Keep those paddywagons rollin'

"Former SPLC CFO Arrested on Fraud Charges for Secretly Funneling Payments to White Supremacist Groups".

This is particularly gratifying, given the SPLC's role in serving as a prop for the FBI's investigation of traditionalist Catholic parishes. The article has links to unclassified FBI documents, at least one of which names my old parish of St. Joseph's in Richmond as a target for "outreach". I believe a number of FBI employees connected to this operation have been fired; unfortunately, the big fish naturally have faced no consequences, that I know of.

Much more on the former CFO here.

That guy, all by himself, almost represents too many men on the field.

Imagine going out to the mailbox and seeing this.

The name's Bondi. James Bondi.

Dummies!

"Construction workers find gold stash estimated to be worth $10 million during renovations in Belgium".

Construction workers in Belgium stumbled upon a stash of gold believed to be worth more than $10 million during renovation work on a building.
Police said they were "immediately" contacted by the workers [emphasis added - Paco] after they discovered "a large quantity of gold" while working on a building in the east Flemish town of Dendermonde.

Ok, let me tell you something. If me and my homies had been the workers who had discovered $10 million in gold on that construction site, I guaran-damn-tee you wouldn't be reading about it. And the police would be sitting down at the local Wafel Huis, or whatever they have in Belgium, none the wiser.

Now we can really get ready for that civil war everyone's always talking about

I know what I'd do...


"Dang, honey! I completely forgot about what the homeowners' association might say. Anyway, it was a steal. Prepare to repel boarders!"

Hey, if this guy wins in the general election, I know a great job for him

No honor among thieves

At least they're somewhat consistent: the Democrats will even steal elections from each other. "More Signs the Dem Establishment Stole the Election From Hong?"

Oh, I know!

"After 50 Years, Physicists Find Strong Evidence For What Really Holds Matter Together".



Ok, apparently I guessed wrong. I think. Although, when I read stuff like this, I'm not sure:
It's conventionally assumed that the baryon number is carried by the three valence quarks that make up baryons, such as protons and neutrons.
But now, after decades of uncertainty, a breakthrough new study using high-energy particle collisions has provided some of the strongest experimental evidence yet against this simple valence-quark picture.

When scientists start talking in tongues, I get a little confused.
