Cheap shots and dust storms

Worst thing about the NSA? They're all apparently 9 years old:


And cops and hookers, boobs and haboobs and much much more below the fold!

When they said it's a dirty job but somebody has to, I had a totally different picture in mind:
There are no words that could possibly describe the feeling of being able to directly appeal your state legislators to make sure a law allows you to have sex with prostitutes. I know. But that’s exactly what Honolulu police officers are fighting for, and their reason for doing so is awesome.
See, sometimes cops need to be able to sleep with a hooker as part of an ongoing investigation into… something. This is their rationale. Seriously. KITV specifically reports that the provision “allows undercover officers to have sex with prostitutes during investigations,” and the cops need the ability to do that “to catch lawbreakers.” (Mediaite)
Well, what part of "undercover" do you not understand?

There might have been one in Texas, but in America it's unthinkable! On the Texas Haboob freakout, via Raw Story:



And then what does make them racists, ignorant, or uneducated? Something in the water?

I'd have fled to East Hampton but the bastards seized my passport!
Today the New York Observer officially relaunched its print edition, ditching its thin, pink newsprint for heavier, whiter stock. To commemorate the event, the Manhattan weekly gave open forum to wealthy New Yorkers who believe their new mayor, Bill de Blasio, has transformed the Upper East Side,  home  of  Observer owner Jared Kushner, into a Marxist-Leninist communist state.
“I feel like I’m living in East Germany or Moscow,” a “Wall Street friend”  tells Observer columnist (and advertising executive) Richard Kirshenbaum. “We used to run this town. Now I feel like they want to run us all out.”
An unnamed “financial whiz” adds: “First it was Occupy Wall Street. Now it’s a tale of two cities. All I do is work 23 hours a day, provide the tax base and make donations to every charity, and suddenly I’m maligned. (Gawker)
I believe a Financial Whiz is like a Cheese Whiz: you can squeeze him and get bright orange finance all over your nachos, and "every charity" ("All of them, Katie!"). Adorable how he claims, with every sign of sincerity, that he works 23/7 at the very moment he's downing drinks and demonstrating his idiocy to the press at Kushner's place.

Who really used to run this town: Bad Ass Biker.
Crass:
DAYTONA BEACH, FL — Rep. Ron Desantis (R-FL) said Tuesday that Democratic lawmakers were “crass” to take demands for climate change action to the Senate floor in March for an all-night discussion on the issue. During a town hall meeting with constituents, DeSantis accused the 30 Senators of only wanting to appease their donors and afterward he suggested that there is reason to doubt climate science. (ThinkProgress)
Rep.  Desantis was so embarrassed by this vulgarity he almost got his tie skewed. For heaven's sake, there were lobbyists present! What will the delicate creatures think?
