If you can’t tell rubbing alcohol with caramel coloring from scotch, you should probably not be ordering the good stuff. Still, this is pretty outrageous.

At one bar, a mixture that included rubbing alcohol and caramel coloring was sold as scotch. In another, premium liquor bottles were refilled with water – and apparently not even clean water at that.

State officials provided those new details Thursday on raids they conducted a day earlier as part of a yearlong investigation dubbed Operation Swill.

Twenty-nine New Jersey bars and restaurants, including 13 TGI Fridays, were accused of substituting cheap booze – or worse – for top-shelf brands while charging premium prices.

Just curious, who goes to TGI Fridays and orders quality scotch in the first place? If you are the type of person drinking at TGI Fridays, shouldn’t you be ordering a fuzzy navel or a slippery nipple or some such thing? Asking for good scotch at TGI Fridays is like asking for filet mignon at Burger King.

It’s not the America we celebrate on July 4, that’s for sure. “Drunk on power?” Hell yes. This video is must see.

Authorities say three brothers have been arrested after three women who vanished about a decade ago in separate cases were found alive Monday in a residential area just south of downtown Cleveland, just a few miles from where they disappeared. One of the women said she had been abducted and told a 911 dispatcher in a frantic call, “I’m free now.”

Police said one of the brothers, a 52-year-old, lived at the home, and the others, ages 50 and 54, lived elsewhere. Authorities released no names and gave no details about them or what charges they might face.

Ramsey is a hero but he is funny as hell too. This video is great. It will go viral today.

“I knew something was wrong when a little, pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms. Something is wrong here. Dead giveaway.”

Any day now.

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Wednesday that it is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for stealing 559 pounds of explosives last month near Red Lodge.

The theft happened sometime in April when thieves broke into a U.S. Forest Service storage bunker about two miles south of Red Lodge, said Brad Beyersdorf, an ATF spokesman.

Items stolen included emulsion-type explosives, explosive cast boosters and detonating cord.

The old .12 gauge switcheroo.

On Saturday, 4/27/13 at or about 5:05AM, the victim was walking in the 1900 block of Burgundy when he was approached by an unknown black male. The subject pointed a shotgun at the victim’s face and stated give me your money. The victim disarmed the gunman and then chased him.

Moments later the victim was approached by two black males in a black four door sedan (possibly a Honda Accord). The driver of the vehicle said to the victim “give me my gun back and I’ll give you your phone that you dropped”.

The victim then used the shotgun to strike the rear windshield of the vehicle causing it to break. The two subjects then fled on Frenchmen to St. Claude and then unknown. The gunman was described as a black male, approximately 16-20 years of age, 6’00″ tall with a thin build wearing a black hat and a black t-shirt. Surveillance video captured the robbery on video/audio.

It was bad enough that police shot up the boat where D* T* (that’s UNIX for “I don’t want to type out all those $*&% random characters”) was hiding, but now the FBI has taken the boat from the owner.

It just doesn’t pay to report potential criminals on your property. Better to tell them to go somewhere else, if you like your stuff.  Does not the following apply?

5)  No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Boat now taken

It is looking like someone sent it using his name and M.O…. sort of a high tech swatting. If this the case, the arrest of KC was a major FBI FUBAR.

The Mississippi man charged with sending ricin-laced letters to President Obama reportedly has been released on bond, amid an apparent probe into whether he might have been framed.

Jeff Woodfin, chief deputy with the U.S. Marshals Service in Oxford, Miss., confirmed the release to the Associated Press but said he didn’t know if there were any conditions on the release.

Two sources had earlier confirmed to Fox News that the FBI was looking into the possibility that Paul Kevin Curtis might have been framed as part of a grudge against him from someone in his neighborhood. A detention hearing for Curtis that was scheduled for Tuesday has also been postponed.

The national media will deep six this treat this as a local crime story.

Two people were shot in the leg at Denver’s Civic Center during Saturday’s 4/20 pot rally and a third person was grazed by a bullet.

Bummer dude.
