Tortured And Mutilated Dogs Being Found In KC Area Cemeteries

I first heard started hearing about this story from my high school kids over a month ago, and I immediately figured it was one of those urban myths kids like to tell. But I looked into it and saw some news reports on the case in the smaller neighborhood newspapers. I’d link to the articles I found then, but they’ve already been archived.

Eventually bigger news outlets started reporting that tortured and mutilated dogs have been getting dumped at cemeteries for the past six months. At least 10 dogs have been found at the Lee’s Summit cemetery, alone.

NBC Action News reported on 3/29:

The Sheriff’s Department said officers were close to catching a suspect and had planned a surveillance operation to nab him or her in the act, but officers said another local media outlet ran the story before they could set the surveillance.

Various breeds have been discovered, Montgomery said in a press release Saturday, and none could be connected with any known missing dog reports.

I almost posted a story on it, but decided I’d wait and see if any more dog carcasses showed up.

One just did:

One of the earlier reports I’d read included a mutilated dog carcass that had shown up in a Kansas City neighborhood, that they thought might have been connected to the Lee’s Summit ones as well.

Something very creepy and evil is afoot in my community. Dog owners need to be on high alert.

Say Goodbye To The Easter Bunny

Say hello to the “Spring Bunny”.

Yes, yes, of course this had to happen. It’s the logical extension of the war on Christmas. If we can’t have Christmas trees, why should we be able to have an Easter Bunny?

Some other non offensive names being used by malls across America are Baxter the Bunny, Peter Rabbit, and Garden Bunny.

Tom Purcell at FrontPageMagazine says:

Peter Rabbit was the name of choice for a Rhode Island school superintendent who, according to ABCnews.com, decided the Easter Bunny ought not visit his school district.

His decision made the ACLU happy. After all, as one ACLU fellow said, schools shouldn’t be in the business of promoting Easter celebrations.

Which leads to some interesting questions: What is the Easter celebration, anyhow? What is the origin of the Easter Bunny?

Lawrence Cunningham, a University of Notre Dame theology professor, said in the San Francisco Chronicle that the Easter Bunny has little to do with religion.
“The bunny is a fertility symbol with no religious connection to Easter,” he said. “The egg, which was popularized in Greece, Russia, and Eastern Europe in connection with Easter, does not have a religious connection to Easter. By taking away the term ‘Easter,’ these symbols to some extent return to their pre-Christian roots as symbols of spring fertility.”

In other words, somewhere along the line, the furry fellow got twisted up with the resurrection of Jesus. Somewhere along the line, he started wearing a vest and handing out eggs and candy. It took a bit of time — hundreds of years or more — for the Easter tradition I knew as a kid to evolve.

But the fascists at the ACLU have no interest in allowing things to evolve naturally. Through their intimidation, holiday traditions are forced to change dramatically overnight.

And what’s the point? The Spring Bunny is just as apt as the Easter Bunny to give your children an unhealthy sugar buzz that will last for days.

It will always be an Easter Bunny to me and mine, no matter what the forces of political correctness choose to call it.

Dog Poop Trail Leads Police To Perp

The unlikely heroes in this crime story are two of the family’s four dogs, a Great Pyrenees named Comet and a chow named Snowball who use the family’s front yard as a dumping ground.

Police were able to find a man accused of drunkenly driving into their yard by following their noses after he walked away through droppings left by Comet and Snowball.

Josue Herrios-Coronilla, 18, was driving his black Camaro on the wrong side of the road, and crashed into the front yard of the McDonald family, while they slept.

“My daughter came running into the room and said, ‘Dad, there are headlights right outside my window.’ “

McDonald called police, and when they arrived, they saw felled fencing, crushed bushes and the inoperable car. The driver was gone.

At this point the driver, drunk, and probably unsteady, fumbled his way through the yard, stepping in big piles of doggie doo, and back to the street. Durham police Sgt. Dale Gunter noticed a fresh shoe print in a pile of poop, and “an odoriferous trail” leading down the street.

I guess that’s what’s called a “fresh lead”.

Gunter followed the path and stopped a white van driving toward him, asking the passenger, Herrios-Coronilla, to get out. The officer smelled his breath. He smelled alcohol.

Then, he looked at the man’s shoes. They were covered in evidence.

A breath test showed Herrios-Coronilla had a blood-alcohol level of 0.11, Gunter said. The legal limit is 0.08. He was charged with driving while impaired and drinking underage, and was released from the Durham County jail Wednesday on $1,500 bail.

The McDonald family’s yard was a little torn up, but now they have a great story to share with friends and relatives for years to come.

Sith Lord Cheney Dresses Dogs Up for Halloween

Cheney of course, is often referred to as Darth Vader, most Recently by Mrs. Clinton, who told supporters at a NY fundraiser in September:

“You can always tell when the Republicans are restless — because the Vice President’s motorcade pulls into the Capitol. Darth Vader emerges. And honestly I’m not invited to their meetings I don’t know what he says or does.”

Man Leaves Pet Store With Puppy In His Pants

The Florida man preferred the highly coveted, Sandy Berger Method of burglary:

According to Largo police, three or four men, two women, and a child walked into All About Puppies pet store at 7190 Ulmerton Road. They hovered around the puppy-filled cages. Then one man grabbed hold of the brown pug.

A surveillance camera caught the bizarre theft of the $900 dog:

He put it in his shirt at first, according to police, but then he looked for a better place to conceal it.

The unnamed man tried farther south, stowing the dog in the front of his pants.

Pug meet choad.

Then he left the store. The group followed.

Seriously, it doesn’t take an overactive imagination to foresee certain complications arising from this whole deal…. but the guy was lucky, and got away with no problems.

Police say the pup is implanted with a tracking chip so the next time it goes to the vet, it will be recognized as stolen.

Bmac’s Dog Needs Your Help

Bmac’s pooch, Kramer, has cancer of the lymph nodes.

He was first diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago, and Mr. and Mrs. Bmac opted for the chemo treatments for $3,000. That bought Kramer an amazing 30 more months. But now, the cancer has come out of remission and he needs chemotherapy, again.

Mr. and Mrs. Bmac are tapped out at the moment. He’s running a new business, and although it’s not in the red, it’s not making the big bucks, yet either.

Be patient, bmac, we went through the same thing with my husband’s business, when it was first launched, and we had four kids and one on the way at the time. We had to live off savings for awhile, and sell some property. The business ended up being successful, and continues to grow.

Anyhoo, if anyone would like to help out The bmacs, he’s set up a page on Fundable.org for donations. The goal is $2,500. So far $650 has been secured. The deadline is 10/09.

Please help the bmac’s buy some more time with their beloved pet.

UPDATE (9/20):

The amount secured has jumped to $940.

Please consider donating a few bucks, if you haven’t already.

UPDATE (9/26):

The amount secured is now $1510.

$990 to go.

Wild Goose Chase!

Why are so many people finding me by googling ‘Geese’, lately?

I don’t get it. I’m not even on the top ten menu pages on Google, for ‘geese’. (I quit looking after ten pages). There are much, much better sites for finding information about geese.

My ‘News Of The Weird Right In My Own Neighborhood’ post has been my top post for the past couple of days; a post that inspired very little interest and 0 comments when I posted it.

Now that is weird.

So Sad…

It’s true, we covered that, here….or I should say, Tushar covered that, here. 

Beauty And The Douche

I love this woman. Ayaan Hirsi Ali….if you know anything about her, you can’t be anything but amazed, impressed, and in awe of her beauty, poise, and most of all, intelligence…unless of course, you’re a dimwitted, liberal, America-hating douchnozzel from Canada. Then you’ll try to trip her up by spewing idiotic, and poisonous, lefty propaganda at her, only to have her intelligent, soft spoken answers destroy your whole retarded premise. Enjoy the pwnage:

Subservient Chicken

I know this is old, but I decided to check on our old friend, Subservient Chicken.

My nine year old reminded me of him, this morning, “Hey whatever happened to that chicken that does what you tell him to?”.

I discovered him years ago, through Jonah Goldberg, at the Corner. I remember at first being completely freaked out by it. (Burger King pays some guy to dress up in a chicken costume, sit in that small living room, and perform tricks for internet users?!)

Well, he’s still there, alone in that room, (wearing garters?) ready to perform for us.

He gets a little confused, nowadays. I asked him to rub his sides, and he rolled on the floor.

But he’s still a star, in my eyes.

Chewbacca Sexually Assaults Marilyn Monroe

To be more precise, I should say, a Chewbacca impersonator has been accused of sexually assaulting a Marilyn Monroe impersonator, but that doesn’t make a very pithy headline, does it? If it had been a real wookie, I would be tempted to ask if Ace had been anywhere near the Kodak theater, in Hollywood, back in June.

According to an officer with the LAPD, Chewbacca allegedly took the platinum-coiffed actress’s hand and placed it on his private parts as the characters performed for tips from tourists.

Rahhr!

Chewbacca, whose real name was not available, fled before police arrived, Torres said.

However, Torres is sure the hairy assailant would be caught soon.

“He’s always there (at the theater),” he said.

He apparently has a history of this sort of behavior.

Oh! Found via Hotair.

Police are looking for a man who robbed a bank in Manchester, New Hampshire, disguised as a tree.

The reason I say this is related? Why the hell are the police having a hard time finding a giant wookie, and a man dressed as a tree?  Wouldn’t they, you know….stand out a little?
