Andre Moore isn’t exactly a brain-surgeon, he’s pretty much a fucking moron, he was tossed in jail after he posted a youtube video that allegedly incited violence against the police in Filthydelphia. One of the charges, aggravated assault. What the fuck? Let’s take a step back here.
Andre is/was a security officer at a medical center in Philly, and evidently had a beef with the Philly police. As an outlet of his obvious red-hot frustration, he posted a hate filled video that promoted violence against the cops. A quote from the video (click here for full article):
When you shoot the cops, you shoot them dead
I’m not sure that qualifies as aggrataved assault. Here is wikipedia’s definition of aggravated assault:
causes such injury purposely, knowingly, or recklessly in circumstances where the person has exhibited indifference to human life; or
attempts or causes bodily injury to another person with a deadly weapon.
In another stroke of moronic genius, Andre the fucktard had his 12 year old son film the video. So slap on a corruption of minors charge.
My problem with this is obviously a free speech issue. Is Andre a despicable person? You bet. Are his rants and rages protected speech? Hell yes. If we allow our government to decide the line between protected and unprotected speech, then we are on a very steep and very slippery slope with a bunch of bible-beating book burners waiting for us at the bottom.
I wonder, should they have arrested Ice Cube, Easy-E, and Dr. Dre for “fuck tha police”?
Ice Cube will swarm
On any muthafucka in a blue uniform
Just cuz I’m from the CPT, punk police are afraid of me
A young nigga on a warpath
And when I’m finished, it’s gonna be a bloodbath
Of cops, dyin in LA
That shit is protected too, and fucking NWA rules.
The following quote from CNN.com completely encapsulates how fucking stupid our asshole president is… new estimates are that the war will cost 2.7 trillion dollars and thousands and thousands of lives… nuff said:
U.S. President George W. Bush claimed Wednesday that he had no regrets about the decision to invade Iraq and topple Saddam Hussein in 2003 and reiterated his determination to force Iran to halt its nuclear program.
Say it isn’t so, our bullshit government has engaged in propaganda activity directly on US soil? The New York Times had a very interesting article yesterday titled: “Behind TV Analysts, Pentagon’s Hidden Hand“. No, the hidden hand wasn’t up Bush’s mostly retarded ass as I had originally guessed, it is actually in your pocket and mine, as well as up the skirts of school girls (the Pentagon is a dirty dirty place full of creepy pederasts). The article is a great read and goes into detail how the Bush Administration uses former military officials, who are now mostly tied up with the private sector defense industry, as embedded puppets at the major TV news outlets. Big surprise, FoxNews had the highest number of these ass-clowns followed by NBC, CNN, CBS and ABC. One warning, the article is fucking 11 pages long, most of us don’t have the attention span or time to dedicate to an article that long, but it was worth the extra minutes for me.
We all know suspect that the information flowing from the Bush Administration is bullshit, but now there is solid evidence of an information tampering program initiated by the assholes in charge of the country. They brought these “independent” analysts in and held private briefings with them with the exact message points the administration wanted to get out and then deployed them to the networks. And this shit works.
Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime performance, an examination by The New York Times has found.
The effort, which began with the buildup to the Iraq war and continues to this day, has sought to exploit ideological and military allegiances, and also a powerful financial dynamic: Most of the analysts have ties to military contractors vested in the very war policies they are asked to assess on air.
I really fucking hate this administration. And, I’m not sure if our government is realistically fixable.
Or at least heading in that direction. I’m referring of course to our civilization. The answer to the question of “What caused the fall of Rome” has no real answer, however it had some dominant factors like population in decline, incompetent and corrupt political system, and economic crisis… we are fitting the bill fairly nicely. For me it is those factors plus the unbelievable shit that we as a population get into. For example, check out this disturbing motherfucking shit out:
I’m a little more than half way through the book Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army, and I’ve come to an interesting hypothesis. The privatization of the US Armed Services is taking free market economics (i.e., laissez-faire) too far. In general I’m actually in favor of more privatization, especially on the services side of government like the DMV, Lottery, Toll Roads, tax, schools, etc if the proper oversight, controls and requirements are in place. But the military? I’m not so sure about that. Do we want a private army (or several) fully armed with free reign to kill that sits outside of both our military and civilian justice systems? I recommend that you read this book, it is guaranteed to piss you off no matter where you lie on the political spectrum (full disclosure, it is a left leaning book, but well cited and written). This book will give you an insider view on how corrupt and arrogant our current administration is, and how a few people have the power to mold and create policy to profit their buddies and themselves.
I was reading a CNN.com article about the new sinful behaviors listed by the Vatican this morning with my 17 month old son on my lap, when the whole pope vs. poop argument began (click here for full article). This was the conversation with my son: I said while pointing at a picture of the Pope, “Look it’s the pope!”, he said “POOP!”, I replied “no, no… it’s POPE, not POOP”, he then started shrieking “POOP POOP POOP POOP!!!”. I’m not sure who won the argument.   The article noted:
A Vatican official has listed drugs, pollution and genetic manipulations as well as social and economic injustices as new areas of sinful behavior.
Well holy schniekies batman look out for an avalanche of bullshit. My head is spinning right now.  Drugs, what about alcohol? Hello!!!?? wine anybody? Pollution? I’m sure the Vatican doesn’t pollute as it is a small city, as well as all of the franchise churches spanning the globe, and how long has it been that being a dick makes it a sin? Genetic manipulations, since when has the church been afraid of science? I’m actually surprised they didn’t make the belief in evolution a sin. Social and Economic injustices… well this one just takes the cake. How many millions and billions of people were killed and tortured in the name of God and the church over the years? And the church itself has set itself up to be an elite society (and extremely affluent).
Are we missing something? I know, how about the priests sucking on the alter boy’s peckers? The article mentioned this:
Girotti said the Catholic Church continued to be concerned by other sinful acts, including abortion and pedophilia.
He said Church authorities had reacted with rigorous measures to child abuse scandals within the clergy, but he also claimed that the issue had been excessively emphasized by the media.
What was that? I couldn’t hear you Girotti, I nearly drowned from a tsunami of horse-shit and was hurling up road apples. Replace the words “rigorous measures to” with “covering up the” in the sentence above for a more accurate statement.
Come to think of it… I have a pretty smart 17 month old son.
Mukasey Mukasey Mukasey….. The Attorney General Michael Mukasey once again tap-danced around the issue if waterboarding was illegal and technically torture as he was grilled on the subject in front of the Senate yesterday. I know this is lame, but I’m going to quote myself from a post I did on this subject in October when this human waste of skin was going through the nomination/confirmation process. I said:
 I have an idea, let’s line up Bushy-poo, Cheney, Rice, Mr. Mukasey and all of the other neo-con war-birds who are for these methods and have them undergo “alternative†questioning. After they are interrogated, we’ll poll them to see if they felt they were tortured.
As a coincidence, the Senate Democrats asked a question of Mukasey during the hearing and received this answer (Click here for full ABCnews.com article):
“Would waterboarding be torture if it was done to you?”
“I would feel that it was,” Mukasey answered.
It all really boils down to this, if Mukasey declares officially that waterboarding is torture and illegal, the CIA will be liable for litigation for performing this in the past, this is a cover up and CYA move by the assholes in charge of this country. The problem is there is a loose definition of what torture is, it mostly includes what you can’t do (maim, rape, burn, etc. etc.). An exclusionary list of things will never work effectively as the CIA or other clandestine organizations will always be able to come up with creative ideas of torture that aren’t technically torture by the legal definitions.
I have another idea, let’s strap Mukasey down to a board, I will have prepared for a month by working out and sitting in a sauna daily, AND will not shower for the month. I will then dip my balls on his face (classic T-bag maneuver), he can then tell me if that is torture or not as it technically isn’t prohibited.
Who does Bush and his cronies think he is fooling? The Bush administration is desperate to salvage a legacy and take the focus off of the epic failures in foreign policy, domestic policy, and the failures in Iraq (let alone the incredible damage to the economy). Bushy-poo the benevolent, will now bring peace to the Palestinians and Israelis, he will finally bring peace where many many others have failed. Does the plan to have a Palestinian-Israeli peace accord by the end of 2008 seem a bit to convenient to you? I’m actually insulted that this administration thinks so little of the American people. Click here for a CNN.com propaganda article regarding the peace process.
Dr. Jan Adams, douchebag, tool… douche-tool. Why would you go on national live television to say you will not talk about an event publicly (and thus surprising the host Larry King)? The answer, because you’re a fucking ass-wad. He could have written a letter, sent an email, used semaphore, had a private conversation, basically, he could have communicated to Larry King his position in a myriad of ways but he chose to put himself on TV. This asshole probably thinks he’s doing the noble thing and will look good respecting the wishes of the West family, sure, but do it off the air. The real answer, because YOU WANTED TO BE ON TV, attention whore.
Former Atlantic City Mayor Robert Levy has plead guilty to bilking the Veteran’s Affairs department of nearly $25K. More from a story posted on CNN.com:
The 60-year-old Democrat claimed he was awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge and the Parachutists Badge and successfully completed the Airborne School with more than 100 jumps.
He claimed that he had twice been abandoned in the jungle by his troops for several weeks, which he cited as the basis for suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
It turns out that Levy claimed he was in the Green Berets in Vietnam when he was actually enlisted only. I guess he was dreaming big after watching First Blood and Rambo First Blood Part II, hell I pretended to be a Ninja after all of the ’80’s Ninja movies, but then again, I wasn’t elected mayor of AC.
What is really surprising (so far) is that this is the only corruption reported on this clown.
