Car Thief Scolds Mom For Leaving Kid In Car

The mother took the child back to the car, started the engine and heater and then went back to the beach to help her boyfriend get the fishing gear, police said.

Investigators said a homeless man hopped in the car and took off, with the child inside.A few minutes later, the car thief took the car back and yelled at the couple for leaving the child in the car, police said.

Well, what do you expect? It's Texas. If they only required 22 year-olds to have license for raising kids AND fishing.

 

 

Yer Average TeaBagger's Understanding of the Physics of Heat and Light.

So, the International Code Council is meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina this week. You can watch the live webcast if you are so inclined. If you are lucky, maybe some bored fool will steal a car from the NASCAR Hall of Fame across the street and fashion it into a Deathmobile. Then maybe they'll can drive it  through the crowd to liven things up a bit.

Why don'tcha ICC my ass!

Here, various architects, engineers, the folks from the International Residential Code's (IRC's) Energy Chapter and the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) meet to discuss proposed changes to the code. These proposals are voted on by the council and ratified by other council members, along with state and county officials who are supposed to enforce the decisions made. Also represented are folks from various state Home Builders Associations. Exciting, exciting stuff.

So today, among the various proposals floated was lowering the U-Value of window glass from .40 to .20. Like I said, piss your pants exciting. Basically U-Value measures a window's ability to reduce heat loss from inside your house in the winter. Less heat lost means more money saved by the home owner.

You lower U-values by using 2 panes separated by a spacer. Or filling the space with various gases. It's meant to help keep heat in. That's all.

During the "debate" on how much of the new code proposals should be ratified, a representative of the Texas Home Builders Association makes his deep displeasure evident to the assembled body. He took exception to the recommendations for increased energy efficiency, saying he didn't see the point. He didn't like all these new requirements being shoved down his throat by the Gub'mint. His thinking held that, after next Tuesday, "none of this stuff is going to be enforced anyway".

In his grand vision, the results of next Tuesday's election would have a Republican Tsunami wash over the country; returning us to the BushCo. days of easy oil and lawless abandon.

Never mind that this is the International Code Council. I'm sure his understanding of Foreign Relations and International Policy is on par with Gover Palin's. (half term = half title) And never mind that these codes were in place before the current "Colored" President. And mostly never mind that the Code is enforced by State Law, not by Federal Mandate. Facts? Forget facts, he was on a roll.

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
"Germans?"
"Forget it, he's rolling."

Further, he complained, this was going to cost builders and cost the people paying the builders. And, he said, if they kept requiring lower and lower U-Values, the glass would finally become so dark, nobody would be able to see out their damned windows!

On my Mother's grave, this is what. he. said.


And I only have one thing to say in response: If any more of these brainless gits makes it into a position of real power, may what gods exist have mercy on us all.

Gay Dumb-assery

Gay Marriage Ban Impinges on the Civil Rights of Dumbasses

Any real Libertarian worth his salt would tell the government of keep their freakin' nose out of people's personal life. And any real Conservative should want the same thing.

But instead, those squalling crybabies are so threatened by the mere idea of some guy wanting to stick his penis within 2 feet of another guy's ass or face that they end up screwing the pooch instead. Their wives should divorce them take up with real men.

And speaking of putting a penis in an inopportune place: I don't think that means what you think it means, Senator Buttars
