Maybe not so weird, but shows incredibly poor judgment. A DC Metro commuter climbs up an out of service escalator (an every day occurrence here) only to find that at the top of the escalator, it is under maintenance and several of the steps have been removed to expose the machinery underneath. There is a huge hole in the floor, with only some grease covered axles spaced every couple of feet. Instead of turning around and walking back down the stairs to use the adjacent broken escalator, this moron and a handful of other passengers decide to step from grease covered axle to grease covered axle to get across the pit. Then they blame Metro for their "terrifying" experience crossing the pit and go to the paper, which publishes a sympathetic article about them. Fucking morons.

They risked serious injury just to save about a minute of trudging back down the stairs and going back up the other side.

Metro was supposed to barricade the bottom of the escalator like they normally do, but for some reason that barricade had been pushed aside.

Glatt - total agree.
If you find yourself confronted by a potentially life-threatening situation in a commuter setting, you've taken the wrong turn! Warning signs and diversions go to buggery - go back down and make sure no-one else comes this way.

And yes, I've been a commuter and I know the frustration of delays. But sorry - if you risk your life, don't blame anyone else. Unless there is a specific sign which reads "The only way out is to step across these greasy supports with an unseen drop onto gears and spokes and other spiky things. Where we keep a crocodile from the sewers. Nom nom nom." Then you can sue.

Yeah, I think people like that should be led out of the court room via a dedicated exit into an area reserved for getting a beatdown for wasting taxpayer's time and money. That could be added to "loser pays" frivolous lawsuits.

SEAL BEACH, Calif. - An 86-year-old woman was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in her bed at a Southern California nursing home yesterday, and her 88-year-old husband of nearly seven decades was found sitting next to her and arrested on suspicion of murder, police said.

What do you do?

Public notice: If I cannot tell you the names of my family members, kill me. I don't want to live like that (not that I would be aware), and I don't want my family burdened.

Obviously, after seven decades he was tired of her shit.

Sarah Palin: 'We Gotta Stand With Our North Korean Allies'

Quote:

Palin's gaffe immediately caught fire on the blogosphere.
Liberals jumped to show her response as evidence of Palin's lack of foreign policy expertise.
Conservatives came to her defense, pointing to her response immediately before the gaffe where she discusses sanctions.

Here is the interview with Beck

classicman · 11-25-2010, 08:48 PM

So she messed up one word. Big fuckin deal.

That shows nothing.

Thankfully she is not a viable candidate, but that video says nothing more than Obama discussing 57 states

then again.........

Here's the one time when I am for the death penalty. The plaintiff and any lawyer(s) willing to represent them should be summarily executed.
