This study found race matters in police shootings, but the results may surprise you
. . . meaning if you are white the cops are more likely to shoot you. "It’s the third time researchers at Washington State — Lois James, Stephen M. James and Bryan J. Vila — have set up simulations to monitor the differing reactions of police when confronted by white or black suspects. And all three times, they found that officers took significantly more time to fire their weapons if the subject was black, according to their latest report, “The Reverse Racism Effect,” to be published in the journal Criminology & Public Policy." Which can be reduced to: Boom, screw it, he's white! After all, how much paperwork does one dead white boy generate compared to how much paperwork does one dead black boy generate? Right! With the one, you solved the case! Here's your bonus! With the other you've found your way into purgatory, and a life of paperwork. The Full Story Behind Bloomberg's Attempt To "Unmask" Zero Hedge
. . . ok, lots of barnacles. I have no idea what the true story is, but this sure as beats the hell out of reading another Kardashian story. Anything dealing with any Kardashian should be photo only. Other than the T & A who gives a rip? Tennessee Votes to Cut Diversity Spending So Students Protest
. . . parody that The Onion! "The House and Senate in Tennessee have both voted to cut diversity spending (that is, to stop wasting money on a an office that makes leftists feel good) and, as we read in this IHE story, many students staged a protest by walking out of class and obstructing sidewalks on campus." Why bother reading parody, even great parody when the progressives are outstripping it at every turn? I am rethinking my position on the cost of college. If these dull witted sheeple are bound and determined to be charged for all manner of nonsense, who am I to stop them. Revel in the debt slavery sheeple! Sorry, Gwyneth Paltrow, but steaming your vagina is a bad idea
. . . and I thought Maddogswif mad for cleaning the garage floor with bleach! "Actor Gwyneth Paltrow has excelled herself. Her “popular lifestyle website” goop.com carries a recommendation that women steam-clean their vaginas for extra energy, to rebalance female hormones and for a squeaky clean uterus: The real golden ticket here is the Mugwort V-Steam. You sit on what is essentially a mini-throne, and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleanses your uterus, et al.'" Never let it be said I don't like a squeaky clean vagina, but, really, this might be going a bit far. World's Largest Atom Smasher Reportedly Shut Down by Rodent
. . . go weasel, go! "A weasel-like rodent shut down the world's most powerful atom smasher after it apparently gnawed through a power cable, facility officials said today. The Large Hadron Collider, a 17-mile long machine sitting deep underground on the border of France and Switzerland, went offline Thursday night, according to documents posted online by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (better known by its French acronym CERN). Engineers investigating the shutdown reportedly found the charred remains of a furry animal near the chewed-up power cable." No man can keep a good weasel down! China Blocks U.S. Navy Flotilla’s Visit to Hong Kong
Boom, China implodes in a puff of smoke. "WASHINGTON — The Chinese government on Thursday denied a Navy flotilla access to the port in Hong Kong, Pentagon officials said Friday, the latest sign of escalating tension between the United States and China. The rare refusal to allow the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis, and several other vessels accompanying it, to visit the port comes two weeks after the Stennis hosted the defense secretary, Ashton B. Carter, on a visit to the South China Sea, where the United States is challenging what it sees as excessive maritime claims by China. During the trip, Mr. Carter criticized the Chinese and said the United States would work with its allies in the region." Cut the status, then work with the antiChinese elements in the South China Sea. Congress can do much of this without actually changing the status by simply holding hearings on whether they should change the status. It is time to put China on notice. The President was golfing and did not return our smoke signals requesting a comment. Expect nothing and you will never be disappointed. Bureaucracies which live for themselves
. . . a weakness which only manifests itself immediately before the fall. More below the fold. Little Scamp Causes Full Minute of Dead Air on NPR on Take Your Child to Work Day
Ummm, that is take your child to work day! Here at the main control board of USS Maddogslair, we don't hold much to etiquette, or anything else truthfully. So, while take your child to work day was yesterday, we slept through it. Instead we will be taking our child(s) to work today! Mostly because they are off school for one of the myriad teacher don't have to work days. I'm hoping they are up for a pint of bourbon each, that is my minimum RDA while helming the USS Maddogslair, no shirking just because they are only 16 and 17! Oh, and ground jerky sticks, I usually knock down a good half dozen, but hey, I won't expect a novice stomach to handle that much meat flavored pressed wood pulp, or whatever these things are made of. With the Maddogsson in Marine Corps Boot Camp, I am especially glad they do not have a take your father to work day. My bourbon/jerky soaked body ricocheting off that much exercise might trigger a thermobaric explosion sufficient to take down the entire MCRD base! Anyway, here's hoping my little scamps can cause as much chaos and confusion as the NPR scamps! If take your child to work day isn't designed to allow your kids create all the chaos you aren't allowed to cause, what is it for? If you don't understand the lede, ask an Irishman or Scotsman to read it to you. Female Trouble
. . . and bad ideas tend to be like Genie's, difficult to get back into the bottle. More below the fold. |
