Fox News showed this video after Ferguson police released the name of the man who pumped multiple bullets into Michael Brown’s body.
The video allegedly shows Brown involved in a strong arm robbery of a convenience store moments before he was gunned down in the street.
I guess Boehner and his Republican followers will add this to their lawsuit against the President. They’re not doing anything, so they’re upset that the President is. Today, our fearless leader ventured out on the White House lawn and told the world the hell with Republicans and their proposed lawsuit. If Congress fails to do what the constitution demands, then he will!

No words for this one. The Guinea Pig says it all…
Maybe this release was timed to take the focus away from another video showing Jay Z being beaten in an elevator by his sister-in-law Solange, who knows?
What we do know however, is that this video/movie will never be released.

This amazing video has gone viral! It shows a Baltimore street filled with parked cars collapsing on Wednesday due to heavy rains. The last 15 seconds of the video is truly scary.

Cellphone video taken by student on board sinking South Korean ferry records last words and pictures of teenage passengers. Father requested faces be blurred to protect grieving families. (May 1) Video provided by AP AP
A 17-minute recording made by a student who died when a ferry sank off the coast of South Korea provides the most heartbreaking glimpse yet of how a fun trip turned into horror for young passengers on the doomed Sewol.
The video, translated by USA TODAY and the Associated Press, was found on the phone of 17-year-old student Park Su Hyeon when rescuers recovered his body. His father, Park Jong Dae, said he released it to give his mourning nation a glimpse of the April 16 tragedy from inside the vessel.
The video was released to select South Korea media Monday, the same day authorities released a video taken by a coast guard member showing the Sewol’s captain fleeing the sinking ship while hundreds of passengers, most of them Danwon High School students on a class trip, remained below deck. The videos outraged the nation already devastated by the catastrophe. More than 300 of the 476 people who were on board are dead or missing.
The student video begins at 8:52 a.m. Korea time on April 16. The ship had just begun to list, and the chatter among students is a mix of humor and fear.
Early on, an announcement can be heard: “Don’t move away from your places and brace for any possible accidents.”
A student lightly asks, “Am I going to die?” But another quickly chastises with “It is not time to laugh. We are in a real situation.”
Moments later, one student says “Dad, I don’t want to die.” Another says, “It will be fun if waters flow in.”
Students are heard discussing problems with life jackets, which increases in importance after an announcement is made to don life jackets. By the time the clip ends at 9:09, everyone in view is wearing one.
Some of the students in the video struggle as they try to buckle their life jackets. As the ferry lists, they joke about “final commemorative pictures” and “defying gravity” by trying to walk on the walls.
“It’s like we’re becoming the Titanic,” one student says.
Passengers were repeatedly told to say in place. The announcement, at 9:08: “We’re again announcing: For passengers who can wear life vests, please wear them now. Never move away from your places.”
Capt. Lee Joon Seok said he delayed having passengers evacuate the ship because of worries about sending them into cold waters and fast currents before rescuers arrived. He said he ultimately ordered an evacuation, but it was not clear if that order was ever announced to passengers.
The captain and 14 crewmembers have been detained on suspicion of negligence and abandoning people in need. Prosecutors are investigating whether stability issues related to too much cargo or a redesign that added more cabins to the ship contributed to the sinking.
Some of the teens in the video use it to offer their last words. Some warn their siblings not to take school trips unless they want to end up like them.
“I’m really scared,” a student says.
“Is it really sinking?” another asks. “Wow, they’re giving us life vests.”
“I’m getting out of here,” one says. “Me too, me too,” says another.
A student says: “We have to survive now.”
“We’re all finished. I have to leave some farewell words before I die,” says another.
One says, “Mom, I love you.”

And now it’s all coming together. If you were wondering why Fox News and Republican leaders like Rick Perry were so adamant in their support for the land stealing, law breaking rancher from Nevada, maybe this little nugget from the New York Times could explain their undying support.
In an interview with the Times, Cliven Bundy explained a few things that allowed us to see exactly who the man is and why his appeal with right-wingers is so strong.
One of those identifiers is his vast knowledge of the “negros” and his willingness to share that knowledge with the rest of the world.
From The Times.
“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, “and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — they didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do.
“And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” he asked. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”
Court records show that Bundy owes around $1 million dollars in fees to the government for illegally grazing his cattle on federal lands. Despite being warned to remove his cattle and pay the fines, Bundy continued grazing on the lands for another 20 years without paying what he owed, and today he has extended his illegal grazing to include even more federally owned lands.
In other words, Bundy is a taker, a moocher who is robbing taxpaying Americans and making huge profits along the way. He is a law breaker who is fattening his wallet on the government’s dime. But still, he has the nerve to broadcast his dumb stereotype about an entire group of people, insinuating that black people sit on their porch all day, waiting for their government handouts. You know, the same underlying message Fox News push in their media outlets, the same message Congressional Republicans include in their policies – be afraid of the lazy black people coming to take your staff!
Now we see why they agree with Bundy’s law-breaking ways. Birds of a feather I guess…

I’m all for getting my stuff into iTunes more efficiently, aren’t you? Jordan Merrick is, too, and he’s come up with a brilliant way to do just that. He’s also got a great site full of clever tips there as well. Really, go check it out.
The default way, says Merrick, for media to get to iTunes is like this: drag and drop a folder full of music or a video you’ve converted from DVD to iTunes. iTunes takes said media, copies it, and places it into its own special folder structure.
What happens in this case is that you’re left holding two copies of that album or video — one in your iTunes folder and one wherever you pulled it from. That’s kind of silly, if you ask me, especially if you back up regularly. No one needs two copies of anything on their hard drive.
Luckily, there’s a cool folder in your iTunes folder that lets you add stuff directly to iTunes. Sadly, it’s pretty buried, but Merrick will show you a better way.
Open up the Finder, he says, and navigate to the Music folder in your Home folder. Open the iTunes folder, then the iTunes Media folder. You’ll see an folder called Automatically Add to iTunes. Drag this folder over to the sidebar in the Finder for easy access.
Now, every time you want to put music or video into iTunes, simply drag it over to the sidebar and into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder you’ve placed there. iTunes will then add it to its own system.
If it’s not a file that iTunes can handle, the app will place a folder called Not Added into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder that can clean out later.

This happened in 2010. I cannot remember seeing or hearing about it, but these right-wing hate mongers calling themselves “Christians,” were so against their fellow Americans getting the opportunity to buy private health care, that they gathered in Washington and prayed to God for Divine intervention in killing Obamacare.
And it wasn’t just the regular nuts that prayed, no, the irregular ones prayed too. Georgia Republican Congressman Jack Kingston joined in the insanity.
It happened on Monday’s NCAA Championship game. The father’s name is Rob Maiden and his son’s name is Trey. Together, the dynamic duo stole the show… literally!
Notice the infamous flight simulator in the background. Authorities have discovered that a month before Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah piloted the missing MH370 flight from Malaysia, he deleted a log from the simulator.
Eleven days now into this drama, and there’s s6ill no word on what happened to the plane and its passengers.
When the retirement community in which Evelyn lives got rid of the bus that took its members to the grocery store, her friend Joyce was dismayed and afraid that she would be moved. She didn’t want to go anywhere else and she didn’t have to, because Evelyn stepped up and obtained a license, making sure that Joyce could go to the store (and anywhere else she needed to go).
Evelyn’s quiet confidence and fortitude are admirable, and she points out that while she doesn’t have much money, she still wants to help others in any way she can.
