Bush wipes his hand off on Clinton

In Haiti, former President Bush appears to have wiped his hand off on former President Clinton.

Arnold Schwarzenegger to congress: FAIL

Perhaps he was infusing “dry work of government with a dash of man-
ly brio,” as New York Times speculated, but Arnold calls it a “wild coincid-
ence.” (If you include the first letter in the first line, it reads, “I F*** You,” which is
a complete sentence, it’s also an interesting invitation. Who could turn down
such an offer? If this happened to me, I’d tell
everyone!

Does this mean that the Governator made a FAIL? Or did he do it on purpose?

Police For Anarchy?

anarchy cop, new york on Flickr – Photo Sharing!.

How many FAILs can you count in this picture?

From the photographer:

this shot was taken at the protest against the republican national convention in new york a few years ago. the atmosphere was great – even the police were talking nicely to people! (mostly). i saw a glimpse of this anarchy tattoo under this cops shirt and i asked if i could take a quick photo. he agreed on the condition that i didn’t show his face or badge. i guess he had an interesting path to becoming a police officer.

Politician Hangs up on Obama, thinks it’s a Prank Call

(NECN/ABC) – If only she had caller ID. A phone call to a Florida congresswoman just didn’t have the ring of truth, so she gave the caller the bruth. Turns out, the guy she left hanging was a VIP: President-Elect Barack Obama.

Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen has a hangup. A paranoia about prank calls. So when a man sounding very much like the president-elect called her, she hung up.

Watching Friend’s Kids Free = Unlicensed Daycare? FAIL!

An Irving Township, Michigan mom, Lisa Snyder used to watch her neighbor’s kids in the morning while they waited for the bus because their parents had gone to work, but the state sent her a letter telling her to stop running an “unlicensed day care” or face penalties, including possible jail time.

Police Hit a Guy in a Wheelchair, then Give him a Ticket

After the victim was taken to the hospital, the police were nice enough to pay him a visit and issue him a citation for jaywalking. FAIL!

Millionaire Mansion-Owner and Fortune teller hobbyist = Homeless Begger!

While apparently okay in Hyrule, this would be illegal in Minnesota.

While apparently okay in Hyrule, this would be illegal in Anoka, MN.

In Anoka County, Minnesota, the following things can get you classified as a vagrant, which is a misdemeanor. Which one of these things is not like the other things? (In English, a vagrant is a homeless person or wanderer.)

A person who is found loitering on private groundw without consent of the owner and is unable to account for being there.
A prostitute who loiters on the streets or public places to solicit for immoral purposes.
A person who derives support in whole or in part from begging.
A fortune teller.

A law against being a fortune teller! Could anyone have seen that coming?

To be fair, the fortune teller has to get some sort of “support” from fortune telling to be a vagrant, but that could be a simple service trade or small fee. You can see the whole text of the law here.

Chicago Police parked in handicap spot.

I took this photo while I was in Chicago last month. It seems that the car is, indeed, handicapped, but the officer did not appear to be. I once got a $300 ticket in Chicago for parking on the curb down the block from a permit parking sign that was hidden by a tree, and I couldn’t fight it because I had to leave town. This officer probably got a BIG ticket for this, right?

Right!?
