I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

This man may be completely loving bonkers, but he's a goddamn hero. :patriot:

I feel like he chose the most boring way to do this. If he pulled up in a bulldozer and ran the monument over I'd be impressed. Or if he somehow convinced the police that the crane he brought was taking the monument temporarily so they could fix a typo and then drop it from three hundred feet. Or if he made a battering ram in the shape of Kali.

Smashing a car into it? There' no pizazz.

Jesus, kid, you're almost a detective. All you need now is a gun, a gut, and three ex-wives.
Michigan AG's Campaign Manager/"Senior Advisor" sends an email during work hours from his personal Gmail to an unknown group labeled "Interested Parties" containing a memo about the Flint Water Crisis charges a few hours after the AG had a press conference announcing the charges. A local news group gets a copy of that email and asks the AG's office about why he's emailing an official memo out with his private email account during work hours in violation of state law. Overall it was a pretty minor thing involving already public information but then the AG's office commences one of the dumbest coverups undertaken by a public office.

http://greatlakesbeacon.org/2017/06/28/foia-proves-ags-office-scrambled-to-make-private-e-mail-public/

quote:

On June 19th, the GLB reached out to Hills and Schuette spokesperson Andrea Bitely for further information about who the memo was sent to, why Hills was using his personal e-mail, and more. That e-mail was sent around 12:11 p.m.

Bitely responded at 1:24 p.m., “The memo you are referring to is a public memo shared as a supplementary explanation of the AG’s announcement Wednesday,” she wrote. “As such, I am happy to provide you with a link to where this is housed on the Department website (link to pdf provided), alongside the press releases, report and other public documents here: (link to Flint-related materials provided).”

But it appeared the page Bitely said was public was only created at 12:49 p.m. that day, after the GLB inquired about the memo, by Beth Nurenberg, an analyst for the Department of Attorney General.

Now, a FOIA returned by the attorney general’s office proves the office was indeed trying to cover it up by calling what was clearly not a public e-mail, public.

At 12:27 p.m. – roughly 15 minutes after the GLB inquired about the memo – Bitely sent an e-mail to Harmony Glashower, a department analyst, to have items added to the AG’s Flint Water Crisis webpage, including the memo. Bitely forwarded the e-mail to Nurenberg within 10 minutes of the request to Glashower.

Nurenberg, around 1:05 p.m., sent an e-mail to Bitely saying she was still working on the press release. Bitely responded, “Can you change the header to say ‘Press Releases, Memos and Reports’? That will clear it all up.”

By 1:29 p.m., Nurenberg e-mailed Bitely to indicate she was done.

It was around this time, of course, that the GLB was told the documents were public. Within five minutes, the GLB requested more information in a response to Bitely: “When was this posted online, where it’s currently at? Why is Rusty using a personal email for it? Is there a list of recipients he sent the e-mail to?”

Bitely never responded to those requests for comment.

Holy poo poo! I'm watching it at work and I had to stop because the pain from stifling my laughter is too much. The effort they put into these things, and the multiple layers... it's less a TV show and more a way of life.

There's also this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uBIUbALBWek

The setup is: in the no-laughing games, if you laugh, you get hit. Hosei, in the completely protectionless costume, keeps making them laugh and get hit, and because his face is covered, he thinks he he can't be caught...they can't see him laughing, so he's safe. Matsumoto has a 'joint liability card', where for ten minutes it doesn't matter who laughs..everyone gets hit, not just the person who laughs. And then that happens.

A bouncy castle kingpin in Australia had his hired thugs torch several other rival businesses, eventually causing over $2 million in damage and no doubt ruining hundreds of kids parties and school fetes. When things got too hot he had his own bouncy castle storage shed torched to avoid suspicion. He got busted anyway.

Good. Hope he dies in jail. He was accused in 2002 but his victim at the time was coerced into not going to the police.
