Oh, this fight for Senate District 21 up in Cherokee County and north Fulton is going to be lively.
In response to local chamber president Brandon Beach's announcement that he would challenge Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers in the July 31 GOP primary, Rogers let it be known late Thursday that he'll have the support of Beach's 2010 campaign manager: Rusty Paul.
Says Paul, in Rogers' emailed press release:
"I've worked with Sen. Rogers for over a decade. While some people claim to be conservative, he's the walking, talking, living, breathing real thing. Plus, he's a committed problem-solver who is unbelievably adept at developing workable solutions that get the job done without chewing up taxpayer dollars in the process"
Paul is a former state senator and former chairman of the state GOP, and directed Beach's campaign for Senate District 56 against John Albers – narrowly won by Albers. But Paul is also a lobbyist at the state Capitol – and one senses he was between a rock and a hard place on this one.
The language in Rogers' press release is your clue that this race could be a feisty one. The Senate majority leader referred to Beach as "a rumored but [not] yet announced or filed candidate" – qualifying doesn't begin until May 23.
Then there's this quote from Rogers: "People are fed up with perennial candidates desperately seeking titles. Like Rusty, the people of Cherokee and Fulton have enthusiastically embraced my consistent and bold leadership for our conservative values."
Radio talk show host Martha Zoller of Gainesville will quit her day job today, which should send the Republican race for Georgia's new 9th Congressional District into high gear. Opposition includes state Rep. Doug Collins of Gainesville and Hunter Bicknell, chairman of the Jackson County Commission.
Regardless of what happens on July 31 – likely to be followed by a runoff, you'll hear from Zoller again. "I appreciate all of you and had a great time here. I plan to win so I won't be back, if not, you may see-hear me again at the end of the summer," Zoller told her radio colleagues in a note.
On the other hand, if Zoller claims the brass ring, she has plans to do nearly the same thing. From a flyer aimed at north Georgia voters:
When I'm elected, I will host a weekly, online town hall meeting right off the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. Like my current radio talk show, we will analyze the issues of the day before Congress and allow citizens to call in and be heard on these important issues.
This would be special. Because, as we all know, talk radio doesn't really carry enough influence among House Republicans. Speaker John Boehner would no doubt greet this opportunity with a bear hug.
When Gov. Nathan Deal today addresses new graduates from the University of Georgia in Athens, he's likely to face a silent protest from students angered by cuts to the HOPE scholarship. From an op-ed piece by Rachel Castleman in the Red & Black newspaper:
It is quite apparent that Deal does not understand the struggles that we face as recently graduated youth in a struggling economic atmosphere. As such we have decided to stage a peaceful, silent protest to the disregard UGA's administration has shown us in its choice of speaker for this year's commencement ceremony.
Out of respect for our fellow graduates, we have decided to protest solely during Deal's speech. That's why when Deal stands to take his place at the podium, we will stand and turn our back to him to send a message that we protest his presence and "encouragement" at a ceremony that is meant to recognize our scholarly endeavors.

Cheap shot artist Galloway posted this: "Because, as we all know, talk radio doesn't really carry enough influence among House Republicans. Speaker John Boehner would no doubt greet this opportunity with a bear hug."
Then he endorsed a UGA protest over necessary Hope scholarship changes as qualifiers blossomed.
I do agree with his opening statement: "Oh, this fight for Senate District 21 up in Cherokee County and north Fulton is going to be lively."

When I Google Senate District 21 maps, North Fulton County is not part of them – only parts of Cobb and Cherokee Counties. Anybody have a link that shows it?
Even the map on Chip Rogers' website excludes Fulton County: http://www.senate.ga.gov/senators/en-US/district.aspx?District=21&Session=21

Polls before late September of election years are notoriously inaccurate – but they are a snapshot in time:
Friday, May 11, 2012
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Mitt Romney earning 50% of the vote and President Obama attracting 43% support. Four percent (4%) would vote for a third party candidate, while another three percent (3%) are undecided.
This is the first time Romney has reached the 50% level of support and is his largest lead ever over the president.

Now for the big question is this sudden jump in the polls a backlash for Obama's coming out and supporting gay marriage or is it because of all the bad economic news and Romney's message taking hold?

What is hilarious is "Centrist" criticizing anyone for anything.
The Sun King really does think his opinion more important than anyone else's and truly does believe his opinion is the majority of America.

And anyone can cherry pick a poll. Intrade does give Romney slightly better odds than 2 weeks ago…by .7%.
And that was before people knew Romney was a Bully.
Al Gore "Invented" the internet. Mitt Romney "saved" GM.

"while another three percent (3%) are undecided."
The most interesting part of the poll. It shows how the people have made up their mind on Obama and the job he is doing. This number goes a long way to Obama's sudden turn around in the new strategy to try to turn the election into a base election and to drive down the turnout of the moderates and independents by going negative and taking more and more leftest positions to get his base fired up. Normally a candidate will go to the middle to attract the undecided independents but it seems they have already made up their mind.

If I were a University of Georgia administrator, those students who turned their back on the speaker would not get their degrees until they attended anoher semester. Part of being an adult is having respect for authority and respect for people, including leaders, with whom you disagree. It is apparent that Ms. Castleman has neither and doesn't deserve to be called a graduate of the University of Georgia or any other such institution.

td posted " 'while another three percent (3%) are undecided' shows how the people have made up their mind on Obama and the job he is doing."
I don't think a large percentage of people have made up their minds on who to vote for, and won't until October. Voters are fickle depending on current circumstances, media events, and campaigning including debates. The media will certainly back Obama even more after Labor Day (yes, it is possible). Gas prices will be going down and who knows where the economy/ jobs reports will be.

The Rogers/Beach contest is the result of a disagreement between some members of the Cherokee County School Board and the Cherokee County legislative delegation over Charter Schools and nothing else. In my opinion School Board members should be elected on a non-partisan basis and keep their noses out of party politics and into improving education. This race will be a barn burner and Rogers will win handily. So will the proposed amendment for the creation of Charter Schools which could improve a sad educational system by giving our kids a better chance for a future.

Wow, the president and media have taken this gay issue and have done a great job diverting away from the real issues that we are all facing today like the unemployment rate being higher than it was 3 years ago and the economy being on the brink of inflation and the horrible healthcare bill that will tax us all in to poverty along with the unbelievable amount of debt we have accumulated over the last three years because of foolish overspending. Look for more issues like this to come up over the next 5 months to try and divert attention away from the real problems he has caused to get him re-elected…

@Dubiously "Man" – Wow the Republicans and media have taken this "economy" issue and done a great job diverting away from the real issue that we are all facing today like the fact that the 1% pay at a lower rate than any time in the last 100 years and that the economy being on the brink of doom because Republicans want to destroy it and that Republicans have NO healthcare ideas except if you get sick you die unless you're rich. Look for more issues like this to come up for the next 5 months to try and divert attention from the real problems they have caused to get them reelected.

Partisans here hated that Romney had the nomination locked up long ago and hoped for a longer process and split convention. Others ignore that Romney has a very high hurdle to overcome to flip Ohio, Virginia, and Colorado on top of Florida, Indiana, and North Carolina. More thought redistricting was not going to favor the sole party in power. More partisans thought the federal government could ignore ILLEGAL immigration for political purposes, and cram a federal healthcare program down our necks. Other partisans put social issues before substantive ones. Yet others delude themselves into thinking incumbents are threatened by the likes of Karen Handel and Brandon Beach. Some partisans simply resort to name calling. Reality often sucks. Get a grip on it.

Mitt Romney is an animal hating sociopathic bully, and anyone that supports him at this point is either a sociopath themselves or a sheep.

Hey, Been Around-Done That-
The republican party of Cherokee co, informed the members of the school board, who voted against the charter school, that they did not represent the Republican party and that they should be stripped of thier R's.
So, who started what? the republicant's started it. When Rodgers is gone, it will end.

While the right and Fox are indignant about the president campaigning on AF1 how do you feel about weekly town halls from the floor of the House of Representatives?
Reminds me of Newt as a back benchers touting GOPAC on CSPAN
I have been consistent in not caring about which president campaigned as POTUS; I mean after all you'll never have another Jimmy Carter "not campaign," like he did in 1980…

"If he's not already worth millions, he will be by the end of his term. Just look at Sonny."
True. In fact Governor Deal has probably already lined up a few of those Chip Rogers/Tom Graves 2 million dollar no collateral "I could never pay them back" loans.

Silicon Valley has generated and created more wealth for CA and the nation in the last 40 years than most of the south has in the last 200 years. At one time, before the administration of ronald raygun, a college education in CA was virtually free to all, which was the mechanism that allowed Silicon Valley to arise. Our backward-a$$ leadership in this state, from its inception has never seen the value of education in the creation of wealth, and as a result this state has perpetually ranked at the bottom of educational excellence. Our esteemed governor and his entourage are off to Turkey soon to "attract industry" to our state, I guess to persuade a fez maker to come here, who will pay the typical $8-9 non union hourly wage the average GA worker can expect. Instead of ensuring this state graduates 1000's of well educated young people every year,that would attract hi-tech, high paying jobs, the 'leaders' give away the store to attract low wage industries then crow about the jobs they created. Over the last several years, the r's have cut education funds, and if rogers has his way, public education will die of starvation. The r's take the view that being barefoot and ignorant was good enough for their grandparents, it should be good enough for the present generation.

Or second largest industry (think shovels and hoes) would rather import Klingon illegals that will work for pocket change than pay a living wage and improve working conditions.

Aaron Burr V Mexico – "the 1% pay at a lower rate than any time in the last 100 years"
Really? Now who's been listening to the media too much? The fact is, the 1% pay more in taxes than the 99%. I am a 1% earner and I pay close to 50% when you factor in all of the extra hidden taxes in our society on top of state and federal taxes. There aren't any tax shelters for those of us earning over 300k per year because they have been taken away or limited to a small amount. I had the maximum amount of taxes taken out of my pay checks each month and I still had to cut a check to the fed govt for $20k last month. If you know of any, please share because my tax guy doesn't.

Truly trying to keep myself motivated and active this fall - in all honesty I hate fall!!! So, to try and beat the blahs I've put a few carrots in front of myself to stay motivated and moving beyond the couch!
I joined a couple different virtual 10k's on Spark this week. I'll be walking both - the first one will be on 10/8/11 and the second will be on 11/5/11. On October 23 I'll be participating in The Fight For Air Stairclimb here in Seattle - climbing 51 flights of stairs!! I've also got a bike ride planned for the 15th which I'm hoping will be at least 60 miles, but farther if my bike partner and I can handle it!! If all goes well we'll be riding together in the STP next July (Seattle to Portland - 204 miles).
So, that's it for now - I'll let you know how it all goes!
Have a great day!!!!
So I need to confess that I've been dealing with some serious depression surrounding several things in life. Not life threatening or even medication needing depression. This is more like feeling sorry for myself, dealing with old issues that have decided to return, etc. 1) when my power lifting coach emailed me some information that made it impossible for me to continue working with him (the 2nd time now that I was nearing my 1st competition) - old memory of being pulled from gymnastics as a kid when my coach had told my mom more than once that he felt that I could make the Olympics. 2) back & knees giving me pain that sometimes makes it really hard to even want to move. 3) grandma dying and not being able to meet my 4 younger kids. 4) my dad being on a mission of destruction. 5) my uncle & aunt cutting me out of their lives when my 15 yr old was under 1 yr. old for reasons they still won't share accept that it was because of my ex (acting really weird at grandma's funeral). 6) my mom deciding to move back to California without even saying goodbye to me or the kids. 7) 4 kids at home (2 teens & 2 pre-teens) on my own; a couple of them struggling with identity issues and just plain old fashioned "I'm a kid, that's my job troubles". To top it off, the summer schedule makes it impossible to go to the gym to do cardio at night like I normally do which has thrown my body into "gain mode" which is not making me happy at all. So, now that I've whined I need to let this stuff go somehow, know that God is in control & that he loves me and the kids no matter what and find a happy place for all of us and make traditions, etc. that the kids can carry on instead of these sick patterns that previous family have instilled in our lives.
What am I doing for myself? Well, I still workout at lunch time and when I can I like to take long bike rides. Saturday is my day to spend 2-3 hrs at the gym depending on what the kids have going on. Staying in contact with my two good girlfriends and occassionally going out to the movies with them just to relax. Tracking food and trying to figure out what's triggering my body into the state that it's in. Any ideas from anybody reading this would be fantastic!!!
Side note: if anybody knows a good plastic surgeon that would like to do pro-bono work, please give them my contact info!
Okay, reevaluation time! Looking through my Muscle & Fitness Hers magazine, old workout routines along with SP resources trying to put together a workout routine that will get the results I'm after. For today I'm doing Bi's/Tri's, abs (multiple varieties) and cardio in the evening.
Lunch workout:
EZ-Bar Curl (full range) 3/15/50#
Tricep Pushdowns 3/30/120#
Standing Dumbbell Curl 3/20/20#
Standing Rope Extensions 3/30/120#
Straight-Bar Cable Curl 3/20/80#
High Cable Curl 3/15/30#
Hammer Curl 3/20/25#
Seated Dumbbell Extension 3/15/30#
Behind the Back Cable Curl 3/15/30#
Machine Abs 3/50/65#
SP 12 minute Pilates Abs
Eliptical @ night and/or Turbofire 55
1.5 gallons water
Calories 1250-1600 (rotating days to see how that works)
By next Monday want to have a new routine for the next 4 weeks hammered out and STICK TO IT!! No more cold/flu bologna I've got goals I want to see met!!!!!
I decided it would be a smart idea to do a total body cleanse right near the beginning of the boot camp challenge that begins on May 1, 2011. So.......here I am taking my cleansing herbs, drinking tons of water & drinking my green drink. I'm hoping this will kick my system into high gear and prepare me for some awesome results.
Looking forward to a great day!
Holy food choices Batman! Something has been happening to me lately that has not been my problem - EVER! At night I haven't been feeling hungry (huh?). Okay for some of us that have struggled with weight for a long time this is a plus, right? Well, not really. I know that if I skip a meal that my body will jump into starvation mode and store my next meal as fat to "save my life" - thanks body, I appreciate that
So for those of you that haven't struggled with eating as much - can this be because I've finally changed my ways and haven't been bogarting my calories for the end of the day (Lord I made it through) meal? I've never experienced this and would love to understand if this is what a "normal" person is like. Kind of blows my mind.
For now I'm just going to enjoy the fact that I'm not racing home to throw together a high calorie meal that puts me in a coma within 20 minutes.
Now.........to a wonderful day

Turkish Figs
Certified: Gluten-Free Kosher
Moist and succulent, dried Turkish Figs are simply great! These figs are all natural with no preservatives and one of the sweetest fruits available. Always moist and always fresh, these Turkish figs are tops when it comes to snacking and baking.
Health Tips
2. Turkish figs are fat-free and, like other plant foods, cholesterol-free.
3. Turkish figs are high in fiber, providing 20% of the Daily Value --- more dietary fiber per serving than any other common dried or fresh fruit.
4. Of the approximately five grams of fiber per serving of Turkish figs, four grams are insoluble and one gram is water-soluble.
5. Figs have the highest overall mineral content of all common fruits. A 40 gram (1/4 cup) serving provides 244 mg of potassium (7% of the DV), 53 mg of calcium (6% of the DV) and 1.2 mg of iron (6% of the DV).
6. Turkish figs fit into 5-A-Day -- the 40 gram serving is an easy way to add a serving of fruit to reach the daily recommendation of five fruits and vegetables.
7. The antioxidant boost provided by fruit consumption lasts about 2 hours. Which dried fruits are the best? Of the six fruits tested--apricots, cranberries, dates, figs, raisins and plums--shooting to a surprise finish at number one was... figs! Even the high fructose corn syrup in the soda is no match for the antioxidant power of fruit. Despite the double sugar load, subjects washing down their figs with soda still experienced an overall rise in antioxidant levels in their bloodstream. In addition to having the highest antioxidant content among the six fruits tested, of the thousands of whole foods in the USDA nutrient database, figs make the top ten for fiber content.

Sharon, Millersville, MD January 12, 2007
"My neighbor introduced me to Turkish figs about 2 weeks ago and I fell in love with them. It tastes like you're eating a Fig Newton, only all natural. I ordered my products on Tuesday and the package arrived the next day! Super, fast service. I'll be ordering again real soon because my Mom liked the figs so much that she took a bag of mine home with her. Another one of my neighbors just stopped by and I passed along your website to her. We're all trying to cut back, so this is a nice treat to have. Way to go, NUTS ONLINE!"
Lara, Grafton, WV November 15, 2006
"These figs are absolutely delicious. Just received my order a few minutes ago, and couldn't resist digging in. Sweet, fresh, soft and simply scrumptious- as always, Nutsonline does not disappoint!"
Joyce, Phelan, CA September 1, 2006
"WOW! What fast service. I couldn't wait to open the package and taste one of the Turkish figs. What a wonderful treat. Thank you so much."
Ton W, Florida August 31, 2006
"Hi I just received the order for 10 pounds of Turkish figs and 3 pound of raw almonds.
The figs are the best I ever tasted. Delicious.
The almonds are great also."
Stephen L. Vinson, Abilene, TX August 30, 2006
"My order for Turkish Figs from Nuts Online arrived exactly when promised and the product was superior in every way. What more could you want from a supplier? "
Jeri, Pittsburgh, PA August 20, 2006
"Oh my gosh! I lived in Turkey for five years. It's known for its great food, but one of the things I loved most were the wonderful dried figs, which were always fat and moist, not dessicated like you find most other places. We buy them by the kilo! It's one of the foods I miss most (they're a great pre-workout snack!), so when I saw them on your website, I ordered a pound, but was skeptical they'd be the same.
Well, I just tried them and was stunned to find the same excellent figs we ate in Turkey. These were fabulous, and the pound bag will disappear quickly. You have a customer for as long as you carry these!"
David, New Albany July 14, 2006
"I received my 5 pound bag of dried figs in good order, and they taste great. I am diabetic, but can enjoy these figs in moderation with no problem. Thanks"

Multcolib My Librarian Heather: Women's studies 101
Annotation:Masterpiece weaves together history, philosophy, economics, biology, and a host of other disciplines to analyze the Western notion of "woman" and to explore the power of sexuality. Sixty years after its initial publication, The Second Sex is still as eye-opening and pertinent as ever.
Annotation:This is the book that launched the Second Wave of the feminist movement, and has been awakening women and men with its insights into social relations, which still remain fresh, ever since.
Annotation:This is an analysis of our society's increasing demand that women be thin. It offers a careful, thought provoking discussion of the reasons men have encouraged this obsession and women have embraced it.
Annotation:Wolf says the new obsession with women's appearance arose as part of a violent backlash against feminism, a political weapon imposing on women new restrictions.
Annotation:This is a richly textured account of the ways women created the cosmetics industry and cosmetics created the modern woman.
Annotation:The groundbreaking work that poses one of the most provocative questions of a generation: what is happening to the selves of adolescent girls?
Annotation:When women sacrifice their financial autonomy by quitting their jobs, they become vulnerable to divorce as well as the potential illness, death, or unemployment of their breadwinner husbands. But women who stop working sacrifice far more than financial security.
Annotation:In this, the snags in each feminist hub are revealed, all the while proving that they had not imperiled the future of the feminist cause. The book went on to inspire a new generation of female readers, and has become a classic of contemporary feminist literature.

Hi spyro,
Did you connect the grounds?
You should try the servo exams on this site first... At least we'll know the code is OK.
Also, if that doesn't work, try connecting the servo to its own 3v-6v battery (and connect the grounds). Sometimes there isn't enough current for both, although usually the symptom is that the Arduino reboots.

Choosing Jesus at Christmas
- Tuesday, December 07, 2004
The grave could not contain Him! He chose to rise again! He chose to spend more time with His beloved. He chose to send His Holy Spirit to guide us and protect us until that day when the Father chooses that the Son should come again for His bride.
So, now the choice is up to me...and you. Do you choose Jesus?
If so, how will you celebrate the season we have set aside to remember His birth? Will you fret and worry over purchase choices? Parties to attend, dresses to wear, suits to press? Or will you choose to tell your children, your grandchildren, your coworkers, your neighbors...anyone who will listen that the choice is theirs as well.
And that oh, what a beautiful choice it is!
*Paraphrased by author from Genesis 3

Looks like trick-or-treating for Halloween is as popular with my garden visitors as it is with kids.
No, I'm not talking about those four-legged twins with doe-eyes that look longingly at my hydrangeas through my deer fencing. I'm referring to the many birds that flock to my garden to eat aphids, mealybugs, mites and spiders, keeping the insect population under control without me lifting a finger. What could be more convenient and beautiful to watch?
Throughout the year, there are many resident birds that help me in the garden as they go about their business of nesting and raising their young. Ladybugs and other beneficial insects also do their part, but it's the songbirds I depend on to really get in there and do a clean sweep.
As if that's not enough, I get to hear them sing and call to one another and enjoy their bright plumage as they flit through the trees.
My garden is not very big. I have a small birdbath to provide water for drinking and bathing. Several hummingbird feeders supplement the food supply when they are feeding their young and to help them through the winter.
The plants I grow provide foliage, nectar, pollen, berries, seeds and nuts for all wildlife (except those deer) that visit my garden. Shrubs provide hiding places and shelter for birds and other wildlife to raise their young, avoid predators and get out of inclement weather.
In return, they keep my garden healthy. I'm getting a good deal, if you ask me.
Just this morning I was happy to welcome my resident flock of chestnut-backed chickadees, which proceeded to scour every perennial, shrub and tree — like acrobats looking for insects and seeds. They are quite tame and friendly and easily attracted to feeding stations.
At the same time, a group of brilliant yellow and black Townsend's warblers arrived to survey the scene. They prefer our cool fir and redwood forests in the fall and spring and also find food in oaks, madrones and bay trees. These little birds are so bright you can see them from quite a distance.
Hopping about and scratching the ground to expose beetles and worms, a couple of American robins were doing their share of insect control. They also love the leftover blackberries still hanging on the vine.
Back up in the trees, the acorn woodpeckers were working on beetles and grubs hiding under the bark. These are just some of the feathered help I have visiting my garden.
What can you do to encourage this free labor?
In addition to oaks and madrones, plant trees like crabapple, hawthorn, loquat, dogwood and fruit trees for colorful fruits and berries. Native shrubs like Oregon grape, toyon, coffeeberry, California wax myrtle, snowberry, coyote brush, manzanita and elderberry all have berries that attract birds. Ceanothus are among the most valued shrubs as a food source, as they attract bushtits, finches, grosbeaks, hummingbirds, mockingbirds, quail, thrashers, thrushes, towhees, warblers, white-crowned sparrows and wrentits. Other shrubs to include are Japanese barberry, roses and junipers.
Hummingbirds do their share of spider control when they have young and need extra protein. Native plants like salvia, sagebrush, buckwheat, flowering currant as well as garden favorites like flowering maple, fuchsia and coral bells all provide nectar for them and butterflies, too.
Other things you can do to attract birds to your garden include:
- Avoid using chemical insecticides. Most birds eat insects and spiders. If you spray your plants with chemicals, you'll create a sterile wasteland for protein-eating birds. You'll also kill butterflies and their larvae. Spray organic pesticides only if you absolutely have to, and direct the spray carefully.
- Be nonfastidious. The best wildlife habitats are not overly manicured. The less often you rake under bushes, the better it is for the birds. Accumulated duff gives a place for insects and other creatures to breed and live. When possible, leave small brush piles in out-of-the-way places.
- A bird-watching bonus: If you'd like to identify the birds that you've attracted, you can get a free check list of the birds of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park from the gift shop. Many of those birds will be in your garden, too. The shop also sells a beautiful laminated color chart of birds of Monterey Bay area. It's fun to have by your kitchen window for quick reference when you see a splash of yellow fly by.

Entertainment Tonight
Miley Cyrus' NSFW video for her song "Wrecking Ball" has set a new record, and it's not for most times making out with a sledge hammer on camera.
"Wrecking Ball" became the most-viewed VEVO video within a 24-hour period. The 20-year-old singer tweeted her excitement, writing: "We broke the record :) We hit 12.3 million on vevo :) keep watching #wreckingballonvevo thank you Smilers"
Bing: Miley performs with band of little people
Meanwhile, Miley's dad showed his support for his daughter, despite her swinging almost nude atop a wrecking ball in her new video. Billy Ray, 52, tweeted: "Trying to type, tweet, twerk and ride a wrecking ball naked all at the same time while carrying a sledge hammer is proving difficult! PEACE"
Noah Cyrus responded to her big sister's critics, writing on Instagram: "Leave Miley alone, because I can't promise you a lot of things, but I can promise you this. Miley is the most talented, inspiring person I know. and she can be herself ... that's something I am too afraid of doing. Leave her alone. Id like to see you go up and perform in front of millions of people and make it the most talked about performance of the year. But say what you wanna say."

...and in a few months, people will be asking... "Why didn't someone try to stop her?"... and, "Her father/brother should have done something!" "Right?" "Right?" "Shouldn't somebody have done something?"
The girl is trying to stay relevant... she is well past her talent quota... and her brother apparently don't know the difference, but her father certainly does!
Putting on a fierce family front leaves them all in the clear... as the Lohan family was ultimately all torn apart in their effort to control the daughter... Mom... Dad... desperately trying to help, with their hands in her purse... and now, according to Lindsey's latest quips and quotes... everybody is perfectly fine! Love Mom and Dad... they were just trying to help... thanks Oprah, for giving me the opportunity to jerk my fans around one more time!
Miley don't stand a chance at this point... with such childish behavior and bad acting... like teaching a ten year old to fake an orgasm for a scene in the movie and not explaining what she is attempting to portray... WHAT!!!
Lick a sledge hammer? Really? She's gotta be... "like a virgin, kissed for the very first time"!

Sandcrawler PSA: Stop Bacon Abuse!
One whiny Muslima in Vermont complains that seeing the word Bacon offends here delicate sensitivities.
In Winooski, Vermont, city officials like to involve local businesses in its efforts to keep flower beds healthy and thriving in town.Horrid!
The deal is that if shops help with gardening, they can post advertisements for their services in those same spots, noted WPTZ-TV in Burlington.
So after Sneakers Bistro & Cafe kicked in for Operation Bloom at the bottom of the Winooski Circle, the restaurant put a bright yellow sign on a lamp post telling drivers to Yield for Bacon at Sneakers.
Soon a discussion about diversity was underway on the Winooski Front Porch Forum, highlighted by one woman who wrote that the sign was insensitive to those who dont consume pork and as a Muslim shes offended by it, WPTZ reported.
Once the bistro owners found out about the complaint, they told the station they reached out to the woman and then took the sign down.
Woman named CRISPI uses BACON to try and burn down ex-boyfriend's home.America, I just don't know her anymore.

Perspective on Ferguson
Guns! Violence! People running naked in the streets!
Protests escalated again late Monday night as police fired tear gas at protesters who defied police by refusing orders to disperse, instead gathering in groups near the QuikTrip and other Ferguson spots.Meanwhile, in Chicago, Obama's hometown, just another day at the office.
Police fired at least three tear gas volleys near the QuikTrip as emergency vehicles sped to the scene. Police also used tear gas to break up protesters near West Florissant and Northwoods Estates.
Seven people have been killed and at least 29 others wounded in shootings across the city since Friday evening, police said.

Yes, Most Judges Are this Stupid (And why lawyers make terrible Judges of the Constitution)
The judge who just ruled the Constitution requires states to recognize same-sex marriage? Yeah, this judge also thinks the Constitution says all men are created equal:
"Our Constitution declares that 'all men' are created equal. Surely this means all of us," Judge Allen wrote on the first page of her opinion. That line opens the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence and appears nowhere in the Constitution.Somewhere Thomas Jefferson and James Madison are rolling over in their graves.
This is also why we can't trust lawyers to know the difference between 'Constitutional' and 'I like it so it must be in the Constitution'. These people aren't taught the Constitution in 'Constitutional Law', instead they are taught what Courts have said about the Constitution.
It's studying the Constitution, once removed. Not studying the object of study itself, instead only studying what others have said about the object.
I'd bet that if you asked a sample of judges in the country if they can name one thing that, say Article VII of the Constitution talks about, that fewer than 10% could do it.
I'd also guess that an even smaller percentage could define 'Constitutionalism' (which is the notion that government can be limited through written charter).
Instead, they are taught 'legal reasoning' -- or how to think like a lawyer. They are then taught case law, which is that 'law' is nothing more than what judges say it is and that it evolves over time. They then apply this 'legal reasoning' and case law methodologies to the Constitution.
But the Constitution can't be read like normal laws nor does normal legal reasoning apply to it. The entire reason for writing down the Constitution was to insure that the will of the people superseded the whims of government. And since judges are government, then deciding what the Constitution means based on what people in government says is very much the opposite of what the Founders intended. It is letting the inmates decide the rules of the asylum.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a diatribe against judicial review. It is a diatribe against judges who are too dumb to realize that normal legal reasoning cannot be applied to the Constitution.
The Constitution trumps normal law because it was 'ordained' (See Preamble and Article VII) by the people. This is at the root of the argument for judicial review -- the sovereign will of the people as established in the Constitution cannot be overridden by agents of the government -- normally state legislatures and Congress. What judges fail to see, though, is that agents of the government included them.
There are three branches of government, not two. Courts are government!
The reason we wrote down the Constitution was to limit what people in government do -- including judges. And because the Constitution is written law that trumps case law, it must be interpreted as written and not as we would have liked it to have been written. It can never 'evolve' because it isn't case law. It cannot mean one thing one day and then something else the next day. There are no 'principles' that trump the actual text of the document. Judges are no more empowered to exercise power not granted to them by the sovereign people than Congress or state legislatures.
This judge needs to be impeached. In fact, all judges that 'find' things in the Constitution that aren't there need to be impeached. If a judge thinks there are Constitutional 'principles' they need to be impeached. If they think the Constitution can 'evolve' they need to be impeached.
If the Constitution empowers the judiciary to check Congress, then it also empowers Congress to check an out of control federal judiciary. Impeach the bastards!
Yeah, I know that ain't going to happen anytime soon. But one can dream, can't they?

R Legislator Convicted for Assault on Women Still in Statehouse, Media Ignores
Did I say "R"? I meant "D". Which kind of explains why pretty much no one in the media is reporting this, yet they spend literally hours and hours of air time discussing what Republicans say. Because WAR ON WOMEN! or something.
Remember, this guy was actually convicted yet the first time I heard about it was when I got an email from DaTechGuy this morning. The media always frames these things as local aberrations when it's a D so pays it no national attention, but when the same thing happens with an R it's a national story because its indicative of some broader phenomenon.

Muslim State of Ohio Employee Pleads Guilty to Bribery (Le Bump-ed)
The former State Deputy Treasurer of Ohio, exposed on The Jawa Report as a man with deep ties to Islamist extremists and of giving out state contracts to his friends and relatives, has pleaded guilty to bribery charges:
As his wife quietly cried in the federal courtroom, a former high-ranking Ohio official admitted yesterday to a $3.2 million kickback scheme that occurred while he was the states deputy treasurer.That crying wife? She was one of the recipients int he kickback scheme.
Amer Ahmad, 39, now of Chicago, pleaded guilty to bribery and to conspiracy to commit bribery, wire fraud and money laundering, two of the eight counts against him.
Apparently he pleaded guilty to keep his wife out of jail. But wait, there's more:
The most recent was Columbus attorney Mohammed Noure Alo, 35, who pleaded guilty on Friday to wire fraud. As part of a plea agreement, a conspiracy charge against Alo will be dropped.And how did Ahmad know Alo? The two attended a mosque with extremist ties together.
Ahmads troubles might be just beginning.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas W. Squires said an investigation continues into questions about a contract that the state treasurers office had during Ahmads tenure with State Street Bank in Boston. The bank hired Alo, an immigration lawyer, as its lobbyist shortly before it received $32 million in contracts from the treasurers office.
So, watch out for the cornholes guys!
Thanks to Barbarossa.

Private Organization Forcibly Takes DNA From Random Drivers (update: Private as in George Soros)
Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, purporting themselves to be police officers, directed vehicles to pull off a main road into a parking lot, where the drivers were ordered to give DNA samples.
What's most frightening is that so many willingly gave up their Constitutuional rights without even a whimper.
Some drivers along a busy North Fort Worth street on Friday were stopped at police roadblock and directed into a parking lot, where they were asked by federal contractors for samples of their breath, saliva and even blood. [...]
Fort Worth police Sgt. Kelly Peel said he could not immediately locate any record of Fort Worth officers being involved in the roadblock but said he was still checking Monday evening.
A spokesman for nearby Haltom City police said his department was not involved.
NBC DFW confirmed that the survey was done by a government contractor, the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, which is based in Calverton, Md.
PIRE is a privately funded nonprofit organization that researches alcohol and drug issues.
Update by Howie: Behind PIRE is the Dark Lord George Soros.
P.S. He also wants your guns.

How To Hack Helthcare.gov Without Really Trying
Just sign up, they'll do the rest for you.
Justin Hadley logged on to HealthCare.gov to evaluate his insurance options after his health plan was canceled. What he discovered was an apparent security flaw that disclosed eligibility letters addressed to individuals from another state.Too late Mr. Dougall, the site clearly states in the comments section (available under view source on your browser) that the government now owns your personal information and they are free to do with it as they please and if they send it to say someone else, you can't sue them for doing their job because they are the government.
I was in complete shock, said Hadley, who contacted Heritage after becoming alarmed at the breach of privacy.
After learning of the privacy breach, Dougall spent Friday evening trying to contact representatives from HealthCare.gov to no avail; he spent an hour waiting on the telephone and an online chat session was unhelpful. He also wrote to Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Tim Scott (R-SC), along with Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC).
I want my personal information off of that website, Dougall said.

Good News! Obama Waves Ban on Arming Terrorists for Syrian Rebels
President Obama waived a provision of federal law designed to prevent the supply of arms to terrorist groups to clear the way for the U.S. to provide military assistance to "vetted" opposition groups fighting Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.Well al-Qaeda is not a state... yet. But helping them acquire a state somehow apparently became in our national interest.
Some elements of the Syrian opposition are associated with radical Islamic terrorist groups, including al Qaeda, which was responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa., in 2001. Assad's regime is backed by Iran and Hezbollah.
The president, citing his authority under the Arms Export Control Act, announced today that he would "waive the prohibitions in sections 40 and 40A of the AECA related to such a transaction."
Those two sections prohibit sending weaponry to countries described in section 40(d): "The prohibitions contained in this section apply with respect to a country if the Secretary of State determines that the government of that country has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism," Congress stated in the Arms Control Export Act.

Filthy Filner has .... Supporters?
Typical Bob Filner supporter
You'd think that "Bob Filner supporters" would be the least likely phrase in politics. You'd be wrong:
[San Diego Mayor Bob Filner's] supporters, which include some labor unions and Latinos, claim Filner is being denied due process, and the recall effort is orchestrated by those who oppose his political agenda.Are Democrats this petty? Why yes, they are.
And notice which elements of the party are supporting Filner. Why don't you take your Amnesty and stuff it down the Filner pipe.

Must Read: Nidal Hasan More Honest than Obama
You have to read this from Mark Steyn. All of it. But here's the key takeaway:
Hence, the Internet petition. Linking to it from their homepage, my colleagues at National Review Online promoted it with the tag: Thirteen people lost their lives with dozens of others wounded. And now the man responsible wants to claim it was workplace violence.Hasn't the argument by the Left whenever any one in the military accidentally stepped on the toe of one of our enemies who then cried torture! something along the lines of we're better then they are, we have to keep the moral high ground.
Thats not true and actually its grossly unfair to Major Hasan. Hes admirably upfront about who and what he is a Soldier of Allah, as he put on his business card. On Tuesday, he admitted he was a traitor who had crossed over from the bad side (Americas) to the good side (Islams). He has renounced his U.S. citizenship and its effete protections such as workplace-violence disability leave. He professes loyalty to Americas enemies. He says, I am the shooter. He helpfully informs us that thats his gun. In this weeks one-minute statement, he spoke more honestly and made more sense than Obama, Gates, Casey, the Armed Forces Court of Appeals, two judges, the prosecution and defense lawyers, and mountains of bureaucratic reports and media coverage put together.
It was the same argument they used for closing Gitmo. But isn't being honest also a moral value we should hold our military to?
When an avowed traitor and terrorist is more honest than the Administration and military brass prosecuting him, then haven't we lost the moral high ground? Why isn't the Left complaining about that?
It's simple. It was never about the moral high ground to the Left. It was always about hating America. Nothing more, nothing less.
Oh, they say they love America. And they may believe it. But it's the kind of love an abusive husband has for his wife: if only she'd lose a few pounds, then everything would be ok between us.
Yeah, he really "loves" that fat ugly bitch. Those are love marks around her neck.

Tom Friedman: Farmers Are Kinda Like al Qaeda
Thomas Friedman
(Photo courtesy NY Times)
Is Thomas Friedman the dumbest columnist in America? Short answer: yes. Long answer: hell yes:
Our film crew came to look at the connection between the drought in Kansas and the rise in global food prices that helped to fuel the Arab uprisings. But I stumbled upon another powerful environmental insight here: the parallel between how fossil fuels are being used to power monoculture farms in the Middle West and how fossil fuels are being used to power wars to create monoculture societies in the Middle East. And why both are really unhealthy for their commons.He goes on to draw some sort of allegorical connection between Western "monoagriculture" and radicals Islamists who want a "monoculture":
What is going on in the Arab world today is a relentless push, also funded by fossil fuels, for more monocultures. Its Al Qaeda trying to purify the Arabian Peninsula. Its Shiites and Sunnis, funded by oil money, trying to purge each other in Iraq and SyriaCorn farmers are like al Qaeda. Soybean farmers the Taliban. And moisture farmers -- the ultimate in monoagriculture? Well, I guess they're Hezbollah.
But seriously, this guy is a noted "intellectual" on the Left. So, you'd think he would have read Adam Smith.
"Monoagriculture" is just what Adam Smith called "task specialization". When one person -- or one nation -- does one job he tends to do it very well and the thing he produces tends to be much, much cheaper. This isn't advanced economic theory, and it's something that all schools of economics agree upon -- even neo-Keynsians, like Friedman's idol Paul Krugman.
Forget Adam Smith. Even Karl Mark understood this.
You know what we call farmers who aren't engaged in "monoagriculture"? Subsistence farmers. And the occasional hippie.
The defining characteristic of which is this: they are dirt poor.
What Tom Friedman says about monoagricutlure uses more fossil fuels and water than it's alternative is true. Those things do cost more. But what he doesn't tell you is that the substitute for these things is labor.
So, you don't want to use a modern tractor or harvester? Try picking corn by hand or reaping wheat with a scythe. Sure, less greenhouse gasses emitted. Sure, there's less of a chance for catastrophic failure of a crop.
But it's also way more expensive! So, too, when farmers aren't allowed to specialize. Food becomes more expensive. There's a reason farmers in Idaho tend to focus on potatoes and farmers in Mississippi on soybeans. This isn't rocket science, and it's not advanced economics.
If rocketing food prices helped cause the Arab Spring and its consequent unrest in the Middle East, as Friedman argues, then let's see what the price of basic staples like corn or potatoes will be when farmers are forced to "diversify". Which is just another way of saying "planting less of it in lieu of something else". It's more expensive that way.
And then to draw some sort of comparison between that and ... al Qaeda? Because .... diversity!
I'm surprised he didn't try to work in Trayvon Martin into the argument. Because of diversity!
Which once again goes to show that stupid ain't just a river in Egypt.

Good Old Boys at KYEM Only Wasted 5.6 Million of Your Tax Dollars
KYEM that's the Kentucky Department of Emergency Management. They spent your money on such things as alcohol and Elvis impersonators. Then falsified receipts to make it appear they were legitimate expenses.
When the state auditor tried to Audit the books, the director Gen. John W. Heltzel threatened employees not the talk to the auditor, lest he would retaliate against them at work.
An examination of the state agency that coordinates disaster relief turned up massive misspending and abuses of public trust, including $103,000 in taxpayer money spent on liquor, food and entertainment at an annual gala.
Edelen released the findings of the audit Tuesday at a news conference in Frankfort. He reported $2.3 million in questionable spending from the agency, which handles hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grant money meant for disaster stricken communities.
"The report paints a picture of agency leadership that does not believe the rules apply to it," Edelen said in a news release. "The findings raise concerns about waste and abuse that may have gone undetected and jeopardize federal funding meant to prepare the Commonwealth for emergencies."
Along with alleged misspending and poor accounting, auditors accused KYEM officials of intimidating employees to keep them from coming forward with allegations of abuse.
"As auditors were wrapping up the exam, KYEM employees informed them that the director had openly threatened retaliation upon learning who talked to the auditor's staff," the office said in its findings.
The auditors also found instances in which documents were apparently altered to cover up misspending.
The full audit report is here.
All the parties involved were appointed by Democratic Governor Steve Beshear.
Mistakes may have been made," the agency replied, but "no illegal, immoral or unethical actions have been initiated or condoned by the division leadership."I mean what you expect General Heltzel to buy his own lunch on only 80k per year plus his salary as a general in the national guard? Don't you know times are hard?
Edelen brushed aside that defense during his news conference.
"There is no such thing as accidentally altering documents," Edelen said. "They are literally caught red-handed here."
A friend of Jawa who knows General Heltzel and actually did serve his country describes him to me as, "An arrogant POS".

Reuters Still Promoting "White Hispanic" Thing
You know, as the first White African American in the Oval Office, I'd expect President Obama to speak out on this:
Zimmerman, a white Hispanic man, was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter on Saturday after a racially charged trial that has triggered demonstrations across the country.This reminds me of a scene from King of the Hill that I always thought was funny. I tried to find a video clip, but couldn't.
It was a quip from Khan (a Laotian) about Tiger Woods being the first Asian PGA star.
You ever hear anyone call Tiger Woods a "Black Asian"?
Thanks to Matt.

Why, exactly like this ....
You'll notice that Kiara Hatcher, who apparently wants to kill George Zimmerman, works for HGA Support Services. I don't know about you, but I don't think I'd want someone like that taking care of my loved one.
Also, if you're stupid enough to join a "Kill Zimmerman" community using your real name, then you probably aren't smart enough to do anything more than work at WalMart anyway.

Facebook Group Promotes "RIOT for Trayvon"
Don't accuse them of not giving the police fair warning .....
"They don't think we will tear this mutha fucka up! LIKE IF YOU READY TO RIDE! LET'S FLEX OUR MUSCLE! WHAT, YOU SCARED?"
And another of their posts:
This would be the same Facebook that closed my account, claiming that I had violated their TOS. And since the guy who tipped me about the account also sent me proof that he already has complained to Facebook about the Trayvon Riot organizers, then every minute this group is still on Facebook is a minute that Facebook is complicit.
UPDATE: It looks like the Facebook page is down.
State Dept Spent $630,000 on Sock Puppets
The real problem here is that the sock puppets are the best people we have in the State Department.
State Department officials spent $630,000 to get more Facebook likes, prompting employees to complain to a government watchdog that the bureau was buying fans in social media, the agencys inspector general says.Wow just think how many Priuseses they could have bought with that. Or security guards even.
The departments Bureau of International Information Programs spent the money to increase its likes count between 2011 and March 2013.

Outrage! Bloomberg's Shadowy Liberal Group Mayors Against Guns Mourns Tamerlan Tsarnaev Death
During the rally, supporters of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns read the names of those killed with guns since the Dec. 14 Newtown shootings and Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaevs name was memorialized among the names of the dead. (Tsarnaev, of course, was killed in a police shootout.)
Some of the loudest shouts came when a reader spoke the name of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects who was killed by police during a gunfight.

IRS Official's Lawyer: Lois Lerner Will Plead The Fifth Before The House Oversight Committee Hearing
She didn't target TEA Party groups, nor did anyone tell her too... honest!
[ZIP]WASHINGTON A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agencys improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups.Her lawyer wants her excused from the hearing so as not to embarrass and burden her
Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, wont answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening or why she didnt reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd.
Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday
[LA Times]Taylor, a criminal defense attorney from the Washington firm of Zuckerman Spaeder, said that the Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation, and that the House committee has asked Lerner to explain why she provided false or misleading information to the committee four times last year.Boo frickin hoo, make her plead the Fifth for all to see.
Since Lerner wont answer questions, Taylor asked that she be excused from appearing, saying that would have no purpose other than to embarrass or burden her. There was no immediate word whether the committee will grant her request.
Watch the dems try to turn this into a 'war on women' thingy like they did with Susan Rice's Benghazi clusterfruck on the Sunday talk shows.
As far as the DOJ conducting an investigation, yeah just like how well they did with the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case and Fast and Furious gun running.
The corrupt investigating the corrupt.
If this happens, hello, special prosecutor, are you out there?

Government Loses 556lbs Of Explosives
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Wednesday that it is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for stealing 559 pounds of explosives last month near Red Lodge.
The theft happened sometime in April when thieves broke into a U.S. Forest Service storage bunker about two miles south of Red Lodge, said Brad Beyersdorf, an ATF spokesman.
Items stolen included emulsion-type explosives, explosive cast boosters and detonating cord.
Pressure cookers not included.

In The Future Everyone Will be Extremists
An Army Reserve training poster lists various types of extremists. Including the usual, al-Qaeda, and the Muslim Brotherhood whom the Obama administration called mostly secular.
Also included the world's 1.18 billion Catholics and of course Islamophobes.... those are people who have an irrational fear of having their head sloppily chopped off with a butcher knife.
Hot Air: This one earns the coveted Duke University triple facepalm, the highest honor we can award for self-beclowning. An Army Reserve training class attempted to instruct soldiers on the various extremist groups of the world, dutifully noting al-Quaeda, with with the US armed forces are at war, and Hamas, which the State Department lists as a terrorist organization. Both of those, however, come below a couple of extremist groups so fringe that only about 60 million Americans count themselves among their ranks:
One does have to be amused, however, at the last entry on the list Islamophobia. That follows a half-dozen references to various Islamist groups, including one that the Obama administration is currently attempting to engage (the Muslim Brotherhood), and Sunni Muslims without any other qualifiers. I imagine the Shiites appreciate that conclusion...

The Obama administration is engaged in a broad push to make more home loans available to people with weaker credit, an effort that officials say will help power the economic recovery but that skeptics say could open the door to the risky lending that caused the housing crash in the first placeWhen the loans go bad Obama and Barney Frank will hold a joint press conference and sing Its All Boooshes' Fault in blessed show tune type harmony.
Housing officials are urging the Justice Department to provide assurances to banks, which have become increasingly cautious, that they will not face legal or financial recriminations if they make loans to riskier borrowers who meet government standards but later default.

Presidential Limo AFU in Israel (Updated: WTF?)
t can withstand biochemical attacks and a barrage of gunfire but apparently not a drop of diesel fuel.Apparently the guy who pumps the gas was on furlough. Cause you know, only in the government to you need a qualified trained individual to pump gas.
President Barack Obamas customized Cadillac limousine often referred to as The Beast was photographed on the back of a flat-bed hauler in Israel today. Israeli press is reporting someone mistakenly filled the vehicle with diesel fuel, which caused the breakdown.
Update: Jawa Report agents are always actively investigating these important issues.
The Presidential limo runs on Diesel fuel.
Among the truck-derived greasy bits may be the engine. It's been reported that the limo uses a 6.5L diesel V8 which got me thinking about whether it might be a Tier 2 Bin 5 compliant clean diesel. I contacted Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell who gave me the following response, "We're just not permitted to discuss that at all -- and in fact I don't even know the engine aspects of the car. So it's not the case that I'm just choosing not to tell you -- I don't know and would not be permitted to know."So its been rumored that it runs on Diesel, its been speculated it might run on biofuels as well.
But I went and looked some more.. GM tells GAS.org it does run on diesel fuel.
The most significant detail of Cadillac One (C1), from an alternative-fuels standpoint, is the limos 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V8 engine.I guess only the Juice know for sure.
If it did run on diesel fuel and someone put gas in it, well that's a whole other rods came through the block story. Unless there is some high tech gadget that says Oh no! Shut them all down!

LA Fugitive's Leftist Manifesto
Remember that after you read this, you need to go back to the Right Wing Extremists are Dangerous narrative, lest you find yourself on the wrong side of some fascist liberal's world view and get hurt.
SooperMexican: Ive been following closely the news story about Chris Dorner, who is now suspected of murdering three people, including one police officer, and shooting another two police officers. He is targeting police and their families for what he says is a corrupt system that robbed him of his name and his life.I'll quote the first part of what SooperMexican found.
However, I started noticing that some of the details the media was talking about didnt fit the released manifesto Ive read everywhere. Especially interesting, is that KFIs morning news regurgitator Bill Handel had mentioned some pro-Obama comments and anti-NRA sentiments in the manifesto.
... However, I was able to find a complete copy of the posting, from the website Crime File News the details in it corroborate with the reading that Bill Handel gave on the KFI morning show today.
Pro Gun Control:Read the rest.
Who in there right mind needs a fucking silencer!!! who needs a freaking SBR AR15? No one. No more Virginia Tech, Columbine HS, Wisconsin temple, Aurora theatre, Portland malls, Tucson rally, Newtown Sandy Hook. Whether by executive order or thru a bi-partisan congress an assault weapons ban needs to be re-instituted. Period!!!
Mia Farrow said it best. Gun control is no longer debatable, its not a conversation, its a moral mandate.
Sen. Feinstein, you are doing the right thing in leading the re-institution of a national AWB. Never again should any public official state that their prayers and thoughts are with the family.
Hat Tip: Bryan Preston.
Update: From the complete copy of the posting linked above in the quotes text his list of "high value targets" starting with Whitey.
Those Caucasian officers who join South Bureau divisions.So pretty much everyone that's not him.
Those Black officers in supervisory ranks and pay grades...
Those Hispanic officers
Those lesbian officers
Those Asian officers
Those of you who "go along to get along"
Update LA PD mistook some folks in a truck for Chris Dorner and opened fire.
Los Angeles officers guarding a "target" named in the posting shot and wounded multiple people in Torrance who were in a pickup but were not involved, authorities said. The extent of their injuries was not released. It's not clear if the target is a person or a location.
The Daily Breeze in Torrance also reports (http://bit.ly/YWhBLi) that there was another police shooting nearby involving another pickup truck, but the driver wasn't hurt.

Anyway, there's more over at Breitbart.

"He sold his soul for a shot of fame." Thanks to David Bowie there for that update on Andy Millman's life. Season Two sees the former extra graduate to fame, via the terrible sitcom he's written. Little else has changed for the characters around Andy, with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's more sitcom-like follow up to The Office remaining a slow-burning examination of ball-shrinking embarrassment.
