Well, I guess even the president’s family likes their alcohol every now and again. Apparently one of them even likes to get into a car and drive while intoxicated. A story coming out of Framingham, MA is saying that President Obama’s uncle has been pulled over and arrested for driving under the influence.
Onyango Obama was arrested last week in Framingham after police said he made a rolling stop and nearly caused a cruiser to strike his SUV. Let’s be clear here, the story is just stupid, and in no way does this really put a bad spin on the president himself, other than the fact that he has some embarrassing family members, but who doesn’t have embarrassing family members.
The real kicker here is that police are still holding him because of a deportation situation. It seems the President’s uncle won the right to stay in the United States after such a deportation order. However, the president’s uncle is originally from Kenya and is being held without bail on a detainer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This could be a developing and interesting story as it unfolds.
When Obama was asked who he wanted to call as his one allotted call he responded by saying, “I think I will call the White House.” I am thinking that having that available phone call in your back pocket is quite a wild card.

NBC’s Twitter Account Hacked by Script Kiddies
A group calling themselves the Script Kiddies hacked NBC’s Twitter account earlier today and posted illegal and false tweets claiming that there was an attack underway at Ground Zero in New York. The news coming from The Guardian is saying that the prank was pulled off by a group calling themselves the ‘script kiddies’ and was greeted with widespread opprobrium from other twitter users.
Below are some of the tasteless tweets that the “script-kiddies posted via the hacked NBC account.
“Breaking News! Ground Zero has just been attacked. Flight 5736 has crashed into the site, suspected hijacking. More as the story develops,” the hackers wrote in one of the fake tweets sent out from the NBC account.
They added: “Flight 4782 is not responding, suspected hijacking. One plane just hit Ground Zero site at 5:47. #groundzeroattacked.
“This is not a joke, Ground Zero has just been attacked. We’re attempting to get reporters on the scene #groundzeroattacked.”
The group claimed responsibility by tweeting on the hacked account: “NBCNEWS hacked by The Script Kiddies. Follow them at @s_kiddies!”
This is just tasteless. The group is thought to be British, though that is still unconfirmed. It is believed that they gained password info using malware and other virus code to steal the NBC news twitter account password.
I gotta say, people really need to find better stuff to do with their time.

Cop Caught Having Sex on Car is Fired
A recent story broke a couple of days ago regarding a cop in New Mexico who had been caught on a surveillance video having sex on the hood of his car with some random brunette.
While I try to keep cops and law enforcement off this blog out of respect, there are just some things that I won’t let go because of the sheer stupidity or wrongfulness of the act. This is one of those.
It seems now that the officer has indeed been fired by the New Mexico State Police Department over the video. Officer Bert Lopez was initially suspended with pay, and just recently it was determined that the best move was to let him go, as it was stated he violated the officer code of conduct with his actions.
What is the funniest part of this story? The main witness to the act, besides the camera, was a little chihuahua that looked on while Officer Lopez and the unnamed brunette performed.

Man Sues White Castle for Having Small Booths
A man from New York is suing White Castle, claiming that their booths at one of their Long Island restaurants is too small.
Martin Kessman says in the federal lawsuit filed last week that he was embarrassed in 2009 when he tried squeezing his 6-foot, 290-pound frame into the seating at a White Castle in Nanuet. He says he slammed his knee into a metal post under the table and was in pain.
The lawsuit claims the restaurant could not accommodate a customer of Kessman’s stature, in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. The suit seeks an unspecified financial judgment.
Spokesman Jamie Richardson at White Castle headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, says the restaurant is being replaced and that the new one will have roomier seating.
Is this a fair lawsuit? Probably not, but it is definitely a funny one. If we could always sue out of embarrassment there would be a lot more lawsuits in the world.
