SAR #14231



If you have nothing, you have nothing to lose.

Perfection: The United States is now using billions of dollars in weaponry and munitions to blow up billions of dollars worth of weaponry and munitions that we left behind in Iraq. Certainly increases the profit margins
 
Snapped Shots: In Ferguson, a cop advises, “If you don't want to get hurt, don't challenge me.” Presumably it was a different cop who told a journalist to move along or “I'll bust your head”. Other boys in blue (or urban camouflage) arrested some German journalists and some other removed Amnesty Intentional and media representatives from the area. Yet another threatened protesters with an assault rifle and threatened to”F*king kill” them. Protecting and serving. 
 
So Much Explained: “Because money matters more than people.” And not just at Fukushima.

Summer Reruns: “Bombing Iraq” is back for another season, along with a revival of “Death by Drones” which is broadcasting episodes shot in the Middle East, Southwest Asia, and several slices of Africa. Make some popcorn, it'll wait.

Lucy And The Football: Argentina has announced that it is tired of the vultures and isn't going to play the game any more. It will pay “a certain amount” to other investors, but is going to stiff the vulture funds that have been trying to bankrupt the country. Cue the Marines. 
 
Inevitable: Charter schools are generally located at the intersection of money and politics, which explains why the FBI is more and more frequently investigating them for corruption.

Back-Dated: Australian security laws are being 'corrected' to make illegally obtained evidence admissible in court. Seems the cops have been tracking Aussie's web browsing histories without bothering to get a warrant. 
 
Who Are These People? Israel justified targeting the home of a Hamas leader and killing his wife and baby son by comparing him to bin Laden and claiming “he deserves to die...” and his wife and seven-month old, just because they can?

Preview: The US Supreme Court has sustained a stay on Virginia's same-sex marriage rulings, which pretty well assures that the Nine will hear some sort of consolidated same-sex case next year. 
 
'Till Death Do Us Part: In the last decade over 300 SC women have been shot, stabbed, strangled, beaten, bludgeoned or burned to death by their loving spouses. The state is making no particular effort to prevent these deaths. Elsewhere in SC a student has been arrested for writing an essay about shooting a dinosaur – which get more protection in SC than women.
