The P.O.P. Factor

"Just the facts, ma'am." More often than not, politically correct bullshit won't be found here. Pardon me while I exercise my 1st amendment right! I welcome all to my little world of bitches, moans, gripes and complaints, and sometimes, the downright freakin' odd. Take a seat and join me. I love a good story.

Hot time in the City

Beaufort County, SC

Times are tough. We all know that. We do what we can to pay the bills. People get desperate during desperate times. When people get desperate, they often do things out of character. Sometimes the reasoning behind doing these desperate things borders on the irrational. Resorting to making or dealing in drugs, break ins, thefts and robberies are at an all time high. Pawn shops and scrap metal businesses are doing some booming business.

It's also hot. Everywhere. It seems as though the whole east coast is melting under this unbearable heat wave and many millions of people are without power and may be for some time.
That stupid bastard, Al Gore keeps rubbing our faces in his global warming prediction. Okay, I concede. He may have been on to something, but nothing worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize. He deserved that recognition almost as much as Obama deserved his. Oh, but that's a whole other rant.

My point is that the theft of certain metals and air conditioning units is on the increase. Copper is a lucrative commodity and AC units and plumbing disappear frequently. In Beaufort Co., SC the Sheriff's department had been reporting a rash of AC units being stolen and then.....they too became the victim.
A Deputy made a stop at a small sub-station and noted the oppressive temperature inside. His investigative skills lead him to the biggest clue ever....someone had stolen the AC unit.
People are brazen. You really shouldn't POP during a heat wave. They get kinda cranky.

Just a little humor.

AC Thefts Heats up

Have a safe 4th of July, Independence Day celebration!

I give the thief credit from stealing from a cop:

He is very ballsy and VERY stupid. He only hurts himself... After they catch the weasel, guess which cell the crook is going to 'cool his heels' in? The one with no HVAC! Poetic justice!

Al Gore is full of crap BTW. Global warming is real. So is global cooling.

Man Made Global Warming is the hoax. Al Gore blames CO2 that is is junk science. CO2 is NOT to blame; SO2 and CFCs and methane are the real nasties in air and atmosphere pollution. Warming, in part. Pollution, for sure.

Ever notice that Big Al's family is a bunch of ranchers and that cows produce so much toxic methane in condensed areas do to modern feed lot practices? Why is Savior Al not rallying to end his 'cash cows' and finger methane?

By blaming CO2 Al can get a TAX put on all basic aspects of modern life that use energy. The whole carbon credit (tax) bullshit. Gore wants the money and control over the life blood of modern living: Energy and transportation. He is a socialist and wants to run the lives of others.

Also AL GORE SENIOR voted to not give blacks any civil rights. Jr now wants to not give any rights to all men unless we bow to the 'go green' thugs and their agenda.

Anyway... Read some neat facts:
