Hoo'da Thunk It?

This is Dred-Scott-level fuck-uppery.
"This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. That speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that those officials are corrupt. And the appearance of influence or access will not cause the electorate to lose faith in this democracy."  
-- Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, Citizens United v. FEC, 2010.

Buck v. Bell

My Apologies In Advance

I'm gonna stop just short of asking, "Are we sure Seal Team 6 got the right guy?"



C'mon, now.  Seriously.  The guy's just a complete jag-off in some random videos telling us we're all evil and how we need to live our lives according to the fairy-tale bullshit that he thinks is the embodiment of the wisdom of his imaginary friends.  And the other one's dead - it is kinda hard to tell 'em apart sometimes tho'.

No - really - seriously serious.  Don't throw shit at anybody's head or anything.

Houston TX:
A 3-year-old boy died yesterday after having shot himself in the head in what police are deeming an accidental shooting, The Houston Chronicle reports.
Harris County Sheriff Deputies said that the shooting happened at approximately 12:30 p.m. on Friday. According to KHOU, the gun was in the boy’s mother purse, which had been placed on a shelf.
The boy’s mother was in another part of the house, but when she heard the gun go off, she rushed in and found her son with a gunshot wound to the neck and jaw.
In the two months of 2015 so far, almost 80 kids under the age of 12 have died from gunshot wounds here in USAmerica Inc.  (Gun Violence Archive)

Always looking for some good comebacks &/or useful vocabulary:

If Scott Walker sees 100,000 teachers & firefighters as his enemies, maybe it's time we take a closer look at his friends.
