Natural Born Killers

So... Mickey and Mallory are back.

Check this out, true story.

There is currently a fugitive on the loose.

A few days ago, a woman threw wire cutters

into a private prison facility, where her husband,

and two other inmates cut the fence and escaped.

Really?!

Is this a prison, or a gated community?

Why (or how) is it possible to:

a) get wire cutters

b) cut the gate!?

So three inmates and this insane woman were on the run.

Two of the inmates were "captured" and we learn that

the man and woman are fiancées and cousins.

(you can't make this shit up)

They interviewed the man's stepfather (why?!),

and he explained that, "they think they're 

Bonnie and Clyde, but they're not."

Whew.  I thought fictional characters were real.

If these two idiots could be any fictional fugitives,

I'd want them to be Mickey and Mallory from

Natural Born Killers.  Those two were cool.

Start a trend.  Inspire people to be free.

... get Robert Downey, Jr. 

and Denis Leary involved.

Where's Rodney Dangerfield when you need him?

Scan my Pocket

So, a friend of mine recently told me

that there's a new scam out there

where a criminal can scan

your credit cards by

brushing against

your back

pocket.

Perhaps that's what you get for being lazy.

Is it too hard to have to swipe the thing?
You just want to hold your card up to

the gas pump or that thing at the

supermarket checkout line...

...well, that's what you get.

I told my friend not to worry about being a victim.

They're probably only targeting people who 

look like they've got lots of money.

Isn't it bad enough that the 
credit cards are ripping us off?

Charging ridiculous interest rates, and subsequently

putting people into permanent dept for 

spending money they don't have...

(isn't that what the banks did?!)

Why should we be held to a standard 

that the federal government isn't held to?

What is our national dept at this point?

Are there any bill collectors knocking

on the front door of the white house?

(perhaps one day there will be)

Hopefully by then I'll know

how to speak Chinese anyhow.

Either way, I'll take the extra two seconds

and "insert card: remove quickly"

Goodnight.
