Remember when...

Remember when Amy Winehouse looked kinda hot?

Before she adopted the crack/coke/heroin/meth-addled, way-too-many shitty tattoos look?

"It's those damn dalmations."

"I'm outta crack!"

Before ... and yuk.

No harm here, move along.

[McEnroe screams] "You cannot be serious!"

http://www.startribune.com/local/north/125958688.html


C'mon, you aren't serious, are you?

The link above is to an article in the Minneapolis StarTribune, detailing a lawsuit brought against the Anoka-Hennepin school district for failing to prevent "bullying."

First off, I think kids today are pretty much all pussies to begin with.  Really, bullying is a big issue?  I don't think so.

Bullying has been around as long as people have been around, so I don't subscribe to the theory that kids of recent vintage are subject to anything worse than what I or my father or his father were subjected to.  Toughen up little guys, just because you live in a "no-contact-timeout" punishment age, doesn't mean some other kid doesn't want to smack the shit out of you.  Kids these days are so over-protected and coddled.

I absolutely cannot believe how many kids are forced to wear helmets for bicycling.  Bicycling!  Unless you're drunk and driving into traffic, a helmet just makes you look like you ought to be getting ready for the short bus.  Not only did my friends and I bike thousands of miles as kids, but none of us wore a helmet.  In fact, nobody crashed or even needed a helmet.  Kids, you're coddled and over-protected.

It's called reality, buy into it.

Too much digression here though, the real irritant of the above mentioned article is that 14 year old Kyle Rooker [(gasp) is he goin' after a kid? yep] can't understand why some kids pick on him and call him "fag" for wanting to wear "red, sparkly, high-heeled shoes" to school.

Come on Kyle, you're not really that dense are you?  Come on Kyle's parents, are you friggin' stupid?  You ought to be booked for parental negligence for allowing your kid to attend school in an outfit guaranteed to get him called "fag" in the least, or suffer an asskicking at the most.

I'm all in favor of personal rights and liberties, but those rights aren't absolute.  I would absolutely think the kid was a little swishy for wearing those shoes. And if I were 14, I'd call him a fag [note: that's if I was 14, so relax].

Somebody please set some limits.  Go to school, get your education on, and if you wanna play Mary Poppins, Lady Gaga, or the sparkly red-shoed fairy after school, have at it.

I think the parents just sent the kid in to knowingly get an ass-whipping figuring on a near guarantee payout via lawsuit.

That might make me pessimistic, but I'm not sure it makes me wrong.

Liar, liar, pants on fire [but sadly, not you]

Jesus, do you really look this old up close?

The news item:

WASHINGTON - Taking the vanguard of a Republican revolt against President Obama and their own GOP leaders, Rep. Michele Bachmann and two other Tea Party members said Wednesday there is no need to raise the federal debt limit in order to continue paying Social Security benefits.


"This is a misnomer that the president and the Treasury secretary have been trying to pass off on the American people," said Bachmann, R- Minn., a presidential candidate who is leading the polls in her native Iowa.




The reaction:

Don't forget, this bitch makes it up as she goes along without getting bogged down in the facts.  Here's a link to an earlier RFC post, where some political fact-checkers said, and I'm paraphrasing: "Jesus Christ, she just makes it up as she goes along!"

Also, as long as we're being petty, even if your quote above were correct, that's not a misnomer in the truest sense.  Look it up then shut it up.

A horrible evil, lying bitch of a human.

Also don't forget: she has the same spirit as John Wayne Gacy.  Too much is at stake to listen to the lies of someone like this without fact-checking.

Don't be suckered by bluster.

The old bag Palin still doesn't get it...

Hey dumbass, how much common sense do you have?

The morning Strib ran an article, an AP feed I'm sure, about dumbass Sarah Palin, mom of the drunken slut, still deciding if she might run for the big job.

The story:



WASHINGTON - Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she'll announce her intentions for the White House in late August or early September.

Palin told Fox News' Sean Hannity Wednesday night that she thinks she could win a campaign against President Barack Obama, a sentiment first reported in a Newsweek cover story.

Palin says she would campaign for a candidate with "good executive experience" and a "servant's heart" who wasn't so "obsessively partisan that they can't just do what's right." At the moment, though, she says she doesn't see that candidate in the Republican field.

Palin says she's thinking about offering herself up "in the name of service," confident that she has "common sense, fiscally conservative, pro-private sector policy experience and ideas that can be put to good work for this country."




The reaction:

Are you a freakin' mental retard?  Well, I guess that affliction does run in the Palin DNA.

Laughably, Palin says she would "campaign for a candidate with good executive experience."  Well, that leaves you out.  That's a four-year position you lameass quitter.  Besides, you're way too busy enjoying the fawning idolatry of the slow-witted, ill-informed cult you've developed.  You could never hack a substantive position.

She wants to offer herself up "in the name of service."  How about offering yourself up "in the name of human sacrifice."

Sean Hannity, conservative jerkoff/joke, likely agrees she "could win a campaign against President Barack Obama." Of course he would think that.  He's conservative way beyond the point of objectivity.  Hannity thinks Hitler would beat Obama.

Bottom line, Sarah: nobody cares.

This is great!

The Minneapolis StarTribune has posted a list of Minnesota elected officials assholes who ARE receiving a paycheck during the government shutdown.

This is a handy list because NONE OF THESE PEOPLE SHOULD EVER BE ELECTED AGAIN.  They are fully worthy of any scorn or derision you should see fit to cast in their direction.

The story:




After Gov. Mark Dayton announced that he would not accept pay during the state government shutdown, 15 senators and 47 representatives followed suit.

That leaves 52 of the 67 members of the Senate (77 percent) and 87 of the 134 members of the House (65 percent) who collected July paychecks.

Put another way, shutdown pay is going to 66 percent of the 93 DFLers and 72 percent of the 108 Republicans. They are:

Say again?

"How do I hold a penis?  Does this answer your question?"

I thought this was kind of amusing.  Two potential answers.

1] The obvious phallic microphone pose.

or

2] The John Wayne Bobbitt hand chop.

Which is also funny considering her recent factual glissando regarding John Wayne and John Wayne Gacy.

More John Wayne troubles.  The original.  Gacy.  Bobbitt.  Michele Bachmann for President.

Lest anyone think...

What's so funny?

"Well, I just got 2 life sentences for slaying an unarmed convenience store clerk."

Lest anyone think I only advocate strong sentences for criminals of color, this kid, too, deserves a 9mm double-tap to the cranium.  Seeing as how this won't happen, I'll have to settle for strongly hoping this guy gets sodomized both painfully and regularly.

I may hate the Palins, but I'd never wish the kind of ill will on them that I do for criminals of this comport.

The story:

DES MOINES, Iowa - A Minnesota teenager was called "evil" by a judge as he smiled during his sentencing Thursday for the slaying of an Iowa convenience store clerk last fall.


It was the second of two life sentences Michael Swanson received in the shooting deaths of two clerks in northern Iowa last November.Swanson, 18, of St. Louis Park, Minn., was first sentenced for the shooting death of Sheila Myers, 61, at the Kum & Go store in Humboldt where she worked. 


He later pleaded guity to first-degree murder and robbery in the shooting death of Vicky Bowman-Hall, 47, in Algona and was sentenced to a second life sentence to run concurrent with the sentence from Humboldt County.

Funny shit, huh?

Thin the herd, baby.  Thin the herd.

Stop it, knucklehead...

Stop it knucklehead, you're giving potheads a bad name.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Michael Beasley contines to rack up pot problems, this time caught with a half Z while pulled over for speeding.

Ok, let's try this link.

Happy Birthday America!

Land of the free, home of the brave and more assholes than you can shake a stick at.

"Synthetic drug ban has buyers racing"

This is from my home state of Minnesota, where the state government is shut down because they can't reach a budget agreement.

Hey assholes, worry about getting the budget done and NOT what people want to do in the privacy of their own homes.  Assholes.  Get your priorities straight.

People will always seek something to alter their moods.  Stopping that quest is a futile effort: waste of money, effort and time.

Minnesota legislator assholes include, but are not limited to:

State House Speaker Kurt Zellers
kurt.zellers@house.mn

Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch
sen.amy.koch@senate.mn

Again, quit worrying about what I want to do in the privacy of my home.  Sanctimonious assholes.

Because of the state shutdown, I was thwarted tonight in my quest to begin bringing heat to the MN Dept. Of Public Safety regarding all the crooked assholes on metro area law enforcement agencies.  I believe the public has a right to know what department these crooked cops now serve for, seeing as they so thoroughly destroyed evidence that charges weren't brought against any of them for their rampantly corrupt time in the Metro Gang Strike Force.

Nice.  Assholes.

Is this charming fellow in the newspaper for something clever he invented?

Or for beating the shit out of his wife?
