So the responsible parties decided, today, everyone gets donuts, they decided to do it today, when almost my entire division, including me, is out of the office. Thanks!!!

Well, that's just unfair! They should do donut day another time just for you.

They *murdered* two people who found out about the plot!

Yeah, these guys were pretty serious, although quite young--the leader is only 21 or so. I can't believe the reporting has been so minimal.

WHUT.

From the Atlantic Wire:

The bizarre story began unfurling on Monday after Pfc. Michael Burnett, dressed in his Army uniform, testified in a southeast Georgia court against his fellow militia members. Prosecutors accused the group F.E.A.R. (Forever Enduring Always Ready) of buying $87,000 worth of assault rifles, bomb materials, and semiautomatic weapons in a plot to bomb a park in nearby Savannah, poison apple orchards in Washington state and blow up a dam with the ultimate goal of overthrowing the government and killing Barack Obama. The group also stands accused of murdering former U.S. soldier Michael Roark and his girlfriend Tiffany York after they learned of the group's plans. In a plea bargain, Burnett plead guilty to manslaughter and illegal gang activity on Monday in connection with Roark and York's murder.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Who would have thought a bunch of people would be out the Thursday before Labor Day?! Also my agency is self-funding and donuts were donated so your tax dollars are safe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, great. I can safely be irate at their mistreating you.

This is, unfortunately, not the first time I lost my shit over the canned food drive. I was really not made for charitable endeavor.

Somebody give bon a donut before she goes on a one-armed rampage.

The AJC is the place for coverage of the soldier-terrorist group story. Here's the most recent, but they have a bunch of stories. (The soldiers are based in GA.) [link]

I saw a bit about the plot in the local news because at least one of the was arrested here in Washington or something? Bought some guns here? I forget.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I am stuck in the Denver airport and the goddamn wifi isn't working. I'm more pissed about that than the plane.
