Alaskan SWAT Team vs. Teen Pizza Thieves

As if Alaskans don't have enough of a nincompoop reputation to live down after electing and supporting Sarah Palin, apparently their police can't handle a stolen pizza without calling in a SWAT team.  According to the Associated Press, Anchorage Police say a plot to steal a delivery man’s pizza warranted use of a SWAT team. The police spokesman says a man trying to deliver a pizza order this weekend was confronted by a guy with a gun and a stick, and then three other young people attacked him from behind, grabbed the pizza he was delivering but ran away without taking his money (wow...genius). The delivery man then followed one of his attackers to a home where police arrested her. The other suspects then barricaded themselves somewhere in the home, prompting authorities to call in a SWAT team that took care of the rest.  

Yes folks, SWAT to deal with teenagers stealing pizza. Hmmm... Is there a way to get their oil without keeping the state? :/

Doesn't "buy into" obesity being unhealthy?!?

Christians hating on Halloween

Once again, far be it from me to knock someone's personal beliefs... but... according to the sanity-deficient fundamentalists featured in the news story below, among other things, now we've got to check our gummi bears and make sure they aren't really vampires? WTF?!?

*sigh*



In the end, all I can say to this story is a thank you to Reverend Lynn for offering a glimmer of sanity on the topic of a growing subculture somewhat responsible for over 40% of my country being convinced that evolution is elaborate fiction. :(

A friend on Facebook recently posted this image of an insanely decadent junk food concoction ...and I have to shamelessly admit... if I ever see this thing in real life with the ability to add chocolate on-hand, I'm gonna have to add myself as an entry to this blog. :P
