A
Compelling Harassment Epic
Source: AP
When
a Lee County (Florida) bureaucrat got
caught playing horizontal bingo with her
boss, Lee County Appraiser Ken Wilkenson
in Spring 2002, she quit her job then
sued, claiming he dumped her when the
News Nazis started reporting their trysts.
Pissed - and then some - she played sexual
harassment roulette, claiming that he
manipulated her into boinking him, then
forced her into resigning when the bovine
excrement hit the fan. Settling out of
court, the horndog shelled out $35,000
in 'go away' money...$10,000 for her,
the rest for her shyster. In addition,
he got her a new government job, under
a new boss.
Fast
forward to the present...The woman and
her boss are back in the fishwraps:
'...When a reporter told Wilkinson Tuesday
that he and [sexual harassment 'victim'
Julie] Dalton had been seen together on
Christmas Eve, Wilkinson said: "I've atoned
for my sins. It cost me a marriage."...'
(AP)
Tragically
- shoddy journalism rears its ugly head
- we're left with an inevitable question.
Is our heroine, Julie, horizontally gifted
in the extreme, or simply the only female
who ever found this loser - Wilkerson
- a suitable sexual playmate? Enquiring
minds want to know.
Afterthoughts
The shut up money payout distribution
tells you all you'll ever need to know
about our shyster-plagued country. The
so-called victim gets $10,000. Her shyster
gets the lion's share, $25,000. What's
wrong with this picture? Every-damn-thing.

It's
Never Too Late To Say 'I'm Sorry'?

A
Lone Star State cross cult cabal - The
Tarrant Baptist Association - voted, unanimously,
to apologize for slavery, a no shit 'better

prods Mexas (Texas) state Educrats to
impose a history of slavery requirement
on Mexas cess-school inmates. Big fun.
You can bet the proverbial farm that this

enslaving other Africans...right damn

Afterthought
The down and dirty here is reparations.
That's why this holy roller cabal wants
Mexas legicrats to 'officially' apologize
too, because a legicrat 'We're sorry,
too' brings the reparations bonkers ethnocrats
one step closer to a big payoff.

Me State Toll Booth Adventure

When
a Missouri cross cult cabal - The Life
Christian Center - got a personal appearance
from a dude claiming to be the cross dude
himself, the toll booth's padre told the
agitated 'savior' to hit the road because
he hadn't scheduled his Sunday morning
visit ahead of time. Unwilling - unable?
- to smite these unfriendly holy rollers
for this chilly reception, the visitor
got their undivided attention...big damn
time...when he drove his car through the
toll booth's front doors.
Local
authorities offered this persistent visitor
their special cross dude suite in the
gray bar hotel, so it's safe to assume
the toll booth isn't 'turning the other
cheek', this time. I'm guessing a heartfelt
'amen' from this Missouri congregation
is also out of the question. I can live
with that.

troopers, from sea-to-shining-sea, into
orbit, in the process.
'...[the high court] ruled Wednesday that
only full, equal marriage rights for gay
couples - rather than civil unions - would
be constitutional, erasing any doubts
that the nation's first same-sex marriages

Tax Revolt

Last August, faced with a whopping deficit
and incapable of making the necessary cuts,
Oregon legicrats nailed state taxpayers
with an eye-popping $800 million dollar
tax increase. It's safe to report that this
scheme didn't thrill Oregon citizens spitless.
Manning the tax revolt barricades, outraged
citizens put an tax repealing initiative
on the ballot so fast it made hack heads
spin.
The votes just got tabulated and the results
aren't going to make the legicrats' day:
'...With 95 percent of precincts reporting
early Wednesday, the measure was failing
59 percent to 41 percent. Rejection of
the tax package automatically triggers
$544 million in spending cuts on May 1...'
(CNN)
Kudos to Oregon citizens for slapping down

world, other taxed into poverty Amerikans
would emulate your sterling example. If
only...but I'm not convinced that the rest
of this nation has your gumption.
Super Bowl Victory Riots

Honoring a recent tradition, football crazed
Northeastern University punks staged a victory
riot last Sunday, an event that sent local
hacks on a frantic search for someone to
blame. Before the dust settled, Mayor Menino
decreed - in record time - that liquor stores
were the villains. Big fun, but two pesky
facts don't support this finger-pointing
hack's contention.
'...several of the stores nearest to Northeastern
University shut down within a half hour
of the game's kickoff Sunday night...'
(Globe)
In 2002 there was a similar, Super Bowl

open on Sunday.
Unwilling - unable - to track down the guilty
individuals, hacks beat up on business owners,

A Mexas Recall Fiasco

Saturday, Kingsville (Mexas) voters rushed
to the polls and recalled three city officials,
but a catch-22 might delay their 'good riddance'
celebration until May. The city's defrocked
mayor and his two city commission cohorts
admit that they've been 'untimely ripped'
from office, but aren't anywhere close to
emptying out their desks. For that thrilling
Paul Harvey Moment, we need to cite the
CBS boob tube affiliate in Corpus Christi:
'...[Defrocked Mayor] Castillo says the secretary
of state's office has advised him to stay
until he's replaced with an election.
Critics say an election can't be held
until May, and the officials should leave
office as soon as a canvass of votes is
finished in about a week...'
Although a shyster drama seems inevitable,
this pagan must remind his readers that
we're talking about Mexas, a state that

Zero Tolerance In Minneapolis

When Minneapolis Mayor R. T. Rybak left his
car running at the curb - unattended, the
local men in blue noted it, but decided
not to risk involuntary leisure status -
paganese for getting fired - by issuing
him a citation. No shit business as usual
in virtually every city, burg or wide spot
in the road, this badge packer response
is hardly breaking news. That all changed
when the new police chief, Bill McManus,
heard about the Mayors unticketed infraction.
Faster than a badge packer doughnut run,
the new Chief takes matters into his own
hands and issues his boss a citation. Bold
new concept.
According to this fishwrap, the Mayor and
Chief discussed it, agreed that the Chief
did the right thing and let the matter drop.
Yeah, right, but I'm betting the Mayor will
get his pound of flesh, down the road, when
the Chief comes hat in hand, needing some
Mayoral largesse. Payback is a bitch, Chief...Live

Corporate Welfare Fiasco

Meyer Packaging narrowly eluded capitalist
oblivion, last August, when the feds served
up $6 million in dead presidents worth of
loan guarantees to keep the firm operating.
The 70 Meyer employees applauded this taxpayer
funded fiscal lifeline, but they're probably
wondering what the hell happened, now that
the plant closed anyway. That's right, corporate
welfare fans, Meyer closed it's doors, leaving
the U.S. Department of Agriculture on the
hook for $4.5 million and the Small Business
Administration holding $1.5 million in defaulted
loans.
When the dust finally settled, and federal
officials finished cleaning loan default
egg from their faces, the firm's real problems
slither out into the open. Meyer Packaging
closed, 'because many of their corporate
customers moved jobs overseas and packaging
went with them'. That sounds right to this
pagan, but it's doubtful - in the extreme
- that company bean counters didn't know
this when they accepted the guaranteed loans.
It's always thrilling to watch the feds
squander 'our' money so eagerly, with such
mind-numbing stupidity. We are profoundly
unamused.

Navy Declares War On John Q. Public
Source: Boston
Globe [3/27]
From our no good deed goes unpunished desk,
we have this cautionary tale about a man,
a wrecked plane and heavy-handed federal
bureaucrats. Our saga begins in 1990,
when a citizen fished a WWII era Navy Corsair
from the North Carolina swamp where it languished,
unlamented, unwanted since 1944. Taking
the wreckage to his Minnesota domicile,
he registered it as a 'non airworthy' aircraft
with the FAA, then began the slow, painful
process of putting the venerable aircraft
back together. Ten plus years later,
he's still at it, but far from finished.
The way things now stand, he might never
get the chance to finish his labor of love.
You see, the Navy, belatedly, decided it
wants the damn thing back.
'...Last
week, the U.S. Justice Department, acting
as an agent for the Navy, filed a lawsuit
in Minneapolis seeking the plane, the
cost of returning it and compensation
for ''any damage to or alteration of''
the aircraft since Cralley dug it out
of the swamp...' (Boston Globe)
U.S. Attorney General, John Assclown and
his Justice Department goons want the plane
back and they want it right damn now, but
they're not willing to tell this citizen
why. Since John Q. Public has no chance
in hell of beating Assclown and his law
degree packing Gestapo, I strongly suggest
that the citizen put the plane on a truck,
drive back to the swamp where he found it
and dump it back into the muck were the
god damn feds can do their own dirty work.
Doesn't the Navy and the so-called Justice
Department have better things to do than
hammer a citizen?
If this plane is so damn important, why
did you ignore it for nearly four decades?
If this plane is so vital to national security,
why didn't you federal asshats pull the
damn thing from the swamp when the Navy
'stripped the downed aircraft of its weapons
and other equipment before leaving it' (Globe)
in 1944? You had your shot at this
thing and blew it so butt the hell out.
Don't make me come over there, John.
Devilish Details

Viacom (VIA) [CBS, Infinity, etc] executives

You don't need to be Einstein to smell the
rancid spin when this fishwrap's scribblers
present Viacom's data: "30% of their $545,600".
This spin doctored prose attempts to distract
the casual reader from the fun fact that
70% of Viacom's political contributions
went to the donkey clan. This fishwrap's
spin also glosses over the fact that Viacom's
contribution was larger - Viacom gave $545,650,
compared to Clear Channel's paltry $334,501.
Why didn't USA Today report that the donkey
clan raked in $381,955 [70% of $545,600]
from Viacom, while the elephant clan only
got $257,565 [77% of $334,501] from Clear
Channel? I'm sure it slipped their

Humor Challenged in West Virginia
Source: Daily Press (Hampton Roads,
Virginia) [3/22]
West Virginia Governor Bob Wise is as mad
as hell at Abercrombie & Fitch and he's
not going to tolerate their West Virginia
bashing antics a moment longer. His
political hack panties are in a bunch over
an A&F T-shirt that reads: "It's All
Relative In West Virginia".
Outraged, this hack shot off an letter,
demanding an apology:
"...I
write to you today to demand that you
immediately remove this item from your
stores and your print and online catalogues.
In addition, these shirts must be destroyed
at once to avoid any possibility of resale
and proof be given thereof."
'...Wise
called the T-shirt an "offensive item"
that "subjects our youth to unsubstantiated
and false impressions of West Virginia."
"Indeed, such a depiction of West Virginians
undermines our collective efforts to communicate
a positive representation of the spirit
and values of our citizens," the governor
wrote...' (Daily Press).
Although a shade less colorful than 'bite
me', Abercrombie and Fitch's response reveals
that A&F isn't ready to dump this popular
item. The firm's attitude is clear:
If a humor-challenged dolt like Bob Wise
doesn't like the T-shirt, he shouldn't buy
one. No doubt, A&F executives
must wonder how a dude with no sense of
humor got elected governor, a burning question
that occurred to this pagan, too.
Are West Virginians ignorant, inbred hillbillies?
Let's examine the relevant facts: They selected
blithering Bobby Byrd to be their Senator
and Bob 'far from' Wise as their governor,
so, the "ignorant, inbred hillbillies" notion
is still in play. I'll let somebody
else explain this to West Virginia's brain-dead

A Kentucky hack - Knott County Judge-Executive
Donnie Newsom - got nailed for buying votes
but his two year slammer sojourn won't stop
him from performing his county administrator
duties. A state law keeps this convicted
felon on the job - and on the county payroll
- during the appeals process. Since
his shyster antics will last much longer
than his jail term, his jailbird status
poses a minor inconvenience, at most.
This tempest in a hill-billy teapot ignores
the fun fact that buying votes is as old
as electoral politics. Being a rustic
hack, Donnie, apparently, didn't keep up
with cutting edge hack fun and games.
He might be shocked to learn that here in
Mexifornia, all hacks buy votes and they
never play graybar bingo. That's because
they never pay voters directly, like Donnie
did. Instead, they launder their donations
through a federal, state or local welfare
department. Hopefully, Donnie will
use his time in jail wisely, by reading
up on all these new hack schemes.
It's the least he can do for his bought

A New Big Apple Game

Certain pathetic, Big Apple asshats created
a sick - in the extreme - new game called
"Chink Bashing". It involves, among other
things, luring a lotus clan victim into
hostile territory then assaulting him or
her, a practice that cost an Chinese dude
named Huang Chen his life, last month. As
sick as this is, it gets worse, because,
the proper authorities aren’t running
a hate crime charge up the justice system
flagpole. Why? I’m guessing that this
alleged game is a melanin-enriched gig,
and that grants these asshats irrevokable
immunity when it comes to hate crimes. What
proof do I have for this melanin-enriched
perp theory? One of Mr. Chen’s murderers
is named "Naquan", and that’s a no

it when he ended his article with this pointed
prose:
'...It
is interesting to note that when a black
youth is killed in any racially tinged
incident, the regular media invariably
refer to the victim as a "boy," usually
accompanied by a sympathetic graduation
picture. In this case, however, where
the victim is an Asian boy killed in what
is undeniably a hate crime, the media
chose to call him a man; no pictures accompanied
any of the NY City newspaper articles.
Apparently some victims of racist murder
warrant more sympathy from the media than
others. It is time that all victims of
such vile hate crimes receive equal attention

When AT&T went diversity bonkers
in 2001 and required all its employees

a shyster assault can of worms.
The aforementioned policy requires each

to sign this company edict, whining
that AT&T’s diversity policy
gave him a boo-boo on his cherished
supernaturalism.

is a Christian and loves all people
regardless of their lifestyle.
"But I cannot value homosexuality and
any different religious beliefs.'..."

Albert's refusal to sign this diversity
bovine excrement got his supernaturalist
butt fired - a predictable result, under
the circumstances - sending his advenuture
careening into Shysterland. Outraged,
Albert went shyster bonkers, spewing civil
rights drivel about AT&T's blatant

there are still a few functional synapses
strewn across our judicial wasteland,
a federal judge gave this Holy Roller
whiner back wages and his 401K (his take

Diversity bonkers AT&T dodged a wallet

by this property rights-trampling decision.
It's not the government's task to set

salient facts, as set out by prior court
rulings:
'...federal courts have held

than "commercial."...' (Reuters)
Mike means well, but he's tilting the
wrong windmill. Mike, dude, the
best way to hammer OPEC involves developing
our own crude oil reserves. Granted,
this means taking on the powerful environmental
lobby, but given the wallet-busting gasoline
price increases, the timing might be right.
Everytime the John or Jane Q. Public fills

expanded domestic oil production. An Amerika willing to develop its own

Hell No She Won't Go

Determined to keep tabs on her city's men in blue, Darby (Pennsylvania) mayor, Paula Brown, set up her mayoral office in police headquarters. Believe it or not, this arrangement didn't thrill everyone concerned. In fact, the cops asked the mayor wench to leave, but she has other ideas about it.
'...A Pennsylvania mayor was holed up in her office at the police station and vowed to stay there until Tuesday to prevent a locksmith hired by the Borough Council from locking her out...' (Bee)
Mayor Brown claims that her actions are motivated by the 3 court orders that specify police oversight as her top priority. Her critics claim that her antics are publicity-grabbing grandstanding. The truth, probably, is somewhere in-between these polarized views, however, there's a faint stench here betraying an ambitious hackette who wants to move up the political food-chain at police expense.

Since his "diet" included a daily cheese festival, and cheesecake 3-times a week, this result isn't breaking news.
As expected, our hero decided to put the blame elsewhere, so he's suing Atkins' estate for leading him astray. You didn't expect him to take personal responsibility did you?

They cornered the pervert, but decided not to beat the snot out of him...this time. They let the cops take him away, but made it clear that the pervert wouldn't be treated so gently, if he visited them again. The only way some people 'get it' involves a long overdue ass-kicking. So be it.
Amerika's Newest Disability
Source: AP [5/19]
The Shyster Full Employment act - A.K.A. the American's With Disabilities Act - recently unleashed a new disability and this one is a veritable gem. Officially dubbed 'paruresis', this affliction is more commonly known as 'shy bladder syndrome'. Shy bladder is an alleged brain-fart that imposes bladder lock if you attempt to take a whiz away from your humble abode.
When Caterpillar, Inc asked Tom Smith for a whiz sample needed to run a drug test, Tom - allegedly - went into bladder lock, preventing him from serving up the required whiz sample in the allotted 3 hour time span. The company said - in essence - no whiz, no job, prompting Caterpillar to fire Tom soon after his adventure in whizius interruptus. Unwilling to accept his fate - before you can say "vapor lock" - Tom is playing ADA roulette.
'...[Our whiz locked hero] contends Caterpillar violated the Americans with Disabilities Act and that companies should offer alternate drug testing methods such as hair or blood tests. He wants his job back and unspecified monetary damages. Smith's lawsuit claims he ultimately was able to provide a urine sample during an exam by a doctor appointed by Caterpillar, but the company refused to test the sample because he failed to produce it within the allotted three-hour period...' (AP)
Smith also paid for a hair-based drug test, but the company still won't take him back. It's the way a company gets when you dump them into ADA hell. Tom, dude, wake up and smell the coffee. Their company...their rules...game over. Move on, dude...find a new job. I mean, really....shy bladder syndrome? I'm a dude, too, and I'm here to tell you that when nature calls, you gotta go, right damn now, no matter where you are.
Emerilizing Hack Antics In New Mexico
Source: Sante Fe New Mexican [5/13]
New Mexico's governor, Bill Richardson, has a nifty way to seize control over government functions that are no shit not his job. Bill's appointees to university boards of regents must sign and deliver - to Governor Bill - an undated letter of resignation, before he nominates them. Then, after they're anointed by the state's Legicrats, he can simply 'accept' their pre-delivered resignation, any time the regent fails to obey each and every Gubernatorial Educrap brain-fart.
It's a nifty - in the extreme - scheme that only has one pesky flaw: it violates the state's constitution.
'...The state Constitution says university regents may not be removed except for incompetence, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office -- and then only after they've had a chance to argue their case in the state Supreme Court. The provision "clearly is intended to maintain the independence of the boards of regents and insulate them from political interference," [New Mexico Attorney General Patricia] Madrid's opinion said...' (New Mexican)
Governor Bill is a Bubba pal - a political appointee, during Bubba's oval office tenure- so don't lose any sleep waiting for him to give a rip about legal restraints. New Mexico elected him and they're no shit stuck with him, unless they stage a Mexifornia-style Gubernatorial ousting. So be it.
Big Apple Bureaucratic Brain-Fart

A Big Apple bureaucratic bright bulb put a parking meter thisclose to a fire hydrant, making it impossible for anything larger than a skate board to park there without straying too close - within 15 feet - to a fire hydrant. This tempting 'gotcha' in parking-challenged Gotham pulls in a nifty $115 per victim, a thrilling fact that explains why the parking Nazis visit it so often.
Nobody in Big Apple city government gave a damn about this enriching parking meter scam, until, the Daily News ratted them out. In a heartbeat, the meter is gone and a 'No Standing' sign takes its place. Kudos to this Big Apple fishwrap are in order and eagerly conferred. You done damn good, dudes.
It Looked Good, On Paper
Source: Seattle Times [05/08]
In 2002 Seattle denizen Bobby Inshetski fulfilled a dream when he helped pass a city initiative to finance a 14-mile monorail system with taxpayer greenbacks. Bobby celebrated the city's intrusion into the mass transit marketplace by purchasing a condo along the monorail's proposed route. Two years later, 'celebrate' is the farthest thing from Bobby's mind, thanks to those devilish monorail details:
'...[Inshetski] didn't know was that the final plan would permit trains to pass as close as 6½ feet from the bay windows at his building. He said overhead tracks would block the only sunlight into the apartments of Inshetski and many of his neighbors in the Serrano, a 34-unit condominium. Now Inshetski is considering whether to join a campaign to repeal the monorail plan...' (Seattle Times)
File this under "be careful what you ask for" in your Golden D'oh archives. Bobby learned, the hard way, that reality can be a major bitch. I can live with that, and so can Bobby Inshetski.
A Gulag Big Brother Tizzy
Source: San Francisco Chronicle [05/07]
Gulag-based civil libertarians are in a tizzy because the Gulag's library commission is, tentatively, planning to embed tracking chips in the knowledge emporium's reads. ACLU worry warts fret that it gives Big Brother chapter and verse on the Gulag's literate denizens.
'...Critics of the proposal argue that the microchips, called radio-frequency identification devices, or RFID, could be used by the government to track San Francisco residents, their reading habits and their personal information..'. (Chronicle)
Commission President Charles Higueras smells a political firestorm, so he's spouting rhetoric that he'll "proceed cautiously". Furthermore, he's assuring his agitated critics that a yes vote "is not a headlong rush into a blind acceptance of this RFID technology". That's right, hack fans, this bureaucrat is testing the political waters with this RFID vote trial balloon. If you look up decisive leadership in your Webster's you won't find this clown's picture.
War Wounds

War 'hero' John Kerry continues to get hammered about his 4-month stint in Nam. This week, his war wound strayed into the political spotlight when the Navy Medic who treated Kerry related a much different story about the cause and nature of fearless warrior John's Purple Heart ouchie.
Kerry Says:
Fierce firefight
Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch
Mommy!
Where's my Purple Heart?
Doctor Louis Letson's version differs on several fronts:
'...Contacted by National Review Online, Dr. Louis Letson recalled that Kerry insisted during treatment that he was injured by enemy fire while his swift boat was patrolling the Mekong Delta on Dec. 2, 1968. However, "some of his crew confided that they did not receive any fire from shore," the Navy doc told NRO. Instead, his crewmen claimed that Kerry "had fired a mortar round at close range to some rocks on shore." One crewman told Letson that he thought Kerry's injury "was caused by a fragment ricocheting from that mortar round when it struck the rocks." Concluded Letson, "That seemed to fit the injury which I treated."...' (News Max)
'...[Letson] described the top Democrat's wound as "a small piece of metal sticking very superficially in the skin of Kerry's arm.
'..."It did not require probing to find it, did not require any anesthesia to remove it, and did not require any sutures to close the wound. The wound was covered with a band-aid," Dr. Letson said...' (News Max)
Bold new concept...Kerry is more than a lying, war protesting asshat. He's a lying, war protesting asshat wimp. He built his entire political career on this? His celebrated wound is a microscopic metal sliver that could be tweezered out and covered up by a band-aid? Stop whining and grow some nads, John.
Cutting Marital Ties

Twenty-two years ago, Paul Spina wooed, won then wed Sharon Hays, thus paving his way into a lucrative position in his father-in-law's thriving auto dealership empire. With millions in Hays Automotive stock in his pocket, Paul's life must be perfect...and it is - was - with one pesky exception. Paul wanted to become a girl, so, in 2003, he headed for Thailand where he shed the family jewels in a sex change operation. Goodbye Paul...Hello Paula.
How, you ask, did his lovely bride, Sharon, take the news? She got shystered up and took steps to shed Paul-Paula like a bad habit, but, not via a wealth- splitting divorce. Sharon had a plan that would leave Paul-Paula empty handed.
'...In court documents, Sharon contends that the marriage should be annulled because Paul represented himself as a man when psychologically he knew all along he was a woman - and that he wed her only to get his hands on her family's fortune. Sharon concedes Paul was anatomically a male until the surgery. But in what legal experts say is a novel startegy, she contends his failure to disclose his gender indentity before the wedding constitutes "a fraud involving the essentials of marriage."...(Courier-Journal)
Leaving nothing to chance, Sharon also cites Kentucky's 1998 same sex marriage ban, insisting that Paul hatched his 'I'm a chick saddled with male nads' notion at age 3. As thrilling as that all is, reality tells a different story. 'Always a chick' Paul managed to woody up for Sharon - at least twice - since they produced two daughters (ages 13 and15) together. Sad story, Sharon, fathering children qualifies as no shit male to this terminally amused pagan scribbler. What else have you got, babe?
Election Year Half-Truths
Source: Washington Times [06/26]
Donkey clan hacks are shocked and dismayed that W's official campaign Internet site dares to invoke Hitler imagery as part of its presidential campaign fare. What makes this "so's your old lady" crap worth mentioning is the fun fact that the Hitler images in question aren't elephant clan at all. The Hitler references - and images - are lifted from W-bashing ads presented by that donkey clan shock troop cabal - MoveOn.org. - on their web site. Kerry campaign officials managed to skip over that part, when they played outrage bingo for a highly receptive media.
'..."The Bush campaign should immediately remove these hateful images from its Web site and apologize for using them. The use of Adolf Hitler by any campaign, politician or party is simply wrong," said Kerry campaign spokesman Phil Singer...' (Washington Times)
Where was this alleged outrage when your MoveOn cohorts ran these Hitler ads up the flagpole in January? Your silence, at that point, was deafening. You created this MoveOn W is Hitler hell, so it's beyond fair that you burn in it.
The Potted Padre Caper

When it comes to excuses, cops have heard them all, but I'm willing to bet the proverbial farm that this one wasn't on their list. This time out, I'll let this Vegas fishwrap do the heavy lifting on the thrilling facts:
'...A drunken man being forced to the ground after crashing his car and punching a cop in the head Thursday pleaded for leniency by claiming to be a Catholic priest, authorities said. Skeptical police officers were shocked when they discovered during the 1 a.m. arrest that Paul Michael Andrade's Arizona driver's license photo shows him wearing a priest's collar...' (Review-Journal)
Arizona's two rosary true believer cabals - The Archdiocese of Tucson, the Archdiocese of Phoenix - never heard of this dude, but the men in blue did manage to track down photos of his ordination on the Internet. Given this clown's adult beverage-induced antics, I don't blame Rosary True Believer officials for disavowing our hero.
Punching a cop? Acting combative and spitting on cops and paramedics? What the hell happened to "turning the other cheek", padre dude?
Strange Bedfellows I
Source: NY Post [06/24]
Fueled by W-hating billionaire George Soros' greenbacks, a Donkey Clan group named America Coming Together - A.K.A. ACT- made some unlikely hiring decisions that should - but probably won't - make this election buying zealot take a timeout to rethink this ACT affiliation. Despite their colorful past, the new hires are tasked with going door to door, encouraging citizens to register...and vote Donkey Clan.
'...Dozens of names and addresses of ACT employees matched those of people convicted of burglary, forgery, drug dealing, assault and sex offenses. ACT hired some felons who were living in halfway houses, [an AP report revealed]...' (Post)
If you live in Missouri, Florida or Ohio and someone knocks on your door, think twice before answering that knock. It might be a pervert, mugger or burglar casing your joint on George Soros' dime. Proceed with caution; this is not a drill.
Strange Bedfellows II
Source: Cincinnati Enquirer [06/24]
Billionaire Soros isn't the only dude who is coddling ex-cons. During a visit to the battleground Buckeye State, W decided to promote his hotly-debated faith-based programs brain-fart by showcasing a halfway house success story named Tami Jordon. A convicted embezzler who 'paid her debt to society', Tami appears to deserve W's "good soul" and "inspirational person" prose. Appearances, in this case, are deceiving.
'...the victims of Jordan's crime - a small, family-owned business in Fairfield that lost $308,107 to Jordan's deception - say she isn't rehabilitated and hasn't paid the court-ordered restitution...'(Enquirer)
"Rehabilitated" Tami explains the 55 checks she wrote forging her boss's signature this way: "A few years ago, I made a poor decision. It pretty much turned my life upside down..."(Enquirer). Does that sound remorseful to you? I didn't but it either. She might be W's notion of rehabilitation, but she's damn sure not mine.
Korrecting History
Source: Tongue Tied [06/23]
Massachusetts Korrectniks decided to make certain historical makers safe for hypersensitive, chronically-offended tourists:
'...The markers in Deerfield, Mass. mark spots where, in 1704, French and Indian forces attacked settlers. Some contain references to ''savages" and ''Negro servants" that are now considered offensive. nWhere one marble tablet originally read, "Mary, adopted by an Indian, was named Walahowey. She married a savage, and became one,' it now reads, "She married a Kanien'kahake and adopted the culture, customs and language of her new community in Kahnawake."...' (Tongue Tied)
Rewriting history is old hat for Korrectnik assclowns. Normally, they do their dirty deeds on the sly, where John and Jane Q. Public can't see them. It's disturbing - in the extreme - that Korrectniks now feel confident enough to pull these stunts in broad daylight, while everyone is watching.
