Australian fined for buckling in beer, not child
AP - Tue May 13, 2:57 PM ET

DARWIN, Australia - An Australian man has been fined after buckling in a case of beer with a seat belt but leaving a 5-year-old child to sit on the car's floor, police said Tuesday.
[...]

Another one of these stories? You would think the last Aussie to get busted would have spread the word a little more.

Oh well. Should he have gotten in a wreck, the beer would have been safe. Kids' injuries will heal. Beer busts open and it spills all over the place.

Put his entire head up for auction and maybe I'll think about bidding. Just so I can have a new soccer ball.

California Wildfire Redux

So I hear all sorts of help is on the way to help with the disastrous fires in California. Red Cross, BLM firefighters, Forest Service, even spare firefighters from around the area. I also heard FEMA is on their way.

Of course there will be all sorts of comparisons to the Katrina disaster, such as how since these are rich white folks, federal aid will get there faster and do more. No surprise there.

I'm sure Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are sharpening their horns and polishing their hooves so they can pop up and start spouting racist bullshit of how the agencies are right on the ball this time since it isn't a bunch of po' folks' homes being destroyed.

Truth is, like I said before, not everyone there is rich white folks, stars, high payed athletes or whatever. Those people are staying in nice hotels or in one of their other homes somewhere safe and sound. No, a lot of the people there are plain old Joe's like many of us around the country. Those are the people needing the help.

What I haven't heard of just yet, are the opportunists or looters. Remember this guy?:



Of course, he may be packing bottled water instead of beer this time.

Man texting while driving hits train

AP - Tue Oct 16, 10:46 PM ET

EUGENE, Ore. - When Robert Gillespie looked up from his text message, he saw a freight train. EOM. ("End of message," that is, for non-texters.) Eugene police say Gillespie's car crashed into the side of the Union Pacific freight train about 2 a.m. Tuesday.

Good, you stupid fuck. Hang up and drive.

Too bad idiots like this aren't removed from the gene pool more often. Trouble is, they usually take innocent people with them.
