Sunday provides the a fresh start for the week. California is going to need the time to reflect on the $8 Million that was just awarded to a California man who hit wild pigs on a California Highway. The jury decided that his B.A.C. being over .10 had nothing to do with the accident.

Rolling Death Mobile

Welcome to the People’s Republic of China.The worlds most populated country and home to the new Death Mobile. Due to the expected rise of executions (estimated 10,000 for this year), the Chinese found a Nazi Tool that may have use for themselves.

Jinguan Auto created the high tech execution mobile. The $86,000 van can reach speeds of 80 M.P.H. and looks like a police vehicle on patrol on the outside. On the inside, it looks like a high tech operating theatre.

Every execution is monitored by video to make sure that procedure is followed to perfection. So it would be possible to describe an execution to the slightest detail.

The vans actually started trial runs over the last 3 years and all media on the vans were suppressed during the Olympics to prevent complaints about human rights. Now they are being deployed across all of China. “These vans will deters others from committing crimes and has more impact,” said one official.

The Nazi’s used to have the “Gas Wagon,” that they use to slaughter criminals, the mentally ill, and the Jews. They adapted vans to be mobile gas chambers from the 1940′s through the end of the second World War.

I am the LAW, now pass me a drink.

AT&T Sings a Sad Song to the RIAA

For the last few years the RIAA has been throwing their weight around at ISP’s and typically the ISP would buckle to their demands. Typically the RIAA would want the suspected thieves internet access temporarily blocked and notice sent that they have been caught.

Well the balance of power has changed and one major provider in internet services told the RIAA to stuff it. Jim Cicconi, a senior executive Vice President at AT&T, says that a lot of purported relationship with the music industry is just untrue.

Cicconi said, “AT&T is not going to suspend or terminate anyone’s policy without a court order.” He wants to make sure that his customers are aware that they won’t buckle, unless a judge orders them too.

On Tuesday, the Leadership Music Digital Summit was taking place, when Cicconi confirmed that they would send notices to individuals that are accused of pirating music by the RIAA.

The RIAA has been trying to implement a graduated response program for repeat offenders, but there has been some confusion on what it involves. It remains up to the ISP’s to decide on the plan of action and implementation. Of course the RIAA’s ideal program would have the service suspended for a limited time for “Chronic” offenders.

“We’re pleased to be in constructive discussions with several ISPs,” said an RIAA spokesman. “We’re making important progress, and doing so in a manner consistent with everyone’s respective priorities. We’re grateful that some of the industry’s leading executives came to Nashville and talked through these important issues.”

AT&T confirmed that on Weds, they are attaching a “cover letter,” along with the RIAA’s cease and desist notice. The cover letter does contain a clause that does state the company can terminate the service, but that just a legality.

“It’s a standard part of everybody’s terms of service,” Cicconi said. “If somebody is engaging in illegal activity, it basically gives us the right to do it…We’re not a finder of fact and under no circumstances would we ever suspend or terminate service based on an allegation from a third party. We’re just simply reminding people that they can’t engage in illegal activity. What we do is send notices and keep track of violations and IP addresses,” Cicconi said. “It’s our view that any stronger action has got to rest with the copyright owner…That’s what the courts are there for.”

Chris Brown is saying that when Rihanna tossed a cell phone at him, she “attacked him.” Its a 6 oz. phone and its not going to hurt that much, its no excuse for what he did to her. He entered a plea of “self defense” at his arraignment.

I mean its not like Rihanna is a Ninja who had a sword, she tossed a cell phone. Next thing you’ll know it will be an insanity plea.

My name’s Chris Brown and I live in myself and thanks to Nickelodeon for letting me win another award from Kids and being a “good” role model.

Tough Times Calls for $3 Showdowns!

Daniel Winter, 26, called a friend to pick him up at 3 a.m. after spending all night at Calendar Girls in Port Richey, FL. Ashley Decicco, 18, and her boyfriend Shaun Nater, 30, picked up Winter and then headed over to the nearest Burger King for some late night grubbing.

As they head home on U.S. Highway 19, Ashley asked for $3 in gas money. Winter was sitting in the backseat of the car said no, because Rent was due. The 2 argued until Winters smacked Ashley while she was driving the car.

Nater decided that it was time to act and punched Winters. Winters, being a resourceful man grabbed a fish tank that was sitting in the back seat and started to hit Nater with it, but Nater still fought back. Winter then grabbed a beer bottle and started to strike Naters with it until he was able to wreslte it away. Since turn about is fair play, Naters took the bottle and beat Winters until the bottle broke.

Ashley with quick thinking pulled into a Denny’s Parking lot and called the police. Both men were arrested and charged with battery with a deadly weapon and have a $10,000 bail.

Fish Store Smells like Death

Pet Plus USA received a surprise in there delivery on Tuesday morning. An employee for the store attempted to pick up a delivery of exotic fish on monday night, but was turned away when he couldn’t provide correct id.

Tuesday morning Mark Arabia was successful in picking up his delivery from US Airways. When they got back to the Philadelphia store, they opened the package to find a dead body inside.

Jon Kenoyer, 65, was on his way to Lifequest in Allentown for research on Alzheimers. His body was eventually sent to the research facility. “At first, I was in the state of shock that they messed up to begin with, I wondered where he was going or how he got there,” Kenoyer’s widow Mary Ellen said. “And then I started to laugh because he was one that always did practical jokes and I said this was the last joke on us.”

Your Laws Don’t Apply Here. I Make the Laws

Scott Witmer, 44, from Allen Township walked into to a Northhampton County Court wearing a Coors Light Sweatshirt and decided to deliver the best defense possible.

Witmer told Judge Leonard Zito, “I don’t live in the state of Pennsylvania. I am a sovereign man.” He was arrested back in August of 2008, after police were called out to his home on Adams St, due to a domestic violence call. He allegedly drove drunk from his home, while police where still at the residence filling out paperwork, after the officers warned him not to drive the car. He was also charged with lack of insurance, non legal plates and driving on a revoked license.

Witmer submitted a 20 page legal motion in December that backed his defense. he stipulated that the charges against him were unconstitutional and a “blatant act of Tyranny. Judge Zito asked that James Connell represent Connell later in the day when his bail hearing would be held. “I’m alarmed that you may be a danger to yourself or our community,” Zito said. The judge also ordered Witmer to undergo a psych eval, which Witmer replied with a witty reply, “I’ve already had five of those done on me in prison, it’s no big deal.”

Witmer had been free on unsecured bail. Zito set the new amount at $25,000, with $2,500 needed for release.

If not, please do it responsibly and make sure I get to hear about it. Since its Arizona and we have a superbly strict D.U.I. Policies. I thought I’d share some wonderful stories from around the web.

I Walked a straight line I swear!!

Greenville Middle Academy in Greenville, South Carolina had to call the police about a minor car accident that happened in a pickup line in their “pick up” line. Police arrested Marcia Peyrouse Gaines, 49, when they asked for her license and registration, she fumbled around and seemed unsteady on her feet.

Greenville Police Cpl. Jason Rampey said, “In this case, when she went to present her identification — her driver’s license — to the officer, she presented a credit card. That is one observation he made which led him to believe that something is not right here and he looked into the matter further.”

After the police man detected a scent of alcohol they conducted a field sobriety test, which of course Marcia failed. Her results from a blood-alcohol test was nearly 3 times the legal limit.

Rampey said, “I think one of the things that is so egregious about this is that there were kids present and so many other people present in this line.”

He said that the lesson is a simple one: “People use common sense. If you’re going to drink, don’t drive.”

OMG Run… It’s a Tank!!!

The town of Bergen got a little scare this Friday morning, when a British soldier decided to steal 2 small tanks from his northern German base.

“He had a blood alcohol content of 1 promille – past the legal driving limit in Germany – and decided he’d like to take one of the vehicles out of camp,” British Army spokesperson Helga Heine said. “At some point he wrecked the tank, got out, went back and got another one and drove it in the same direction, hitting a tree before he was stopped.”

The young soldier of 18 years old, stole 2 light tanks. Luckily before he reached the town of Bergen, British MP’s were able to stop him, as he almost rammed an oncoming car and running a patrol car off the road. He lost control of the tank and slammed into a 75 centimetre thick tree.

“We all got the giggles when we read this,” Heine told The Local. “But stealing a vehicle is a serious offense it will be dealt with accordingly.”

Speeding, that was the wind…I must go to a meeting now.

2nd Grade teacher Emilee Crow found herself sitting in handcuffs becuase she took it too far after being stopped in a Watauga School zone. She has since been placed on administrative leave due to this incident.

Police said Crow threw a temper tantrum during the ten-minute stop, which was recorded by police. She was caught speeding in a school zone, and decided to say:

“I’m a freaking teacher, and usually, usually you guys have some idea about that,” within minutes, the officer said Crow became more belligerent by throwing her driver’s license and insurance card onto the street. She decided then that it was time for her to leave.

“You’re setting a wonderful example right here in a school zone being a teacher cussing at me and yelling and screaming at me,” said the police officer (heard from his video footage). Crow fishtailed her car and almost hit the officer, which is when he decided to make the arrest. “You’re not going to make an example out of me in front of every [expletive] parent in school,” she said back to the officer.

My thought on this…is no need to make an example out of you…You’ve done a great job making yourself look like an ass.
