Ironic, no? That at least some of the uber-repressed moralistic gay- and atheist-banning motherfuckers are pedophiles, just like all of the other moralistic hypocrites running around out there.
Mmm… schadenfreude
Suburban Guerrilla links to a tape from some woman in California who got the wrong cheeseburger…
so she called 911.
No, I am not making this up.
911: Then I suggest you get your money back and go somewhere else. This, this is not a criminal issue. We can’t go out there and make them make you a cheeseburger the way you want it.
CALLER: *stunned* Well….that is, that, you’re supposed to be here to protect me.
911: Well what are we protecting you from, a wrong cheeseburger?
Gee, you think the caller dials 911 frequently? Sure feels like it to me. This has all the marks of a recidivist 911er… REpeeaat OH-fender.
UPDATE (for the speaker-less): transcript
I see no other way to read this press release.
Mrs. Schiavo’s death is a moral poverty and a legal tragedy. This loss happened because our legal system did not protect the people who need protection most, and that will change. The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior, but not today. Today we grieve, we pray, and we hope to God this fate never befalls another. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Schindlers and with Terri Schiavo’s friends in this time of deep sorrow.
Isn’t that a terrorist threat punishable by detainment without right to counsel under the “PATRIOT” act?
UPDATE: Yes, yes it is. 18 U.S.C. ยง115 (a)(1)(B)
All 117 people named can thank my ass for pointing the finger at them. If I had recognized my godlike powers earlier I would have been far more capricious and arbitrary.
You know, I’ve been so busy I totally missed the passing of Johnnie Cochran.
Farewell, Johnnie. You were a hell of an attorney.

During the bamboozlepalooza tour (Bush faux “save SS” plan), which is funded by our tax dollars, which are public events… the secret service is removing people. People who have done nothing wrong. People who aren’t even being disruptive.
One guy wore a Democratic t-shirt. Another group had a “No blood for oil” bumper sticker on their car.
This, my peoples, is what happens in a tyranny.
The three said they had obtained tickets through the office of Rep. Bob Beauprez, R-Colo., had passed through security and were preparing to take their seats when they were approached by what they thought was a Secret Service agent who asked them to leave.
One woman, Karen Bauer, 38, a marketing coordinator from Denver, said Monday the agent put his hand on her elbow and steered her away from her seat and toward an exit.
“The Secret Service had nothing to do with that,” said Lon Garner, special agent in charge of the Secret Service office in Denver. “We are very sensitive to the First Amendment and general assembly rights as protected by the Constitution.”
does it starve, or does it get fat?
List of Schiavo Donors Will Be Sold by Direct-Marketing Firm
The parents of Terri Schiavo have authorized a conservative direct-mailing firm to sell a list of their financial supporters, making it likely that thousands of strangers moved by her plight will receive a steady stream of solicitations from anti-abortion and conservative groups.
“These compassionate pro-lifers donated toward Bob Schindler’s legal battle to keep Terri’s estranged husband from removing the feeding tube from Terri,” says a description of the list on the Web site of the firm, Response Unlimited, which is asking $150 a month for 6,000 names and $500 a month for 4,000 e-mail addresses of people who responded last month to an e-mail plea from Ms. Schiavo’s father. “These individuals are passionate about the way they value human life, adamantly oppose euthanasia and are pro-life in every sense of the word!”
Hahaha! Oh, man. This makes my day. Days, even. Enjoy the junk mail, fools!
A thief has stolen a computer laptop containing personal information about nearly 100,000 University of California at Berkeley alumni, graduate students and past applicants, continuing a recent outbreak of security breakdowns that has illustrated society’s growing vulnerability to identity theft.
Why the fuck was that info on a laptop, anyway? It couldn’t have been a spreadsheet (max rows: 65k, if you’re using Excel), so unless someone is reading a lot of reports and needs them all rightnowthisinstant, there’s no reason for that data to be on something as portable as a laptop. Idiots.
Oh, and if this wasn’t California, the victims never would have been told. Who knows where else the same thing has happened.
Stop Bolton website. Watch the video… why is this man our ambassador to the UN?
Amazing. This is almost like putting one of the primary architects for the illegal and inhumane invasion of Iraq with no financial experience in charge of the World Bank. But no one would ever do that, now, would they?
Alterman has the details, but here’s the lede:
The United States of America, under the leadership of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, is operating a police state at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere in military and secret prisons throughout the world, where innocent people are being jailed, tortured and sometimes murdered without concern for their guilt or innocence. This is not empty, anti-American rhetoric, it is verifiable truth, and aside from the moral revulsion it causes in anyone who claims to be interested in such matters, it also undermines any claims we might have to the moral leadership of the world community. Do I exaggerate? I think not. Does anyone care? You can bet the rest of the world does.
The Weekly World News weighs in with “news” that Dick Cheney was a nude model in college.
TV reporter earned money from state…
Mike Vasilinda, a 30-year veteran of the Tallahassee press corps, does public relations work and provides film editing services to more than a dozen state agencies.
His Tallahassee company, Mike Vasilinda Productions Inc., has earned more than $100,000 over the past four years through contracts with Gov. Jeb Bush’s office, the Secretary of State, the Department of Education and other government entities that are routinely part of Vasilinda’s stories.
Vasilinda also was paid to work on campaign ads for at least one politician and to create a promotional movie for Leon County. One of his biggest state contracts was a 1996 deal that paid nearly $900,000 to air the weekly drawing for the Florida Lottery.
heh. Some people have entirely too much time on their hands.
Then again, when you’ve only got one mouse button, you’ve probably got the time and tendencies to think of shit like this. Good times.
but the police uphold the Rule of Law… this time.
Hours after a judge ordered that Terri Schiavo was not to be removed from her hospice, a team of state agents were en route to seize her and have her feeding tube reinserted — but they stopped short when local police told them they would enforce the judge’s order, The Herald has learned.
The America myth I grew up with would never have had a oligopoly attempting to impose their undemocratic will upon the people in contravention of the law. What the hell happened?
Home of the brave? sure.
Land of the free? hardly.
Kudos to the police guarding the hospice. Thanks for allowing me to keep some of my faith.
