dixiegrrrrl's JournalFirst case of man 'sexually aroused by flatulence'
The man, who has been given the pseudonym Brad, states that he is "not sexually attracted to flatulence per se, (but) the person releasing the flatulence".
He said that he engaged in his first act as a 16-year-old when he heard a male friend pass wind in front of him.
He said: "It was rather appealing in sound and I found myself fixating on it.
"At first, I didn't want to admit I was into his farting, but eventually I decided to experiment. I set up a bet at some point and intentionally lost, with the wager being the right to fart in the loser's face for a week. I continued to lose such bets once every few weeks for about two years."
Mobile County ( Republican) License Commissioner indicted.
Here's the thing...she ran unopposed the election that put her in office, now both she and her deputy are indicted for financial and political fraud.
They could NOT find one Dem. to run against her, that is how locked up this state is.
Hastie and Yeager are suspected of misusing county funds and deceiving the Mobile County Commission, according to the indictment filed in federal court in Mobile.
The indictment document accuses Hastie and Yeager of falsifying invoices and misappropriating funds in order to "obtain political lobbying and consulting services and personal benefits without the knowledge and oversight of the County Commission and at the expense of Mobile County taxpayer dollars."

Push to Boycott Black Friday in Wake of Ferguson Decision........ what say you?
The movement, also known as the No Justice, No Profit boycott, is gaining steam on social media, especially on Twitter,
where the hashtags #BlackFridayBlackOut, #BlackFridayProtest and #BoycottBlackFriday are being used to spread the message:
The Justice for Michael Brown Leadership Coalition is encouraging protesters to hit the nation where it hurts and boycott any holiday spending.

Of all that has been said and written about Ferguson, I found this to be the most profound.
Am I the only one who is struck so deeply by this?
In Ferguson, Missouri, a festering truth about the entire United States has come to light.
What Ferguson has made clear, specifically, is that the social contract has been broken.
......we are seeing nothing less than the state proving itself illegitimate.
When the decisions of a justice system are so repugnant to a significant mass of people that the state apparatus expects and must contend with popular unrest, then this political system has lost the grounds on which political legitimacy is based.
When, on Monday, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency in Ferguson ahead of the grand jury decision,
I like to think the ghost of Jean Jacques Rousseau looked on and whispered through the icy Missouri air, "Rise up."
The social contract is broken, Rousseau stated, when a government does not represent the general will of the sovereign the sovereign being the people, united and when justice is not the expression of the general will of the people. And so, in Ferguson, where the National Guard must be called for fear that people will be moved to violence because of the decisions of our justice system, the social contract, it seems, is broken.
This, for Rousseau, would be grounds enough for revolution.
Grand Jury doc dump, get them here:
We might want to keep this kicked for the morning crowd...

Also:
Darren Wilson, recalling shooting, said Michael Brown looked like demon.
Those were the words he shared with a grand jury. And late Monday, Wilson's explanation of that deadly day in early August became public for the first time, in a small part of an enormous trove of documents released by St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch.
Interesting choice of words,,,,
CNN hits a new low:
