So, outgoing Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour pardoned a bunch of criminals right before he left office. Nothing new there, right?

Well, some of them were convicted of murder, or armed robbery. The fact that they did odd jobs around the Governor's mansion as prison trustees probably had nothing to do with their pardon (sarcasm intended).

Well, it turns out that that those five prisoners, (and 21 other prisoners) didn't meet a filing deadline which requires 30 days public notice that they are seeking a pardon. Presumably, this is so people can testify for or against the pardon.

Well, the other 21 prisoners hadn't been released yet, so they're staying in the greybar hotel for now, but those other five... (four murderers, one armed robber) they're gone. Like a fart in the wind. They're supposed to check in every 24 hours as a condition of their release. They haven't.

Ooooops.

It seems like we go through this every semester, but could you stop pulling fire alarms/setting things on fire in every dorm on campus? Yes, I know it's you, because when the rate of me hearing fire engines goes up completely coincidentally the week you come back to campus, every semester for the last 10 years.... well... you see why I'm blaming you.

If you're going to ride your bicycles on the sidewalk, it's awfully nice to say things like "On your left!" when you're about to speed past me.

Just saying...

Joran van der Sloot: I didn't kill Natalee Holloway. I'm just incredibly goddamned stupid.

And I do think he killed Stephany Flores.

Armed pair held at Central Command base

So yeah, fuckwit one and fuckwit two decide to enter MacDill Air Force Base for 'unknown reasons', but don't have proper ID, but do have a military-style uniforms, weapons, and ammo in their vehicle.

WHY NO, THEY COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE UP TO ANYTHING!

Seriously, this comes across as "Terrorist camp blooper reel" material.

Florida Democratic Representative Alan Grayson gets his shorts in a knot over a blogger. (Yes, I'm linking from FOX News. Get over it.)

Okay, see, he wants this Republican blogger investigated and possibly thrown in jail because... wait for it... the blogger's website URL is "mycongressmanisnuts.com". Is he concerned over a matter of libel? Why no. What then? Why, it's the fact that the world 'my' appears in the URL, and the blogger, Angie Langley, isn't actually one of Grayson's constituents, as Langley doesn't live in Florida's 8th District.



What a shock... he's the Representative for Disney World. The emanations from the magic rat have addled his brain.

Welcome to the Streisand Effect, Mr. Grayson.

Gitmo detainees possibly being moved to South Carolina, so of course, one of our state politicians is losing his fucking mind.

Bobby Harrell, the SC Speaker of the House, doesn't like the idea of moving Gitmo detainees to the North Charleston Naval Brig. Apparently, he's all for protecting SC citizens.

Because, as we all know, the Naval Brig is a large cardboard box with the word "jail" written in crayon on the side, and the security there is a man actually named Gomer Pyle.

Dear Mr. Harrell:

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Obama is not talking about releasing Gitmo detainees on the streets of South Carolina with bus fare and an IED. Get a fucking handle on reality, you posturing douchebag.

Take Scott Gibson, for example. Gets caught speeding by one of those speed cameras. Gets mailed the ticket.

Does he pay it? No. Does he contest the ticket at court? No.

He mails it back saying I don't have to pay this, I work for the CIA.

Unfortunately for Mr. Gibson, he doesn't. So, now, in addition to the $65 speeding ticket, he's been charged with criminal impersonation, and federal charges are pending.

Smooth move.

I mean, seriously, you never hear about the smart criminals. I suppose that's because they are smart, and therefore don't get caught.

Mark Sanford was hiking the Appalachian Trail. No, wait, he was in Argentina. Yeah, Argentina, that's it.

Regardless of where the fuck he was, he left without telling anyone where he was going. His wife didn't know. His kids didn't know. The Lieutenant Governor didn't know. Hell, his bodyguards didn't know.

And not only did he not tell anyone where he was going, he didn't let tell the Lt. Governor that he was taking off, so there was no temporary transfer of power. Thankfully, there were no emergencies that might have required the decision-making powers, such as they are, of the Governor.

This is, after all, the same man, who wanted to refuse $700 million in federal aid because it was part of Obama's stimulus plan. That money was only going (in part) to teachers and education. But, hell, this is South Carolina! The last thing this state obviously needs more of is smart people.

I can only hope his little jaunt to wherever-the-fuck comes back to haunt him again and again so that any hopes for a Presidential run in 2012 end in misery for him.

Too bad Blizzard didn't, I don't know... fix some of the fucking bugs before pushing it through.

Edit: Just so you know I'm not bitching at pointless things, when the world server crashes six times in an hour... something is wrong. I don't think it would have killed them to keep this on the PTR for another week.
