Greetings and Salutations, People: Vertically Striped Radio: This Machine Kills Fascists
Woodie Guthrie’s 100th Birthday. (If he hadn’t died in 1967 at age 55) – What kind of fake Communist would I be if I didn’t honor Woody?
"I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that run you down or poke fun at you on account of your bad luck or hard traveling.
I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air and my last drop of blood. I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world and that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what color, what size you are, how you are built.
I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work."

I could probably kill this woman, serve my prison sentence, come back here and buy my diet coke before she finishes writing her check.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- A 27-year-old police officer in Louisiana has resigned after authorities say he stole an iPhone from the scene of a drunken-driving crash.
Cpl. Tommy Stubbs, a police spokesman in Baton Rouge, says the phone wasn't in the car when the driver got out of jail. Stubbs says a tracking feature showed that its name had been changed to "Jake Shoots’ iPhone," and the driver recognized the name as that of an officer who had worked at the wreck June 2. He filed a complaint.
Stubbs says Shoots was booked late Wednesday with felony theft and malfeasance in office, and resigned early Thursday. He had worked for the department for five years.
GLENDORA, Calif. (AP) -- Investigators say a Southern California doctor saw enough from an X-ray to prescribe pain killers to an undercover cop but missed the tail showing it was an image of a dog.
Police and Los Angeles County deputies on Thursday raided the Glendora urgent care clinic of 69-year-old Dr. Rolando Atiga after a two-month investigation that included three undercover deputies posing as patients.
One of the undercover deputies showed Atiga an X-ray to prove she needed pain killers. The scan of her German shepherd clearly shows the dog's tail. Atiga examined the X-ray and asked the undercover officer if she wanted Vicodin, oxycodone, Valium or Xanax.
Glendora police Capt. Timothy Staab says Atiga is well known among drug addicts and was considered the go to doctor for no questions asked pain meds.
DALLAS (AP) -- Police say a naked man crashed a pickup truck into a Dallas mall, then drove over a few kiosks before stopping to try on clothes.
Dallas police were called to the Southwest Center Mall around 7:30 a.m. Friday. Officers say the man was apparently covered only in a blanket when he drove his truck through the glass entrance doors, then crashed through several kiosks before driving into a Champs Sporting Goods store.
Once inside the store, police say he left his blanket in the truck and started putting on clothes and a pair of Air Jordan shoes.
No one was injured.
A police statement identifies the man as 35-year-old Arthur Walker of Dallas. He's jailed without bond on a burglary charge.

Something to Think About:
1 – Tip for Vegetarians – Don’t be so aggressive.
2 - How intimidating are biker gangs really, when all you have to do is swerve?
3 – Tuesday is worse than Monday
4 – 99% of humans are incapable of sitting in a chaise lounge without moving it first.
5 - The Mentally Handicapped travel in packs
6 – Few things are as hard to get rid of as Canadian Quarters
7 –If you’re at Olive Garden and they start to shave parmesan cheese onto your plate, how long will they keep doing it if you never say “When”?
