Portland today.

 

It's A Cultural Thing, Over There

A dog and her puppies are being credited with helping to save a newborn who was abandoned in a field in India, possibly because she was a girl.

The Epoch Times reports local residents in Chattisgarh, India reported finding the infant while going out into the field to work in late December.

According to Chattisgarh Police, the newborn girl was naked and her umbilical cord was still attached. Local residents said the baby was surrounded by a dog and her litter of puppies, and they believe the animals kept the baby warm by snuggling up against her through the night, the Times reports.

In India, they only want male offspring - likely, that'll be a real drag come dating/marrying time....

 

I've Always Thought Of It As "Mike"

Amazon's done it again! Their facial recognition software identifies Mooch Obama as male.

Maybe it'll score a two-fer and identify Barry as female.

That pair's never struck me as quite right.

 

 

Evidently That Time Of the Month...

"This disturbance led to the injury of fellow passengers and Delta employees," according to Atlanta police who took the woman into custody once the plane landed and handed her over to the FBI, which is handling the case.

AND:

Federal prosecutors in Tennessee announced Tuesday that they charged a woman with interfering with a flight crew, accusing her of kicking and hitting flight attendants and screaming that she wanted to get off the plane.

The incident, aboard a Spirit Airlines flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Nashville, occurred on November 27 after two airline passengers asked to change seats because a women's "disruptive behavior made them feel uncomfortable," according to a criminal complaint. A flight attendant told federal authorities that Henry — who appeared drunk — grew "irate and belligerent" once the men moved to different seats. The complaint said Henry grew even more disruptive when the flight attendants asked her to move to a different row, away from the emergency exits.

And yet again:

SYRACUSE N.Y. — Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers at the Philadelphia International Airport stopped a Cortland woman and her young son from boarding a plane with two knives sewn into the middle of a stuffed Darth Vader Bear on Monday.

Seated next to a woman on a flight in economy class? Thanks, but no thanks.

 

Lobster Rescue

Interesting, and blessedly brief. Still going strong, last I looked.

Odd idea of a pet, admittedly.

 

 

It's The Holiday Season!

Portland is one of those cities. Stay out of downtown, folks - be safe this season!

 

 

Poop-Dash

LOS ANGELES - A DoorDash driver in Southern California was seen on surveillance video using a customer's residential building lobby as a toilet after dropping off an order.

The building manager of a Brentwood apartment building was contacted by a resident in the building saying that there was feces all over the lobby of the 19-unit building. When the building manager checked the surveillance video, she was shocked to see a DoorDash delivery driver using a trash can in her building's lobby to take a dump.

"What I saw… I could not unsee. I was flabbergasted at what I saw," Lisa Stanley, who was the DoorDash customer for the delivery, told FOX 11. "She let it go. You know what they say, ‘when you gotta go, you gotta go,' and boy did she ever."

"You're four steps away from outside where there's a bush or your car, or I don't know – but not in the lobby of a Brentwood apartment building!"

"This is a health issue. You have a human being who's taking a poop in the middle of her job in a lobby of an apartment building and then resuming her job which is delivering and touching food," Stanley added.

Hmm...so far as I know, the drivers deliver but don't touch the food - which is packaged up and bagged. so Lisa got that part wrong. But pooping in a lobby trash can is certifiably weird. Maybe there are no gas stations in Brentwood?

Apparently, the DoorDash driver lost her job as a result. I wonder what she used to wipe when she was done....

 

 

Amazon Girl

The Amazon worker who went viral in October after a woman was filmed leaving the back of his truck said the attention the video received got him fired.  The former delivery believes the virality of the video is what got him fired, telling TMZ: "It was just the incident went viral, that's what cost me my job."

Excuse me while I find a mirror so I can practice my "shocked" face. 

“This why my packages always late.”

 

Hardly A Surprise

Portland, Ore. — FM News 101 learned late Wednesday night that in response to the criminal indictment of Officer Corey Budworth, the bureaus entire Rapid Response Team resigned.  Sources with the Police Bureau say the team voted unanimously to disband.

Can't blame them - many in this town display their contempt for cops on a regular basis.

 

Glenn K. Beaton

I like this man's commentary. He says what's on his mind, with no mincing around, and it's easy to see why many agree with him.

As an example, he recently published the following:

A fawning “report” in the Aspen Daily News breathlessly announced more federal COVID funds for Glitter Gulch, otherwise known as Aspen, Colorado. You know the place. It’s where the house pictured above just sold for $72 million, and houses routinely go for $3-5,000/sq ft. Where insiders such as newspaper reporters and city council members get slope-side multimillion dollar homes for dimes on the dollars under the taxpayer-subsidized housing program.

The fed money this time is for Aspen’s vagrants. Er, I mean “homeless.” Er, I mean “persons experiencing homelessness.” Whom, we’re told, are camping on the sidewalks and pooping in the gutters because they’re afflicted with something called “shelter-resistance.”

Aspen already has a “homeless shelter” for people who say they can’t afford a roof over their heads but nonetheless choose to live in one of the most expensive places in the world.

As he so often does, Beaton gets right to the root of the "problem", there. He doesn't simply "flatten the curve"; he pretty well nukes it.
