Feds bamboozle teenager, ruin his life

Ah, those Homeland Security fellas! We are so safe, with them protecting us. Why, just yesterday they fooled another dimwitted young man into acting against the US, kinda sorta.
A bloodthirsty Al Qaeda wanna-be was busted Wednesday after setting out to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank in lower Manhattan with a bogus 1,000-pound bomb he built with the help of undercover FBI agents, officials said.
This 17-year-old child sounds vicious, doesn't he? Why, it probably only took several months for the intrepid FBI and NYPD undercover agents to fool this boy. Encourage his jihad fantasies, help him get the materials for the "bomb", build it with him, maybe rent him a van so he can deliver the fake bomb somewhere, and then arrest him with a hundred journalists watching. Success!

I imagine the agents who helped to bamboozle this boy are very proud of their actions. He'll probably never get out of jail, and his family's life is ruined. But wow, are they keeping us safe, or what? Great work, fellas. You know what you are, guys? You're a bunch of goddamn pigs with no respect for human life or the truth. This is why we refer to you as elite forces. Take a bow, fellas. You ruined another innocent person's life. Hooray!!!

Paul Ryan's soup kitchen photo-op

You've all seen the staged photo of Paul Ryan allegedly washing a pot at a soup kitchen. At Think Progress this morning, there's a post that reveals the soup kitchen's side of things. Here's a quote from the president of the Mahoning County St. Vincent De Paul Society, Brian J. Antal:
"They showed up there and they did not have permission. They got one of the volunteers to open up the doors… The photo-op they did wasn’t even accurate. He did nothing. He just came in here to get his picture taken at the dining hall.”
That's Paul Ryan, a made-up guy. Rumor has it the pots were already clean. It was strictly a photo-op. It's amazing that they didn't realize they should, you know, work at the soup kitchen for a few hours. But no. Image is all to these people.
