TERROR ALERT: Vacuum Broken!

  • February 28, 2011 6:32 pm

Yes, as silly as this may seem there was a terror alert set off over a broken vacuum cleaner. A shipping company flagged a shipment because the name of the recipient was on a terror watch list. The recipient simply needed to provide a copy of his personal identification to resolve the situation. However, the recipient was a doctor who was receiving a vacuum cleaner part. After being extremely aggravated at the stupidity of the vacuum company, the doctor demanded his money back.

This is just one example of people taking things too far! You need to be realistic and know that a vacuum cleaner part is not going to cause a threat to anyone. It is just aggravating to have to see innocent people aggravated by the stupidity of government. However, this problem took place in Europe so it is to be expected!

Smokey Plane Helps Passengers Avoid Detroit

  • February 22, 2011 3:31 am

A Delta airlines plane from Greenville, SC had taken off enroute to Detroit. The cabin began to fill with smoke and as a precaution, the plane returned to Greenville. A runway was briefly closed so officials could investigate and passengers were returned to the terminal by airport buses.

Click on Detroit

It is always a good day when you don’t have to go to Detroit. After all, Detroit doesn’t have much going for it besides the professional sports teams, gambling and the airport. Seriously, South Carolina is usually warm, seems to have nice southern hospitality and heck, Boeing even built a plant to manufacture aircraft(and maybe fix this one…?) in Charleston!

160K of Pot Makes You SOOOOOOOOO High!

A driver in Alabama was caught with 36 pounds of marijuana during a traffic arrest. Police stopped the driver for driving 76 in a 65. The driver is being held for $25,000 bail and is charged with possession with intent to distribute among other charges.

You have to be pretty stupid to be driving down the street with pot in your vehicle. However, if you are going to be that stupid, couldn’t you simply ensure that you drive the speed limit? After all, most cops don’t pull people over unless they are speeding or swerving. Just make sure you follow the traffic law the next time you want to get drive your drugs down the highway!

The Associated Press has learned that an American jailed in Pakistan after the fatal shooting of two armed men was secretly working for the CIA.  The arrest last month of 36-year-old Raymond Allen Davis has caused an international diplomatic crisis. The U.S. has repeatedly asserted that Davis had diplomatic immunity and should have been released immediately.  But former and current U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to talk publicly about the incident, told the AP that Davis had been working as a CIA security contractor for the U.S. consulate in Lahore.
