Billions of cicadas about to overrun eastern United States in once-in-17-years booty call.
FBI agents believe “a terror attack was disrupted” when they arrested 24 year old Buford Rogers at his western Minnesota mobile home filled with Molotov cocktails, pipe bombs and firearms.
It appears that Rogers is either the founder or a member of an upstanding sounding group known as the Black Snake Militia.
The same company that sold that bleeding Obama firing range dummy also markets another firing range dummy called “The Ex”, barely clothed woman to use at the firing range which will ‘bleed’ when shot.
There have been so many hasty and opportunistic reactions to the famed Oregon Medicaid study that containing the spread of misinformation is a bit like standing athwart a tsunami yelling “stop!” Moreover, people like Aaron Carroll and Austin Frakt are much more qualified to comment on it and have been doing an excellent job, so I’d really recommend you read their recent posts on the subject.

At this weekend’s NRA convention you could buy ‘Obama’ mannequins designed for use as target practice which actually bleed when shot.

McAuliffe, as a candidate as opposed to someone known by political insiders, is relatively unknown and not terribly connected to President Obama. But having said all that, WTF? This is a pretty daunting poll for Democrats. (The poll finds Cuccinielli running 5 points ahead of McAulliffe.) Not because it’s necessarily dispositive about this race but because the extremely damaged GOP brand just doesn’t seem to matter as much as some seem to expect. If you’re not familiar with Ken Cuccinelli he’s basically the avatar of all the GOP’s most extreme positions. And yet he’s running a few points ahead of the Democrat in this race, albeit hardly a strong candidate.
On March 10th, Middlefield, Ohio police made what appeared to be a routine traffic stop of a man who had run a stop sign.

Amazingly the two officers in the cruiser sustained only relatively minor injuries and fired off 54 rounds of their own, eventually killing Gilkerson.
You can see the shocking and somewhat disturbing dash-cam video released by local police just this weekend here. Read More
