Snopes has the story on this. It's totally fake.

Well chicks dig the girth.

Well chicks dig the girth.

You could try calling it "Gearth", it's so large.

Totally fake, but totally appropriate.

In other St. Louis news, a Bosnian man was beat to death with hammers by a group of young men, 4 of 5 which are black. The city police are claiming they are trying to figure out the motive, but it was most certainly a planned attack on a random person (who happens to be white). I would bet everything I own that they were saying "This is for Mike Brown" as they beat him to death. Of course, the media will ignore that part if the police ever comment on motive.

A little like the media ignored what I call the "EBT Bombers". Last week two St. Louis men were arrested in a sting to buy pipe bombs. They were planning on bombing the Arch and killing a couple of police officials (related to Ferguson unrest). So, they bought a gun using their welfare EBT card and tried to buy the pipe bombs using an EBT card also. The awesomely stupid part of the story is that when they were buying the pipe bomb from the federal agent, they wanted to buy more but that they couldn't until their baby's momma's EBT rolled over again.

So, just so you guys know (in case you already didn't), the media will never tell you the whole story related to Ferguson. The next day after the "EBT Bombers" story broke, I asked several of my relatives if they heard the story. I believe most read something about it, but NONE knew about the part where they tried to but weapons with an EBT card. They were shocked. I wasn't, the local media walks on egg shells when it comes to reporting negative things about blacks.

You would think the weight of the awesome amount of common sense would eventually crush this stupidity, but never ever underestimate the power of the media to be morons.

The Media are no more a bunch of morons than the folks at McDonalds who create the menu items are morons. They just have no shame. Mainstream news is now a consumer product. If it sells then it ships, end of story.

You want fries with that?

Both Fox and Daily caller ran that story, but you had to read most of both articles to discover how they intended to pay for their misdeeds.

Swatter's story is poetic and sums up all the problems we've been discussing. Is there any plan anywhere in the country to end welfare dependence? The last time I heard it discussed seriously Clinton was president.

Nope.

The plan back then wasn't too bad. In the current economy, however, we'd simply be kicking people off the dole into the cold. The circumstances will have to be right to make this a priority and be able to make it work.

[Gusington]

It's institutionalized now...waiting longer will only cement the problem more.

Good point, but my point is they're purposefully doing what is NOT right.

Case in point, this idiot that got himself choked to death in NYC. The morons are out protesting and shutting down the Westside Highway in Manhattan, causing gridlock for miles and miles, demanding 'justice.' Local news reported how protesters were 'seeking justice' because the police 'killed an unarmed African-American man' (their words exactly).

They completely failed to mention that this guy had been arrested 31 times previously. Thirty. Freakin'. One. Times. He knew the drill. You don't fight the cops, dammit. And the media failed to mention anything about why the cops were trying to subdue him. Just that they killed him. So it sounds as if the cops just chose some innocent black guy off the street and decided to kill him for the hell of it.

Opie and Jim's Sirius XM radio show are talking about this at length right now, since they're in Manhattan. On top of Ferguson, the media's handling of this is reprehensible and, in my opinion, borderline criminal.
