Estrogen Gone Wild! Casey Anthony Edition.

For starters, kids that can't read signs should not hold them in a protest. It is intellectually dishonest.
The Casey Anthony Heads, AKA, the Nancy Grace Mafia, need to go back to their normal routines of SSRI's, Weight Watchers ice cream, and Julian Rios dildo sodomy parties. They make me miss the good old days of Tea Party Patriots protesting government programs they use and love.
One of them just went on CNN HLN (or the Casey T.V.) and demanded a retrial! So for her, and the legions of crust amongst them, I offer Amendments 4-8 of the U.S. Constitution:

• Fourth Amendment – Protection from unreasonable search and seizure.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

• Fifth Amendment – due process, double jeopardy, self-incrimination, eminent domain.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

• Sixth Amendment – Trial by jury and rights of the accused; Confrontation Clause, speedy trial, public trial, right to counsel

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

• Seventh Amendment – Civil trial by jury.

In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

• Eighth Amendment – Prohibition of excessive bail and cruel and unusual punishment.

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

All 5 of these deal with rights of people accused of crimes. The Founders were clear that the worst thing a judicial system could do would be to incarcerate an innocent person. What the protesting turds fail to swallow is that the process that liberated Casey protects them from wrongful conviction as well. Then again, it is difficult to reason with an angry, insecure mob that is so sad the cute chick will be free before the fall.

the face of stupidity

because white people have no rights...

the lulz boat

if you're not privy to the new shit...

so, there's like totally this whole network of hackers out there that have been disrupting shit on a pretty huge level. aside from their hit on the cia, it's been purposely under-reported. they hack the shit out of high profile systems and publicly post what they find - most recently:

We are releasing hundreds of private intelligence bulletins, training manuals,
personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords
belonging to Arizona law enforcement. We are targeting AZDPS specifically
because we are against SB1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police
state that is Arizona.

the state of arizona has confirmed the authenticity of these documents... "we are aware of some computer issues".

if you're interested, you can follow the lulz boat on twitter: @LulzSec
the actual releases can be viewed here.

living in america

not too far from where i'm holed up here in north cackalacky, an unemployed, debt-ridden 59 year old gentleman by the name of Richard James Verone held up a bank for $1.00... and prison healthcare. his only other option was to run for congress.

this orwellian nightmare is getting weirder.

appropriately, the wife-like-substance and i watched repo men last night. not the greatest movie ever made but it manages to make some pretty interesting observations about our healthcare system, debt-based economy, mortgage industry, and the general social-awareness of the people we call our fellow citizens.

originality: C+ (hints of 1984, minority report, blade runner, and muppets take manhattan)
acting: B+ (a full grade higher due to forest whitaker's performance)
directing: C (it's like blade runner if it were made in the 90s)
gore: B- (vampire porn... lot's of blood)
relevance: A (unfortunately)

mommas don't let your babies grow up to be products of the florida education system

you do have to wonder what he just sat on when he makes this face.

it's official... TWITTER > CONGRESS

our country's citizenry now cares more about how you tweet than how you legislate.

granted, anthony weiner is a schmuck. he happens to be a schmuck that i like, but he is a schmuck nonetheless. i imagine that, at this point in time, this is a point he would quickly concede.

but why are his tweets at all relevant? why was he confronted about this completely legal behavior? and why were we surprised when he had to lie about a personal issue that he never should have been questioned about? this country's protestant ethic is hypocritical and childish (duh).

well, he'll be resigning shortly and we wont have weiner to kick around anymore. we'll also have one less powerful liberal voice in an already conservative congress because liberals thought it was a better idea politically to hang 'em high than stand behind 'em. we deserve this congress. we deserve david vitter.

Book Review: Norman Mailer's "The Naked and The Dead"

To be honest, not a whole lot of naked.

Rated Arg for Pirates. Fuck you.

last night's sp episode... sofa king good. instant classic on a comedic-level. but shit, if a cartoon could depress ya.

i hope matt and trey reconcile their clear disgust with the show. but if they're truly unhappy producing one of the greatest shows of all time then they should just finish the season and walk away. nobody should be beholden to a job - even if it does cater to the entertainment and education of the masses.

but t&m, if you have decided to end the show this season... do it without kyle and cartman being new best friends. because, seriously, that would be shitty.

fucking christ that episode weighed a ton.

nauseated

i was bummed out about weiner and his weiner for about 47 seconds. then i realized that he's still one of the best congressmen we have. if fuckbags like david vitter can keep their jobs then weiner and his weiner need to hang in their and serve his/their constituency.

but i've been bummed out about a lot lately. the wife-like-substance and i just watched three movies in three nights: capitalism a love story, too big to fail, and maxed out. so bummed. do this only if you miss those hormonal days of youth when you still felt things. except instead of writing mean notes to some girl in your 3 period math class, you'll want to enroll in french lessons and buy a beret. (on a different topic - only prince could get away with writing raspberry beret. seriously. great song but wtf was that? i appreciate the fact that he can write a song about any old arbitrary subject but it leads me to wonder if he actually wrote the chili's baby back ribs theme song too.)

if you similarly find yourself in the pit of despair - watch the following to lift you from the doldrums of 21st century americ-aint:

continental breakfast...

what a shitty week to be a republican, eh? this has been one nasty downhill slalom for the gop ever since paul ryan was given the top crotch-sniffer's seat at obama's budget speech.

then trump and the birthers took a fat one in the keister. (we still don't believe!!!!) well that's okay. most of you believe there's a bearded jew in the sky watching everything you do. we don't care what you believe.

and now obama got osama. bam! the trifecta. (but... we still don't believe) we still don't care what you believe. if we did, then we'd have no choice but to round all you little birdies up into cyclone fenced pens and forget about you. you're lucky we don't care.

three weeks ago they thought they were at the Mandalay Bay buffet... now they realize it's just the continental breakfast at the La Quinta.

man, the La Quinta sucks.
