A funny site for cartoons, jokes, weird news of the day, funny stories and funny videos. Come get a laugh from what I've found while researching the web - some of it is edgy.
This weird hair style says it all about dumb criminals...
From Denny: Last month in Fairfield, Connecticut, a couple of not-so-smarts called up their local bank. They told the bank they were robbing them and to have the money ready when they got there to take it away like it was a fast food restaurant window.
You always hear from police about how dumb criminals can be. They must have had quite a laugh about these guys. If there was an award for the criminal version of the biggest fish story this one had to take the prize.
Here's what happened: Police said they had ample warning to catch the bank robbers. The robbers called the bank ahead of time and told an employee to get a big bag of money ready for them when they arrived.
Can you imagine what that employee must have thought? Would you believe that phone call was actually credible? I wonder how many people would have ignored it and not even related the occurance to management. Well, I guess, even the banks have "stupid phone call" policies and it was passed on to the proper authorities.
Can you now imagine how funny it was when the manager called the police to report a robbery before it happened because the criminals called ahead and said they were on their way?
The unfortunate would be robbers were Albert Bailey, 27, and an unidentified 16 year old boy who were residents of a neighboring town, Bridgeport. They were arrested on robbery and threatening charges for trying to rob People's United Bank in Fairfield. Turns out the two robbers showed up about 10 minutes after making the call to the bank demanding their big bag of money.
I like what the arresting officer, Sgt. James Perez, said of the two suspects as the police met the robbers in the bank parking lot, recalling them as "not too bright." Do ya think?
I just wonder if they were smart enough to lawyer up. And yet another "Can you imagine?" question: Who would want to represent these silly guys?

Political Cats!From Denny: Some of the cheekiest - most irreverent or most odd - quotes were uttered in the year of 2009 in America. There are times when I wonder if there are regions of the country with lead in the water, sounding as bizarre as ancient Rome did right before they destroyed their empire. The ancient Romans poisoned themselves with lead in their wine, unknowingly, that also sterilized them, dropping the population of the ruling aristocracy. Their increasing bizarre behavior is well documented historically and, of course, Hollywood celebrated it with many a movie. After all, villains are great story grist! :)
I knew there was a verbal bridge somewhere in here... more like a teetering wood suspension bridge in the Amazon... 2009 has been a very bizarre year for quotes from politicians in particular and a few celebrities too. Notice that Tiger Woods is noticeably silent. Maybe he's saving his quotes for 2010. Stay tuned...
1. "Do ya think?" he's: Holding Back
"He deserves my silence."
— George W. Bush, former President, refusing to criticize President Barack Obama during a speech in March, his first address since leaving office. Yet the Republicans didn't waste any time later in the year, propelling Bush out in front to take the fire for complaining about Obama's job performance and handling of terrorism issues.
Hmmmm... yes, Obama still deserves his silence. The man was a hack in the Presidency so what real advice could he offer? The majority of the time he never watched nor read the news, depending upon filtered information from jealous coveting-the-power aides like Rove.
"The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care."
— Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor, rambling all over the place on her Facebook page, whiner lying about a provision of the proposed health care bill that called for Medicare to reimburse doctors for counseling patients on end-of-life-care issues such as living wills and hospice availability. Somehow, she had reading comprehension problems and started screaming death panels are in the bill when clearly they are not.
3. Perilously Close on the Heels of Republican Retreads
"I'm happy to get good ideas from across the political spectrum, from Democrats and Republicans. What I won't do is return to the failed theories of the last eight years that got us into this fix in the first place, because those theories have been tested, and they have failed. And that's what part of the election in November was all about."
— President Obama, during his first official press conference, on 9 Feb 2009. What's annoying is when you follow such a disastrous act like Bush and Cheney who basically broke several world governments, is that you are forced to continue some of the same policies until you can stabilize a region, beginning new policies to repair all the damage.
So it goes in American politics for decades: Republicans like to blow up the world and Democrats come in behind them to clean up their mess. Then the public gets angry it takes too long to clean up the mess and choose Republicans again, thinking the economy will pick up. There is a real disconnect of the American voter with an understanding of just how long it takes to repair a mess and then gin up the economy.
4. The Commies Are Coming! The Commies Are Coming! Stay safe; hide under your school desk when the nukes hit. (Now there's a plan.)
"I don't want this country turning into Russia, turning into a socialized country. My question for you is, What are you going to do to restore this country back to what our founders created according to the Constitution?"
— Katy Abram, a Pennsylvania mother, speaking at a health care town hall moderated by Senator Arlen Specter in August in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. If this woman knew what she was talking about, understood economics, international diplomacy and common sense, and actually cared if women got equal pay for the same job, well, she would never have voted Republican in the first place. These guys are the ones who sent our country careening out of control financially for decades starting with President Reagan and his paranoid Star Wars concept.
