Maryland Police Respond to Hostage Situation After Gunman Enters BuildingHere is more on the suspect.
“Police in Maryland are responding to a possible hostage situation after reports that a man with a handgun entered the Discovery Channel headquarters building in Silver Spring and fired one shot.”
Eco-terrorist pursued ‘core manifesto’ of ‘green’ movementI would rather dream about motorcycle ads than dream about sorting and folding laundry.
“Experts who watched with horror as an eco-terrorist threatened the lives of workers at the Discovery Channel office complex are calling for answers from former Vice President Al Gore, whose 1990s writings in Earth in the Balance and subsequent video.”
MacheteThe day is starting to become a little better, quite frustrating until now. I like this T.V. ad:
Machete (Danny Trejo) is a renegade former ‘Mexican Federale’. He roams the cities, towns, and streets of Texas looking for work after a shakedown from a drug lord called Torrez (Steven Segal).
‘Yes.’Christopher Hurt screams,
“Wait. Are you asking, ‘Yes’, or saying ‘Yes’?”
“Yes.”
“Peggy?”
(dial tone)
“JEB BUSH! OH MY GOD! JEB BUSH’S COMING!
I KNOW ‘M! I KNOW ‘M!”
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush visits JCCC
“Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush visited JCCC Thursday morning to discuss education reform at an invitation-only town hall meeting.
He was on stage with U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback, who’s the Republican candidate for governor and was one of six candidates invited to visit JCCC by the school’s Student Senate as part of a Campaign 2010 initiative.
The JCCC Student Senate has also invited state Sen. Jeff Colyer, Brownback’s running mate; state Sen. Tom Holland, the Democratic candidate for governor; state Sen. Kelly Kultala, Holland’s running mate; state Rep. Kevin Yoder, the Republican candidate for the third Congressional district, and Stephene Moore, the Democratic candidate for the third Congressional district, to the campus.
Read more about what Bush had to say here.”
Denton might join me in shouting that. I will be volunteering on Saturdays with him, working on a local campaign for a state-level representative, but those days we should be finished well before the start of the shows at the Roving Imp Theater, and certainly the start of anime on Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network.
Experience old and new Japan at JCCC on Oct. 2
“Japanese visual and performing arts, language, costumes, sports, gardening, cuisine and more come alive at the 13th annual Greater Kansas City Japan Festival from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2, at the Carlsen Center, Johnson County Community College, presented by the Heart of America Japan-America Society and Japan Festival committee and JCCC.Last night, Christopher Hurt received a call from a phone survey from DNC Services about the third Congressional district, and I swear that the recorded voice became louder when I chose the option to indicate that I was Republican. Typical, like your girlfriend.
Tickets cost $10 for adults, $5 for students and children and free for those younger than 5.
This year’s festival keeps annual favorites — classical Japanese performances of koto, shamisen and buyo dancers; a formal opening ceremony with the ritual breaking of the sake barrel and toast; exhibits of kimonos, hina dolls, ikebana (flower arranging) and bonsai; anime and manga; children’s activities like origami and portraits in kimono or samurai armor; Japanese candy artist; and calligraphy, Japanese conversation, tea ceremony and martial arts workshops.
New additions include Japan’s pop singer Aya Uchida; Kuniko Yamamoto, a traditional Japanese storyteller; the group God of Shamisen (the shamisen is a traditional Japanese stringed instrument); and a bunraku puppet group (a famous and traditional form of Japanese puppet art).
A large selection of food and beverages will be offered. Festival-goers can sample traditional Japanese food from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. and enjoy a Japanese beer and sake tasting event from 4-7 p.m.
For a complete list of events go to www.kcjapanfestival.org. Call 913-469-8500, ext. 3470, for more information.
JCCC has hosted the Greater Kansas City Japan Festival since 2004.”
I shall not resist, Dictionary.com, the need to cachinnate tonight at The Roving Imp Theater and Roving Imp Coffee House.
ReplyDeleteUGH! I forgot to ask you to tell me about that ad last/tonight (not sure which one works best).
ReplyDeleteStupid psycological preocumpations!
I'm glad the campaigning won't keep you from the Imp on Saturday nights. I was thinking wouldn't that interfere with going to the Imp as I was reading that.
Differently than what I said on facebook about your phone call, I find it rather interesting as to why they would be calling up someone who is a *registered* republican. As a *registered* democrat, I've never gotten calls like that...just calls involving fellow democrats.
Just out of curriosity, did the message have an option for other parties besides the two main ones?
Well, it was an automated call from DNC Services to assess for whomever the respondent would vote. I speculate that DNC Services just bought a list of phone numbers... although one of my e-mail accounts does receive messages from Organizing for America.
ReplyDeleteIndependents could vote Democrat.
