Attitude Coming To A Neighborhood Near You
This is a story from the UK:
Mother of 10 living in three-bed council home (welfare) demands TWO houses next door to each other ‘because we need more room’
The 34-year-old, who shares a bedroom with a son, daughter and partner, said: ‘I can’t cope, there’s no room in the house for the kids.
‘I have got four girls in one box room. I have had to put a partition up in one bedroom so we don’t have boys and girls sharing together.
‘They are always fighting over the bathroom.
‘We have taken on three extra kids and no-one’s given us any help. Nobody helps at all and I don’t get anything for free, not even free school meals.
‘I have put my name down for a few places. When people have got ten kids they should knock two houses through for them.”

Just look at the faces on these two. They have a look as if they’ve been wronged somehow.
Obama Vacation Pics
Could there have been a more appropriate restaurant for our Nancy -In- Chief to visit?
update: Anonymous iOTWer says this pic is of Obama Jumping The Shark.
Carlashes
What’s the big deal?
We’ve all seen eyelashes on a giant hulking contraption that runs on gas…
It calls itself Michelle.

Okay, we are making an effort to not be so misogynistic. Here’s one for everyone light in the loafers.
American GlobPeaceful Assembly On Private Property Gets Man Arrested
Hey, LaRouche supporters are people too, and they have their rights. The man could very well be a loon, that doesn’t matter. What happened in this video is a travesty.
I don’t agree with the guy yelling “this is torture.” It wasn’t. The arrest was wrong, the technique wasn’t.
From BrianStanFill’s Youtube video
This first day of the 2010 Alaska State Fair starts with sunny skies and a brutal assault by security personnel on a LaRouche supporter.
At about 5pm Alaska Time, Thursday, August 26, 2010, security personnel approach Sidney Hill, a lone man peacefully displaying an impeach Obama sign near Pioneer Plaza on the Alaska State Fairgrounds in Palmer. Minutes later, a crowd assembles, additional security forces arrive, and they physically assault the man holding the sign. He’s taken to the ground with force and detained.
An unidentified Alaska State Trooper arrives to physically disperse the crowd, and at several points during the conflict, crowd members yell in support of the demonstrator’s right to speak his message. The demonstrator’s personal firearm is confiscated by fair security, and he is held captive until Palmer police arrive to escort the man away in cuffs.
Sidney Hill was in jail awaiting a pre-trial at 1:00pm on August 27, 2010 at the Palmer Courthouse. He has been charged with Assault 4-Cause Fear Of Injury, Disorderly Conduct-Challenge To Fight, and Criminal Trespass 2- Upon Premises. However, according to the Valley Frontiersman newspaper, “Assistant District Attorney Trina Sears said her office decided not to prosecute Hill on the assault charge.”

Company presses your ashes into vinyl when you die
Music lovers can now be immortalized when they die by having their ashes baked into vinyl records to leave behind for loved ones.
A UK company called And Vinyly is offering people the chance to press their ashes in a vinyl recording of their own voice, their favorite tunes or their last will and testament. Minimalist audiophiles might want to go for the simple option of having no tunes or voiceover, and simply pressing the ashes into the vinyl to result in pops and crackles.
How does it work?
The process of setting human ashes into vinyl involves a very understanding pressing plant. Basically the ashes must be sprinkled onto the raw piece of vinyl (known as a “biscuit” or “puck”) before it is pressed by the plates. This means that when the plates exert their pressure on the vinyl in order to create the grooves, the ashes are pressed into the record.
The site has a very irreverent style and operates under the strapline “live on from beyond the groove”. One of Leach’s family stories, he tells Wired.co.uk, suggests why he has a practical attitude to people’s ashes.
He explains how he went out on a boat with his family members to sprinkle the ashes of his grandfather into the sea. His uncle “released them on the wrong side of the boat and so the ashes went all over us.” Apparently the same thing happened to his father, too!
First Field Report From DC
From Grandpa -
Just got a call from kids in DC. They said the town is totally packed and the energy is UNBELIEVABLE. Daughter and I have attended many events there together. She said “Dad, you have no idea, I think this is going amaze and astound everyone!!” Restuarants are packed to capacity.
Thought I would share.
This Is Disgusting And Needs To Be Eradicated Now
From MSNBC
Want to be class president? Not if you’re black, in one Miss. school
If you’re black and a student at one public middle school in Mississippi, you can’t run for president – only whites need apply.
Nettleton Middle School in Nettleton, Miss., has segregated its elected class positions by race, according to a memo sent home with children at the school last week that was obtained by NBC News.
The memo was first brought to light when Brandy Springer, a mother of four children, contacted blogger Suzy Richardson, founder and editor of the blog mixedandhappy.com.
“My [eighth-grade] daughter came home from[Nettleton] school telling me that she wanted to try out for the school reporter, but it is only open to black students,” Springer wrote Richardson. “They told her ‘she should run for class president, that was open to only white students.’”
The memo indicates that only white students can be president of the school’s eighth grade, while only black students can be vice president.
In seventh grade, whites are the only ones who can be both president and vice president, while the only position a black student at Nettleton can apply for in sixth grade is that of the class reporter.
“The talk around the town is that this is the way it is, that’s just the way it is and nobody knows any better, nobody wants any better and that’s why nobody’s challenged it,” Springer said.
Springer said she will continue to campaign to change policies in Nettleton from her new home in Plantersville.

This is ridiculous.
Here is the school statement:
| “Student elections have not yet been held at Nettleton Middle School for the
2010-2011 school term. The processes and procedures for student elections are under review. We are reviewing the origin of these processes, historical applications, compliance issues, as well as current implications and ramifications. A statement will be released when review of these processes is complete.” Thank You Superintendent Russell Taylor Here is the school contact information. Call them and tell them to join us in the 21st century Nettleton School District 179 Mullen Avenue Nettleton, MS 38858 662-963-2151 Fax: 662-963-7407

The Democrats are going to get beaten badly in November
The Democrats are going to get beaten badly in November. Not just because the economy is ailing. And not just because Obama over-read his mandate in governing too far left. But because a comeuppance is due the arrogant elites whose undisguised contempt for the great unwashed prevents them from conceding a modicum of serious thought to those who dare oppose them. – Charles Krauthammer
Happy Birthday Mind Numbed Robot
One Year Old, Aug. 24th
Last year we put together a thank you post, a mosaic of banners, of all the people who linked to us in our first year. Mind Numbed Robot, for no particular reason, got the top left hand corner. They said they had a good day that day with the clicks and were really happy about the fortuitous placement.
Well, may your future days put that day in the dust! Keep up the great work!
