They’ve figured it out. To attract women voters, they need to be more lowfalutin.

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.

The best analogy that occurs to me is investigating the effects of alcohol by chugging a quart of Wild Turkey.

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.

Via the Orlando Sentinel.

Wheeling twits.

And yet more perfectly good electrons go to a pointless and empty end.

A Text Case 0

Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, has instituted a SMS (that’s “texting”) 9-1-1 service. Natch, no one could have predicted . . . .

Later that evening, Allegheny County’s 911 center received its first emergency text message, county spokeswoman Amie Downs said. She did not have the exact language of the message, but she said it was someone reporting a possible drunken driver in the city of Pittsburgh.

The language of the message “seemed to indicate that they themselves were driving,” she said.

Pennsylvania has banned texting while driving since 2012.

Selfie Incrimination 0

You can’t make this stuff up.

Before setting out early yesterday to rob a Kentucky market, the 28-year-old took a moment to snap a selfie that shows him posing in his white burglar’s mask, police report.

Lawson allowed deputies to examine his cell phone, a review that, deputies reported, yielded “a (Selfie) picture that he had taken of himself wearing the mask prior to the burglary.”

Avoid the Draft and You Won’t Get the Fever 0

Sports writer extraordinaire Bob Molinaro explains why NFL draft and the attendant fuss is, as my mother would have said, the biggest nothing. Old timers remember when it was enough to read about it the next morning over coffee, without the beer and ripple chips.

There is more live action in an episode of Sponge Bob.

The TV coverage of the draft is hype, a scam, a con, a something-made-from-nothing so that ESPN can sell higher-priced commercials. It has no other reason for being.

Every time I think I have seen the biggest nothing, a bigger nothing comes along.
