Quit Clowning Around: 500lbs of Cocaine found on Tour Bus

Latin grammy nominated musical group Los Payasonicos was caught crossing the board at Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge with 200 bricks of cocaine hidden in a secret compartment on their tour bus.

On Sunday, US Customs and Border Patrol searched the private tour bus of musical clown act Los Payasonicos, finding 200 bricks of cocaine, weighing a total of 500lbs. A spokesperson for the US Border Patrol refused to release names of the people on the bus, sighting instructions given by someone higher up the food chain than him.

The bus driver and co-driver were taken in for questioning but cleared and released later on Monday. The singing clowns are undergoing questioning, though no arrests have been made at this time.

Interestingly enough, another bus, very similar to the Los Payasonicos bus, for the Mexican musical group Arnulfo Rey y As pulled into the same border crossing a short time later and was found to be carrying some 600lbs – 700lbs of cocaine. No reports of any sad clowns being arrested at this time.

On a side note, this isn’t the first time Los Payasonicos has had drug related issues. According to a Mexican newspaper, Los Payasonicos has direct ties to Osiel Cardenas and the Gulf Cartel.

Cardenas was arrested in 2003 and it is believed that he still controls much of the drug trade in northeastern Mexico from his jail cell.

How cool is that, a Mexican clown musical act with their own kids show, that was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award, could have ties to the Gulf Drug Cartel. Those are some bad ass clowns!

At Least They Weren’t Touching Little Boys

The Catholic Church is in the news again, but this time, not because a few priests sexually abused some little boys, amazingly enough.

Two former Priests of a Catholic Church in Florida are being sent up on criminal charges for allegedly skimming close to $8.6-million in funds over the past 40 years. Both priests are being charged with grand theft and it didn’t take long for one of them to confess to everything shortly after being arrested. At least he seems to have that part of Catholisism down. Guess he missed the part about greed being a sin though. Oh well, I’m sure if he confesses to stealing from the good ole’ god-fearing people of Florida for 40-years his sins will be washed away. That is how this whole thing works, isn’t it? Don’t matter what you do, as long as you confess it and have your sins absolved you’re in the clear. No wonder they like little boys so much.

Police have yet to catch the second priest though, who allegedly used half a million dollars of the stolen cash to pay off gambling debts and go on a vacation. I’ll assume I don’t even have to mention how the Catholic Church feels about gambling.

The best part about this entire situation, you ask? The only reason the cops found out about this money laundering operation is because an anonymous parishioner sent a letter to a State Attorney informing him of his fears. Why did the parishioner send this letter instead of letting someone higher up in the Catholic Church know, you ask? Well, one big reason: he was afraid that the Diocese of Plam Beach would cover up the theft and keep it a secret. The fact that a parishioner can’t even trust the Diocese HAS to be great for the Church. Just goes to show, the corruption doesn’t stop at the church level, it goes a whole lot further up then that, not even members of the church trust the church anymore.

McChicken McCancer with a side of Heart Attack

Eat chicken and get cancer.

Yup, that’s right, chicken products from fast food restaraunts have been added to the long list of things that can cause cancer. As the list seems to grow almost daily, it’s no wonder we don’t all have cancer, or starve.

A US doctors group has sued seven major fast food chains like McDonalds and Burger King for their use of dangerous carcinogens in grilled chicken products, how comforting.

The group is hoping to compel fast food restaraunts into better warning their customers of the dangers involved in eating their grilled chicken products. For some reason, I don’t see that happening. The group also said that every sample of grilled chicken products taken from the seven major fast food restaraunts tested positive for a dangerous carinogen known as PhIP.

I’ve never been a fan of grilled chicken stuff from fast food restaraunts myself, so I don’t have anything to worry about on that front. I’d personally be more worried about the absurd amount of calories, fats, saturated fats and trans fats found in almost all fried chicken.

Why does the stuff that tastes oh so yummy always have to be the stuff most likely to kill you? It’s like being taunted.

Horror of all Horrors

I forgot to prep the coffee maker last night for my morning coffee. What am I gonna do? I don’t wanna wait until I get to work to have a coffee and I sure as hell don’t want to spent $15 on a Starbucks coffee. To bad they aren’t still doing that free starbucks coffee promo, that’d be real nice about now. It really is a shame that they had to go and cancel it so quickly.

Oh well, that’s my whining for the morning, now I have to go chew on some coffee grounds. Bye now!

The Blame Game

In a post I made a day or two ago I featured a video of Bill Clinton vs Fox News, from Sunday’s Fox News airing. Well, without surprise at all, this entire thing has certainly snowballed quite a bit.

It started off with former President Bill Clinton calling out a Fox News reporter and essentially calling him a biased right-wing media whore, which I’d personally say is a fairly accurate description of generally anyone over at Fox News. Mr. Clinton’s comments were sharp and to the point, accusing Fox News of being one sided, not asking the same questions to both Democrats and Republicans and essentially calling BS on everything the Fox News reporter started off saying. Clinton also admitted to failing in finding Osama Bin Laden, but admitted the fact that at least they looked for him, which is more than can be said for President George W. Bush and his crew.

It was these comments inparticular that set off retaliatory jabs from Condoleezza Rice and George W. Bush. They both, of course, played the blame game and gave their usual reply of ‘nuh uh, nuh uh, nuh uh. We’re right and you’re not, so shut up poopy head,’ like any 4 year old in a sandbox would do. Both Rice and Bush said that they had done more to track down Osama Bin Laden than Clinton had done and that Billy Boy never took the threat of terrorist actions serious enough. Though, judging by the current state of affairs in the US and the general feeling of ‘Osama Who?’ running through the Republican government, I tend not to exactly agree with those points.

Now, since Georgie Boy and Condee got their shot to comment on the situation and accuse Clinton of doing a worse job than them, Senator Hillary Clinton has stepped up to defend her husband. How cool is that? For some reason this actually surprises me a little. Senator Clinton made some fairly pointed comments and did a great job defending her hubby. Good work guys! Maybe you should have teamed up a bit more when Billy was President if it works so well?

“I think my husband did a great job in demonstrating that Democrats are not going to take these attacks,” Mrs. Clinton said. “I’m certain that if my husband and his national security team had been shown a classified report entitled ‘Bin Laden Determined To Attack Inside the United States’ he would have taken it more seriously than history suggests it was taken by our current president and his national security team.”

Zing! This comment was made in regards to a document that was apparently presented to the Bush administration before 9/11 ever occured, which they promptly swept under the rug.

All I have to say is cheers to Hillary Clinton for standing behind her husband and cheers to Billy boy for have the steely ones to stand up to the right-wing media and cut them off at the neck.
