Mark Pitcavage as The Hindenburg

Something Mike wrote about the juxtaposition of Mark Pitcavage and The Hindenburg triggered the creative juices.  So to further blur the line between Pitcavage and the Hindenburg, I give you this photo for enjoyment and sharing far and wide. 

As a note to my readers my job has changed significantly in recent weeks.  I've had a lot more hours, more responsibility and less time for blogging.  It is a temporary need that I'm filling for the oragnization.  I expect it will wrap up within a month or two. 

Jefferson County Commission votes 4-1 to file nation's largest municipal bankruptcy

Well here's something blogworthy!


Jefferson County Sewer Upgrade


Story here.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The Jefferson County Commission has just voted 4-1 to file an estimated $4.1 billion bankruptcy, the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.

The commission's action came after it spent approximately six hours over two days meeting with its lawyers to discuss legal options, including a Chapter 9 bankruptcy filing and a settlement with creditors on the county's $3.14 billion sewer debt.

About friggin' time. 

This one's for you JP Morgan and Chase. 

Ricin Plot Foiled!

Alleged Plot To Attack U.S. Officials Was Inspired By Online Anti-Government Novel, Authorities Say Fox News:

An alleged plot to attack federal and state officials by suspected members of a fringe north Georgia militia group was inspired by an online anti-government novel, authorities said.

Authorities said the group intended to use the plot of the novel "Absolved," written by Mike Vanderboegh, a blogger who has closely followed the botched federal investigation known as "Fast and Furious." He also runs a whistleblower website called Sipsey Street Irregulars.

During a phone interview with FoxNews.com on Wednesday, Vanderboegh claimed he was not responsible for the alleged plot.

Sigh. 

I haven't read around a whole lot to see what others think.  I've had a long, productive day at work and have just a few minutes to type.  So if I turn out to be wrong about this, all of you can get a full refund later. 

This quote was particularly interesting to me:

Thomas and Roberts are accused of buying what they believed was a silencer and an unregistered explosive from an undercover informant in May and June. Prosecutors say he discussed using the weapons in attacks against federal buildings.

Hmmmm, silencer and explosives?  I wonder who regulates those? 

The same group that brought us this:


Waco, 1993

and this...

ATFail

and more recently, this...


Brian Terry, RIP

The same group that is now trying everything in their power to cover up their own misdeeds and the perjury of their boss, this guy:

Field Marshal Erich Von Holder,
Nationalsozialistische von Feiglingen Amerikaans Arbeiterpartei

Here's the first thought that came to my mind;


Watch the other hand.

I'm sure that this is totally unrelated in any way to the unfolding chaos and doom that Project Gunwalker spells for the ATF, for their bosses in main justice, and even within the White House. 

Why, the folks that never let a crisis go to waste wouldn't be above manufacturing one so as to divert attention away from their own culpability in the Gunwalker scandal they created, would they?

The second thought that I had is that it sure is convenient.  The media wouldn't mention the names of David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh when this story was breaking, yet can find space to report that, "Vanderboegh claimed he was not responsible for the plot." 

Continue to watch the other hand folks.  Holder goes up for hearings shortly and needs to be grilled like he was on the George Foreman, Lean Mean Grilling Machine.  Keep up the pressure. 

Insert Eric Holder here!
