Bank of America to gun company: Find another bank
McMillan Fiberglass Stocks, McMillan Firearms Manufacturing and McMillan Group International have been collectively banking with Bank of America for 12 years. But no more: In a recent meeting, the mega-bank told the firearms company that its business is no longer welcome.
Operations director Kelly McMillan told the Daily Caller that his company has never been late on a payment and has never bounced a check. The debt outstanding on its line of credit is at 61 percent.
But at the bank’s request, he said, the McMillan group of companies would soon be paying off its credit line and closing its accounts.

“At this point I interrupted him,” McMillan said, and asked, ‘Can I possibly save you some time so that you don’t waste your breath? What you are going to tell me is that because we are in the firearms manufacturing business you no longer what my business.’”
Fox’s reply, according to McMillan? “That is correct.”

Boycott Bank of America: They hate the Second Amendment.
I have defended banks in the past, I don't care how much they pay their presidents, I'm not a jealous man.
However, I have just learned that Bank of America told a gun company to find another bank.

They had better be the best neighbors ever...

"Well, I don't know--"

"Okay, you can borrow it."
"Make sure there's gasoline in it."
"Of course."

"I'll give you the number for my septic tank guy."

Maybe Mitt Romney has got something to hide?
I'm still looking for original documentation of Romney giving McCain 23 years worth of tax returns. Anyone have a link?
McCain: Two Years of Romney Tax Returns Is Sufficient

Mitt Romney: I am not a tax crook!
Mitt Romney's campaign explains why he doesn't need to release any more tax returns than the one year's worth he's already disclosed:
Mitt Romney has been scrupulous about observing the requirements of the tax code. His income is reported and taxed in full compliance with U.S. law, and he has paid 100 percent of what he has owed. His good name means everything to him. Throughout his life in this and in other matters, he has conducted his personal and business affairs so as to be beyond reproach.
So far beyond reproach, in fact, that they don't believe anyone has a right to see exactly just how far beyond reproach he went. But you can trust Mitt Romney isn't a tax crook. His good name means everything to him, after all.
Sure, in 2008, Mitt Romney was willing to give John McCain 23 years worth of tax returns during the vice presidential vetting process. And sure, McCain ultimately picked Sarah Palin over Mitt Romney. But there's nothing in those returns that would make Mitt look bad. How do we know? Because his campaign said so. Mitt Romney isn't a tax crook. Period.

Police arrest man selling freshly cut penis
LILONGWE, Malawi - Police in Malawi have arrested a 24 year old man after he tried to sell the freshly cut penis from a 45 year old.
<snip>
Police said Banda had admitted selling “many body parts to well known business personalities”. Many locals believe human parts can bring riches, and unscrupulous businessmen and witchdoctors pay thousands of kwachas to poor locals to kill people and mutilate their bodies.

Road Rage in the City (Back Bay is the Florida of Boston)
Road Rage in the City
Posted on April 14, 2012
From the urban hellhole known as Back Bay, March 1 (as reported by The Boston Courant):
On Thursday, March 1 at 1:48 pm , District 4 officers responded to a report of an assault and battery in the first block of Newbury Street. A valet explained that a woman had tried to park her car in a posted valet spot, which was blocked by orange cones. He explained that she couldn’t park there, but the woman said she had an appointment and was leaving her car there. She picked up the cones, threw then into a nearby pickup truck and got back into her car to park. The valet, standing in front of her vehicle, repeatedly told her she could not park in the spot. She replied, “If you don’t move, I will keep going!” She hit the valet in the legs about five times, but he declined medical attention.
Two witnesses, including someone who had videotaped the incident, corroborated the victim’s story.
The woman admitted to hitting the valet and maintained that she could use the space due to her appointment. The officers explained that she couldn’t hit people with her car (I guess you really can’t assume drivers know the basics around here) and that she was illegally parked. The suspect replied that the valet should go back to his own country. The officers said she would have to be issued with a summons to Boston Municipal Court for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and that she had to move her car. “Thank you very much,” she replied.
But, if you think she was genuinely appreciative of the cops giving a summons rather than arresting her, think again. The woman exited her vehicle and yelled, “If you tow my car, you will be sorry!” The 80-year-old suspect walked into a Newbury Street building, leaving her car, which had a handicapped placard, in the valet space. The officers also issued her a paring ticket and contacted the Registry of Motor Vehicles to request a hearing about the possible suspension of the suspect’s license.
