Illegal use of food product

Thanks to the internet, this guy will have his face and image go world-wide, showing him comitting an act of brutality.  Nice way to cap off your career in law enforcement, buddy!

Disturbing as the original incident was, the image of a militaristic officer spraying pepper at innocents has also gone world-wide as a satirical and inventive internet meme.

I am always amazed at the creativity of human beings.

Meanwhile, in the "you couldn't make this up" department, Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly defends the action, declaring that pepper spray is "a food product, essentially!"  

I am equally amazed at the absurdity of human beings.

I got tagged

Tootsie Farklepants tagged me with a meme. The meme was started by A Girl Named Timi, and it's meant to break up the midweek doldrums. Here's what its all about:

Name 4 things you should know about me before you invite me to your house:

1) I'll eat almost anything you serve except something too sweet. Seriously. So if you've been wanting to trot out that Martha Stewart party recipe with the exotic ingredients, your family's traditional ethnic specialty made with organ meats, the unusual vegetable you found at the Farmer's Market, or that delicacy you found on your travels to the Islands - I'll eat it and probably love it. But if you're serving buttercream icing and syrup-soaked bon bons with extra powdered sugar, whipped cream and a cherry on top? I'll be happy with a vanilla wafer, thank you.

2) I'd love it if you'd show me around. As a matter of fact, if you don't I'd be disappointed. I love people's houses and if you're proud of what you've done, I'm only too glad to show appreciation. I generally have House Envy Syndrome about almost everybody's home I visit, and like to imagine what it'd be like to live there.

3) I'm a good helper. Maybe it's my event planning background, but I'm more at ease helping than perching on a sofa making chit-chat. Let me help in the kitchen, bring food to the buffet, or answer the doorbell - I'll help you out and have a great time meeting your guests. If there's a crisis - a bug needs smooshing or a battery needs jumping - I'm willing to pitch in.

4) I'm easy going. I like your dog. I like your kids. I'm not put off by a little untidiness. But I can also let my hair down, too. I can tell some racy stories. I'm not afraid to talk politics. I laugh at dirty jokes. I've been known to jump in the pool.

I'm tagging 4 people with this meme -
