So , I'm channel surfing here, checking out the news about this huge blizzard in the East

CNN and MSNBC are both doing in-depth reporting on the conditions out there, I hit Fox and it's stories about how bad the President is with his doing a non-traditional online interview and some supposed coddling of terrorists.

WTF?

No wonder people who watch FOX are LESS informed than people who don't watch news at all.

Bad Cop, No Donut: 25 Jan 15 - Cop may not face liability for negligence in K9 mauling






Cops aren’t the Only Ones who can Assault Innocent People with Impunity, Their Dogs Can Too

Atlanta, GA — A DeKalb County police officer is claiming “official immunity” after she failed to properly restrain her K-9 and it got loose, maiming an 11-year-old boy.

The Georgia Supreme Court is now determining whether or not the family of the boy can sue for damages.

According to NBC 11,

On November 6, 2011, Officer Lynn Eshleman’s K9, Andor, bit an 11-year-old neighbor playing in his neighbor’s yard.
Officer Eshleman had warned children in the neighborhood not to look over the fence because it antagonized the dog. She also warned them if he ever escaped the fence, they should just stand still. “When you run, you become prey to a dog,” she allegedly told the children.
When Andor escaped from the back of the officer’s truck one day, he ran into the yard where the boys were playing. When 11-year-old Chandler Key tried to run away, Andor latched onto his arm and dragged him to the ground.


Eshleman admitted that she had not securely closed the door of the kennel and that the canine got out of her truck, according to the lawsuit.

The boys father filed a lawsuit against Eshleman, claiming that she was liable for damages caused by her negligence. Chandler suffered “a gaping laceration and puncture wound and had to be treated at the hospital with injections and stitches,” according to his father. The 11-year-old is mentally traumatized as well.

I've got Jeb on C-Span, speaking to a car dealer convention

This is the first time I've ever seen and heard him speak in front of an audience.

A couple of observations:

1. He actually sounds cogent when he opens his mouth.

2. He can't tell the truth or use facts to save his life.

I figure that both he and Mittens are going to be the drivers of the GOP clown car. He might even be the nominee.

Yep, the GOPers are going to try and send another Bush to the White House and if he actually steals the White House, as did his other namesakes, his administration would spell disaster for America.

Can you imagine ALL THREE BRANCHES of government completely ruled by these people?

I guarantee that THAT would result in a war against Iran and economic collapse.

He's a slick motherfucker… Probably the slickest of them all.

I hope to GAWD that Ernst gets it into her empty skull to run for President

Even dead comedy writers would rise from their graves to write her skits.
