...it seems the Fort Hood Massacre was *not* an attack by an Islamic extremist.At least, not according to DoD.It was merely an incident of Workplace Violence.I guess the Five-Sided Puzzle Palace's next step will be to recall all those Combat Action ribbons and replace them with buttons reading "I survived Incidents of Workplace Violence"......

Food Riot at Occupy Argghhh!

We have our own version of OWS at Castle Argghhh! where ne'er-do-wells demand free services and expect to live catered, consequence-free lives and expect and demand that the bourgeois pay for it.

This is usually what greets me when I head for the truck in the morning to go over to my cube farm that pays for this farm. They're fat, they're sassy, and they're hungry!
