Like the typical, non-thinking, most likely illiterate criminal he was, Eric DeShawn Floyd was found hiding in a dilapidated, boarded-up house in Southwest Philadelphia, hiding like a trapped rat. At the time the police were tipped off to his location, Eric DeShawn Floyd was sound asleep on the floor of the vacant house with his girlfriend, who was also arrested, for aiding a fugitive. Her name has not yet been released by police, but both will be facing a long laundry list of charges.

Philadelphia’s new mayor, Michael Nutter, was at the Philadelphia Police Headquarters, affectionately known as the “Roundhouse” by older Philadelphians, and greeted Floyd when he arrived there late last night. According is quoted in an article in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer as saying:

“I looked him dead in the eye when he came in,” he said. “I told him how disappointed I was in him. He will face prosecution and of course pay a price for what he did.”

Like cowardly bandits from the days of the Wild West, Eric DeShawn Floyd, unarmed, hiding, and on-the-run, sought refuge in a building that was boarded up, staying in a second floor bedroom. It’s a glorious thing when the Philadelphia Police are able to continue the tradition of nabbing cop killers before the deceased officer’s funeral, and a great slap in the face for the cop killers when they are handcuffed using the cuffs belonging to the police officer that was killed.

In other good news relating to the scumbags who killed Sgt. Liczbinski, it was reported in the Philadelphia Daily News that the dead member of the cop-killing trio, Howard Cain, will not be afforded a Muslim burial at the Philadelphia’s Germantown Masjid.

“No, we will not bury him at Germantown Masjid,” said Tariq El Shabazz, managing director of the mosque. “We don’t want one slight scintilla hinting that we condone his behavior.”

Another suspect, local heavyweight boxer Levon Warner, was arrested in Philadelphia this past Sunday.

FT. BRAGG, NC (7th Special Forces Group Public Affairs Office) — A 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) soldier was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross during a valorous award presentation ceremony on April 30 at Fort Bragg, N.C.

The ceremony was held to recognized Master Sgt. Brendan O’Connor, who was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for valorous actions during an engagement with a numerically superior enemy force in Afghanistan in 2006.

The Distinguished Service Cross is the Army’s second highest award for combat valor. It’s awarded for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States during military operations, and this was the second Distinguished Service Cross awarded for actions in Afghanistan since the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Admiral Eric T. Olson, commander of United States Special Operations Command and Lt. Gen. Robert W. Wagner, Commanding General of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, presided over the ceremony and presented the awards.

A lady I know took a few days off work for personal stuff, such as her annual checkups. For guys, it’s pretty much a one-shot deal: bend-and-reach. Turn your head to the side and cough. Say ahhhh. Okay, you’re going to feel a little poke and pressure … whoa, doc! For women, though, it’s a little more complicated, I’m told. There’s the regular doctor, the “lower end” doctor, the “top end” doctor, and then some techs to help all the doctors, and possibly others, too, I guess, for people, and in this case, women, with other health conditions.

Anyway, this woman is off getting her annual mammogram. For that act alone, she gets her two brownie points, an ice cream cone, and a high five for doing the pancake shuffle in the radiology department of the local hospital in the name of preserving life and breasts.

While getting her mammogram, the technician explained that all the women now get to feel like strippers, whether they want to or not. The woman said, “Excuse me?”

“Oh, yeah. Didn’t the doctor tell you? They’ve changed the way we do a mammogram,” the X-ray technician explained. “We place a pasty over each nipple before the mammogram. That way there’s a clear point of reference for the radiologist. Sometimes nipples are tucked under a breast; sometimes they are up really high, especially on gals who have implants; and sometimes, well, they just hang there, mostly due to gravity. Just so the radiologist knows where all the essential anatomical points of reference are at, we have started using pasties.”

After a laugh, the tech placed the left pasty, did the mammogram, then came back, get everything set up for the mammogram on the woman’s right breast, went back to her safe zone, then started laughing and scurried back over to the mammography machine.

“Oops! I forgot to put this pasty on! This is our first full week of using the pasties,” the tech explained. “I wake up with nightmares that I’ll forget to take one off of a 90-year-old nun one day and she’ll end up in the E.R. and they’ll find her with pasties and wonder what’s going on in the convent!”

So, tell that special lady in your life to go get her pasties. No, she doesn’t get to keep them, but if you really want a set for home, order them online.

Here in Philadelphia, as the two early night time local news shows were coming on at 10 p.m., on Fox 29 and well, you might as well call it the “practice run” for NBC 10, since they produce the news and do all the reporting for “the other 10 p.m. news”, it was evident Barack Obama was getting wiped off the ballot in Pennsylvania. He probably knew it early on, too, as he opted to head to Indiana for the day, instead of waiting here, in Pennsylvania, which is what the candidates traditionally do during the primaries.

Much like the Iraqi troops that were supposedly working with American troops in Sadr City, Iraqi six days before, on April 16, 2008, Barack Obama took the Iraqi troops’ lead and fled the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He made a speech to the people of Pennsylvania, about the people of Pennsylvania, from the middle of Indiana. Basically, he fled Pennsylvania, just like the Iraqi troops fled from the scene of a battle with insurgents, despite being implored by American troops to hold their positions.

New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton stayed the night in Philadelphia. She went to speak to her supporters around 10:10 p.m., and the speech was carried live on local news outlets. She was welcomed by Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell and Philadelphia Mayor Michael (”Mike”) Nutter.

Barack Obama’s speech was carried live, as well, albeit from Indiana. That closeness at the close of election day, in one of the primaries Obama himself called a “deal breaker,” just gave an ice-cold feeling of distaste running through the veins.

Yes, rather than stay in Pennsylvania and wait for the election results, especially since he was so “committed” to the residents of Pennsylvania, as he said many times during his recent campaign stomps, his true colors were shining brightly last night: he’s a coward. He couldn’t face the inevitable defeat head-on, so he took off and went to Indiana, where he had people cheering him on. For now.

Maybe the voters of Indiana and the rest of the states due to have their presidential primary elections in the next several weeks will see Barack Obama’s true colors before it’s their turn to vote. His actions last night demonstrated he isn’t a leader. He’s a coward, especially when it comes to negative election returns.

Barack Obama’s actions last night spoke louder than words. In fact, the actions resonate a message of how loyal he is to his word, but also about the kind of president he’d make. Is this the kind of president Americans want or need in the White House? Not a chance.
