The mobile meth drone isn’t so mobile anymore.

No matter how secure the border, there’s always a way around it.  When it comes to the US/Mexico border, not the world’s most secure crossing, there are many ways to circumvent it when you want to sneak contraband from one country to the next.  Be it people or drugs, there’s always a way to get into the United States if you really want to, and people really want to get drugs across the border.  As it turns out, drones just might be the answer.  Far more than just mobile mistletoe platforms, drones are increasingly being used to deliver things, but the delivery isn’t perfect.  A drone carrying six pounds of methamphetamine crashed in the parking lot of a Tijuana grocery store, not far from the San Ysidro border crossing into California.

The drone was a six engine model being controlled by remote control.  Apparently, the six packets of meth must have interfered with the flying capabilities, or the person controlling the drone just made a mistake.  Either way, the drone and its white stimulant cargo came to a crashing halt well before its final destination of… well, anywhere in the United States, I guess.  Tijuana police say that drug runners are increasingly turning to drones, rather than more expensive methods like submarines or drug tunnels, to move their product.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
