Yesterday etc…

I know I promised to blog about the plate match yesterday, but this ain’t it. Sorry about that. It’s coming, I promise.

I went to visit my mom at the “nursing center” yesterday. My dad and brother were there as were two of my nephews and a neice. I had the three kids with me as usual, having just picked them up from my oldest brothers house since he had graciously agreed to watch them while I was at the plate match.

My mom was awake and was able to talk, but very weak. I had to get close to her and concentrate to hear her above the noise the oxygen machine was making. It was a good visit.

…and then mom’s cranky roommate started complaining about the kids making noise. I distinctly heard her telling a nurse she called with her call button that “Someone should teach those kids some manners!” Now I’ll admit they can be loud, especially the boy, but in general they are very well behaved kids. I get people telling me how well behaved they are all the time. But still they are little kids. What am I supposed to do? If this bitch had her way, I guess I should just not take the kids to see their dying grandmother.

I have to admit to imagining a Greyhound bus flattening her (the roommate, not my mom), is that wrong?

So the rest of the visit we shushed the kids whenever they got much above a whisper to keep from offending the bitch’s delicate sensabilities.

Oh, and one more thing… This same old fart will play her TV so loud that my Dad can’t communicate with my Mom when he visits, which is everyday, almost the entire day. And she has the balls to complain about my kids being a little loud when they come down to see their grandmother?

Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest.

Sex with hookers isn’t fun

Or at least that’s what one “Only One” would like you to believe. He was just doing his job, don’t ya know, and by gosh, if that involved having sex with a hooker, then he’d just have to take one for the team.

Give me a break!

A suspended Texas police officer testified Thursday that he was forced to have sex with two prostitutes during an undercover sting operation, saying he was “paid to do it.”

Officer Keith Breiner testified in Beaumont, Texas, during a hearing to be reinstated after he was suspended along with another officer after it came to light that the men engaged in sex acts with prostitutes while on the job, the Beaumont Enterprise reports.

“If you are asking if I had an orgasm, yes. It was a job, sir,” Breiner reportedly said during testimony. “I didn’t have pleasure doing this. I was paid to do it.”

Breiner admitted to being manually stimulated as well as engaging in oral and vaginal sex with two women at two spas during an undercover sting operation, the Enterprise said.

Police Chief Frank Coffin contends that Breiner and fellow officer Lt. David Kiker were suspended indefinitely after the sex acts came to light, the paper said. Breiner is trying to stop Beaumont from suspending him, saying that he was asked to have sex as part of the job.

.40 Caliber Terror

It was and is a heinous crime, but this smacks of desperation and big brother. Two little girls were shot and killed with a .40 caliber Glock and now the Police have combed the local pawn shops to find out who owns that type of gun in the area and had most of the guns tested “voluntarily.” So, what’s the penalty for not allowing your gun to be tested without a court order?

Personally, I’d have to see a court order first. Not that I’d have anything to hide, it’s the principle of the thing. I love how they automatically go after the people who bought their guns legally and the lamenting that the state doesn’t have a gun registry.

It was a .40-caliber Glock.

…

In a state that doesn’t require gun registration, officials have had to canvas local pawn shops to check sales records for Glocks. They compiled a list of 60 gun owners and tested the weapons of about 40 last weekend. But they still need to test more.

…

Officials said they were checking up with the remaining 20 gun owners to see why they chose not to have their weapons tested. “We just want people to cooperate so we can find this weapon, and then the person who had it in his hand,” Brown said.

As if I needed another reason not to vote for him

A text message with the announcement will be sent to Obama’s supporters sometime Saturday morning. Both men are expected to appear at a rally later that day in Springfield, Illinois.

Attention Wordpress Users

I have to say something about my newest favorite plugin Wordpress Automatic Upgrade. This has automated my upgrading process almost completely. Now all I have to do is click a few links on the screen and I’m upgraded. Compare that to logging in via FTP and first deleting files, then uploading the new ones. All the while making sure I delete the correct ones and not something vital that’ll hose my whole blog.

I can’t reccomend this plugin enough!

Nightmares

I had a dream last night where I went to the Plate Match tomorrow morning and when it came time for me to shoot, my gun fell apart and I couldn’t get it back together again.

So, what do you think? Is there some deeper meaning to this or am I reading too much into it?

Yeah, that’s probably it.

A shocking attack!

Here’s a truly shocking story from my neck of the woods. I have to admit to stealing the title for this post from the local TV station. Oh well… I wonder how soon before the usual suspects start howling for “Stun Gun Control”.

HILLSBORO, Ore. — A shoplifter who stole two mp3 players from a Target store used a stun gun on a security guard Wednesday, police said.

Hillsboro police said a man walked into the store, hid two mp3 players in his pockets and then walked out.When a security guard confronted him in the parking lot, the shoplifter pulled out a stun gun.The shoplifter shoved the stun gun into the woman’s arm, delivering a jolt strong enough to knock her to the ground, officers said.

Not to denigrate the local rent-a-cop (wanna be only ones), but most of the store security guards I’ve seen around here look like this:

How they’d catch anyone is a mystery.
