Raise your hand if you found someone else's gun in your bathroom. After incidents in which various members of the Capitol Police left their loaded guns in public bathrooms (one in House Speaker John Boehner's offices, but don't worry—a visiting kindergartner soon found it and thus staff was able to return it to the offending officer), the protectors of America's most important shouty people will be getting a refresher course on how to use the loo. "We're now providing additional training for what to do when you have to go to the bathroom," Dine said Wednesday during a hearing about recent security lapses from the Capitol Police. There's nothing unique about the Capitol Police here, as the heroes of GunFAIL can attest; armed officers leaving their weapons in bathrooms is endemic among all the various places we put guards these days.

  • Russian Mother Sends Her Youngest Son Off To War For New Roof
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 04/24/2024 - 06:30 AM

    If you look closely, you'll notice that Zhanna Polupanova is wearing a sweatshirt with the English words "Follow Your Dreams." Apparently, hers includes a new roof for her modest house in the country, which with any luck will be repaired with what the Russians call "coffin money." Zhanna also rather cold-bloodedly says she does not feel sympathy for her sons going to war in Ukraine as they are meant to serve the Motherland.
