yet another Triple Standard… (quadruple, quintuple, sextuple ….)

A group of “hippies” including a retired Judge get beaten by the CSPD at a parade where the entrance fees and requirements are fulfilled, the Gag-Zette and all it’s Sieg Heil readership say “well, Free Speech, yes, but there have to recognitions of Consequences of that Speech (In other words, we’re “Free” to say whatever we want as long as the Local Gestapo isn’t offended in any way) Ward Churchill…

Sues because a Government Agency, (state college) machs mit der Sieg Heil and obeys the orders of UnterFuhrer Bill Owens and fires him on made-up charges…

The jury agrees but only awards him a dollar.

One Juror says the same thing, “Free speech, yes, but there has to be recognition of Consequences of Free Speech”

Meaning, once again, that the Local Gestapo can crack down on Free speech…

An American journalist gets arrested in Iraq and it’s a “Hostage Situation” according to the Same Right Wing Freaks who think we should be beaten, impoverished or imprisoned for “free” speech.

The Right Wing FigPuckers like our Regular ChickenHawk Trolls say WE should be docile and accept punishment for Free Speech but not their Right Wing Accomplices.

They say WE should be punished for Civil Disobedience but that THEIR War Criminal “heroes” should go unpunished for THEIR murders and Tortures and other Violent Crimes.

Like the Blackwater Goon Squads.

I’m not for the death penalty, but the four Blackwater Goons who got hacked up and hanged on the Fallujah bridge, while nobody deserves death, they DID get exactly what they and their Comrades in and out of the Official Military dish out routinely.

But again, we should be punished for objecting.

Some of the Right Wing Freaks have suggested that I should be beaten up or even murdered for pointing out these things.

Since they have no MORAL objections to those suggested actions, and their Leaders say that there’s no LEGAL objections, and the Local Gestapo like the EPCSD and the CSPD would look the other way or perhaps even participate in such actions, I guess the only REAL reason they haven’t comes down to Simple Cowardice.

In other news…

The Gag-zette is going whole hog trying to get people to read their Noose-Pooper. I was going to say their Toilet Paper but there’s a fairly entertaining and even more informative underground paper in town with that name, The Toilet Paper.

The Gag is almost to the point of paying people to read it.

It’s painfully embarrassing to watch. They’ve lost all sense of dignity and self esteem.

Of course, you knew, didn’t you, that a newspaper which has as part of its official editorial policy, the notion that Freedom means the duty to do what you’re told to do when you’re told to do it… Ain’t gonna last forever.

The Independent, which gives its paper away free, and only once a week, is making more money than the Zette. How very humiliating that must be!

I need help buying the Wachovia building downtown…

I’ve got like 50¢ American, a couple of 20 peso notes and a Canadian quarter, I need about a dollar more… If I wait until next week when CitiGroup goes under I can probably get it for standing outside singing until they flip the deed my way and of course the keys.

My plans for it are either to offer a free shelter, aka Flophouse, got the idea from the notion that their executives have already flopped there…

OR,

Turn it into a Capitalist Re-Education Center. I wouldn’t call it that, of course, I would simply put an advertisement in the Gag-zette, offering a Commissions Only job for Experienced Stockbrokers.

Then have the Keyboards on the computers hotwired, also the mouse, the coffee cups, the Executive Plush High Back Office Chairs with armrests and cupholders, so that every time they try to complete a trade on Short or on Margin or any other form of “hey, I ain’t got the bread to cover this byotch if it don’t pay off right, but I’m betting all my money and yours too on it paying off” bullshit…

They get a painful electric shock in randomized places, and subliminals on the screen telling them not to do it again.

Of course, so many of them are Masochists that they’ll get a freaky little thrill out of it, and ALL of them are so damned greedy they would last a couple weeks before figuring out that something isn’t quite normal…

Rodeo just says “No” to cattle prod (allegations)

According to a screamin’ big headline in todays Gag-zette.

And just last year we had a miniature debate with some woman who said that using things like a rope tied around the testicles or touching the genitalia or rectum of an animal with some high-amp low-voltage charges wouldn’t cause the animal any Pain.

I really do envy the Dr Doolittle types, the ones who can get word straight from the horses mouth that, ‘why no, Little Missy, it doesn’t hurt us a bit to have our nutsacks squeezed…’

But unfortunately, I can’t understand Simplified Cattle or Horse Talk, so I’ll just have to judge by the way their eyes roll and the high pitched screaming noises they make, and the way they suddenly go berzerk and try to KILL somebody immediately following these “painless” procedures.

And, going by that evidence, I can state with absolute confidence that, why yes, Little Missy, that shit really does hurt.
