The Deadly Butt Dial

(Jon David Kahn, breitbart.com)

Jonesboro police told Region 8 News that the suspect, 68-year-old Larry Barnett of Jonesboro, was in the process of hiring someone to kill his former employee, when he unintentionally called that same employee, who then overhead the details of how and why Barnett wanted it done. 

Sergeant Doug Formon said, "Basically, he overheard a conversation between that individual and another unknown male and he was giving out his personal information, his address, where he lives." 

According to the affidavit, Barnett told the supposed hit-man, "I don't care if you have to burn his house to the ground with him in it" and to "make it look like an accident." Barnett's reason was reportedly made clear as well: "I owe the little son of a ***** a bunch of money and if he's gone, I don't have to pay for it."

Apparently this wasn't the first time Barnett had considered killing the employee. The target also overheard talk of a previous attempt against him but "they couldn't get the job done." 

The intended victim called police. When officers arrived at the intended target's home, the phone call had been going on for an hour and half. "The conversation on the phone had already ended but the phone call was still active to Mr. Barnett's cell phone."

From now on I will listen to ALL butt calls!

Two Simple Questions

I just have two simple questions regarding this story about a Moose and a shark.  1) How did the Moose get into shark waters and 2) How did the Shark get into Moose waters?

We Are Partially To Blame For This Mess....

After reading this article by Jim Hightower on truth-out.org about how the McDonalds outgoing CEO received a 2012 retirement "bye-bye package" worth some $27-million, while his employees are forced to apply for food stamps and other government help because of Mickey Dee's low wages. Low at the bottom, high at the top.  Where is Mister Obama when we REALLY need him?  Playing golf!

This Sounds Like The "Nuclear Option" To Me

It appears that the Japanese learned a lot from us after WWII...including how to change laws to prevent information (truth) from being shared.  Read this: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/thousands-protest-against-tough-official-secrets-law-japan-121831893.html

Back To Square One For Mr. Holder

Josh Gerstein writing on politico.com says that a federal judge has refused Attorney General Eric Holder's request that he be allowed to proceed now with an appeal in a case where the House of Representatives is seeking to enforce subpoenas for documents related to the controversial Operation Fast and Furious gun investigation.

In a ruling Monday 11/18/13, U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson said her September 30 ruling rejecting Holder's request to dismiss the lawsuit was not such a close call that it deserved immediate review from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.c> Circuit.

"While the court agrees with defendant's characterization of the matter as significant, that is not the test" Jackson wrote in her new four-page decision.  So back to square one Eric.  Only three more years to drag this out before they shield Obama leaves office.  DO NOT LET THIS MAN RESIGN BEFORE FACING CHARGES!!

So The Faked Census Reports Were True.....

This is going to be one of those "I told you so moments".  Back in 2012 when the unemployment rate fell sharply it raised eyebrows from Mainstreet, To Wall Street, to Washington.  Now from a reliable source comes the confirmation that the numbers were "fixed" to borrow from the president's Obamacare vocabulary.  But the worst part is that the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey knew it.

Just two years before the presidential election, the Census Bureau had caught an employee fabricating data that went into the unemployment report, which is one of the most closely watched measures of the economy. (So this person was like a reverse Edward Snowden?!?)  A knowledgeable source who asked to remain anonymous for now but who will talk with the labor Department and Congress if asked, says the deception went beyond that one employee, Julius Buckmon, and that it escalated at the time President Obama was seeking reelection in 2012 and continues today!!  FYI Buckmon said in an interview this past weekend that he was told to make up information by higher-ups at Census!

I guess that some people will do anything to win (see hanging/dimpled chads).

Body Guard Baffonery

Two goons hired for the 2009 wedding of the quarterback and supermodel Gisele Bundchen in Costa Rica have each been sentenced to five years in prison for shooting at two photographers covering the event.

They opened fire after the lensmen snapped pictures from 300 feet away.  Fortunately they were not hit, but the bullets took out the front and rear windows of their SUV just like on some television shows.

“Thank God I’m all right. At that moment, I thought I was going to die,” Rolando Aviles told The Post at the time. “If the bullet had been a little more to the left or right, it would have killed one of us. I said, ‘They’re going to kill us.’ ’’

Aviles said he and colleague Yuri Cortez, both veteran photographers working for an agency, had permission to shoot the ceremony from the owner of the property on which they were standing.  Apparently the goon squad didn't care about any of that and now will have a few years to think about their crime, as well as how they will come up with the $10k fines they were eac h hit with!
