Victoria Jackson Goes to Occupy Wall Street
Jebus, what a dipshit she is. I really admire this guy's patience with her, "inane" was far too kind a description of her questioning. She is contitutionally incapable of doing anything but annoying anyone with half a brain and good hearing. I would love to duct tape her and force her to listen to this interview. I wonder if even she can stand the sound of her voice?
And here's the parody.
Oh yeah, RepugnantThuglican debate here.

See "For Colored Girls"
"For Colored Girls
2010 R 133 minutes
Tyler Perry (Madea's Family Reunion) directs his own adaptation of the Obie-winning stage play by Ntozake Shange, constructed as a series of poetic vignettes that collectively explore the lives of modern African-American women."
So, there is the above description of the film and then there is the amazing experience of watching the film. I'm not much of a theatre goer, so some of it felt a little weird at first. Still, I have never seen such an awesome (in the true sense of the word) cast. They were, powerful and mesmerizing. The end of the movie was more beautiful than I have ever seen in a film before.

I love the graphs and charts and what Ryan Chittum does with them, lol

Walmart Bleach Fight Sends 19 to Hospital
By Stephanie Rabiner on October 12, 2011 8:48 AM (Findlaw)
Police have arrested Theresa Jefferson, 33, in connection with a Walmart bleach fight over the weekend.
Jefferson reportedly targeted her intended victim, and followed her into a Baltimore-area Walmart. Once inside, she attacked the woman with bleach, Pine-Sol and ammonia.
The chemicals mixed, creating a toxic gas. Hazmat crews were called, and nineteen people were sent to the hospital for eye and respiratory injuries.
It appears as though the Walmart bleach fight was part of an ongoing dispute between the two women. The unnamed victim is dating Jefferson's baby daddy, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Soon after the incident, Jefferson turned herself in, reports ABC News. She is currently being held on $350,000 bail and has been charged with assault, malicious destruction of property, and theft.
The theft charge may seem a bit odd, but when you consider the crime's definition, it makes significantly more sense.
Theft is commonly defined as the unlawful taking of property with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of its use or value. If you obtain property (cleaning supplies) without the owner's consent, and then destroy it (pour it out), you are unlawfully depriving him of its value.
Maryland law also makes it illegal to obtain property if the person "willfully or knowingly uses the property in a manner that deprives the owner of the property."
When Theresa Jefferson started the Walmart bleach fight, she knowingly used the cleaning supplies in a way that deprived the store of its value. Walmart certainly can't re-package bleach and Pine-Sol that have been on the floor.
OMG, you can't make this shit up. I didn't think the stupidity of people could still stun me. Consider me stunned.

I'm grateful to Adler for doing this because I have a hard time thinking clearly once I realize that the tactic of repeating the same lies relentlessly is being used again.
The Weekly Standard, National Review and the '53 Percent' Meet Occupy Wall Street
Ben Adler on October 14, 2011 - 3:42pm ET
"...It should come as no surprise that conservatives are misrepresenting Occupy Wall Street’s position on their right to be there, considering that conservatives have spent the last two weeks misrepresenting the substance of their views. National Review was quick on the draw, tossing up innumerable items on the subject last week...
... The other main tack conservatives have taken is to mock and dismiss the protesters as ignoramuses and extremists..."

The man fell and died close to Occupy SD
It wasn't a suicide or homicide, it was an accident. Read the comment thread and notice how popular the right-wing fucktards who mindlessly regurgitate Rush Limpdick and Asshole Hannity are. It makes me sick how many assholes there are in this county.

Carl Demaio and Nathan Fletcher MAKE ME SICK, the fucking attention hogs. They are part of the problem with not just local politics but national politics. They are examples of part of the reasons why the national Occupy Wall Street protests are growing, Well that and the fact that Americans expect all kinds of services and don't want to pay taxes for them. San Diegans are egregiously stupid in this particular regard- Gimme gimmee gimmee, but don't raise my taxes to pay for it, bro. Why the politicians play into that retarded game is no secret, they are whores in the pockets of the M-I-C and the developers in this filthy county.
Fuck 'em. Fuck the stupid, selfish voters, the whore politicians, and the horrid, greedy developers who want to make a quick buck on their developments, especially if they can get the local governments to make up infrastructure funding deficits and then bail so they never have to deal with the cost of infrastructure maintenance.
I've lived my whole life here, but I think it's time to go somewhere else. Somewhere where there is water, a sense of community and less greed and selfishness.

I am still slogging through Paradise Plundered, Fiscal Crisis and Governance Failures in San Diego . Not "slogging through" because it is not well written, or difficult reading, but because it brings up anger and frustration. The kind of frustration being highlighted by the Occupy Wall Street protests.
