It's the end of the world as we know it ... and I feel fine

Did you know a Weapon of Mass Destruction was detonated in a Londonderry, PA market this weekend!?

Pellets hit crowd in blast at flea market

An Elizabethtown man was charged Saturday with possessing a weapon of mass destruction after police said he ignited a device filled with plastic pellets inside Saturday's Market in Londonderry Twp., hitting at least five people and causing alarm in the building.
[...]
The device looked like a plastic Easter egg with a firecracker inside, said Peggy Beckley, the market's vendor manager. She said the pellets, like those used for an air gun, were inside.
[...]
Beckley said she was startled by the loud sound and the pain of the plastic pellets hitting her.

"It sounded like a window shattering to me, but some people said it sounded like a gun going off," she said.

No one was taken to a hospital, Beckley said.
[...]
He was charged with possessing a weapon of mass destruction, risking a catastrophe, recklessly endangering another person, disorderly conduct and simple assault.

I admire that this print reporter was able to report the 'WMD' (AKA firecracker) going off in the Londonderry flea market with a straight face, (actually I guess it was with straight type ... not that there's anything wrong with that.)

I especially admire that Liz Collin of a local CBS affiliate was able to report on the horror, Oh the horror I tell you, with a straight face, (there's definitely something wrong with that.):

Police say Camp did it right in front of two security guards working at the front entrance. No one was hurt but police say the plastic air-gun pellets hit five people.
[...]
Camp is from Elizabethtown. He was released on $5,000 unsecured bail last night.

Do ya think they're aware that this charge is going to make a laughingstock of their local criminal justice system?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Jeebus have we lowered the bar. Dog nose Colon Powell* would have had even more non-existent WMDs for his dog and pony show before the UN 5 years ago today, if he'd just known a firecracker and harmless plastic pellets were WMDs!

And frankly I don't give a damn that he considers the "pre-Iraq U.N. speech a 'blot' on his record"

Happy 5th suckiversary Colon!

May you suffer the same fate as all the 3,954+ Americans and the one million+ Iraqis have from your lies.


*I didn't mistype his name, the only way anyone could be that full of $hit is that they would have to be a colon.
