California town needs to rein in turkeys,  harassing people on the street.

Nobody proofreads anything anymore do they. Either that or this needs to be a cautionary tale about chili.  :smokin:

I doubt it was silent.  I'm imagining a loud "Whooof."

Bloomington, Indiana's mayor gets the a-ha! about naughty holidays . . .

http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/news/local/mayor-cites-cultural-sensitivity-in-changing-names-of-two-city/article_82c50bb7-961c-5855-a527-221098977e1e.html

The mayor decides Columbus Day is "Fall Holiday" and Good Friday is "Spring Holiday."

Quote
We are terrifically proud of our diverse workforce at the city,” Hamilton wrote. “That diversity makes us
stronger and more representative of the public we proudly serve. These updated names for two days of well-merited
time off is another way we can demonstrate our commitment to inclusivity.
---Bloomington mayor John
Hamilton.

What's next, gang?

Groundhog Day to National Weather Day---Why the hell should the groundhogs get their own day? Are we
biased against other rodents?

Arbor Day to Flora Day---Who gave trees supremacy? What did the shrubs, the grass, the flowers, and the
herbs ever do to p@ss anyone off?

The Fourth of July to National Fireworks Day---Isn't this discrimination against British Americans? (If British Americans really do get P.O.ed at
the Fourth of July, no wonder they needed American help to win World War II . . .)

Veterans Day---What? The rookies don't deserve respect?

Presidents' Day---Wasn't the presidency supposed to be a co-equal branch? C'mon, the Constitution didn't get around
to the presidency until Article 2. Where's Congress Day? Or Supreme Court Day?

I'm a bit skeptical. How is eating ice cream for breakfast going to help a woman lighten up? It seems like a paradox.

It's a six year old article - but it's up there in terms of weird:

Here isn't the news: April 11, 1954... the most boring day of the 20th century

Oh, I dunno.  I admire the tenaciousness required to put that story together.  To isolate a day where nobody of note was born, nor died and nothing of note happened anywhere...I admire the writer.  That was a tall accomplishment.

the false news of the left is working overtime right now.  The claim is that our security services have proven that the russians caused trump to win the election and they are now calling for an armed response against our government.

Thanks, Fred!

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has determined that Russia did in fact try to help Donald Trump win the US presidency rather than work to simply interfere with the election, according to a secret report conducted by the agency.

If the report is secret, what is this doing out in a foreign news source?
When has the Russian Government not tried to influence American elections, at least since WWII?

Every since news of hillary's public private server became public  'we' found it easier to hand over our secrets to foreign news sources for publishing. I am really, really grateful, too. It has saved me from countless hours poring over hundreds of millions of e-mails.  :silly:

Leif Erikson's voyage to America was a secret communist plot to lay down some groundwork for Russian post WWII American presidential elections meddling. So the damn Russians have been at it for a thousand years. And people worried about Hitler's Thousand Year Reich. sheesh

After $85 million in family travel, Obama looks forward to 'decent vacation'

By Philip Wegmann • 12/13/16 5:13 PM



While moving out of the White House, President Obama will also be packing his suitcase for a holiday. The outgoing executive told Comedy Central's Trevor Noah that after eight difficult years he's looking forward to "a decent vacation."
 
No doubt Obama deserves one — of course, on his own dime this time. While in office, he's explored the Roman Coliseum, walked the Great Wall of China and snorkeled in Maui. Now during retirement, picking a decent destination will be truly difficult.
 
Dubbed "the ultimate tourist," by The New York Times, Obama seldom let a trip overseas go to waste. Diplomatic business trips doubled as Obama family vacations, like that time the president stopped in balmy Buenos Aires after swinging through tropical Havana, Cuba.
 
The 44th president has in fact visited every continent except Antarctica. Obama has told his aides that he wants to gaze on the frozen tundra, the New York Times reports. Unfortunately, duty has kept him from visiting. Often he's had to settle for a few rounds of golf and frequent weekend trips to Martha's Vineyard.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
