in the most inane govermental scientific report to date, scientists now blame pigeons for the recent bridge collapse in Minnesota. WTF? WTFFF? well, it appears that the acidic content of pigeon excrement is strong enough to rust through the bolts that help hold the bridge together… AND this ubermensch-like poop caused or at least contributed to the bridge’s demise… IF ONLY the corps of engineers had thought of such a preposterous EXCUSE for the levee breachesin New Orleans.  Nutria droppings anyone? Pelican pooala mode? BTW i wonder if State Farm, Allstate, or Louisiana Citizens covers this. It could fall under wind or flood damage…

Just sounds like more bull stool to me… speaking of which, our fearless leader will be visiting on wednesday since he missed our anniversary last year.  Now can we REALLY talk about BS…BLOG THIS!

A very interesting new site (new to me anyway). In their own words:

Welcome to Signal26, where a New Orleans policeman can speak the truth freely without fear of retribution. Are you a New Orleans citizen? Read about how your police department is really run by the mayor’s office and command staff. See what everyday police must overcome just
to keep you safe.

Evidently written by an officer. Give it a read through and don’t miss the comments. It seems the public are not the only ones to be fed up with the antics of the Nagin/Reilly circus act.

Hat Tip to Slate

EDIT: This Signal26 posting talks about what the site is all about in response to a piece Garland Robinette did on WWL Radio. Personally I really like the idea of an unfiltered voice from the rank and file of our law enforcement. The view of NOPD as either all good or all bad is not in tune with reality. I’m a native, I have my share of both good cop and bad cop stories. I will be aproaching 103-M, the blogger for a virtual interview in the near future, keep your eyes peeled.
