GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! Right there, I see you lookin’. Sure hope that you’re not tooken. Don’t get lost in the crowd. This place is so damn wild. LET’S GO TO PRESS.
Remember the Juggalos who were suspected of leaving threatening notes on North Williams businesses? Now the Juggalos are saying they’re being framed, and that the actual culprits are people pretending to be Juggalos. (I’m pretty sure no one pretends to be a Juggalo.)
US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has resigned (read: forced to step down according to the Guardian) after a very shaky tenure which included the way he handled ISIS.
According to their Home Secretary, terrorism in England is hitting an all-time high, and could be getting worse.
Meanwhile Islamic State is actively recruiting (and kidnapping) children, forcing them to train and fight for their cause (this includes sending them on suicide bombing missions).
And professional idiot Senator Rand Paul (a potential Republican presidential nominee) is calling for a formal declaration of war against Islamic State. Because… GOP! WAR!!!
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan put his big stupid foot in his big stupid mouth this weekend when he declared women are not equal to men, and feminists just don’t understand their culture. Poor, poor Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan!!
The jury remains out for the possible indictment of the Ferguson cop who shot Michael Brown, and while the police commander is aiming for a more gentle approach to the protesters, four were arrested over the weekend, including a reporter.
Over the weekend Cleveland police shot a 12-year-old boy brandishing an air gun—even though the person making the 911 call bringing them to the scene told the cops it was “probably fake.”
Bill Cosby now has 17 accusers coming out to say he sexually abused them, and a former NBC employee adds that he brought young women to the star’s dressing room, and paid many of them off.
In sports, someone caught a football.
Now here’s what’s going on in your neck of the woods: Warmer with on and off showers for the rest of the week.
And finally, Golden Retriever vs. German Shepherd in a spaghetti eating contest… ON WHOM DO YOU WAGER?!? (As for the loser, well… at least he finished?)
GOP! WAR!!! Don’t fret, Barry is doing a fantastic job of that (and has been since day one) all without Congressional approval.
And a vague, undefined, unending, worldwide “War on Terror” backed by a the 2002 Authorization of Military Force is is somehow better?
