How many American workers are really unemployed in this third year of our Great Recession? About 26 million people. That includes those still looking for jobs, people forced into part-time work and the many millions who’ve just given up. Considering the actual “workforce” of the United States is about 140 million people total — the other 170 million are presumably too old, young or disabled to even try — this means about 20% of “workers” are now desperate drifters ready to kill anybody for any reason at all. Let’s check out some of this week’s high-profile hard-boiled tri-state killin’ sprees!
- A stabby creep was caught at the Atlanta airport after an alleged tri-state stabbing spree in Michigan, Ohio and Virginia. The murderous knife monster is accused of sinking his steely blade into at least 20 people. [CNN/WDIV]
- The search continues for escaped murderer John McCluskey, 45, and his “old lady,” 44-year-old Casslyn Welch, continues as the butt-ugly slobs prey upon innocent campers. Last said to be roaming Yellowstone National Park, the gross pair are being called “Bonnie & Clyde” because Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were young and good-looking Depression-era small-time crooks who killed a whole lot of coppers, while McCluskey is a repulsive Aryan prison gangster and his woman is a worn-down old trailer-park hag. [Spokesman-Review/Arizona Daily Star]
- McCluskey’s prison-escape buddy, 42-year-old Tracy Province, was caught “with a handgun and a hitchhiking sign” near a rural church where he’d done some day labor for $40 and enjoyed a service, just like in The Incredible Hulk teevee show with Bill Bixby. [KULR 8]
- But the savage monsters who robbed the “Kut and Kurl” beauty salon in Gentry, Arkansas, were not the same monsters rampaging through the West, according to the U.S. marshal in Arizona. [NYT/AP/CBC]

Meanwhile, Justin Bieber continues to steal the hearts of millions of teen girls.
Cue banjos
… And all those numberless unemployed, looting the treasury for money to squander on food, shelter, utilities and health care.
…I’m guessing my comment got moderated for the number of links in it.
Oh Golly, Serge Gainsbourg….le fap, la fap, le fap.
Ah, my kind of people.
Today, we are all Charlie Starkweather.
But the search for the remaining fugitive and his cousin/fiancee appears to be focused on western Montana and southwest Canada, and federal authorities in Spokane offered no further information today.
Yeah… definitely sounds like Aryan Ubermenschen.
Correction. That’s 26 million lazy people who are waiting for their Obama handout, and won’t get off their ass and move to China to work in a sweat shop. You know … special interests.
Luna’s cover of Bonnie & Clyde (with Laetitia Sadier) as the secret track on the Penthouse CD is probably the coolest thing every recorded by an American rock band.
Ah, can’t these criminals be a little creative and exciting in their crimes? There was a guy who robbed a bank in New York dressed as Darth Vader a few weeks ago, and a woman in a Philly suburb who ripped off Bill Murray to rob one dressed as a clown; let’s see more colorful crooks like those.
Headline at the KULR8/Billings, Montana site:
COMMUNITY STUNNED BY MURDER’S ARREST
Me, too.
I wish there was an American Guy that I could use as a comparison to Serge Gainsbourg, but there isn’t. Serge Gainsbourg could have only been French.
Example A: This is a video to a song called, “Les Sucettes” that Serge wrote for cute little France Gall. The song is a pretty overt reference to Oral sex, but the connection can’t be made, the video is even more over the top
watch and laugh

Example B: A much older and perverted and drunk Serge tells a very young Whitney Houston that he wants to Fuck her on a French Television talk show

Bonnie and Clyde would probably have gotten away if they didn’t keep stopping at every telegraph office to post new stuff on Facebook.
Looking forward to a Midwest rampage by Babyface Ben Nelson (D-Tommy Gun).
[re=637348]Escape Goat Nation[/re]: I have had very strong sexual feelings towards Serge since I first heard “Je t’aime moi non plus’ when I was a 12 year old schoolgirl and they have only increased over the years.
Yeah, he also wrote, “laisse tomber les filles” for France Gall

You hipsters might recognize this as, “Chick Habit” that another very cute April March had a minor hit with a few years back.
[re=637371]Escape Goat Nation[/re]: My personal favourite Gainsbourg song is this one…Damn he is so sexy in this clip.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oMrPdOQYr0&feature=related
[re=637384]Limeylizzie[/re]: This lady has a lovely version of that song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7c8HldM1hg
[re=637348]Escape Goat Nation[/re]: I would say “Leonard Cohen,” but then I’d be saying, “You’re right, because Cohen’s a Canadian.” Bob Dylan — old Bob Dylan, especially — is probably the answer, as Dylan/Cohen/Gainsbourg form the western world’s Sexy Jew Songwriter Genius triumvirate.
[re=637316]Serolf Divad[/re]:
Hey, they’re keeping their genetic line “pure” in the Egyptian Pharaoh kind of way.
But yes. ICK!
[re=637426]Ken Layne[/re]: As a female person, I would say Leonard Cohen if he was more sensual, but there is something about the French Jewish thing that is unbelievably sexy, cf. Bernard -Henri Levy , Sami Frey, Jean-Pierre Aumont .Bob Dylan is just not sexy at all, to me, sorry.
Aha, I’d say Cohen is closer to Gainsbourg than Dylan. I’ll forget that Cohen is Canuck for a bit.
Dylan sexy? I think that may be stretching it a bit, but Gainsbourg transcends the Sexytime. Gainsbourg was a drunken lovable pervert.
Look at this album cover:

Don’t get me wrong, I really like Gainsbourg, I even have some of his old Jazz Albums and they’re decent enough, but boy did he ever get into creepyland as he got older. Maybe creepy is a little subjective. After all, we are talking France here. Oh wait, forgot about the song, “Lemon Incest” that he made with his daughter. Nevermind.
I’m still looking for a video on youtube that I think is with Jane Birkin. It’s a slow grinding psychedelic number that’s 7 or 8 minutes long. It’s really really great.
Duh, found it.
It’s, “Melody”

Last one out of the labor pool is a rotten egg.
… near a rural church where he’d done some day labor for $40 and enjoyed a service …
It was sweet of the pastor to throw in a BJ along with the collection plate.
God…Serge Gainsbourg was hideous….I can’t believe that guy knocked up Jane Birkin.
Murderin’ – meh. But the Serge Gainsbourg/Anna Karina theme song from the ’60′ TV musical “Anna”? Someone did a murderous job of pacing the images, but the music is a treat:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAVsGHDw_RU&feature=related
[re=637482]Senator Bateman[/re]: You are a man aren’t you? You will never understand the appeal of Serge Gainsbourg, and he didn’t “knock up” Jane Birkin, it was an intense and frenzied love affair and marriage. OK?
Serge Gainsbourg and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins on the French TV playing “Constipation Blues” on two pianos. Who else was ever cool enough to do that? See for yourselves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-ITKLbictI
Stabby Creepy actually had a job!
I think ya gotta add the meth to creepy crime sprees.
Anyhoooo — I’d like to add a local unemployed methhead creepy mini crime waver. He went into to businesses that don’t really have a lot of cash around — Like, this real estate office where he got some petty cash & robbed a few customers & shot some poor soul ’cause he was pissed at his takings.
Luckily, being a dope, he was stopped for expired registration and fit the profile plus had the gun and….
PS — Gainsburg = God.
