Quick Bites: UFOs?… Airborne Criminal… Just When You Thought Sports Couldn’t Get Crazier… a Powerful Motown Cover
* I’m not up on my UFO history… although I do know that the topic has been getting more coverage since reports from the US military have confirmed hundreds of UFO sightings. Remember: UFO means “unidentified flying object.” It doesn’t mean visitors from outer space. But you don’t have to have an opinion about the origins of UFOs to enjoy these old paintings that seem to depict ancient sightings of bean-shaped flying objects. Click here.
* “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” That was the pitch that this several-times-convicted felon gave to the judge in his plea to be summarily forgiven for his latest assault. “I don’t drink anymore,” he told the court. “I don’t steal. I’m not violent.”
He was referring to the months he spent outside of jail after his arrest, thanks to one of George Soros’s progressive DAs that believe the only way to correct the “inequity” of the “overrepresentation” of Black Americans in US jails was to, at the very least, give them “free bail” – i.e., let them out of jail until they are convicted.
His plea, to me, sounded sincere. He was calm and spoke with what I took to be evident sincerity. On top of that, he looked like a nice, well-spoken, and possibly unfairly charged man who had truly turned his life around.
He did, that is, until the judge denied his request and told him he’d have to wait in jail until his trial date. Then this happened.
* Follow this lunatic down a snow-covered trail. “This is an insane sport!” said JS when he sent in this clip. “I am not even sure what it’s called. Ski biking?”
