Oklahoma teenager shoots himself in the leg. For the second time in three months.

Courtesy of CBS Houston:  

An Oklahoma 16-year-old boy is in serious condition after he accidentally shot himself in the leg for the second time over the last three months, according to police. 

Tulsa police found the teen injured from a single gunshot to his left leg around 3:25 a.m. Monday, as reported by Tulsa World. Officials say the victim was conscious but incoherent and suffered from a large amount of blood loss. A tourniquet was applied to stop the bleeding after police feared the teenager had severed an artery.

The young man almost bled to death but the "quick action" of the responding officers, who applied a tourniquet, likely saved his life.

As it turns out this was not the first time that officers responded to a 911 call from the teen's residence, as three months earlier he had also shot himself in the leg.

I am not exactly sure what this 16 year old has against his leg, but perhaps the NRA ought to consider arming it so that next time it can at least return fire.

Sarah Palin tells possibly fabricated story about home invasion in order to frighten all of us into loving guns as much as she does.

The above clip is courtesy of Wonkette's Fartknocker who is still courageously watching these clips from the Sarah Palin Channel before TAPP closes shop and leaves Palin to go back to talking to herself in her bathroom mirror.

In this Fartknocker post there are actually three videos feature, non of them longer than like a minute and a half. However it was only the one about guns that I found at all interesting.

Here take a second to read this and tell me if you can tell why:

"Quick story here. In twenty ten a woman was putting her son to bed when she heard a commotion. So she went to investigate and she was confronted by three men en masse (WTF?) pointing a gun right at her. She offered her television set because that was the most valuable thing she owned, but nope they took off toward her son's room and they were in search of cash. 'I keep money under my mattress' she lied, in a desperate attempt to keep them away from her son. The bedroom was, not coincidentally, where she kept her gun. They followed her to her room, and one man got out some duct tape. When her dogs ran in, they started barking, it was all the distraction that she needed. Ahh! She shot one of the assailants, in the stomach (Check out Palin's gleeful expression at this point.), and the other two men, they ran away. Here’s the thing: the gun that she used is now illegal in New York because of its seventeen-round capacity. Had this happened in New York right now, this woman would be considered more of a criminal than the three guys who broke into her house! Ahh! When you hear people talking about outlawing certain guns, remember that those restrictions put law-abiding people, the good guys like this brave woman, put them in danger"

Okay now first off you all know that I would never simply call Sarah Palin a liar just because she lies as easily as some people breathe, and because after years of fact checking her catching her telling the truth is as rare as finding a picture of Bristol NOT making that stupid duck face.

However I should say that so far I have been unable to locate a news story that matches the details in Palin's story.

And the story itself does not seem to make a whole lot of sense. At all.

First off the woman has dogs, yet SHE was the first person in the house to hear a "commotion."

Now I have my daughter's dog living with me right now and SHE is always the first one in the house to respond to anything amiss. Or even not so amiss for that matter.

For instance the other day she jumped up and started barking like crazy because a guy working on a construction site behind my house accidentally stepped onto my property. He was yards away from any door or window but she wanted me to know that the son-of-a-bitch was too close for comfort.

So how could three men enter this woman's house and her dogs not make a peep?

Okay secondly Palin says they were there looking for money, and instead of asking HER for the money they "took off toward her son's room." Now I have no idea how old her son is, but why would they think that HE would be the one holding enough cash to justify a home invasion?

Is he a drug dealer? A child television star? An accountant for the mob?

So then the woman convinces ALL THREE of the men to follow her to her bedroom and they all come, not leaving one lookout in the other room or anything. And once there in the room THEN the dogs finally make an appearance? Where the fuck were they all of this time?

So according to Palin's story the woman then retrieves a gun from somewhere in the bedroom and fires it hitting one of the men in the stomach. (Oh and she loves this part, watch her eyes.)

Now putting all of that aside (Yeah good luck with that!) the point Palin is making is that under newer gun restrictions if this woman lived in New York, which Palin never clarifies, she would not have been able to have that firearm because of its seventeen-round clip. 

Which of course is completely false, since it is the CLIP that is now illegal not the gun.

So to sum up, the entire possibly bullshit story she tells is just to make a false point about gun control, which is easily refuted with a quick Google search.

Gee, I wonder why TAPP pulled the plug on her "channel?"

The unnecessarily sad tale of Levi Johnston.

As many of you already saw the other day, Levi is back in the news.

Well back in the same tabloid news as always that is.

Bristol Palin's baby-daddy, Levi Johnston, is now penniless and living in his mother's Alaska home, a source tells Us Weekly. 

"Levi made more than $1 million and squandered it on guns, boats and four-wheelers," the source says of Playgirl's winter 2010 cover model, 22.  

The cash certainly didn't go to Palin, 21, for their 3-year-old, Tripp. "Levi hasn't paid child support in nearly two years," says another insider. "And he has little contact with Tripp." 

Meanwhile, the onetime mayoral hopeful is expecting a daughter with girlfriend Sunny Oglesby. (They told Inside Edition they plan to name her Breeze Beretta, after the gun.) Says the first source, "Levi is confused about his life." 

I don't have any tangible proof but this leak has the Grizzled Mama, and her nasty little grizzled cub, written all over it. Their anger at Levi is something that is always just boiling under the surface, and they will rarely miss an opportunity to twist the knife, or use Tripp to punish him further.

Sadly this time the information is all too accurate.

Levi actually IS virtually broke and, last I heard, living at home with Sherry.

He has few options and, according to sources, was ripped off by his management team.

Now as many of you remember I became VERY excited early last month when I heard through some contacts that Levi had cut Tank and Rex loose and was ready to spill some potentially damaging beans.

At the time we were ALL very excited since not only did Levi finally walk away from Rex and Tank, but he had ALSO come to believe that they might have been working for Palin all along. (I had suspected this for years by the way.)

As you can imagine THIS was big news, and I was assured it would be revealed during his interview with the Insider.  And lo and behold, it was!

Only for some reason the Insider chose not to air that part of the interview. Why I have no idea.

However I was led to believe that Levi STILL wanted to get that story out, and that his girlfriend Sunny was even MORE determined. So I started to beat the bushes trying to find a legitimate news agency to interview him.

As you can imagine not too many reporters wanted to take another chance on Levi since he had severely damaged his credibility by allowing the Palins to craft that apology in his name, saying that he made up all of the stuff that he told Vanity Fair.

But I did manage to find somebody, and I sent that information to his family in the hopes that he would tell his story to the legitimate press and salvage what was left of his reputation.

I just heard back the other day that Levi is uninterested in talking to the press unless they are willing to pay him. Which of course NO legitimate hard news outlet is willing to do.

Clearly this is the left over residual effect of learning public relations from Tank Jones.

Who, by the way, had this to say about their recent parting of the ways: "I wanted to work on other projects. This was a mutual decision," Jones tells Us of his decision to cease working with the Alaska native. "I would think he would want to do some different things too. I would never leave him at a low point."

Yeah that's bullshit by the way.  The facts are that after Tank and Rex realized their golden goose was no longer producing any easy to market golden eggs, it became virtually impossible for Levi to get them on the phone.

And later after Bristol accused Levi of not paying child support, he found out that even though he had been assured that the payments were being made from his account, that they weren't. And in fact the account was now empty.

Apparently THAT is what happened.

If Levi can prove, through documentation, or even anecdotal evidence (I certainly have some of THAT to provide), that his management team was indeed working for Sarah Palin and that they stole from him, he can have Rex disbarred, and then sue both of them for everything they have. Not to mention that he could attribute virtually every stupid decision that was made on his behalf to their purposefully destructive advice.

Which means that essentially he could repair his damaged reputation, find good legal representation, get at least some of his money and visitation with his son back, and actually have a story to tell that people will WANT to hear.

However as of right now, he is not working toward doing any of that. And he is so poisoned against me, that he flat refuses to even speak to me on the phone, so there is nothing I can do to convince him. Currently he has no access to his son, no money in the bank, and no real prospects for the future.

You know the thing that drives me crazy is that Levi could have actually come out of this thing smelling like a rose, and with his bank account stuffed full of cash, if ONLY he had not signed up with THESE two clowns.

You know life is about learning lessons, it is well past time that Levi learned just WHO he can, and cannot, trust.

Don't you hate when your kid rains all over your political parade?

The 24-year-old son of former Vice President Al Gore was arrested for drug possession on Wednesday after he was stopped for speeding in his hybrid Toyota Prius, a sheriff's official said.

Al Gore III -- whose father is a leading advocate of policies to fight global warming -- was driving his environmentally friendly car at about 100 miles per hour on a freeway south of Los Angeles when he was pulled over by an Orange County sheriff's deputy at about 2:15 a.m.

The deputy smelled marijuana and searched the car, said sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino. The search turned up a small amount of marijuana, along with prescription drugs including Valium, Xanax, Vicodin, Adderall and Soma. There were no prescriptions found, he said.

I am the first one to give somebody a break on their grown child's behavior, but this is just the kind of news that I am sure Al Gore did NOT want to read in the paper. And if Gore was really considering a run for the White House this will definitely give him even more reason to resist the urge.

My favorite part of the story is the fact that the 24 year old was driving a hybrid vehicle full of drugs. So I guess if there is a silver lining to all of this it is that he was at least trying not to contribute to Global Warming.

By the way this would in no way keep me from supporting Al Gore if he was to try for the nomination.
