At the TSA site today, I saw a neat little widget in the bottom left of the from page that was interesting. It said:

TSA Week at a Glance: 12/14/09 to 12/21/09

• 21 passengers were arrested after investigations of suspicious behavior or fraudulent travel documents
• 37 firearms found at checkpoints
• 3 artfully concealed prohibited items found at checkpoints
• 37 incidents that involved a checkpoint closure, terminal evacuation or sterile area breach

You know those work place safety signs? The ones that say “X days since a work loss accident”? Well, set that clock back to zero, TSA. Next weeks will likely say:

TSA Week at a Glance: 12/22/09 to 12/28/09

• 35 passengers were arrested after investigations of suspicious behavior or fraudulent travel documents
• 98 firearms found at checkpoints
• 45 artfully concealed prohibited items found at checkpoints
• 10 incidents that involved a checkpoint closure, terminal evacuation or sterile area breach
• 2 over reactions of flight crew while in flight.
• 1 Bomb allowed on an aircraft
• 1 Bomb ignited while the aircraft was in flight.

Guess it takes just one, huh?

Yet the director of Homeland security says everything worked as it was supposed to… That’s just stupid!

Ok, it’s been a long time since my last post. So much stupid stuff has been going on it’s hard to decide what to talk about… but now, the first failure of the current administration’s war on “man made disasters” seems to be a good place to start.

In a NYTimes article it says:

“When a prominent Nigerian banker and former government official phoned the American Embassy in Abuja in October with a warning that his son had developed radical views, had disappeared and might have traveled to Yemen, embassy officials did not revoke the young man’s visa to enter the United States, which was good until June 2010. Instead, officials said Sunday, they marked the file of the son, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, for a full investigation should he ever reapply for a visa. And when they passed the information on to Washington, Mr. Abdulmutallab’s name was added to 550,000 others with some alleged terrorist connections — but not to the no-fly list. That meant no flags were raised when he used cash to buy a ticket to the United States and boarded a plane, checking no bags.”

Ok, a series of errors here; namely the guy’s DAD calls the American embassy to report him, officials not revoking his visa—but flagging it to be denied to be renewed, adding them to the list of people with terrorist connections but NOT the no-fly list… (editorial note: maybe that’s because the list is to full of 3 year old kids.) But the most important one that should have flagged him is this…

Dude boarded a trans atlantic flight from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Detroit, Michigan and checked NO bags. Good Lord, people!

Then Janet Napolitano, the Homeland Security Secretary, (editorial note: a woman going after the hottie look of Cher’s Morticia Adams, Yet blending it with the Rosie O’Donnell Bull Dyke meets Old Beaver … (Subsequent editors note: The beaver reference was a reference to Jerry Mather’s teeth… not Rosie’s taste in fine dining.)… Give it up lady and just dye that grey patch with some Just for Men.) ….. at any rate…during an interview on “This Week” on ABC says “The system has worked really very, very smoothly over the course of the past several days”… are you serious woman?

A Nigerian fingered by his own father as a radical get on a inter-continental Trans-Atlantic flight— with no baggage, after being on a list of people with terrorist connections, and having his Visa flagged as non-renewable manages to get past who knows how much security at the airport in the Netherlands with both a BOMB strapped to him and some way to LIGHT the thing and the only thing that stopped him were passengers… and that’s a success??? If that were GW, the left would be having a field day—congressional hearings and screaming for impeachment… That’s just stupid!.

I saw a simply awesome looking retro gaming T-Shirt today that I just about bought (even though it was $20 + shipping)… here is a image from their site:

Why didn’t I buy it you ask???? Here’s another image from my site:

Now, THAT’S stupid!

I read in interesting article just now on RFID tags in cellphones and how they could revolutionize the world. Read more about it here.

Basically, the article talks about how the RFID chip in your phone could be used as your house keys or car keys… cool use of technology. It mentions that you could buy a concert ticket and then use your phone as a “ticket” to get into the concert. Another cool use!

WHOA! It dawned on me, wouldn’t the people at the concert ticket “selling place” need my home address when I made the purchase? RFID lock at home + purchased concert ticket = they have my RFID key… to my home. Frightening!

It goes on and talks about the fraud control implications where if your phone wasn’t near where your credit card was used they could logically flag the use as possible fraud. But that would require either a swipe of your phone infront of a RFID reader or a huge network of tracking devices that track your cellphones every movement. (Yes, I know it can currently be done with triangulation.) Who has access to this network?

Frightening stuff…

Now we’ll see if the world ends for the folks living in the areas listed in this article.

Plain and simple, millions of dollars were spent telling people of the switch. They had a chance to get a coupon for a essentially free converter box… and they chose to wait until the very last minute. This article at USAtoday lists the stations that are going ahead and doing the switch… Good for them!

You say you’re going to do something, then do it.

The following TV stations have announced their intention to shut down analog TV broadcasts on Feb. 17, rather than waiting until June 12, the new deadline set by Congress. They’re listed by state and market.

TV stations ending analog service on Feb. 17 - USATODAY.com.

It’s television people! plus the only people effected will be those getting their reception from a over the air antennae… any body out there remember turning the antennae on the outside of the house to get better reception? All the while some one screaming on the inside—– “go back, It was better a second ago!”

Finally, for those of you that remember that… When was the last time you SAW an antennae on a house?

Moving the date is just stupid!

I really hate to keep writing about this. But, stupid stuff happens and despite the nut jobs in Washington this is the stupidest thing going on right now. (Editorial note: This may simply be a media diversion to the $800 Billion dollar spending Economic Stimulus package that has more pork than one of Ms. Piggy’s family reunions.)

If you’re the publicist for Nadya Suleman and your reading this… Shut your client up! Every time she opens her mouth there’s a new revelation that’s both worse and less thought out than the last.

This time at MSNBC.COM there is an article that is titled, Octuplet mom: I’ll raise them on student loans. Here is a quote from that article:

“Do you have any income at all?” TODAY’s Ann Curry asked Nadya Suleman during her exclusive interview with the 33-year-old mother of 14 children.

“At the moment, no,” Suleman replied, adding that she intended to use student loans “temporarily” to pay for her family’s care.

Seriously? That’s not only government aide but I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to use that to pay for school, not living expenses. Doesn’t she know that those will have to be paid back?!?!?!?

Not only that, but the video on the page (here) mentions a tid bit of information that seems to be passed up, thus far in main stream media. She recieved $165,000 in payments over 6 years for a work related injury and disability payments that stopped when she got pregnant. Sounds to me like the she’s a gold digger.

The funny thing is she mentions a “Alternative source of income”, it’s “an alternative way, but it works”… What on earth is this nut job doing to provide income that she can’t say what it is? There’s something else here and my guess is that it will come out in a few interviews.

For now, This is the stupestest stuff out there!

Well, this story just keeps getting better… and stupider by the minute. Msnbc.com reports in their article titled “Octuplet mom: Scrutiny of me is ‘sick’ - Parenting & Family - TODAYshow.com” that the octuplet mom is really kind of sick of people scrutinizing her life after having 8 children after already having 6 children previously, 3 of those 6 being some manner of special needs enough to receive SSI payments.

The Los Angeles Times has reported that Suleman, who had told Curry she has no income, receives $490 a month in food stamps in addition to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments for her 3-year-old son, Aidan, who is autistic, and for two other children who have milder developmental issues. The payments are $600 monthly for each of the three children.

The 33-year-old single mom repeated her belief that she is not receiving welfare.

“I’m not living off of any taxpayer money. If I am, if it’s food stamps, it’s a temporary resource, and it’s only for food,” Suleman said. “It’s an excellent resource if used appropriately and not for too long … We receive no cash. And I’ve never even applied. I’ve never applied.”

Ummm, Most people would call that welfare…

Yes, I know that technically it isn’t because welfare is yet another hand out from the government. However, the fact remains she is receiving $27,480 a year in some form of government payments. (Editorial note: To put that in perspective, if you make less than $13.21 an hour at your 40 hour a week job… that should tick you off, because your working your tail off at a job and this gal is bringing home that staying at home with out driving to work every day watching ‘As The World Turns’. To really send you over the edge… the typical person looses about 30% of their salary to State, Federal, and FICA taxes. These payments are not subject to those taxes so far as I am aware, so if your making less than $17.17 you should be ticked.)

I do hate to break it to you toots, but that money you’re getting… it is taxpayer money and with it being your only source of income… you’re living off it. Not only that, to the point of you not recieving cash… the government doesn’t mail cash to people… they mail checks.

Nadya says she’s going to go back to school to finish a masters degree. A Program that apparently will take 18 months.Again, this woman is just stupid.

Married couples struggle to do this with just a couple kids and Nadya is unmarried and has 14… 8 are infants! Lets assume though, against all odds she actually does it and gets a really great job. I don’t know about in California, but in my part of the country it costs around $150-$200 a week to put a kid in childcare… and that’s being very cheap! But for the sake of a number, lets assume it’s only $150 a week for a child in childcare out in that area of the country where EVERYTHING costs more than other parts of the country. Essentially she’ll be shelling out $2,100 a week to work. Or, $8400 a month for childcare. That’s $109,200 a year in childcare expenses.

What kind of job does she think she’s going to get that pays so well that she’ll be able to afford to work??

This is just… stupid.

And, can anyone actually tell us WHY this sign needed to be posted in the first place?

Recently, We wrote about the Stupid Octuplet mom with 14 kids, well it appears that according to FoxNews the Octuplets’ Mom is on Welfare, Spokesman Confirms - Pregnancy. Below is an interesting piece of information.

The Southern California mother of octuplets receives $490 a month in food stamps and three of her first six children are disabled and receiving federal assistance, her publicist confirmed Monday evening.

Ok. Six Kids, $490 a month in food stamps, an undisclosed amount of money in payments from the government because three of the kids are disabled, no rent because you live with your mother, you’re mother is quoted as saying she gets no money from you to help her with the children or rent, and your mother takes care of them all.

Nice. You definately need a publicist to manage this crap storm.

(Editorial note: Anyone else out there wonder how on eartha woman with 14 kids who lives with her mother can actually afford a publicist?)

This is just stupid!
