I see Palin Derangement Syndrome continues unabated:

A federal judge presiding over a case involving an autistic boy took a shot at former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin for bringing her Down syndrome child on stage after a debate last year.

U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald made the remarks during a settlement conference with lawyers involved in a lawsuit against a luxury building in Manhattan. The parents of an 11-year-old boy are fighting a 25-pound limit on dogs, saying a big dog is medically necessary to help their son cope with Asperger’s syndrome.

“That kid was used as a prop,” the judge said. “And that to me as a parent blew my mind.”

Yes, it’s an opinion, and, like assholes, everyone has one.   Well, at least until that’s properly made illegal.

Honestly, Palin in 2012 might not be the best choice but I sure as fuck want her to try – and win – just for the sheer pleasure of watching so many fucking liberals’ heads explode. 

Yeah, that’s the ticket!

UPDATE:  I just have to ask…how many people would be as elated at the election of the first WOMAN President as they were at the election of the first black mulatto President, particularly if that WOMAN was Sarah Palin?

Re: yesterday’s mention of the Life Truth, “if you’re not pissed off then you’re not paying attention,” I offer this corollary: “The more you pay attention, the more fucking pissed off you get.”  To wit:

H.J.RES.5 
Title: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President. 
Sponsor: Rep Serrano, Jose E. [NY-16] (introduced 1/6/2009)      

Dumbest Idea EVAR.  Seriously, take a good look at the last, oh say, half-dozen presidents, and think really fucking hard about how much longer than 8 years you’d like to have any single one of them in office.  Just to refresh your memory, here they are:

1. George W. Bush
2. William J. Clinton 
3. George H. W. Bush 
4. Ronald Reagan 
5. Jimmy Carter 
6. Gerald Ford

Scared now?

Señor Serrano is, as expected, a Fucking Democrat, so I’m forced to assume this is just Attempt #1 at making The Messiah our new Dictator-for-Life.  What, they’ve just stopped teaching History in law school?

As a dedicated purveyor of Snark, this article blog post at TechCrunch was, naturally, of interest to me.   

Canadian model Liskula Cohen has sued Google for a number of snarky remarks that were made by a blogger using the company’s Blogger service. The NY Daily News reports that the former Vogue cover girl has been called ’skanky’ and ‘an old hag’ by an anonymous blogger on a website called Skanks in NYC (could be deemed NSFW).

On the face of it, this is just another aging blonde’s desperate bid for contiued any relevancy, but let’s look a bit closer at the wording of the TechCrunch writer’s commentary:

While some people are quick to dismiss that the model would have a case, and that she’s just looking for attention, I’m not so sure. It’s nearly impossible to identify bloggers who don’t reveal their real name without the help of the companies that maintain publishing platforms, and a line has to be drawn somewhere regarding what people can say anonymously just because they’re using the internet to say it.

Emphasis, as they say, mine.

So,  just who is going to draw that line, and on what criteria is the line to be drawn?

This, Ms. Blogger, is what’s known as The Slippery Slope.  There are already perfectly adequate libel and slander laws in place, properly placing the burden of proof on the plaintiff, and basically only protecting their ability to earn a living – not to seek revenge for their hurt feewings.  

So what then do you propose be done to stop the meanies from being mean?  Whinge at them a little bit louder?  Spank them on their widdle bottoms?  Have the FBI invade their homes and cut their intarwebz connections?  

See where I’m going with this, dear?  Gods, you people are exhausting.

The comment section, featuring some of the finest deadest minds on the internet today 45 minutes ago are even better.

It _is_ illegal to say mean things about someone or some company.

According to federal laws, you are not allow to libel, slander, demean, lie, distribute graphical images, etc. If caught, you will be imprisoned.

I’ll just let you, my 96 loyal readers, chew on that one for a bit.  Mmm, tasty!

Here’s another future brain surgeon toe-picker:

How come all the comments are about her…

The pussy that owns that blog should step forward. It takes a real douche to take the time and effort to do this to someone. Get a life

Google should expose whoever did it

Trust me when I tell you, sweetums, that anonymous blogging is truly liberating.  Here’s your sign:

It has been noted that MLG and I are Heinlein fans, NAY, devotees.  Like him or don’t, the man advocated personal fucking responsibility over all else (Commandment #1 in our household), and was positively PRESCIENT where some things were concerned…   For example, in the novel Friday, the titular character is forced to travel through the California Confederacy on her way elsewhere, and runs afoul of both bureaucracy and politicians.  The picture so vividly painted here of California-of-the-future is of an insane asylum with the fuckin’ lunatics in charge. 

Sounds kinda familiar…

The California Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a young woman who pulled a co-worker from a crashed vehicle isn’t immune from civil liability because the care she rendered wasn’t medical.

The divided high court appeared to signal that rescue efforts are the responsibility of trained professionals. It was also thought to be the first ruling by the court that someone who intervened in an accident in good faith could be sued.

Lisa Torti of Northridge allegedly worsened the injuries suffered by Alexandra Van Horn by yanking her “like a rag doll” from the wrecked car on Topanga Canyon Boulevard.

Torti now faces possible liability for injuries suffered by Van Horn, a fellow department store cosmetician who was rendered a paraplegic in the accident that ended a night of Halloween revelry in 2004.

Kiss my ass.  The entirety of it.   Please?  

Yes, most people know that moving an accident victim is not the best idea, but this bullshit judgement insinuates that the defendant damaged the plaintiff a’purpose, that she deliberately cause the cow’s paraplegism.  Now, considering the girls were partying together, I’d venture to guess the plaintiff did not embark upon the evening actually planning to injure her co-worker, as something like that would be far more easily accomplished with a semi-auto, a length of sturdy pipe, or even, you know, your hands and the correct application of leverage.

What we actually have here is just another fucking freeloader, looking to make someone pay for the injustice of the universe, because she was surely about twelve seconds away from becoming The Greatest Cosmetician Who Ever Lived…at least until that bitch broke her back.   

SHIT HAPPENS, HONEY.  Get a high chair with wheels and keep doing your fucking job, hey?  

No, no, must bitch and moan instead, and add just a little more piss to the Self-Entitled Pool, so that eventually bystanders will simply stand there and watch the next car accident victim scream in agony instead of moving to offer aid and comfort.   WIN!

A judge in Montana has ruled that someone who wants to die can do so if they choose.

n her ruling, Judge McCarter wrote that “the Montana constitutional rights of individual privacy and human dignity” give a mentally competent person who is terminally ill the right to “die with dignity.”

The ruling said that those patients had the right to obtain self-administered medications to hasten death if they found their suffering to be unbearable, and that physicians could prescribe such medication without fear of prosecution.

Personally, I find the idea of requiring the State’s permission to extinguish my very own life pretty fucking offensive.  That, to me, is the ultimate infringement on my personal liberty.  As long as I harm no one else in the process, what right does anyone have to tell me I may live or die?  NONE, thank you, none at all.  

And preventing doctors from easing people from unending pain, from incurable disease, is just arrogance of the highest order.  That’s their MANDATE, you nosy fucks. 

I see that when I am Supreme Leader I’m going to have to open the Whoopass Container.  A lot.

I was going to post about this horseshit this morning, but something came up.  Now going back and re-reading the article some 12 hours later, and it’s still horseshit.

A lawyer representing a man charged with drunken driving has claimed Connecticut’s breathalyzers discriminate against blacks. 

…

Ruane said research shows the lung capacity of a black man is 3 percent lower than a white man’s and, therefore, black men’s test results vary from the sobriety standard set by the device.

All I have to say about that is this.  Honestly, there’s like TWO white guys in that list.
