Mark Zuckerberg's sister had a truly unfortunate experience on Alaska Airlines.

Feeling disgusted & degraded after an @AlaskaAir flight where the passenger next to me made repeated lewd sexual remarks. The flight attendants told me he was a frequent flier, brushed off his behavior & kept giving him drinks. I guess his $ means more than our safety? My letter: pic.twitter.com/xOkDpb0dYU

Here is more from Fortune Magazine:  

Randi Zuckerberg said on Twitter Wednesday night that Alaska Airlines workers allowed a man to continue making lewd comments to her during a flight from Los Angeles to Mazatlán, Mexico. 

The founder and CEO of Zuckerberg Media, and whose brother is Mark Zuckerberg, posted a screenshot of a letter to Alaska Airlines executives and CEO. 

“He started talking to me about touching himself, kept asking me if I fantasized about the female business colleague I was traveling with, rated and commented on the women’s bodies boarding the aircraft as they walked by us, and many more equally horrifying and offensive comments,” Zuckerberg wrote in the letter.

As an Alaskan this is somewhat troubling as Alaska Airlines actually has a very good reputation for service.

I have flown on the airline numerous times and it has always been as pleasant of an experience as somebody who truly hates to fly can have while cramped together in a metal tube with a hundred or so smelly, sweat stained passengers. (Oh, and that one crying baby who has been accompanying me on flights for the last twenty years or so.)

I don't know why people drink as much as they do on these flights, but I do know that a lot of the problems that people have while in the air are alcohol related.

Personally I would be all for making flights alcohol free, just like they are now free of the cigarette smoke that used to choke me to death decades ago.

Zuckerberg also posted this tweet which shows that Alaska Airlines heard her complaint and took appropriate action.

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with two executives from @AlaskaAir who informed me that they are conducting an investigation and have temporarily suspended this passenger’s travel privileges. Thank you for taking this seriously.

Perhaps they can also train their staff that the next time some belligerent drunk is harassing passengers on a flight that he should be cut off immediate and only served black coffee until he reaches his destination.

However at least Alaska Airlines is dem

So Track Palin's case for beating the mother of his future baby boy is over.

As some of you pointed out yesterday it appears that Track's case has been disposed.

After having he hearing continued over and over again apparently Track did whatever the minimum requirement was for having the case disappear.

According to the Anchorage DA that was supposed to involve going through some therapeutic program at the VA.

Did he do that? Beats me, but since he is a Palin you can bet he only did the very least he needed to do to get this behind him.

For those who may have forgotten Track Palin was arrested on January 18th, of this year:Track Palin, 26, was charged yesterday with assault, interfering with a report of domestic violence, and possession of a weapon while intoxicated. All three charges are misdemeanors. Spokespersons with both the Wasilla Police Department and the district attorney’s office confirmed their existence.

Later we got a bit more of the story: 

According to the three-page affidavit, both Palin and his girlfriend called 911 that night. Police Officer Andrew Kappler wrote that he arrived at the Wasilla home and found Track Palin walking outside and talking on a phone. The officer said Palin had an injury to his right eye and surrounding area, smelled strongly of alcohol and acted with escalating hostility, prompting Kappler to put him in handcuffs. 

Police say a breath sample provided by Palin showed he had a blood alcohol level of 0.189. 

The affidavit says other officers found the girlfriend hiding under a bed inside the home and crying. 

The argument continued at the home, according to the affidavit, which says Palin struck the woman with his fist on the left side of her head near her eye. She curled up in the fetal position because she didn't know what else he would do, the woman told police. She said he then kicked her in the knee and threw her phone across the driveway, according to the court document. The woman said she went inside after getting her phone. 

Inside, Palin held the rifle, with the barrel just away from his face pointed to the side, the affidavit states. The affidavit adds that the woman told police Palin was yelling "Do you think I won't do it?" 

(We also learned from Gino that Track kept asking Jordan if she thought he was a "pussy," but that did not make it into the police report.)

The case seemed to move slowly for a time and then on July 13th, we thought we heard some good news:

"Defendant remanded to custody." It says it right there in black and white.

And yet by July 15th it had been expunged and replaced with "Hearing Continued."

And that was followed up by this sudden explanation of how the case was going from Track's very expensive attorney: 

Sarah Palin’s son is heading into treatment instead of jail after his January domestic violence arrest — and his own lawyer told RadarOnline.com he needs help for his alcohol problem! 

Track “has been assessed” by the VA, his attorney, Kevin T. Fitzgerald told Radar, and at a hearing later this month, he will receive his proposed treatment plan. 

 “I would expect it has some alcohol component,” Fitzgerald said. “In all candor, Track could be well-served by treatment.”

Getting the domestic violence assault charge dropped was “not an insignificant dismissal,” he said, insisting that the possession of a weapon while intoxicated charge “really more accurately tracks what went down” when Track was accused of drunkenly attacking his girlfriend in January. 

 Still, Fitzgerald said they weren’t altogether pleased with the final charge that stuck. “I believe it’s got constitutional infirmities because it precludes people form possessing firearms, even unloaded firearms, in their own homes if they’re under the influence,” he insisted. “We weren’t going to make a big constitutional issue of it, but that’s what the situation was.” 

Fitzgerald went on to claim that if Track finished his "therapeutic treatment" those final charges would be dropped.

So according to what Court View is saying today that means that Track finished his therapy despite not leaving his parent's home in Wasilla.

Gosh it's good to have powerful friends in the state, don't you think?

But have no fear justice seekers, after all this IS Track Palin we're talking about, so how long can it really be until his next brush with the law?

Yep, Track Palin is in jail! Update!

Track Palin and his now pregnant punching bag.

So as many of you started pointing out late yesterday FINALLY a Palin is doing time.

Of course this is due to that incident back in January where Track Palin, with blood alcohol level of 0.189, attacked his girlfriend Jordan Loewe, punching her in the face, throwing her cellphone out of reach, and kicking her at least once while she was helpless at his feet.

Track also waved around some kind of firearm (According to Loewe he was threatening to kill himself.) which forced his girlfriend to crawl into the house and call 911.

Track was then charged with three misdemeanors: assault, interfering with reporting of a domestic violence crime, and a weapons charge.

He plead not guilty (Of course.)  and was bailed out by a family friend (Mom was busy pimping Donald Trump back when Alaska was not too far away from which to fly to the lower forty eight.) for $1,500.

Then the next thing we heard was that Track had his case moved out of the regular court and to the Veteran's Court on June 27th, where his hearings kept being continued until July 13 when apparently the hearing was finally held and he was immediately remanded into custody. (Remanded means locked up without bail.)

Source

Of course in the interim we also heard that Track's, now fiance Jordan Loewe, is expecting his child (A boy.) so there will be yet another Palin family member terrorizing Wasilla in the years to come.

I must say that if one were to believe in Karma that it would certainly seem to have come back on Sarah Palin in spades.

• For one thing her husband came close to dying in a recent snowmachine accident.
• She was summarily dumped by her new boyfriend Donald Trump.
• Her eldest son is now in jail for beating the shit out of his now pregnant fiance. 
• Her eldest daughter has been revealed to be a bitch on ice who has used her son to punish her ex-boyfriend for almost a decade now.
• She is now considered radioactive by most conservative politicians. 
• Her name has been reduced to nothing more than a punchline for late night comics.
• Oh, and her SarahPAC quarterly report shows that she is hemorrhaging money at an alarming rate. (More on that in the next post.)

Yeah it seems that Sarah Palin's version of winning is reminiscent of this guy.

People continue to ask me, when are you going to bring this bitch down?

And once again my response would be, "How much further is it to "down?"

Update: Okay so I have been in contact with other folks following this case carefully and learned that the Anchorage jail is denying that Track is being held there.

However I also learned that Track actually showed up for his hearing on June 27th, but became "very uncomfortable" and had to leave.

I don't know what that means exactly but they ended up pushing the hearing forward.

There is also some confusion as to why Track was remanded into custody on the 13th, when he was not scheduled for a court visit again until July 25th.

If I had to take a guess I think I would go with failed drug test, but once again no confirmation on that.

Yet.

Update 2: Oh hell, the "remanded" part was just removed from Court View.

It looks like Snowdrift Snooki CAN still pull some strings.

(Too late though, it was captured in that screenshot up above.)

Woman gets shot in the chest during showing of the movie "13 Hours." Now the conservatives just have to find a way to blame THIS on Hillary Clinton as well.

Courtesy of Komo News:  

A 40-year-old woman was seriously injured Thursday when she was shot in the chest inside a Renton movie theater, police said. 

The shooting happened at around 8 p.m. at a movie theater at the The Landing in Renton during a showing of the film "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi." 

"It got about 15-20 minutes into the film and I believe the lady in front of us that got shot was actually talking to her husband or significant other and that's when we heard the loud pop," said one witness, who did not want to be identified. He was sitting 3 or 4 rows behind the man when the gun went off.

And how did the brave man with the gun respond?

Just as witnesses realized it was a shooting, they saw the man make his way toward a nearby exit.

Police believe that the man was intoxicated at the time.

Of course he was because who else would bring a loaded firearm to a theater except a drunken asshole who would run away from any responsibility for his actions?

Fortunately the man's father isn't quite the POS his son is and he notified the police:

Police say the shooter's father called 911 Thursday night from his Newcastle home and told dispatchers his son was distraught and told him that he dropped his gun at a Renton movie theater and it discharged. The 29-year-old is now in custody. 

"According to him, he said he dropped the gun and it went off. We have witnesses that say he came into the theater and appeared intoxicated. He went in and took a seat in theater number nine and was fumbling with a pistol when it went off and struck someone sitting in front of him," said David Leibman with the Renton Police Department.

Apparently in the NRA's America you cannot even sit down to enjoy some good old anti-Hillary Clinton propaganda without the risk of being shot by some drunk guy.

As promised here is a follow up to Track Palin's arrest for domestic violence.

Here is a better picture to replace the crappy one I had before.

So as I am sure all of you know we, and apparently everybody else, reported yesterday that Track Palin had been arrested for getting drunk and punching a woman in the face.

We now know for certain that the woman was his girlfriend of one year, Jordan Loewe.

Here is more courtesy of the AP: 

According to the three-page affidavit, both Palin and his girlfriend called 911 that night. Police Officer Andrew Kappler wrote that he arrived at the Wasilla home and found Track Palin walking outside and talking on a phone. The officer said Palin had an injury to his right eye and surrounding area, smelled strongly of alcohol and acted with escalating hostility, prompting Kappler to put him in handcuffs. 

Police say a breath sample provided by Palin showed he had a blood alcohol level of 0.189. 

The affidavit says other officers found the girlfriend hiding under a bed inside the home and crying. 

The argument continued at the home, according to the affidavit, which says Palin struck the woman with his fist on the left side of her head near her eye. She curled up in the fetal position because she didn't know what else he would do, the woman told police. She said he then kicked her in the knee and threw her phone across the driveway, according to the court document. The woman said she went inside after getting her phone. 

Inside, Palin held the rifle, with the barrel just away from his face pointed to the side, the affidavit states. The affidavit adds that the woman told police Palin was yelling "Do you think I won't do it?" 

The girlfriend "was concerned that he would shoot himself and ran outside and around the house," the affidavit says. "She didn't see where Palin went, so she went inside and up the stairs, where she hid under a bed."

So now we learn that Track had a blood alcohol level of 0.189, which is considered legally drunk, and then some.

Here is a little more detail from Alaska news station KTVA:

The woman claimed Track Palin was calling her names, and in an effort to calm him down and “to scare him away from ‘touching her,’” she told him she had called the police. 

“Palin approached [the woman] and struck her on the left side of her head near her eye with a closed fist,” police said in court documents. “Palin then kicked [her] on the right knee.” 

The woman said he then grabbed her phone, which was on the ground next to her, and threw it across the driveway. She was able to retrieve the phone and headed inside the residence. Track Palin was reportedly already inside the residence and had a gun. She said he yelled, “do you think I won’t do it,” among other things, and was holding the gun in a way she believed he would kill himself. She ran out and then went and hid, police said. 

Track Palin denied using a weapon during the altercation, “but stated that they were spread throughout both residences on the property,” police noted. 

Track Palin had an injury on his face he claimed was caused when she “threw a bow,” or her elbow, at his face. The woman had a visible head injury, according to police, and was complaining of pain in her leg.

The takeaway was that Track was clearly out of control and assaulted this young woman repeatedly, and placed her in fear for her safety and his.

And I have to say the statement that there were guns "spread throughout both residences on the property" concerns me since we know that young children are on those premises at all hours of the day and night.

Alaska Dispatch added more detail about what started the altercation:  

Palin told police he and the woman had been arguing over her communication with an ex-boyfriend. 

“This angered Palin,” the affidavit says. “He stated that they had been arguing for most of the night.” 

According to the affidavit, Palin told detectives the two had gone to dinner, then to his sister’s house and later to a piece of property he was considering buying. There, he said, they began to argue again. Palin accused the woman of driving drunk back to his sister's house, leaving him to walk back from the property. 

The affidavit said the two later drove back to Palin’s parents’ house and continued to argue. Palin told police they argued verbally and that the woman “threw a ‘bow,” meaning an elbow, and that was how his face was injured. 

 The woman also said the two had been arguing for the better part of the night, and in the driveway of the Palin family home.

For more on what happened you can visit Gawker and read the entire police report.

Now I was contacted by my sources in Wasilla last night as well, and I have a little more detail to add.

According to them after Jordan drove Track to the Palin compound, she tried to leave and Track threw himself on her windshield to prevent her from leaving.

It was then that he also pulled that gun, only according to my sources he put the barrel in his mouth and threatened to blow his brains out. They also identified this weapon, not as an assault rifle, but as a pistol.

However when she got out of the car that is when he assaulted her by punching and kicking her.

They were both hammered and Jordan was sobbing uncontrollable, and of course Track is barely coherent even when he is not drunk.

So there you have it, Palin family values once again on display for the whole world to see.

And while all of this was going on Track's parents were all the way down in the lower forty eight endorsing Donald Trump, because Sarah Palin is the very embodiment of conservative values and Christian morality.

So good news for Bristol, apparently there is a chance that Dakota Meyer is used to having his ass kicked by women.

"Me and Rowan." Not sure who Rowan is.

I have been sent a lot of articles and pictures concerning Dakota Meyer in the last few days (Including the picture up above.) but one of them really caught my attention.

This is courtesy of the Lexington Herald-Leader concerning a drunken brawl in 2012 that found Dakota being badly injured: 

Kanissa'ai Thompson is charged with second-degree assault for allegedly inflicting serious injury on Meyer, 24, during an early-morning fight Dec. 9, but Thompson said he never touched Meyer. 

"I never got involved," he told the Lexington Herald-Leader in an interview Friday. 

Meyer received medical treatment for the injuries he received at a party held in a Columbia business commonly called the Red Barn. 

According to a female friend of Meyer he required  three staples to close a head wound but she never got a good look at who struck him.

Meyer identified this man.

However he claims it was not him, but a female at the party: 

The 18-year-old farm worker charged with assaulting Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer claims he never touched the high-profile Marine veteran and puts the blame on an unidentified young woman. 

Now as it turns out Meyer did not know who hit him either, and claims to have identified Thompson based on eyewitness accounts, even though the female friend of Meyer said that she heard differing accounts of who threw the punches, some of which hit her as well.

Now here is the truly messed up part:  

Thompson said he believed Meyer had identified him as the assailant because of the potential embarrassment of being hit by a woman (Boy that has a ring of truth to it doesn't it?), but Meyer disputed that contention during a phone conversation he had with Thompson on Friday. 

Meyer called Thompson while he was being interviewed by the Herald-Leader, and Thompson allowed a reporter to listen to the conversation. 

Meyer said he did not identify Thompson as the person who kicked him while he was down. Other witnesses gave statements about who assaulted him, Meyer said during the call. 

Thompson had called Meyer earlier in the week to talk about the incident, and Meyer called back Friday to see if Thompson was serious about wanting to join the military, which they had discussed earlier. 

If so, Meyer said, he would drop the assault charge so it would not ruin the 18-year-old's chances to join the service. 

Meyer told Thompson he knew he was "a good kid." "I want to do whatever to help you out," Meyer said. 

"If you're going to go to the military and there's no charges pressed on me from anybody, then I'll tell you ... me and you'll go together is what we'll do, and it'll all end." 

So to be clear Meyer is not sure that Thompson is the guy who hit him, but he is willing to let the young man off the hook IF he agrees to enlist in the military. 

Does that sound like blackmail to anybody else?

Well I think this might be a match made in heaven, since as we know from the Throwdown at the Hoedown Bristol really likes to punch men in the face.

For those who just want to get right to Bristol's drunken testimony from that night, here is the famous Thonghazi from our pal Kenny Pick.

Yeah, I think that Levi REALLY needs to fight hard to keep Tripp here in Alaska with him, and for both shared physical and legal custody to protect his son from the drunken fights that you just know lie ahead for this couple.

Secret Service agents drunkenly crash car into White House security barriers. Can we trust the safety of our President to this organization?

Courtesy of the Washington Post:  

The Obama administration is investigating allegations that two senior Secret Service agents, including a top member of the president’s protective detail, drove a government car into White House security barricades after drinking at a late-night party last week, an agency official said Wednesday. 

Officers on duty who witnessed the March 4 incident wanted to arrest the agents and conduct sobriety tests, according to a current and a former government official familiar with the incident. But the officers were ordered by a supervisor on duty that night to let the agents go home, said these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive internal matter.

The investigation is being handled by the Department of Homeland Security. 

I am not exactly sure why the police supervisors felt it appropriate to allow these agents to leave the scene of the accident without being arrested, but it makes me concerned that there will be any disciplinary action at all.

Remember these were SENIOR Secret Service agents, not some green around the gills new hires.

These are men who are tasked with keeping the President, and the President's family safe. And I just have to say that I am increasingly worried that they are simply not up to the job. 

Or perhaps even worse, worried that they are not really even trying to do their jobs.

Remember it was only back in November of 2011 that a gunman was able to fire bullets at the White House, and the only way we know it happened is because a housekeeper noticed broken glass and a chunk of concrete on the floor.

If that were the only incident perhaps there would be no reason for concern. But it is certainly not:

Earlier this year, three agents were sent home from a trip to the Netherlands after getting drunk the night before the President was set to arrive. 

In 2013, two agents were removed from Presidential security detail after sending sexually inappropriate emails to a colleague, which was uncovered when one of the agents was discovered trying to forcefully enter a woman’s hotel room after forgetting a bullet inside. 

In 2012, eight agents were fired after it emerged that they had allegedly solicited prostitutes while on an on-duty trip to Colombia. 

In 2001, an agent admitted to having stolen nearly $3,000 in cash that the Secret Service had taken as evidence in the years prior.

There are other incidents reported by the Time magazine article, but those are scattered throughout a number of presidential administrations. The ones listed above are all from President Obama's. 

Look far be it from me to suggest that an agency as revered as the Secret Service, is simply not doing their jobs. But do you know what? It certainly fucking appears that the Secret Service are not doing their jobs!

This is the first black President ever elected in this country, he should have the best, most beefed up, most dedicated bodyguards on the planet.

And instead he seems to be surrounded by the Federal government's version of the Keystone Kops.

Seattle refuses to prosecute cop who punched handcuffed woman in the face breaking her eye socket. Federal prosecutors to review the incident.

Courtesy of the Seattle Times:  

Federal prosecutors say they will review an incident in which a Seattle police officer punched and seriously injured a handcuffed, intoxicated woman, after King County prosecutors said Friday they won’t charge the officer. 

Emily Langlie, spokeswoman for acting U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes, said her office will look at the June 22 incident involving Officer Adley Shepherd for a possible federal criminal civil-rights violation. 

The decision comes after King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg announced that his office would not seek a state felony charge against Shepherd, 38, a nine-year department veteran, for punching Miyekko Durden-Bosley in the back of his police cruiser.

This case is a little different than what we have all seen lately on the news.

For one the woman lived, and two the cop that injured her is black not white. 

However even though race may not the issue this time around the unnecessary use of force most certainly is an issue.

Just take a look at the video of the arrest. (Punch is at the 2:50 mark.)

It is clear from the tape that the woman, was intoxicated and being quite disruptive.

However it is also clear that the police officer struck her in anger and NOT because he was trying to subdue her or in fear of personal injury. She had her hands locked behind her back for fuck's sake.

And once again there is video to prove that something terribly wrong happened, and STILL the Seattle prosecutor did not do his job.

That has to make ALL of us wonder just how many miscarriages of justice are happening every day where there is no video and nobody ever even knows they happen?

Yes cops need to be outfitted with cameras. That is step one.

But then when prosecutors see on those tapes that the police did something like this, they need to respond appropriately.  THAT is step two.

Drunken argument between two officers results in shooting death of New Mexico Sheriff's Deputy.

Deputy Jeremy Martin

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

A New Mexico sheriff’s deputy shot and killed another deputy during a drunken argument after transporting a prisoner out of state. 

Police said two Santa Fe County deputies were returning from the transfer when they rented a hotel room at 4 p.m. Monday in Las Cruces, reported the Albuquerque Journal. 

The deputies later went to Dublin’s Street Pub, where they began arguing after drinking alcohol. 

Police said the argument escalated when the deputies returned to their seventh-floor hotel room, and one of them attempted to flee to an elevator. 

Deputy Tai Chan fatally shot Deputy Jeremy Martin several times in the back and arms with a semi-automatic gun, police said. 

The 29-year-old Martin was pronounced dead at an area hospital.

You know the NRA is always saying that gun deaths are the result of criminals getting access to guns and not something that "good guys" with guns are ever involved in.

Wrong!

After all these are trained individuals who are suppose to be the very definition of the "good guys with a gun."

The fact is that reasonable people sometimes get unreasonable, especially when drinking, and the presence of a firearms can often mean that a simple shoving match, or exchange of punches, can instead become the taking of a life. 

"Super Swearing Cut." A compilation of Track Palin's greatest hits from the police audio. Update!

"I'll fucking beat your ass."

"I was cold clocked from behind."

"Like a fucking fish."

"Let's fucking fight, motherfuckers."

You know every word is a testament to Todd and Sarah Palin's parenting.

So much class in such a young man.

Update: For those who have the time this Kenny Pick guy also posts some of Bristol's crying and swearing under the heading "Thonghazi."

It is over three hours long but his comments, and those of his co-hosts, are highly entertaining.

Methinks that somebody's hiatus from Fox News just became permanent.

Courtesy of Gawker:  

Remember the middle-aged Fox News anchor who was arrested while intoxicated at an airport bar in St. Paul, Minnesota? You may have even seen Gregg Jarrett’s mugshot floating around last month. Now you can watch the (bizarrely rough) jailhouse altercation that put him in county jail. 

The video above was taken by the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport’s dedicated police department, which originally detained Jarrett on May 21 after he was reported for erratic behavior by an airport bartender. The department recently released the video to Gawker under Minnesota’s Freedom of Information Act. 

The surveillance footage shows Jarrett getting into an argument with a helmet-wearing cop named Mark Dorsey. After Jarrett protests his detention and calls Dorsey a “fucking stupid ass,” Dorsey approaches Jarrett, who stand ups and gets in Dorsey’s face. Dorsey then grabs the anchor, presses him up against a nearby wall, and slams him into the holding cell’s bench. It’s pretty rough stuff.

I had reported on this earlier and made the comment that I was not sure how you could NOT have a substance abuse problem and still work at Fox News, and now after watching this, and seeing Jarrett lose it on the air, it certainly does appear as if Jarrett does indeed have a substantial problem with alcohol.

I actually feel badly for him, as I come from a family where this kind of behavior is common place. In fact if somebody doesn't fall to the ground in s drunk stupor it's just not Christmas.

I just hope he gets the help that he needs before he ends up in a far worse situation. Though according to the police report Jarrett had just been released from “an alcohol/chemical dependency treatment facility” so maybe that is not an option for Mr. Jarrett.

Combining Open Carry with public drunkenness. Just when you thought these lunatics could not be any more frightening.

So below are some citizen reports that were phoned in to the police of Kalamazoo, Michigan: 

The first caller reports seeing a "Caucasian man with white hair and pajama pants walking with what looks like and AK-47." 

A second caller says he saw an older man walking down the street with what looked to be an assault rifle, although he admits it could also be a pellet or BB gun. He says the man had the gun up by his shoulder and "didn't look dangerous or nothing." The dispatcher asks if the gun is in the man's hands, to which the caller replies it is not. "He's an elderly man and I just want to make sure everything's all right," he says. 

A third caller gives police more cause for alarm. "There's an older gentleman carrying what looks like a large semi-automatic rifle through the streets," the male caller says. "He does appear to be intoxicated; he's stumbling around a little bit and kind of bumping into some stuff."

KDPS Sgt. Sean Gordon is the first officer on the scene and observed the man with a gun slung across his shoulder and jaywalking across the street in a state of intoxication.

He carefully makes contact with the individual: 

Gordon: Hey partner, how you doing? Can you set that down real quick and talk to me? 

Houseman: I'm not setting it down. 

Gordon: Well you can't cross the street like that. 

Houseman: Am I being detained? 

Gordon: Yes, you are being detained right now. You crossed the street illegally. Place the weapon down on the ground please. 

Houseman: I will not. 

Gordon radios that it appears the man will not drop his rifle. 

Gordon: "Look, you crossed the street illegally; I just want to talk to you. I just want to talk to you. You're walking around here scaring people, man. 

A second Public Safety vehicle arrives just after 4:11 p.m. About a minute later, Gordon asks Houseman for his name. Houseman says he is "Joe Schmoe." 

"Based on training and experience I know that this is a euphemism used as an alias and knew it was not correct," Gordon would later write in his report. 

Houseman: I am free to go? 

Gordon: "No, you're not free to go. Right now you're committing a crime of resisting and obstructing (for failing to identify himself after being stopped for jaywalking). Now you've stepped up to a misdemeanor crime. 

Houseman: Why don't you (expletive) shoot me? 

Gordon: I don't want to shoot you; I'm not here to do that.

As the interaction continues Houseman  calls the officers "gang members" and mentions a coming "revolution." Which you may all remember is the same language used by those cop killers in Nevada.

More officers arrive, including SWAT, but the police continue to negotiate with Mr. Houseman and avoid the use of force.

Another officer takes the lead, KDPS Lt. Stacey Geik, who finally convinced Houseman to lay down his weapon, which turns out to be empty.

He then has the following exchange with Houseman: 

Geik offers to allow Houseman to walk home and retrieve his rifle the following day, or to drive him home and continue the discussion there. Houseman declines both offers. 

Geik: But you're not stable mentally, which now takes you away from that rifle. 

Houseman: I'm not stable mentally? How do you decide that? 

Geik: You're damn right. How did this happen with open carry? What are you supposed to do when you contact law enforcement? Do you say, 'I hate you mother(expletive), (expletive) you? I hate you, there's a revolution coming.' Do you say that? Is that what you're taught? 

Houseman: It was wrong of me. 

Houseman agains asks for his gun back. Geik tells him he wants to make sure he isn't a risk to himself or others. 

Geik: You saying (expletive), (expletive), (expletive) and yelling across the street with a rifle in your hands ... 

Houseman: That's my First Amendment right. 

Geik: No it's not. You can't swear. 

Houseman: That's bull---. I can threaten you if I want to. 

Geik: That's incorrect. 

Houseman: I can threaten you. I can threaten you're family. I didn't threaten your family, I said I could. 

Unidentified officer: You said a war was coming. 

Houseman: I didn't say a war was coming. 

Unidentified officer: You said a revolution is coming. 

Houseman: Think about it. You know it is.

My first thought is that the Kalamazoo police are very patient people.

My second thought is that these idiots need to stop quoting the Constitution until they have somebody sit down and explain it to them.

And my third thought is that if these assholes keep talking about a revolution they are going to find themselves yelling that kind of crap through iron bars. 

This idiot is very lucky he did not end up looking like a chunk of Swiss cheese, but if this keeps up there is definitely going to come a time when an abrasive Open Carry advocate runs into an irritable police officer and then shit is going to get real.

Blind Item from August revealed to be none other than Bristol Palin. Not so surprising actually.

So this was revealed today over at Crazy Days and Nights:  

This former reality star has not been on a show in some time, but because of who she is and her family she still has A+ list name recognition. Apparently she is also yours for the night if you get her drunk enough. Five nights in a row she got wasted. Three of those nights she went home with a different guy. Hope she used protection otherwise her next reality show is going to be Maury. Now that would be a great episode of television. 

The above was posted on August 21, 2013.

Today they published the name:

Bristol Palin

Oh I know a certain father fighting for his custody rights in Alaska who is going to be tickled to see this.

Well now we know why she likes to hide out in Arizona, far from the prying eyes of those who might report her dalliances to interested parties.

Drunk Dial Congress. Considering how they have broken our things and disappointed us in our relationship it seems the reasonable response.

Here are a few talking points for you drunk dial courtesy of Drunk Dial Congress:

If you can yell at a park ranger after forcing the government to shut down then I get to  yell out at you!

You jerks are costing the country 12 million bucks per hour!

I can't watch the panda!

You guys aren't funding the police who are protecting you?

Why don't you make yourself useful and mow the lawn?

There are also some drink recipes to get you good and hammered before you start dialing.

Okay obviously this is a little tongue in cheek, but I always think humor helps when things get really stressful, and this certainly qualifies.

Besides I don't necessarily think Congress receiving a slew of barely coherent phone calls from a bunch of inebriated constituents is such a bad thing. Especially considering the fact that most of them will undoubtedly be three sheets to the wind as well.

Of course phone calls from stone cold sober folks is not a bad idea either.
