Buckingham Palace was placed on lockdown after a man attacked police officers with a knife.

Images posted on social media showed a heavy police presence at the scene and a cordon around an area of The Mall in front of the palace.

Two male police officers sustained minor injuries while detaining the suspect on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and assaulting a police officer. No one else is reported to have been injured in the attack.

Initial reports suggested the man had been armed with a sword but the Metropolitan Police described the weapon as a knife.

Not sure what sort f coverage you would think is appropriate for something that occurred in the late afternoon/early evening (depending on what US time zone you're in), when no real details are forthcoming; personally, I would rather the coverage wait for something giving some insight into what happened and what the likely motives were, rather than instantaneous coverage with the inevitable unsupported speculation of the reporters we usually see.

• So, depending on where you stand, maybe this was just a communications mix-up. Maybe Team Osteen really did think the arena was inaccessible—though they got inside the church pretty quickly to take pictures of what they claimed was water damage inside. And maybe Lakewood really did always plan to be a "distribution center" that would ultimately take on displaced people in desperate need of refuge. Or, you know, maybe it took a public shaming for an obscenely rich pastor to help people in need.

New Service Replaces ‘Game Of Thrones’ Sex Scenes With Glaring Kevin DeYoung



U.S.—A new service offered by Pure Flix will now allow Christians to watch Game of Thrones in good conscience, as all of the show’s raunchy scenes filled with sex and nudity have been replaced with a disappointed-looking Kevin DeYoung glaring at the viewer, a company representative confirmed Wednesday.

Just as believers are settling in to enjoy the show’s intricate plot and wide range of morally gray characters, the Reformed reverend will suddenly pop up on the screen and shake his head in disappointment at the viewer at all of the numerous points where the show would usually feature a graphic sexual act.

“All in all, we only had to replace about ten hours of the show with DeYoung footage,” a Pure Flix representative said. “We think believers will really enjoy the alternating experiences of taking in the story’s complex narrative and wallowing in guilt for watching a show filled with pornographic material.”

At publishing time, critics had given rave reviews to the new edited version of the A Song of Ice and Fire adaption, stating that DeYoung’s performance rivaled the work of even fan-favorite actors like Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey.

Some of the other stories linked to on that page were excellent, too; I particularly liked "Hell Introduces 13 New Varieties Of Pineapple Pizza."

Just as I think that Fargo is one of the top 50 movies of all time. So there. Neither one is low-brow (or uni-brow) unpleasantness such as Breaking Bad, Say Yes to the Dress or that Kardashian nonsense.

Osteen's preference for cash over care was illustrated in full on August 27, 2017. In the wake of hurricane Harvey, Osteen cancelled Sunday services and closed his church stating concerns of flooding. Refuges have been directed to the nearby George R. Brown Convention Center where, "It’s amazing what they’re doing there the make people comfortable." Neighbors have reported they have no flooding concerns.[http://nypost.com/2017/08/28/pastor-ost ... ng-crisis/]

. . . is a financial predator of the worst kind, a pernicious agent of mammon who exploits the generosity and the faith of his flock to live a lifestyle of heretical luxury and sinful excess. He's a fake Christian con man who refuses to open the doors of his 16,800 seat mega church to the desperate people Houston during hurricane Harvey.
