Droning On 0

Stupid droners drone on.

Innocent out-of-town yahoo plays with his new toy, gets remonstrated with.

Seattle police continue to frown upon people using private drones for their own kicks.

Space Needle security called police just before 8:30 p.m. Tuesday after guests reported seeing a small drone buzz the top of the tower, according to police reports.

Witnesses claimed they saw the white drone, equipped with a camera, fly back to a hotel two blocks east of the Space Needle and land inside a fifth-floor unit.

I sympathize with the cops.

More stuff you couldn’t make up.

The more I think about this, the less I sympathize with the twit.

Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up.

I’ve seen drivers eating, shaving, even reading books propped on their steering wheels at low and high speeds, but I haven’t seen that.

The Internet Is a Public Place, v. 134212432 0

I think this qualifies as “asking for it.”

While he was being cited for indecent exposure — he was in “an indecent state” at a public swimming pool, police said — a Fayette County man allegedly invited a police officer to check out his YouTube channel.

The officer did. And what he watched led to additional charges.

Turns out Zachary Peak showed off his marijuana-growing operation on the online site, according to Peachtree City police.

Sick-Making 0

When I was a toddler, my parents nearly died of the mumps, which is quite serious in adults. I’m old enough to remember when parents lived in fear that their children would catch whooping cough and other diseases that, because of vaccinations, have become no longer a worry–at least, not until the recent anti-vax fraud and the hysterical fools who fell for it.

California is in the throes of a whooping cough epidemic, state health department officials announced Friday.

Dr. Ron Chapman, director of the California Department of Public Health, said 3,458 cases of whooping cough have been reported since Jan. 1 — including 800 in the past two weeks. That total is more than all the cases reported in 2013.

I trust that Jenny McCarthy and her ilk are happy about the harm they have done.

Lost in a Lost World 0

Oh, my.

A Central Florida man who called 911 to say he was lost and being chased by wild hogs was arrested after, deputies say, they found stolen property in his backpack.

Andrew James Joffe, 24, of Chuluota, called 911 in Polk county around 1:50 a.m. Thursday, saying he didn’t known his exact location, but that he was walking somewhere along Deen Still Road.

The “stolen property” in his kit included, amongst other items, a GPS device.
