Rocky Delgadillo's Flameout: "It started with his wife’s suggestion that Delgadillo play hardball with Paris Hilton. 'She pushed hard for Rocky to go after Hilton,' the source says."
Rocky must surely know by now that it will go all the way up his ass - it may take a little while, but it will go all the way up.
And, Michelle, at least you'll never have Paris.

The Nice Looking Satan
Romney, Torture, and Teens: "133 plaintiffs filed a civil suit against Romney’s Utah finance co-chair, Robert Lichfield, and his various business entities involved in residential treatment programs for adolescents. The umbrella group for his organization is the World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools (WWASPS, sometimes known as WWASP) and Lichfield is its founder and is on its board of directors.
The suit alleges that teens were locked in outdoor dog cages, exercised to exhaustion, deprived of food and sleep, exposed to extreme temperatures without adequate clothing or water, severely beaten, emotionally brutalized, and sexually abused and humiliated. Some were even made to eat their own vomit.
But the link to teen abuse goes far higher up in the Romney campaign. Romney’s national finance co-chair is a man named Mel Sembler. A long time friend of the Bushes, Sembler was campaign finance chair for the Republican party during the first election of George W. Bush, and a major fundraiser for his father."

Download Until They Squirm and Beg
Thomas Jefferson Warned Us: "The record industry claimed that she used a certain Internet name to illegally download music at 4:20 a.m. on May 20, 2004. Andersen searched the Internet for the name and easily learned that it belonged to a young man in Everett, Wash., who admitted on his MySpace account that he illegally downloaded music.
Andersen provided the information to the record industry, but officials responded by publicly accusing her of downloading a series of violent, profane, obscene and misogynistic songs. Andersen was an avid user of mail order CD clubs, so 'defendants knew that Ms. Andersen listens to only country music and soft rock,' the suit says.
The recording industry's expert finally confirmed that Andersen's computer had not been used to download music, but attorneys still demanded that she pay money before they would drop the case."
This is not good. Lobbyists for the copyright industry have nearly completed their acquisition of the laws they need in order to purchase and control the rights to our culture, our history, our experiences. The living of a life will require a series of licenses.
This is a battle for everything. Fight without quarter is neccessary if the good is to prevail.

Rocky The Dick Exposes Himself
The Exciting World Of Justice, Egomania And Fundamentalism: "City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo's complaints of a two-tiered jail system where 'the rich and powerful receive special treatment' have come to back to haunt him.
Soon after Hilton was sent back to jail earlier this month, he acknowledged his wife had committed a similar infraction - driving with a suspended license. Among other things, he also admitted sticking the taxpayers with the bill after his wife crashed his city-issued car in 2004, and acknowledged that staffers have occasionally run personal errands and baby-sat his children."
...this guy should get lowered a number of pegs.
"A spokesman for Delgadillo confirmed that staff members have tended to some family and personal needs, but on their own time or during lunch breaks."
And of course, there was no pressure to do these off-the-clock 'favors' for their boss.
The small judge that sentenced Paris, and the transparent bully prosecutor that tried to propel his career by using her, are two weak streams that do not make a mighty river. They are merely, as Mencken noted, filled with "the impulse to punish the man with the superior capacity for happiness."
I can understand some folks having a problem accepting Paris Hilton's public persona, but I am not one of them. I have been charmed for a long time by her beauty and her escapades, never once thinking of her as anything but captivating and filled with a grand human spirit.

Southern Nazi Scum
Here's Why The Gods Do Not Favor Us Anymore: "The commander of the local VFW post, Colin Engelbach, told us what people were calling Darby.
COLIN ENGELBACH, VFW COMMANDER: He was a rat, he was a trader, he let his unit down, he let his fellow soldiers down, the U.S. military. Basically, he was no good.
COOPER (on camera): And you agree with that?
ENGELBACH: I agree that his actions that he did were no good, and borderline traitor, yes.
COOPER: What he says in his defense is, look, I'm an MP, and this is something which was illegal.
ENGELBACH: Right. But do you put the enemy above your buddies? I wouldn't."

Advertising Age Gets Thief To Steal Michael Moore's 'Sicko'
Once Respected Journal Stoops Low To Find This Claude ?: "this reporter downloaded a copy and watched it late Thursday night "
Do all the reporters and writers at Ad Age steal things? Is it a mandatory skill-set requirement?
Here's a lead for 'ya: "Crack-ho/stringer Fiasca Knum stole Claude Brodesser-Akner's laptop yesterday - and sure enough it's chock-full of porn and stolen property."

DA's Wife Gets Off While Paris Shits for the Guards
The Full Court Press - The Judge Fucked Her and Now The DA's Fucking Her: "'What's annoying is all these people are going on television saying that she was drinking and driving,' said Nicky. 'She's not in jail for DUI. That's a big misconception. She's in jail for driving on a suspended license, just like the D.A.'s wife was. ... She got a $186 fine.'
(On the day he sought more jail time for Paris Hilton, Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo acknowledged his wife got a traffic ticket two years ago while driving with a suspended license. She received the ticket – and the $186 fine – for failing to obey a turn-only sign, but wasn't ticketed for driving with the suspended license). "
Do 'ya think the DA's wife is an arrogant prick like her hypocrit husband? Or just maybe they're both jonesin' to see Paris take a piss?
Can't not wonder who wears the meter-maid outfit in Rocky Delgadillo's house?
And of course, it's just so very simple: pretty women should not be in jail.

They Had Imus, Now They Have Dick
I just can't stand Joe Scarborough in the old Imus morning timeslot. His phony, barker-like cadence is vastly unappealing. He drools over the exact same people almost every day - like the totally predictable Pat Buchanan; and even introduces him as if we haven't seen him every 30 minutes since 2003.
Joe wants to salute every rightie galoot he interviews and we have to sit and wait while he loudly and ceremoniously gives the world his "opinion", which never sounds believable in the first place - most sentient listeners sense that he doesn't know how to fill the time so he just bloviates until someone humanely calls 911.

Fred Thompson Will Sink Like A Rock
In The Medieval Mind Of The GOP, Sinkers Are Winners: "'I often say after eight years in Washington, I longed for the realism and sincerity of Hollywood.'"
His ideas have the gravity of wingless planes and empty horses. And where he springs from - and seems to fit in so well, is the land of fakery and idolatry that is ridiculed by all who swear to support his candidacy.
He should get his 15 frames of fame - but then yank him off the stage. He's a total reject. He offers nothing except hatred for reason and meanness and insults for the left.

Adam Dug The Grand Canyon - Eve Invented Southern Cooking
Republicans Appear Daily In Their Own Diorama At The Creationist Museum: "Republicans saying they don't believe in evolution outnumbered those who do by 68 percent to 30 percent in the survey. Democrats believe in evolution by 57 percent to 40 percent, as do independents by a 61 percent to 37 percent margin. "
Science Schmience. The Republicans refuse to evolve without a fight!

Is The Enemy 'Evil', Or Is 'Evil' The Enemy' ?
But either way, let's all be thankful that Uber Creepy outgoing Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Peter Pace will hand over the 'Spear of Destiny' to a new guy:
In February, , Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, a Vietnam War veteran - and current nominee to become new Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, spoke to sailors stationed at Pearl Harbor:
" 'I honestly believe this is the most dangerous time in my life.'
'The enemy now is basically evil and fundamentally hates everything we are — the democratic principles for which we stand … This war is going to go on for a long time. It’s a generational war.' ”
It is the wisest observation that evil, not people, is the enemy. I am choosing to believe that this is what Admiral Mullen means to say.

Slimey Godless Nutcase
Orrin Hatch, Pirate: "Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) suggested Tuesday that people who download copyright materials from the Internet should have their computers automatically destroyed.
But Hatch himself is using unlicensed software on his official website, which presumably would qualify his computer to be smoked by the system he proposes.
The senator's site makes extensive use of a JavaScript menu system developed by Milonic Solutions, a software company based in the United Kingdom. The copyright-protected code has not been licensed for use on Hatch's website.
"It's an unlicensed copy," said Andy Woolley, who runs Milonic. "It's very unfortunate for him because of those comments he made..."
"...Hatch on Tuesday surprised a Senate hearing on copyright issues with the suggestion that technology should be developed to remotely destroy the computers of people who illegally download music from the Net.
Hatch said damaging someone's computer 'may be the only way you can teach somebody about copyrights,' the Associated Press reported. He then suggested the technology would twice warn a computer user about illegal online behavior, 'then destroy their computer.'
Any such technology would be in violation of federal antihacking laws. The senator, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, suggested Congress would have to make copyright holders exempt from current laws for them to legally destroy people's computers.
On Wednesday, Hatch clarified his comments, but stuck by the original idea. 'I do not favor extreme remedies -- unless no moderate remedies can be found,' he said in a statement. 'I asked the interested industries to help us find those moderate remedies.' "
This purebred fascist is the pretty face of the underworld of capitalism, where man striving for profit is the only acceptable mode of life for the free citizen.

Don't Be Afraid, He's The President
Uber Primate Gets Pissed: "Friends of his from Texas were shocked recently to find him nearly wild-eyed, thumping himself on the chest three times while he repeated “I am the president!” He also made it clear he was setting Iraq up so his successor could not get out of “our country’s destiny.” "
Glurck!!!
"Some big money players up from Texas recently paid a visit to their friend in the White House. The story goes that they got out exactly one question, and the rest of the meeting consisted of The President in an extended whine, a rant, actually, about no one understands him, the critics are all messed up, if only people would see what he’s doing things would be OK…etc., etc. This is called a “bunker mentality” and it’s not attractive when a friend does it. When the friend is the President of the United States, it can be downright dangerous. Apparently the Texas friends were suitably appalled, hence the story now in circulation."
Really. Don't worry. The GOP has it all under control.

Peggy Noonan Finally Admits It
Bush offers the worst shit ever shat by a U. S. President: "One of the things I have come to think the past few years is that the Bushes, father and son, though different in many ways, are great wasters of political inheritance. They throw it away as if they'd earned it and could do with it what they liked."
I guess we're supposed to forgive her for enabling Bush for nearly 7 years. Her wisdom is a non-starter.

Let's Get Nuts !
Brownback Mountaineer Frightened Beyond Belief: "Man was not an accident and reflects an image and likeness unique in the created order. Those aspects of evolutionary theory compatible with this truth are a welcome addition to human knowledge. Aspects of these theories that undermine this truth, however, should be firmly rejected as an atheistic theology posing as science. "
Oh, now I understand.
"If belief in evolution means simply assenting to microevolution, small changes over time within a species, I am happy to say, as I have in the past, that I believe it to be true. If, on the other hand, it means assenting to an exclusively materialistic, deterministic vision of the world that holds no place for a guiding intelligence, then I reject it."
Gee, I see what you mean. You are such a genius!
But "I'm afraid I'm going to have to block you."
