Rep. Steve Pearce To Furloughed Workers: Take Out A Loan To Pay Your Bills
From Huffington Post:
Rep. Steve Pearce (R-N.M.) has a suggestion for any of the hundreds of thousands of furloughed government workers worried about being able to pay their bills: take out a loan!
In a post on his personal Facebook page that was later deleted, Pearce urged government workers to call their banks and take out a short-term loan if money is tight.
“If you are a furloughed government employee, we encourage you to reach out to your financial institution as soon as you worry you may miss a paycheck,” read the post. “Don’t wait until you are behind on a bill; call now and explore your options.”
ProgressNow New Mexico, a nonprofit group that advocates progressive principles in the state, circulated a screenshot of Pearce’s Facebook post on Friday, before it was taken down.
Men In New York Charging People To Look At Banksy Art On The Street
The below article reports it as $5, but updates are now reporting that the men are charging $20. From Gawker:
A group of men has begun charging $5 apiece for photos of the new Banksy piece in East New York today, according to the Instagram account streetartjamz. This development is the most compelling thing about Banksy’s latest work, which before had just been a stencil painting of a beaver gnawing on a felled parking sign.
These men, heroes that they are, have elevated the original work, turning it into a performance piece about the commodification and hipster-fication of people’s homes. If you’re going to treat a neighborhood like an art museum, why shouldn’t the residents of that neighborhood charge admission like an art museum, particularly when many New Yorkers would never come to that patch of the city but to take a picture of a stencil painting of a beaver?

Ben Carson On Obamacare: “Worst Thing To Happen To The U.S. Since Slavery”
From the Washington Times:
Dr. Ben Carson didn’t mince words: Obamacare is “the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery.”
Dr. Carson made the declaration about President Obama’s sweeping health care mandate Friday during a speech at the Values Voter Summit.
“It is slavery because it aims to make all of us subservient to the government,” he said. “It was never about health care. It was about control.”
Dr. Carson further compared the new health care reform to policies envisioned by Vladimir Lenin, one of the fathers of socialism and communism.
“Socialized medicine is the keystone in the establishment of a socialist state,” Dr. Carson told the audience of some 2,000 supporters of traditional values.
Such a comment may seem paranoid to some, he said, “but I would say if you know anything about history, how could you not bring it up?”
When people in the executive and legislative branch don’t have to participate, but everybody else has to, “that’s not America, that’s Russia,” he added.
Soldier Charged With Sex Offences Against 11 Females
From BBC:
A serving UK soldier has been charged with sex offences – including two counts of rape – against 11 females, the Metropolitan Police has said.
Edwin Robert Mee, 44, of Croydon, south London was charged on Thursday.
The Army sergeant faces two counts of rape, and 17 other sexual offences. The attacks allegedly took place at Army bases in Croydon and Cheam, Surrey, on two occasions in 2011.
His alleged victims were aged between 15 and 25 at the time of the assaults.
Sgt Mee is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 24 October.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said: “Any individual who is found to have fallen short of the Services’ high standards will be dealt with administratively or through the military discipline process, as appropriate.”
Obama & Boehner Apparently Agree That Both Sides Should “Keep Talking”
Yea….instead of actually running the process to actually end the government shutdown that’s currently in effect, the Democrats and Republicans, headed by their current leaders, should “keep talking”. From CNN, where you can read a lot more of nothing:
President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner agreed in a phone call Friday that talks should continue on ending the partial government shutdown and avoiding a possible default, spokesmen for the two leaders said.
However, Obama “has some concerns” with the latest House GOP proposal considered an opening gambit in the budget brinksmanship, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters.
A day of talks at the White House and in Congress produced various ideas for elements of an agreement, including changes to Obama’s signature health care reforms and a way to raise revenue to prevent forced cuts in government spending.
But there was little tangible progress toward an immediate breakthrough acceptable to the President, the GOP-led House and the Democratic-led Senate.
Carney and Boehner spokesman Michael Steel issued identical statements that the two leaders spoke by phone and called for talks to continue among all parties.

UPDATE: Adrian Peterson’s 2-Year Old Son Dead From Injuries
UPDATE: The alleged killer and boyfriend to the mother of Peterson’s now-deceased 2-year-old, Joseph Robert Patterson, is now charged with two felonies: aggravated battery of an infant and aggravated assault. After the death, South Dakota State’s Attorney Thomas Wollman told the Daily News that his office will be “looking at additional charges” now that the child has died.
Patterson is currently being held in Minnehaha County Jail. Bond was set at $750,000 cash during a hearing on Friday morning. He is next scheduled to appear in court October 23rd, but Wollman expects a grand jury to return an indictment before then.
You can read more on the update here. Above are pictures of the incarcerated Patterson.
****************************************
Damn. From TMZ:
Adrian Peterson’s 2-year-old son has died … cops have confirmed.
Cops believe Peterson’s son was severely beaten by 27-year-old Joseph Patterson, the man who was dating the mother of the NFL star’s child.
As we reported, the mother of the child has decided to donate the child’s organs to people in need.
The boy was on life support since 5:30 PM Thursday … but his condition never improved … so family members made the decision to take the child off the ventilator.
Sources tell TMZ .. Adrian was informed about the situation before the news went public.
We’re told Peterson will be planning the funeral with other members of the boy’s family.
Patterson was initially arrested in Sioux Falls, South Dakota for assault and battery of an infant — and now, it’s almost certain the charges will be elevated to murder.
The details surrounding the beating are unclear — but cops say medical responders were called to the apartment where the child was living on Wednesday evening … and he was unresponsive when help arrived.
