It would have been funnier if RT bought it. Now there is some entertaining nuts.

I like Peter Lavelle. He's like a Russian Colbert, only he's totally serious.

Dear users,

Writing database queries on my part is not an optimal method of correcting typos on your part.

Thank you,

For DGuller and the rest of the Euro nitwits that don't believe bullets can kill coming back down to Earth:

10-year-old struck in New Year's celebratory shooting dies
Girl had been in critical condition in Del. After Cecil Co. incident

A 10-year-old girl struck by a stray bullet fired in the air during New Year's Eve celebrations died Thursday as a result of her injuries, the Cecil County Sheriff's Office said.

The girl, identified by police as Aaliyah Boyer, had been in critical condition on life support at A.I. DuPont Children's Hospital in Wilmington.

Cecil County Sheriff's Office Lt. Michael Holmes said the girl, a resident of Manheim, Pa., was standing in the yard of a relative's home in the unit block of AJS Court in Elkton, watching neighbors set off fireworks, when she suddenly collapsed. A bullet of unknown caliber had struck her on the top of her head, Holmes said.

Investigators do not know where the bullet came from and have no suspects. Neighbors have told authorities they heard a lot of fireworks and gunshots at about midnight, about the time the girl was struck.

"It's our belief that celebratory gunfire caused a wound to the head," Holmes said.

Detectives continue to look for leads for a suspect.

"It's being treated as a homicide investigation now," Holmes said.

Officer Faked Drunken-Driving Cases

'A former trooper of the year is accused of falsifying dozens of arrests during her 10-year career.'

Link.

Oops.

I told her: 'You're making the biggest mistake of your life. I haven't had nothing to drink,' " Mr. Romero recalled in an interview.

I'd arrest him again for egregiously using hyperbole and double-negatives. 

I dunno.  Falsifying evidence to bring bad charges, and getting caught for it, would be the biggest mistake in most people's lives.

It is being reported that the Saudi's are using thier jets in air strikes in Yemen to support the drone strikes.

Allahu Ackbar.

She'll have all the time in the world to think about it when she embarks on her new career at Denny's.

Did the bullet ricochet off something and then hit her, or did go up in the air, expend all of it's kinetic energy and then fall back down?

I don't know, Raz.  Why don't you give it a try?

[The Larch]

Nah. I've seen on American TV shows stuff with people's rooms getting turned into gyms and all that. That isn't in the culture of people around here though. People's bedrooms generally remain their bedrooms and its left up to them to eventually strip them of everything worthwhile.

I don't think you can make a general rule out of that, as each family will be completely different. I haven't had a room of my own at my parent's place since I was 20, on the ocasions that I sleep there I either use the guest bedroom or sleep at my brother's room if he's not there. Furthermore, if you say that your house is small that's a bigger reason to have the available space put to productive use instead of keeping a room frozen in time for you when you've been out of the country for years. As long as you still have a place to sleep there when you return it's ok, you're not really living there anymore even if you don't want to admit it.

I don't know, Raz.  Why don't you give it a try?

All right, I'll come over to your place and you give me your gun and I'll shoot it up in the air.

I'd much rather line up you, Timmay and Lettow and see how far one bullet can go through three moron melon heads.  Call it a scene out of Ed Anger's List.
