What a bumper week for racism worldwide. Seven out of the ten nominees this week all did something racist or just plain evil. Donald Sterling (8) gained a lot of press, but he's only #8 this week. Which means seven other asshats did some dumb-fuckery that is even worse than his openly ignorant racism. Ever want to just pull the covers over your head and go back to bed. Last week was it. And as always, don't forget the key. Also, there is a lot of caustic language in this article this week. If you don't like it, don't complain about it. Just click off this article and don't read it.

Russia today seems all set to restart the Cold War and even seems to want to make it a Hot War. They have basically brought Ukraine to their knees, they are saber rattling with the United States who wants Russia to leave Crimea. . .they are actively putting gay people into prison and, apparently, a few in the their government now advocate raping female journalists. What?
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Vladimir Zhironovsky, of the pro-Kremlin Liberal Democratic Party, launched into an animated tirade against RT journalist Stella Dubovitskaya, who is six months pregnant after she asked him an innocuous questions about possible sanctions against the pro-Western government of Ukraine, according to the Daily Mail.
Responding to her question, Zhironovsky grabbed two of his male aides, telling them, When I say, you run to her and violently rape her before shoving them in her direction and shouting: Go and kiss her. Grab her.
Usually, when a government sanctions rape as a political weapon, they do so quietly in order to have the ability to deny knowledge and say it was isolated. But in today's world, fuck it. . .rape the shit out of any woman who dares to open her smart little mouth. Skull fuck her too. And do it in public too. Nothing will happen. She was asking for it. . She was born with two X chromosomes. If she didn't want to be raped, she's have an X and a Y. Serves her ass right.
Notice this wonderful example of humanity, Vladimir Zhironovsky, didn't point to a male journalist and say the same thing. . .that would be homosexual, and gayness is illegal in Russia thanks to the non homo-erotic president for life Vladimir Pootie-Poo Putin. Also, maybe Zhironovsky thought trying to rape a male journalist might get his ass kicked, but telling his staff to rape a six month pregnant woman would gain him huge credibility in his circle o'scumbags.

To which, Zhironovsky responded because I can.
One thing that's bugging the writer of this feature. . .the term Liberal Democratic Party. It's a fucking brand name. Abe Shinzo's party in Japan is also called the LDP, and it's even more right wing than the teabaggers are here. Maybe they think if they called their party the Conservative Jingoistic Party, they would get no members. The article even says the LDP of Russia is far right.
Also in Russia, apparently the act of supporting Ukraine is also ground for arrest for war crimes.

Russian Internet channel Life News posted video of her being escorted by masked men in combat gear and of an activist saying she was under arrest.
The channel showed a woman it said was Krat, her face hidden by a scarf, saying in Ukrainian: "They detained me but they are treating me all right. They will check the reports I've filed and then they'll decide when to let me go."
Maybe the LDP will advocate raping Irma Krat too. There's the person who thinks Russia should get out of Ukraine. Cornhole her until she sees the error of her thinking.
So, all people with brains. . .when planning a vacation, remember there are 1000s of place to go that seem to be better than Russia now. Zimbabwe is looking good. And who can forget the fun and sun of Pyongyang. But, if Russia is where you want to go, don't be a woman and don't be gay. And don't say anything that Pootie-Poo might not like. . .don't be black, don't be American. . .yadda, yadda, yadda.

Jan Barta, the owner of news server Extra.cz, which publishes untruthful articles that unleash hatred against Romani people and makes big profits in the process, has run as a Green Party (Strana zelených - SZ) candidate in the past. According to Jan áček, the SZ party's press spokesperson, Barta does not interfere with the editorial content of the media outlet he owns.
Yes, a racist asshole runs a racist newspaper propaganda mill for the ignorant masses too stupid to realize they are being played. Like the American right wing. They don't realize the people they support (GOP in Congress, Fatass Limbaugh, Man hands Ann Coulter, Sean the Fuck) are playing them for chumps because they don't really believe what they say and spout. Jan Barta is another example of the racist hustle. And it works! Make money of people's illogical fears and bigotry. Those interested, look up the Camp Grant Massacre and see how Arizonans like Samuel Hughes, William Oury, Sidney DeLong and John Wasson made millions whipping people up into a murderous frenzy in 1871.

One of our main points is that the media are divorced from reality and are adapting their news reporting to meet the (real or imagined) demands of their listeners, readers and viewers.
The driving force behind this lack of ethical behavior is a desire for the greatest possible profits irrespective of what is essential to the craft and mission of journalism. Our point has now been confirmed by the editor-in-chief of one of the most-read tabloids in the Czech Republic. Novotný has admitted that his publication intentionally emphasizes Romani ethnicity in its reporting. He says the word "Rom", when used in a negative connotation, increases readership and therefore profits.
Emphasis mine.
Thank you Rupert Murdoch. You have made this happen. . .you and that fat slob Roger Ailes. You two fuckers have completely destroyed journalism.

The Top Ten comes back to the States for entry number three by going to State College, Pennsylvania. Remember Jerry Sandusky, that wonderfully successful football coach that won many football games for Penn State University while also molesting as many boys as he could while his boss, Joe Paterno, turned a blind eye to it all because his fame and money was more important than the safety of children.
Well, Paterno resigned in disgrace, died quickly and his hopefully rotting in hell while Sandusky is rotting in prison. . .but that doesn't stop the disgrace from continuing. Apparently, to some in State College, enough time has passed and it's now time to honor Paterno with another statue honoring Joe Paterno.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Tired of waiting, several State College residents say they are moving forward with plans to bring their own statue of the man to downtown State College.
This is something we can do on our own schedule, said Ted Sebastianelli, a candidate for the Penn State board of trustees and one of the locals behind an effort to create a new Paterno statue. We dont have to wait.
One thing Penn State University did right was to quickly divorce itself from Paterno and remove all reminders of him But apparently, winning football games are more important than a legacy of being a child molestation enabler.
Imagine. . .years from now, people will look at that statue and say he was protecting a notorious child molester, but he won Penn State so many games. Fuck children. They are replaceable. Winning football games is more important.
If Penn State Board of Trustee voters are smart, for advocating another statue, Ted Sebastianelli will get exactly one vote. . .his!

Two years since all of this is enough time. Get over it, victims. Grow up! Next time, don't be so prudish to deny a pervert his perversion. It's your fault it happened. Now let's go watch some football.
If Sebastianelli truly want this statue, let's be honest with its design: Have a standing Paterno with a blind man's cane holding a national championship trophy while Sandusky bends over with his pants around his ankles while a scared boy tries to escape. . .then put it to a backdrop of cheering Penn State fans and dignitaries turning a blind eye and deaf ear because winning the NCAA Championship is more important than a fucking child molester and his enabler boss!
Fuck Joe Paterno! And the writer is a HUGE football fan.

The United States has sided completely on the side of Ukraine in this crisis and has threatened Russia with sanctions. Being the strong country they are, Russia decided to puff it's chest and do the same thing, threatening retaliation against the United States for daring to question the AWESOME might of a country that pretty much is run by their organized crime syndicates.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Russia will retaliate for the new sanctions imposed by the United States over the alleged Moscow's involvement into the crisis in Ukraine, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Monday.
"We will respond, of course. There are possibilities for such a response and there is a wide set of measures," Interfax news agency quoted the diplomat as saying.
Those measures include holding their breath until they turn blue in the face, stomping their feet on the ground, whining about still being a big boy and asking their buddy China to come to their aid against the big bully Americans because Ukraine is little Russia and Russia needs lebensraum. . .I mean, well, you know.

Really? No one has that right. Okay. Isolate yourselves behind another iron curtain and try to survive. Russia, listen closely. . .you aren't a world leader anymore. That ended in 1991. When communism fell apart.
In 1989, there were over 40 communist countries in the world. . .today, there are only five. . .four are in Asia and one of them (China) is CINO. . .communist-in-name-only. You have no power, Russia. ZERO! Zilch. You're now the tail trying to wag the dog.

But invading another country and taking parts of it because you need living space is okay. Why Ukraine even deals with Russia surprises me.

Now that he's won a confrontation with the Bureau of Land Management over grazing his cattle on federal land, Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy has time to hold court on everything from abortion to the current state of "the Negro." Bundy made some racially charged comments about government assistancein his daily news conference Saturday, according to a New York Times storypublished Wednesday.
I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro, the rancher began as he described a "government house" in Las Vegas where he recalled that all the people who sat outside seemed to "have nothing to do." And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do? he said, as quoted by the Times. They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And Ive often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didnt get no more freedom. They got less freedom.
Whoops. Normally, racists wants to mask their racism in nice language that sounds like they can deny their racist leanings. Now a man who has a massive ego and a God complex. He hits the grand slam of racism, saying blacks were better as slaves, using the word negro and channeling George Fitzhugh and Cannibals All.
I wonder how his supporters think about this hero now.

What he said then: Abbott didn't come out in defense of Bundy so much as his ideas he used the media attention surrounding the Bundy stand off to highlight federal land claims in his home state. "I am deeply concerned about the notion that the Bureau of Land Management believes the federal government has the authority to swoop in and take land that has been owned and cultivated by Texas landowners for generations," Abbott wrote in a letter to the BLM this week. The letter echoed Bundy's language, as he argued his family has also owned the land for generations.
What he's saying now: Laura Bean, Abbott's spokeswoman, told the Times that the letter was regarding a dispute in Texas and is in no way related to the dispute in Nevada.

What he said then: Like Abbott, Paul focused more on the policy issue. "There is a legitimate constitutional question here about whether the state should be in charge of endangered species or whether the federal government should be," Paul told Fox News earlier this week. "But I don't think name calling is going to calm this down," he added, referring to Reid's "domestic terrorists" remark.
What he's saying now: Nothing. Paul's team said he was unavailable for comment. (Update 9:55 am: His remarks on race are offensive and I wholeheartedly disagree with him, Paul said in a statement.)

"The complicated nature of the law is a huge problem here, as it is when we deal with things like tax law," Cain wrote on his website last week. "Thats why I have sympathy for Mr. Bundy. His issue with the BLM reminds me of one I had 20 years ago with the IRS."

Democrats "will never come out and say to you there are too many Asians at Berkeley, but that's what the bill was all about," Kashkari said of Senate Constitutional Amendment 5, recently shelved by Sacramento lawmakers after an outcry from many Chinese-American parents, who fear affirmative action would make it harder for their children to get into top schools like UC Berkeley and UCLA.
I am sure he will come out with UC-Irvine is the University of Chinese Immigrants and UC-Davis is the University of Chinese Doctors crack soon. Damn Asians!

His K-12 plan includes granting even more local control -- not just by districts but also by individual schools -- of state funding while eliminating most of the state Education Code so local principals, teachers and parents can use the money as they see fit. He also wants charter schools to have the same level of funding and facilities as traditional schools, and he would eliminate a cap that limits California to 100 new charter schools per year.
For higher education, Kashkari wants to tie state funding to campuses' success rates -- as measured by credits accumulated, students retained, courses completed and degrees awarded -- while putting more UC and CSU courses online and offering free tuition to science, technology, engineering and math students in exchange for a cut of their future earnings.
So this is Neel Kashkari, AKA, man with a governors campaign that is DOA before it is DOA. Enjoy losing, asshole.

-- "You can sleep with . You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that ... and not to bring them to my games." (5:15)
-- "Im just saying, in your lousy f******* Instagrams, you dont have to have yourself with, walking with black people." (7:45)
-- "...Don't put him on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don't bring him to my games." 9:13)
Ummm. . .wow! What a fucking shithead! There is no other way to describe him. You own an NBA team. Most players, past players. . .even one of the owners is black (and he is considered the greatest player EVER) and you dont want them to come to your games. Does that include your players? The other players? TV announcers? Journalists? Corporate Sponsors?
Apparently, black people arent the only subhumans Sterling doesnt like. He hates other people as well.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]In the new, 15-minute tape released Sunday by the U.S. website Deadspin, Sterling, 80, is heard telling Stiviano, 38, "You think I'm a racist " which Stiviano denies. He insists that that's what she thinks, that he has an "evil heart," to which she replies, "I don't think so. I think you have an amazing heart, honey, I think the people around you have poison mind, and have a way of thinking."
At that point Sterling - born to American Jewish immigrant parents as Donald Tokowitz seemingly tries to defend his views by putting them in an international context, singling out how blacks are treated in Israel.
Sterling: "It's the world! You go to Israel, the blacks are just treated like dogs."
Stiviano: "So you have to treat them like that too?"
Sterling: "The white Jews, there's white Jews and black Jews, do you understand?"
Stiviano: "Are are the black Jews less than the white Jews?"
Sterling: "A hundred percent, fifty, a hundred percent."
Stiviano: "And is that right?"
Sterling: "It isn't a question we don't evaluate what's right and wrong, we live in a society. We live in a culture. We have to live within that culture."
So, Jews are bad too. Apparently racism is poison, because advertisers are dropping The Clippers in record time.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Advertisers are backing away from the Los Angeles Clippers after racist comments attributed to the NBA team's owner.
Mercedes-Benz USA said Monday its dealerships are ending their sponsorship of the Clippers in the wake of comments allegedly made by the team's owner, Donald Sterling. Used car dealership chain CarMax, airline Virgin America, and the Chumash Casino Resort are doing the same.
Four other sponsors, Kia Motors America, energy drink maker Red Bull, hardwood flooring retailer Lumber Liquidators and Yokohama Tire, said they are suspending their advertising and sponsorship activities with the team. Yet another sponsor, insurer State Farm, said it "will be taking a pause in our relationship with the organization."
Kia. . .well, they are Korean, so fuck them. Yokohama too. The others are probably run by n-bomb lovers or Jews, so the Clippers and Donald Sterling dont need them either!
There is more fallout. Apparently, Mark Jackson, former player and coach of the Golden State Warriors, thinks fans should boycott the games.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]"If it was me, I wouldn't come to the game," Jackson said Monday. "I believe as fans, the loudest statement they could make as far as fans is to not show up to the game."
Jackson was quick to point out that his advice doesn't apply just to Clippers supporters but to Warriors fans as well.
"As an African-American man that's a fan of the game of basketball and knows its history and knows what's right and what's wrong, I would not come to the game tomorrow, whether I was a Clipper fan or a Warrior fan," he said.
Eh. . .who cares? Hes black. Donald Sterling doesnt want him at the games either. Former player and NBA executive Doc Rivers believe Sterling is a racist too. But hes black too, so Sterling can tell the n-bomb to go fuck himself.
Sacramento mayor and former NBA player Kevin Johnson wants NBA commish Adam Silver to bring down the maximum punishment on Sterling, on behalf of the NBA Players Association.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Johnson met with NBA commissioner Adam Silver on Sunday before they attended Game 4 of the Clippers' first-round series against the Golden State Warriors. During the meeting, Johnson laid out what the players felt were key objectives in terms of the league's dealings with Sterling.
"The players wanted to ensure that Mr. Sterling does not attend any games for the Clippers or any other team for the duration of the playoffs," Johnson said. "We're confident that the commissioner understood that this is an enormous distraction for everyone, and we want the focus to really be on the games and what's taking place on the court, and he certainly understood that."
But Kevin Johnson is black too, so hes banned from Clippers games too.
But apparently, the NBA doesnt seem to notice shit until its in the media. Yahoo News has a whole list of crap this motherfucker has said and done the past. To believe someone would think and believe this shit in 2014 American is amazing. We havent progressed as much in race relations as we have thought.
Here is the one that will make you throw up in your mouth a little. Apparently, women are toys and commodities to this troglodyte.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]
The sad thing is this man is disgusting as all get-out. . .and yet some young girl is this things girlfriend. Oh, I forgot. . .his girlfriend is his girlfriend because Sterling has no interest in his wife anymore.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]
Sterling was at Game 3 on Thursday night in Oakland, Calif., and was planning to be at Game 4 on Sunday before speaking with the league and agreeing not to attend as it investigated his comments. Sterling's wife, Rochelle, however, was at Sunday's game and sat courtside across from the Clippers' bench in their 118-97 loss.
You know, for someone who doesnt like non-white people, his trophy girlfriend doesnt look white. She looks awfully non-white. Apparently, thats okay. As long as the racist 1/4 inch killer gets played with, you can be as non-white as possible. But dont be a non-white man! Fuck you people! The Clippers dont want you! Or your money. . .and if youre an NBA player, they dont want your talent either.

When youre the NYPD, you want as much good pub as you can get. After all, youre organization has been documented as racist profilers and using brutal tactics on everyone form bike riders to joggers to OWS protesters.
So, the NYPD wanted people to submit through hashtag photos that show the good things NYPD has done for the public but submitting selfies with the NYPD. Bad idea! Internet has this habit of allowing people to submit anything.
The people in NY responded to the NYPDs request with a slew of good photos.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]This weeks social-media fail goes to the New York Police Department, where someone dreamed up a would-be public-relations campaign and asked Twitter users to submit photos of themselves with police officers.
If youre a sentient being who isnt drinking whatever is in the water over at the N.Y.P.D., you know where this is going: scores of Twitter users have sent in photos of the departments use of force, against protesters, journalists, and even dogs.
How did they not see this coming? Considering their reputation and track record, whoever runs the Twitter account should've known what they were opening themselves up to: an aggregate of concentrated failure. Pandora's box came flying open for all of the world to see, and people are taking the carnage and running with it like DeSean Jackson against the Giants.
The Twitter account has been dormant for over an hour, meaning they're probably trying to figure out how to deal with this. For the moment, silence seems to be the best option.
Lets see a few of these photos.

Heres a good NYPD officer showing someone the latest angry fighting techniques. I think its known as assault and battery while punching the fuck out of you style.

Who can forget the choke someone on the ground with your knee technique? Look at that smile on the mans face. He loves his police protection.

Here is a fun photo of wonderful girl getting her hair playful tugged on while handcuffed. Look at the officers playful smile and the look of enjoyment by the woman.

Finally, how many officers does it take to manhandle one small, handcuffed woman? Apparently, six while her bra is falling off and about to flash the entire city her boobs].
Epic fail, NYPD.

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Dane Eagle and Vance McAllister[/font]
And finally, a little light ending to this weeks craptacular list. First, we go down to Florida. Lets look at what Republican Florida state Representative Dane Eagle said once:
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]"We need to be as elected officials held to a higher standard," said Florida state Rep. Dane Eagle (R-Cape Coral) last month after sponsoring a bill that would require legislators to submit to drug testing.
Yes, I think we all can agree. Elected people should be held to a much higher standard. Those that lie, cheat, betray their wives, do drugs, drink and drive, etc. . .should be publicly flogged to set an example. Bring back the stocks and let them all be shamed in public.
If you know where I am going with this, youre a little ahead of me. So, here you go. Apparently, Dane Eagle likes to put a few back and drive while intoxicated.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Just before 2 a.m. Monday morning, Eagle was arrested in Tallahassee on suspicion of DUI. Police first spotted him pulling out of a Taco Bell in his black SUV before he narrowly avoided hitting a median, then stopped in an intersection, veered into a curb and ran a traffic light, according to arrest documents.
An arresting officer wrote that Eagle smelled like alcohol, had "bloodshot, watery, and glassy eyes," and swayed while outside his vehicle, but denied drinking any alcoholic beverages. He allegedly claimed the smell of booze had come from friends who had ridden in his car after being at a bar, and refused to take a field sobriety test or submit to a breath test, according to police.
Not surprised at all. Even less surprised that he lawyered up fast and didnt accept responsibility for his illegal actions or his arrest.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]EAGLE: I was arrested in Tallahassee and accused of driving under the influence of alcohol. While there are some decisions that I would have made differently, I do not believe there is a complete and accurate picture of the events. Under advice of my legal counsel, I cannot discuss all the details right now, but I look forward to publically (sic) sharing the entire story at an appropriate time. Until then, I humbly ask for everyone's patience. I know that I am accountable for my actions, and I look forward to communicating with my constituents in the near future on this matter.
So much for holding elected officials to a higher standard.
Down in Louisiana, US Congressman Vance McAllister was caught sucking face with someone not his wife. First he played I need to ask God for forgiveness. When that bullshit failed, he realized McAllister is not the same last name as Vitter and decided to not seek re-election in 2014.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Louisiana GOP Rep. Vance McAllister, caught on camera kissing a married female aide, said Monday he's failed his family, let down his district and doesn't intend to run for re-election this fall.
In a statement, McAllister apologized for conduct he called a "personal failure," and said he spent the Easter congressional recess reconciling with his family.
In a related story, his wife released a statement saying she doesnt intend to run for the position of still married woman to a hypocritical scumbag this fall.
See you next week!
I have never seen so many GOP talking points destroyed so quickly.

Top Ten Conservative Idiots of the Week #38
[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Give Me That Old Time Religion Edition[/font]
Fundies dominate the Top Ten this week. From a murderer (1), to his supporter (2); Pogrom lovers (3) and Christain Fundies in Oklahoma (8), this week is proof that religion has become one of the most insidious mass brainwashing on Earth today. Even North Korea (10) has its religion and God, an ugly, fat sociopath with a lousy haircut. And as always, don't forget the key. At the end, the writer will speak briefly on the passing of Rubin Hurricane Carter.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]
[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Frazier Glenn Miller[/font]
It happened. Jewish organizations in Kansas City went on alert last week as some nut decided to act out his manhood fantasy and attack and kill Jewish people in the name of some paranoid conspiracy theory. And in time for Passover too. So, security went up big time at Jewish organizations around KCMO and the openness and charity of Passover got killed as well. Way to go, Fraizer Glenn Miller. . .you did what Pharaoh couldn't do.
Miller, a known anti-Semite and a right wing political fundamentalist, decided to extend his ¼ inch killer, lift up a gun and went on a murder spree. This has been building for some time now. Honestly with all the tea party paranoia, the Bundy Ranch clowns, Alex Jones conspiracy nuts and Sean Hannity purposely stirring the shit, someone was eventually going to get killed.
Miller has had a long history of this crap. Let's look at something pricko wrote about Jews.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]After subsequently forming another Klan group, the White Patriot Party, he was found in criminal contempt and sentenced to six months in prison for violating the court settlement. He went underground while his conviction was under appeal but was caught by the FBI with a weapons cache in Missouri. He served three years in federal prison after being indicted on weapons charges and for plotting robberies and the assassination of SPLC founder Morris Dees. As part of a plea bargain, Miller testified against other Klan leaders in a 1988 sedition trial.
Miller is a raging anti-Semite who has posted more than 12,000 times on Vanguard News Network (VNN), whose slogan is No Jews, Just Right. VNN founder Alex Linder has openly advocated exterminating Jews since December 2009. Miller, a close partner to Linder, has called Jews swarthy, hairy, bow-legged, beady-eyed, parasitic midgets. Miller is also one of VNNs largest donors and he printed and distributed thousands of copies of VNNs newsletter, The Aryan Alternative.
So, he posts on a nice little website that is Stormfront and National Alliance combined. And apparently, posters at the this website have had legal problems in the past.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]This isnt the first time a VNN user has been arrested for violence. On January 17, 2011, less than 12 hours after posting on VNN, Kevin William Harpham placed an improvised explosive device concealed in a backpack along a Martin Luther King parade route in Spokane Washington. The lead sinkers in the radio-detonated IED were coated with Warfarin rat poison, evidently intended to increase bleeding. Had the device functioned, dozens of men, women and children would have been killed or injured. Harpham also distributed The Aryan Alternative.
Nice group of people. Just a wonder, let's have Sunday dinner group of troglodytes that website attracts.
Before the Top Ten puts Miller into the dustbin of history, let's look at the actions of this asshole after he was arrested.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]he video, which was taken by Kansas City news station KMBC, shows the suspected gunman after he was taken into custody in the parking lot of an elementary school near the scene of the attacks at the Jewish Community Center and the Village Shalom assisted living center.

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Dan Clevenger[/font]
Well, maybe the Top Ten spoke too soon. Meet Dan Clevenger, mayor or Marionville, Missouri and open Frazier Glenn Miller supporter. That needs to be repeated. Dan Clevenger, an elected official that goes relies on votes to get and keep his job, supports a murdering anti-Semitic bigot.
While you pick up your bottom jaw from the ground, let's look at some of this moron's bullcrap.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]In an interview with KSPR, Clevenger said Cross -- who also goes by the name Frazier Glenn Miller -- was "[v]ery fair and honest and never had a bit of problems out of him."
"He was always nice and friendly and respectful of elder people, you know, he respected his elders greatly. As long as they were the same color as him," Clevenger said.
"Kind of agreed with him on some things but, I don't like to express that too much," Clevenger told KSPR.
I'm sure Miller loves his mother and his dog too. I'm also sure he loves apple pie too. Doesn't change the fact that he killed people due to racial and religious intolerance. And the fact that you stated you kind of agreed with him on some things shows that you are unfit to run to be an elected speed bump and that fact you continued by saying I don't like to express that too much shows you are a weak, wimpy, closeted bigot who doesn't even have the courage of their own conviction. You need to write a resignation later as soon as possible.
In the past, Clevenger was more in your face with his racism. I guess being mayor means you need to hide it more.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Nearly a decade ago, Clevenger wrote a letter to the editor of the Aurora Advertiser.
"I am a friend of Frazier Miller helping to spread his warnings," wrote Clevenger. "The Jew-run medical industry has succeeded in destroying the United State's workforce."
The letter continued.
"Made a few Jews rich by killin' us off."
He also spoke of the "Jew-run government backed banking industry turned the U.S into the world's largest debtor nation."
Now that you have that resignation letter written, Danny. . .sign it, effective immediately and then disappear from public life forever. However, it appears Clevenger is in hot water and may be removed from office. Because nothing screams come to our town and spend money here more than a Nazi loving mayor.

Frazier Miller has more allies. All he has to do is go to that Godless, former communist country of Russia and enjoy life there. See, the Russians, under Vladimir Putin (Conservative from Hell), have decided to attempt a annex of parts of Ukraine, and threaten anyone that wants to help Ukraine keep its borders.
So, in a part of Ukraine that the Russians and Russian supporters have taken over, namely the city of Donetsk , Jews were told they have to "register" with the Ukrainians who are trying to make the city become part of Russia. Yes. . .get your papers, Jews! Get those papers, Jews!
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Jews emerging from a synagogue say they were handed leaflets that ordered the city's Jews to provide a list of property they own and pay a registration fee "or else have their citizenship revoked, face deportation and see their assets confiscated," reported Ynet News, Israel's largest news website.
Wow. This does sound vaguely familiar if one knows history. Listing property and paying a registration fee. . .sounds like Nazi Germany. Revoking citizenship, deportation and asset confiscation. . .this sounds like the Inquisition. Russian anti-semitism has reared its ugly head yet again.
So, Miller would love Russia now. They hate Jews as much as he does. I wonder if Dan Clevenger will stand up and say kind of agreed with the Russians on some things, but now that it's out in the open, them Jews deserve it.
Passover 2014 started great for Jews this year.

Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) asserted over the weekend that the Republican Party was the party of "women's equality" days after Senate Republicans blocked the Paycheck Fairness Act.
In a party line Senate vote last week, Republicans refused to allow debate on a bill that would have require employers prove that women were not being discriminated against.
So, the Republicans are the party of women's equality by working to block a fair pay law to allow women the same pay for the same work as men and they are all for woman's equality? On what planet? In what dimension? In what realm of consciousness?

"I find this war on women rhetoric almost silly," Blackburn insisted.
We find your party's chances to keep power in the House after election day almost silly too. How can any woman vote for a party that wants to keep them as second class citizens with second class pay? Oh yeah. . .Stockholm Syndrome. Explains it all.

So, Opie Dopey is on the Environment and Public Works committee in the Senate, which deals with such things as environment and infrastructure, two things Republicans know shit about and care about even less. The EPW is now looking at Janet McCabe, President Obamas pick to head the Environmental Protection Agencys Air and Radiation office. This is not a controversial office and is not really grounds for political grandstanding.
Wait, these are Republicans. Everything is grounds for political grandstanding. When Ms. McCabe was hauled in front of this committee, Jeff Sessions decided to make political hay over climate change. Not this shit again!

Thats fine. The Top Ten has long denied that Jeff Sessions has a functioning brain.

Ugh, back to the South again (southerners on DU must be having seizures now and this should get the Top Ten another jury notice for region bashing).

Loyalties. Gotcha! Like the Republican presidential wanna-bes going out to Vegas to kiss the feet and suck the dick of Sheldon Adelson. . .and will probably go out to Kansas to give Charles and David Koch a reach around following by a Koch family circle jerk? Those kind of loyalties?

Back to the South (shit, Im going to get banned with all these jury alerts) for one last time. Going to the mid-south this time, not the deep south to the state of Virginia. Virginia has become one of the most schizophrenic states when it comes to people running for office. Terry McAlliffe, the Cooch. Northern Virginia liberals, southern Virginia conservatives. It really is a purple state. Sadly, their Republicans are a fucking embarrassment.
The newest installment of Republican sleaze is Bob Marshall, who apparently is running for the open seat in CD-10 this year. He is an interesting person. Lets look at some of his [link:hhttp://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/04/11/va-gop-candidate-no-incest-exception-for-abortion-because-sometimes-its-voluntary/#.U0rP5RtVXZw.facebook|rather insane comments] and his reactions to the fallout.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Bob Marshall, who is running for the seat being vacated by retiring Rep. Frank Wolf (R- VA10), explained in an interview with the Boston Globe in 1989 that he wouldnt make exceptions for abortions, even in the case of rape and incest, stating: What if incest is voluntary? Sometimes it is.
Marshall, a senior Republican member of the Virginia General Assembly, has a history of making colorful statements that may come back to haunt him in the upcoming election, but he insists they are not gaffes.
I dont care. I mean, if I say something in public, I say it in public, Mr. Marshall said Thursday.
Voluntary? Incest? Its voluntary? Come on, parent. . .give it to my 12 year old body. I know you want some sugar and Im ready for you. Im sorry, I just threw up a little in my mouth.
I hope it doesnt get any worse.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Speaking to a pro-life group last year, Marshall discussed Justice Anthony M. Kennedys majority opinion in the U.S. Supreme Courts ruling on same-sex marriage, adding at the end: For all I know, Kennedys a homosexual.
You cant be doing some of these things without this kind of conclusion, he added.
Defending his comment, he recently said, Clearly, some of the people who are making these decisions must be rationalizing their own bad behavior.
Because anyone that supports equality is a fag, right? You wear your sheets buddy. Rationalize that behavior, you arrogant ass.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]In 2010, Marshall called for an end to state funding for Planned Parenthood, and suggested that women who have abortions are more likely to face vengeance from nature in the form of children being born with developmental disabilities.
The number of children who are born subsequent to a first abortion who have handicaps has increased dramatically. Why? Because when you abort the firstborn of any, nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children, Marshall said.
Faced with criticism over those remarks, Marshall partially walked back the statement.
No one who knows me or my record would imagine that I believe or intended to communicate such an offensive notion, he explained afterward. I have devoted a generation of work to defending disabled and unwanted children and have always maintained that they are special blessings to their parents.
Abortion causes defects. According to Glenn Beck, its HITLER! According to Alex Jones, its the spacemen that talk to him through his tin foil hat. And according to Rush Limbaugh, its the oxycotin that make his dick limps so liberals want abortions on demand, whatever the fuck that means. Can Bob Marshall get any worse?
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]A staunch opponent of same-sex marriage, he co-sponsored the Marshall-Newman Amendment that voters approved in 2006 banning same-sex marriage in Virginia. A federal judge this year ruled it unconstitutional.
Marshall has repeatedly introduced personhood bills to secure civil and legal rights for the unborn from the moment of conception.
So, lets recap:
01: Stupid
02: Homophobic
03: Misogynistic
04: Anti-choice
05: Anti-child
06: Pro-incest
07: Pro-asshole
08: Arrogant
09: Hubris filled
10: Obtuse
Perfect for the Republican Party to nominate because staunch wing nutters will love him.
You realize this asshole will probably win the nomination and be a representative in Congress because his district has gone to the Republican every election for the last 17 cycles by at least 15%. Maybe the district has changed. . .but what wont change is this asshole will already have at least 35% of the vote in his pocket. So, those that vote for him support incest. And Republicans, the part of family values, will have no problems with that.

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]Oklahoma Government[/font]
The Sooner State has brought us such assholes as James Inhofe, Tom Coburn, Mary Fallin (what a apropos surname), Toby Keith and the country music assholes and countless dipshits in the Oklahoma state legislature.
This week, we look at three pieces of shit that have come out of Oklahoma. First, Governor Mary Failure signed one of the most fuck the poor and the young bills in the history of humanity, then spouted wingnut talking points to defend her shitty decision.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin (R) signed a bill Monday prohibiting cities across the state from establishing mandatory minimum wage and employee benefits, including vacation or sick leave days.
Advocates of the new law contend that efforts to increase the minimum wage across various municipalities could potentially harm local business communities.
"This bill provides a level playing field for all municipalities in Oklahoma," state Rep. Randy Grau (R), a backer of the bills House version, said on Monday, according to the Associated Press. "An artificial raise in the minimum wage could derail local economies in a matter of months. This is a fair measure for consumers, workers and small business owners."
Yes, because government needs to be small and let the market decide itself, unless the business interests dont like it, then its big government and time to stick a big dick up the ass of powerless people.
So how did Mary Failure defend this completely and utterly defenseless act? But being a completely obtuse asshat while spouting off talking points like a brain dead parrot.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Fallin defended her support for banning a minimum wage hike as an effort to protect consumers in a press release Monday, noting that "most minimum-wage workers are young, single people working part-time or entry-level jobs."
So, because, using her logic, young, single part time works and entry level jobs dont deserve to eat AND live in a house? Nice logic (I want to use the b-word, but I dont want to offend anyone, but its getting harder and harder to call people like this the b-word) and completely stupid. Hey, Oklahoma, how does it feel to be one of the most conservative states in the country? Getting tired of being fucked over by Republicans?
Apparently not, because next, Mary Failure decided to sign a law charging fees for installing renewable energy sources on their property. Way to pander to the fossil fuel industry.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]On Monday, S.B. 1456 passed the state House 83-5 after no debate. The measure creates a new class of customers: those who install distributed power generation systems like solar panels or small wind turbines on their property and sell the excess energy back to the grid. While those with systems already installed wont be affected, the new class of customers will now be charged a monthly fee a shift that happened quickly and caught many in the state off guard.
83-5 the voted without debate. Wow! Where are the Democrats or the people who think charging people for being environmentally responsible is bullshit? There were five of them. Out of 88. Oklahoma loves being fucked by Republicans.
Finally, an Oklahoma school district has decided to include, in its education system, something Hobby Lobby wants: A bible curriculum. Oh shit, not this crap again.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"](Hobby Lobby president Steve Green hopes the program which will be overseen by Jerry Pattengale, head of the Green Scholars Initiative will be placed in hundreds of high schools by 2016, and thousands by 2017. It is a four-year elective course in which students will study the narrative, history, and impact of the Bible on Western Civilization. Because the book is being taught within an academic purview, it does not violate the Establishment Clause of the Constitution as interpreted by the Supreme Court in Abington School District v. Schempp.
Really? The bible? The entire bible? Old and New? Or just what Jesus said? Can we see a textbook that will be used? What about the Torahs impact on Western Civ? How about the Koran? Analects? The Vedas? Christmas Trees and the Easter Bunny are pagan symbols? Can we include them too? Probably not, because the bible is the only thing that matters.

Statements made by Green when he received the 2013 Templeton Prize for Progress Toward Research or Discoveries about Spiritual Realities strongly suggest that the material in the Museum of the Bible Curriculum will neither be presented objectively nor part of a secular program.
Im curious if they will teach the part where Jesus said hate thy neighbor if they are gay. Blessed be the wealthy. Those in glass houses should through as many stones as possible. Fuck peace, Jesus wants to blast caps in non-believers asses. Im sure Betty Bowers would love to teach this course.

Shaheen votes with Elizabeth Warren. She votes with (Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Ed) Markey. She is the third senator from Massachusetts, Sunnunu said at Brown's Portsmouth, N.H. rally, according to Yahoo's Chris Moody. Scotts happiest days as a young man were in New Hampshire. So its going to be great to have a senator that was born virtually in the state of New Hampshire. Jean Shaheen, by the way, was born in Missouri!
There is so much stupid in that, where to begin.
01: Shaheen is a Democrat. So is Warren and Markey. She will probably vote for things Democrats want. Does that mean Sanders is an MA Senator too? Leahy? Schumer? Angus Young in Maine? WTF is this piece of shit smoking?
02: Browns happiest days are in New Hampshire. . .great. Why did he move then? He left New Hampshire and became a senator from MA. Now hes carpetbagging.
03: Jean Shaheen was born in Missouri. Oh snap. . .now its bad to be an American from the Heartland? So, according to John Sununu, people who move to new states are ineligible to run or should be voted out of office because they arent from the place they were born.

But Nabbach said that he frequently used pictures of celebrities in promotions (the poster advertised a 15-percent off offer), including Lady Diana.
They told him to remove it. Imagine the shock they must have gotten when Nabbach responded with two one fingered salutes with a simple phrase: Get the fuck out of my place, you Kim sucking asshole! At least, thats how I would have responded.

A spokesman at the embassy declined to comment on the story.
The problem that alot of people from this part of the world (remember, the writer lives in China) is that they require the world to bend to them. Even when they are in your own country.

The mask covering his face slipped off, revealing his wide-open, tearful eyes and saliva coming from his mouth...After two more jolts of electricity, the boy was dead." His plight lasted 81 days. Yet, nothing has been done and the conviction stands even to this day.
The writer of the Top Ten urges all to work, help and donate to Rubin Carters group or The Innocence Project. Only when we make things that happened to Rubin Carter and George Stinney public can our justice system do what its supposed to do: give justice rather than punishment; convict based on evidence, not based on bias.
One can hope Mr. Carters plight and that of George Stinney will never happen again, but the writer of the Top Ten knows it will. We all need to work hard to insure justice happens for all those wrongfully convicted of crimes they did not commit.

Mayor 'Kind Of Agreed' With White Supremacist Accused Of Killing 3 At Jewish Centers
Source: Huff Post
Marionville, Missouri Mayor Dan Clevenger said he "kind of agreed" with some of the beliefs of Frazier Glenn Cross, the 73-year-old accused of killing three people outside of a Jewish community center and retirement complex near Kansas City on Sunday.
In an interview with KSPR, Clevenger said Cross -- who also goes by the name Frazier Glenn Miller -- was "[v]ery fair and honest and never had a bit of problems out of him."
"He was always nice and friendly and respectful of elder people, you know, he respected his elders greatly. As long as they were the same color as him," Clevenger said.
"Kind of agreed with him on some things but, I don't like to express that too much," Clevenger told KSPR, which noted the mayor had expressed his views before:

Former governor of Arkansas, former president also-ran and current spawn of Satan Mike Huckabee decided to open his mouth and spit out so many turds of wisdom it was hard to keep track. Usually when this dim bulb says something, it's ignored. But this week is an exception.
Deciding to go all out on the I hate gays line, Mike of Moronville burped out this homophobic missive.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Delivering the keynote address to the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition, Huckabee said he didn't "care what people do personally in their individual lives," according to CNN.
"I'm not against anybody. I'm really not," he said. "I'm not a hater. I'm not homophobic."
Sure you aren't, buddy. We'll accept that. So when you say their individual lives, does that mean you're for gay people getting married? Hell no . . . so you are a liar and a hypocrite too. Since you want to control who can and cannot get married, you do care what people do personally in their individual lives."
He didn't stop with that. He decided to double down a little.

I said, 'You've got to understand, this for me is not about the right side or the wrong side of history, this is the right side of the Bible, and unless God rewrites it, edits it, sends it down with his signature on it, it's not my book to change.
The right side of the bible? The extreme right side. BTW, does God talk to you? He tells you what's right and wrong. . .and you act accordingly? So, Mike Huckabee, through oratory, or radio broadcasts or just talking out of your former huge fat ass, give God's orders to the rest of the world! Well, meet the prophet from Arkansas! Let's have a book of Huckabee. We will slip you in neatly between Numbers and Deuteronomy. (My apologies to Inherit the Wind fans).
It's like fundies truly believe their Smart Phones have a speed dial hookup to God and God will stop everything and answer them. Those in the God biz truly are completely up their own ass.
But he didn't stop. He went on to attack Obama's christian convictions. You know, because gayo-Americans want to be full citizens with full rights.

Does he have them or does he not?" Huckabee told Ingraham. "If one has them, they don't change depending on what the culture does. You don't take an opinion poll to come up with a new point of view."
He laid out three possible scenarios to explain the president's change of heart: "Were you lying then or are you lying now or did the Bible get re-written?"
Huckabee loves his echo chambers. Fixed Noise, that harpie Laura Ingraham. Jesus said love all as your brother. Nowhere did he said unless they like to sleep with other men. Then we can hate them and deny them rights everyone else has. Why doesn't this asshole just move to Uganda already and enjoy the gay bashing there? Oh, I know why. . .too many black people.
So, because of all this gay acceptance, according to Huckabee, North Korea is more free than the US. Yes, you heard that right. A country with gulags, execution through explosion and starving dogs and a place where men in Pyongyang are required to have Kim Jong Un haircuts or face arrest is more free than the US.

I do agree with you though. . .the screenings, searches and bullshit is overkill, but your boy Bush and his little sycophant Tom Ridge made it happen, so deal with it. USA PATRIOT Act. Something you supposed, Mikey.
But let's look at his statement. If I want to go vote. I am sure, in Pyongyang, people line up around the corner to vote. I hear someone is running against Jabba the Kim next year. His name is Ai Weil Dai, because anyone that is suspected of disrespecting the Great Successor dies.

Okay, so here's the backstory. Some guy in Nevada, let's call him Chump Change, is a cattle rancher using federal land so his cattle can graze. He was hit with grazing fees, but being a good Republican piece of crap that believes in the rule of law, he told the feds to go pound sand. So the feds got a court order to prevent Chump Change from grazing on federal all. All ranchers agreed with the court order. Not Chump Change. Laws are for other people. This was 15 years ago.
So, in the past week or so, the BLM said enough of this crap due to the drought and the endangered species in the area. They began to take the cattle by force off federal land, because, as you know, this is called trespassing. So what did Chump Change do? He flipped off the court order again and appealed to idiots like Sean Hannity and Alex Jones and Glenn Beck that see conspiracies when they wipe their asses.
In come the wingnuts, tempers blazing at the federal government for daring to enforce law. Freedumb! Freedumb!!! Li-ber-tee! Freedumb!
To add to the fun, Teabagging militia member have decided to descend upon Nevada and stir up more shit.
So they threaten, refuse to follow court orders, do their best to blame the Feds for following and trying to enforce a court order. Let's repeat that. A COURT ORDER! Because everyone has the right to tell court orders to kiss their ass. Especially if you are a I hate the government militia type.
Good news for the Bundy idiots, though. The Feds backed down. So much for the court order.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The dispute less than 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas between rancher Cliven Bundy and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management had simmered for days. Bundy had stopped paying fees for grazing his cattle on the government land and officials said he had ignored court orders.
Anti-government groups, right-wing politicians and gun-rights activists camped around Bundy's ranch to support him in a standoff that tapped into long-simmering anger in Nevada and other Western states, where vast tracts of land are owned and governed by federal agencies.
The bureau had called in a team of armed rangers to Nevada to seize the 1,000 head of cattle on Saturday but backed down in the interests of safety.
Great. Embolden these assholes even more. Why do they use kid gloves with right wing militia members but come down on OWS and left wing protesters with batons and tear gas?

The Republicans have a problem. The largest ethnic group in the country, Latinos, tend to vote against them in droves, unless they are Cuban in Florida. Then they vote Republican because they have an axe to grind with Castro because before Castro, they had the power under Batista. Just as Gloria Estefan, whose father was one of Batista's personal bodyguards.
Anyway, Republicans in Florida are beginning to lose their stranglehold on the Latino vote because, as Lew Oliver puts its, too many Puerto Ricans have come to Florida.

His answer was that government-loving "semi-socialist" Puerto Ricans are moving in and changing things for the worse.
The Orlando Sentinel noted yesterday that voter registrations in Orange County, which includes Orlando, had changed significantly since the last election cycle in 2012: Democrats picked up a few thousand new voters, while the GOP actually lost 247 voters. In fact, registered Republicans are now the number three demographic in the region, trailing Dems and voters who registered as "independent" or "no party affiliation"the fastest-growing segment.
Oh yes. . .semi-socialist Puerto Ricans. You know, American citizens, since Puerto Rico is an American protectorate (can't say colony. The American government isn't imperialistic, wink-wink).

But Lew Oliver, the chairman of the Orange County GOPpictured above with embattled Florida Gov. Rick Scottwent in another direction altogether, blaming his party's performance on new "demographics or national trends"to wit, self-interested Hispanics with a poor work ethic:
The great grand irony of it all is that the massive predominantly Puerto Rican influx that has accounted for nearly all of this is the result of Puerto Ricans almost without exception fleeing Puerto Rico and other states whose economic opportunities have diminished. What do all those places have in common? Puerto Rico, Chicago, Illinois, New York? Democrat governments. You would think at least of few of them would figure that out. If you like a semi-socialist government where the highest aspiration is a nice secure government job, Puerto Rico is heaven on earth, PLUS nice weather!

Wow! Lazy, shiftless Ricans. Go back to where-ever you came. Damn, anti-American brown people. Why can't you be good Latinos, like Cubans. You know Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. . .thems good. The rest of you. You all suck!

Maine has been down this road before, and we must learn from previous experience.

Back on the list for a second week in a row is Pat Robertson. Last week, his racism got the better of him as he decided that stereotypes about Jews makes compelling TV on the 700 Club. This week, God's chosen asshat has decided to ask God for deliverance; basically asking God to remove Obama from office. At least he didn't call for an assassination, just divine intervention.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Pat Robertson today asked God to "deliver" the US from President Obama before it's too late. After implying that Obama is a Muslim, Robertson told 700 Club viewers: "We need to do something to pray to be delivered from this president. He is a disaster, an absolute disaster. Democrat, Republican or whatever, this country is into serious decline unless something dramatic is done about it."
Such sentiments are nothing new from the right-wing televangelist. Robertson has previously suggested that Obama is a "crypto-Muslim" and once during George W. Bush's presidency prayed for God to remove justices from the Supreme Court.
Is it time for another famous Patwa? God, save the country from Obama. He only enabled nine million people to have access to affordable health care. Please God, make it so. Please! Please, with sprinkles and a cherry on top.
BTW, what the hell is a crypto-Muslim? A Muslim that worships while watching Tales from the Crypt?

In fact, Obama's speech focused on protecting the freedom of speech and religion, and Robertson conveniently omits the president's next line: To be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied.
Our president is frankly out of his mind, making a statement like that. The future belongs to those who belong to God almighty, not those who believe in this stuff.

On a 5-4 vote, the court struck down the overall limits on how much individuals can give to candidates, parties and political action committees in total during the federal two-year election cycle.
The ruling leaves in place base limits on how much a donor can give individual candidates and laws that require candidates, parties and political action committees to disclose information about donors.
The court was divided over how sweeping the ruling actually is. The biggest impact is that a single donor can now give the maximum amount by law to as many federal candidates, parties and committees as he or she wishes.
So, if some rich, bored idiot like Sheldon Adelson or those measly Koch stains decide to spent 1% of their massive fortune, now they can. Super PACs aren't even necessary anymore. Just sign a check and it's done. Bought, sold and paid for.

"We have, however, held that this interest must be limited to a specific kind of corruption quid pro quo corruption in order to ensure that the government's efforts do not have the effect of restricting the First Amendment right of citizens to choose who shall govern them."
Next time someone says there is no difference in the parties, slap that person silly and then have them committed to a nut house. The five Republican nominated justices all said it's perfectly acceptable for politicians and political parties to get on their knees, open their mouths and service the billionaire. The four Democratic nominees tried to invoke sanity by voting no.
Those who voted for George Bush, or didn't vote at all. . .I hope you're happy. We're stuck with Roberts and Alito for at least the next 25 years.
So to recap. . .Democracy is dead, plutocracy is in and American Idol is on. Time to defund the educational system a bit more so people don't develop the critical thinking skills to realize the politicians and the upper 1% that controls them threw them overboard 40 years ago. Let's keep Americans just smart enough to do the jobs and just dumb enough to accept low pay, long hours, no benefits, no job security, vanishing pensions and everything else that the right wing wants to do.

Number Two looks at the plight of Jerome Murdough, a nameless, faceless, mentally-ill homeless veteran in New York City. And his story is an indictment on all levels of American Government. Yes, even the current executive branch.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]
Jerome Murdough, a 56-year-old, mentally-ill homeless veteran, was just trying to stay alive during a New York City cold snap when he thought he found his spot: a stairwell leading to a roof in a Harlem public housing project.
But that desperate act set in motion a nightmare ride through New York's criminal justice system that would end with Murdough dying of heat stroke in a Riker's Island jail cell. New York officials now say the system failed Murdough every which way.
So, America treats its veterans so well they become homeless. America wants good babies to they can raise them to be dead soldiers. And if a soldier comes back alive, hurt or maimed, they are a drain on society and a taker. A soldier must be dead to be admired, as Gordon Lightfoot sang.
And American government loves its veterans so much they allow them to become homeless and have to find a place to sleep in a doorjam. Only to have to shithead cop arrest the veterans for vagrancy and put them through the nightmare of the draconian, police state, zero tolerance, everyone is a criminal American criminal justice system.
Because, as we all know, homelessness, poverty and all that comes with it is criminal in today's America.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]When he was discovered, he should have been offered shelter. When he was arraigned, he should not have been slapped with $2500 bail. When, unable to make bail, he ended up in jail, Murdough, because he was on medication for a mental condition, should have been monitored every 15 minutes, not left unwatched for at least four hours. It was during that untended time that Murdough, as an official told the Associated Press, "basically baked to death."
So the uneducated police are Riker's Island (I say that because all that is required is a High School Diploma and the ability to read, write and understand English on most police job application forms across the country) allow this man to cook because. . .he's dangerous? They didn't provide adequate care. They didn't provide supervision and let this poor man die.
You read about North Korea, Uzbekistan, Belarus and Iran doing things like this and people in America get upset. But when it happens in our backyard, there is nary a peep made. The Great American Double-Standard: it's wrong for another country to do what we do in our country.

Murdough, the latest statistic in a series of needless deaths of homeless people while under arrest for "crimes" related to being unhoused, such as loitering or trespassing, was also the last straw.
Just like My Lai in Viet Nam. It all fell on Lt. Calley, the fallguy. Police in NY probably picked this guy because no one likes him, he's a bit of a trouble maker and honestly wants to do good rather than use the badge as a manhood and self-esteem extension.
So the United Nations has condemned the US for criminalizing homelessness. Not that American governments at any level give a shit about that. We're Americans. We're the greatest.

James Boyd, 38 years old with a history of mental illness, was shot dead by Albuquerque police while his back was turned after a three-hour stand-off. Boyd, armed with a small knife, appeared to be surrendering when he was gunned down. The incident was caught on one of the officer's helmet-cams and has been posted on YouTube by at least half a dozen news outlets.
The whitewash was on instantly, but the FBI came in to investigate. Don't expect anything to happen.
So why the indictment of all levels of American government, even the current executive? Because they allow it. They've passed these laws, signed them, enforce them. Mandatory minimums, three strikes, long punishments for victimless crime. The government has brainwashed people that criminals will come out of their toilet and attack them when they take a shit, so we pass SYG laws and kill minorities that are suspicious or made me fear for my life because they are carrying iced tea or listening to music too loud.
We use drones to kill. We have Gitmo still open. Joe Arpaio's tent city runs still in 120 degree heat of Maricopa County. Police shoot, kill, beat, attack and torture people with impunity and the American government allows it to happen. And so do the American people by electing and re-electing the people that pass these laws.
Oh. . .as for Mr. Murdough. He was black too. So being homeless and black. . .double felony and the punishment definitely needs to be death. If only he died like a soldier should die. Then he'd be a hero.
But he was a veteran. And homeless. And black. And mentally ill.

Or for me to mow my lawn, I'm the worse lawn mower in the world, but the young man who lives down the street from me, he's one of the best and he's happy to do it. I'm happy.
How hard is it to mow the lawn? Get on your riding mower, put it into the driver and drive in a circle. If Forrest Gump could do it, so can anyone with an IQ double their shoe size. Sorry, Mr. Lapin. . .you're an elitist snob. You and Pat should fit in well together. You just need to accept Robertson's warped interpretation of Jesus Christ.

Top Ten Hall of Famer Louie Gohmert is back again for a two-fer of casting aspersions on his asparagus. First the Giant Texas Boob comes out with one of the dumbest lines in the history of mankind, then goes for broke by accusing those who have been victims of intolerance of being intolerant.
#1: In a statement that is sure to make people's head's spin, Gohmert actually believer that the first amendment Establishment Clause means government can't interfere with religion, but the Church plays a role in the State. You may pick up your bottom jaw off the ground.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]In a World Net Daily-sponsored promotion for an upcoming Christian TV event called Washington A Man of Prayer, Gohmert recalled that the U.S. House of Representatives once met in what is now known as National Statuary Hall.
On Sundays this became the largest non-denominational Christian church in the Washington, D.C. area, he explained. People came in here and prayed, they sang hymns, they worshiped God. It was part of our history.
Yeah. . .so? What about Jews? Muslims? Hindus? Do they matter? Christ was Jewish, dipshit! But all that doesn't matter. Engel V. Vitale. Lee V. Weisman. You people on the right need to learn constitutional case law. It's not hard. If you know how to read, which might be stretch for you people.
Louie the Loon then went on to misquote Thomas Jefferson.

Gohmert pointed out that a Congressional Research Service report revealed that President Thomas Jefferson, who coined the phrase separation of church and state, had also attended church services at Statuary Hall.
Let's see something Jefferson said, as quoted by DU member Galraedia:
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]JEFFERSON: Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of an established religion tends to make the clergy unresponsive to their own people, and leads to corruption within religion itself. Erecting the 'wall of separation between church and state,' therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society.
So, Louie is talking not only bullshit, but out of his huge ass as well.
But not stopping there, Louie doubles down and goes after a Republican's favorite target gayo-Americans. First a little background on Louie's attitudes towards the LGBT community.

Louie Gohmert (R-TX) endorsed Arizonas failed right-to-discriminate bill for challenging attempts to establish the religion of secularism.
In reaction to Mississippis enactment a similar law, Gohmert yesterday told Washington Watch host and Family Research Council president Tony Perkins who stood behind Mississippis governor at the bills signing ceremony that he is so proud of Mississippi and what theyve done.
One thing Louie is good at is going to places where he will be welcomed. World Nut Daily, Family Research Council, Townhall, Fixed Noise. He loves those places. Go any place else and he looks like the boob he is.
So he is not a friend of gay people. He thinks the 14th amendment doesn't apply them and neither does the Full Faith and Credit Clause. Remember, this clown was a judge!
What happened when Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant refused to said the gay hating bill? Louie started whining and crying.

Phil Bryant came on the show to receive Gohmerts plaudits, the congressmen called the anti-gay law a wonderful example of real freedom and attacked gay rights critics as intolerant: Youve seen it first hand, there is nobody more intolerant in this country than those that are screaming for tolerance. Christians are not intolerant but whoa, goodness these people that have their leftist agenda that are so intolerant so thanks for having the courage to stand up.
Wha. . .what? People who are working to stop discrimination based on sexual orientation are the bigots and the intolerants? I guess the men that beat Matthew Shepperd to death were good, wholesome Americans that were tolerant of differences. It was tolerant murder.
Boob is good to describe Louie Gohmert, who solidly continues to earn his place in the Top Ten Hall of Fame.

"It's imperative that federal Medicaid aid is passing the [Virginia] budget," Merk wrote.
Greason, an outspoken opponent of expanding Medicaid in Virginia, responded first by thanking Merk for contacting him. He went on to explain his position against expansion, reasoning that "ObamaCare has already proven to be inefficient, costly, and an utter disaster," and that "Medicaid is one of the largest and fastest-growing parts" of the budget even without expansion.
Okay. . .this is starting well. Merk goes into why her Delegate should do the right thing and expand medicaid and Greason responds with condescending talking points without logic or reason.

And since 2014 is looking to be the same as 2010 (with Democrats not wanting to vote for some stupid reason), we will end up seeing more stories like the two below.

The Koch Brothers and their sycophants are mighty thin skinned people. They get challenged than they pout, whine, cry and attack the messenger. Chris Hayes of MSNBC is the latest to get this treatment. Here's the video, from Mediaite.

She raised her voice and scolded Hayes for talking over her, while a stunned Hayes insisted it had nothing to do because of her gender.
That's a neat trick. Put your accuser on the defensive by accusing them of something that easy to accuse, but difficult to refute. Since we don't know Chris Hayes's attitudes (well, we do. It's public record), just go on an irrational rant about something that means absolutely nothing. Stefano goes uber-loon rather quickly.

When you figure that out, Chris, let the world know?
So, let's backtrack: According to Jennifer Stefano:

Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Tuesday explained to a group of children that atheists in the United States were working to take away their religious freedoms. Speaking at the Network of Iowa Christian Home Educators, Cruz told parents and children as young as 3 that school choice is the civil rights issue of the 21st century.
Cruz repeated a conspiracy theory that the Convention on the Rights of the Child would allow the United Nations to take parenting decisions away from Americans. Nothing in international law, nothing in any treaty should be used as a backdoor vehicle to undermine the rights of every parent here to raise your children consistent with your faith, with your good judgment and the love you have for your children, he said.

He was ordered by his supervising officer to take it down.
That joke is always used. There are no atheists on test days in school. There are no atheists when you're waiting for an HIV test result. There's no atheists when two people are in bed about to orgasm. Most of the time, they are scream Oh God, oh God, take me!

Who are your three favorite heroes/heroines in literature?
For me, in order of #3 to #1 is simple:
#3: O-Lan (欧兰 from Pearl Buck's The Good Earth. This is a woman who gives her spirit and soul to a soul dead man who only really cares about his own gratitude. She raises children that view her poorly and dies alone while her husband entertains his concubine. She is the essence of purity in my eyes. And what happens to purity in an impure world.
#2: Jean Valjean from Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. I read the book long before watching the opera for the first time and the book really got to a man. Here is a man hunted and chased for a minor mistakes not only by the law, but by his own conscience for feeling he has never done enough to atone for his mistakes. Valjean has so little to dislike in a character or a hero that when he dies, you feel part of your heart die with him.
#1: Samwise Gamgee from JRR Tolkein's Lord of the Rings Triology. No other character shows true devotion and genuine caring for another as Samwise does for Frodo. Samwise is everything people should be to each other. And at the end, after years of taking care of Mr. Frodo, when he boards the white ship with Elrond, Bilbo and Gandalf, we feel and know that Samwise wants, one more time, to be the man to save and protect Frodo. As the ship leaves, Samwise feels part of himself leave with Frodo. Samwise Gamgee is probably the greatest heroic character in the history of literature.
Introduction to Chinese Medical Service
Okay. . .I have an abscess in my leg. I hurt myself and it got infected. No big deal. I've had them before. Staph infections are rather common and I know what to do.
So, at the insistence of the wife, I went to the foreigner section of the local hospital. This is my fifth time dealing with Chinese hospitals. . .first thing, doesn't matter if it's terrible or a good hospital, they are all the same.
We'll divide it up into sections:
1: REGISTRATION
Behind the registration booth is usually a rather frazzled overworked clerk that looks at you with a level of disdain that can range from mild annoyance to complete antipathy. They rarely make eye contact, take your paperwork out of your hands, slam the information into a computer, give you your "treatment book" and then demand 20-50RMB for the privilege of being registered. No, we have not going to triage yet. We haven't seen a nurse. We just got registered.
2: TRIAGE
When you get to triage, the nurse doing it usually spends most of her time on her phone and ignores you completely. I say "her" because 95% of nurses in China are still women. Male nurses are EXTREMELY rare. If she could have you do everything, she would gladly let you. After that's done, you're down another 100RMB and we still haven't seen a doctor.
3: INITIAL DIAGNOSIS
In the waiting from packed filled to overflowing is every type of disease and malady you can think of. This is the medical version of Grand Central Station. People are hanging out windows, spitting on the floor, smoking cigarettes next to a "no smoking" sign that has an ashtray under it and smelling a bathroom so ripe with ammonia it would make a dead person's eyes water. When the doctor sees you, expect a lightning fast consultation (less than five minutes) where the doctor won't make eye contact and doesn't listen to anything the patient says after the first sentence. See, in China, people just do what the doctor says without question. It's the norm here. You do, you don't think. You react, you don't proact, if that's even a word. When they an American who begins saying "wait, I need to know what's happening. Tell me what you're doing," the self-righteous indignation comes out and you get the attitude "I am the doctor, you are the patient. I outrank you." Now you're down another 150RMB. So, 300RMB and you haven't done one thing medical yet.
4: PROCEDURES
Hospitals will always put inpatient service for everything. Doctors here are 1/2 medical "professionals" and 1/2 salesman. They actually get a small commission on the amount of patients they can intake. So it is in their financial interests to push expensive in-patient service to everyone. . .and get every angry when you say "No, I don't think I need to be intaked. I've had this before. Outpatient is just fine."
Moving on, if you want a bed or a wheelchair, good luck finding one. And if you do, they are under lock and key. See, people have stolen them before. Well, that's the urban legend. I can't imagine someone being able to steal a mobile hospital bed, but stranger things have happened.
5: IN PATIENT CARE
This does not exist. Your hospital room is a prison cell. Literally. No TV, no internet, no nothing. Also, it's a dead zone for cell phone service, so no texting anyone. All you can do is watch the paint dry.
On top of that, the nurse will only come into take vitals. You need to go somewhere, your family has to take you. If you need to eat, your family needs to buy you food. If you need to get an examination, the nurse will point you in the general direction and then go back to her paperwork. If you get lost, it's on you. Why don't you understand what I said to you?
So, food given to patients is not medically appropriate (imagine just having a coronary eating super salty food) and all medical services given to you must be given to you by people who no medical training (your family). Add to that the rooms are filthy, the windows might be broken, there is no climate control, no insulation to keep the cold out and the heat in. . .and people smoking EVERYWHERE! Even in rooms with oxygen tanks.
Now comes the doctor. . .he will see you at most five minutes day, ask you a question or two and then walk away. No examination, no real medical service. Just a cursory, perfunctory attempt to do something that shows the appearance they they are doing their job. Oh, and don't ask to see their medical license or their medical degree. They will get angry and say things like "No one ever asked me for that. How rude" or "I'm a doctor. Accept it." or "What do you know what you're looking at if I let you see it?"
6: MEDICINE
Usually, they push the most expensive brand name they can because that makes the hospital the most money. Even if the generic works just as well, the brand name is always pushed. It also doesn't help that the word "Generic" in Chinese means "common" and no one wants the common medicine, because common medication is bad. Try explaining that they are the same and people look at you cross eyed and give you "well, maybe you're right, but this is China." The usual excuse for anything said to people here that challenges a few of their fairy tale urban legend notions.
7: INVOLVEMENT
Chinese people are not involved in their treatment. Most go to hospital assuming they will die and are just lying there waiting for death. Giving up is easy, because hospitals are where people go to die.
8: GETTING TREATMENT
Remember that Hippocratic Oath? That doesn't apply in China. Pay first, pay again, pay immediately, then the doctor will see you, so long as you have the invoice and receipt to prove you paid.
9: INSURANCE
China has one of the most screwed up health insurance ideas, namely because it is an unregulated new industry and no laws have been made to reign it in. Here's how it works:
1: Pay all bills immediately to the hospital
2: Get your official invoices with the red stamp
3: Contact your Insurance company's English speaking phone line (hahahahahaha. That doesn't happen. My medical Chinese is terrible so if my wife is unavailable, I have to do it).
4: Get the insurance claim form.
5: Fill it in and total everything. One oversight will cancel the claim.
6: Mail it in with all invoices.
7: Wait two to three weeks.
8: Get an email saying if your claim has been approved or denied. If Denied, there is no recourse.
9: If approved, the insurance company will reimburse into your bank account, after the deductible, 80% of the invoice through direct deposit.
Yes, it is as annoying and inefficient as it sounds.
This is medical care here. Pure capitalism. Most hospitals are private, money making ventures for universities, business, corporations or just a private rich fat cat that see gold in someone's suffering.
The public ones are just miserable beyond recognition.
