All you have to do is be polite, record the conversation (in the open), and tell them that if they touch your genitals, you will charge them with assaullt. Admittedly, this approach only applies to people entering the US from overseas (did you know you had to be re-screened AFTER customs?).

Should I buy this app for Sierra's phone and let the cats destroy it?

I am torn here. James O'Keefe is the jackass that posed as a pimp to try and frame ACORN and he also broke into a congressman's office trying to tap her phone lines. But now he finally went after an easy target. Posing as...well a friendly guy, he started speaking with Alissa Ploshnick about teaching while secretly recording the conversation. Well she went on a roll and told him a story about a teacher that called a kid the N-word and didn't get fired. And now that the jackass has released the tape, she got suspended for breaking ranks and telling the truth about teachers unions.

Magnetic lingerie - Public reaction has been both positive and negative.

Bicyclist Dr. Steven Milo was hit from behind by Martin Joel Erzinger's Mercedes. Erzinger then fled the scene, leaving Milo with spinal cord injuries and bleeding from his brain. Eagle, Colorado District Attorney Mark Hurlbert, commented that because Erzinger is a Morgan Stanley banker that manages $1 billion in assets, a felony would be too harsh a penalty for hitting someone with your car and leaving them for dead. Am I paraphrasing? Let's take a loot at the quotes:

Hurlbert said Erzinger is willing to take responsibility and pay restitution.

“Felony convictions have some pretty serious job implications for someone in Mr. Erzinger's profession, and that entered into it,” Hurlbert said. “When you're talking about restitution, you don't want to take away his ability to pay.”

“We have talked with Mr. Haddon and we had their objections, but ultimately it's our call,” Hurlbert said.

Dropping the felony charge is not a revelation, Hurlbert said.

“We had been talking with them about this misdemeanor disposition for a while now,” Hurlbert said. “The misdemeanor charges really are what he did."

Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, I think one thing will have full partisan support. Ron Paul is now the ranking member on the Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology on the Financial Services...which oversees the Federal Reserve. In case you didn't know, Ron Paul wants to end the Federal Reserve. It is now up to the Republicans to vote him in.

Look here for the undistorted version. I don't know which ones is more funny.

This is a very interesting article on how much we could save by cutting different government programs. While I don't agree with all of them (cutting the federal highway program, Repeal Obamacare, etc.) here are LOTS of good ideas for things we can cut to save:

$44,000,000,000
Halve federal program payment errors by 2012, especially by reducing Medicare errors and earned income tax credit errors.
Tighten oversight by spending $5 billion on new resources, such as updated computer systems, and then recover $49 billion in payment errors.

$12,500,000,000
Halve the $25 billion spent to maintain vacant federal properties.

$29,000,000
Eliminate the Overseas Private Investment Corporation.

$2,250,000,000
Eliminate Federal Communications Commission funding for school Internet service (90% of which is wasted on equipment that never gets installed).

*Note - the numbers listed on the website are listed as millions of dollars. So when it shows "$12,000" it really means $12,000,000,000.

HA! A thug was stabbed when he tripped over his sagging pants that fell to his ankles as he tried to run away.

A photographer is suing the state of Texas because a new inspection sticker being distributed by the state uses a picture he took without permission. The sticker was designed by a prison inmate.
