Presidential candidates arrested

Presidential candidates Michael Badnarik (Libertarian) and David Cobb (Green Party) were arrested while attempting to serve an Order to Show Cause to the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). Earlier in the day Libertarian party members were stopped from entering the Washington headquarters of the CPD with the same papers, by CPD security officers.

From the AP:

Just as the debate began, two third-party presidential candidates purposely crossed a police barricade and were arrested. Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb and Libertarian Party candidate Michael Badnarik were protesting their exclusion from the debate.

Cobb’s message: “To expose the undemocratic nature of these debate, this election and our government. These are not debates, these are infomercials.”

I’m sure this will go mostly unnoticed in the wake of last nights debate, as we rejoice in our presidents ability to form a mostly complete sentence.

This aint your fathers pogoball

Maybe I’m the only one who has never seen these (apparently it’s been featured on Good Morning America) but Amazon is selling the Flybar Model 1200, an updated pogo stick, for three bills. Designed by pro skateboarder Andy Macdonald and SBI Enterprises who produced the original pogo stick. Able to bang out up too five feet of height, this seems like the perfect way for me to hurt myself. There’s demo videos available on both the amazon and flybar pages.

Jet powered stupidity

Sometimes you just have to go with the flow. Sometimes you just have to get the fuck out of the way. This guy has done what all of us have dreamed about at one time or another.
A jet powered shopping cart. Need I say more?
Please note that this gentleman was bright enough to put the jet fuel at the FRONT of the cart, right in line with his testicles.

And you though the jet powered wheelchair was bad ass
