Lawrence, MA's Semi-Annual Day Where Police Actually Do Their Job was this Past Week.


LAWRENCE (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Massachusetts state police swept the city of Lawrence today, making dozens of arrests for outstanding warrants. Many residents got wake-up calls by police officers and federal agents. One-by-one, 39 people were arrested and arraigned in Lawrence District Court on outstanding warrants. State and local police worked with federal agencies bring the suspects in on everything from felony crimes and money owed to the court to larceny and weapons charges...

Ahh, my favorite semi-annual Lawrence news story.  The old "we've been lazy about actually arresting people with warrants out, hoping they'd turn themselves in and now we have to go out and do some actual police work today, lets alert the local media and round up these criminals today" day.  

Here's an idea, just go arrest these guys when the warrant is orginally served.  I mean what kind of message are we sending here? Giving 6 month notice prior to arrests? And in a city like Lawrence? How many of those warrants did you go to serve only to find out they targets fled to their native Dominican Republic? 50%? 

Complete incompetency.

Google's Got Some Obvious Suggestions for Chris Bosh


I was trying to find some material to make fun of Chris Bosh with following his sorry fainting spell in the runway after their loss in the finals.  Sadly it doesn't seem like much footage has made its way to the internets yet. Fortunately, Google did the work for me.

I challenge anyone to find another athlete where the second suggestion from Google is "gay" after their name.   You can't do it.  90% of the time its something like highlights, stats, GF, Wife, or something like "shoes."  Some get gay thrown in there but its way down on the list.  Hell even notoriously rumored gay athletes like Eddie George and Kordell Stewart don't even pop that high up on the list.  It doesn't even pop on Arod's list, which to me, is astounding. 

Connecticut Man Believe's He's Part of International Terror Plot When He Mistakenly Receives a Fedex Package



COLUMBIA — Police cars, a firetruck and the Mid-Missouri Bomb Squad lined a section of Walnut Street between Fifth and Seventh streets in response to the delivery of a suspicious package to the Columbia Police Department. A Columbia man brought the package to the front desk of the department and told police he had received it at his home. He was concerned with what looked like Arabic writing on the label, Sgt. Jill Wieneke of the Columbia Police Department said. The man, who lives on the southwest side of town, told police the package was labeled with the correct address but was not addressed to him, Wieneke said. Police removed the package from the building and set it outside on Sixth Street between Walnut and Broadway, she said. The bomb squad arrived at about 5:50 p.m. and X-rayed the package about 25 minutes later. The bomb squad cut out the bottom of the package and revealed a piece of household electronic equipment, which the bomb squad determined was harmless, Wieneke said. She said the name on the package appeared to be an Arabic name, but there was no other Arabic writing on it.

Get a load of this guy, just some average Joe living in Connecticut, thinks he's part of some international terrorism plot? Come on bro, use your head.

In the words of George Costanza: "What, did you think its a bomb? Oh, the ego on you. Who's going to bomb you?"

Me? I could be bomb worthy, I've taken my fair share of shorts at everyone from the disabled, elderly, religious, extremists, Arabs, Canadians, Germans, handicaps, babies, minorities, the deceased, the list goes on and on.  But you? You're just some schmuck. 

Seriously, I'm fairly certain Moammar Gaddafi and his men have a few other things on their mind right now, they don't have time to be overnighting bombs to your average WASP in America, don't flatter yourself.

Next time just do what CW does when he gets an errant package.  Open it up, if you like it, keep it, if not just send it back and apologize for opening it before you read the label.  I just assumed that's what everyone does.

Lebron James' Thoughts on Choking and Losing the Championship are 100% Right



ESPN - “All the people that were rooting me on to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life they had before,” James said. “They have the same personal problems they had to today. I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want with me and my family and be happy with that.” “They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy that not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal,” James said. “But they’ll have to get back to the real world at some point.” 

It's hard for me to admit this, because I hate him so much, but Lebron James is dead on, 100% right here. I mean yea I'm basking in his failed glory this morning, but I'm also up at 8 AM, getting ready for a job I strongly dislike, dealing with some sort of mid-summer allergy situation that's got my nose running like a faucet, and still wishing I could just go and do whatever the hell I want to do without worrying about the future and responsibilities.  

Basically I want to live like a 5 year old, and quite frankly, that's exactly what LBJ gets to do, despite his horrific failures time and time again.  Yea he may have cooler toys, a Bentley in place of the big wheels, probably a home gym instead of a hoop attached to the garage, but everything equal he's a 5 year old kid and he loves every minute of it. 

That's probably why he seems so dis-engaged in late game playoff situations, because he's already won the championship so many times in his driveway or home gym in his vivid, child-like imagination.  Just posting up imaginary defenders, throwing spin moves against the air, shit he probably prematurely celebrates in his fantasies too.  

So don't tell him he hasn't won anything yet, he's won 1000 times in his mind, and this morning he's probably waking up and doing it all over again, meanwhile I'm trying to figure out how many  more days until retirement...and I'm the same age as him.

Is this News Anchor Banging her Intern?



I have a strong suspicion there's at least one teen intern nodding approvingly off camera, he couldn't agree more.
