Greetings, non-sports fans! I care not at all about competition and exerting oneself. That's not fun, especially in the heat of summer! So let's grab an icy cold drink and do the opposite of Olympics.
But first, The Recommendations:
August 8 is the 220th day of the year. There are 145 days left.
Today's number is eight
Another week flew by. The Olympics started and Brazil (Brasil) pays a heavy price. Here they are in the midst of a coup by an oligarchy that can't even cheat their way to the presidency, so they just out right steal it. Public servants doing without pay to prop up the extensive costs of the games including security that abuses them. Then there's Turkey and Russia are joining forces after the coup, as we escalate attacks in Libya.
Welcome to Openly Eccentric where I don't have a standard opening line and I like it that way.
So, first up looking forward to the 2nd Portland Meetup at the Lucky Lab. If you missed the last one, it was a blast. See you all on 8/20 at Noon, and if you need further details, the announcement is right here!
Finding a job was hard enough for people with disabilities even before our current economic cluster. Now, with more and more jobs requiring drivers' licenses and the ability to travel to multiple locations, it's damn near impossible to find any employment whatsoever.
Apparently the new thing in the politics is for the mayors to become crime waves.
R. Scott Silverthorne, he is the mayor of Fairfax, Virginia. He also maintained a tube in which he offered methamphetamine to men willing to have sex with him and some other men.
Silverthorne, 50, indicated that he could provide methamphetamine for sexual encounters and undercover detectives agreed to meet for a group sexual encounter in exchange for methamphetamine, police said. Silverthorne arranged to bring methamphetamine and other men, police said.
Detectives met Silverthorne at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in McLean on Thursday and
he was arrested after he gave them methamphetamine, police said.
When you are an American, you are not allowed to have methamphetamine, when you have sex with the men.
Neither are you permitted to get naked with the minors and load them up on alcohol. That is why Anthony Silva, mayor of Stockton, California, he was put in the pokey. It seems that, when not mayoring, Silva runs himself a "youth camp," where he whips out the liquor and then invites the young people to join him in a game of strip poker. Suffering from some sort of Nixon disease, Silva decided to tape these encounters, and now Mean Police, they have the tapes, and Silva, he is in Trouble.
Previously Silva had some Trouble when a 19-year-old woman accused him of sexual battery, the city manager charged him with secretly taping their conversations (more Nixon disease), and there occurred a fracas in a limousine, which caused police to handcuff the mayor while a woman ululated that Silva had inappropriately gone Clenis on her. Silva also had a firearm that got itself stolen; the gun then fired into a house, before killing a 13-year-old boy who was standing in his driveway. The cop people are claiming that Silva is declining to provide information in the homicide investigation, apparently because he doesn't Feel Like It.
Released on bail, Silverthorne and Silva united to form the Meth & Minors party, with which they now seek to become the president, and vice-president, respectively. They have already seriously redrawn the electoral map, as political analysts expect the Meth & Minors party to prevail this November in at least West Virginia, where four years ago some 41% of the Democrats voted for a Texas prison inmate, rather than cast ballots for The Kenyan.
