Video: The worst anchor debut ever
posted at 10:05 am on April 22, 2013 by Allahpundit

In case you haven’t seen it elsewhere, an obscene beginning to a career in news — not because of the profanity but because this guy is simply terrible on camera. Good lord. Is North Dakota really this desperate for news readers?

F-bomb ahead, so don’t watch if that offends you.

And … also the shortest anchor career

Just to follow up on AP’s post of the most awesome anchor debut ever, we must sadly report that we won’t have A. J. Clemente to kick around any more: http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/kfy...profane-debut/

Last night KFYR posted on the Facebook account that Clemente had been suspended. This morning Clemente posted on his Twitter feed that he’d been fired:

A.J. Clemente @ClementeAJ

Unfortunately KFYRTV has decided to let me go. Thank you to them and everyone in ND for the opportunity and everyone for the support.

My good friend Rob Port is actually unhappy about this:

[W]hat a stupid move by KFYR. He made an honest mistake. Yeah, maybe he ticked off the prudes, but if social media is any indication he had far more people on his side than did KFYR.

Look, everyone makes mistakes, and the ones in front of live mikes are usually the most embarrassing. Still, with this kind of debut demonstrating the judgment Clemente brought to the work, it would have been difficult for the station to justify putting him back on the air over other talent they could promote.

lol OMG lol Even if he didn't f-bomb...who the hell hired him? He can't speak!

A Terrorist Bombing in Boston - TWO Explosions in Texas - an attempted terrorist attacks at a TN Nuclear Power Plant and in Canada on the railways - new information being revealed on the cover up regarding Benghazi ... and they want to ask about BO's dance skills ??

In Friendly 'Chat' With Obama, NBC's Host Asks About His Dance Skills [VIDEO] http://bit.ly/YRitfu

Dear NBC, here is a REAL question to ask the President:
When will your administration come clean on the facts surrounding four dead Americans in Benghazi??

Feds Shut Down 3D Plastic Gun Manufacturer

Federal agents are unconstitutionally putting the first 3D gun developer out of business. Defense Distributed is a Texas-based company founded by 25-year-old law school student Cody Wilson. Defense Distributed developed and produced the technology necessary to print the first fully-functional handgun capable of firing standard rounds.

Yesterday, the Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance, Enforcement Division (DTCC/END) sent Wilson a letter demanding that Defense Distributed immediately remove all of the schematics or 3D blueprints from its website.

This is a violation of Wilson’s 1st Amendment rights (free speech on the Internet), 2nd Amendment rights (self defense) and also 4th, 5th and 14th Amendment rights (due process and protection against unwarranted searches and seizures.)

The most frightening thing to consider is that the Obama administration cites International Traffic in Arms Regulations (INTAR) in this letter as a way to bypass the U.S. Constitution. Just because private property or technology is “online” does not mean that the federal government somehow has the right to confiscate it under international law or bypass the Constitution. http://www.mrconservative.com/2013/0...e-gun-at-home/

Here is an excerpt from the letter from the U.S. Department of State, which Wilson distributed to InfoWars

“DTCC/END is conducting a review of technical data made publicly available by Defense Distributed through its 3D printing website, DEFCAD.org, the majority of which appear to be related to items in Category I of the USML. Defense Distributed may have released ITAR-controlled technical data without required prior authorization from the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), a violation of the ITAR.”

“Pursuant to § 127.1 of the ITAR it is unlawful to export any defense article or technical data for which a license or written approval is required without first obtaining the required authorization from the DTCC.”

FBI statistics show that as increasing numbers of law-abiding Americans have purchased firearms, violent crimes have actually decreased. Critics of 3D printing such as Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) say that printing 3D guns should be “illegal” because someone making their gun at home could replace the metal piece Defense Distributed used in its prototype gun with a different material that would not set off a metal detector.

But criminals will always find ways to commit crime; The federal government can’t just ban technology because someone could potentially use that technology inappropriately. Freedom and progress are not risk-free and the alternative to freedom and progress is being controlled by elitists in Washington, D.C. Speak up for your constitutional rights and demand that the Obama administration rescind its ban on Defense Distributed.

Guy having a bad night runs from cops into gator's welcoming jaws
10 hrs ago

For many, a day to forget would end with a traffic stop. For 20-year-old Bryan Zuniga, this was just the beginning of a painful misadventure. He was pulled over in Pinellas Park, Fla. at 2.50 a.m. on Thursday morning for allegedly failing to maintain a single lane. Police say Zuniga then fled the scene, breaking through a vinyl fence to escape. The cops found Zuniga at a local hospital a few hours later, where he was being treated for multiple puncture wounds to the face, arm and armpit area. The poster boy for bad luck informed the police he'd been attacked by an alligator near a water treatment plant. Zuniga has since been charged by police

Feds make everyone on campus a sexual harasser
3:59 PM 05/13/2013

Last Thursday, the Departments of Justice and Education mandated a broad definition for sexual harassment on college campuses: http://thefire.org/article/15767.html “any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature” including “verbal conduct” (also known as speech or expression). DoE and DoJ regulate virtually every campus in America, public and private. So requiring universities to adopt this definition — issued in a letter to the University of Montana that DoE and DoJ are calling a “blueprint” for colleges and universities across the country — is a big deal.

I have therefore consulted my Washington-based friend A. Fake Bureaucrat, who was kind enough to prepare this helpful FAQ for Daily Caller readers.

Q: I heard that this means that asking someone out on a date can be sexual harassment. That can’t be right, can it?


A: Indeed it is, and thank goodness! As you may know, many people see “dates” as a prelude to a relationship or even sex. That’s all well and good, but sometimes, people are asked for dates by people they wouldn’t dream of going out with. That makes such requests “unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature” — in other words, sexual harassment! We should be grateful that my fellow bureaucrats at the Departments of Justice and Education with impressive, confidence-inspiring titles like “Interim Assistant Secretary” and “Deputy Chief” have finally taken steps to rid America’s campuses of the scourge of unwelcome requests for dates.

Q: It seems kind of unreasonable to call a single date request, even if it comes from someone like Booger from “Revenge of the Nerds,” sexual harassment, doesn’t it?

A: You’re missing the best part! The new rules say your feelings about the date request don’t have to be reasonable! Or, as my buddies in the government put it, “Whether conduct is objectively offensive is a factor used to determine if a hostile environment has been created, but it is not the standard to determine whether conduct was ‘unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature’ and therefore constitutes ‘sexual harassment.’” (Page 9 http://www.justice.gov/opa/documents...r-findings.pdf )

Q: So you’re saying that if I ask someone out and they don’t want to go, I have sexually harassed them?

A: Now you’re getting it! You can thank us if you want.


Q: Hold on — if any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature is harassment as long as I was offended or found it unwelcome, why do I have to put up with stuff like The Vagina Monologues or my college’s sex week? Can I report the participants?

A: Why yes, you can! No reason to let noted sexual harassers like the Duke Women’s Center off the hook.

Q: I had an argument about gay marriage with this guy down the hall from me. I think gay sex is a sin, so I’m against it. He seemed pretty mad about what I said. Am I in trouble?

A: If he reports that he was offended by your comment, you’re a harasser. Sorry!

Q: I had to read Nabokov’s Lolita for my English class. Was I harassed?

A: Were you offended?

Q: Yes, underage sex is gross.

A: Turn in your professor! Professors should know better than to assign books or movies that have sexual themes or discussions and might offend someone, like Lolita or Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl. That’s sexual harassment. Well, it is as of last Thursday, anyway.

Q: Sometimes comedians like Sarah Silverman come to my campus and tell jokes that have to do with sex. I don’t like that — can I report it as sexual harassment?

A: You sure can! Remember, all “unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature” — including speech — is harassment.

Q: So what you’re saying is that I’m now a sexual harasser, and so is basically everybody I know on campus.

A: Yeah, you guys really need to cut it out with all that harassment.

Q: It seems like it’s going to be hard to run a university with rules like this. Won’t administrators be swamped with complaints? Won’t people quit paying attention to sexual harassment once everyone is supposedly guilty of it? Won’t this scare professors away from assigning anything with a sexual theme?

A: Hey, that’s really not our problem. We just regulate universities. We don’t run them. Speaking of which, I’ve got to go … sorry, no time for more questions.
