America’s not just about pepper-spray-enhanced “competitive shopping” — it’s also about good ol’ fashioned mêlées over two-dollar waffle makers. You can’t help but love America. But only at a safe distance.

Mic Check! Im Drew from internet. We would like to propose tonight the purchase of occupywallstreet.net for the use of all of us. It is time sensitive because the person who owns it desperately wants to sell it and will sell it to anybody but we have put a stop on that for the day. I realize that this is a weird situation, but we would rather that you own it than say the Koch brotherss. The amount is $8,000. Just so everyone knows, we are about to take a temp check, not on the proposal, but on having it being addressed now based on the time situation.

F: (temp check mixed)

If for some reason you don’t qualify for the handgun class at Keller’s Riverside Store in Mason, Texas, might we suggest instead a genuine Wood-Carved Bottle Stopper as a token of your visit?

God’s honest truth: When we first saw this Army poster – yes, it’s real – we thought the story would be about using kitties for improvised explosives.

And the second thing we thought was highly inappropriate.

Anyway, once you’re done giggling – really, it’s okay, how can you not? – here’s the sobering background:

The Army is redoubling its search for anyone who might have been bitten by a wild animal in Iraq or Afghanistan following the Aug. 31 death of a soldier from rabies, the service’s public health command stated Wednesday…

Spc. Kevin Shumaker, 24, became the first soldier to die from rabies since 1967 after he was bitten by a stray dog in Afghanistan.

Even worse: Shumaker actually received thee of six shots. But the final three had expired.

So yes, this is very serious business, and shame on you for thinking otherwise.

But still.

Rank: 60

Blurb: “A five-year veteran of the DOJ and a key attorney in pursuing the New Black Panther voter intimidation case, Adams recounts the shocking story of how a once-storied federal agency, the DOJ’s Civil Rights division has degenerated into a politicized fiefdom for far-left militants, where the enforcement of the law depends on the race of the victim.”

Review: “Christian Adams is an American Brutus.”
