Someone's Having a Bad Day

GiggleSugar — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 10:43:05 -0700

A security camera caught the following scene of some woman trying to get herself a drink at a restaurant. Little does she know, the machine has had one too many of its buttons pressed and its about ready to blow. As if dining in soiled clothing isn't uncomfortable and embarrassing enough, the woman hits the ground running - literally. Forget soda, someone deserves a stiff drink!

Turkey Thief Drops Her Loot

This muumuu-clad bandit is on a mission to take home some turkey, but there's one problem: She hasn't practiced waddling with a 10-pound bird squeezed between her thighs. So when the time comes for her to tip-toe from the meat department to the store exit, the turkey comes tumbling to the ground. So much for sanitary eating, eh?

Doggie-Cam Nabs Pooch

He sees it, sniffs a little, tries to resist the temptation, looks nervously around, and then goes for it. When the fam's away, the dog will play- or make a mad mess of trash on the kitchen floor. And there's no denying it later cuz the home security camera caught it all on tape. Poor Panda better prepare to put those puppy dog eyes to work.

Department Store Mishap

Word to the dumbass: A moving escalator is not the perfect place to sit and take a rest in the middle of a department store. We wouldn't want to risk you falling and hurting the displays, now would we?

Two Tales of "Good Enough For Government Work"

CitizenSugar — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 13:00:05 -0700

Well, the US government might be taking that old chestnut a tad too literally today. Check out these two blunders of bureaucratic proportions.

Over at the Department of Homeland Security, the top immigration enforcement official ordered the destruction of photographs of an office Halloween party. The pictures showed a white agency employee dressed as a black detainee. The staff member who won the “most original costume” prize wore a dreadlock wig, what looked like a prison jumpsuit and black face paint. The employee said, “I’m a Jamaican detainee from Krome - obviously, I’ve escaped,” referring to a detention center in Miami.

Julie L. Myers, the assistant secretary of Homeland Security For Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ordered that the photos be removed from a digital camera in a “coordinated effort to conceal” her role in awarding one of the top costume prizes to the employee.

Want to see who's spending government money on Internet dating services? read more.

An audit by the Government Accountability Office released by Senate lawmakers yesterday found that nearly half the "purchase card" transactions it examined were improper, either because they were not authorized correctly or because they did not meet requirements allowing the bucks to be spent.

Federal employees forked over government credit cards to pay for lingerie, gambling, iPods, Internet dating services, and a $13,000 steak-and-liquor dinner. The GAO also found that agencies could not account for nearly $2 million worth of items identified in the audit - including laptop computers, digital cameras, and, at the Army, more than a dozen computer servers worth $100,000 each.

Well, shoot. Those certainly aren't the most flattering government stories I've heard today. Are you going to call them up and ask for the iPod your tax money purchased? How do you think these stories of government corruption stack up against those around the world?

Check This: Kennedy Mantel Passed to Obama

LibertySugar — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 10:48:51 -0800

Senator Barack Obama secured a huge endorsement from Democratic icon Senator Ted Kennedy. Teddy just delivered a stirring speech, hitting Hillary Clinton on all of her talking points regarding experience. The electricity in the room was palpable even for those watching from the other side of the television camera.

Senator Kennedy, often alluding to his brother President John F. Kennedy, said he has always planned to

"Support the candidate who inspires me, who inspires all of us, who can lift our vision and summon our hopes and renew our belief that our country's best days are still to come."

Caroline Kennedy, the sole survivor of President Kennedy, and Representative Patrick Kennedy joined in the Obama lovefest. The Kennedy endorsements will aid Obama on a national and local level. As the battle for delegates moves to congressional districts, the Kennedy stamp of approval may help local leaders feel confident endorsing Obama.

Does the Kennedy endorsement make a difference to you?

TGIF!

Now if this isn't a great way to kick off the weekend, then I don't know what is. Most people would start by first kicking off their shoes, but this lady shows us a different way of cutting loose. Lucky for us, the security camera caught it all on tape!

Another Dumb Bank Robber

GiggleSugar — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 11:00:00 -0700

One would think that in the world of armed burglary, robbing a bank is big time. With security cameras all over the place, it seems that only the most confident and calculating of criminals could successfully get the job done. This dumbass, although (overly) confident, didn't think too hard about an escape plan and allowed the bank's unlocked double doors to get in his way.
