Woman Arrested For Warning Drivers Of Speed Trap With Makeshift Sign

                                                                                                                                                                  

A makeshift sign used to warn drivers of a speed trap landed a Houston woman in jail last week.                                                                                                                                                               Natalie Plummer was riding her bicycle home from the grocery store when she noticed several cars beng pulled over for speeding. Hoping to save a few drivers from a potentially pricey ticket, she turned one of her paper bags into a sign that warned of the waiting police ahead.                                                                                                                                                              While she was doing so, an officer pulled up and arrested her.                                                                                                                                  

"I was completely abiding by the law," she told KRTK. "I was simply warning citizens of a situation ahead."                                                                                                                                                                 The Houston police, however, were not amused by her tactics and arrested her for, believe it or not, "standing in the street where a sidewalk is present," an offense that not only sounds ridiculous, but that Plummer also denies even doing.                                                                                                                                                                   "He couldn't take me to jail for holding up this sign or he would have. So all he could do was make up something fake about it," she said.                                                                                                                                                                The officer also searched her backpack and threatened to arrest her for obstruction of justice, a much more serious charge, Plummer alleges.                                                                                                                                                                     She was held in jail for 12 hours until she posted bond and is scheduled to appear in court for her misdemeanor charge in the near future.

K.....so I didn't have time on Monday night to just "throw" something together for 9/11~ And SOMEONE, who shall be nameless......*cough*......*choke*......MICHAEL......*burp*.......*toot*.......was just a tad (A LOT) disappointed. So here are just a few things I found interesting~

From 2004-2012, Earthcam.com took images every 15 minutes to create a time-lapse video of the construction of One World Trade Center. The building is now over 1,250 feet surpassing the Empire State Building in height.

9/11 Museum To Atheists And The 9/11 Cross Lawsuit: Are You Kidding? 

Last year, atheists sued the 9/11 Memorial and Museum over the establishment's decision to include the so-called "9/11 cross." Atheists had claimed it would violate the First Amendment, but now the museum is asking for a court to end the suit, because, "As a threshold matter, the 9/11 Museum is an independent non-profit corporation. Its curators’ decisions to display particular objects, such as the artifact, in the museum are not state actions to which Constitutional protections apply."

The cross is made of two beams found in the wreckage of the World Trade Center after the September 11, 2001 attacks, and American Atheists Inc. said last year, "The WTC cross has become a Christian icon. It has been blessed by so-called holy men and presented as a reminder that their god, who couldn't be bothered to stop the Muslim terrorists or prevent 3,000 people from being killed in his name, cared only enough to bestow upon us some rubble that resembles a cross. It's a truly ridiculous assertion. It will just be a Christian icon, in the middle of OUR museum. This will not happen without a fight."

The Post has the details on the 9/11 Memorial and Museum's court filing:

According to the museum, the cross is an “important and essential artifact” that “comprises a key component of the retelling of the story of 9/11, in particular the role of faith in the events of the day and, particularly, during the recovery efforts.” 

“After its discovery, the artifact was venerated by certain workers during the course of the rescue and recovery operation at Ground Zero, including in religious services conducted by a priest,” the court papers say.

“Many of them came to regard the artifact as a source of comfort and spiritual symbolism during their time at Ground Zero, and they treated it as such.”

The museum also blasts the atheists for suggesting that a “17-foot-high A for Atheists” or an American Atheists lapel button also be included in its exhibition.

The court filing also quoted the museum's director Alice Greenwald who said, "The 9/11 Museum is ‘not in the business of providing equal time for faiths, we are in the business of telling the story of 9/11 and the victims of 9/11."

FWIW, Jon Stewart said the atheists were cray-cray while Mayor Bloomberg felt the lawsuit was fine.

Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup

I had dinner out alone with the youngest kid. We talked about 9/11. He told me about this video he was planning on watching. He was watching a similar video in school. I had planned to just post pictures here, but instead, I'm posting this video. It's an hour and a half long. You don't have to watch it. It's one of those conspiracy theory videos. I thought it was SOOOOOO interesting. It's the same stuff that Michael has been telling me since the beginning of time.....okay....for the last 5 years anyway. If you have Netflix, you can watch this without Ads. Hulu has Ads~

Husband Store

by Sac Barb 

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:  You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs    She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:  Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids. 'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'  So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.  'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:  Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework. 'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'  Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.  She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. (scroll and keep reading!) PLEASE NOTE:  To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street. The first floor has wives that love sex.  The second floor has wives that love sex, have money and like beer.  The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.
