The candidates this year are...

Eighth Place:

In Detroit , a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys.

Seventh Place:

A 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who "totally zoned when he ran," accidentally jogged off a 100-foot high cliff on his daily run.

Sixth Place:

Buxton , NC : A man died on a beach when an 8-foot-deep hole he had dug into the sand caved in as he sat inside it. Beach-goers said Daniel Jones, 21, dug the hole for fun, or protection from the wind, and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom Thursday afternoon when it collapsed, burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach, on the outer banks, used their hands and shovels, trying to claw their way to Jones, a resident of Woodbridge , VA, but could not reach him. It took rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him while about 200 people looked on. Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Fifth Place:

Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed in Lompoc, CA , as he fell face-first through the ceiling of a bicycle shop he was burglarizing. Death was caused when the long flashlight he had placed in his mouth (to keep his hands free) rammed into the base of his skull as he hit the floor.




Fourth Place:


Sylvester Briddell, Jr., 26, was killed in Selbyville, Del, as he won a bet with friends who said he would not put a revolver loaded with four bullets into his mouth and pull the trigger.




Third Place:


The following mind-boggling attempt at a crime spree in Washington, DC appeared to be the robber's first (and last), due to his lack of a previous record of violence, and his terminally stupid choices:

1. His target was H&J Leather & Firearms, a gun shop specializing in handguns.


2. The shop was full of customers - firearms customers.


3. To enter the shop, the robber had to step around a marked police patrol car parked at the front door.


4. A uniformed officer was standing at the counter, having coffee before work. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a hold-up, and fired a few wild shots from a target pistol. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, the police officer with a 9mm GLOCK 17, the clerk with a 50 DESERT EAGLE, assisted by several customers who also drew their guns, several of whom also fired. The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics. Crime scene investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop. The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds. Ballistics identified rounds from 7 different weapons. No one else was hurt in the exchange of fire.




HONORABLE MENTION:


Paul Stiller, 47, was hospitalized in Andover Township, NJ, and his wife Bonnie was also injured, when a quarter-stick of dynamite blew up in their car. While driving around at 2 AM, the bored couple lit the dynamite and tried to toss it out the window to see what would happen, but apparently failed to notice the window was closed.

RUNNER UP:

TACOMA , WA. Kerry Bingham had been drinking with several friends when one of them said they knew a person who had bungee-jumped from the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in the middle of traffic. The conversation grew more heated and at least 10 men trooped along the walkway of the bridge at 4:30 AM. Upon arrival at the midpoint of the bridge they discovered that no one had brought a bungee rope. Bingham, who had continued drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a coil of lineman's cable lay nearby. One end of the cable was secured around Bingham's leg and the other end was tied to the bridge. His fall lasted 40 feet before the cable tightened and tore his foot off at the ankle. He miraculously survived his fall into the icy salt water and was rescued by two nearby fishermen. "All I can say" said Bingham, "is that God was watching out for me on that night. There's just no other explanation for it." Bingham 's foot was never located.




AND THE WINNER:

Overzealous zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt (Paderborn, Germany) fed his constipated elephant Stefan 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally let it fly, and suffocated the keeper under 200 pounds of poop! Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded on him. "The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground where he struck his head on a rock and lay unconscious as the elephant continued to evacuate his bowels on top of him" said flabbergasted Paderborn police detective Erik Dern. With no one there to help him, he lay under all that dung for at least an hour before a watchman came along, and during that time he suffocated. It seems to be just one of those freak accidents that just proves..."s*** happens" !!!

The Shadow had to look deep into the files to find a suitable place for this but "corruption"  (where the money comes from) and "rampant stupidity" are eminently suitable.

http://www.minnpost.com/stories/2009/10/06/12247/senate_passes_franken_amendment_aimed_at_defense_contractors

The fact that only Rs voted against the amendment is noteworthy.  Not all Rs voted against it.

The Shadow 

 

This in just another example of Congress flexing its muscle and holding states hostage.  On the other hand, the former Chief Justice in complicit in allowing Congress to throw its weight around.

What does this do for the victim? NOTHING.  If in fact she doesn't have the right to appeal, they should outlaw these contract methods, but no, they are allowed to persist as long as you can do without federal funding.  This isn't about the victim.  Congress is using this as an opportunity to look good without effectively doing anything, as always.

The amendment does not require contractors to change or modify existing employment contracts.

Sessions pointed to the fact that an appeals court recently ruled that Jones' lawsuit could go to court, in part because it is beyond the bounds of the contract agreement. (On Tuesday, however, Halliburton filed a petition for re-hearing to try to return the case to arbitration.)

Where do the states come into the matter?

As far as the victim is concerned you can't have it both ways.  You can't say that the govt. should keep its nose out of private business and at the same time suggest that congress should have forced a change in the contract.

What the amendment does, is say if you want to do business with us (the Govt.) you must behave a certain way...  No one is forced to take a govt. contract

The Shadow knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men.

It depends on the jurisdiction.  This happened in Iraq, American company, based in.... 

My point wasn't that the government should/shouldn't do this.  Congress passes legislation all the time to regulate what businesses can and cannot do.  They're obviously trying to use this for political gain or else why bring up the incident?  I'm sure there are plenty of other examples that aren't as emotionally appealing.

Perhaps not stupidity but  plain ignorance.  And these people vote.  From Dublin probably Republican 

The provision has been on the books for a long time. He also does not know (or just not say) that the maximum is $ 50 per person and that the $ 100 applies to couples.   It is meant to encourage small donations with not "strings" attached.  It is a step towards giving little people a voice.

Tax credit comes at inopportune time
Tuesday,  December 29, 2009 3:00 AM

I've just read a contribution-solicitation letter sent to an acquaintance of mine from state Rep. Tracy Heard, D-Columbus. She advised her readers that their contributions to her campaign will be offset by a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on their state tax return up to a maximum of $100.

This is a change to the tax code that is news to me.

At a time when tax reductions are being delayed and cuts are being made to essential services in the state budget, why divert revenue to those who may have helped to create this budget crisis and, at a minimum, have definitely failed to correct it?
