After all, look at the kind of team he ran as the head coach of the San Francisco '49ers!
Ray McDonald indicted on rape, Ahmad Brooks on sexual battery
I'm sure Jimbo Fisher and Urban Meyer are concerned now that there's new competition for the absolute bottom of the barrel.

More stupidity, exactly as expected.
The White House came out today stating that the shooting in VA meant that we needed more gun control legislation. They said this without knowing any of the relevant particulars of the case. That was stupid, and easily predictable.
It's interesting that the President couldn't wait to get out in front of this story and cover himself in the blood of the victims before their bodies are even cold. Interesting in the way that it completely isn't, because it is to be expected from someone this completely crass and disgusting. (The Donald has a long way to go before he is as crass as Obama.) More interesting is that the President didn't bother to give any praise to the Americans who stopped a terrorist in Europe last week, even though the Socialist President of France quickly gave the men the highest award the nation of France has to offer.
...
Meanwhile, it seems the killer in question in VA, a gay, black radical who wanted to kill blonde white chicks and start a race war, is completely fucking nuts. If THAT narrative holds up (I'll give that a about a 11-1 chance of staying true), the problem won't be gun laws, it will be mental health monitoring procedures. But that remains to be seen. Let's at least let families, friends, co-workers, and live viewers of the shooting* have a few days to compose themselves, grieve, and bury their dead before we get on with the usual political nonsense.
* I only mean those that were watching live, or perhaps those that watch the station fairly often. Those watching live saw three people shot and two murdered while watching a fluff piece about local tourism. That isn't the same as being there, but is still a shock. Those who have watched the footage since? That's your own damned fault, and you should have know better. If you want to be voyeuristic fuckwads, watch (legal) sex porn, not murder porn.

The stupid piles up so fast you need a helicopter to stay above it.
This morning's execution of two local TV news people on live TV in Roanoke VA has really brought out the stupid in people. (And let's not forget that a third victim was shot, though she appears to have simply been an incidental target. Last I checked it sounded like the third victim is expected to live, though I've heard nothing on the nature of her injuries.)
On Twitter I didn't even have to go looking for it. The English declared themselves morally superior to Americans, and pointed out that the same people that support gun rights also support slavery. Yes, seriously, I saw this, but I'm not giving any of the fools mentioned in this post any publicity. (And it is embarrassing to see that Englishteachers professional educators don't know the history of their own country, and that they don't realize that 1776 comes after any date prior to 1776.)
Others took different angles. I saw one Twit from Chicago, and whose profile claimed he were originally from Detroit, point out that the area in question voted heavily for Romney in 2012, and were therefore likely very pro-gun, and therefore it was their fault. The irony of the Twit being from Chicago and Detroit completely escaped him. Nor did this black man (based on his picture) make any note of the fact that the shooter was a black man, which had already been noticed by that point in time.
Someone else stated that if there had been MORE people with guns around they would have prevented this. The attack, by every account I have read and seen (NOTE: I have not watched either the live news feed of the attack or the killer's own footage of the attack, and won't), was an ambush. If everyone there had had a concealed carry permit and was packing, it would have made ZERO DIFFERENCE, as the attack was a surprise and over in seconds.
The stupid is all around for this one.
SIDE NOTE: Drudge has a shot up at the top of his page of the reporter and her interview subject apparently at the moment they're being shot. That is in exceptionally poor taste, even for a self-acknowledged muck-raker such as Matt Drudge. Bad form. Cum-stained dresses are one thing, but this is something different.

Truly an impressive display of cognitive dissonance.
Note to Sanctimonious English Cunts
Slavery was imported into what became the United States of America by the English. The cavaliers in the South wanted the free labor, and the roundheaded Puritans up north were happy to profit from the trade thereby.
Please remember that the next time one of you Limey cunts wants to be sanctimonious about America's original sin: It was your sin first, we just inherited it.
(Next time we'll just leave you bastards to the Germans.)

David Gergen - Shill for the Olgarchy
There's so much dishonesty and crappy reasoning in this piece from David Gergen that it's hard to know where to begin. But I think I'll start with this:
First, we never really came out the recession. As Bernie Sanders likes to point out (and Trump too, though not with numbers), if the Labor Force Participation Rate were the same today as it were in 2007, the U-3 unemployment rate (which is the one they always discuss in the news) would still be over 10%. Ten fucking percent unemployment for 6+ years! We only came out of the recession in anything other than a technical sense because we're lying about the numbers. And by 'we' I mean the people in charge, not any of us.
Second, Biden is no friend of the working people, having sponsored a bankruptcy reform bill in 2005 that re-wrote bankruptcy laws in a way favorable to the banksters, and in a way guaranteed to make wage slaves out of the vast majority of future college students.
Third, while I am not a Catholic myself, I do think it is probably hard to call yourself a good Catholic when you are in favor of millions and millions of abortions each year, and in fact want more and more all the time.
Maybe I'll address the more subtle lies later, but probably not. Not even a giant dung beetle from a Japanese Godzilla-type film* could digest a shit sandwich of this size.
* That would be a 'kaiju' film, to all the nerds out there.
It is not clear whether coming events will play into the hands of Bernie Sanders -- they should on inequality -- but they should certainly give Joe Biden more of an opening. A man who was at Obama's side in coming out of the recession, friend of working people, a good Catholic -- those could be high cards for him.I can see at least three blatant lies in this paragraph.

Straight Outta Da Slaked Lime & Chalk Bucket
Via CNN, I saw this story from The Hollywood Reporter:
But yeah, I can see how the guys who rapped about all women being bitches and 'ho's, and how bad-assed violent they were to everyone, and how they wanted to kill all the cops, would be afraid that one of them might end up looking bad if they put in some scenes that showed that, yes, he DID like beating the Hell out of women.
Here's another bit from Dre's past:
Pretty funny that a film about a bunch of self-described niggas contains so much whitewash.
The self-described gangsta rapping nigga has a history in which he has treated some women badly. (I know, right? Who'd a thunk it?!)
A couple of examples from the article.
Michel'le [a former fiancee - Gato] told VladTV she has accepted that his allegedly abusive behavior during the six years they were together, which they've both openly acknowledged, isn't in Compton.
I wonder if he was good to his word, and only hit every other part of her besides that eye from that point onward?"Why would Dre put me in it? If they start from where they start from," she said, "I was just a quiet girlfriend who got beat up and told to sit down and shut up."
She also recently recounted his alleged abuse, telling morning show The Breakfast Club, "When he gave me my very first black eye, we laid in the bed and cried. He was crying and I was crying because I was in shock, hurt and in pain. I don’t know why he was crying, but he said 'I’m really sorry.' That was the only time he ever said he was really sorry. And he said, 'I’ll never hit you in that eye again, okay?'"
But yeah, I can see how the guys who rapped about all women being bitches and 'ho's, and how bad-assed violent they were to everyone, and how they wanted to kill all the cops, would be afraid that one of them might end up looking bad if they put in some scenes that showed that, yes, he DID like beating the Hell out of women.
Here's another bit from Dre's past:
[Hip-hop journalist Dee] Barnes, meanwhile, penned an essay for Gawker in which she reflected on a 1991 record-release party where Dre allegedly tried to throw her down a flight of stairs, choked her and pinned her to the floor of the women's bathroom with his knee on her chest. Barnes settled out of court with Dre, who pled no contest to assault and served two years probation. Barnes said she doesn't think the incident should have been in Compton.
"The truth is too ugly for a general audience," she wrote. "I didn’t want to see a depiction of me getting beat up, just like I didn’t want to see a depiction of Dre beating up Michel’le. ... But what should have been addressed is that it occurred."Yeah, let's not show it. That would be too real. And we shouldn't have any reality in a bio-pic, should we? Especially if it makes the stars look bad. I'm sure if we had gotten an IKE Turner bio-pic, we wouldn't have seen him beating the crap out of Tina.
Pretty funny that a film about a bunch of self-described niggas contains so much whitewash.
Don't cross the streams!
More fun with vibrancy from South Florida! (Suggested tourism slogan: South Florida, where FUN gets its face eaten!)
This time, a teen gets hacked to death by a bunch of fellow students! Yay!
This story has several 'vibrant' & 'fun' elements. First, for 'vibrancy' we get this about the victim:
The first bit of 'fun' comes from this description of the crime.
What the fuck is up with teen mating rituals these days?
The second bit of 'fun' is that the female suspect (more on them in a few paragraphs) was upset because she had missed the start of the beating that preceded the murder because she had gone to pee in the woods.
The final, most concerning bit of 'fun' is this:
The final bit of 'vibrancy' concerns the identity of four of the five suspects:
We keep getting told that all the Third World immigrants are making America more 'vibrant'. Well, we already had our own native 'vibrant' elements. (See blacks, doctors, politicians....) One would think that people would have learned by analogy to not cross one's streams of 'vibrancy'. But learning by analogy is a fairly sophisticated concept, and I guess no one remembers the 1980s any more.
This time, a teen gets hacked to death by a bunch of fellow students! Yay!
This story has several 'vibrant' & 'fun' elements. First, for 'vibrancy' we get this about the victim:
Jose Amaya Guardado's mother said she brought her son to the United States nine years ago to escape the violence rampant in their native El Salvador. But now his family is mourning his death in what police describe as a brutal machete attack.
"I brought my son from there because they were killing people," Lucia Guardado said, in Spanish, at the family's south Miami-Dade home. "I never imagined they would do something like that to my son here."Apparently, she had never heard anything about Miami post-1977, nor America post-1965. We've been importing that into the country at an ever increasing rate for 50 years now, and Miami has caught some of the worst of the Hell.
The first bit of 'fun' comes from this description of the crime.
According to the report, Amaya Guardado was ordered to lie in the shallow grave after the initial attack, but he made one last attempt to fight off the assailants. That's when police say Arbelo struck Amaya Guardado several more times with the machete until his face caved in. The suspects then pushed Amaya Guardado into the grave and buried him, according to the report. Strickland and another suspect stayed behind after the killing to have sex, it added.How'd that conversation go? "Hey, baby, let's hack somebody to death with a machete out in the woods, then bury the body, and then fuck until we get bit by deer ticks and contract Lyme Disease?" "Okay. But you'd better not cum in my eye after ass fucking me again!"
What the fuck is up with teen mating rituals these days?
The second bit of 'fun' is that the female suspect (more on them in a few paragraphs) was upset because she had missed the start of the beating that preceded the murder because she had gone to pee in the woods.
The final, most concerning bit of 'fun' is this:
Amaya Guardado's father, Santos Amaya, said his son began attending the school months before his death. Amaya said his son — the youngest of six siblings — wanted to learn how to be a mechanic, but the family didn't know the school took in students with criminal records.
He said his son was roommates with Arbelo, who the police report describes as the primary attacker in the group accused of killing Amaya Guardado.
...
"When you go there, they only show you the good," Santos Amaya said of the school, speaking in Spanish. "They don't show you the ugly."
A telephone message left late Friday with the U.S. Department of Labor wasn't immediately returned. In a statement released Wednesday, a Labor Department spokesman said security is their top priority.No, fuckheads, if security were your top priority, you wouldn't be locking known criminals in with people trying to improve their lots in life through the magic of education. (Anyone want to bet on the likelihood of the criminal records for some of these folks being violent in nature? No? No suckers in this crowd, sadly.)
The final bit of 'vibrancy' concerns the identity of four of the five suspects:
Miami-Dade police have charged four of Amaya Guardado's classmates with second-degree murder: Kaheem Arbelo, 20; Jonathan Lucas, 18; Christian Colon, 19; and Desiray Strickland, 18. Detectives said they're expecting to make a fifth arrest.Pictures can't tell you everything, and neither can names. But the combination of both would indicate that Arbelo & Colon are Hispanic, and Lucas & Strickland are black.
We keep getting told that all the Third World immigrants are making America more 'vibrant'. Well, we already had our own native 'vibrant' elements. (See blacks, doctors, politicians....) One would think that people would have learned by analogy to not cross one's streams of 'vibrancy'. But learning by analogy is a fairly sophisticated concept, and I guess no one remembers the 1980s any more.
Maybe there is something to those claims of racism in the media.
A case of a White Behaving Badly (WBB, similarly to Blacks Behaving Badly, BBB) turned up. A doctor in Texas seems to have decided to go over to the Dark Side and started botching surgeries on patients a few years back. The man's name is Christopher Duntsch, pictured below.
But goddamn if the picture at the top of The Dallas Morning News article isn't a black man! At least it says within the frame that the man in the video is one of the patients injured by Duntsch, but come on, editor! Lead with the fucking criminal!

More on Moore.
Gregory B. Moore, subject of the previous post (go there now if you haven't read it yet), deserves another few inches of columnar, pixelated, editorial commentary from an overly wordy Felis silvestris catus. ((Yes, I've been alternating naps on a thesaurus & a dictionary for the last day or so. They're large, and when open, quite comfy.)
On Tuesday, December 2, 2014, Mr. Moore, perhaps under the influence of Satanic possession, went bat-shit crazy, killed one person, critically injured another, and committed a string of car-jackings. (I'm going to omit the 'allegedly' wimp-out language, as this guy is guilty as Hell.) An article in Sun Sentinel from that day gives some additional background.
Or perhaps Moore should have done the full four years in prison for the previous armed robbery conviction. Had he served out the four years, two other people would have lived past December 2, 2014. Note that the four years for armed robbery came AFTER other convictions for violent crimes. Justice isn't just blind, it's deaf and dumb, too.
Side note: I remember James Ellroy writing in one of his books (I believe it was Blood's a Rover) that the LAPD once had an unwritten rule that when practical, armed robbers should be killed. The reasoning for such a practice was that armed robbers had a very high likelihood of eventually killing someone, so it was better to stop them before they killed some innocent. I have no idea if that claim was merely a fictitious invention for his story, or if it had some basis in fact. However, it doesn't seem like such a bad idea, and is probably better than letting armed robbers out after less than two and a half years in prison.

The FBI identified the gunman as Gregory B. Moore, 35, who goes by the nickname Pop. Moore has a lengthy criminal record and is considered armed and dangerous.
...
Moore has served five stints in Florida state prisons going back to 1997. The longest and most recent stay was from Sept. 1, 2011 to Feb. 15, 2014, when he served nearly 2 1/2 years of a 4-year prison sentence for an armed robbery in Pompano Beach.
Moore's other convictions include burglary, assault, aggravated battery and cocaine possession.But that's not all! Moore had been arrested two days prior to his December 2 crime spree:
Moore's most recent run-in with police was Sunday [November 30, 2014 - Gato], when he was arrested about 3:30 a.m. by Lauderhill police. He was charged with possession of a weapon or ammunition by a convicted felon, posted $2,500 bond and was released the same day, records show.Perhaps the bond should have been set a little higher.

The Church Lady did it better.
From the always delightful Broward County, Florida:
BONUS: Moore, who has what one paper described as a lengthy criminal record, has eight children at the tender young age of 35. We'd better hope that Moore was possessed by Satan, as possession by Satan hasn't been shown to be a heritable trait, unlike, say, various forms of mental health issues, problems with substance abuse, or stupidity.
When Gregory Moore, the suspect in a fatal crime spree that shut down much of Broward County in December, was arrested after a two-day manhunt even he seemed incredulous at the trail of violence and destruction attributed to him.
The allegations he committed one murder, one attempted murder and five carjackings in a matter of hours were so crazy, Moore told law enforcement that people would say he was using flakka, a synthetic hallucinogen associated with bizarre behavior.
But Moore, 35, also known as Pop, denied he had used any drugs, saying his body didn't handle them well.Of course he doesn't. But he came up with better excuses.
"I don't [know] what it is, man, somebody did Satan to me, put Satan in my brain, man, it made my brain...," Moore told Gerard Starkey, a Doral police officer with the FBI task force.Ultimately, and perhaps fearing that he was infringing on Dana Carvey's intellectual property rights, Moore came up with one more excuse:
"I don't know man, it's a spell on me, man, just like my brain, man..." Moore said later in the interview. "Something like split my brain, it ain't no snap, man, a snap, Mr. Gerry, if a person snapped man, they don't... I don't know, man, because I don't know, man, people, when people snap, I guess they do a whole lot more things, man."I guess they do.

Deeply confused
Not sure if I'm supposed to stand up and cheer when a woman is getting punched in the head until she's unconscious and has brain damage, or if I should stand up and boo. Think I'll just find a sunny spot and take a nap instead.
VOX: The dumbest "educated" people on the internet?
There's a lot of competition for the title.
Vox headline:
And this isn't the only such example from this week of incredible stupidity from the fundamentalist pro-abortion crowd. Jodi Jacobson, Editor in Chief, RH Reality Check, (which organization seems to think the only good pregnancies are the ones that are ended), had an editorial this week in which they called an anti-abortionist a Hitler-loving slut because the woman in question had registered on an online dating site. (This is NOT an Ashley Madison story! Although I'll happily take the traffic.) Apprently being anti-abortion means that one both loves Hitler (figure out the logic of that if you can) and hates sex. Therefore, this anti-abortionist (I'm not using her name out of common decency) needed to be slut-shamed and called a Nazi. I'm sure Jodi Jacobson will be quite happy if her trolls flood the other woman's dating profile with all kinds of vile commentary. (Actually, I'm sure Jacobson would be happy if her trollish supporters found the other woman and beat her with truncheons before setting her on fire. Never too late for a post-natal abortion, right Ms. Jacobson?)
Clearly, Jodi Jacobson hasn't actually ever spoken with or read the views of any anti-abortionist. Not only are most of them not anti-sex, a great many of them, especially the evangelicals & Catholics, are very much pro-sex, and pro-sex for pleasure. It is considered part of the sacrament of marriage for many of them, and something that they should in fact do when they can, even if birth control is used. (This last part varies a lot, but it's out there.) It is a way to increase the intimacy between partners and celebrate the joy of being alive. (In part, I believe, so that the parents can present a unified front against their children, but that is merely inference on my part.) I know this and I don't even go out of my way to learn about these things because it's not part of my job.
But discovering the actual views of anti-abortionists isn't part of Jacobson's job either. Her job is to demonize everyone that doesn't believe that abortion is a right more fundamental than any other. In other words, Jacobson's job is to destroy the lives of everyone that doesn't keep the faith. Jacobson is an inquisitor - she only lacks the legal authority to go full Torquemada on everyone's ass.
The reason I've noticed this is because Jacobson has been forced to come out and apologize - for slut-shaming. She still thinks the other woman is a slut (any woman that likes sex must be a cumdumpster of a slut, by Ms. Jacobson's own reasoning), and a Hitler-lover, but slut-shaming is bad, because it offends real sluts and cumdumpsters.
I would link to some of this, but on the off chance anyone reads this and wants to give the vile folks of the RH Reality Check any traffic, you can look for them yourselves.
Christ Almighty, how did the most stupid people on the entire fucking planet end up being credible voices about anything?
BONUS SECTION: Here's a tip to any clueless fundamentalist pro-abortionists out there: The vast majority of the anti-abortion crowd isn't anti-sex, or anti-sex for pleasure. But they do believe that people need to live with the consequences of their actions if those consequences endanger the life of another person. And yes, they do think a fetus is a person. See how simple that is? Oh yeah, and next time you have sex, use a condom. It really isn't that hard.
Vox headline:
Pregnancy is painful, difficult, and dangerous. No one should be forced into it.
The article is not about forcing women to be pregnant. It is about abortion. Here's a sample for the article:Banning abortion isn't "preventing killing," it's forcing pregnancy.Apparently they think that merely failing to have an abortion means a woman is pregnant. And here I always thought the fundamentalist pro-abortionists were simply too fucking stupid to figure out how to use a condom, or similarly complex methods of birth control. No, they're about 40 IQ points below what I had imagined.
And this isn't the only such example from this week of incredible stupidity from the fundamentalist pro-abortion crowd.

She still thinks the other woman is a slut (any woman that likes sex must be a cumdumpster of a slut, by Ms. Jacobson's own reasoning), and a Hitler-lover, but slut-shaming is bad, because it offends real sluts and cumdumpsters.
I would link to some of this, but on the off chance anyone reads this and wants to give the vile folks of the RH Reality Check any traffic, you can look for them yourselves.
Christ Almighty, how did the most stupid people on the entire fucking planet end up being credible voices about anything?
BONUS SECTION: Here's a tip to any clueless fundamentalist pro-abortionists out there: The vast majority of the anti-abortion crowd isn't anti-sex, or anti-sex for pleasure. But they do believe that people need to live with the consequences of their actions if those consequences endanger the life of another person. And yes, they do think a fetus is a person. See how simple that is? Oh yeah, and next time you have sex, use a condom. It really isn't that hard.
