WE SAY they were civilian contractors kidnapped from a Baghdad neighborhood apartment. WE ARE investigating whether the abduction was coordinated by Iran. When those missing are Western agents or corporate media propagandists or covert special ops (or wayward US sailors armed with AK-47s), we say they are abducted and scour diplomatic channels for traces of the underword. When the victims are adversarial persons of interest to Western military intelligence or the White House, they are rendered extraordinarily or summarily incinerated from the sky end of story. Can you imagine foreign diplomats approaching US officials about their passport holders gone missing? How simply ludicrous that the US is indignant that our mercenaries are being picked off at the scene of their crimes. Iraq is a war zone. What, the occupied peoples must endure our drones but can't arrest our criminals? Even when we're raping Iraqi women? American exceptionalists bomb hospitals but hold brothels to be no fly zones. US media won't report who the contractors were or what they were doing. Security service company SALLYPORT is denying the three men work for them, or their parent company MICHAEL BAKER INTERNATIONAL, or doing work for GENERAL DYNAMICS CORP under contract with the US Army. The Dirty Three might have been in the sex trafficking service of providing "comfort women" for the US soldiers being redeployed to Iraq. "Sallyport" sounds pretty damned ugly to me. Good riddance.

Repulsive liberal ‘progressive’ hypocrisy on US warmaking
'Beyond that, Obama has used drones to kill Muslim children and innocent adults by the hundreds. He has refused to disclose his legal arguments for why he can do this or to justify the attacks in any way. He has even had rescuers and funeral mourners deliberately targeted. As Hayden said: ”Right now, there isn’t a government on the planet that agrees with our legal rationale for these operations, except for Afghanistan and maybe Israel.” But that is all perfectly fine with most American liberals now that their Party’s Leader is doing it: Fully 77 percent of liberal Democrats endorse the use of drones, meaning that Obama is unlikely to suffer any political consequences as a result of his policy in this election year. Support for drone strikes against suspected terrorists stays high, dropping only somewhat when respondents are asked specifically about targeting American citizens living overseas, as was the case with Anwar al-Awlaki, the Yemeni American killed in September in a drone strike in northern Yemen. The Post‘s Greg Sargent obtained the breakdown on these questions and wrote today: The number of those who approve of the drone strikes drops nearly 20 percent when respondents are told that the targets are American citizens. But that 65 percent is still a very big number, given that these policies really should be controversial. And get this: Depressingly, Democrats approve of the drone strikes on American citizens by 58-33, and even liberals approve of them, 55-35. Those numbers were provided to me by the Post polling team. It’s hard to imagine that Dems and liberals would approve of such policies in quite these numbers if they had been authored by George W. Bush.' The proceeding was taken from Glenn Greenwald's commentary Repulsive progressive hypocrisy published in Salon Magazine, and YES, the liberal Democrats I personally know are a group of hypocrites when it comes to what they do and do not do, while supposedly opposing American made wars. Greenwald has them sized up right IMO. His is a courageous voice.
Are Soldiers ‘baby killers’?
Are soldiers 'baby killers'? This is an interesting question for many reasons, one of which is simply because nobody I know has ever actually used this particular accusation phrased in exactly this particular manner against US troops. But that doesn't stop many Right Wingers from becoming absolutely hysterical against US Leftists when we open our mouths against THEIR wars, where they then go on to often accuse us Leftists of supposedly calling US soldiers 'baby killers'. That charge is some sort of high crime in their seemingly rather clueless heads, that leads the Right Wing mind to thinking it perfectly alright to personally threaten others with physical violence and demands from them to 'shut you up'. It seems that to the Right Wing mind, the American troops trained to kill in battle are some sort of totally fragile and childlike creature that needs some sort of super special protection, or else the soldier will supposedly shatter into a million and one pieces under the effects of the rather mythical diagnosis of 'PTSD' that is now all the style to say that so many US soldiers have. Yes, the effects of being a US soldier wear hard on their often tiny little consciences, so we in the general public are simply told to shut up about talking about what their soldier 'jobs' actually consist of doing. Curiously enough though, the charge that soldiers were 'baby killers' is just what the Pentagon itself used to start off its multiple assaults/WARS on the Iraqi people. Apparently the Pentagon itself thought nothing at the time, of accusing OTHER soldiers of being 'baby killers'. However, the current Right Wing rabble seems to remember nothing about what I am referring to at all. Truly a spectacular case of selective amnesia by a KKK like mob! So let's refer back to the Pentagon propaganda of the Poppy Bush Era, ala 1990... ...from the Christian Science Monitor comes this personal story of how the events of that time unfolded to one American, and how the Pentagon accused soldiers of being 'baby killers'- Read below. 'More than 10 years later, I can still recall my brother Sean's face. It was bright red. Furious. Not one given to fits of temper, Sean was in an uproar. He was a father, and he had just heard that Iraqi soldiers had taken scores of babies out of incubators in Kuwait City and left them to die. The Iraqis had shipped the incubators back to Baghdad. A pacifist by nature, my brother was not in a peaceful mood that day. "We've got to go and get Saddam Hussein. Now," he said passionately. I completely understood his feelings. Although I had no family of my own then, who could countenance such brutality? The news of the slaughter had come at a key moment in the deliberations about whether the US would invade Iraq. Those who watched the non-stop debates on
Crime and Punishment and The CSCS Baby Killing Award
Tony wrote a piece about the ambiguous nature of prosecution in America, a DA can decline to prosecute anybody, or so it seeeeeeeems and somebody felt it amusing to write in offering to have sex with him. On the other hand, this month a Mass Murderer is coming to Colorado Springs with warrants for his arrest on war crimes... And the CSPD are going to protect him as usual and the "Christian" leaders are going to give his coward ass a medal, and the District Attorney is going to stand ready to prosecute anybody who disrupts the disgusting worship of Babykilling. And any so-called "Impartial" Judge in the state will join right in and "impartially" find him guilty before the "Impartial" hearing starts, and if the fellow is REALLY unfortunate he'll have to depend on the "Public Pretender" defense attorney who actually works for the same prosecution/police state the Judge and cops and District Attorney work for. The same Power Cartel who, under the leadership of such coward scumsuckers as George Bush and Sarah Palin and with the support of the Blasphemers at Colorado Springs Christian School and many others, also make war on people whose nations aren't legally under their control, like Iraq. Thursday: 1 US Soldier, 4 Iraqis Killed; 15 Iraqis Wounded, Friday: 31 Iranians, 8 Iraqis Killed; 300 Iranians, 21 Iraqis Wounded (The Bu'ush Regime now "led" by Obama is repeating the crimes of Bush The Elder and Ronald Reagan in using the now-conquered Iraqi Puppet Government as proxies to make war on Iran, typical courage of the WarMongers, they won't put their OWN nasty sorry lives in jeopardy nor do any of their own dirty work. Even the American soldiers are their Slave-Proxies) All the dying and killing done to prop up the so-called "Free" Market Capitalist Dictatorship. Capitalism won't stand on its own merits, it requires forced participation from everybody, especially those of us who DON'T benefit from it. Maybe the CSCS people can get some Dead Babies shipped in from Iraq or Iran or from the Capitalist Success Story Nations like Costa Rica, there's plenty to be had. Serve them up as party favors, skewered on bayonets just the way they like them. Why not, O ye hypocrites at CSCS? You punk-ass murdering BITCHES eat babies every day and more than just figuratively. Erik Prince, the Prince of Blackwater, the "Christian" warrior who is accomplice to Mr Bush's Murder Spree, can get some of his Babykilling Mercenary Punk Employees to ship them in on ice. Probably you prefer them with that three-days gon Dead Baby aroma and flavor though, so you can skip the ice part. Hey, it wouldn't be anything new for you. I am certain that there will be those "christians" here in the springs or maybe (since it IS the "world wide" web) halfway around the world who will object to my characterization of you babykillers as babykillers. You can offer up the mealtime "christian" prayer for them, how bout it, Patchsi, Janis, Publius, Princess Lisa Czeladtko, Sallie Clark? Bet you
The Law, in its Majestic equality, forbids rich and poor from being alike
At least when it comes to Urban Camping. Seems the "no camping" ordinance didn't apply at the mall when Greed rather than Need was the motivation to take to the tents. People started camping out early Thanksgiving day to be the first in line for "doorbuster" specials on Black Friday. How about it, Doug, Janis, Sean, Lionel? Chief Meyers? Sheriff Mussolini errr Maketa? How about it Tame Ass Right Wing Media in town, Praising the HomeFull campers for their bravery in voluntarily pitching their tents with plenty of police protection, unlike anything the HomeLess PEOPLE ever got. Hypocrisy, thou hast a name, and thy name is Colorado Springs Establishment. Maybe they could redeem themselves by publishing stories detailing how many of those purchases were made on Credit and in 6 months how many of the Credit Cards used are in default. Black Friday is allegedly a Triumph of Capitalism. Yes, once again the Corporate BigPigs got the commoners to push themselves further into debt which they'll never be able to repay. What a lovely victory that is!
Tennessee Fire-Non-Fighters and the Bible
The language used by the fire-non-fighter is heavily ingrained indoctrination. There's a movement with some familiar names on the letterheads, spokesfreaks not leaders, Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, Malkin... people whose ambitions are to create an American Sha'ariah based on their own interpretation of the Word. Or more importantly how the words of the Word get translated into English. They believe that somehow King James was a Liberal. Rather than the really vicious killer he was, and point to speculations on his sexuality, which really doesn't make three quarters of a fat rats ass. The dude was a killer, that trumps any other social or moral consideration you could think of. But the contention is that the Shakespearian English, and they toss in the "Shakespeare was queer, you know" wink wink nudge nudge low-flying canard as evidence, used in the KJV 1611 was "effeminate". Oh, he's a lumberjack, he's okay. (so gay?) And they're actually Re-Writing the Bible to reflect what they think it should be. Nothing new there. Even by their own admission. Many of them cite the "Thou shalt not Kill" commandment, saying that "They" meaning, not the person speaking who is as ignorant of who "They" are as he is of the actual grammatical structure of Classical Hebrew, BUT "They" Apocryphally proved that it really should have said "Thou shalt not Murder" and thus place a distinction among the concepts of Killings not authorized by the King-du-jour and those which are authorized. AND then make the silly ass demand that WE, the "peasants", never question "Their" word on it. Does Hannity or Malkin or Beck or Jack van Impe or any single one of their Demented Demonic Disciples actually speak Classical Hebrew fluently? I've never met one who does and I've been in fundamentalist churches all my life. The same way the Lying Freaks say that They, and only They, can possibly know the Original Intent of the "Founding Fathers" who just by a coincidence aren't the ones who actually FOUGHT the revolution, but those Wealthy Landed Aristocrats who commanded it. And the sources of their Arcane-yet-Unquestionable Knowledge of the Constitution are the sources of the Religious Revisionists. Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich are also in their sorry lying ChickenHawk lot. But they're going to, just like the Fire-Non-Fighter, claim that somehow They have been given the revelation that Thou Shalt Not Kill is a grammatical error in a language none of Them even speaks. Apparently the concept has been sold to more than a few individuals. And it's Mighty Convenient if those who seek to rule over everybody else offer up their version of the Word of God as being the unquestionable basis of their so-called "Authority". God Himself hath verily told us through secret Revelation that we of course are not obligated to prove in any way, that YOU must bow down before us, and accept our Mighty Rule as surely as you would His, without question or dissent Nothing new there either. The contention against "bad" kings as opposed to
TeaBag Heroin (she’s a Dope) Palin exploiting her kids again…
The latest episode had HER royal lowness being booed on a celebrity dance competition show in which she wasn't a participant, her Daughter Bristol was. Bristol who would rightfully be the Poster Child for "Abstinence only" sex education. Her son Trig she exploits as though she's a loving mom, but would she be as loving and concerned if Trig were NOT guaranteed health care, as so many of the children of the Poor are denied, and she had to go it alone without her Corporate Welfare job as a SpokesLiar for DumFox Noise Nutwerks? Her treatment of her other kids makes the question valid. Her other son, Track, she's holding up as her own personal sacrifice to the War she loves so much. Even saying that Other Moms across America need to sacrifice their sons and daughters lives to the god of war she worships. But, you see, Sacrifice is something you do with something that belongs to YOU. She doesn't own Track. Mighty White of her to decide to have him killed or wounded as a sacrifice to her Political Career. Same as her sacrifice of all the other Mothers Sons in the nations to which she's sending her son, so that he can Kill, imprison or enslave them in the process of taking the wealth of their nations. So let's all follow Sarah's Noble Example... Let us send Other People to kill even more Other People for our profit, without having to risk our own lives or commit our own thefts and murders. After all, they're not Princess Sarah, so their lives are pointless and void anyway. An affliction common among her class. Others who did or still do the exact same thing: George Bush, Neil Bush, Jeb Bush, Barbara & Jenna Bush, Huckabee, Giuliani, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, Ted Nugent, Don Blankenship, anybody with the last name Cheney, Mit Romney, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Weiner-Savage, Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump. There was a New York Rich Bitch named Helmsly, "the Queen of Mean", who said that only stupid people pay taxes. Let's expand that a little, not only do the Chickenhawks who infest the American Right Wing believe that only stupid people pay taxes (to support the corporate welfare war machine) in their pointy little heads it's obvious that only stupid people would go and fight for them, and THEIR bank accounts. Maybe they're right, and it would take a Real Dumbass to go risk your lives for snotty bitches like them. Then they get to look all "heroic" for sacrificing you. The soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines ought to take a good hard look at who exactly they're fighting to defend. See how much they REALLY value your lives. Then desert, take your rifles, go to the houses of the rich Parasites and simply kill them. They're doing the same thing to you.
Celebrity Leaders of the Anti-Peasant Crusade
Why is Lou Dobbs considered an "expert" on Immigration, but not Colbert? Now they're barking because Colbert testified in Congress as an "expert witness". And say that his only expertise was that he's a "Celebrity" Say whut? The problem they're having with his expertise isn't the shock to the senses that your first day of Field Labor is to ANYBODY. (It's why the Founding Fathers "hired" slaves to do it for them, because let's face it, if George Washington or Madison or Jefferson had to go out and cut their own damn tobacco and sugar cane (cotton wasn't a cash crop until later) they would have starved. Labor built the fortunes of the "Founding Fathers" the same way Labor builds the fortunes of the Capitalists today.) But they're claiming that his "expert" status was somehow due to his status as a Celebrity. So, what now, do they stop listening to that stupid John Wayne Record about how honorable it is to join the Army, travel to exotic places, meet interesting people, and Kill Them? Since John Wayne's only expertise on war and military was that he portrayed Soldiers in some of his movies. Same with Ronald Reagan, George W, Romney, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Ted Nugent, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Tom Tancredo, Bill O'Reilly, Rudi Giuliani, Lou Dobbs... The only experiences they had as "warriors" is that they dodged the draft and sent other people to kill and die in their stead. And they have an equivalent level of expertise in Immigration, Constitutional Law, Religion, Terrorism, or any of the other "Celebrity Expertise" they tout, and yes, even instruct the Right Wing Lunatic members of Congress on those subjects. Ted Nugent boasted that he "beat the draft" by shitting on himself then not bathing for a month before his Draft Board examination. Convinced the doctors he was crazy. Instead of just being a chickenshit. Now he supports all Wars and dares people to disagree with him. Kind of the same way Sarah Palin told people not to sit down or shut up, unless they "heckled" her, then she had Government police paid by Tax Money to enforce for her and violently remove anybody who dared to speak against her. Ted Nugent would do that same thing if you tried to take up his challenge at one of HIS hate rallies. Even though he's prancing around the stage, like the silly bitch he truly is, with an allegedly fully loaded machine gun. He'd still have somebody else do his fighting for him. But not a whimper from the Right Wing Noise Factory about HIS use of a "celebrity status" to tout their bullshit for them. Rudi Giuliani is a typical Pig, former prosecutor, like local Celebrities Ken Buck and Doug Bruce, meaning they stood in court, hiding behind their PIG comrades to make sure nobody gets "uppity" with them, and talk like they're "Tough Guys". Chickenshits and Pigs, Chickenhawks all. Giuliani is touted as an "Expert" in Terrorism because
Biggest Advertising Faux Pas
Just cruised by a TV. Tonight the diet-and-exercise show Biggest Loser... which has promotional sponsors who for one show hawk their wares, apiece, usually a food related sponsor, or Pilates, or something like that. Campbell's Soup, SubWay, Wendy's. Tonight... the United States Army. OOOPS. So the Army, which is trying desperately to claim the victory, the Win, the everything-but-utter-defeat... is sponsoring "The Biggest Loser". For those who aren't in the know, the Army really doesn't promote itself as a place to straighten out your life or get physically fit or emotionally together. They figure if you're not a grown up too bad, if you're out of shape they'd rather you didn't apply, unless they're digging for numbers and cannon fodder. Contrary to their advertising of course. Also they don't consider themselves to be a College Prep school nor an employment agency, even though they vaguely hint at it in their ads. They don't want to advertise the shocking numbers of Combat Vets who are unemployed and or homeless. Speaking of, it's almost time for the annual Stand Down, which, this year, takes place against a backdrop of Criminalized Homelessness. What a lovely and patriotic gesture the CSPD and Sheriff Maketa's Gestapo are going to present! Oh Well. Oh Hell.
Glenn Beck going blind, yes, it IS paybacks… from himself to himself
Now, I do know that Macular Degeneration isn't caused by lifestyle choices. Where HIS guilt in his own blindness is that the Corporations who FUND and ORGANIZE the TeaTards and also pay him more money a month than Real Construction Workers make in a LIFETIME of REAL work, to pose as a Working Class Citizen, have with the help of the Republican, Libertarian, and now Racist-ass Tea Parties, consistently blocked research into Macular Degeneration. Consistently. The same way Ronald and Nancy Reagan blocked socially and politically any effective research into Alzheimers until Ronald was diagnosed. Their Accomplices at FOX "news" manipulation have funded the TeaTards at first "secretly", an open secret but they denied it, until the Supremes, most notably Clarence "Uncle" Thomas, whose wife is a Corporate Lawyer Whore, decided that Corporations are better than and have more rights than us mere mortal peasants, and now the TeaTards have a little dilemma on their bloodstained hands... They've been outed by their Owners as being Corporate Whores. Now, I don't really want Glenn Beck to Go Blind. For one thing he's going to suck up Medical Resources trying to buy his way out of it, even if the Macular Degeneration research were fully funded today it won't save his eyes. The punk-ass Bitch made a career out of Spiritual Blindness and while he probably DOES deserve blindness.. we the people really don't deserve to have to listen to him make himself into a Pity-pot Martyr for years to come. Much like Rush Limbaugh, when he had chest pains in Honolulu, and was kept for observation overnight. Longer actually. Then said he got no special treatment, ANYBODY with chest pains gets that treatment... He neglected to mention "IN HAWAII". Which has Socialized Medicine and has for 30 years. People in the full-on Corporate States like Texas and Colorado don't get that kind of treatment, unless they're Rich. The TeaTards also don't mention that all medical research is publicly funded, even through "private" donations. The Richest "generously" give to the foundations, BUT, they get the money back in Tax Breaks. My, what Love and Charity! And of course, like our friend Bernie Herpin tried really hard to avoid saying, they have somebody blow a trumpet before them when they do their alms... on the public dime, and probably write off the expense of the trumpet player as a Business Expense. Such VICTIMS they are! Pay other peoples money to make themselves look good then pay MORE Tax-deductible Other Peoples money to make themselves out to be Christ-on-the-Cross if somebody happens to mention it. Glenn Beck is expected to milk his "misfortune" to the tune of an eight digit pay raise on his Corporate Lie Show. Meanwhile, a POOR person, a Real Worker, who starts going blind from M.D., or perhaps from workplace hazards, or from Environmental pollution, if he doesn't have the Really Expensive Insurance he can't afford on a REAL Workmans' salary.. ALL of which Glenn Beck "blindly" opposes any remediation thereof... won't even be diagnosed until far too late. If
Bernie HerPin, Billionaire Propagandist Rush Limbaugh, have a lot in common
--Like business ties to BP. The USOC deal the City Council made was also a BP front. Then there's their Anti-Worker ARROGANCE like this. Neither I nor Miss Johnnie can actually WALK anywhere. Both of us thrown to the wolves by the Corporatists, told that the medical treatments that could have kept us from becoming this badly disabled were “Too Expensive” and the Governments which THEY own, and are going to spend BILLIONS to stack with even more of their Greedy Political Whores, such as at local level our entire City Council, enforce that Corporate Welfare decision with "right to work" Slavery and "Tort Reform". My feet were broken by negligence on the part of Halliburton, who were making 4 times as much from my labor as I was paid, and wouldn’t pay so much as Workmans Compensation Insurance before the fact, fat chance they’d pay any of their bills for their Negligence afterwards. AP and other Tame Propaganda “news” sources for BP come off with an “aw, gee shucks, it ain’t that bad, look, the Seafood Industry isn’t suffering as bad (at one level) See, there’s these chefs who are proving the shrimps and such are safe to eat, don’t y’all worry your heads”. Not mentioning the massive hole the Bastards Punched into the Ecosystem. Miss Johnnie and I were in a cab going to the store. When I travel around town with her, because she can’t ride a bicycle anymore, it would be a choice of WALK which NEITHER of us can do, ride the Bus which doesn’t run on weekends or after 6 any other day, or take a cab. The Cabby is one of those Socially Inept types who feels he has to make his passengers listen to Rush Limbaugh spout his SHIT about how those Poor, poor misunderstood Rich BITCHES at BP are taking such a huge hit from all these Greedy Freeloaders who expect to Be Paid for the damage that BP did to their lives. The Billionaire Pussy Professional Liar claims he’s fighting for the “little people” who had invested their money into BP. Had to fix the code on it because everything from this point was in All Bold fonts. Why should THEY have to pay for the damages which were caused by the Business Practices, just because for years they’ve had a comfortable living off exploiting the workers not only in their own corporation but every ancillary and auxiliary industry around them? Claiming that they’re Being Punished By President “socialist” Obama, the one who has obviously Been Punked by the Oil Companies, Hell, he’s extending the wars Being Publicly funded for their Private Benefit. That somehow all the Corporate Welfare that has been funneled into their pockets and by extension HIS pockets is just their due reward. And the Taxpayers who have supported their Parasite Class for so long don't have any right to demand compensation when they break OUR ocean and OUR planet. Meanwhile “our”
Here’s a lady with a tale to tell, maybe
The daughter of Right Wing Darling "il Rudi", the one most famous for being skunked by the World Trade Center being bombed,on his watch, twice, ...by the same group... and makes bazillions of dollars every year doing lecture tours on the subject of Homeland Security and has praised Mussolini's policies... (Those who want to jump OUR collective arse for not rejecting every last scrap of Revolution, think about THAT, you closet case neo-nazi freaks) But his daughter, gets caught snagging makeup on the free for five finger discount plan. You have to say that last part out loud. Why? Daddy has enough bread stashed he could buy her a cosmetics business all her own so she could play Mafia Princess. Is she guilty? quien sabe. Certainly the boutique she was in at the time isn't noted for Liberal Political Actions. Neither the fuzz nor the Mob would want to set up the daughter of the REAL "Mr G" (and no, it ain't never been about John Gotti) What political bombshell is let loose with this? A rich kid throwing a tantrum, maybe? Not nearly. Because she's more than just a rich kid. She's Mr G's daughter. And the abject pettiness of the offense, OK so the makeup would cost more than I pay for rent in a half a year. Imagine, if you will, stuff that's ounce for ounce, gram for gram, more valuable than currency. Fitting into the pocket. But I digress. It IS a petty offense. Much as I love to rag on Chez Bush with Georgie-juniors niece getting off on a charge of DOPE. No, no, you're tuning out, quit it. Focus, man! The one whose daddy was Governor of an absolute Zero Tolerance state, her Uncle and Grandpa were presidents of the United States, where a young girl her age getting caught in Miami with a gram of pure white Cocaine and a skin of darker than Daughter/Niece Bush, would get 25 years hard time. Get caught with a Gram, Guv don't give a Damn. Unless you're his Fam. Damn. I hate that rhyme. Anyway, that one failed to catch fire. You'd think at least SOME of the Right Hypocrite Wing would have noticed but Noooooooo... They didn't give a rats buttocks that of the entire field of Republican't candidates two years ago, for President were draft dodgers, including "il Rudi" And supported the War. Never mind that the vast majority of the staff at Fox News, who are very quick to promote the impeachment of Clinton for getting a hummer under the table, brush aside the sexual doings of Republicans as being irreverently irrelevant. "Wide Stance at the Minneapolis Airport Boy", and then there's Vitter the... umm, Diaper Boy, etc... (bet you thought I was gonna say shitter right?) All of which make naught except for the fact that they condemn anybody who opposes them as being gay, draft dodgers or unnecessarily promiscuous, drug using or not giving a damn about promiscuity, drugs, homosexuality, or draft dodgers. It's the HYPOCRISY, Stupid! That and the Republicans
Update on the Vuvuzela ban in British Soccer
I mentioned the cheaply made plastic horns being banned on the ridiculous "public safety-homeland security" excuse that they could be a weapon. Now, I've a passing familiarity with weapons and the scars and record to prove it. If you could possibly use a vuvuzela as a weapon, if you have that skill level, then you would do a far quicker job of it with your bare hands. I also mentioned that the Soccer Football clubs don't ban drunken rowdies, and the existence of beer so strong it's properly measured in "proof" the way distilled spirits would be, 40% alcohol = 80 proof. The usual strength of distilled spirits in the U.S. Anything over 100 proof, is considered "overproof". This is not from direct experience, I don't drink. I do have a steadily decreasing number of friends who do. One of the many Reaganite approved ways of offing yourself with a little help from the Corporate Empire. Like this example. 55% 110 Proof BEER. It's a microbrew, sure. Most English beer that's a mere 25% alcohol (they call American beer "piss") isn't micro-brew, it's commercial grade toxins. This stuff is called "The End of History", they made like 12 bottles for sale, at 500 pounds per bottle. Using stuffed animals to hold the bottles. By that I don't mean Winnie the Pooh dolls or "my pretty pony" dolls... Yes, that's really a dead squirrel. You'd be drinking, had they not sold all 12 bottles almost immediately, so we know there's at least 2 dozen truly SICK ind-DUH-Viduals on the loose in our planet who have enough money to pay about $750 for something like ... drinking from a dead animal. It seems to me that you'd be French-kissing a dead rodent. While and at the same time, in a pointlessly repetitive, yet redundant, sort of way, poisoning yourself. Bottoms up. These dudes seriously need to make friends with Bill W. Meanwhile, in America and in Britain one can get the equivalent of a life sentence if you have pain medicine that's not prescribed for you. The Capitalist Propagandists who are cheering this particular piece of Legalized (and insane) Drug Dealing, also cheered when Jeb Bush refused to issue a pardon to a Florida Resident who had 20 Vicodins which had been prescribed to him, for neuro pain from Multiple Sclerosis, and given a 25 year sentence without parole on the One-strike-you're-out rule. The same week that Jeb Bush's daughter, who also happened to be the niece of the (at the time) Current President of the U.S. and the granddaughter of another President.... got probation and a "sentence" to drug rehab after testing dirty for cocaine while already on probation for drug offenses. And, meanwhile, here in Colorado Springs, the TeaBags are petitioning to ban the use of Medical Marijuana citywide. Their Puppet Organization the "Our Westside Neighbors" Fascist Control Freak Group is supporting the petition. Hypocrisy in action.
Clinton Seeks “Human Rights” improvements in VietNam
Actually the first real human rights improvements came after the French/American Puppet Saigon Government torture freaks were sent into exile. What does Ms Hillary think we're going to do, threaten to go in and get whupped by them yet a second time? Maybe if she could get U.S. troops, and Cops, over whom she has at least SOME nominal authority, to just freakin' QUIT KILLING PEOPLE for such crimes as Dissent, Dark Skin Color, and of course my personal favorite, Dissenting While Dark... at home and in the Conquered errr "Liberated" Territories. Hill, baby, Lead By Example. Because the Pentagon ain't gonna be able to take over any more countries. They won't even be able to hold the ones they've got so far. Meanwhile, a nation taking retribution against criminals who collaborated with the Occupiers isn't in any way abnormal. Oh, and Hillary, about that "lead by example" thing... Free Bradley Manning. Among many others but you do understand that High Profile Political Prisoners do attract a lot of attention to the Raw Hypocritical Hubris of instructing Other Nations in how to deal humanely with people.
More Cheney heart(less) Surgery… so remember the rule
Dance first, THEN piss...(mustn't get our shoes all wet and stinky) He hasn't, alas, made the journey yet. He is however having more surgeries, mostly because he's stupid and arrogant and won't follow medical advice. Like not getting drunk while using his pacemaker. It's worth notice that he received care unavailable to any other American who, unlike him, hasn't got a trillion dollars in stolen money stashed in his corporate coffers. Americans of his age and outrageously stupid health-maintenance habits. His money only borrowed extra time to add up more points against his Immortal Soul taking the old "up" elevator. People who have to depend on either Corporate Health "care" or Medicare/Medicaid/CHAMPVA/TriCare would be refused such treatment if they behave as stupidly as he does. Or, and much more importantly, if they just don't happen to be in a position of political power or extreme (stolen) wealth, thus the Corporate Medical Establishment doesn't consider their lives to be worth saving. Something Mr Cheney "heart"ily endorses. His lawyer-friend, the one from that infamous incident where they were both so drunk that Cheney couldn't tell the difference between a 200 pound Corrupt Texas Lawyer and a 2 pound bird... (Cheney says "Duck!" and his accomplice jumps up and says "Where?") might take the ferry-ride across Styx on the same trip. One can only hope, mostly because it would be amusing to think of Cheney trying to get his lawyer to plea-bargain for him. My hope, in the off chance that there is no Hell awaiting him, is that he takes a few days to die. And in as much pain as any of the Torture Victims whose "enhanced interrogation" sessions he and Bush watched as porn.
Sarah Palin a rotten mother
She parades her youngest son around, the kid she gets subsidized health care for, unlike, say, kids with similar disabilities, born instead to poor parents , in states, unlike Alaska, without Socialized Medicine and without an annual check just for being a resident. She uses him as a prop to push her agenda, actually the agenda of Corporations for whom she's merely a SpokesWhore. Corporations which will refuse to allow such children to live. Much the way she, and others in her TeaBag Party and their Corporate sponsor the Republican Party, say they would have taken up a collection to pay the in perpetuity Medical Bills for Terri Schiavo. But, of course, deny life prolonging medical care for anybody Who Doesn't Happen To Be A "Token" Handicapped For Their Agenda Which is what the TeaBags have been screaming long and loud to keep as the Law of the Land for the past year. Tea Party Agenda: Disabled? F.O.A.D. No insurance? F.O.A.D. Have insurance but Insurance Corporate Death Panels decide not to cover you? F.O.A.D. I know I'm not supposed to expose Republican and TeaBag hypocrisy without also attacking Democrats. Too bad. Want a pretense of Fair and Balanced, slide on over to the Fox News Website or some other Corporate Mouthpieces. The Republican TeaBags have been out screaming that people like ME should just F.O.A.D., People like Martha, people like Tony, people like Miss Johnnie, and not a single one of the TeaBags is actually a Democrat. The D's might have their unfair share of Hypocrites, but then, they've got people like ME as well. The Republicans and TeaBags can't say that and don't even want to say that. The TeaBags stand around with guns loudly proclaiming that they have a legal Constitutional Right and duty to Kill people who are "enemies of the Constitution" and the "enemies of the Constitution" as defined by Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, includes Anybody who speaks against the TeaBag agenda. The only reason they haven't shot or hanged more Americans, (and the Beck and Palin worship Cult of the Fox HAVE killed Americans in several high profile attacks, including at least two In CHURCHES and the hanging of Bill Sparkman in a remote cemetery, and the killings of the Flores family especially the 9 year old American CHILD) is because their Cowardice matches their Hypocrisy in intensity. Oh, and they weren't sincere in their offers to care for Terri Schiavo either. They lie so frequently, though, that some of them actually believe their own lies.
Hannity spinning, spinning, just not, alas, in his grave… yet.
Plenty of time for that though. All his Ill Gotten Gold won't save him. The Pope, the one Hannity and others praised for "saving the Catholic Church from a Marxist rebellion"... having a little bit of trouble. However are they going to spin that against their previous comments about Liberation Theology being "destroyed" by a pastoral letter written before he was a Cardinal? What I as a Christian object to is that many will see ALL Christians as being represented by such Bigoted Capitalist Thieves like Hannity and the rest of the crew at Fox News and their Fellow Travellers. Like the Klan and THEIR subsidiary the Tea Party. Nice bunch of fellows they're promoting as being the Next Leaders of America. With, of course, Hegemony, ordained by God, Himself, over the entire world. Which is what Liberation Theology opposes. With no blessing at all from his "holiness" Poop Been-a-dick.
Remember the horrendous scandal and the Media Blitz(es) That followed?
Mark Sanford, Governor of South Carolina... Used government money to finance Argentine Tryst. A full Seven Hours every day for a month analyzing the story and berating him.... woops didn't happen... Sorry. Senator Larry Craig, (R) Idaho (I da pimp! bad joke) practicing the unsafest of all Sex Acts, random anonymous sex, in a Mens Room at the Minneapolis Airport, Married, family man, cheating on his wife. They followed him everywhere, then when he disappeared they staked out his boat, his house, his mom's house and his kids school trying to get pictures of him... ooopsie... That didn't happen either. Bob Allen of Florida, State Representative, (R) in a men's room repeatedly, so afraid of Black Dudes raping and robbing him that he followed them into the John and paid them 20 a piece to fellate them... Married, Cheating on his wife... When he went in to Sex Rehab the National Enquirer poked cameras into every opening in the fence looking to catch a picture of him. Nope, not that either... My favorite, Vitter of Louisiana getting caught with his diapers down... He of "Family Values" and Unimpeachable Morals fame. All of them, when they apologized, did so clearly, succinctly and humbly, then submitted themselves to the questions of the repor... Wait a minute. None of them apologized, at all, ever. Since they were all members of the Bu'ush Regime and active supporters of the War Of Terror, their actions DID affect more than just their families and thus, they DID owe America an apology. Not merely for being Sexual Hypocrites, but for the God-Damn 8 year killing Spree "their" troops have been engaged in. That's pretty damn major. All of them made a big hoo-hah over criminalizing Sex between Consenting Adults and de-criminalizing Hate Crimes. (not just the Hate Crimes against gay People either) None of them bothered with Rehab, none of them hounded and their families hounded for what's now 3 Freakin' Months, mon... nothing at all like what a guy who plays the dorkiest game in existence for a living is subjected to. People PAY the government officials for leadership and for being Role Models for their kids. It's one of the Job REQUIREMENTS for Christ's Sake. But a guy who plays a game for a living, is really required to do nothing but smack a very small ball with a very crooked stick into a very small hole that's anywhere between 75 and 200 yards away. And do it consistently. It doesn't matter if they have a messed up politicial, social or personal life. Some of the courses he plays on had never had a Black golfer in any of their tournaments EVER when he started. Some of them at the time still forbad blacks to actually play there, pay to play there, with no chance at winning money. So why the anger? Are they really such shitty parents that they need a middle aged black man who they've never met to be a Role Model for their piglets? Since WHEN? Would they walk into the Midnight
Why does Glenn Beck “Hate” the 9/11 families who ask questions?
Certainly can't be that they're "Conspiracy Theorists". His buffoonery about the Health Care Reform being "Government Death Panels" and the Rockefeller Plaza Secret Bolshevik Symbols rants, that kind of set him in a class by himself vis-a-vis Really Lunatic Conspiracy Theories. Maybe it's because the 9/11 Truth-out questions aren't looney from toony. Like, for instance, the Birth Certificate theory. Admittedly, that's pushed more by his Fellow Travellers in the R.W. Lunatic Fringe Rush Limbaugh and Jerome Corsi and the "we're not Nazis, we just use their imagery and tactics and pal around with Neo-Nazi Terrorist Groups like the Klan" Stormfront. The ones who "busted" the supposedly forged Bush service records. Provided to the news outlets by whom? Corsi doesn't say, but he is an expert on forgery, or so he claims. And he was the one who provided the Forged Kenyan birth certificates. But with the Bush documents, the Right Wing Hate-Speechers successfully deflected certain inquiries into their ChickenHawk Credentials, which are impeccable. Any question, for example, of why Rush Limbaughs brother David didn't get drafted, or George Bush's brother Jeb... are met with the whole flock of Right Wing Sheeple chanting "Forged Birth Certificate good, forged Service Records Baaaaaadddd". Glenn Beck and indeed the entire cast and crew of Fox Hate Networks taking tax exemptions, getting paid through the back door, for their "support" for the families of the Military Men they sent to war with THEIR LIES, allegedly donating their own money to the U.S.O. Only, the money they "donated" was given right back to them on their next tax returns. Lying ChickenHawk Hypocrites get paid to cheerlead the For-Profit War which they helped start, by repeating the same LIES told by the Bu'ush Regime Rogue State Terrorists. Send the kids off to war based on their lies, make a profit from it, Lie about supporting the troops and make a second profit from the people who actually DO pay their taxes. Then say they stand for the American Taxpayer. ***Oh, as for Rush's brother and Bush's brothers... There's a draft exemption for people whose brothers had served in combat. That's expanded to "combat zone" even if they never fired a shot. Rush Limbaugh got out of the draft because he had a pimple in his ass. "Anal Cyst" according to his doctor. So he didn't serve in a Combat Zone. His brother many years later, when criticizing Anika Stormgren for playing in a Golf Tournament, said that Pro Golfers such as himself were Well Conditioned Healthy Athletes. So, how does a Well Conditioned Healthy Athlete like himself avoid the draft? If his brother had serv... oh. Same with George Bush Sr buying George (co)W(ard) an exemption from combat duty even though his job specialty (and commensurate rank and pay) has the word "combat" in the description. No Combat Zone, so... How did George HW get his other Chickenshit Chickenhawk son out of the war? And the fact that nobody from the Right Wing makes any pretense of concern that G.W. hasn't actually brought forth any evidence or documentation, even Forged. Maybe Corsi could help him out there. Of course, that's
Coward Ass Romney praising Bush, blasting Obama.
Remember, he's the one who said he couldn't enlist in the Army because of his missionary duty. Lying puke. His sons, in his campaign, said they had more important things to do, like getting Daddy elected. When he didn't even get the nomination, they didn't join the Babykilling War For Profit that Mr Bush started and they and their Coward Ass Daddy promoted. Like Coward-ass Father, Like Coward-ass sons. Mormon ChickenHawk also said that only the Private Corporations who pay his bribes can save America.
Silly Sarah tries to make political hay from Family Guy episode.
Yeah, right. Mrs Palin, the problem is that Family Guy pokes fun at you and makes references to your Nazi and other White Supremacist ties. Try to wrap it in some kind of concern for the Disabled, your opposition to Adequate Health Care killed any chance at that, babe. Just like your Tantrum Party and you, opposing health care, kill Americans at the rate of 130 a day (generously low estimate) and every single one of them Disabled. Silly Sarah, Presidency is for somebody intelligent. Not a Corporate Suck who chants Oil Company slogans then claims to stand up to Big Oil. We've already recently de-installed one Oil Company Suck, his picture is at the upper left. Your fake concern for Disabled people is as insulting, more so, than any joke on any television show. We don't need your pity, and we don't need your so-called advocacy, and we most definitely don't need your Sick, Murdering Tea Party to be running our country.
They went out Tiger hunting, with their elephants and guns…
... and Paul, Ringo and the estates of John and George are gonna sue me... But in the Smokescreen Media, where rumors of a Black Man having sex is more important than massive firepower being thrown at what was the poorest country on earth, until they dismantled the economy of Haiti, well... They have to do SOMETHING to distract people from such unimportant stuff like the Former First "lady" Clinton saying that IRAN has a military dictatorship, while and at the same time the U.S. Army is busy dismantling the Local Government in Helmand Province and replacing it with a U.S. Military Dictatorship. At an undisclosed price vis-avis Loss of Human Life. The Army says Ooops, 12 civilians blown to hell by one of their "Smart" Bombs. They don't say how many were children, my guess is "all". If I'm wrong, Prove it. They're also only reporting ONE incident. That usually means they did a lot of OOPSIE moments. Hey, hey, USA How Many Civilian Kids did you Kill Today? So, they're recycling the Tiger Woods crap, "How DARE that uppity negro have sex with more than one person? Doesn't he know that because he can play golf very well, he's supposed to be a Role Model for our kids?" Because, you know, the Haters SERIOUSLY aren't good Role Models, so they have to set up somebody who doesn't even KNOW their kids as a Role Model. Look how well their efforts to be "role models" to kids in Afghanistan are panning out. "Now, Kids, if you insist on following your own culture which is several thousand years older than ours, and believing that your culture and religious mores are every bit as good as Our Superior White-Oriented Culture, then we'll have to snuff your uppity little brown arses" And of course do it in the name of Christ and Freedom. And smokescreen it with lurid stories of a Black man having sex with white women.
G7 vow to cancel Haiti Debt…
30 years too late. Mighty white of them. Swiss courts delayed announcing their decision, hours before the Earthquake, to reinstate the money stolen from Haiti by the Dvalier family, with the help of the CIA and Pentagon, and Swiss banks along with other multinational banking Corporations, to the Duvaliers. Not to Haiti. One Swiss official said that it's customary to wait several weeks before announcing court decisions. My take on it is that G7 and Credite Suisse and the IMF and World Bank would have been perfectly content keeping Haiti twisting in the wind forever or until the Haitian People collectively sold themselves back into odious hateful humiliating Slavery with the condition that they every morning en-masse they would have to issue a sincere apology for ever declaring themselves to be a free people.
