Fun With Headlines, Post-Thanksgiving Monday Edition

UK Telegraph:  Rwanda joins the Commonwealth

What do the UK and Rwanda have in common?  Certainly not wealth.

CNS:  Sen. Conrad Suggests That People Who Don’t Believe in Civilian Trials for Terrorists Should Leave America and ‘Go Somewhere Else’

You mean there’s a country in this world that actually wages war like they want to win, and whose soldiers don’t have to memorize ACLU field manuals?

CNS:  Huckabee Leaning Against Another Presidential Run

Aww, why not?  After all, he’s got that winning plank of pardoning future cop killers.

CNS:  Poll: Rush Limbaugh Is Most Influential Conservative

Quick:  Name an influential conservative politician by the time you get to the end of this sentence.  Now, you see why a talk radio host is the most influential conservative?

St. Louis Beacon:  Limbaugh lauds UM system president’s letter lambasting cap and trade bill

Quick:  Name an influential conservative politician by the time you get to the end of this sentence.  Now, you see why a talk radio host is the most influential conservative?

Jihad Watch:  Muslim student at University of Texas-El Paso: “It is fun to blow people up”

Blowing people up — the next great intramural sport at UTEP.

NPI:  University forces all students to say that all whites are racist

If you don’t believe it when you enter as a freshman, then All Whites Are Racist 404 it’ll be a required senior course.

P-D:  ACLU, city work together to improve St. Louis jail conditions

The first order of business should be to move the St. Louis City Jail to Warrenton.  That way, it’ll have white inmates, white staff and white guards, and therefore conditions will improve a whole lot.

P-D:  FBI to feature bank robbers on new site

Enjoy the site while you can, because once it shows too many black faces, the NAACP will come a’bitchin.

P-D:  East St. Louis will add 1 percent tax to food, beverage sales

Good, it only affects Rally’s and malt liquor.

The Hill:  Gibbs: Despite research dispute, ‘climate change is happening’

Poor Bobby Gibbs, still waiting in the pumpkin patch for the Great Glowbull Warming Pumpkin to rise out of the patch.

Reuters:  Swiss minaret ban may signal new right-wing surge

I might say that one can but hope, that that’s so 2008.

Census Takers Cometh

Mayor Slop lauds the effort at Gateway Elementary to convert its students into census takers, or more accurately, to train them to nag their parents into filling out the census forms.

I’m guessing that Gateway is a pretty good elementary school, as far as SLPS schools go.  Because usually, SPLS students haven’t mastered whole number arithmetic until high school.

Good Start, But…

The negotiations between the ACLU and the City of St. Louis to improve conditions at the city hoosegow haven’t gone far enough.  Obviously, nothing the ACLU is involved with will touch the race taboo, and I would definitely include that.

However, what has always disturbed me about the concept of a county jail is that people who have been arrested and have not yet bonded out of jail and awaiting the disposition of the criminal charges are housed right along side of and in the same premises as people serving misdemeanor (or sometimes light felony) time for convictions already disposed of.  The two categories of inmates should be separated.

On the Murder of Four Sheriff’s Deputies in Tacoma

I’ve been worried for a long time that organized groups of blacks will start ambushing and taking out white cops, and specifically white cops.  I can’t say exactly where I got this premontion, but it happened before Barack Obama came along.  Now that he’s President, this has only served to turbocharge black arrogance.  It’s even worse among blacks who live in a city or state where they’ve been pandered to for a long time, such as Seattle.  Don’t forget, a few years ago, King County, Washington (where Seattle is, Tacoma is in a different county) changed its namesake from Pierce King (?) to Martin Luther King.  On top of that, I keep hearing all these pandering politicians that Seattle and Washington State has (read:  Christine Gregoire) go boo hoo hoo about how horrible this was, except the avalanche flattened the houses down in the valley because the Gregoires of the world were rolling snowballs on top of the mountain, so to speak.

Speaking of Governors — Mike Huckabee?  As David Spade might say, dah da da dah, da dah, da dah, it’s over.  His Presidential ambitions, that is.  (BTW, Jackoff, take the time and learn the difference between Christian forgiveness and civil punishment.  The former does not preclude the latter.)

Microsoft Releasing a Starter Version of Office

Only for bundling in new computers, to replace the oxymoronically-named Microsoft Works.

You can use a crippled version of Office if you want, but you can get the entire OpenOffice for free.
