Whining Womyn Daily Double
Source: PIG News Wire [09/05/08]

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
The capitalists running a Croatian shopping center did the math, then, quite reasonably, concluded that it made good business sense to make their mall as user friendly as possible, for female shoppers. Going all out, they decided to set aside special parking places for the exclusive use of the ladies.

In addition to picking parking spots in prime locations, the shopping center’s suits decorated the slots with pink flowers, made them wider than usual, spaced them farther apart, put in added lighting, and made sure they were easy to enter and exit. Were their efforts lauded? Not exactly.

You won’t be shocked to learn that men complained because women are getting special treatment. Believe it or not, females are outraged, too. Womyn have their knickers knotted over the unintended implications of the wider, widely spaced, slots. For them it’s the old ‘sexist’ canard about females being a menace behind the wheel whose parking skills reek.

Gobsmacked by these whining womyn, the parking center’s capitalists have - TA DA - apologized for their ‘offensive’ actions.

Poland’s Burning Issue
The first thing you need to know is that a wide spot on a Polish road, the village of Zielona Gora, has been open for business 900 years. Proud of their long history, the villagers throw a lavish birthday party for their town, every year. In addition to jousting knights and wandering minstrels, their annual medieval fair also includes a roasty toasty bon fire on which dummy witches are used for kindling. It’s that last tidbit that made the villagers do a header into Polish Korrectnik hell:

Polish women's rights groups and government ministers have banned the display after protests that the stake-burning drama was anti-feminist.

"Making peoples' tragic deaths into a tourist attraction is reprehensible and regrettable," said Monika Platek, head of Poland's Association for Legal Education. "The stakes where women were burned were the result of profound misogyny, discrimination against women and ignorance."

Poland's women's ministry boss Berenika Anders told the town council it had to scrap the witch sessions. (Ananova)

It sounds to us like the real broomstick jockeys are these humorless Harpies in positions of government authority. Maybe the villagers are burning the wrong Polish witches.

Siberian-American Sanity

Kitzen Branting is a member in good standing of the Coquille Indian Tribe, that lives on the southern coast of Oregon. Kitzen made a simple request, one that, in most of the Siberian-American tribes, would be flatly rejected. She asked to be allowed to marry her lesbian partner at the tribal plankhouse and they agreed. She’s not asking for state or federal recognition or approval, neither of which is forthcoming. She’s not looking for Nanny State benefits after she’s hitched. All she wants is the approval of her tribe and she got it.

"For me, the important thing wasn't about rights or the benefits," 25-year-old Kitzen Branting told the Eugene Register-Guard. "I just wanted the tribe to say 'Yes, we recognize that you are just as important as any other tribe member, and we will treat you and your spouse as we treat all tribal members.'" (SFC)

You may not approve, but this pagan scribbler calls this one ‘no harm, no foul’. Kitzen’s request is simple, and straightforward. She’s not demanding anything from the Nanny State. She’s not even demanding anything from her tribe. She simply asked them to ‘recognize’ her partnership with her lady love and they granted her request. That works just fine by me. It’s none of my business, or yours, traditional family values Sparky.

A New Group Welcomed To The Victimhood
Source: Golden Oinks 2008 [08/22/08]

There’s a new kid on the victimhood block, but we’re still not sure how it’s going to be hyphenated. This new group is, you’ll be thrilled to learn, properly diverse, and crosses all known, racial, political and gender lines. That’s right, PIGsters, the psychobabblers have ginned up a new malady.

By now, you’re up to speed on the antics of a Mexas huckster, who wants to ride the winds all the way to the U.S. Treasury. In recent days, you’ve heard about Big Apple Mayor, Michael Bloomberg’s scheme to stick a wind tubine atop every structure in his city. With all that attention on Wind Energy, it was just a matter of time before the psychobabblers joined the fun.

Despite T. Boonedoggle Pickens’ high priced sales pitch, wind energy continues to take its lumps. The tree huggers complain that the wind farms take an unacceptable toll on migratory birds who never knew what hit them. Greeniacs of the Teddy Kennedy stripe, are gung ho for wind farms in YOUR backyard, but won’t tolerate having one in theirs. Rational adults point out that, wind energy is not reliable enough to provide baseline power. Don’t even get me started on the fact that wind energy is a red ink nightmare, without those coffers filling government subsidies. As fun as all this sounds, it just got better.

Neal Boortz posted these juicy morsels on his blog:

Well it looks like Nancy Pelosi's small fortune in wind energy may be out the window. People are already complaining that wind farms are affecting their health. New research is showing that the low frequency noise and vibrations from wind turbines can have an effect on the inner ear, triggering headaches; difficulty sleeping; tinnitus, or ringing in the ears; learning and mood disorders; panic attacks; irritability; disruption of equilibrium, concentration and memory; and childhood behavior problems.

No ... not making this up.

If you’re not smelling a class action shyster assault on T. Boonedoggle and the other wind wranglers, wake the hell up. This might be one time when we’d be lured to the dark side and cheer on a shyster raid, if it’s aimed at T. Boonedoggle. Yes, we’d be whipped with guilt, eventually, but we’ll get over it.

AIDS Angst
Source: Reuters [08/06/08]

This three hanky whine from Reuters expects me to be shocked, dismayed and downright alarmed that Chico, Juan and Jose are in the overachiever column when it comes to getting AIDS. It’s nice to know that one of the jobs they’ll do that Americans won’t involves getting AIDS and taking it back home to ‘mama’ in their native lands.

For those of you who want to gloat over the details - you know who you are - here are the essentials:

The men in the study were three times more likely to have sex with a prostitute in California than they were before leaving Mexico, Lemp's research showed. They were five times more likely to have sex while using drugs or drinking and 13 times more likely to have sex with another man.

The men were more likely to use condoms in the United States, according to the study. But their risk-taking behavior nonetheless increases the possibility of infection, Lemp said.

In Mexico, 0.3 percent of the population is infected with HIV. In the United States, the infection rate is 0.6 percent.

Hispanics make up about 15 percent of the U.S. population. They account for 18 percent of new AIDS diagnoses, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but determining the infection rate among illegal Mexican immigrants is difficult, as many do not seek testing. (Reuters)

As thrilling as that might be for some of you, it gets better. How? You’ll never guess whose fault it is that these border jumpers toil as hookers, shoot drugs, and/or make a transaction with a hooker. Is the suspense killing you? Never fear, I’m going to let an Egghead, George Lemp of the California HIV/AIDS Research Program at the University of California, explain it to you:

"They are in a new environment, they are discriminated against, they are living in harsh conditions, sometimes just in boxes covered in plastic near the farms where they work." (Reuters)

That’s right, Sparky. You are the one who oppressed them into coming here and getting nailed by AIDs, jobs Americans won't do Sparky.

I'm Sorry...So Sorry
Source: Hambo’s Hammer [07/30/08]

On Tuesday, the United States House of Representatives, on a voice vote, apologized for slavery, and assorted other, closely related, infamies: the "fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality of slavery...". So be it. But wait, why don't we strike while the iron is hot and prod our Elected Tormentors into apologizing for things that actually happened in their lifetime, on their watch. On balance, apologizing for slavery is no harm, no foul. However, now that you tax squandering bastards are on bended knee pleading for forgiveness, why don’t you get ALL those SINS against our liberty off your chest, Elected Tormentor Sparky:

* Blatantly, willfully, exceeding their Constitutional authority.

* Sticking Uncle Sam’s nose where it doesn’t belong, by warping the Commerce Clause beyond recognition.

* An insane spending spree that racks up an ocean of red ink, while the pork barrel projects continue, unabated.

* Affirmative action in general and Title IX in particular.

* Comprehensive Immigration Reform, past, present and future.

* Death taxes, which make your life's work property of the state.

* Entering 'public service' poor and emerging several terms later a multi-millionaire.

* Feel good greeniac schemes that put energy prices into orbit - ethanol, wind farms, bans on oil drilling, bans on new refineries, bans on nuclear energy, plus bans on anything else that WORKS.

* Passing Draconian FCC fines to punish broadcasters for daring to put content aimed at ADULTS on the government airwaves.

* House Speaker San Fran Nan and Senate Majority Leader Dingy Harry Reid

Does this mean that Uncle Sam will follow that well traveled, apology tour path? Will he be forced to remove his top hat, when he crouches down to kiss Al Sharpton’s fat ass? Enquiring minds want to know.

Update: After some hemming and hawing, plus, some tap dancing around this topic, Messiah Barry the Blessed came out against reparations for the Melanin-Enriched and Siberian-Americans. If you need this translated, PIG has it covered. In essence, Messiah Barry is stating the obvious:

"I already OWN the black vote so I can risk pissing them off about reparations. Native Americans can’t swing the election for me, so screw them, too."

Bay State Fiddling
Source: PIG News Wire [07/25/08]

With nothing better to do, the Fiddling Fools in the Massachusetts legislature surrendered to a knee-jerk fit of Korrectness. Worried that the state's egregiously ‘sexist’ lingo might give its resident womyn a boo-boo, they passed a bill that mandates ‘gender neutral’ language in all future legislation. The all purpose ‘he’ will be jettisoned and replaced by the "he/she" or "his/her".

This Korrectnik musical interlude was spearheaded by a Demoncrat state rep, Cory Atkins, who as shocked and dismayed by all the exclusively masculine pronouns in a 2007 vintage bill on nursing issues.

"If you're a guy, you think this is no big deal. And if you're a woman, you're insulted, considering we're 52 percent of the population," said Atkins. "I thought I must have picked up the wrong legislation because it was all, `he' this, `he' that, when nursing is predominantly a female profession," she said. (Boston Globe)

As thrilling as "he/she" might be for these pinheads, it’s far from sufficient. We’re shocked that these Korrectniks treat the genderally confused, and the dubiously human, with such callous disregard. Don't the realize that some alleged humans don't fit neatly into the egregiously genderist 'he'', 'she' system? How can they call themselves LIBERALS when they trample on sensitivities so egregiously? It’s intolerable. It’s unthinkable. Worst of all, it’s unnecessary.

Why don’t they emulate the Free State of PIG and take ‘inclusion’ to the limit by adopting our legendary "he, she, heshe or it" journalistic standard. We are shocked, shocked, I tell you. Shame on you Cory. Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame.

GLAAD BAAG Sues Tome Wranglers
Source: Girlieman of the Week [07/11/08]

He’s alienated from, disowned by, his family, but it’s not his fault. He’s been in the slammer, but that’s probably not his fault, either. He has been subjected to verbal abuse, discrimination, episodes of hate and physical violence, but that’s not his fault, either. For years, decades, through no fault of his own, he has been besieged by physical discomfort, and "periods of demoralization, chaos and bewilderment". Bradley is a basket case, but it’s not his fault.

You’ll be thrilled to learn that Bradley has finally, after decades of ‘why are they picking on me’ misery, identified his tormentors. Admittedly, whining is Bradley’s best move, but he, temporarily, rented a testicle and, suitably infused with testosterone, has taken his tormentors to court. Who are his tormentors? Thomas Nelson Publishing and another publisher named Zondervan. Who are they? They are major Cross Cult publishers and their sin against Bradley is publishing Tome versions that refer to homosexuality as a sin. That’s right, PIGsters. Bradley is a GLAAD BAAG, who found Old Ka-Boom - it happened while Bradley was in the slammer - then got majorly bummed about what Old Ka-Boom has to say about bun rangers.

Unable to sue Old Ka-Boom, and painfully aware that the committees who translate Tome scripture don’t have a pot to piss in, Bradley went after the only set of deep pockets available, the firms that publish the Tome. It’s called killing the messenger. It’s also called blaming somebody else because you don’t have the stones to look in the mirror and accept full, and complete, responsibility for your own actions. It’s not the Tome, Bradley. It’s not Corinthians 6:9 (no matter how you translate it), Bradley. It’s not the publishers who served up the message. It’s you, and you alone, Bradley.

Bonus fact: Bradley is an Obamaton who publishes a blog - a steaming pile of self-pitying bull crap - on Messiah Barry’s campaign website.

Race Card Retard
Source: PIG News Wire [07/04/08]

His name is Michael Thomas and he was, in bygone days, a big noise in what the Brits call ‘football’ (civilized individuals call it soccer). Those glory days are behind this 40-year old dude, but he managed to recapture the spotlight this week, when he had a news-worthy synaptic shutdown.

It started with a routine traffic stop, during which the cops checked the status of the driver’s auto insurance. Since our hero wasn’t driving, he was free and clear, or was he? Channeling his inner ‘Je$$e’, he quickly computed the odds of a Melanin-Enriched dude like himself escaping unscathed when the cops found him with an impressive wad of cash in his pockets. It was at that critical juncture that Michael’s synapses misfired and made him do ‘it’:

When Thomas, who was carrying a large sum in cash, was asked who he was he bizarrely gave the name of a wanted man. He was arrested and taken to Chingford police station in East London where he was questioned for two hours before being released without charge. A police source said: "Thomas was in a car that was stopped as part of a routine check. When he said his name was that of a wanted burglar he was obviously arrested."

"Nobody could believe it when he suddenly said, 'Actually I'm Michael Thomas'. We hear things like that all of the time and thought he was having a laugh." (Sunday Mirror)

Still in full-fledged Je$$e mode, Michael is making ‘race card’ noises and threatening to lodge an official complaint. Michael, dude, they didn’t bust you because you’re a black dude with a wad of cash. They busted you for being a lying moron who stepped in it by giving the cops a false name.

Big Apple Coddles Genderally-Confused Teens
Source: PIG News Wire [06/27/08]

If you’re genderally confused - Korrectniks prefer the term ‘transgendered’ - and just won that ‘congratulations, you just earned a stint in juvenile hall’ sweepstakes, the Big Apple detention wranglers have thrilling news for you. Under some new rules of engagement, you get to call some of those essential gender-related shots.

The new policy prohibits staff from asking residents about their sexual orientation or gender identity and says any disclosure must be voluntary. It also directs staff to talk to youth who decide to reveal their gender identity. "Staff should never just move on; talk about what it means for this youth to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning," the 14-page policy states.

Under the policy, transgender youth may request placement based on gender identity. Those requests will be heard by a special committee composed of behavioral health and medical services experts as well as administrators. OCFS spokesman Ed Borges said the agency's center in Red Hook, in New York City, has housed a number of transgender youth in the past because its staff has earned a reputation for tolerance.

Transgender youth are provided private sleeping quarters and are allowed to shower privately. They are also allowed to shave body parts, use makeup or grow their hair long.

The policy directs staff to learn and use the words gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender in an appropriate context when talking with youth.

While all residents may ask to be called by a preferred first name rather than their legal one, the policy says males who believe they are female must be called "she" and females who believe they are male must be referred to as "he." Staff must use the preferred name and pronoun in any documents they file.

All residents must wear a uniform, but the policy allows transgender youth to wear a uniform of the opposite sex, including underwear of their choice. Each facility must have underwear for both sexes. (Fox News)

We know what you’re thinking and it probably won’t work. To avoid those ‘thrilling’ encounters with the nastier inmates of this teenage graybar hotel, you might be tempted to tell your jailers that, despite your dudely exterior, you’re really a chick on the inside. You might even be willing to play the part to score a private room and showers. There’s just one pesky detail you need to consider, juvenile offender, Sparky. Before you get all those genderally-confused perks, you need to convince a special committee that you’re the real, gender-bending deal. Life is just one damn thing after another. You should have considered that, before you did your header into the juvenile justice system.

GLAAD BAAG Whiz-A-Thon
Source: San Francisco Chronicle [06/25/08]

Normally, the Human Rights Campaign’s (America’s largest GLAAD BAAG rights organization) annual fund raising dinner is a high spot on the social calendar in GLAAD BAAG ground zero, San Francisco. This year, a who’s who of GLAAD BAAGs have their knickers knotted over it. Instead of preparing a festively-preposterous outfit, Blight on the Bay GLAAD BAAGs are organizing a boycott of the annual dinner.

The reason for the boycott isn’t what you think. The Human Rights Campaign is still dedicated to the cause. This panty-twister is a dispute over tactics. The bone of contention is a bill that got stuck in San Fran Nan’s outpost of insanity. If enacted, it would ban an employer from firing an employee due to ‘sexual orientation’. It didn’t get any traction, until the promoters of the bill - including the Human Rights Campaign - agreed to allow congress to jettison the ‘transgendered’ from the bill. That allowed it to pass the House, but it soon got stuck in the Senate.

The Human Rights Campaign’s cardinal sin is being pragmatic enough to ‘take what we can get’ then come back, another day, to ‘protect’ the genderally-confused. That’s perfectly rational, but utterly unthinkable to the all or nothing GLAAD BAAGs, whose self-destructive political instincts are breath-taking.

The HRC tried to reason with their critics, but their attempts fell on deaf ears:

The Human Rights Campaign issued a statement from its leaders defending the organization's actions and saying they want to "put to rest any remaining misconceptions about HRC's commitment to an all-inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act."

The letter says the organization "exhausted every resource" in supporting a bill that included protections for transgender people.

"HRC's position is that we could not oppose - and, in fact, should support - legislation to provide crucial civil rights protections that would be brought to the House floor for a vote, even though we did not and, certainly, would not have chosen that course," according to the statement signed by Joe Solmonese, the organization's president, and the co-chairs of the group's board of directors.

The statement also makes reference to the November election, when California voters will decide whether to ban same-sex marriage in the state's constitution.

"At a time when our community is threatened, once again, with a cynical election-year ploy that could hurt our families, we believe that it's time to set aside our differences and fight for what we all want," it reads. (SFC)

Since we don’t have a dog in this hunt, the Free State of PIG is content to sit back end enjoy this panty-wadding hissy fit.

Synaptic Scrubdown

Today’s exercise in Korrectness running amok comes to us from the Brit Korrectniks who infest the Tunbridge Wells Borough Council in Kent. You’ll be pleased to learn that these Elected Tormentors are boldly seeking out any word or phrase that might give some hypersensitive dolt a boo-boo and ruthlessly expunging it.

This week, these dauntless Korrectniks are feeling what they view as the ‘inevitable’ pain incurred by thin-skinned epileptics and the mentally ill. How? They just issued a decree and organized training course on the borough’s version of Newspeak. The primary rhetorical bone of contention is the term "brainstorming". To spare those tender feelings, this reviled term has been upgraded to "thought showers"...That’s right, "thought showers".

Are mental health and epileptic activists thrilled spitless? Not exactly:

Margaret Thomas, of the National Society for Epilepsy, said: "Brainstorming is a clear and descriptive phrase. Alternatives such as "thought shower" or "blue-sky thinking" are ambiguous to say the least. Any implication that the word "brainstorming" is offensive to epileptics takes political correctness too far."

Richard Colwill, of mental health charity SANE, agreed: "This ban goes too far. Few would be genuinely offended by the word "brainstorming" in the context of council meetings." (Ananova)

"Thought showers" is not exactly bulletproof. In fact, it could be construed as a veiled insult to putrid peace pukes and assorted other, differently-hygienic alleged humans.

Nature or Nurture Strikes Again

It’s probably not the proverbial smoking gun in the nature versus nurture debate over sexual orientation, but it should be enough to give the "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" crowd a low grade case of heartburn. This newest factoid comes from the Brit National Academy of Science, where some lab-coated hooligans have unearthed a tantalizing tidbit:

Gay men and straight women share some characteristics in the area of the brain responsible for emotion, mood and anxiety, researchers said on Monday in a study highlighting the potential biological underpinning of sexuality.

Brain scans also showed the same symmetry among lesbians and straight men, the researchers wrote in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. (Reuters)

Nobody involved in this research seems ready to shout ‘EUREKA’, but most of them are willing to venture forth a head-scratching ‘go figure’, in public. That’s why they plan to conduct further research to see what, if anything, this all means. I can live with that, can you, where did I put the Rolaids Sparky?

Incremental Sharia?

It took a couple years, but the caterwauling of a New Jersey Islamikaze, Bilal Shareef, finally paid off. The fun started in 2006, when poor little Bilal was compelled to skip the West Side High School (Trenton, New Jersey) graduation ceremony. Why? Because, the cess-school needed ample room for 250 graduates, and their families, so they held the ‘you’re outta here’ festivities at New Hope Baptist Church. That put Bilal between a rock and a hard place, because his supernaturalism bans entering a building containing icons of Old Ka-Boom.

Unwilling to suck it up, and unable to suffer in silence, Bilal blubbered incessantly, all the way to the ACLU. It took a couple years, but, this week, the Educrats at West Side High School caved in to this incremental Sharia assault and gave Bilal what he wanted. They apologized and gave him personal assurances that future ceremonies would NOT be held in a Toll Booth of any denomination. Did that satisfy Bilal? Hardly. This Islamikaze is still whining. It’s over and you won, Bilal. What’s it going to take to make you shut your pie hole and get on with your life?

Parting shot: We’re more than a little shocked that those CAIR punks didn’t try to horn in on Bilal’s pity party.

Seattle Spit-Swapper Panty-Twister
Source: Fox News [06/05/08]

With nothing better to do - quite frankly, I can imagine being THIS bored - Sibrina Guerrero took her main squeeze to the May 26th Seattle Mariners - Boston Red Sox game at Safeco Field. Given the way Seattle is playing these days, Sibrina and her squeeze needed to find something interesting to do while they waited for the Mariners show some signs of baseball life. What to do?

They started with a purchase of garlic fries, then kicked it up a notch or two with a rousing game of spit-swapping tongue hockey. Depending on who tells the tale, Sibrina and squeeze were ‘just trading innocent kisses’ or adding some grope and grab to their lip lock endeavor. Whatever the case, some scold got tired of watching the kiss-a-thon and whined about it to a Safeco minion. That’s when this adventure careened into the victimhood zone. Why? Because Sibrina is a GLAAD BAAG and her squeeze is another woman.

On Thursday, after an internal investigation, the Mariners said in a news release that their seating staff had acted appropriately, and the couple was approached because of their behavior — which included "making out" and "groping" in the stands — and not their sexual orientation.

"We have a strict nondiscrimination policy at the Seattle Mariners and at Safeco Field, and when we do enforce the code of conduct it is based on behavior, not on the identity of those involved," Mariners spokeswoman Rebecca Hale said earlier this week.

In the release, the Mariners said the women were told they could continue to kiss, but that they had to "tone it down." "The women refused to modify their behavior, began swearing at the seating hosts and complained that they were being singled out for their sexual orientation," the club said.

The code of conduct — announced before each game — specifically mentions public displays of affection that are "not appropriate in a public, family setting." Hale said those standards are based on what a "reasonable person" would find inappropriate. (Fox News)

Sibrina reports that the Mariners’ director of guest operations called her and apologized, a contention that was greeted by a terse, ‘no comment’ at Mariners headquarters. In a rational world, the whole thing would be dubbed ‘no harm, no foul’, ending the matter. In Great Northwest Nitwit infested Seattle, that’s only the beginning. A GLAAD BAAD gadfly named Dan Savage is still outraged. He wants to teach the Mariners a lesson by organizing a "kiss-in" at Safeco Field.

I am trying to feel Dan Savage’s pain, but it’s not easy. Have a heart Dan and cut the Mariners some slack. They’re 15 and a half games out of first place with a .361 winning percentage. What you’re doing, in this hour of Mariners misery, is called ‘piling on’.

"Nice Frock, Dude"
Source: World Net Daily [[05/29/08]

Colorado’s Demoncrat Governor, Bill Ritter, thrilled the state’s rational adults spitless, when he signed the state’s newest frontal assault on a business owner’s property rights. The name of this stinker is SB200, a so-called ‘transgender nondiscrimination’ bill that allows the genderally confused to use any bathroom or locker room that thrills them spitless.

The state's new "transgender nondiscrimination" bill makes it illegal to deny a person access to public accommodations including restrooms and locker rooms based on gender identity or the "perception" of gender identity.

Ritter signed the "Expanded Discrimination Prohibitions, approved by the legislature, with this definition: "'Sexual orientation' means a person's orientation toward heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, or transgender status or another person's perception thereof." (WND)

What does it mean, in real life? It’s unrelentingly thrilling. If some pervert tries to peek at some wenchlet’s panty-covered naughty bits, while dressed as a dude, he can be busted as a pedophile. But, if he puts on a dress and calls himself Lulu, he can follow the wenchlet right into any public bathroom or locker room and see it ALL, because he’s ‘confused’ about his gender identity. What a steaming pile of crap!

WND shares these fun facts about this stinker:

According to the bill, business owners and managers of restaurants, gyms, barber shops, massage parlors, etc., and managers of "public [facilities] of any kind whether indoor or outdoor" cannot deny a person employment or access to a facility based on gender identity or that "perception."

The bill also makes it illegal to discriminate based on "sexual orientation" when renting, selling or leasing housing or when selecting members for jury duty. Penalties for those who discriminate against others based on gender identity include fines and/or time in jail. (WND)

The Elected Tormentors have good news and bad news for the state’s rational adults. The good news is that places used primarily as places of worship - Toll Booths, synagogues and mosques - are not included under ‘place of public accommodation’. The bad news is that they tricked this turd up to make it immune to a public ballot initiative challenge.

Uncle Sam To Sharpton: Pay Up, Deadbeat
Source: MSNBC [05/10/08]

Uncle Sam calls it balancing his books. Reverend Al Sharpton calls his header into the IRS’s bull’s-eye something else:

"Whatever retaliation they do on me, we never stop," Sharpton said. "I think that that is why they try to intimidate us." (MSNBC)

If you have any residual doubts that race card waving is an enriching endeavor, get over it. Over a number of years, Rev. Al has racked up an impressive tally of unpaid taxes:

* He owes New York City $365,558 in back taxes.

* He owes Uncle Sam $931,397 in back taxes.

* His for profit company, Rev. Al Communications, owes the state of New York $175,962.

Rev. Al has been fending off these claims, for several years, by using his nonprofit cabal, the National Action Network as a smokescreen. Bad bookkeeping, misunderstandings, and the like, are at the top of the excuses list. So far, it seems to be working, but Uncle Sam won’t be patient forever. For example, the relevant bean counters are especially annoyed over the failure of Rev. Al’s do-gooder cabal to meet their workers compensation and unemployment insurance obligations.

This isn’t the first time that Rev. Al has run afoul of the authorities. As recently as 2004, the IRS and FBI tried to pin him to the mat over irregularities associated with his Oval Office candidacy. A decade early, Rev. Al was acquitted of tax fraud and charges that he stole from one of his charities. In other words, Rev. Al isn’t as dumb as he looks, and will, in all likelihood, elude the forces of ‘injustice’ this time, too.

Pious Prancing
Source: AFP [05/05/08]

Everyone loves a parade, especially in the Philippines where May is the month that local Rosary True Believers strut their praise the Lord stuff in a variety of religious festivals. Most of the time, the organizers of these quasi-religious festivities use local beauty queens to portray the relevant female roles. There are, however, some parade organizers who enlist the help of a different type of, uh, Queen...a DRAG Queen, to portray these noteworthy religious females.

You won’t need a quatrain from Nostradamus to predict that certain Rosary True believers aren’t thrilled spitless over this GLAAD BAAG casting call:

"We should keep sacred what is sacred," Manila Archbishop Gaudencio Rosales said as he attacked parishes for allowing male homosexuals to play Saint Helena and other female roles traditionally acted out by local beauty queens.

"The procession is religious. (But) what the (parishes) do is organise a parade," Rosales said on Manila's Catholic Radio Veritas station. "That's an insult to the Blessed Mother."

Rosales said he had taken the leaders of one parish to task for having gay cross-dressers participate in these "I told them that's not right because that's a procession. You are destroying the purity of the devotion." (AFP)

Any parish that rejects this guidance from Archbishop Rosales will be banned from holding masses. So there.

Parting shot: Given the GLAAD BAAGs’ fondness for spectacle, especially parades, this bit of unconventional casting seems like a match made in, uh, heaven. Alas, true genius is never appreciated by its contemporaries.

Silence In Seattle
Source: Seattle Times [04/26/08]

In theory, Mount Si High School’s commemoration of the nationwide ‘Day of Silence’ should have been a quiet affair, during which students refrained from talking. This silent treatment has nothing to do with romantic discord and everything to do with showing solidarity for differently-heterosexual students who are hounded into silence by the oppressive heterosexual culture in which they live.

In prior years, this Day of Silence elicited a storm of protest for a variety of reasons:

* Students who wanted to remain ‘neutral’ complained that other students and school administrators ‘coerced’ them into participating.

* Many students and parents also complained when some teacher participated, making a mockery of the Educrap process. It’s not easy to learn when the teacher chooses to clam up for an entire day.

This year, the Day of Silence at Mount Si was more memorable than usual:

* 495 out of 1,410 students didn’t show up for school on the Day of Silence.

* ‘About 100 people joined the Rev. Ken Hutcherson, a prominent anti-gay-rights activist, in prayer and song that questioned the dedication of a school day to what they said was a controversial political cause...’ (Times)

* At least 40 counter demonstrators showed up. They tried to drown out Reverend Ken by beating on drums and chanting "Go home".

* ‘...Earlier, about 80 parents and supporters of the event, sponsored by the school's Gay Straight Alliance (GSA), stood quietly outside the school as students arrived in the morning. Some wore tie-dye scarves, and a former student waved a rainbow flag. "We want to let students in the GSA know they have support in the community," said Lucinda Hauser, a Mount Si parent and member of the local Methodist church...’(Times). Having shown their solidarity for the GLAAD BAAGs, this group left before Reverend Ken and his merry band showed up to make things thrilling.

Is the Day of Silence a suitable activity at a government cess-school on the taxpayer’s dime? Not really. Suitable or not, does it do any good? Nope. The differently-heterosexual inmates of Mount Si tend to keep that information to themselves, because, on balance, it’s easier for them that way.

Parting shot: With all this fuss - a furor that is repeated in outposts of alleged education from sea to shining sea - I think the perpetrators of this Korrectnik observance need to come up with a new name for it. It might be a lot of things, but SILENT isn’t one of them.

Whining Great Northwest Nitwit Womyn

The capitalists who run the Espresso Gone Wild in Kitsap County (Washington), needed some way to differentiate their coffee wangling outpost from all the other java joints in the area. They decided to grab those thirsty male coffee drinkers by the nads with nubile barista wenches in ‘revealing outfits’ and it worked. According to this news item from the Kitsap Sun, some of the baristas aren’t exactly thrilled with the utterly predictable results.

The festivities got rolling when three dudes, all ‘regular customers’, drove up in a pickup truck:

‘...[A]The barista said that she saw a passenger in the front seat pull a digital camera out of the glove box while he waited for his order. She warned him that photos weren't allowed, and that if he took any she'd call 911 and report harassment. "I don't care," he said, and then took several pictures, according the a police report. The truck then drove off. The women took down the license plate number and gave it to deputies, who are investigating. (Kitsap Sun)

Harassment? Give me a break. If you’re in a public place - the drive-up window of a java joint passes "GO" on public - strutting your stuff in a ‘revealing outfit’, having some horndog snap your picture goes with the territory. If these baristas don’t like the attention their outfits elicit, they need to take their complaints to their boss, not some horny bastard who snapped their picture with his digital camera.

The Great Alaskan Panty Twister
Source: Seattle Post-Intelligencer [04/15/08]

If you’re from Alaska, you’ve probably heard the venerable dose of alleged wisdom that defines a "real Alaskan" as someone who has pissed in the Yukon River and gotten horizontal squishy with what the Korrectniks at the Seattle Post Intelligencer call "an Alaskan Native woman". When we run that through PIG’s vaunted Korrectnik Translator 3000, we get "You’re not a real Alaskan until you’ve pissed in the Yukon River and screwed an Eskimo".

A pair of morning drive shock jocks at Anchorage’s KBFX-FM, a hard rock station, thrilled the parkas off the usual Siberian-American suspects when they channeled their inner Don Imus and put their own twist on the venerable adage. The DJ’s, Woody and Wilcox (Greg Wood and Chris Wilcox), got carried away with their morning banter and opined: "You’re not a real Alaskan until you’ve screwed the Yukon River and pissed in an Eskimo".

The properly-hyphenated went ballistic:

State Rep. Mary Nelson, a Bethel Democrat who is part Yupik, voiced her disgust on the floor of the state House on Sunday, the last day of the legislative session. She labeled the Anchorage DJs's comments "abhorrent to the highest degree" and called for an apology, as well as punishment by the Federal Communications Commission.

Michelle Davis, who is part Tlingit, said she was listening to the show April 9 while stuck in traffic on her way to work when she heard the comment. "I was horrified," she said Tuesday. "It was a very ugly image."

Davis said she immediately filed a complaint with the FCC as an individual, under the category of obscene, profane and indecent speech. "What they said falls into the category of hate speech," she said. "The actual physical act they're proposing is degrading. People are pretty offended. There is too much violence against Native women and we shouldn't tolerate that type of disrespect."

Denise Morris, president of the Alaska Native Justice Center, an Anchorage-based social advocacy organization [is] planning to file a formal complaint with the FCC.

"These comments just cannot be taken lightly," Morris said. "Who is their listening audience? Young men. It just goes to show that these individuals are not conscientious of what their words mean and the impact their words have."

The station’s suits suspended Woody and Wilcox indefinitely, have exiled the pair to sensitivity training and are apologizing to anyone who will listen. It’s a nice try, but anything short of two shock jock heads on a platter probably won’t cut it.

The ultimate resolution to this panty-twister should be up to the management of the radio station, not the nimrods at the FCC. It’s the station’s call, and if they make the wrong one, the marketplace will teach them the errors of their ways.

Sinister Soundwaves Daily Double

Carpentersville (Illinois)
Linda Ramirez-Sliwinski, a Carpentersville (Illinois) village trustee, plunged into shark infested Korrectnik waters when she spotted a trio of neighborhood kids climbing around in a tree near her home. Annoyed by their antics, Linda ordered them out of the tree, calling the lads "monkeys". No harm, no foul? You know better. They won’t tolerate that kind of talk in Carpentersville.

Korrectnik panties are wadded because the three lads are Melanin-Enriched. That fun fact prompted the local authorities to nail Linda with a $75 disorderly conduct ticket for invoking something as dastardly as "monkeys" when addressing Melanin-Enriched lads. As asinine as this sounds, it gets better, because some of the usual suspects are after Linda’s head on a platter. Why? Linda is a designated delegate for the 2008 Demoncrat Convention. The usual suspects aren’t convinced that a dastardly "monkeys" spewing "racist" belongs at this illustrious gathering. Big fun, but there’s one more tidbit that puts this bull crap in its proper perspective: Linda is an Obama delegate. And now, you really do know the rest of the story.

Denver (Colorado)
Jack Burghardt, a minion in Denver’s Clerk and Recorder’s Office gave some Colonista co-workers - Tina Gallegos and Consuelo Dominuez - a bad case of hate speech heartburn with one, properly-PIGish question. His angst-inducing question was spurred on by some scenes from a movie called "Fast Food Nation":

The movie "centers around a meatpacking plant that employs undocumented workers from Mexico and produces tainted beef in unsafe and unsanitary working conditions," the documents say. "In one of the opening scenes, a group of Mexican people paid a trucker to take them across the border. They are later hired by the meatpacking plant, and their story forms one of the main plot lines in the movie. (Rocky Mountain News)

With those scenes fresh in his mind, Jack said "IT": "How much did it cost for your people to get across the border these days?" "Shocked", "extremely upset", and "humiliated", the Colonista wenches complained to the resident speech police. As a result, Jack was bagged, tagged, and shagged with a four-day suspension for spewing comments with "disturbing racial overtones". Deeming that intolerable, Jack appealed the suspension, and he won:

Burghardt, a Polish immigrant who has lived in the U.S. for the past 13 years, told a Career Service hearing officer that he meant no harm and that in Europe, people wouldn't be so easily offended. Burghardt "testified that he did not intend to be demeaning in asking the question, which came to his mind in thinking about the movie Fast Food Nation," according to city documents that were recently made public. "As a result of the discipline, (Burghardt) states he now understands that a question such as the one he asked can be offensive," documents state. (Rocky Mountain News)

Since our hero is a Polish prince, the relevant hearing officer decided that his origins negate his utterly PIGish prose: ‘...[The Clerk and Recorder’s office failed to prove that Jack] "intended his question to be derogatory on the basis of national origin"...’ That’s hardly a "get over it, Colonista whiners", but it’s damn close.

InKorrect Ivory Tower Games

North Dakota State University
Korrectniks, Ethnocrats and assorted other whiners have their knickers knotted over a skit perpetrated at a charity fundraiser staged in a theater on campus. The event itself seems harmless enough: the Mister NDSU pageant that is sponsored by the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority which donates all the proceeds to a diabetes research.

The villainous group responsible for the uproar, the NDSU Saddle and Sirloin Club, shamelessly perpetrated one memorable - you better exile the kiddies from the room - outrage during the pageant. It featured an oppressor (that’s a white male for you rookies) wearing blackface who portrayed Barack O’Dumbo getting a lapdance:

‘...People who attended it said a pageant contestant from Saddle and Sirloin dressed as a woman from the Internet video "I Got a Crush on Obama" and performed a strip tease for another student, who was wearing dark makeup and an afro wig. In the background, two male students dressed as cowboys simulated anal sex while holding an Obama sign that one student ripped at the conclusion of the 30-second performance...’ (My Way News)

It’s not exactly an inkorrectness classic, but it was sufficiently ‘fun’ to elicit some amazing, off the cliff, responses from the usual Korrectnik suspects:

"We're trying to find out the right approaches for accountability, but at the same time try to heal wounds that have occurred and allow the campus to move ahead...One of the issues here is how do we balance what our policies and expectations about behavior are with the issue of freedom of speech," Stoskopf said. "Where does all of that get us?" (Janna Stoskopf, NDSU's dean of students)

Josh Reimnitz, who is the NDSU student body president and saw the skit, called it "totally tasteless" and said he and other audience members were shocked. "Honestly, I still don't know what the intention of the skit was. It was very silent, and there were some boos. People were looking at each other, not knowing how to act. We're still going to be proactive in student government, as far as diversity education and training. If there are pockets out there that we don't know about, we want to make sure this doesn't happen again."

"It doesn't matter if you're rural. It doesn't matter if you're from Fargo or Beulah, N.D. You still need to respect people of color, in all aspects of life. This is a form of racism, and it's really taking a step back." (Joy Rice, a black Fargo resident and a member of the city's human relations commission).

Self-parody is alive and well among North Dakota’s Korrectniks.

University of North Dakota
The event which knotted those campus Korrectnik knickers happened last November, but it didn’t reach critical mass until images of this adventure in inkorrectness started getting circulated on the information superhighway. Sponsored by the Gamma Beta Phi sorority, the off-campus event sounds like properly PIGish fun.

It started off innocently enough, when the sorority booked a suitable facility at the Grand Forks Country Club. The fall dance - it was described as a "fun fall date party" - was given a stamp of campus approval by UND’s Greek life coordinator, Cassie Gerhart. After the bovine excrement hit the fan, country club officials and the Greek life coordinator issued a non-negotiable "never again", but I’m getting ahead of myself.

For the tastiest tidbits, we’ll let the Bismark Tribune do the heavy lifting:

The Gamma Phi Beta sorority was put on probation by both the sorority's central office in Centennial, Colo., and by the UND dean of students office. That office will investigate a discrimination complaint filed against the sorority by American Indian students.

Internet photos from the November party showed female students wearing Indian dresses and feather headdresses, and some male students wearing loincloths made from T-shirts. Some wore red makeup on their faces and bodies.

Students associated with UND's American Indian Student Services house say the party was offensive and racially insensitive.

The sorority president at the time of the party has said it was held off campus and billed as a cowboy-themed party, but that the sorority had no control over how people chose to dress. (Tribune)

Everyone here in the top secret PIG bunker is bummed beyond words that we missed out on these utterly inkorrect festivities. Life is so damn unfair that way.

Inexplicable GLAAD BAAG Whining
Source: Golden Oinks 2008 [03/28/08]

When it comes to success, or failure, in any area of capitalism, name recognition is at, or near, the top of the list. That’s especially true when you’re a newly opened eatery - Quickie Burger and Dogs - in a town that houses a major Ivory Tower like the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Eager to corner their share of the hungry student market, the owners decided to make their eatery memorable with the logo shown in the accompanying image. The thinking behind the logo is simplicity itself as noted in this excerpt from a plaintive whine in the U of M fishwrap, The Michigan Daily:

Maria Arman, whose family owns the restaurant, said the logo was meant to invoke a cowboy theme. "We were thinking beef, rodeo, so instead of putting a cowboy, we just picked a cowgirl," she said. "It's a rodeo-style cowgirl riding a bull, but instead, it's a burger. It was put together to be funny and different. No offense was meant to anyone."

Before selecting a logo for the restaurant, which features a maize and blue color scheme with televisions tuned to ESPN on the interior, the owners showed the logo to more than 100 people and none of them objected, Arman said. "The people who we talked to told us, 'It's a college town and the kids will think it's funny,'" she said.

Apparently, they confined that initial logo assessment to rational adults. That, as events showed, was a mistake, because the U of M’s Stonewall Demoncrats had a deafening, panty-wadding hissy fit over it:

"I have a problem that you take a women riding a hamburger and you put it next to the word 'quickie.' It just seems like it's not putting a good message out there for the objectification of women...Basically, what it has is a provocatively dressed woman straddling a hamburger, and she's very busty and its kind of really horrible."

"I don't think anyone has a problem with the name because it implies that I'm going to get a quick burger. Instead, we're just thinking about getting rid of the logo. Maybe trying to change it so it's less offensive." (Kolby Roberts, designated U of M Stonewall Demoncrats caterwauling clown)

This alleged ‘man’ is circulating a petition which will be affixed to a letter to the capitalists, vowing to keep whimpering and wailing piteously until the Quickie Burger and Dogs does the politically correct thing and changes their logo. This gutless crybaby wonder, Kolby, is magnanimously willing to let the eatery keep their name.

I have a better idea. Kolby should shut up, sit down, and PRAY for a miraculous return of his missing nads.

"Suicide Sauce" Heartburn
Source: PIG’s Golden Oinks 2008 [03/21/08]

PIGster King deserves kudos for sharing this story with us. The Cleveland Plain Dealer story he sent our way, tells the sad story of the capitalists running a chain of sports-themed eateries, Quaker Steak & Lube and their header into hypersensitive Korrectniks.

The boo-boo inducing trip wire on the Quaker Steak & Lube menu is a flame-throwing addition to their hot wings that is, due to its spiciness, called "Suicide" sauce. "Suicide Sauce"? That rocks our world, but it gave the usual suspects a boo-boo:

‘...Jerry Reed, executive director of Suicide Prevention Action Network USA in Washington, applauded Quaker Steak for renaming the sauce. "People are asking businesses and the entertainment industry, please don't trivialize such a serious public health problem as suicide. You don't see 'cancer' sauce. We have to take responsibility as a nation not to make health - health of the brain or health of another organ - something to make light of."...’ (Plain Dealer)

Jerry leads a very sheltered life, one that, obviously, doesn’t include PIG or King’s blog. If he visited either site, he would be up to speed on another thrillingly incorrect eatery, Dr. Jon’s Heart Attack Grill and its legendary nosh, the Quadruple Bypass Burger. [If one of you PIGsters runs into this Reed clown and give him a Heart Attack Grill reality check, please sent us a picture of his reaction.]

I’m sorry to report that, thanks to the relentless caterwauling aimed at Quaker Steak & Lube by clowns like Jerry Reed, "Suicide" sauce has been black flagged and is headed for the mountain of 'banned in Korrectnik infested America' scrap heap:

"The Support Center has received several requests from our guests through e-mail, letters and verbal comments regarding the name of our Suicide Sauce, and its possible direct effect on people who may have lost loved ones or have been in some way affected by suicide," said the letter from then-President and CEO George Warren III. (Plain Dealer)

Quaker Steak & Lube sounds like a cool place, but we’re sad to report that the suits who run it don’t hold a candle to Dr. Jon and they’re not even in the same league as the Heart Attack Grill.

The Wright Stuff?
Source: Hambo’s Hammer [03/15/08]

Everyone seems over the top about this Melanin-Enriched holy roller - O’Dumbo’s main god squad man, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr - who is not, apparently, thrilled spitless with this nation conceived in liberty. No matter how diligently I tried to elude the topic, it keep cropping up. The VRWC boom box biggies, Laura, Savage, Beck, Rush, Hannity and Medved where beating the dead horse to death. When I tried to avoid it by dialing up local boom box hosts, they were doing it, too. Hell, even that sports talk station I tune in from time to time was yammering about it. Enough already!

By now, you've heard Rev. Wright's America-bashing screed, so I won't bludgeon you with it. Suffice it to say that, in Rev. Wright's fevered brain, Uncle Sam - and his oppressor majority - is evil incarnate. From the Big Bang, to the extinction of the thunder lizards...From the first murder to the shocking lack of armless albino Albanians in the NBA, the evil force who perpetrated everything that's wrong on this world is America, whitey infested America. So sayeth Rev. Wright, who can pucker up and kiss my pagan scribbler ass.

Everyone seems shocked, shocked, I tell you, that an American, a man of the cloth, would say such things. I’m not the least bit shocked by Rev. Wright’s attitude. Why? I’ve heard all this crap from the Ethnocrats who call in and whine at Medved, Elder and all the rest. I’ve read this hate America, blame America, crap for decades, as it oozed out of the Korrectnik infested Ivory Towers. I’ve heard this hate America, blame America, crap from the chronically ‘oppressed’ horde that grows more strident with each passing day. Been there. Heard it. It stopped being ‘shocking’ a long time ago.

Cutting to the chase, Rev. Wright is proof that those clucking, multicultural, Korrectnik chickens have come home to roost. The only question that remains to be answered is this: do we want to have one of these America hating, America blaming, steeped in victimhood asshats taking up residence in the White House?

Parting shot: Barack O’Dumbo may, or may not, be as far gone into this America sucks crap as his pastor. I’m not sure that it matters because he’s a flaming Marxist whose political policies would destroy this nation in record time. I really don’t give a damn what O’Dumbo’s pastor believes. I know what O’Dumbo believes and it’s the express lane to national oblivion. Rev. Wright is, at most, a distraction.

Color-Coded Philanthropy
Source: Contra Costa Times [03/02/08]

One of the Marxist asshats who infest Mexifornia’s state legislature, Assemblyscumbag Joe Coto, is shocked, shocked, I tell you, that philanthropic organizations operating in Mexifornia aren’t properly diverse. What to do? Use the coercive power of the Nanny State to make things right, this Elected Tormentor turd concluded.

Aided and abetted by a Beserkeley-based cess pool named "the Greenlining Institute, Joey Jackass pooped out AB624. Given Joey’s limited mental capacity, he didn’t have the synaptic firepower to create a suitably Draconian dose of Legicrap, so he let the Beserkeley cess pool do the heavy lifting:

‘...the Berkeley-based Greenlining Institute, which wrote the first draft of Coto's legislation and conducted research...found that in 2006 only 3.6 percent of grant dollars from the nation's top 24 private foundations went to minority-led organizations. Minority-led organizations were defined as nonprofits where the total composition of staff and boards was at least 50 percent nonwhite.

The lack of funding, said Greenlining's executive director, John Gamboa, means minorities are being shut out of programs, services and critical public-policy discussions. "Foundations work in the dark. There's no oversight; there's no reporting regulations on them," he said, "and because nobody knows what they're doing -- I think unintentionally on their part -- they have excluded minority-led organizations."...’

Joey’s bill, which just passed the Mexifornia Assembly, is intended to impose racial bean counting on non-profit philanthropic foundations:

‘...Coto's measure would require every private, corporate and public foundation with assets of more than $250 million to post the composition of its staff and board on the organization's Web site.

The proposal also calls for foundations to specify the number of grants and the percentage of grant dollars awarded to organizations where the grantee's board or staff are members of minority groups...’ (CC Times)

Joey is in for a rude awakening. If his asinine scheme to impose racial bean counting regulations on philanthropic organizations succeeds, he’ll probably drive those organizations out of Mexifornia, denying Mexifornia citizens the largesse of these nonprofit organizations. Nice move, genius.

South Carolina Coddles Ethnocrats
Source: WSOC, Charlotte Boob Tube [02/27/08]

With all the really important issues resolved, the South Carolina legislature has finally gotten around to dealing with that pesky ‘slavery’ issue. They know it’s illegal and have signed on with the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. For most rational adults, that should settle the matter. The fun fact here is that nobody ever called an Ethnocrat a rational adult.

This week, South Carolina’s house broke out those damn fiddles and started cranking out this lively tune:

The House has approved a bill to officially recognize the freeing of slaves.

The bill would "Juneteenth" to commemorate the June 19th, 1865, announcement by Union soldiers arriving in Texas that the war was over and all slaves were free.

Ronald Myers with the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation says South Carolina would be the 28th state to permanently recognize the day. The state has used temporary resolutions in the past. (WSOC Charlotte)

Believe it or not, this particular bout of fiddling has been on the ‘play’ list for at least 10 years. The good news is that if it passes, the Ethnocrats might finally shut up about it. The bad news is that they’ll find something else to whine about. Life is so damn sucky that way.

Getting Too Close To His Work?
Source: PIG News Wire [02/15/08]

As stories go, this epic about sexual harassment in the workplace appears to fall into the ‘nothing to see here, move along’ category. On one level, that’s true.

It began when a Utah minion accused certain men in her workplace of sexual harassment:

Between 1999 and 2003, Carol Kline, along with several other women in her office, filed sexual harassment complaints against the top dog at her workplace, Joe Gallegos. All the complaints were upheld by EEOC, a finding that led to Joe Gallegos’ resignation.

‘...However, even after Gallegos left, Kline says the discrimination continued and she was fired in 2005 for filing her original complaints. The EEOC sided with her, granting her the right to sue the agency.

Kline said her former supervisor, Harold Stephens, sexually harassed her. She said he directly made comments to her such as "Come sit on my lap and see what comes up," and, "You can fondle my files anytime."

In an earlier interview, Stephens did not specifically acknowledge or deny making the alleged comments. "I have my own sense of humor," he told The Tribune in an interview last month. "Not everyone knows what harassment is, and you don't know until someone raises the issue."...’ (Salt Lake Tribune)

So far, this is, as I stated earlier, hardly breaking news. It continues to be ‘been there, done that’, when you find out that Carol was, eventually, fired and is now suing because she views her firing as ‘discriminatory and retaliatory’. Even the response of her former employer sounds annoyingly familiar, when the new bosses insist that Carol’s work wasn’t up to their standards, so they were forced to let her go:

"We needed her to write well-reasoned, judicially sound write-ups, and that was impossible at the time for her," said Stephens, who has been reassigned from his previous role supervising investigators to working on housing complaints. "Termination was the only way to go."

This epic zooms into a very sharp focus when you learn that Carol’s former employer is the Utah Antidiscrimination and Labor Division (UALD). That’s right, Carol worked for the Nanny State cabal that investigates worker complaints, including - TA DA - sexual harassment. Apparently, former UALD director, Joe Gallegos, got entirely too damn close to his work.

Now, you really do know, the rest of the story.

Word Games

A Brit Elected Tormentor, Alan Jones, who is the chief executive of the Somerset County Council, did a header into Korrectness this week. I’m guessing that Alan is tired of the ‘slings and arrows of outrageous fortune’ that Brit rational adults throw at this Nanny State enclave.

Alan uncorked his politically incorrect gem in an online message about the Audit Commission, which rated the performance of his Nanny State outpost as "excellent". Unwilling to leave well enough alone, Alan took a swipe at any naysayers:

"In the light of this assessment, they now join the ranks of those who believe the earth is flat, that the Holocaust never happened, and those who dress as pirates to worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster and his noodly appendages." (BBC)

Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with Alan’s prose. It’s an utterly PIG-worthy line. The Board of Deputies of British Jews, found Alan’s comments offensive, in the extreme:

"He needs to retract the statement. The murder of six million innocent people, including women, children and babies - you cannot equate that to the workings of a county council." (Bernard Bennett, board member of Board of Deputies of British Jews)

Apparently, Bernard wasn’t paying attention. Alan’s point - right or wrong - is that his Nanny State cabal’s excellent performance is an established fact. He then goes on to say that anyone who disputes this established fact joins the tinfoil hat brigade that denies such historical facts as the holocaust. If that’s an insult to anyone, it’s the holocaust deniers.

File this one in your Jupiter-size ‘right not to be offended’ archives.

Korrectnik Caterwauling at SJSU
Source: Daily News Group [02/02/08]

Korrectness reared its ugly head at a Mexifornia Ivory Tower, when it came time for this year’s blood drive. The Eggheads running this outpost of Cultural Marxism - twerps like SJSU President Don Kassing - are outraged by a Federal Food and Drug Administration edict that bans blood donations from GLAAD BAAG men, so they are banning blood drives on campus.

The folks at the Stanford Blood Center are sympathetic, but worry about the impact this ban might have on ‘public health’:

‘...in a statement Friday, the center called his decision to suspend campus blood drives for that reason "a terribly misguided tactic that could have a devastating impact on the blood supply, and therefore, patients in our community."

Kassing's stand — based on the university's non-discrimination policy — has focused attention on a longstanding FDA rule that many say is overly restrictive. Critics, however, worry it sets a bad example that could exacerbate blood shortages if others follow his lead.

By law, people who want to give blood must be screened for a variety of potential risk factors. For instance, people aren't allowed to donate within a year of getting a tattoo.

The rise of AIDS in the 1980s prompted the FDA to prohibit donations from men who had sex with men any time after 1977. These days, groups such as the American Red Cross say that lifetime prohibition is excessive, since modern blood testing will catch any diseases contracted more than three weeks before the donation...’ (Daily News Group)

I wonder how thrilled these eager Mexifornia Korrectniks will be when they need a blood transfusion and the local blood bank tells them to pound sand because the supply of the type needed is depleted?

Gainsville Girliemen
Source: PIG News Wire [02/01/08]

In Flori-DUH, Gainsville’s commissioners stirred up a PIG-worthy hornet nest when they voted to add ‘gender identity’ to its anti-discrimination laws. Gender identity is the newest kid on the GLAAD BAAG block and it seems to be cropping up from sea to shining sea, wherever someone was dumb enough to put a Korrectnik into a position of power.

For those who wonder, ‘gender identity’ is that "I’m feeling my inner wench today" crap that I’ve discussed in prior PIGish rants. In practice, that means if Bubba the teamster is feeling his inner Bertha today, he’s gotta be treated like a woman, for as long as that sensation makes him act like an utter and complete asshat. That can mean, in many instances, that Bubba gets to use the women’s restroom or locker room.

"Gender identity, as defined in the proposed ordinance, means 'an inner sense of being a specific gender, or the expression of a gender identity by verbal statement, appearance, or mannerisms, or other gender-related characteristics of an individual with or without regard to the individual's designated sex at birth,'" the city said.

"The general procedures and prohibitions … would apply to discrimination on the basis of gender identity as it would to discrimination on the basis of other protected classes," the city continued.

The exceptions would be allowed for "certain shared facilities" such as "a shared shower or dressing facility."

"Denial of access to such facilities would be permitted if the covered entity provided reasonable access to adequate facilities that are not inconsistent with the person's gender identity, as established with the entity at the time of initial access, or upon notification to the entity that the individual has undergone or is undergoing gender transition…" (WND)

The voice of reason comes from Commissioner Ed Braddy who voted against this lunacy. He said it all in this quote:

"When you boil it down the issue is that because of some people who have some sort of emotional or psychological issue, others have to change."

Panty-Twister at Yale
Source: PIG News Whining Womyn Wire [02/01/08]

It was, we’re told, a joke, the kind of joke that college fraternities play on their pledges. This one takes place at Yale University where a group of Zeta Psi pledges were deployed outside Yale’s women’s center holding up a sign guaranteed to command the womyn’s attention. Before we get to the sign, let’s enjoy the caterwauling it generated from the usual suspects:

"They're celebrating their masculinity in a way that's extremely offensive, not only to me approaching them but to other women on campus. It's derogatory." (Jessica Svendsen, Yale Junior)

"Good training in issues like diversity and sexual harassment can sensitize people to the effect their actions have on others, and help to prevent this sort of offensive behavior before it becomes a habit." (Anna Prochaska, university librarian)

"It deeply corrodes the learning and teaching atmosphere of any educational institution. It does not belong in a university. It does not belong at Yale." (Yale provost, Andrew Hamilton)

"This kind of action may be in the history of the school. But the time for change has long arrived on issues of gender, and the time for silent complacency for the sake of ritual is gone." (Catherine Kastleman, a sophomore from Chapel Hill, N.C., in an e-mail to the women's center)

And what, you ask was this dastardly sign that generated calls for an investigation, sensitivity training and much more? The sign the pledge held up read, "We Love Yale Sluts". And now, you really do know the rest of the story.

It Seemed Like A Spiffy Idea
Source: Daily Mail [01/14/08]

It’s called ‘Secret Santa’, a familiar Christmas ritual that has coworkers draw names then, anonymously, buy an inexpensive gift for a colleague. Given the nature of the event, joke gifts are commonplace, and generally, well received. That, at least, is the way it’s supposed to work, but this holiday fun careened off the rails at the Bedforeshire police station.

A PC named Rob Murrie did a header into entrenched Brit Korrectness when he drew the name of PC Arshad Mahmood in the Secret Santa drawing. Determined to have some fun with his amiable Mecca Maniac coworker, PC Murrie gave Mahmood a bottle of wine and a packet of bacon, both of which are black flagged items for Mecca Manaics.

Was the joke well received? Yes and no. PC Mahmood took the matter in stride, but his superiors had a hissy fit and charged PC Murrie with - TA DA - racism.

"I was called into a meeting with my sergeant, who said she was disgusted by what happened. I told her I knew it was meant as a joke and did not want to make a formal complaint. I just took it on the chin. But someone else in the room must have thought it was a racist incident, and reported it." (PC Mahmood as quoted by the Daily Mail)

In record time, PC Murrie was dumped like a bad habit and exiled to the unemployment roles, bearing a ‘racist’ tag that will make getting a new job especially challenging:

"The police force has been my home for six years and now I pay the ultimate price. I had no choice but to resign because of the political implications and negative impact on the force if it ever became public. I would never have given him the present if I had known the consequences. I suppose it's like giving condoms to a Catholic. I think society has gone far too politically correct, but the force has to make decisions acting within that climate. I'm going abroad for a while to think about what I am going to do with the rest of my life." (Rob Murrie as quote by the Daily Mail)

Is firing him for this dumbass gift overkill? You better believe it, Sparky. That opinion seems to be shared by the general secretary of the Bedford Jame Mosque, Shishu Miah: "I do not condone what he did but the officer clearly made an error of judgment and should be forgiven." You know it’s time for the Twilight Zone theme when the Mecca Maniacs are more rational about this ‘racist’ incident than the Brit Korrectniks.

Gender Bending Games

The last thing most grade school wenchlets want - or need - is to have a dastardly boy using the girl’s restroom, but that’s exactly what is happening at Asa C. Adams Elementary School (Orono, Maine). Thanks to the state’s Human Rights Law, the relevant Educrats are obligated to provide "special accommodations" to a certain 10-year-old lad who has unresolved issues concerning "sexual orientation or gender identification". In other words, somebody’s little Rocket Boy thinks he, she, heshe or it is really a little Rocket Girl who was erroneously assigned the wrong plumbing.

Everything was spiffy, for Educrats at Asa C. Adams Elementary School, until a man named Paul Melanson found out about this gender bending drama from his grandson. He told his grandson that, whenever he saw the gender bender go into the girl’s restroom, he should follow him. The grandson followed Grandpa Paul’s advice and landed in some predictable hot water.

"You can’t go in there."

"He went in there, so I’m going too."

"That’s different. It’s okay for him, but not okay for you."

"I’m going to tell my grandpa."

Grandpa is getting some good advice because he’s using the same human rights edict against the Educrats. They are denying his grandson access to the girl’s restroom based on his - TA DA - sexual orientation: heterosexual. That, grandpa insists, violates the state’s 2005 vintage GLAAD BAAG rights law. Is he right? Some people think so and that has the usual suspects in a lather.

Paul has given this gender bending hornets’ nest a swift kick. Only time will tell what comes of it.

Garden State Games

New Jersey Assemblyman, William Payne, has sponsored a measure in the New Jersey state legislature that would have the state formally, issue an apology for slavery. Is Jersey egregiously guilty where slavery is concerned? I’ll let you decide:

* It had one of the largest slave populations in the Northern colonies.

* It was the last state in the Northeast to formally abolish slavery (1846).

* It rejected the amendment prohibiting slavery in 1865, they ratified it in 1866.

Assemblyman Payne thinks it's time for Jersey to atone for its slavery sins with an apology:

"This is not too much to ask of the state of New Jersey. All that is being requested of New Jersey is to say three simple words: 'We are sorry. If former Confederate states [Alabama, North Carolina, Virginia] can take action like this, why can't a Northeast state like New Jersey?"

There are, as expected, some rational adults in the legislature who dare to ask the salient question:

"Who living today is guilty of slave holding and thus capable of apologizing for the offense? And who living today is a former slave and thus capable of accepting the apology? So how is a real apology even remotely possible, much less meaningful, given the long absence of both oppressor and victim?" (Assemblyman Richard Merkt, as quoted by the Contra Costa Times)

It’s nice to know that New Jersey has resolved all it’s other issues if this has reached to top of the legislature’s ‘to do’ list.

Big Medicine In Lakota Country

A noted Siberian-American ‘activist’, Russell Means, and assorted Lakota leaders, have a spiffy message for Uncle Sam. It’s going to come as a real thrill for those PIGsters who live in the Lakota lands that include parts of Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Montana, plus Wyoming when they find out that they are no longer part of, or affiliated with, the United States of America:

"We are no longer citizens of the United States of America and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us,'' long-time Indian rights activist Russell Means said.

A delegation of Lakota leaders has delivered a message to the State Department, and said they were unilaterally withdrawing from treaties they signed with the federal government of the US, some of them more than 150 years old.

The group also visited the Bolivian, Chilean, South African and Venezuelan embassies, and would continue on their diplomatic mission and take it overseas in the coming weeks and months.

According to some of these ‘we’re so out of here’ Lak
