Barker's Newsbites: Monday, April 1 , 2013
It's not just women who get weary...
I'm weary.
I've been weary since that terrible, awful moment on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 when it was announced across the airwaves that a majority of American voters had re-elected Barack Hussein Obama to a second term.
Newsbiting has just seemed so... meaningless... since then.
Still... I persevere.

A judge accepted the California city of Stockton's bankruptcy application on Monday, making it the most populous city in the nation to enter bankruptcy.

[D]ozens of mob groups began attacking pedestrians on Chicago’s downtown Magnificent Mile area on Saturday night.
* "MOB" GROUPS...? LIKE... er... "THE MOB?" (DOZENS OF GROUPS OF ITALIANS...???)
(*SMIRK*)
Police responded to reports of disturbances near Michigan and Chicago Avenues.
* AH... "DISTURBANCES..."
(*SNORT*)
“You have over three to four hundred teenagers with mob action, jumping on individuals that are downtown,” said community activist Andrew Holmes.
* THREE... OR... FOUR... HUNDRED...
* ON DOWNTOWN CHICAGO'S MAGNIFICIENT MILE...
* ON A SATURDAY NIGHT...
* (HUNDREDS OF ITALIANS TEENAGERS... YOUNG MAFIOSOS...???) (*SNICKER*)
It is not clear if the attacks are related to a similar mobbing of Ford City Mall last month.
* I FORGET... DID I NEWBITE THAT ONE...???
Residents were concerned that this could be the first in a long line of attacks after warm weather brought on a string of similar instances last year.
* BLACKITY-BLACK, BLACK, BLACK, BLACK... (RIGHT BUDDY?!) (*SNORT*)
Police said 28 teens were arrested during the incident and no serious injuries were reported.
* ITALIANS...??? MAINLY ITALIANS...? OH... WAIT... THERE'S ALSO THE IRISH MOB... THE RUSSIAN MOB...
(*SNICKER*)
The teens charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct and battery and later released, according to News Affairs Officer Perkus.
* MISDEMEANOR "RECKLESS CONDUCT" AND BATTERY... AND LATER RELEASED.
(*SNORT*) (*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)
Eleven other teens were charged with the same misdemeanor charges after they attacked a group of women on the CTA Red Line, police said.

An Afghan teenager fatally stabbed an American soldier in the neck as he played with children in eastern Afghanistan, officials said Monday, as the U.S. death toll rose sharply last month with an uptick in fighting...
* BLOOD AND TREASURE... BLOOD AND TREASURE...
* SUPPORT THE TROOPS BY BRINGING THEM HOME... BY NOT USING THEM (UP) AS POLITICAL PAWNS.
[T]he American death toll climbed to at least 14 last month.
* WITH ONE AMERICAN KILLED IN FEBRUARY...
The attack that killed Sgt. Michael Cable, 26, of Philpot, Ky., last Wednesday occurred after the soldiers had secured an area for a meeting of U.S. and Afghan officials in a province near the volatile border with Pakistan.
* OBVIOUSLY "SECURED" HAS LITTLE CONTEXUAL MEANING...
(*SIGH*)
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said the attacker was thought to be about 16 years old. He escaped so his age couldn't be verified.
* HE ESCAPED...?!?! HE FUCKING ESCAPED...?!?!
(*BLOOD PRESSURE SHOOTING THROUGH THE ROOF*)

Were California's state government a business, it would be a candidate for insolvency with a negative net worth of $127.2 billion, according to an annual financial report issued by State Auditor Elaine Howle and the Bureau of State Audits. The report, which covers the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, says that the state's negative status - all of its assets minus all of its liabilities - increased that year, largely because it spent more than it received in revenue.
* FOLKS... UNDERSTAND... WHEN YOU HEAR ABOUT HOW STATES MUST HAVE BALANCED BUDGETS, WHAT YOU'RE USUALLY NOT GONNA HEAR IS HOW THEY BALANCE THEIR BUDGETS - OFTEN BY BORROWING AND ACCRUING DEBT PAYABLE BY FUTURE CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS.
During the 2011-12 fiscal year, the state's general fund spent $1.7 billion more than it received in revenues...
* CALIFORNIA IS A STATE CONTROLLED AND RUN BY DEMOCRATS. (*SHRUG*) WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
About half of the $127.2 billion in accumulated red ink came from the state's issuing general obligation bonds...
* AS I WAS SAYING UP ABOVE... "DEBT."
...and then giving the money to local governments and school districts for public works projects, the auditor pointed out. The assets built with the bonds remain on local balance sheets while the bonded debt accrues to the state.
* INSANITY. CORRUPTION. IT'S ALL ABOUT BUYING VOTES AND BUILDING COALITIONS ACROSS GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARIES IN ORDER TO WIN ELECTIONS AND THEN LEAVE THE BILLS TO THE PRESENT AND FUTURE TAXPAYERS OF THE ENTIRE STATE.
The report listed the state's long-term obligations at $167.9 billion, nearly half of which ($79.9 billion) were in general obligation bonds, with another $30.8 billion in revenue bonds, many of which were issued to build state prisons, whose "revenue" is lease payments from the state general fund.
* FOLKS... YA CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP!
The list of long-term obligations did not include the much-disputed unfunded liabilities for state employees' future pensions, nor the $60-plus billion in unfunded liabilities for retiree health care. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board and Moody's, a major bond credit rating house, have been pushing states and localities to include unfunded retiree obligations in their balance sheets and were they to be added to California's, it could push its negative net worth down by several hundred billion dollars.
* BY... SEVERAL... HUNDRED... BILLION... DOLLARS...
* FOLKS... I'M WEARY.
