I LOVE the way these kids operate These are the ones who went to the Recruiting Offices in Manhattan and tried to enlist. In their 70s and 80s. This has an other link off on the sidebar to your right, on The Rag Blog. But I figured the more the merrier. Meanwhile, Napolitano said that we have the highest risk of Terror Attack since 9/11 and calls on the Local Constabularies and the Citizens to profile anybody who doesn't look right. You know, like Black Folks, Mexican or Native American or Asian or anybody with more melanin in his/her skin hair and eyes than your average Norther European. So if you see a Black Person on the bus or Train like Ojore Lutalo you now have the full permission of the Federales to call Nine Eleven on him. Enhanced quotation from the "Good (white) Citizens" who cost him a week of his liberty for the crime of riding Amtrak as though he were a Human Being with rights and dignity and shit like that... He was lookin' at us like he was angry or somethin' just cause all of us Old Peckerwoods wuz starin' at him and whisperin'. Then he got on a cell phone and acted all angry that we wuz trying to eavesdrop on him. Obviously a Terrorist. Also news, the House tried to "ram the bill down our throats" as in, Republican leaders decided to have an "emergency vote" on extending Government Powers to treat Americans as shitty as they do suspects in Iraq. Because of the procedure call it would have taken a straight two-thirds majority to pass. It got a majority but not the two thirds. Conspicuously absent on the Nay vote list was any representative from Colorado. ChickenHawk Lamborn for instance. They're going to try again because the Fascist Secret Police Powers expire Monday if not extended. Why do Right Wing Lunatics hate Constitutional Freedoms for anybody other than Wealthy White People?

So, who’s policing the police?
This is one of those items that set my fuzz alarm off. A British immigration official set his wife up, had her go on a trip to Pakistan, then used his position to put her on a Terror Watch and No-Fly list. For THREE YEARS. UK immigration officer fired for putting wife on ‘no-fly’ list Thursday, February 3rd, 2011 -- 7:18 pm Woman stuck for three years in Pakistan Ever since anti-terrorist "no-fly" lists were implemented in the years following the 9/11 attacks, critics have aired concerns about people being unjustly denied the ability to fly, and about the prospect of government agents abusing the ability to ground travelers. Now a revelation from the British government suggests those fears aren't unfounded. According to the Home Office, the department in charge of internal security in the UK, an immigration officer decided to get rid of his wife by placing her on a "no-fly" list. The Daily Mirror reported that the officer's wife traveled to Pakistan to visit relatives, but when she arrived at the airport to come home to Britain, she was told she could not board the plane and officials would not reveal why. The woman ended up stranded in Pakistan for three years as a result, the Daily Mail reported. “She obviously thought her husband, being an immigration officer, would be able to find out what was going on," a source inside the immigration office told the Mirror. "Little did she know it was him who had put her on the list. By all accounts he then had the time of his life.” What's more, Home Office officials didn't discover the fraudulent listing until the immigration agent, whom the British government didn't name, was put up for promotion and a review of his work uncovered his wife's name on a no-fly list. The officer confessed to altering the list and was fired for "gross misconduct," the Home Office stated. He reportedly worked at the immigration bureau's head office near London, where he was part of a group responsible for updating government security lists. A Home Office spokesman said the British government takes all allegations of misconduct seriously. "On the extremely rare occasions where this occurs, the strongest action is taken," the spokesman said. the story here... Oh yeah, right. "in those rare incidents" uh-huh. How 'bout amending that to "on those rare incidents when somebody gets caught abusing the No-check No Fly list system". Others famously on the No-Fly list including a little 6 year old girl (why do Right Wingers hate American little girls?) and Bea Arthur, and the guy who played H.R. Puffenstuff. Two separate incidents where the "middle eastern terrorists" were American Hassidic Jews. The standard right wing echo of "well, if they would just look more mainstream" ... Meaning, white, anglo-saxon, protestant... And the bastards want to extend the same rules to bus and train riders.
Has Faulkner bin beatin’ his old lady?
Who knows? Gary Faulkner will undoubtedly get more Due Process from Colorado's courts (Go ahead, Gary, THANK us "bleeding heart do-gooder Liberals" for not just turning over Due Process meekly and without protest to your Fascist Whore-lords) than he was willing to give Osama bin Dead_for_8_years. Which is more to the point, but if the un-named by reporters female who was alleged to have been assaulted by him (and given more than one injury) is his wife and he did smack her around, Mrs Faulkner, forget that life insurance policy you're waiting to collect, ditch his crazy ass. It ain't worth it, baby. Meanwhile, he made some cryptic statements back in June about "Wait until August, then you'll see". August ended a month and a half ago and the most anybody has said about Osama is that stupid faked up picture the F.B.I. tried to push off on the rest of the world. And an admission, once it was shown to be a retouched picture of a Spanish member of parliament, that they don't have a single picture of Osama from anytime in the last 8 years. Almost 9 years now. So, Mr Stupid Crazoid Faulkner, how the hell were you intending to know if the "ay-rab towel head sand-nigger" you would have ended up murdering was in fact Osama bin Laden? The God-Damned Freakin' Bureau Of Incompetence DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE but YOUR stupid ass was going to commit murder in the Tribal Autonomous Region, and then run around like an idiot with some vague idea that the lying-ass United States departments of State, Defense and Justice were going to back you up on it? The Pathans would have been parading your pin-sized head on a stake for a week after your very short trial. That's just on the very off chance that Gary Faulkner will read this or more likely have one of his Responsible Grown-ups read it for him. For his fan club who think it was a good idea, and who get all their information on Islam, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Arabs, other Muslims (an Arab would stand out like a sore thumb in Afghanistan or Pakistan, like a Guatemalan tribal leader would in Berlin) consider this, o ye Expert Ones... your Expert Psycho-Social Profile Experts like Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck, neither of whom know the least little thing about Islam, don't know any Muslim PEOPLE, don't speak read or write Arabic, or Hebrew, or Aramaic, or any of those other Religious Languages they claim to be Authorities therein... According to the Profile Osama bin Laden is a glory-hound who wants his own name on everybody's lips and wants the entire world to recognize him as a great Religious and Political Super-Leader. Wouldn't you think, just maybe, that a glory-hound like that might want to have his verified picture taken regularly? If, that is, he were still alive? It seems to me, you know, that as long as they can hold up a picture or other representation of the Bogus Boogieman Osama the
