Next stop: the week-end.



Public sector workers get more cash than you or me:

In yet another story of public sector opulence, it appears that hundreds of thousands of core public sector employees could soon be eligible to collect severance payments even while they remain in their jobs.

While that may sound counter-intuitive, PostMedia News is reporting that government is in the process of renegotiating 27 collective agreements that had allowed for the accumulation of severance.  The new deals — some of which have already been finalized — won't include severance, so current employees will be given an option of "cashing-out" their accumulated benefits from past years.

They can do so while they keep their jobs, they also can wait until they resign or retire to collect the cash, or they can receive some of it now and the remainder when leaving the public service.

Bureaucrats in the Privy council office, for example, have already collected $10.5 million in voluntary severance, averaging out to around $21,729 for every worker who requested the cash out.

The total cost to taxpayers, according to PostMedia, could total up to $1 billion.

These are the Quebec brats in the next few years.



Proof that the left aren't just crazy; they are evil:

What you just heard and read is no joke. It actually happened. The phenomenon is called “SWATting,” because it can bring a SWAT team to your front door. SWATting is a particularly dangerous hoax in which a caller, generally a computer hacker, calls a police department to report a shooting at the home of his enemy. 

The caller will place this call to the police department’s business line, using Skype or a similar service, and hiding behind Internet proxies to make the call impossible to trace. Anxious police, believing they are responding to the home of an armed and dangerous man, show up at the front door pointing guns and screaming orders.

That is exactly what happened to me. It is a very dangerous hoax that could get the target killed.

Read the whole thing.



All of this is because of a convicted criminal named Brett Kimberlin.



This goes far beyond the usual paranoid fantasies and crass insults. This starts on the other side of a line one was not meant to cross.


This is the left. Take a good look. These are the bullies, the insecure pantywaists, the vile creatures for whom no ethical qualm can ever take root.



Related: go to the 7:45 mark and wonder where it all went wrong in our civilisation. Or at least in Gail Davidson's mind.

And now, drunk cows (no, I'm not making it up!):

Boxford police had their hands full chasing some hard-partying cows Sunday night, according to police.

Police Chief Michael Murphy passed along pictures from the incident that began when officers were called to Main Street for an animal complaint.

They arrived to find six cows crashing a party in a neighborhood backyard.

According to a report, officers said about a dozen young adults had been drinking beer at a picnic table when the cows showed up.
