Do I care that the police are offended by President Obama's assertion that the arrest of Henry Gates was stupid? Not in the least. Being caught on tape beating Rodney King didn't change their behavior, as a matter of fact, the police have escalated violence upon citizens of color. They even shoot pets of mayors even though they don't have any proof that the mayor was involved in a crime. And never apologize.
Considering that the police have gotten away with shooting so many whose only crime was breathing while black, they deserve to be called more than stupid. From shooting an unarmed Amadou Diallo 41 times to fatally peppering Sean Bell with four of the 51 bullets fired by undercover officers into a vehicle where none of the suspects had weapons, the police have gotten away with murder time after time. And they will probably get away with shooting a handcuffed Oscar Grant in the back because that's the way this country rolls. If you're a black man you don't have the right to exist outside of prison and the police take every opportunity to ensure that as many black men as possible enjoy the hospitality of the the local prison. Or preferably, the morgue.
Why should an old black man have to call a locksmith to get into his own house? When melanin impaired people get locked out, they climb through windows or crawl in through the basement and nobody thinks that's odd. Do criminals normally bring chauffeurs when they break into homes? Mr. Gates has been a resident of Cambridge since 1991 and his neighbors don't recognize him? Or are they so insulated that all black men look alike?
Has it occurred to anyone that after you reach the age of fifty, have received nearly fifty honorary degrees and are returning from China with a bad case of bronchitis to your home in an upscale neighborhood and the police arrive moment later, that maybe, just maybe you might feel like you are being singled out for no other reason than the color of your skin?
And now the poor little officer is thinking of suing. Well, he and the rest of the police should get over it. I have neither sympathy nor empathy for their feelings. They taser pregnant women and people sleeping face down and naked on their own couch, they taser a deaf man wearing nothing but a towel in his own bathroom (after another false report) and claim that they were worried about their own safety, why should anyone have sympathy for them? If they are that scared, maybe they should find a less stressful job. Or quit using mass amounts of caffeine followed with the popular donut high, cut back on the steroids and take some stress management classes.
And for the record, at one time I wanted to be a cop. My dad said they would never take me because I wasn't violent enough, he was right.

Penny Wise And Pound Foolish
Either the fish run out of water or we run out of food. 400,000 of 611,000 acres of farming land lying fallow. 80,000 jobs are expected to be lost this year alone and the harm will continue to spread. This is going to be a global problem in short order and fun times will not be had by all. Or even many.
Ah yes, the glories of the American business model. Form working at Universal Studios where they cut back the secretaries health benefits and overtime to cut costs while having weekly champagne parties for producers and subsidized executive housing loans at less than three percent, nothing much has changed in the work world. Lay off employess at the bottom, give the people at the top a bonus. And if they do manage to sell the company, all they've sold is blue sky since the people who did the production work won't be working there to make anything to sell. And then there won't be any people to buy the products but nobody seems to think that far ahead. Until it's too late.
Flambeing their own. I hope crow tastes as bad as it sounds. When the Republicans get around to blaming themselves for being willing and active participants in the destruction of their party and learn that saying no reflexively is not what the American people want to hear, they might be able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and become a respectable party again. That would mean ignoring the Coulters, Malkins and Limbaughs and since hate seems to be more comfortable for them, I don't hold out much hope for change.
Conservatives want the border fence so that illegal immigrants can't sneak in and take jobs nobody else wants. Meanwhile the border seems to have more serious problems such as kidnappings, home invasions and executions. So, in typical fashion, Congress is going to hold hearings on the whether we're prepared to defend ourselves if there is even more violence. Right off hand I would have to say the answer is no as the National Guard and their equipment is off defending other countries on the other side of the world.
Goodbye Mr. Harvey. While I didn't agree with all your politics you were a bright spot on the Armed Forces Radio when we were stationed in Germany. For some reason you reminded us of home and between you and Kasey Kasem we listened to the both of you faithfully. Thank you for helping us not to feel too lonely. Rest in peace, you will be missed.
So which was is it, 2003 or 2005? The BBC article was a little confusing but research showed it was 2003. I had front row seats for a Siegfried and Roy performance back in 1987 and I remember thinking "maybe a front row seat isn't the best place to be when you have an elephant on two legs looming over your head." It was still a great show and it's nice to have them back even if it was for one show only.
I went to get my hair cut yesterday and as I looked for a place to park a guy came out of the barbershop and headed toward his car. Out of nowhere this woman started to attack him in the middle of the street. He didn't respond and tried to get into his car. She wouldn't let him close the door and kept hitting and screaming at him. I had a front row view because I was waiting for the space. Another person left the shop and I circled around to get his space after I offered the poor guy my phone so he could call the police. At no time did this man lift a finger towards this woman who was clearly out of control.
The police arrived in short order and the first thing they did was put the man in cuffs and put him in the back of the cruiser. Then they talked to the woman, refused to take the statement of the witnesses watching and finally let the guy go after threatening him with arrest if he didn't wait down the block for the bus to pick him up. Did I mention that the woman was Filipino and the man was black? I asked the cop when I left and he said it was just a domestic disturbance and no charges would be filed against the woman. I told him that just because she was ineffectual at that moment didn't mean she didn't need anger management classes and that the second time she had burst into the shop both the patrons and the workers were afraid she had a gun and would use it. No response. When I drove off they were impounding the guy's car and flirting with the woman. As I told them when I passed them the last time was that if it had been the guy hitting the woman, he would have been in jail so fast his head would be spinning. Which is why this is video is disturbing. I guess might really does makes right.

Rich, Bitch And Snitch
Now even the rich are whining. Three pages worth and it's hard to read without realizing how clueless some people are. I understand the principle, but it's hard for me to feel much sympathy since even they admit that they can afford to live there.
Is Gaza like the Warsaw ghetto during the Nazi occupation? Professor Levine offers a multitude of reasons why they are similar and one on why they are not and determines that they are not the same because not a high percentage of enough Palestinians have been killed. Not that Mr. Levine cared when the 200,000 Rwandans were dying but they are useful now. And here all this time I thought I was good at rationalizing anything. Politicide, genocide, they're two sides of the same coin. Either way it falls the Palestinians will never have anything but a below third rate status and the world will continue to watch and do nothing except say "stop that." Until it's too late.
Speaking of rationalizing, Kathleen Pender thinks the job cuts announced this month should be put into perspective. That it isn't really that bad when you look at the percentages. Maybe she should sit outside some of the major retailers and see how full the parking lots and the baskets that come out of them, aren't.
Two weeks after a fellow officer shot an unarmed, handcuffed, lying face down on the cement, man in the back the story is that the victim was trying to kick him in the nuts so that's why he hit him in the head and then had him in the position so his fellow officer could use what he now swears he thought was his taser to shoot a man who was already subdued. They are trying this case in the media and just like with rape victims they are trying to use the victim's past against them. And the cop who did the shooting has been granted bail. It might be $3 million but it still brings to mind an interesting question. Why do cops get granted bail at all? If I committed murder I wouldn't be granted bail and neither would anyone else I know. Being rich has its advantages also, just ask Phil Spector. Yup, she walked in the door of his mansion where she had never been before, grabbed his gun and committed suicide. Next thing you know I'll be believing in fairy godmothers.
So Michael Phelps likes to get stoned when he isn't competing. There is nothing wrong with that since in no way is pot a performance enhancing drug, but you shouldn't let people take photos of you hitting the bong. And to the person who did it for the money, shame on you!

That's tough to do when you live in a place where the board of the country club recently approved a plan to spend $60 million in upgrades. That has caused some tenants, like Goodwin, whose annual expenses run to $80,000 for a 720-square-foot, or 67-square-meter, home, to put his property up for sale.I can almost hear tiny violins in the background.
"It was a grandiose program that went directly into the eye of the storm," he said. "I used to be rich and by American standards, I still am. But now it is a time for people like me to hunker down."

Stories Sinking Like The Edmund Fitzerald
Bush is still a dickhead. Espousing stupidity at every opportunity. Torture is okay in his book, although I admit I haven't read My Pet Goat. With just a few more weeks left for him to do damage, he still babbles on about the benefits of waterboarding. Too bad it isn't with him as the number one candidate followed by Cheney and then Rumsfeld. Of course, that's assuming there is justice in the world and that Americans don't do what they always do. Forget about it unless it's a Democratic sex scandal or somebody who used to work for a Democratic administration now is running for office. It's too bad that what I really think would get me investigated more than I already am if I said it out loud or put it in print. As far as I know, thoughts could be illegal at this point.
Liar, liar, his pants are almost on fire. Please don't tell me that Obama thinks Gitmo is a spa facility. Or that the innocent (women, children, families in the way) Gaza dead are going to come back to life. If you can't do the difficult things, then why the hell did you want to be President? We've already had eight years of do nothing but harm, the nation can't take much more of this incompetence. New king, just like the old king. Or as they used to say in countries with royalty "the King is dead, long live the King!" It's obvious that Obama has an addiction. It's called the Crackberry (I didn't know the President could be bought with fancy swag and cutesy toys) and it isn't even made in the states.
Once, twice, twelve times in the back. Yes, the police have established quite a nice record of civil rights for black men since Obama has been elected. Aren't you glad the race wars are over? Happy frickin' New Year.
Gee, who didn't see that coming? The states with the highest unemployment rates also have the highest home foreclosure rates. By the time we get to hell there won't even be a hand basket will be so burnt we'll have to crawl the rest of the way.
If I can't do it, then neither can you. But do what you want with Gaza, people with complain but nobody will do anything to stop the destruction. Besides, it isn't like they are real people like the rest of the world.
Didn't you think that Ponzi schemes were illegal? I guess, like most of what passes for government and business today, rules don't apply to them.
And just because I hate to the song so much you can hve the link, I refuse to embed it. The song never ends.

War, Witch, Stupidity And No Money
Bush is leaving office and just like every other company he left in tatters, America is no different. He's going on his merry way while the Middle East becomes a conflagration that could reach worldwide proportions. Honestly, did people really think that everyone in the Arab world would turn their back on the Palestinians in Gaza?
Israel is such a tiny country in a stupid location it was only a matter of time before other Arab states started lobbing missiles in either support of their brethren, just because they can or because the Israelis want to make it look like Hamas is everywhere that Israel wants to invade next.. If anybody besides Israel really did have "WMDs" their would be no more Israel. To go along with the no more sympathy for any excuse the Israelis use for "protecting" themselves. Genocide, you would think that Jewish people would think it was wrong and a crime against humanity. But that was sixty years ago and it was happening to them, not them perpetrating it on others.
It would be my pleasure to punch her in the yap. Or Adam's apple. Free speech means for everyone, not just Man Coulter and the idiots who agree with her. When is this witch going to be committed to a place where they can adjust her meds daily?
The Dear John Doe letters to the families of those who have died fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq shows in bitter detail how little the government cares about those they have caused to die for no other reason than to boost their own egos. 7000K letters. So much for NCLB when the adults teaching can't even proofread and they supposedly went to school when reading was mandatory. What's next, text messages where you have to guess what they mean? Wer srry ur fmly mmbrs r ded?
Almost as good is if your child plans on using the bathroom or reading books in class please send toilet paper and light bulbs for each of your children in the school because their budgets have been cut so much that they can't afford the basics. I don't know about you but I find it hard to concentrate on school work when I have to go poop. Especially in a public bathroom.
Up, down, more, less. It no longer matters because we don't make anything in this country anymore and until we do we will keep sliding down the rabbit hole. Heck, we can't even sell things anymore. That would require stores to be open for business. Dire consequences, what an understatement.
Wannabe cops shoot an unarmed, restrained person in the back and you think there won't be riots? And cops wonder why they don't get the respect they think they deserve.
No shit. Wow, these economists are brilliant.

Indict, Impeach, Imprison
Sounds good to me. Riddle me this. If you've lied about WMDs, lied about al-Qaeda involvement, lied about outing a CIA officer, why should I believe you when you say that you didn't forge documents to start a war under false pretenses?
From the nucking futz department. The crew without a clue is putting every American outside the country a moving target. For torture.
I've been a poker player for about 18 years and absolutely loved the game until Chris Moneymaker won the World Series of Poker with a 7-2 offsuit. It was a disaster for the game. Now everyone and his brother wants to play poker and go all in on almost every hand, even if they're playing $3-$6.. Odds don't matter, logic doesn't matter, position doesn't matter. A big stack you can bully someone with does. The San Jose card clubs are in a word, deficient. From the food to the lack of services. There are so many rules and regulations, they can't even replace your drink if the floorman knocks it over. You don't even get a deck of cards when you make a Royal Flush. Nothing, nada, not even a picture. If they would let us have jackpots, bring back the masseuse while playing, anything, and if I had money to play I wouldn't mind the proposed tax hike in the card rooms to save city services. But what do the players get in return? Higher table fees that don't go into the pot, which will mean less players per hand. 49 tables sounds nice, but shouldn't there be some money in the pot to fight over? Otherwise, what's the point?
Oh joy, another taser death. Aided and abetted by police brutality. I guess he was supposed to yell fire instead. With the usual cover-up. The Swissvale police also don't seem to understand the First Amendment. Specifically the part that deals with peaceful assembly. I guess they think that since they aren't Congress, the Amendment doesn't apply. To people without badges.

Jaw Dropping Crap
Asking if Congress deserves a vacation is like waking up and smoking a joint to decide if you want to smoke a joint. Shouldn't they have to do some work first? At least occasionally? In the never ending run for the White House, how many votes have McCain and Obama missed while they were running for another office because the one they're in isn't good enough? And please, using the example that the Demowienies don't want to cave in to the Republicans is foolish since there are more than enough examples to go around. Fortunately 472 of them are up for reelection this year, maybe they'll get a surprise at the polls.
Things are getting better all the time. Pretty soon the only people employed in America will be those who provide personal luxury services to our overlords.
The police are sticking with their story that the kid with the broken back and foot tried to get up and walk into traffic so that's why they had to taser him 19 times. Do they drug test cops? Because if they don't, they should. On a daily basis. Especially hallucinogens.
Hmm, I see the cojone missing stormtroopers have struck again. What possible excuse (other than revenge) could there be for placing a compromising package (you know they did it), bursting into the mayor's home and then shooting his two Labrador Retrievers, one of whom was hunted while running away, to death? No arrests were made.
I joined the Army in 1974 and I can honestly say that other than a few bawdy jokes (that I enjoyed because they were funny) and the occasional "accidental" brush against my tits, only one person ever harassed me and he ended up at Leavenworth doing hard time for a few years. Hhis conviction ostensibly had nothing to do with me since my First Sergeant wouldn't take me seriously, but I knew something else that caused his incarceration and had no hesitation about making sure the MPs found out about it. Other than that, my troop mates were my friends and they treated me just like the other guys. Now it seems that a woman serving in the military is as likely to be assaulted by the people who are supposed to be watching her back as she is to be killed or wounded by a terrorist. I thought it was supposed to be you were more likely to be killed by a terrorist as to get married after forty? Methinks that order in the military isn't what it used to be.
