Actually this started before Bush. MSNBC had a good article on it. But this started back in the mid 90's when they started arming the police for the war on drugs. It definitely got stepped up after 9/11 and has pretty much continued at that level since.

Update: Hey now the police are going a bit to far. Tear gassing people who are being peaceful and arresting reporters. So yay. MO has riots and a building Police Riot. Not to mention it seems attempting to incite people (it seems I'm not positive as pics show police yelling but not who at or any reason why). So while…

Wow. Talk about a bunch of prudes. They might not want their kids wandering around a Sheetz then considering they sell Play Boys.

Funny. He strikes me more as a tool than a machine.

I don't know. I buy his story through the planning to propose thing. He seems kind of out there (in a maybe he took a few to many blows to the head kind of way).

Great piece as usual Isha. Is it to soon to say I can see why she would leave a winner like hi (Joking of course).

Great article. I think I had an aneurysm reading the mayor's statements but great none the less.

Cute kitties.

Ah ok.

Um nail arts been around for a little long to claim it was lifted by whites from blacks.

I would be more pissed about the officer being patronizing if I hadn't met parents who honestly don't seem to think their children's well being is their responsibility. Still don't get locking her up for a first time offence though. Seems quite heavy handed. A simple "okay then don't let it happen again" seems like it…

In all fairness the PS2 got games until like 2010.

Looks like a pretty varied group at the helm. Thanks for the links.

Ah. Thanks. I forgot about that video.

It's Nintendo. If they went with a female Link I'd just be afraid that it would end up like Other M.

What's your avatar from?

This is allegedly temporary while they implement a better blocking system.

They shut off the ones on Jez because people were constantly trolling with violent porn. And at least last night on here someone was continuously posting the same image of a head-shot man (like 30 times a post) over and over again.

They aren't mutually exclusive. Jumping on a grenade is also stupid but we still give out awards for heroism.
