"The central fact concerning the death of Keith Vidal, 18, does not seem to be in dispute: after the schizophrenic youngster was tased and restrained by two officers, a third stepped up, said "we don't have time for this", fired into the scrum, then tried to do so again before being restrained. Vidal, who celebrated his birthday last month, was killed by the gunshot..."
"Yet another reason why you should really try your absolutely hardest to settle any non-clearly-life-threatening issues with your family or friends without calling the cops.
The Bearing Arms site has a good compliation of various news reports on how a North Carolina police officer shot and killed teenage Keith Vidal, said to be suffering from schizophrenia, after Vidal had already been tased and was pinned down by two other cops...
Wilsey said officers had his son down on the ground after the teen was tased a few times and an officer said, “we don’t have time for this.” That’s when Wilsey says the officer shot in between the officers holding the teen down, killing his son."

"The law they charged him under was declared unconstitutional by a judge in another county two years ago. The local district attorney says that decision isn't binding in Wilson..."

"A lot of people tell me I need to lower my self-esteem in the service of modesty, credibility, and protecting the sensibilities of those around me. I would like to heed that advice and be a team player, but I'm also plagued with bouts of rationality that are keeping me from making this improvement to my character.
Before I do anything drastic in life, such as evolving into a person who thinks less of himself for the well-being of others, I like to do a pros and cons list. I'll start with the advantages of thinking too much of myself.
It feels great! All the time!
It boosts my testosterone.
It improves my performance at most things. Science agrees.
Higher testosterone makes muscle growth easier.
I take more risks. (This is admittedly a mixed bag.)
I rarely feel embarrassment even when I should. (Such as now, for example.)
I am emotionally immune from criticism.
Cockiness has an aphrodisiac effect on some. (You know who you are.)
Now for the downside of thinking too much of myself...
I take more risks than I probably should.
People call me a dick in every online comments board on the Internet. Higher testosterone increases cancer risks.
Advantage: cockiness (until I get cancer anyway...)"
"When he wasn't sciencing the shit out of everything, Einstein spent his time postulating his wiener into as many women as possible. Even though he was married twice (once to his cousin), he cheated on both of his wives with about 10 different women. Though in his defense, he presented his first wife with a list of rules, one of which was "expect neither intimacy nor fidelity." Einstein would also write to his stepdaughter and wife to tell them which women he was currently sexifying, and sometimes had his stepdaughter act as a messenger to deliver letters to his mistresses, because if you're going to not give a fuck you might as well go all the way...
"I know a lot of you follow politics to the point that you’re probably familiar with Orwellian shitbeast Frank Luntz and his sadly effective brand of conservative doublespeak that has made him a fucking millionaire with six mansions. Six mansions which he’s now sitting around sulking in because no one wants to hire him anymore thanks to Obama tricking America into thinking he’ll pay our mortgages, and not because the Republican party has careened so horribly off of Crazy Mountain that it’s now spending $50 million to make the Tea Party stop saying stupid shit."

When Mozart wasn't writing one of his 600 masterpieces he was writing letters to his female cousin, the contents of which were usually in a basic rhyme scheme and seriously screwed up. There are tons of snippets to choose from out there, but nothing quite sums up Mozart's dirtiness as well as when he told his cousin that he wanted to "shit on her nose" and watch it "drip down her chin."
...The same genius that wrote "Piano Concerto No 24 in C Minor" also wrote a gem called "Lick My Ass," a classical party ballad meant to be sung by six people at a time, and followed it up with a sequel called "Lick My Ass Nice and Clean."
A physicist who has been looking for evidence that causality can go backward in time says he's making progress on nailing down the theoretical foundations for such quantum weirdness. For years, the University of Washington's John Cramer has been trying to set up an experimental apparatus that would demonstrate what's known as "quantum nonlocal communication" — a characteristic of quantum mechanics that implies what you do to one entangled particle could affect what happens to a different particle earlier in time."

"Neil Patrick Harris documented the last day of his vacation trip to Mexico, where he proceeded to drink as many margaritas as he possibly could. The pictures he uploaded of him wasted are absolutely hysterical. "
Okay. That was pretty funny.
