  1. Obama DHS Purchases 2,700 Light-Armored Tanks to Go With Their 1.6 Billion Bullet Stockpile

    Which raises the question of why? Has the Congress gone mad, or does it not know of these expenditures? Given the cuts due to sequestration, it would seem… that equipping a Praetorian Guard capable of governing without the consent of the governed might not be so urgent as, say, Air Traffic Controllers or even TSA airport safety officers. According to this article … this is a force more suitable to suppression and intimidation of popular resistance than one designed to overcome any easily foreseen terrorist threat. Perhaps someone knows more about this?

    Iran deploys sniper teams in Tehran to battle ‘mutant’ rats
    For the first time, snipers have deployed in Tehran to combat a plague of “mutant” rats that are increasingly resistant to poison and have grown so big that cats are scared of them.
    “It’s become a 24/7 war,” a grim-faced Mohammad Hadi Heydarzadeh, the head of Tehran municipality’s environmental agency, declared on state television last month. “We use chemical poisons to kill the rats during the day and the snipers at night.”
    “They seem to have had a genetic mutation,” Ismail Kahram, an environmental adviser to the city council, said. “They are bigger now and look different. These are changes that normally take millions of years of evolution,” he told the website Qudsonline.ir last month. He said cats are now smaller than some of Tehran’s rats, which can weigh up to 5kg.

    Of course this is not the only problem afflicting Tehran. Maybe they just need bigger cats; say like LIONS?

  3. Serious full-auto M4 purchases, massive ammo purchases, major new uniform allowances, 2700 APC’s, Drones for the US. Well I’m not the paranoid type, but this is getting pretty creepy…..and all this in a time of financial restraint.

  4. “and all this in a time of financial restraint.” Obliviously, your term of restraint and the Chimp in Chief’s differ somewhat. He restrains only when he allows the wookie to purchase $5000.00 jeans vs $6000.00

  5. @ EBD @ 10:03 PM: The only reason kids would be upset by a boy shaping his pop tart into a gun is because the so-called adults in the school freaked out. Maybe it’s the “adults” (sic) who need counseling.
    It’s written into boys’ DNA to hold and fire guns, whether they’re made of sticks, plastic, or pop tarts. I think it’s criminal what the feminazis have tried to do: to shame, ridicule, punish, and re-programme boys-will-be-boys behaviour in boys.
    Get a life you old hectoring hags.

  6. Obviously the rats are an Israeli plot to undermine the Imadinnerjacket regime.

  7. The ‘pastry gun’ was not a pop-tart as most believe.
    ” the seven-year-old was threatening other children with a crude weapon he had fashioned out of a strawberry danish before authorities intervened.”
    The Danish are known to have killed hundreds with cartoons. They are a very sneaky people. It is always best to err on the side of caution when dealing with them.

    “Satcon: Another casualty of the solar industry downturn”
    “It’s been two weeks since the dust settled on Satcon Technology Corp.’s (Nasdaq: SATC) official closing, but it still seems unreal that yet another solar business has gone belly up.
    The Boston, Mass.-based company, which filed for bankruptcy in October, gave up hope in finding a buyer for the clean energy business. The bankruptcy followed Satcon’s report to the Securities and Exchange commission that it had defaulted on $16 million in debt.”
