She was heard to say “Ouch! What did you do that fur?”
A 49-year-old Hoboken man was arrested Tuesday after he beat his girlfriend with a cat and punched her in the back and back of her head, according to police reports.
…The woman told police that they had been dating for two years and he became mad when she did not call him the night before, reports said. When she came to Hoboken to visit her sister, he showed up, yelled at her and grabbed her right arm, reports said. She told him she no longer wanted to date him, and that’s when he picked up the cat and hit her, reports said.
…Police did not know the whereabouts or the condition of the cat.
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Deputies chased a man in a car Tuesday just feet from where children were standing waiting for their school bus, eyewitnesses told WFTV. The driver ended up crashing into a light pole, knocking out power to several homes in Zellwood for a period of time.
Tuesday afternoon, deputies said the driver is George Bush and he is either 47 or 48 years old. Deputies also said Bush only has one leg. Investigators said the car he was driving had been loaned to him by an associate in Lake County.
…The sheriff’s office and one witness said looks were deceiving. The traffic stop was initiated in the area with children around, but the driver suddenly bolted in an enclosed neighborhood where it appeared a chase ensued. In fact, one witness said deputies drove the other way and we’re not able to see the actual crash or the driver run into the woods.
Deputies searched for the driver on horseback after the crash was reported and were not sure why he bolted, but said it was not a chase, just a dangerous man in a busy neighborhood.
Ah, it was only a dangerous man, not a chase.
So that’s how the one legged guy outran the cops on horseback.
US foreclosure activity rose in August from the previous month, and banks and lenders took ownership from homeowners at a record pace, according to a new report released Thursday.
Bank repossessions, often the final step in the foreclosure process after a home fails to sell at auction, increased about 2 percent from the month before to 95,364, a record high. At the same the number of properties that received default notices—the first step in the foreclosure process—decreased 1 percent from a month ago and fell 30 percent from a year ago, a sign that lenders are focusing on their backlog of foreclosure inventory before tackling new distressed loans, according to foreclosure listing website RealtyTrac, which released the report.
Hey, did you know Obama has Nobel Prize winners in his Cabinet?
Marked for death: Artist behind “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” forced to change identity
Remember, after her idea took off online, so frantically worried was she about her offense to jihadis that she apologized for it and distanced herself from any participation. Too late, alas. The lesson: Appeasement after the fact of the insult won’t work. Actually, appeasement before the fact won’t work either. If it did, Terry Jones’s non-burning of the Koran wouldn’t be part of Khamenei’s weekly Two Minutes Hate and it wouldn’t have already been the pretext for a body count in Afghanistan. But then, that’s how self-censorship progresses. Whereas before you were apt to get stabbed for drawing Mohammed cartoons, now you’re apt to get stabbed for suggesting (then retracting) that Mohammed cartoons should be drawn.
When asked for a comment, Justice Breyer said “don’t try hiding behind my robe, biatch.”
No, it’s not the headline on some MSNBC story, it’s an actual group…that are supporting a Democrat
Long-time Gregg chief of staff joins former Executive Councilor on ‘Republicans for Lynch’
By TOM FAHEY AND JOHN DISTASO
New Hampshire Union Leader
CONCORD – Veteran Republicans Joel Maiola and Bernie Streeter are among the leaders of “Republicans for John Lynch,” the governor’s campaign announced Wednesday afternoon.
Maiola, who will co-chair the group, is the former chief of staff to Sen. Judd Gregg and has been active in GOP politics for decades. He has also been involved in the upper echelons of the presidential campaigns of George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush.
Streeter is a former Mayor of Nashua and former long-time Executive Councilor.
When New Hampshire RINOs get scared…they turn to Lynch-ing.
The protester who burned pages from the Koran outside a planned mosque near Ground Zero has been fired from NJTransit, sources and authorities said Tuesday.
Derek Fenton’s 11-year career at the agency came to an abrupt halt Monday after photographs of him ripping pages from the Muslim holy book and setting them ablaze appeared in newspapers.
NJTransit’s management should be fired, and this guy must get his job back.
He had access to your teen’s passwords…and he used it
We entrust Google with our most private communications because we assume the company takes every precaution to safeguard our data. It doesn’t. A Google engineer spied on four underage teens for months before the company was notified of the abuses.
David Barksdale, a 27-year-old former Google engineer, repeatedly took advantage of his position as a member of an elite technical group at the company to access users’ accounts, violating the privacy of at least four minors during his employment, we’ve learned.
But really, you can trust them to be the “third half of your brain.”
I think one of the great things about this is it shows how out of touch the national Republican leadership is, how they’ve become entrenched and calcified as a permanent party machine as opposed to standing for something crazy and wild like, oh, I don’t know, principles or some such silliness. O’Donnell certainly has her warts, but they may not be as large and cancerous as the MSM and Beltway Republicans have painted them; they’re running scared, and that’s a damned good thing in my book.
In a theoretical world would I prefer a Castle in the Senate whose vote I could count on say 50% of the time to a Coons who you know would vote against you 100% of the time? Well, I suppose in theory that would seem attractive and logically secure. But as one of my favorite lines from a book says “the problem with logic is that it allows you to be wrong with confidence.”
It seems to me the reality has always been with these RINOs that on the really really important votes they always side with the their Inner Lefty. They like the fawning press they get for styling themselves modern-day Daniel Websters, I suppose; issues, principles, budget restraint, limiting government…not so much.
I want these old faded incumbents out. We need to gut the Party machinery at all levels and return it to limited government principles and actions. If any of these candidates who get in drift into tax-and-spend, they need to go.
WICHITA, Kan. (AP)—The Justice Department is targeting more than 60 hunters across the nation for allegedly poaching deer during guided hunts at Camp Lone Star in Kansas, a court document shows.
The scope of the grand jury investigation, believed to be one of the largest criminal prosecutions involving the illegal taking of deer, was made public in a court filing Monday in the federal government’s case against the camp’s owner and his brother, both of Martinsville, Texas.
…“The state of Kansas has paid out over $100,000 to independent contractors to thin the Kansas deer herd for management purposes,” Kerns said in an e-mail. “And now our tax money is being spent making federal cases out of alleged rednecks who supposedly harvest an extra deer.”
…Their court filing noted the government alleges more than 60 hunters illegally killed more than 119 deer between the 2005-2008 hunting season, including the taking of 70 trophy white-tail bucks.
Your tax dollars at work, folks.
Unbelievable, and yet further evidence that we need to completely shake-up DC. It’s a long process but it starts this November.
Last week we saw a Florida Pastor – with 30 members in his church – threaten to burn Korans which lead to riots and killings in Afghanistan. We also saw Democrats and Republicans alike assume that Pastor Jones had a Constitutional right to burn those Korans. But Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer told me on “GMA” that he’s not prepared to conclude that — in the internet age — the First Amendment condones Koran burning.
If Republicans sweep the House and win key Senate seats in November, it’s not just elected Democrats who will be unemployed — more than 1,500 Democratic staffers could lose their jobs, with layoffs stretching from low-wage staff assistants to six-figure committee aides.
…“I think people underestimate how disastrous this could be,” said one House Democratic aide, whose member faces an uphill climb. “The job pool could shrink tremendously, and then the available jobs will be in very high demand. All sorts of people who are overqualified for things could be looking for jobs.”
Communist Cuba will shift hundreds of thousands of state employees to the private sector in 2011 as the government prunes more than 500,000 workers from its payroll.
The official trade union federation said on Monday that eventually more than a million jobs would be cut.
“Job options will be increased and broadened with new forms of non-state employment, among them leasing land, co-operatives and self-employment absorbing hundreds of thousands of workers in the coming years,” the union statement said.
The NYT talks about “fun-employment,” so I guess the Fidel and Raoul Show has “sun-employment.”
What else? I must be talking about celebrities! Yes, Dear Readers, that concerned intellectual Oprah, who for years has been tearfully touting “A Green Truth“ and preaching to us about how bad we all are and how we are destroying the Gaia Spiritual Mother with our evil Bushy McHitlerstein consumerism…well, that’s all so 2008 and Hope and Changey, now ain’t it? Those days are gone, sucka, ‘cos now the Queen of Wrapping You In Her Balloony Bosomy Embrace is flying her entire studio audience to Australia
Oprah Winfrey kicked off her farewell Season in true Oprah fashion by surprising her audience with a big gift: She will be taking all 300 audience members on a trip down under to Australia.
“We’re…going…to…AUSTRALIA!!!!” Oprah announced to a shrieking crowd as confetti fell and her set was transformed into a mini airport, complete with a plane and worker with glow sticks to guide it on to the set.
…”Let’s say hello again to captain (John) Travolta,” Oprah said, as she introduced the celebrity pilot of their trip. Travolta is a licensed Quantas Airline pilot and has been helping Oprah plan the trip for over a year.
But I’m sure she’ll drive around Chicago in a Prius to offset the trip.
Global Environmental Crises are for the Little People.
I uploaded 14 more videos to YouTube from the 9/12 St Louis Tea Party, plus a few quick Blue Angel clips from 9/11 at Scott AFB, so just look up crusaderf8u on YouTube. Also a couple clips of the Sea Harrier at Fair St Louis from 7/3. These were all shot using a Sony Cybershot W290. Shoots 720p video, just can’t adjust the zoom while shooting video.
He let Bob Schieffer ride roughshod over him with the “tiny 2 1/2%” figure, as far a small businesses with a gross over $250,000 being impacted by the Bush tax cut extension. And that really does sound awfully indefensible, right, when you put it that way? You could see Boehner wanting to stick a finger in his collar, swallow hard and having to resort to “equal for ALL Americans”, before he got lassoed into saying he’d vote for the reduced extension. But he didn’t have to do that.
He could have nailed Schieffer and that argument like Van Helsing at dawn in Père Lachaise.
That’s almost a MILLION small businesses, who have ~ AT THE VERY LEAST ~ ONE employee. If they’re grossing over $250K, I’d say there’s a damn good bet they’ve got more than that, so DO THE MATH, John. They even ask some of the folks in their interview, “How many jobs is that tax increase going to cost?”
These guys are their own worst enemies sometimes, I swear to God. We’ve got 350 MILLION people here~ to quote my hero, 2.5% of ANYTHING‘s a BFD. USE the numbers.
Or at least watch the news once in a while.
UPDATE: Ed says rank and file Dems are putting the hammer down, so perhaps the damage is minimal.
When all the foaming mouths turn and start snapping on each other!
Makes my leg tingle.
UPDATE: As LC notes, the video’s been removed ~ if you take a second to read the short transcript HERE, you’ll probably understand how I found it so…tinglelishous.
UPDATE: And, running against Granny Rictus McBotox…
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS REMAIN NEAR 150 MPH…240 KM/HR…WITH

Can we just go for the electable guy and go RINO hunting later? We can win this seat, folks. We are within reach of the Senate, so lets not throw away a gimme.
…promising us a report and video later, as his sunburned brain permits. For a teaser, he sends this fuzzy cell phone pic:
Is that November I see from the bank?
Just got another text ~ he’s saying they got twelve thousand folks out. Maybe that IS November…{8^P

Retiring U.S. Senator George Voinovich will break ranks with fellow Republicans and provide the crucial 60th vote needed in the Senate to pass President Barack Obama’s small business lending package, an aide said Friday.
