SI Sends Out Army Of Peter Kings To Cover NFL Training Camp

Looking to cover every possible angle of NFL training camp, Sports Illustrated has once again unleashed its army of 350,000 Peter King clones on the preseason workout facilities of all 32 NFL teams.

…NEW YORK Looking to cover every possible angle of NFL training camp, Sports Illustrated has once again unleashed its army of 350,000 Peter King clones on the preseason workout facilities of all 32 NFL teams.
Marching in lockstep, dressed in identical turquoise polo shirts and khaki pants while carrying reporter’s notebooks in their left hands, the legion of indistinguishable sports journalists all reportedly maintain the same smile 24 hours a day, blink at the exact same time, and ask football-related questions in unison.
According to Sports Illustrated officials, there are currently 10,000 Peter King clones at each NFL training camp, with the remaining 30,000 assigned to Terrell Owens.
“The King simulacra are a very effective journalism tool,” Sports Illustrated’s assistant managing editor B.J. Schecter told reporters Friday, adding that no single human being could file six extensive training-camp reports in a one-week span. “At any given moment we might receive 84,000 different news items from 20 different…

Oil Spill Cleanup Crew Find Message in Bottle 1300miles Away

Upon reading the letters, shift supervisor Doug Kirchoff and his crew discovered they were written by the family of James Prosser, a soldier from Wales killed in Afghanistan in September 2009.

…messages, each individually wrapped and dry in an empty bottle.Upon reading the letters, Kirchoff and his crew discovered they were written by the family of James Prosser, a soldier from Wales killed in Afghanistan in September 2009.According to an article in the South Wales Argus newspaper, Prosser’s family had taken a vacation to Barbados in January of this year and, after writing the “heartfelt” letters to him and other family members, sent the bottle into the Caribbean Sea.”(James’) favorite drink was sambucca, so they had gone out to sea to take a toast,” Kirchoff said. When reading the letters, Kirchoff’s crew discovered the address of Sarah Adams, Prosser’s mother.Though the letters weren’t entirely readable, cleanup crew members were able to glean enough information for an Internet search for the soldier and his family. When they reached out to the newspaper earlier this week, it just so happened that the article’s author was having lunch with Adams, who will be celebrating her 43rd birthday…

Border Patrol Agent Let Illegals In the US For Sexual Favors

Rudy Trace Soliz III, a former Customs and Border Protection, pleaded guilty to alien smuggling and bribery, the U.S. Attorney’s office announced today. He did it “in return for sexual favors with the co-conspirator,” the feds say

…This hot desire converts to cold disdain.” (Hey, we’re nothing but classy here.)The female co-conspirator has already pleaded guilty to possession of more than five kilos of cocaine with intent to distribute. She had yet to be sentenced, so we guess Soliz figured she wouldn’t exactly keep his secret when she got on the stand.The transporting of illegal aliens conviction carries a maximum punishment of 10 years imprisonment, while the bribery conviction is punishable by a maximum 15-year-term of imprisonment, the U.S. Attorney’s office says. Each count of conviction is also punishable with fines of up to $250,000….

It’s OK to tell police officers to ‘F*ck off’

A Queensland magistrate has ruled that it is acceptable for people to tell police officers to “f*ck off”.

…”I told him it was an offence to swear at an officer and gave him two choices - a fine or be arrested.” Mr Kaitira opted to be put in handcuffs and taken to the watch house. After winning the landmark case he explained outside court why he pleaded not guilty - despite admitting to swearing at Constable Young. “On the night it was completely over the top and I didn’t think it was fair,” Mr Kaitira said.”Most people just cop a fine but I didn’t want to do that.” The defendant instead read through hundreds of similar legal cases before employing a leading criminal barrister and a solicitor to take on his public nuisance case at a cost of $4622.11. It was worth it for the horticulturist as Magistrate Smid said he was not satisfied Mr Kaitira committed an offence and police could be liable for his legal bills. “The defendant spoke normally, he had his hands in his pockets and walked away,” Magistrate Smid said. “It’s not the most polite way of speaking but those who walk the beat would be quiet immune to the…

The Marijuana Doll House [PICS]

This hilarious dollhouse is outfitted to look like a weed-growing house and is proudly on display in the window of a San Francisco cafe. The dollhouse features Pee Wee Herman dolls, Star Trek action figures, a magic brownie-baking kitchen, and (so my eyes tell me) real marijuana clippings.

…Let us now inspect the lounge. Here we have Pee Wee looking chipper in his rocking chair, while just behind him — not quite in the photo — are our beloved Star Trek action figures. Note the recurring pot leaf decor. And the vom-tastic Pepto Bismol carpet….

Bob Barr: Congress Should Pass Online Poker Licensing Bill

A key House committee voted 41 to 22 to pass a measure licensing online poker. While this vote does not guarantee that the measure will be brought to the full House for a vote, the fact that the legislation was reported at all was a rare breath of fresh air in a Congress increasingly devoid of interest in favor of individual freedom.

…The online gambling issue highlights the plight most Libertarians face in regard to voting. Most of us tend to agree more with the Republican talking points about fiscal policy and limiting the size of government. Then, they go and use government to limit individual freedoms in areas they feel their voting base would agree need to be addressed. It gets a little frustrating when you see how strongly they feel about online gambling but don’t seem to take that same zealous approach to controlling spending which I feel is far more important. In many ways, I think the Republicans attention to the social agenda led to Obama and the Dems taking control. Now, most logical folks see what a train wreck that is becoming, but I for one don’t really want to put the Republicans back in control if its just going to lead to more laws like the internet gambling and no emphasis on controlling the runaway spending. Price is my rep and he seems like a decent enough guy but I cannot give him my vote given his response on this…
