The Stuff I Didn't Get To -- 1/17/08

Two moron gangbangers with guns
America's Least Wanted


-Criminal masterminds-
Miami-Dade badasses Rudy Villanueva and Tony Logan had a brilliant plan -- post a video on YouTube daring the cops to come bust them. The two members of a street gang known as the Bird Road Boys taunted police with sayings like "Metro Dade Gang Unit, here I am baby," "we's out here fighting a Cold War," and "come get it," while brandishing guns and throwing gang signs.

The problem is that Villanueva is a "three-time convicted felon" and "prohibited from possessing a gun." In other words, the video was basically, "Lookit me! I'm committing a crime! Come get me!" Which, of course, Miami-Dade police did pretty much right away.

US Attorney Alex Acosta put it this way; "Villanueva and Logan threatened law enforcement. They brandished weapons and told us, 'Here I am baby. And come get us if you want.' Villanueva said come get me, and we did. We will not tolerate gang threats to our police officers."

It's really too bad that you can't give them extra time for being dumbshits -- call it an "idiot crime enhancer."

ABC News has the video. (ABC News)

-Headline of the day-
"Huckabee: 'We used to fry squirrels in a popcorn popper'."

I guess they don't sell squirrel poppers at Walmart. (Raw Story)

-I wonder what he means?-
In a discussion of Bill O'Reilly's recent statement that "there's not many" homeless veterans in America, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann said to Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America's (IAVA) Paul Rieckhoff, "Well, we know what we want to say here, and it involves suggesting Mr. O'Reilly should go and do something anatomically impossible to himself with that attitude." The discussion took place on Olbermann's show Countdown.

While the activity Olbermann suggests may seem to be obvious, a little cogitation cooks up a couple of other "anatomically impossible" tasks for Bill to try -- performing brain surgery on himself and pulling his own head out of his ass. Although, just in case you're reading this Bill, you're going to have to do those things in reverse order.

Check out IAVA's open letter to give Blowhard Bill an earful. (Raw Story)
