Have you lost a piece of your scalp in Washington State recently? If so, the police would like a word with you.

The discovery of what is apparently a piece of human scalp has got puzzled police knocking on doors Pasco, Washington to try to determine the source.

‘At this point it appears to be human,’ police Capt. James Raymond said Tuesday.

He added: ‘We’re taking a leap that the person it belongs to probably is not alive.’

LOL, probably is not alive? Well, I suppose there’s an off chance someone is running around without a portion of their scalp .. ?

Resident Eriberta Salinas said her 4-month-old puppy Clifford brought home the apparent piece of scalp with reddish hair on Sunday, from a back yard in the neighborhood.

Police went door to door in the neighborhood in this central Washington town for about five hours on Monday, to ask neighbors if they had seen any red-haired strangers in the area lately.

UPDATE:
Test Results on Scalp Found in Pasco Shows Tissue is from a Red Bovine, and not Human

House #1
A 20 room mansion ( not including 8 bathrooms ) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool ( and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more energy than the average American household does in a year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400. In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern ‘snow belt’ area. It’s in the South.

House #2
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university. This house incorporates every ‘green’ feature current home construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet ( 4 bedrooms ) and is nestled on a high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground.
The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape.

Ain’t that an inconvenient truth Algore?

Just conjecture.  I’m not sure what the election rules are with respect to delegates or even being allowed to remain on the ballot.

I suddenly find that Ron Paul is a HELL of a lot better than the remaining choices.

Can he remain on the ballot?

John McCain’s victory speech today was like a textbook recitation of conservative principles, and he promised to govern as a conservative, addressing entitlement spending, making the tax rate cuts permanent, and so forth.  He also promised to stop illegal immigration, in no uncertain terms.
If he was telling the truth about what he actually believes, why did he do all that “maverick” stuff and do all the betrayal of his fellow Republicans?
Was he trying to fool the MSM into supporting him because he appeared to go counter the the conservatism the lefties fear?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Bwahahahaha…

Bwahahahaha…
H/T Denny at Grouchy Old Cripple
Wait, have I Bwahahahaha’d… yet? LOL

If the conservative talk show talking heads wanted to seal the deal they should all stand up, shun McCain, Boo him, walk out, Moon Him and give him the finger.

That would single handedly guarantee his election in the fall.

Come on Rush, Show some balls.

Adoption of Islamic Sharia law in Britain is ‘unavoidable’, says Archbishop of Canterbury.

This is insanity, a threat to their national sovereignty and is to make Islam a State within a State.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has today said that the adoption of Islamic Sharia law in the UK is “unavoidable” and that it would help maintain social cohesion.

Rowan Williams told BBC Radio 4’s World At One that the UK has to “face up to the fact” that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system.

He says that Muslims could choose to have marital disputes or financial matters dealt with in a Sharia court. He added Muslims should not have to choose between “the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty”.

But his views were condemned today by senior Tory MP Peter Luff, who said: “This is a very dangerous route which we should not go down. You can’t be a little bit pregnant. You can’t have a little bit of sharia law.

“We should not start introducing new different legal systems alongside ours.”

SHALL THE REAGAN CONSERVATIVES EXPEL THE PODHORETZ NEO-CONS

Paul, Huckabee, and Romney are the Reagan Conservatives for God and Constitution; McCain is the Podhoretz Neo-Con for the un-constitutional McCain-Feingold suppression of internet freedom of speech, the immoral sacrificial killing of children by their mothers, the treasonous amnesty for illegal Mexican immigrants, and the sacrifice of the wealth and blood of the American People in un-constitutional wars for Israel.

Shall these Podhoretz Neo-Con traitors against God and Constitution be justly expelled from the Republican Party by the Reagan Conservatives; or, shall they be allowed to continue to subvert it?  Shall McCain have a date for the presidency; or shall he have date for the Conservative Republican firing squad?

Wife feeds husband dog poo curry

An angry estranged wife took revenge on her husband – by feeding him a curry containing dog excrement.

Speaking in her defence, solicitor Terry Gallanagh said that the case was like ‘an episode of Desperate Housewives’.

47-year-old Jill Martin pled guilty to the charge of culpable and reckless conduct at Paisley Sheriff Court.

The court heard that after serving him the dish on March 13, and watching him as he started eating it, Martin burst out laughing.

Overweight man squashes wife to death

An overweight man was jailed for five years after he killed his wife by sitting on her during a domestic dispute.

The 20-stone (300 lbs) man ‘sat on his wife’s chest for at least two minutes and broke her ribs in 18 places’, said Jan-Michael Seidel, a spokesman for the court in the northern town of Hildesheim.

‘It was quite deliberate.’

The woman, who was half her husband’s weight, died from her injuries less than a month later.

Woman knocks husband out with potato

When things got heated between a husband and wife in Nicholson, Georgia, she reached for the first thing that came to hand - a spud.

When her partner called her by a rude word, she grabbed the potato and threw it at him.

The spud hit him square in the nose, knocking him unconscious.

Police were called to the house on Thanksgiving morning. The 43-year-old woman told them that she and her husband started to argue in the kitchen at about 1am. The couple had been drinking.

The woman said she didn’t mean to hit her husband and called police as soon as he fell unconscious. Her husband decided not to press charges.

Saddamned if I know what it is

It’s the latest sculptural masterpiece to go on display in one of London’s parks – but, in time honoured Rolf Harris fashion, can you guess what it is, kids?

Could it be a depiction of our disposable, consumerist society? Do the plastic sheeting and cardboard boxes stand as a silent tribute to the problems of homelessness that affect our cities? Does the adhesive tape wrapping and obscuring the central form of the work interrogate our misguided notions of authorial intent as being inherent to the appreciation of art?

Still not got it? Want to know the answer? You’ll kick yourselves.

OK, then. The sculpture, of course, is of Saddam Hussein’s first wife, Sajida Talfah. Look here’s a picture of her:

See the resemblance?

The sculpture stands in Napoleon Garden in Holland Park, and the sculptor, Graham Hudson, says that the name inspired his art.

‘It’s a beautiful spot named after the most successful fascist dictator in history,’ he said in a recent interview. ‘So we’ve got fascism and leisure, what a great combination… I guess even dictators need a bit of R and R and a cuddle now and again.’

The lower portion of the statue, an oil drum, represents Iraq. The upper portion represents a woman – ‘possibly one past her prime’ – trying to maintain her appearance.

The spot in Napoleon Gardens has long been a venue for contemporary sculpture, ever since an older piece by noted artist, typographer and deviant Eric Gill was removed due to ageing. Kensington and Chelsea council paid around £2,000 ($3,500)for Hudson’s work.

Sajida Talfah has yet to comment on the sculpture. To be fair, it’s unlikely that her views will be found out in the near future, as she vanished in 2006 after being accused of funding Sunni insurgents in Iraq.

Sheesh.. and to think I’ve been tossing my “Art” in the dumpster every week

is it just me or is this a bit ironic?

I got this from Little Green Footballs.

It’s a piece from Freakonomics blog published in the New York Times. There, if that’s not convoluted enough, I don’t know what is.

The question is: What would you make the Motto of the USA in 6 words.

Yikes

Here are some entries:

What can we screw up next?

Hubris: it’s not just for Greeks!

All your oil belong to us.

Equal Representation* *Offer void in D.C.

“God bless America! And nobody else!”

“The Orwellian Superpower with Christian Roots.”

Life’s fast, screw saving, spend faster.

“America: Because We Know Better Than You.”

Where’s the Free Stuff?? Vote Democrat!

Everyone hates US; immigration way up

Lawsuits, Mullets and All-you-can-eat Buffets: Awesome!

“No, we still don’t like soccer”

USA - “That hot girl who ignores you”

Bold Leadership for a Brighter Yesterday

America….at least we’re not Canada.

One Nation, Over Weight, Over Budget

Greed. Lust. Consumption. The American Dream!

“McDonalds! Walmart! Microsoft! Starbucks! Porn! Christmas!”

USA… Big Man On Campus… Once

God bless America! Starting with me!!

One Nation. One God. Screw You.

America: bombing you, suing each other.

Like Ancient Rome, with flush toilets.

And, if you read them all on both LGF and Freak you will see a trend. The USA sucks, but less than everywhere else.

I think the USA needs a hug.

I won’t blame Rush for this. Although..............

The pictures of thousand pound pigs from the South are missing the massive destruction they impact upon our ecosystem. So North Dakota would be better off without wild pigs. And we’re hoping this works.

Wild pig elimination under way
By RICHARD HINTON
Bismarck Tribune

The bait piles are out and the remote cameras are in place as an effort to eradicate wild pigs in the Turtle Mountains continues.

“We’re still in that mode of trying to determine locations, and we’re trying to get word out for landowners to contact us or Game and Fish if they see hogs,” Phil Mastrangelo, state director for USDA Wildlife Services, said Wednesday.

Whether stray domestic pigs, introduced Eurasian wild boars or hybrids, the feral pigs aren’t wanted in North Dakota, and officials in states coping with pig problems have told North Dakota to eliminate the pigs immediately or risk long-term problems with an uncontrollable population.

Problems with feral pigs range from their potential to transmit diseases to their rooting and wallowing that lead to soil erosion and degradation of water quality. The pigs also compete with native wildlife for food, destroy wildlife habitat, and prey on ground-nesting birds and small and young mammals. Wild pigs also are hardy, resilient and prolific.

Because the area is a patchwork of public, private and tribal land, Mastrangelo is continuing to talk to tribal officials of the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation about crews working on tribal lands.

There have been no reports of pigs on the reservation, however, Mastrangelo said.

Wildlife Services is spearheading the task force, which is made up of state and federal agencies: the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, North Dakota Department of Agriculture’s Board of Animal Health, the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the University of North Dakota.

One wild-pig population in the Badlands already was hit this summer, and it is believed to have been eradicated.

Wildlife managers will trap the pigs and use agency sharpshooters to remove pigs once they are located.

“We will rely on reports from landowners. If they spot hogs, we will take action,” Mastrangelo said.

Some think so.

I’m not sure.

I am a combat veteran.  My country has decorated me for valorous actions in combat.  American men are alive because of me, and enemies have gone on to meet their maker because of me.

...all that, and 55 cents, will get me a cup of coffee from the machine.

...if you add millions of dollars in campaign funds, it still won’t qualify me to be the POTUS!  (but I could buy a lot of coffee)  Why?  Because being the president takes more than just being an awesome Soldier.

I really hate politics.  If you think back to Jr High, who is it that was elected?  It was probably the person deemed the ‘coolest.’  That was fine back then.  What did the Jr High President do?  Unfortunately, all of those people who voted for the ‘coolest’ kid got older.  NOTE: I did not say that those people grew up.  Those Jr High kids get old enough to vote for the ‘coolest’ presidential candidate.  Qualifications don’t matter.

I love Veterans (I R 1!) and I love Jesus way more than vets…  And although I may want (a younger) McCain in the next fighting position, and I may want Huck as the pastor or deacon of my church, it DOESN’T mean that I want either of them to be my President.

My name is Paulie B, and I hate this election more and more each day.
