Plane Crashes

Recently, a plane run by Afriqiyah Airlines crashed in Tripoli, Libya killing more than 60 people. There was a single survivor, a 10-year old boy, whom the last time I heard was still in critical condition. Naturally, the media hails his survival as a “miracle.” When is the media going to stop referring to these incidents as miracles? You know what this really means? It means God lost out on a no-hitter in the 9th inning.

Facebook
I had someone who I knew many years ago send me a friend request on Facebook and asked me if I was really “anti-Christ.” I thought this was kind of an odd question because while having been accused of being the anti-Christ (after all, my first, middle & last name all have 6-letters in them), I’ve never been asked if I’m against Christ. So, I sent an e-mail to this guy asking what he meant.
He responded that on my Facebook page it said under political views I was anti-Christ. I kindly responded that it says I’m an ANARCHIST, meaning I’m all for overthrowing the government (but not by violent means).
The good thing about Facebook is that you can pick and choose who you want to give access to your page. Needless to say, I didn’t give this person access to my page because A: I didn’t remember them as being the sharpest knife in the drawer, and B: it wasn’t like I was friends with them back in the day anyway.

Another fun thing about Facebook is that you can see guys who are now grey haired and/or bald, while you still have a full head of hair…although graying.

Arizona
As you know, the Arizona legislature passed an immigration law into effect recently that basically allows law enforcement to racially profile non-whites (read: Mexicans). It’ll be interesting to see how this law plays out. I know there is an immigration problem in this country, but I don’t think racial profiling is the way to go.

It was announced this week that in a related law, you can now only fry beans once.

The Times Square Bomber

How about this fucking guy? Guy has lived in U.S. for several years…for whatever reason, decides he’s going to become a jihadist…goes back home to Pakistan where he learns how to assemble a car bomb…comes back to the U.S. where he now buys a car, fills it with a bomb (built incorrectly it appears), and tries to blow up Times Square. One problem…the guy did everything but leave a video behind saying he did it and how to find him.

The bomb apparently didn’t work because he had the wrong type of fertilizer. It seems that the really explosive type can’t just be bought anywhere because of one Mr. T. McVeigh. You may remember him from Oklahoma City.

Then this guy walked away from the car (apparently he didn’t want to go so far as to blow himself up), but left not only the keys to the car in the vehicle, but also his freaking apartment keys! Duh!

And to top everything off, he missed “erasing” the VIN number off the engine block and NYC police were able to track him down within hours.

Remember the good old days when the terrorists stayed in Europe and the Middle East and blew themselves up there?
