- The lab worker fellow who is now a “person of interest” in the murder of the Yale lab worker gal will probably be promoted to “suspect under arrest,” as there is new DNA evidence that’s literally incriminating. [Hartford Courant]
- The White House is hesitant to make the Joe Wilson thing about race, despite the best efforts of the “Carter White House” to do so. [Washington Post]
- Twitter, the Internet company that publishes the perverse away message library Twitter, is worth $1 billion. It could buy itself a 141st character with that sort of money. [Reuters]

- Some German teenager brought Molotov cocktails and an ax to school on Thursday and killed very seriously injured! nine people with the Molotov cocktails and ax. [AP]
Nothing but good news and sunny skies again, Juli?
And I already started today with a sad.

Star Wars interuptus. Suck on it PL & CZ.
I guess this means the Soviet tanks will be rolling across the the border into Czechoslovakia now. President McCain would never have allowed that. Way to lose the Cold War, Barry!
Also, if there were US missiles in Prague, they could have dealt with the school attack in Germany by nuking Berlin. Now that opportunity has been lost.
Killed nine people? More like wounded nine people with non-life threatening injuries. But this still brings up the much more pertinent question: when will NOBAMA start confiscating our axes and Molotov cocktails?
Here’s something to cheer up the day:
Orly Taitz and Larry Sinclair are having a fight.
Or a crazy-off, or whatever you call it.

Those wacky Bavarians and their Niebelungen names. Udo and Gudrun will now escort you through the Chocolate Forest to the Gingerbread House and serve you Molotov Cocktails. Winnifred, the Hitler-loving Wagner wife, would be proud.
they will get my molotov cocktail when they pry it from my burninn hot hands…………………when molotov cocktails are outlawed, only outlaws will have molotov cocktails
I think we should ask Newt Gingrich - a very smart sci-fi writer for a comment on the president’s reckless decision to rethink any national sci-fi security project.
I had a molotov cocktail, once. Needed less vermouth.
Twitter is worth a billion dollars? That can’t be right…a mechanism to distribute the ejaculate of self-important nitwits fappitations is worth a (B) billion bucks ????
I don’t care if Hopey is a Jedi knight, we’re still doomed bunnies.
Yale lab worker guy ain’t too bright. They must hire from local stock. It was only a matter of time before they saw the poor woman enter the building but never leave it. His initial interrogation probably didn’t go very well for him.
Where have all the missile defenses gone?
Long time passing.
Where have all the missile defenses gone?
Long time ago.
Where have all the missile defenses gone?
Gone to Turkey at Putin’s request.
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Germany will now move to ban bottles, rags, gasoline, matches, and axes.
If it only saves one child…
dave666: Molotov cocktails don’t kill people. People kill molotov cocktails…fro, outlaws. Anyway, it’s all there in the letter.
hobospacejunkie: My guess is, he didn’t intend to kill her.
I’m staying in the bunker today and drink.
Except I’m out of liquor.
Got plenty of gas, rags, matches, empty bottles and axes though.
Canmon (the Inadequate): Now let us all join together for “99 Lead Balloons”.

I’ve never seen the media go apeshit like this over the death of a non-caucasian female. Odd. Is it because there are so few Asians in the Ivy League?
Juls,
Crazy German teenybopper only wounded nine folks not kill them.
See, US America? Gun control “works.” Ever since those happy Germans cranked up the heat on guns, whacked out kill crazy Germans have been forced to use less lethal weaponry. It’s success!*
*methodology taken from RW crazy talk about “success” in Iraq
True story. I wrote a (stodgy academic journal) article about school violence in the USA, with numbers to prove it. Sent it to said journal, based in Europe. The editor returns w/out review, saying “we don’t have school violence in Europe, you nutty American, so this is irrelevant to the land of fabulous cheese and cuckoo clocks.” Not long after, dudes go stone cold batshit in Germany, more than once.
Maybe it’s time to dig that out and polish it up again.
Canmon (the Inadequate):
Clever, but seeing that god is a big PP&M fan you’re probably going to hell.
Look me up when you get there.
The Jimmy Carter thing:
This bullshit meme by the conserva-tards, (I’m lookin’ at you, Doucheborough), is so willfully ignorant. Citing polls that Obama’s popularity has dropped 20% and asking; “Did 20% of Americans turn racist overnight?” No Douche, it’s the 30% who didn’t vote for, nor will ever approve of, or support ANYTHING Obama does. Why’s that? He’s got a (D) after his name, and he’s black. Period.
You know, maybe this lab technician killed that Yale grad student, maybe he didn’t. We’ll find out eventually. But in this case, and as someone whose own nuptials is coming up in a little over a month, I feel we should let the fiance go to town on his betrothed’s murderer with an axe and some Molotov cocktails.
Seriously.
On a lighter note, Jimmy Carter reminds me of Mayor West on Family Guy. God love ‘im, but he’s a dumbass.
Julsie, that German lad only wounded those people. He did kill their Thursday though.
groove: Did his girlfriend just write on her My Space page “he is a wonderful boyfriend” or was that an older message. Based on reports of his past relationships, wonder how abused she is.
Canmon (the Inadequate):
If I had an axe and some molotov cocktails
I’d use ‘em in the morning
I’d use ‘em in the evening
All over this land…
groove:
No. Until Mayor Carter spends the entire town’s budget on a solid gold statue of Digg’em, I will still put Jimmy ahead of Mayor Adam West.
freakishlystrong: Thank you.
ChernobylSoup v2: Odd. Is it because there are so few Asians in the Ivy League?
More likely because the pictures of the victim released to the press show her as an Asian-hottie.
The press never does in-depth coverage of ugly murder victims.
hobospacejunkie: Hey, hey, hey! Don’t blame the sins of one asshole on an entire state’s populace.
Missile shield. Atlantis. Unicorns. Obama’s birth certificate. Leprechauns. Et cetera. I’ll take things that don’t exist outside of Kenya for $1000, Alex.
MissM: Let me rephrase…don’t judge the intelligence of the entire state just because one asshole committed a crime in the dumbest possible of ways. Then again, we are responsible for keeping Lieberman in office, so I will just go sit in a corner and drink now.
“His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain…”
Rest in peace, Mary.
O.K.. I never understood this. This missile shield was supposed to protect Europe from rogue missiles fired from Iran. Fair enough. The question still remains as to why we have to pay for it and install it. The Europeans would seem to be the ones who should be paying for it (I’m sure Raytheon will gladly give them a bulk discount). But they don’t want to, since they lived within spritzing distance of a superpower that had tens of thousands of nukes and got along just fine without a missile shield.
And did the Poles, who for some reason agreed to host this Bushboozle, ever think about where the radioactive debris would all fall if one of the incoming “Iranian” (I never knew Moscow was in Iran) missiles got destructed?
Uff da!
What is it with American presidents forgetting Poland?
Re: racism amongst the teabaggers, one of the most annoying habits of my fellow Americans is denying the obvious, if it’s embarrassing. Well-off Americans deny that other people’s problems are real all the time. White folks are very prone to this but I’ve gotten it from Black Americans, too. Anyway, racism is very common in America, and a large share of the anti-Obama meshugas is racist. Likewise, the sky is blue, the grass is green and the sun rises in the east. Just because the Grand Dragon of the KKK denies he’s racist doesn’t mean you should believe him! Self-deception is as common has dog-shit, and so is racism.
Re: Oily Tights and Sinclair, did he snap her bra strap or something equally adolescent? Maybe the fasteners were too oily and slipped out of his fingers….
ChernobylSoup v2: Probably the reporters all have Yellow Fever. Which is one reason I teach English in China.
Rest in Peace, Mary. The world’s a sadder, darker place now.
TGY: The nice thing about having a Molotov Cocktail is that you never, never, never have to tip the bartender.
O.K., my reply button thingie doesn’t work, and neither did the link offered by ifthethunderdontgetya, so I just googled Orly Taitz Larry Sinclair. Hoo Ha!
Since the nine Germans were only injured and not killed, I won’t feel like an asshole for asking a trivial question: is there an actual Molotov cocktail, in the sense of something one drinks at parties? I mean there MUST be.
ifthethunderdontgetya: “Texas Steel Cage Death Match.” We can only hope…
zhubajie: Agreed. Americans are very adept at denial.
“Denial: a river in Egypt.”
The Poles made it a LOT worse for themselves today when they called the White House and demanded to “speak to the chocolate faced man’s boss” about this.
Vulpes82: In a quart bottle, mix a jigger of vodka, dash of peppers, two jiggers tomato juice squeeze of lemon, fill to top with gasoline, garnish with flaming rag stuffed into the top of the bottle and serve (quickly).
Molotov cocktails and an ax? Was fuer’n scheissbloed Depp.
AxmxZ: scheissbloeder Depp, du Hosenbiesler.
hobospacejunkie: Molotov cocktails and axes don’t kill. German teenagers do. Ask Poland. HI-yooooo!
Vulpes82: Serious answer: Jigger of vodka, float a splash of 151, light, blow out and shoot.
The speed with which my past is fading accelerates. Puff.
That’s too bad about the missile shield. Shouldn’t the peace corps be building cesspools in third world nations though?
points for creativity, wacky german teenager dude.
dijetlo: Of course, Our Wonkette is now big on Twitter.
gurukalehuru: Linkie works, I just checked…

When will the National Molotov Cocktail Association issue a press release emphasizing that Molotov cocktails are used for legtimiate purposes 99% of the time, that Molotov cocktail throwing ranges are a vital and important part of our national economy, that law-abiding citizens protect themselves from criminals with Molotov cocktails, and that our Second Amendment Right to keep and bear Molotov cocktails shouldn’t be abridged because of the unlawful acts of a few renegade individuals?
ladymacbeth: Poor bastard had to freestyle. In Das Oon Ess Aah, you just go and get a gun and get busy. No wonder our kids have no problem solving skills.
Mary Travers, a 1960s person who performed in the musical rock group Peter, Paul and Mary, is dead now from leukemia.
And the Summer 2009 Celebrity Death March continues…
