WASHINGTON — After backlash at Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald’s comments that the VA should not judge success by wait times because Disney does not, McDonald clarified that the VA will actually attempt to provide the same amount of youthful wonderment as major theme parks.
“The VA has always been about putting on a spectacle,” said McDonald while donning a Mickey Mouse costume. “Like Disneyland, our employees are fully prepared to keep the magic of pretending to care alive.”
Officials say veterans will get more than the much discussed waiting...

I was going to respond and then I saw the link to duffelblog.dipshit.org
Aside, from OPs shitty sources... Robert McDonald was the former CEO of Proctor and Gamble. Is he just a random CEO who happens to be completely retarded or is the belief that businessmen make good government leaders a bit off? Maybe he was trying to Vet Affairs even worse in an attempt to privatize it?

Goodyear Police arrested CBS 5 journo Jonathan Lowe Monday afternoon while he was on assignment, reporting on a former Arizona State University football player who allegedly sacrificed the family dog by putting him in a smoker in order to appease an angry God.
That doesn't begin to explain the kind of day Lowe was having, however.
"Lowe chose to use the front yard of a residence to relieve himself," Goodyear Police Department spokeswoman Lisa Kutis tells New Times. "An onlooker from across the street called it in to officers. They approached...

When New Times tried to reach Lowe by phone at the newsroom, we were told he wasn't in. CBS 5 news director Dan Wilson declined to comment directly about Lowe's arrest, describing it as a "personnel issue." Wilson did say that Lowe is still employed by the station "as of right now."
Asked why the station didn't report on the arrest, Wilson said it was because the police report had yet to be released and CBS 5 was still assessing the situation.
"Without a police report, we are waiting to make editorial decisions based on more...

What the fuck!
Around half of all people, including straight men and women, could carry “gay genes”, meaning that they continue to be passed down the generations despite the tendency of homosexuals not to have children, new research suggests.
The sisters of gay men tend to have more children, helping explain the persistence of homosexuality in larger populations, while straight men may also carry genes predisposing them to being gay, the study found.
Research by Giorgi Chaladze, of Ilia State University in Tbilisi, Georgia, used a computational model to look at the influence of genes and heredity on homosexuality, and its presence throughout human history and in all cultures.
Dr Chaladze sought to find out why genes associated with homosexuality don’t die out, even when – unsurprisingly – straight men have five times more children than gay men. He took into account previous research that gay men are more likely to come from larger families.
Based on Chaladze's calculations, published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, male homosexuality is maintained in a population at “low and stable frequencies” if half of the men and roughly more than half of the women carry genes that predispose men to homosexuality.
Dr Chaladze said: "The trend of female family members of homosexual men to have more offspring can help explain the persistence of homosexuality, if we also consider that those males who have such genes are not always homosexuals.”
The number of men who engage in same-sex sexual behaviour or report same-sex sexual attraction consistently outstrip estimates of those who self-identify as homosexual or bisexual – suggesting that many straight men carry the “gay genes” too.

Other than a private individual promoting the program, I don't have an issue with individuals studying atheism.
If public universities study religion why not study atheism as well? It seems better suited to be part of the religion department rather than its own department, but whatever.

JOENSUU, FINLAND. 5/15/2016
Two young males aged 21 and 23 attacked a police patrol investigating disturbance in downtown Joensuu city. One of the men was carrying a 2 foot sword while the other had a knife. Each cop in Finland carries a 9mm handgun and in the patrol car there is also an MP5 but the officers chose to deploy mace instead and succeeded in disarming the thugs. The two assailants are suspected of atttempted murder, attempted assault and causing damage to property (the police car)

Why in the world was the offender not shot?
Pepper spray has been known to fail.
>>44875
because it didt happen on american soil
in europe its uncommon for the police to use their guns to hurt people
police will often attempt to apprehend anyone doing a serious crime then figure out what caused it and then pass the perpetrator onto an appropriate authority help resolve the matter
TLDR; police in europe not trigger-happy
>>44875
Because they are trained.

Why should that surprised you? When their argument fails to stand to reason, they just try to shrill the opposition into silence. But that's starting not to work. So they turn up the s shrill. More to their undoing. Faster the better.

A self-proclaimed fat activist, Virgie Tovar, promoted the idea that overweight people are an oppressed class at a University of Minnesota event called “Dispelling Myths: Fat, Fatphobia, and Challenging Social Stereotypes.”
The event, held on International No Diet Day (May 6), was sponsored in part by the university’s School of Public Health and its Office for Equity and Diversity.

“Fat activism” puts overweight individuals into a category with other groups of people who claim to...
