Turkmenistan Pres Falls Off Horse After Winning Race
Turkmenistan state media silent on spill
The President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov took a rather embarrassing fall off his horse Berkarar (“The Powerful”) just after winning an annual horse race in Ashgabat last Sunday.
State media in the former Soviet satellite state have been conspicuously silent on the fall, Agence France-Presse reports:
Turkmenistan’s equestrian-mad President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov suffered a spectacular fall from his horse after a race, according to Internet videos, but state media in the isolated ex-Soviet state maintained a rigid silence on the incident.In conjunction with state media ignoring President Berdymukhamedov’s fall, Turkmen government officials have been scrambling to confiscate all footage of the mishap:
[...]
Government newspaper Neutral Turkmenistan devoted four pages to his victory, with six giant pictures of the president in national costume.
But there was no mention of the president’s potentially serious mishap in the press or on television. The race was shown on state television, but the footage cuts abruptly just after the finish.
[...] News websites close to the exiled Turkmen opposition said the incident had caused huge concern in Ashgabat, with officials scrambling to prevent more footage leaving the country.The humiliating episode was broadcasted prominently on Russian state television.
The Gundogar news site said that officials at Ashgabat’s international airport had been making intensive checks of passengers leaving the country in search of phones, tablets and cameras of footage of the incident.
It quoted sources at the interior ministry as saying several dozen people have already been arrested on suspicion of trying to smuggle out footage.
President Berdymukhamedov appoints all editors in Turkmen media and access to independent news websites is disallowed.
Turkmenistan finished “runner up” in the Committee to Protect Journalists 2012 Top 10 Most Censored Countries ranking.

Man Without Enemies
A good goal for all of us to aim for
Ya gotta love this guy!!! Meet Walter Barnes - a golfer.
 All of us should live so long as to be this kind of old man! Toward the end of the Sunday service, the Minister asked, "How many of you have forgiven your enemies?" 80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one man, Walter Barnes, who attended church only when the weather was bad. "Mr. Barnes, it's obviously not a good morning for golf. It's good to see you here today. Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?" "I don't have any," he replied gruffly. "Mr. Barnes, that is very unusual. How old are you?" "Ninety-eight," he replied. The congregation stood up and clapped their hands. "Oh, Mr. Barnes, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?" The old golfer tottered down the aisle, stopped in front of the pulpit, turned around, faced the congregation, and said simply, "I outlived all them assholes", and he calmly returned to his seat. |

Dont'cha just love Texas?

You Gotta Love Texas.
The City of Dallas, Texas passed an ordinance stating that if a driver is pulled over by law enforcement and is not able to provide proof of Insurance, the car is towed.
To retrieve the car after being impounded, they must show proof of insurance to have the car released. This has made it easy for the City of Dallas to remove uninsured cars.
Shortly after the "No Insurance" ordinance was passed, the Dallas impound lots began to fill up and were full after only nine days. Over 80 % of the impounded cars were driven by illegals.
Now, not only must they provide proof of insurance to have their car released, they have to pay for the cost of the tow, a $350 fine, and $20 for every day their car is kept in the lot.
Guess what? Accident rates have gone down 47% and. Dallas ' solution gets uninsured drivers off the road WITHOUT making them show proof of nationality.
I wonder how the Justice Department will get around this one. (failure to provide due process?)
Just brings tears to your eyes doesn't it?
GO Dallas!

New Law Allows Dallas Police To Tow and Impound Uninsured Cars-Truth!
|
|
Summary of the eRumor:
This is a forwarded email that says the city of Dallas, Texas has passed a law that allows the city to tow and impound vehicles that are pulled over for a routine traffic stop if the drivers can not provide proof of automobile insurance. |
|
The Truth:
The law is real but not that new. The City of Dallas, in the Lone Star State, has been towing and impounding vehicles since January 1, 2009 according to their City Hall Web Site.
Ordinance 27189 was
passed by the Dallas City Council on May 28, 2008 in "response to the
large number of people driving in the City of Dallas without the proper state
required auto insurance." After January 1, 2009 the law
granted authority to the police officers to tow and impound vehicles
that they stop for any alleged violation of city or state law if the owner or
operator of the vehicle failed to provide evidence of financial
responsibility as required by the Texas Transportation Code.

Wild Turkey and Coca-Cola!

Wild Turkey and Coca-Cola On A Monday Morning
I had to go to Harrisburg this morning and saw this Coca-Cola truck sitting on the side of the road.
When I got close to it I could see what was wrong and turned around to go make sure the driver was OK;
He was fine. I told him he should get a medal for keeping the truck in the road and not having a major accident. You will see why in one of the pictures below. I guess he wanted a little Wild Turkey with his Coca-Cola this morning
