Things Cat’s Shouldn’t Eat?

12 Hungry Kittehs Devour Their Owner!
The grisly skeletal remains of a 62-year-old man who had been eaten by his 12 hungry cats — possibly while still alive — were discovered recently in Rostov-on-Don.
Officials say it was impossible to determine whether the man — whose name was not released — had died and then was eaten by the famished felines or whether the animals had caused his death by eating him alive, as his body had been mostly consumed.
Police made the horrific discovery after relatives reported that he had not answered his phone or opened his door for several days.
When the cops forced open the door, they found the man’s cats, with blood on their noses and hissing as they prowled around his skeletal remains.
“It is impossible to establish the cause of death,” senior investigator Sergei Udovenko told Express Gazeta.
NOM!! NOM!! INDEED!

Researchers develop ‘SpeechJammer’ gun that can quash human utterances
Imagine sitting around a conference table with several of your colleagues as you hold an important meeting. Now imagine your boss pulling out what looks like a radar gun for catching speeding motorists and aiming at any of you that speak to long, very nearly instantly causing whoever is speaking to start stuttering then mumbling and then to stop speaking at all. That’s the idea behind the SpeechJammer, a gun that can be fired at people to force them to stop speaking. It’s the brainchild of Koji Tsukada and Kazutaka Kurihara, science and technology researchers in Japan
HUGE!!!!
Gingrich co-chair resigns and endorses Santorun
State Sen. Stacey Campfield, co-chairman of Newt Gingrich’s campaign in Tennessee, announced today he is quitting that position to support Rick Santorum in the Republican presidential race.
The Knoxville Republican made his announcement in a post on his blog. In an interview, Campfield said he believes that conservatives need to unite behind a single candidate and that Santorum is best positioned to defeat “establishment Republican” candidate Mitt Romney
Saintorum will only draw enough support away from Gingrich to guarantee a Mitt-Witt McRomney win. Much to the delight of the Gutless Old Party Leadership.
Looks like I’ll be voting third-party again this year.

*sigh* I will be voting against Obama even if it means holding my nose while I do it. (and it probably will) But I am sorry, a vote for anyone other than the GOP candidate IS a vote for Obama, and as the Godfather said “this I shall not forgive”.
Oh, voting for Obama, eh?

OK, so that I have it correct and understood.
Eric Holder and the ATF, FBI, DEA, all with hands in the fast and furious operations get a pass on a INS and BP officers being shot and killed with walked guns, together with hundreds of Mexicans and more to come of both.
5 grunts who burn trash in Afganistain as that is their job, who happen to be on duty when some books get burned with other stuff and it turns out the books were korans,,, these five are going to be court marshaled.
That about it.

Something bad wrong with our country.

@ yenta-fada:
I’d hate for a whole conspiracy industry to start blooming around this sad event. The medical examiner will provide their findings. Personally, I think he just may have worked too hard.
I was just reading about !!CHU’CHE!! in NorKo, “The Cleanest Race”. The author got his information from reading Nork stuff that they teach their own kids and in propaganda they give to *South* Koreans; not the poo they serve out to us bignoses.
The North Koreans are even more fucked up than I thought.
Some highlights:
- Basically Norks are told over and over that they are all children; the Party is their mother, and they need the Party to protect them. From us.
- “Juche” is poo. Meaningless. “Not Even Wrong”. No North Korean would be able to explain it to you.
- “Korean Nationalism” before 1945 meant collaboration with the Japanese. The Japanese had put themselves out as the Koreans’ liberator from the inferior races. Those other races are all unclean, starting with the Chinese. [On the Japanese side, that goes some way toward explaining why Nanking happened in China and not in Korea.] All the Party did in the late 1940s was to erase “Japan” from all those references.
- Korea barely had any Marx. Stalin and Mao tried to teach it to the Koreans, but then the two gave up.
- It follows that the Nork state / Party did “Juche” AND “Communism” for overseas consumption. Really the state believes in racial purity and in the citizen as infant.
- The famine in the 1990s didn’t hurt the Kims and the Party. In a way everything they did prepared the state for the famine. Communism promises free shit for the working man, so when it doesn’t do that -- as in East Germany in the 1980s -- the people get mad. If the ideology is all about the pure wee Korean children, though, the state only loses legitimacy when it fails to protect the race from Americans.
Here’s a great video documentary on the Barbary Wars, and the birth of the US Marine Corps. 197 years ago today the United States declared war on Algeria and won.

They were announcing “Natural Causes” before the autopsy for a reason. Andrew suffered a massive heart attack that almost killed him about 5 months ago, he refused to follow his doctors orders. When the paramedics responded to the call about him collapsing their EKG machine told them Andrew was having another massive heart attack, they tried to save him but were unable to get him stabilized on route to the hospital and he died on route.
@ Urban Infidel:
Bill Whittle, when asked the day afterwards whether or not the death surprised him, immediately responded “No.”
He already had one major heart attack, and apparently couldn’t let go of the reins.

I hear what you are saying about a conspiracy industry. That’s one of the key things that made Breitbart outstanding. He brought evidence to people, not theories. btw, I have a Michael Scheuer interview where he endorses Ron Paul. Just thought you might be interested. I would have to hunt for it because there’s no organizing priniciple for my bookmarks. lol

Exactly, while the public didn’t know about Andrew’s previous heart attack, all of Andrew’s close friends and family did.
@ Urban Infidel:
Have had two family members and a friend die of aortic dissection this past year. Two were under 50, one was under 40. All were very sudden and death was very quick.

Oh, I am familiar with Scheuer’s support of Ron Paul. There’s a lot of things I agree with Scheuer about and then there’s the issues I don’t, like his views on Israel and Ron Paul.

America’s conspiracy industry is not just blooming it’s a damned hostile invasive species taking over the country.
@ Da_Beerfreak:
Yep. And sometimes a pipe is just a pipe.
Breitbart was still in the middle of a massive heart attack when the paramedics arrived. He could not be stabilized enroute.
His death was not called until he was in the ER. Thus (as I understand it) in CA he died under Medical Care and a preliminary call of Natural Causes should be made.
Due to this being a high profile death an autopsy will still be performed but will not have the urgency or priority on Lab time as a open case would receive.
Anybody in CA who can confirm, correct or expand?

well assuming a heart attack was the cause of death is all good. there are ways/drugs to induce one… and for that matter a previous cardiac incident could also be “un natural” although possibly self inflicted.

A type personalities and men in their 40′s. He got a warning and didn’t heed it.

@ momcat:
I can just see how this would be misused. I would want one, if only to use it on folks who are using theirs to silence others. Given the quality of political discourse in this nation, I could see this device being used to silence a lot of folks. Someone who you don’t like is talking ? Use this device. No need to bother with being polite, or working at winning the argument — just use this device.
@ momcat:
Think of how you would feel or react if someone used this device against you, relentlessly, all while espousing an idea or point of view you find stupid, or wrong, or angering. Think of that situation before endorsing this device — how would you like it used against you (especially in a hurtful, mean-spirited fashion) ?
