AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd has been bailed to a Tauranga address after being charged with attempting to procure two murders.

WTF is going on?
lawsuit now?

In Australia people complain that Aborignees move in to a neighborhood, stay drunk all the time, don't work, strew garbage about, etc. Its a lifestyle thing, but in New Zealand its more political, the Maori want to move back into any area where large homes were built and make claims about ancestral land so they enter homes at will.

Every media outlet occasionally screws up and prints something totally 100% wrong [see: Rather, Dan]. But some mistakes are more ridiculous than others. Case in point: Brietbart couldn't figure out that the 2 women in the photos below are different women? Just because they have the same name doesn't mean they're the same woman. All it takes is a quick glance at the photos, no magnifying glass required.



In other news, Breitbart has also retracted their story that the late Illinois Senator Paul Simon is singing duets with Art Garfunkel.

More proof that more and more Americans have nothing real in their lives.

year.

22 days times 20 hours a day (assuming they take breaks to actually shower) and you get 440 hours. Their time is what, 50 cents an hour when it is all said and done, and that does not count any extra expenses of camping out (MRE, etc,)

Maybe as much as I do not get pop culture I get it even less than I think?

No, look at the pic and estimate the
intelligence quotient. I'm serious,
this is their high point for the year.

Looked at the pic, same kind of folks I see at the courthouse all the time. Still a sad state of the USA these days.

Getting sued by Fingerhut, no doubt, for
non payment.

I noticed this bit in the story about the girl recently kidnapped on video who was rescued. That the gps was installed in the car that guy bought, as a precaution against financially risky customers.

Didn't know they were doing that, but not really surprised. No doubt he got it free of charge.

That is getting fairly big now. some places even install two, one a dummy as some customers remove them. Was an article I forget where about how the dealers need to be careful about activating the kill-switch in traffic, etc. And naturally some advocates who say it is unfair to disable a car of a customer who refuses to pay for it.
