    MrSpkr's random thoughts . . .

    And it only took them half an hour to call the cops
    College chicks are weird. Really, really weird:
    Police have been unable to locate a woman who entered the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house without permission on Thursday and began to masturbate on a couch.

    . . .

    Fraternity members asked the woman to leave the house, but she refused and continued masturbating for about half an hour, Nye said.

    . . .

    She walked out of the front door wearing only a thigh-length black coat after a fraternity member called the police, Nye said. When police arrived minutes later, the woman had already left.

    Wow. How . . . bizarre.

    A savvy political move . . .
    that could set Obama apart from other black Presidential candidates such as Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton.

    What could that be? Simply this: the demand for an investigation of possible civil rights violations by a Democrat prosecutor who brought what appear to be baseless charges against white college students from wealthy families.

    In other words, Obama is flipping the civil rights paradigm on its head. Until now, prominent civil rights investigations almost always involved investigations of whites accused of violating a minority citizen's civil rights (such as Rodney King, the shooting of Sean Bell, etc., etc.). Now, Obama seeks to have a white prosecutor who apparently made unfounded accusations against a group of privileged white college students, then covered up evidence which would tend to vindicate the accused, held responsible violating those students' civil rights. By doing this, Obama is trying to take the center away from his Democrat rivals and attempting to secure an important demographic: the Southern white male.

    If it plays well (and there is no reason to suspect it won't), it could significantly hurt Hillary's campaign by forcing her to compete for these voters (whose values are often at odds with those of her leftist base).

    This is getting more interesting by the minute.

    Let's see . . . Convenience store is closed -- check.
    Use trash bin to climb up to roof -- check.
    Rip open rooftop grill vent -- check.
    Lower myself through the grill vent and into the store -- oops.

    A worker at the Express Mart in the 7400 block of Harry Hines Boulevard entered the store about 9:30 a.m. and found a pair of legs hanging through the vent hood above the grill, said Dallas police Senior Cpl. Janice Crowther.

    The man apparently got stuck and suffocated, she said.

    Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to the scene and had to use special cutting tools to remove and pull the body back out from the roof, she said.


    The real question is, will this idiot's family sue the store owner for wrongful death? I mean, the owner should have known that someone would try to break in through the roof and taken steps to make it safer, right?

    Sigh.

    Here is the video. I hope nobody else in the area needed a fireman this morning . . . this clown seems to have tied up quite a few of them.
