U.S. Sen. John McCain on Friday underwent a medical procedure at Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix to remove a blood clot from above his left eye, the 80-year-old Arizona Republican’s office announced Saturday afternoon.

The “cowboy” cops who killed a crazed stagehand in Midtown in a hail of bullets should have never used deadly force, says the innocent bystander struck by one of the slugs.

Lauran Code, 46, who was in town last year for her high-powered job as a fashion designer with photo-sharing Web site Shutterfly, had just grabbed breakfast when an officer rushed to take down Garry Conrad — an out-of-work stagehand who allegedly lunged at cops with a knife at the crowded intersection of Eighth Avenue and West 49th Street.   Continue reading “Bystander grazed in NYPD shooting says cops shouldn’t have used deadly force”

WEB Notes: You mean to tell me all those iDevices are not helping our kids? You mean to tell me sneaking birth control to our children at school does not help them? You mean to tell me teaching our children how to do “anal sex right” is not helping them? Do you see a theme here? Wickedness prevails and it brings our children down. How about we educate our children in the Word of God. Teach our children right from wrong which brings true freedom to our souls.

A nun, badly needing to use the restroom, walked into a local Hooters.

The place was hopping with music and loud conversation and every once in a while ‘the lights would turn off.’ Each time the lights would go out, the place would erupt into cheers.

However, when the revelers saw the nun, the room went dead silent. She walked up to the bartender, and asked, ‘May I please use the restroom?   Continue reading “Nun at Hooters”
