In Case You Missed It: Palestine makes people angry by telling the UN it’s a country. Seems like they didn’t really have any other remotely tenable options.
Charlie Sheen Looks Into the Mirror and Cries: In an entirely smug, self-satisfied way, while grabbing tons of press attention for saying he’d fire himself.
Awful: An 18-year-old in Marysville has been charged with “two counts of first-degree child molestation and one count of first-degree child rape.” He turned 18 eight days ago, and his mother owns the daycare where the allegations took place. Trying really hard not to libel here.
Tragedy at an Air Show: Results in really cool explosions (and three deaths; 50 hospitalizations.)
No Shit: Obama Says U.S. Still Hurting From Wall Street Crisis of 2008
Alleged Serial Bank Robber Caught: Sentence of the day: Massena allegedly admitted that a dye pack exploded on his pants after the Monroe bank robbery.
Why Is Our State So Fucked Up This Weekend? Allegedly, if you kill a judge in Thurston County, you’ll get an eight ball of meth from this suspect!
Get Ready! Windows 8 is coming, and people have touched it! The Stranger has signed on for an early company lease option.
Wow. Today sucks so far. Here’s a clip of chimps seeing sunlight for the first time. (They get super emotional and start hugging each other.)
Wrong, no explosions at Reno race crash. Look like pilot cut the fuel supply to the engine, likely saving hundreds from horrible burns.
Maybe having 74 year old’s piloting aircraft built during the Roosevelt administration at high speeds isn’t such a great idea?
Everytime you stop and look around..somethin’ else just hit the ground.
Everything is broken.
Looking forward to the Blue Angels! Ka-BOOOM!
“Maybe having 74 year old’s piloting aircraft built during the Roosevelt administration at high speeds isn’t such a great idea? “
Spoken like a true American’t. Maybe we shouldn’t ever do anything because somebody might get hurt?
I know a man who was a judge in Thurston Cty about 20 years ago who was shot at as he came out of his house. He’d already been shot twice before in his life, in Vietnam (first time, grazed, second time nearly killed him) so that was his last day as a judge.
One of those chimps seemed worried about losing her Goth pallor.
Obama should be using every opportunity to blast the Republican call for deregulation. Every time the Republicans deregulate something it creates another catastrophe like the crash of 2008. Or the Savings and Loan crash. And on and on. Haven’t we paid a dear enough price yet for their utter foolishness?
I hate it when things go wrong at airshows.
Also there’s that whole Occupy Wall Street thing going on.
God. I’m not letting my kid outside ever again. She stays with me until she’s thirty.
So the mother of the child molester knew he’d molested kids in Idaho, didn’t report him, didn’t mention it when she applied for a new license in Washington state, and now, after he raped a five year old in her care, she’s appealing to get her license back? Why isn’t she in jail?
Terribly sad to read of all the deaths and injuries from the air show crash of the P-51 Mustang. While I admire the feats performed at a good (non-military-jet) airshow, I have always hated the military jet ones allowed over our residential areas. But the ones held at airstrips, with prop-plane daredevils and people eager to watch them risk everything – that’s something uniquely compelling. I’d never go to one, but daredevilling has always held a place, hasn’t it? Evel Kneivel, Man on Wire, all that stuff.
I read last week that a woman named Betty Skelton just passed away peacefully at 85 – up against barriers to women pilots in her youth she became a pioneering airshow daredevil who held almost twenty aviation and landspeed records over the decades. Among her many exploits, the moment she once set a speed record of 451 mph in a P-51, the engine exploded.
@11, On the positive side, she has only a 1 in 3,200 chance of being hit by NASA’s returning satellite next week.
ehm, the chimps hug each other for comfort and reassurance because they are scared shitless, which is chimp behavior 101, you can also see this by their baring their teeth (chimps dont smile either, if a chimps “smiles” at you better keep your fingers out of reach if you want to enjoy them a bit longer).
i think the fact that these chimps are so scared for “nature” and “freedom” is even more of a tearjerker than if you think they are happy.
but rest assured, they will start to enjoy their new freedom soon enough
“Seems like they didn’t really have any other remotely tenable options”. I know this might seem controversial, but how about not boycotting peace talks?
@14: Bunker.
omg.
We thought Danny said day care operations were regulated and background checked and much safer than, say, churches for children….
just.o.m.g…….
Okay, Unpaid Intern. I usually love you and rally around you and cheer you on, but “…really cool explosions”–yuck! There had to be a better and even clever way to intro this headline. Wish you could have a do over.
