I got a joke e-mail a few days ago that was very similar to this and my first thought was that this was the same thing.
Apparently, life is stranger than fiction:
Man arrested, cuffed after using $2 billsAs with this case and almost everytime that I get screwed at the drive-though cause they cannot understand NO PICKLES!!, I am reminded that it doesn't take an advanced degree in rocket propulsion theory to work at some places.A man trying to pay a fee using $2 bills was arrested, handcuffed and taken to jail after clerks at a Best Buy store questioned the currency's legitimacy and called police.
According to an account in the Baltimore Sun, 57-year-old Mike Bolesta was shocked to find himself taken to the Baltimore County lockup in Cockeysville, Md., where he was handcuffed to a pole for three hours while the U.S. Secret Service was called to weigh in on the case.
I just bet those Best Buy employees are up for a big commendation from their bosses for this stellar catch....[/talking smack]
Comments on Stupid is as Stupid Does...
I don't know anybody who actually purchases things with two dollar bills. My Grandma collects them, but I've never actually used one. But still, a whole staff at a Best Buy doesn't know about two dollar bills?! I wonder if any of them went to college.

Illegal T-Shirt?
When I first read about this inciden today, I thought naw, it couldn't be the same Bryan I know.
Turns out it was:
Bryan is/was the former editor of UCSD's most excellent humor newspaper The Koala.By the way, Bryan is running for Congress; his site is here. Vote Barton!!

A stunt like this makes him seem like a good candidate for Congress! Shows that he's tough on illegal immigration!

I read that he got kicked out of the Minutemen for giving the guy food and $20 because it was against the rules.
Of course, MMP claims he was off duty when he ran into the guy, but they dumped him anyway. Sounds like they're trying to cover their ass to me.

I don't really see a problem with these guys doing what they're doing... and after giving it some thought I can understand why they let him go.

Shread Thread I
Mikey start another thread where I can blast this a$$hole...
Just a general thread to shread that special someone in the blogsphere...
Comments on Shread Thread I
Do I necessarily like Scoff, or agree with him? No, he can go f*ck himself as far as I'm concerned
Thanks, Mad One, for starting this thread.
I said in the thread about SFC. Smith that I wouldn't use it to get into a pissing contest about the immoral, illegal and needless war in Iraq. I said I'd be happy to oblige anyone who wanted to discuss it further, but not in that thread.
I had no takers. Instead I had little side comments like this one quoted above by frenchie and statements like the one about Superman's views on abortion. (Here's a 'clue', Superman is fiction, like most of the stuff posted in that thread.)
So frenchie, kiss my American ass.
Robert E., aren't you the one who said
no you poor misguided people?
Is that supposed to be some kind of compliment aimed at making us feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
Then you have the audacity to follow it up with
as usual, people with little or no understanding of the real worl resort to insults when confronted by common sense
I can only hope you're including yourself in that dismal picture.
So here's your chance (that would be the general 'you') to educate a lefty. I'm really curious. But I don't want to hear about how we're fighting there so we don't have to fight here unless you can back up the idea that the war in Iraq is stopping terrorists from making an amphibious assault on South Carolina, or that since we're fighting in Iraq there are suddenly no terrorist cells in the US or anywhere else, and I don't want to hear about how the war in Iraq made the Kurds safe unless you can tell me how. In other words, can the rhetoric and epithets and give me reasoned debate.
If I want to hear the stuff that was posted in that thread I can turn on everyone's favorite junkie, Rush Limbaugh.

All Whine, All The Time
When I first saw this yesterday, I thought huh....it'll be another Air America on the net and that was that.
Then I read about it again this morning and how Warren Beatty would be a part of it:
You know....I'm no huge impact on the blogsphere, but I do know this: you cannot just slap down some money on a domain name and think that you'll be a big hit.Blogging in my opinion isn't just sitting down each day and banging out X number of words like so many chimpanzees with typewriters. It takes a commitment to convey your thoughts on all things big and small, famous and infamous, relavent and inane.
And this 'all-liberal' blog will end up like Air America: left-of-center whining that's subsidized by rich patrons of the whining arts.

Perspective: What's on the Midterm?
Sometimes I like to post stuff I see or have seen at school, especially from the student-run newspapers.
This particular article comes from The Muir Quarterly, now simply called 'The MQ' and this is from an issue that came out in September 2003.
Enjoy.

Sam and the Pope
I've written about Sam Kinison before, but was reminded of him when I thought about what the Pope had done for the world.
Sam Kinison and the Pope you say?
Yup. Sam had this bit about how the Pope came down on gay people in San Francisco when he visted in the 80s:
Anyway, I thought I'd post a snippet of Sam back when he was just hitting it big in comedy.Enjoy.
Sam Kinison's Love Song
Comments on Sam and the Pope
Bingo. In all the hoopla over what a great leader this Pope was, very few have spoken out about some of the other legacies he left which are far less than great, not least of which is the cover-up of the child-rape cases by various priests and helping these same priests to evade punishment. There is plenty more that I, quite frankly, found appalling. This article addresses this and other things:
http://www.slate.com/id/2116085/
This article speaks about his efforts to reach out to Jews and to rectify some of the anti-Semitism the Catholic church has promoted. But even there, there was a mixed message:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/obit/pope/polish_experience.html
In all, while he was a "great communicator", I have to say that I think this Pope will go down in history as a detriment to the Catholic church, overall.
|| Posted by Cait, April 5, 2005 08:43 AM ||Sam was a god. I'd love to hear his take on all of the BS in todays world and yes "Robo-Pope" (He loves God and hates crime and he's coming to your town) rocked.

Just when you thought that they couldn't loose their minds any more up in San Francisco, they go and prove you wrong.
From Personal Democracy Forum:
Normally, I don't like to link to forums as a source, but if you follow the link you'll find the actual Board of Supervisors documentation.And if this is a late April Fool's prank, it's a good one cause it just boggles me as to why these kooks would even consider trying to regulate blogging within the city limits.

Passing of a Legend
Didn't post much about this until it was all said & done:
While I'm not Catholic, let alone moderately religious, the Pope's passing is indeed the end of a legend.Rest in Peace Your Holiness. Kick ass & take names up beyond the pearly gates.....
Comments on Passing of a Legend
Cool "factoid" that I heard about the Pope:
He holds the record for being "most seen" in person of anybody in history. 26 years of Popemobiles and crowds of hundreds of thousands adds up to a lot of Pope-peeping.
This is Irish-Catholic country over here in Massachusetts. One of my best friends received communion from Il Papa when came to town in the 1980s. He claims that it was a spiritual highlight of his life.
Very cool, if you ask me.
