Sickening story of the day. Black cop gets shot 28 times by 4 white cops. He identified himself as an officer, they still shot him. Miraculously, he survives. Despite being shot 28 times, the black officer gets charged with attempted murder.
Someone mentioned this to me today, and I was like, “No way? Really?”
Damn.

How The Hilarious Cast Of “Wanderlust” Created Comedy Gold | BuzzFeed
I saw Wanderlust earlier today, not sure I’ll write up a full review, but know that it’s a supremely funny film that gets by much more so on its performances than scenario. And Paul Rudd delivers maybe his career best comedic work.
Frank McCourt isn’t off the roster yet: The Dodgers dangle as Joe Torre and Rick Caruso say they’re ending their bid. At issue: Frank McCourt’s hold on the parking lots. Times’ columnist Bill Dwyre writes:
We had heard the word “sell” and waved our goodbyes.
Then came the letter to Major League Baseball from one of the main bidding groups, saying it was pulling out because McCourt was demanding to keep the parking lots around Dodger Stadium, which, unlike the team, are not in bankruptcy and were split off into a separate corporation by McCourt in 2005. MLB let him buy this team in the first place and then let him split off the parking lots. That’s two strikes, Bud.

The Susan G. Komen Foundation For Breast Cancer removed over $400,000 worth of funding from Planned Parenthood, which, you know, screens for breast cancer. This is all, of course, due to right-ring pro “life” group pressure.
They Komen Foundation DID - however - think it was totally OK to put their branding all over this Smith & Wesson 9mm! Firearms were the second most common cause of violent death among women, just after car crashes! Take that, Planned Parenthood!
Let’s not forget the pink-chicken-buckets from KFC a couple of years ago, which again were another bizarre PR grab from the Susan G. Komen Foundation, because when you think of “health” you ALWAYS think of KFC, right? You’d think if they wanted to actually stop cancer they’d put more funding towards breast cancer screenings, but there we go. This is where we’re at right now.
Don’t donate to the Komen foundation. It’s emotional blackmail. They just throw the money behind getting more money for the foundation, not towards stopping the disease.
[Jaw drops.]
Okay, I’m a proponent of gun rights, so don’t mistake where I’m coming from, but my brain ground to a halt for a moment there.
