A fire at a California home care facility for the disabled has killed four adults and left two others hospitalized, authorities said Sunday. The fire was reported at about 11:45p.m. Saturday in Marina, a small coastal community in Monterey County, about 100 miles south of San Francisco. Apparently, the four adults had their left wheelchair brake on, so they kept rolling in small circles to the left.
Forty-five Chinese coal miners trapped by a cave-in were rescued Saturday. Eight miners were killed in the cave-in at the mine in the city of Samenxia in Henan province, in Central China. Seven miners were rescued Friday. China's coal mines are the deadliest in the world. It is reported that the miners were secretly trying to see if they dug straight down that they would end up in the United States. Their attempt was unsuccessful.
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou will meet Monday with the leader of the country's main opposition party to discuss who will become the nation's next prime minister. The meeting comes a day after President Karolos Papoulias announced that Papandreou will step down amid the country's financial crisis -- as long as a controversial 130 billion euro bailout deal is approved. If the deal is not approved Greece will reportedly have a gyro & kabob sale. We have been sent a copy of their menu:
One lamb gyro -$120 million.
Two lamb gyro's-$230 million.
One kabob & gyro platter-$500 million. *Served with rice for an additional $6 million

A Taliban suicide bomber rammed a vehicle loaded with explosives into an armored NATO bus Saturday on a busy thoroughfare in Kabul, killing 17 people, including a dozen Americans, in the deadliest strike against the U.S.-led coalition in the Afghan capital since the war began.

Presidential candidate, Herman Cain is having his past come back to haunt him. Sexual harassment claims from two women dating back from the late 90's have resurfaced during the height of his push for the Republican nomination. He was quoted saying, "I have never ever sexually harassed anyone." A source who spoke on the condition of anonymity told us here at WSCB that he later told them, "I didn't lie because I never sexually harassed them b*tches. I f*cked the sh*t out of them is what I did."
A drunken and naked driver damaged 12 cars in central Moscow on Sunday. The city police said they started pursuing the man after he ignored a road sign banning a turn and refused orders to stop. In the ensuing chase, the motorist nearly hit a school bus, rammed through a police vehicle and smashed several other cars before being caught. There's no need for a punch line due to this being an actual story committed by an actual dumb ass.

A Few Things
Who likes that Chef Boyardee shit?? Well I shouldn't say "shit" because I definitely bang with the ravoli!! Buuuut, ravoli is a legit dish from the motherland. Italy that is. I know soooomebody scratched their head like, "Ravoli comes from Africa?! I bet it's Kenya, they have good food from what I hear!!" Yes, if you were the head scratcher just stop reading now. Oh, you're still here? Just going to be disrespectful huh? That's cool, that's cool. Hmph. ADHDNESSNESS!! Ha!! I said it before y'all could!! Daaaaah! Run tell it!! Run tell iiiiiit! Oh yea, where were we? Yes, I said "we" because you're reading it so we're in it together. Yea who eats Beefaroni? Chef Boyardee has that shit, but that can't be a dish from the motherland. Italy remember, not Africa. If you took a vacay in Italy and you sat down at a small little restaurant and ordered that shit, a chef might fuck you up! Come out the kitchen with an apron on and a butcher knife in hand trying to slice & dice your ass!! Shit, Olive Garden people might give you work. Either that or they have some fancy ass name for it that throw you off. You're looking at the menu like, "Oooooh that sounds tasty!!" Server comes out with your shit, and you got the long division in your head face like, "Motherfucker this is beefaroni!!!" Server-"Would you like me to take it back?" You-"Umm naw, it's ok." Soon as they walk away, you're like, "Maaaaan!! Beefaroni is my shiiiiit!!! I need some hot sauce!!"
Nope, no segue. I'm on segue strike. Just going to stop and go. Not going to force it on myself like a fat person eating that last piece of sausage. No homo. **THUNDER ROLL**..€€€¥¥¥££££..**LIGHTNING CRASHES** It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Wayman Archibald IV!! "Heeeeey there boy!!" AAAAAHHHHH!! It's Wayman!! Lock your ass and RUUUUUNNNN!!! Speaking of running, wait, did I just, naw, shit yea I think I did, but just naw, well whatever. Running, exercise whatever, I just want to inform those who are husky, buffalo back, chunky, nutritional overachiever or whatever you use to make ya fat ass feel good. When you start losing weight at a rapid pace because you've become serious about your diet & workout plan, people will tell you that you look good, buuuut when you leave, niggas don't think you're getting in shape. "Damn are they sick? Maybe they have cancer. They've been doing a lot of those 'Find a Cure,' 5K races, so maybe since they're sick they want to help find some shit out before they die. Maybe they got the die-a-bee-tees!!"
**ROMEO-ALPHA-NOVEMBER-DELTA-OSCAR-MIKE-NESSNESS** You ever been in traffic so long you make friends or enemies but they don't know it. The shit they do can make or break that bond you may develop along your course, your path, your destination, your detour your your ok yea I ran out of shit to use. Anywaaaaaay, they can do the dumb shit like random braking while they're nowhere near the car in front of them. You're in the car like, "That motherfucker keeps braking!! I bet they're on the phone! I bet they're on that fucking phone!! Get a blue tooth naaagga!!!" I just hate when they change lanes like 13 times in a 2 mile stretch. Motherfatherness, we're in traffic and we're going like 15mph, where are you going?! It could be like 5 miles you're like I HATE that son of a baaatch!! Or if you had a good time with them, but that's usually when you are moving. It's weird because you remember something about their vehicles. Color, dents, nicknames you gave them or by their tags. Be in the car talking some, "KBR119 yo!!! That's my partner right there!! Let's go!!!" Then you could see the non-blue tooth haver, "Man, random braking ass yo!!!!!" It's funny though when you see someone with dents and shit that's a traffic fuck up because you turn into one of your parents. "Yea, I see why your ass has all them damn dents. Non driving ass."

Aisha Gadhafi, daughter of Moammar Gadhafi, gave an audio address on Friday about the former Libyan strong man who went into hiding after Tripoli fell last month. She had this to say, "I assure you, he is fine, a believer in God, in good spirits, is carrying his gun and is fighting side by side with the warriors." Moammar Gadhafi was spotted in a Taco Bell located in Arlington, Texas this past Sunday.
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, considered a reformer by the standards of his ultraconservative kingdom, decreed on Sunday that women will, for the first time, have the right to vote and run in local elections due in 2015. Feminist reformers are still fighting for other rights such as driving and traveling. Traveling could possibly be granted but driving will most likely not be allowed due to the fact that women can not perform fellatio while driving.
Endurance athlete Diana Nyad ended her swimming ultramarathon from Cuba to Florida on Sunday after medics warned another painful sting from a Portuguese Man o' War could be life-threatening, Nyad team members said.

Bill Gates tops Forbes' list of the 400 richest Americans for the 18th year in a row. The magazine said Wednesday that the Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist's wealth amounts $59 billion, ranking him ahead of all the other billionaires who make up this year's list. Upon the announcement Bill Gates' twitter was updated immediately saying this, "@BillionDollarBill_Gate$: Forbes' Richest, I did it on 'em...again. #flexin"
Yemeni forces on Wednesday fired mortars at tens of thousands of mourners at funerals held for slain protesters and attacked an opposition base, killing at least 16 people and shattering a cease-fire negotiated a day earlier to end the nation's latest bout of violence. Despite the extra lose of lives some families found peace of mind knowing that they could bury another family member at the same time to cut costs. One grave, one coffin but two people.
Troy Davis, who was convicted of killing off-duty police officer Mark MacPhail in 1989, was executed by the state of Georgia on 21 September 2011. His execution was scheduled for 7pm EST, but did not actually happen until 11:08pm EST. When a judge was asked if the delay was some part of a possible appeal on his behalf, he had this to say, "Oh, it was nothing like that at all. For those who were not exactly sure of what 'CP time' was, we were helping to make that abundantly clear." For those who are not exactly sure, "CP" time which stands for "colored people," refers to the fact that African Americans are typically known for being late to things.

An 11th person has died from injuries suffered in a plane crash that marked the nation's deadliest air racing disaster, Reno police said Tuesday. Police spokeswoman Michele Anderson said the victim had not been identified. All races are supposedly going to be banned. All air performances will be done by paper planes. Eye protection is required.
Seven scientists and experts went on trial on manslaughter charges Tuesday for allegedly failing to sufficiently warn residents before a 2009 earthquake that killed more than 300 people in central Italy. The case is being closely watched by seismologists, who insist it's impossible to predict earthquakes. The scientists and experts claim when they left Post It notes on their computer monitors before they and their families fled the area, that it would be sufficient enough notice.
$16, was the cost of each muffin bought by the Justice Department for a 2009 conference, according to an internal audit, which said many purchases showed "wasteful or extravagant spending," including the $4,200 for 250 muffins. WSCB is holding a bake sale outside of Capitol Hill Thursday, September 22nd. Cupcakes & muffins will be $15.95 and supplies are limited.

Ladies, ladies, laaaaadies. *waves* Chello come in, sit down and shut the hell up. Yea, I said it!! What you want to fight me now?! Let your next move be your best move sister soldier!! Daniel wasn't the only one Mr. Miyagi trained!! KIIIIIAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Yea, like I was saying before the shorty in the front row, yes you don't turn around, interrupted our intelligentness convo. Wait, are y'all going to blame the ADHDNESSNESS on that mishap?! I get no love!! Anyway LADIES, not front row yo, I need y'all to stop asking dudes if they can cook. That convo goes no where because if he says, "yes" you're going to say, "No you can't!," -OR- "Ok, what can you make?" If he says spaghetti, just look at your phone and say you got to go, because you're just going to shit on him. If you want to know, tell dude you like to cook, and if he likes slanging pots & pans he'll tell you. "Oh really?! Me too!! I saw this recipe that called for spinach and sausage!! I loooove sausage!! No homo." **THUNDER ROLL**..€€€¥¥¥££££..**LIGHTNING CRASHES** It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Wayman Archibald IV!! "Heeeeey there boy!!" AAAAAHHHHH!!

Unsmooth moment, I just passed gas and the FeBreeze turned into FeBitch!! How does the spray come out of the can, and go right back in once it got a whiff?! See that's that bullshit because I had to suffer alone!! What? No I'm not crying!! The gasnessness made my eyes water damn it!! Ok, maybe there was some ADHDNESSNESS in there. Just a sprinkle though. Anyway, has anyone ever had a dream that makes you late? Like that dream that seems like you hit the snooze button, then got up to start getting ready for your day after the alarm goes off again?? So, it was just me? It's happened to me a few times, so it can happen to maybe at least 6 or 4 of y'all? Hmph.

"Naw, fuck the reason for that dumb ass s/n, how did you put on 123lbs?!" Breaking in the zoo and eating bears or something. To make a long story, short, which I didn't do, I wanted to pipe her back in the day and never said anything. And naturally what did she tell me?!?

Armed men from Congo burst into a pub in the tiny African nation of Burundi and killed 36 people, an official said Monday. Burundi, still reeling from a civil war that killed more than 250,000 people, is awash in weapons, but attacks like the one Sunday night are rare. The armed men were believed to be angry over threats involving a large bar tab.
Union leaders said Monday they reached a tentative deal with some of Southern California's largest grocery chains that would head off the threat of a strike by more than 60,000 workers. The deal, which must be approved by the union's membership, protects workers' health policies, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 324 president Fred Conger said. "We were successful in bargaining an agreement that grocery workers can be proud of," Conger said. If a deal cannot be reached they will bring in 5,000 Mexicans to replace the 60,000 striking workers to do double the work for half the price.
When Wendy's decided to remake it's 42-year old-hamburger, the chain agonized over every detail. Project Gold Hamburger took more than two years, and on Monday the chain rolled out Dave's Hot 'N Juicy. The burger features extra cheese, a thicker beef patty, a buttered bun, red onions and crinkled pickles. It will also cause a heart attack in two thirds the amount of time it usually takes to cause one. That's what we here at WSCB call "fast food."

One of President Obama's proposals for reducing deficits is the "Buffett Rule," named for billionaire investor Warren Buffett. It would set a minimum tax rate for taxpayers earning more than $1 million. Buffett has complained that he and other wealthy people have been "coddled long enough" and shouldn't be paying a smaller share of their income in federal taxes than middle-class taxpayers. The GOP has pledged to oppose any tax increases. There are rumors going around Capital Hill that the GOP and a few millionaires were quoted saying, "When see Buffett we're f*cking him up on the spot!! He's messing with the wrong people's money!!"
The United Nations on Sunday appealed for $357 million to help millions of Pakistanis affected by monsoon flooding. The floods have damaged or destroyed about 665,000 homes, displaced more than 1.8 million people and destroyed millions of acres of crops. A rep from the United Nations offered to use his connections with Wal-Mart and only spend $3.6 million. He knows so many people were already displaced by a monsoon so he's suggested buying them canoes so they can travel in style, tents to sleep in and 3 cans of peas per family.
A magnitude-6.9 earthquake shook India and Nepal on Sunday night, killing at least 16 people, damaging buildings and sending lawmakers in Nepal's capital running into the streets. To their dismay the ground was shaking outside also.

A leaking gasoline pipeline in Kenya's capital exploded on Monday, turning part of a slum into an inferno in which at least 75 people were killed and more than 100 hurt. We here at WSCB would like to apologize due to us believing this story involved talk of sex and AIDS considering Africa's high rate of infections with the deadly disease. The headline came over the wire to us as, "Pipeline blast kills 75 in Nairobi."
In a sharp challenge to the GOP, President Obama proposed paying for his costly new jobs plan Monday with tax hikes that Republicans have already rejected. The president's proposal drew criticism from House Speaker John Boehner, who'd previously responded in cautious but somewhat receptive tones to the $447 billion jobs plan made up of tax cuts and new spending that Obama first proposed last Thursday. The biggest piece of the payment plan would raise about $400 billion by eliminating certain deductions, including on charitable contributions, that can be claimed by wealthy taxpayers. House Speaker John Boehner had this to say on twitter Monday evening, "@HouseSpeezyBoBo: He might be right or wrong but just don't fuck up my money. #thisniggaistripping"

In a sharp challenge to the GOP, President Obama proposed paying for his costly new jobs plan Monday with tax hikes that Republicans have already rejected. The president's proposal drew criticism from House Speaker John Boehner, who'd previously responded in cautious but somewhat receptive tones to the $447 billion jobs plan made up of tax cuts and new spending that Obama first proposed last Thursday. The biggest piece of the payment plan would raise about $400 billion by eliminating certain deductions, including on charitable contributions, that can be claimed by wealthy taxpayers.

More than 240 people were killed when a crowded ferry sank off Tanzania's coast early on Saturday, and about 600 have been rescued, officials said Sunday. The figure indicates that the ferry was filled beyond capacity. The majority of the 600 rescued passengers are looking into suing the ferry company. They apparently were under the impression that it was going to America due to the name of the ferry, which was the, "Amistad II."
About 100,000 people flocked to a memorial ceremony Saturday for the victims of the Russian plane crash that devastated a top hockey team. Mourners, including Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, poured into the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl's arena to lay flowers near coffins containing remains of the team's players and staff. Hockey pucks were left by those who were unable to afford flowers.
The percentage increase in suspicious activity tips in D.C. this weekend according to MPD chief Cathy Lanier was 60%. Officials said many reports were that of suspicious vehicles. 59.6% were of taxi cabs with drivers that were reported as "swarthy & talking on their cell phones."
