A would-be robber experienced chili burn when a fast food restaurant employee in Sydney, Australia, threw hot chili sauce in his face. A drunken Tyrone Holmwood, 24, reportedly became enraged when presented with the bill for his three medium salads. Rather than paying, he chose instead to help himself to the cash register, strike the server, overturn salads and generally go beserk.
Slinky, curious, and intelligent – ferrets have been domesticated for centuries. But in D.C., New York City, Hawaii, and California ferret owners face threats of jail time and fines up to $10,000.
Ferret opponents fret that the 20-inch mammals are likely to launch “vicious unprovoked attacks on humans,” despite a study from California’s own Research Bureau which found that ferrets don’t “pose an unusual risk of bites.” Others worry that escaped pet ferrets could form feral bands in the wild, but the same study found it “improbable that domestic ferrets could establish feral colonies in California.” H/T Reason.TV
Is it time for Hollywood to get back to the business of make believe. Should we let celebrities do what they do best: be fake in a realistic way? Because when celebrities use their fame to influence the real world, the result, more often than not, is an exercise in narcissism. Unfortunately, American culture has devolved to the point where we celebrate narcissists and their pet concerns at the expense of the issues that affect everyday Americans, such as energy prices, deficit and debt. Col. Allen B. West finds celebrity excess at its worse in the debate over gun violence, especially with regards to the Newton, Connecticut, tragedy. H/T PJTV
Derisive laughter. Cat calls. Bullhorns. Students at Dakota Ridge High School in Littleton, Colo, their families and friends, had to go to extremes to silence a school board member delivering a long-winded graduation speech that appeared as if it would never end.
A ballad to the tune of The Kinks’ “Lola,” satirizing MSNBC commentator Mona Eltahawy’s decision to deface anti-jihadist ad posters placed in the New York subway system by Pamela Geller. Eltahawy apparently objected to the characterization of jihadists as “savages” so she embraced a curious position for a reputed journalist, that of attempting to deny the free speech rights of a political opponent. Then again, she’s affiliated with MSNBC, so her credentials as a journalist are as suspect as any of that network’s moonbat crew. Sample lyrics in this parody:
“Well I left mosque just a week before
And I’d never ever waged a jihad before
But Mona smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I’m gonna make you Sharia man.”

First, the Obama campaign came for your birthday presents. Then, they wanted your wedding gifts. Now, they’re scouting yard sales for any old waffle irons or board games, especially Twister, which is a personal favorite of Vice President Joe Biden.
What’s next? Before Nov. 6, look for them to be busting into kids’ piggy banks and shaking down lemonade stands. Republicans should counter with empty chair auctions on eBay.
If Biden gets good at Twister, wonder if he can match Bill and Ted, and get the better of the Grim Reaper?
Remember Thistle Pettersen? She’s the Madison, Wisconsin anarchist and musician who appeared in a popular June 7 Call Me Stormy post called “Denial,” wailing about the election results from the night before, in which Wisconsin voters retained Gov. Scott Walker. Turns out that Pettersen had much more to say than got reported in that initial MacIver News Service video. In the interests of complete and total transparency, we’re now presenting Thistle’s full and unexpurgated comments. Her best quote: ”It’s very frustrating to be an anarchist in America.”
“Liberal-minded” adult hecklers shout at NYC school children to “burn in hell” for singing Lee Greenwood’s patriotic song “God Bless the USA.” To add insult to injury, the kids were originally scheduled to perform the song at their graduation ceremony at a Brooklyn grade school, only to be ordered to drop the song by their principal, Greta Hawkins.on the grounds that it might “offend other cultures.” Having rehearsed it for months, the kids instead performed the song on their school playground, and that’s where they were greeted by these bullying moonbats. Need any further proof that the ranks of the left are suffering from an advanced case of progressive dementia? Nice to see the kids chant “U-S-A” to drown out the slugs.
It’s a river in Wisconsin, that runs right through the heart of Madison, dumping somewhere to the left of Dane County into Moonbat Bay.
Sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, you can always count on liberals to find a new and ever-more outrageous way to badmouth America and undermine our values and history. Here’s Libtalker Bill Press, former Democratic Party chairman for the state of California, on why he hates the “stupid and embarrassing” Star Spangled Banner, our National Anthem. What does he propose substituting in its place – Lady Gaga’s “Judas”?
