about my Dad, she is pretty much a basket case. To top that whole situation off, my niece, her husband and a one week old baby are living there with them.

I went to see my Pops and then went to see my 99 year old Granny in the nursing home.
The last four times I have been to see her she was out like a drunken sailor on a Saturday night, there was no waking her and she doesn't know who ya are anymore anyway. She was actually awake today and we had a nice visit, for what it's worth.

At least she knew someone was there to see her..

I called my youngest daughter because I hadn't heard whether or not her fucking car passed emissions after I spent $250 on oxygen sensors, fuck no.
The day after she left here the fucking check engine light came back on.
So, I told her to come back over so I can see why that is on again.

If it's the oxygen sensor codes again then it is either the computer seeing something I don't or the wiring is fucked up.

Either way that means a trip to the fucking Dealership.
My ass is bleeding just contemplating that possibility.

I got the screening over the holes in the house foundation covered up again after the cats decided they wanted a daylight basement option. That involved drilling holes in the concrete.

My back is killing me from that and I had the boy and his cousin help me build a set of shelves, more of a small cabinet yesterday for the garage.

I know I am forgetting something but it is all starting to blur together at this point.
Oh, yeah, the weather.
It is raining sideways and the wind is absolutely fucking howling outside.

I got behind a semi getting on the bridge headed to Oregon and that sumbitch was all over the road.

It didn't take long for the wind to start pushing me around too so instead of being the first one at the site of a tip over I went ahead and went around that guy.

Someone at the store said we were supposed to get about ten inches of rain around here in the next few days.
While not unheard of around here, I have seen it dump a solid half inch of rain in less than a half hour, I will believe it when I see it.

So if it gets a bit quiet around here it probably just means that I have finally fallen over dead exhausted.

Y'all have a nice day and thanks fer stopping by.

Christmas Is Coming

I know, I know, please don't hurt me!

I just wanted to give you an idea for a little stocking stuffer for your shooting enthusiast.

I do believe I am going to get some of these just for fun.

Fascinating, One Meeelion Frames Per Second, Bullet impacts In Slow Motion

This is amazing. How in the world do you make a camera that can expose a million frames in one second?!

It's fucking mind boggling to ponder.

Pretty damn cool results though, see for yourself.

No Wonder I'm So Burnt Out

Lordy.
As of last Sunday I had put in over 230 hours at work in 4 weeks. 110 hours this pay period and a little over 120 last pay period.

A month of normal 40 hours a week is 160.
That means I put in 70 fucking hours of overtime.

Of course good ol' Uncle Sam loves my ass right now.

I have about two weeks of time off I need to burn before the end of the year and I am going to do just that here real soon.

I see either a week off straight or a whole bunch of four day weekends in my future.

The fucking bastards even woke me up calling me on the phone at nine thirty this morning when I didn't get to bed until four A.M. .

Trust me when I say that some dickhead got an earful before I hung up.

I'm taking tomorrow and Saturday off for starters.

Now I am going to relax and catch up on my browsing.

Update.

I'm so fucking tired I can't even do basic addition tonight.

I posted fucked up numbers originally and it took a good five minutes of staring at them to see where I messed up.

Fall Is In The Air

Damnit.

Another Story You Will Never See On An American News Station

They are too busy reporting the weather and fluff stories

Hero with a Handgun Saved 100 People from Islamists in Mall Attack

An Ex-Royal Marine with a handgun saved 100 people as Islamists attacked the Kenyan Westgate Mall. According to the Daily Mail, the former Marine was having coffee with friends in Westgate Mall when the attack began. Armed only with his handgun, he immediately began gathering people and getting them out of the building.

One of his friends said, "He went back inside twelve times and saved 100 people. Imagine going back in when you knew what was going on inside."

The hero with a handgun is a former Royal Marine who now lives in Kenya, but he cannot be identified for security reasons.

Suffice it to say, "British military regularly [trains] and [operates] out of Kenya, and have been involved in tracking UK citizen involved with hardline Islamists in Somalia and Yemen."

That is just incredible.

It's a crying shame not one news station manager in this entire country has enough balls to headline this story.

Fucking weasels.

I'mTired And Pissed Off

This seven day a week bullshit is getting old.
On top of that I spent ten and a half hours inside a confined space on my fucking knees last night with a restraint harness on stringing a whole shit ton of wires and my left foot is still numb on top.

I'm fucking beat.

Hopefully I will have next Saturday off.

If nothing else I still have 3 floating holidays to burn and if worst comes to worst I'll use one of those.

As for the pissed off part.

As I was sitting here trying to wake up, all groggy as fuck, my wife tells me that the boy is having anger issues and that they got into it last night, again.

He is fifteen and I remember those days.

I took off from home at that age and never went back myself.

They got into it about grades and of course being a growing male of that age, he is mouthy as all get out to her. The little fucker is smart enough to know better when I am around because I'll get his ass.
She escalated it and slugged him on the arm so he went ballistic and punched the window over the sink that hangs out, kinda like a mini green house. I forget what they call those things.
Anyways, he busted the inner window and of course, cut the shit out of his hand.

Dumbass.


I just got off the phone to the glass place and they will be out tomorrow, to the tune of about $250.

You can rest assured that the lad and I are going to have a short conversation.

A very short, one sided conversation.

If he pulls his lippy fucking shit on me I might end up calling a drywall guy too.

Sigh.

They say there is no rest for the wicked and I certainly have earned my share but I am starting to wonder if I wasn't Genghis Kahn in a previous life.

It Was A Matter Of Time

Somebody needs a good slap upside the head for a little over reacting here.



Suspended Student May Be Expelled for Rest of the Year for Playing With Toy Gun…in His Own Yard

A suspended seventh-grade student in Virginia Beach, Va., could be expelled for the rest of the school year for shooting an airsoft gun with a friend in his yard as they waited for the bus to come.

Khalid Caraballo, 12, and his friend, Aidan, were suspended for “possession, handling and use of a firearm” because they “shot two other friends who were with them while playing” with the airsoft guns, WAVY-TV reported.

Caraballo answered “no, sir,” when asked if he took the toy gun to the bus stop or to school.

“We were in our yard. This had nothing to do with school,” the student said.

Caraballo’s mother, Angel, said being punished for “possession, handling and use of a firearm” was “pretty harsh” for a toy that she bought for $25.

Tim Clark, Aidan’s father, told the news station that the school neglected to use common sense in the incident that occurred off school property.

This zero tolerance bullshit don't fly when the activity has absolutely nothing to do with school assholes.


You overzealous motherfuckers have stepped way beyond your boundaries this time.
