What did they think would happen? Really…
The red-hot rhetoric over Social Security on liberal talkradio network AIR AMERICA has caught the attention of the Secret Service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Government officials are reviewing a skit which aired on the network Monday evening — a skit featuring an apparent gunshot warning to the president!
The announcer: “A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn’t safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here’s your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked].�
The audio production at the center of the controversy aired during opening minutes of The Randi Rhodes Show.
“What is with all the killing?� Rhodes said, laughing, after the clip aired.
“Even joking about shooting the president is a crime, let alone doing it on national radio… we are taking this very seriously,â€? a government source explained.

Some casino camera operators have been accused of using the cameras to ogle women in the Casino. Not sure why this is newsworthy or even why they’re being accused of it. What else is there for them to do? There isn’t always somebody cheating to watch. And why not look at the fine girls when there’s nothing else to be seen?
It seems pretty obvious to me that a bunch of guys running security cameras would do this. I’d do this if I had one of those jobs. Even if it was at a Wal-Mart or something…

I’ve removed the contact page from this site while it’s being hosted on this server. I have installed sendmail but it doesn’t work quite right and takes a really long time to deliver mail. I don’t wanna take the time to properly configure it right now. It all worked fine on my server at home, so once the site is back there, the contact page will return.
I heard today that Mediacom is coming out with an always-on dial-up speed connection. It uses a standard phone line and is always on, so you don’t have to dial-up. Sounds kinda like an ISDN line or something. It’s invite only though, so Mediacom has to invite you to recieve the service. I’d think about getting this if they aren’t able to fix my cable internet. But since I have to be invited, I probably won’t be able to recieve it. It looks interesting though.

A school board or some school administration entity banned backpacks at a highschool. I think they saw it as the only way to stop bomb threats. Aren’t most bomb threats made via phone or some other means of communication? I had no idea backpacks could be used as a communications device.
The funniest thing is, the ban isn’t enforced after school. So there’s kids carrying sports bags and purses inside after school. It’s funny because they think banning backpacks will actually help solve a problem. If they’re gonna make a stupid ass policy like this, then they need to at least enforce it 100% of the time. That would mean no bags of any kind at any time. Stupid, stupid people.
