A passenger on a British Airways plane defecated on the floor before smearing feces on himself and around the cabin earlier this month. The news was first reported by The Sun. Emergency services were called to Heathrow Airport following the incident on a Boeing 777 aircraft due to fly to Lagos, Nigeria. During boarding the male passenger took his trousers off in the economy cabin on flight BA075 on October 7 before defecating on the galley floor, The Sun reported. The man then sat in the feces, "rubbed" it into carpet and ran up the aisle smearing it on seats...

Mumbling idiot has nothing better to do right I guess. Imagine what the networks would have said if Trump said he needed to go and tell sob stories on their network instead of the 6 o’clock east coast news, the most profitable part of the day for many local networks.

Van Jones, President Obama's disgraced green jobs czar, is back with a radical progressive plan to rescue America ... from his old boss. The problem, posits Jones, is that his fellow community organizer in the White House hasn't spent enough, regulated enough or taxed enough to achieve their perverse version of the "American Dream." What the country needs to "get the economy back on track," according to Jones and his league of leftists, is more government-created make-work. Oh, and a hefty side of Big Labor pork. Jones recently teamed up with George Soros-funded retread MoveOn.org, Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky of...

I am curious why none of the media covers the most important aspect of the Malvo shootings. If you look at Newspapers on the dates when the shootings are underway you discover something I find quite interesting. The shootings begin to dominate the news the day before the debate on the Iraq war starts and they catch them the day after the declaration of war??? If you ask most people "do you remember the debate about starting the second Iraq war", they will all answer "yes of course". But if you followup with the question "name one point in the...

I recently received a reply to a post that stated: "This should be beneath a "freeper". Sad." So I asked.. what is it that makes a FReeper? My reply (and I will admit was tasteless) was also questioning. It stirred controversy and was removed? Why Moderators? Can you not tell me? Did it not meet with your "FReeper" mentality? According to all posted guidelines it should be listed but no, you chose to delete it. Yes.. I'm the first one IBTZ, I'm sure you'll nick me for speaking up..

A woman got a 30-day jail sentence for leaving her three young children home alone for several hours while she and her boyfriend attended a videotaping of "The Jerry Springer Show." Shannon Cook, 25, pleaded guilty earlier this week to misdemeanor child endangerment. She also was placed on probation for a year. The two girls and one boy, all under the age of 4, have been placed in foster homes... Police said Cook left the children alone at a suburban home Oct. 19 while she and her boyfriend went to Chicago for the taping. About five hours later, the two...

Unable to digest India's rout by South Africa, a cricket fan in West Bengal committed suicide by hanging himself, reports said on Sunday. Tarun Shit, 30, of Gobardhanpur village in West Midnapore district was so saddened by India's defeat on Friday in the one-day match that he ended his life the same night. Police said the civil engineering student was a diehard cricket fan and used to watch every match on television. He started feeling impatient as the Indian wickets fell to the South African pace attack. Dejected, he went upstairs around 8 pm. When his mother went to call...

Ancient Rome's fish pens confirm sea-level fears 09:30 16 August 04 Exclusive from New Scientist Print Edition. Subscribe and get 4 free issues. Coastal fish pens built by the Romans have unexpectedly provided the most accurate record so far of changes in sea level over the past 2000 years. It appears that nearly all the rise in sea level since Roman times has happened in the past 100 years, and is most likely the result of human activity. Sea-level change is a measure of the relative movement between land and sea surfaces. Tide-gauge records show that the sea level has...

Many argue that communism will never be possible because of "human nature". The essence of this false argument is the belief that a communist society would consist of an all-powerful central government that would tell everybody what to do--and would therefore undermine the creative initiative of individuals and the search for happiness. • This argument is based on two false assumptions: (1) It assumes that a communist society will look like the former Soviet Union, or the current China, North Korea, etc (ie: corrupt police states with a feudal-style ruling class) (2) It assumes that people will only work in...

Mfensi (Ash), Nov 17, GNA- The persistent defecation in the classrooms and on the school premises of Mfensi Basic School, in the Atwima District of the Ashanti Region, by some unknown persons, compelled the teachers and pupils to embark on a street protest on Tuesday. Mr Thomas Kyei, Head teacher, who led newsmen to inspect some of the affected classrooms, said the problem started five years ago and all efforts by the school authorities to address it have proved futile. Blackboards, furniture and the walls have all been smeared with human excreta, while some teaching and learning materials have also...

Did our Commander-in-Chief act like one during the (in)famous 7 minutes?

AFTER ZEL MILLER'S SPEECH AT THE CONVENTION, HE HAD SEVERAL INTERVIEWS. ONE OF THESE WAS WITH CHRIS MATTHEWS HOST OF MSNBC'S "HARDBALL". MR. MILLER HAD STATED IN HIS SPEECH THAT JOHN KERRY WOULD USE "SPITBALLS" AS WEAPONS IN THE "WAR ON TERROR". MR. MATTHEWS QUESTIONED MILLER'S USE OF THE TERM AND ASKED MR. MILLER IF HE TRULY BELIEVED MR. KERRY WOULD USE "SPITBALLS" AS WEAPONS. MR. MILLER INFORMED MR. MATTHEWS THAT HE WAS USING A METAPHOR. FURTHER QUESTIONING AND SOFT PROBING OF MR. MILLER'S SPEECH RESULTED IN AN UNBELIEVABLY ANGRY RANT BY MR. MILLER. MR. MILLER WENT TO THE POINT...

Paranoia can be treated with today's advancements in medicine. It may not be cheap, unless you go to Canada, but if you wake up everyday feeling threatened by islamic terrorists, losing sleep and feeling just plain cranky... I highly recommend some form of therapy for your everyday fears. If you think the Republican party is going to save you by shooting first and asking questions later then you people are crazier than we thought. It seems since 911, the Democrats have been the only party able to remain calm and have rational thoughts. They never would have agreed to a...

Bush says war on terror will be won Mark OliverTuesday August 31, 2004 The US president, George Bush, does believe America will win the war on terror after all despite his damaging remarks yesterday to the contrary. White House spokesman Scott McClellan said today that Mr Bush "will make it crystal clear ... that we will win the war on terrorism by continuing to take the fight to the enemy". This standpoint was in marked contrast to Mr Bush's comments on NBC television yesterday. He was asked whether America could win its "war on terror", and replied: "I don't think...

You know while everyone goes on about who is the best commander and cheif, i think its best to remind ourselves who actually created the terrorists? I mean it was george bush who armed Sadam, it was Tthe CIA under the Bush administration who armed Al Qaeda, If anyone is unfit for the top job, its George W Bush

Flip flops? Your boy Bush make Kerry look like a minor leaguer. See below: 1. Bush is against campaign finance reform; then he's for it. 2. Bush is against a Homeland Security Department; then he's for it. 3. Bush is against a 9/11 commission; then he's for it. 4. Bush is against an Iraq WMD investigation; then he's for it. 5. Bush is against nation building; then he's for it. 6. Bush is against deficits; then he's for them. 7. Bush is for free trade; then he's for tariffs on steel; then he's against them again. 8. Bush is against...

September 29, 2003, 10:07 a.m. Inside McClintock’s Head What could have been. By Arnold Steinberg LOS ANGELES — Republican candidate for California governor Tom McClintock is honorable and principled, intelligent and serious. He can be plainspoken in his eloquence. Now, with the election barely a week away, some may ask plainly: Why is he still running? McClintock's critics say he is not a team player. But McClintock supporters reply that the Republican team was AWOL last year. That's when McClintock barely lost in the state controller's race to a Democrat who outspent him 5-to-1. Republican kingmakers, according to McClintock partisans,...
