Have They Lost Their Friggin' Mind?

Empire State Building lit for China, drawing ire

[...]
Journalist and blogger Marc Masferrer questioned legitimizing a government that continues to repress its citizens' freedoms, including their access to media and the Internet.

The only thing worse than lighting the fucker up to celebrate one of the most cruel governments in the world, would be to light it up in celebration of Kim Jong Il and his oppressive regime over the people of North Korea. Or maybe for Osama Bin Laden with him and his Taliban's control over the people of Afghanistan.

It really rubs my fur the wrong way to think that the owners of that building have even thought twice about pulling such a stupid fucking stunt.

Update: I snagged this 'toon from Protein Wisdom:

LVMPD (PoPo)

If you're planning a trip to Las Vegas, whatever you do, don't piss off the cops. Or the TSA.

I just took a little ride to a remote site our company has an affiliation with. The thermometer on my truck registered roughly 105 degrees outside right now. The sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky, no breeze to speak of. It's fucking hot out. Again.
The drive took me past the area near the airport where if you're so inclined, you can park your car and watch the planes take off and land.

Well, when I drove by there, the cops had some poor schmuck standing in front of their car cuffed. He was wearing short and shoes, but no shirt. I went to my destination, did my work and was returning to my office, which took me past that parking lot roughly 45 minutes later. The cops still had the poor bastard standing in front of their car, cuffed. I suppose to prevent sunburn, they had thrown a jacket over his shoulders. A black jacket.

That dude must have really fucked up.

I figgered this was only a matter of time:

Overweight? Prepare to Pay Up

Should Employers Be Able to Charge You for Being Overweight?

With health-care costs rising, some large employers are taking radical new steps to cut corners: They're charging overweight employees a fee if they don't slim down.
[...]

I warned about it here, and sure as shit, it's coming to pass.

Nannies say they want to "take care of us". But if you believe they are doing it for YOUR own good, you're an idiot. Their agenda and their pocketbooks are the only things they are concerned with.

Iran says detained Britons well, location secret

24 minutes ago

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran says British sailors it detained are well but has not disclosed where they are being held, Britain said on Monday, as tension over their capture and Tehran's nuclear plans sent oil prices to a 2007 high.
[...]

Oh yes. A fucking camel trips and oil companies raise prices.
Habib farts and ... you guessed it. Up go the prices.

Give me a fucking break. Summer is on the way and oil prices are going to go up once again.
Even if those gawddam Iranian camel fuckers let the brits go, oil prices won't come down any, and it will still be dubya's fault.

Stew On This

We've all heard the stories about how bad the Veteran's Administration hospitals are, and how badly their patients are treated. Or rather, not treated.
Now keep in mind that it's the government who is running those.

The same people who would be responsible for socialized medicine were it to be implemented.

1. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.
2. A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.
3. Colt: The original point and click interface.
4. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.
5. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?
6. If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words.
7. "Free" men do not ask permission to bear arms.
8. If you don't know your rights you don't have any.
9. Those who trade liberty for security have neither.
10. The United States Constitution (c) 1791. All Rights reserved.
11. What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand?
12. The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others.
13. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.
14. Guns only have two enemies; rust and politicians.
15. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.
16. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.
17. 911 - government sponsored Dial-a-Prayer.
18. Assault is a behavior, not a device.
19. Criminals love gun control -- it makes their jobs safer.
20. If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.
21. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them.
22. You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.
23. Enforce the "gun control laws" we ALREADY have, don't make more.
24. When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.
25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.
26. "A government of the people, by the people, for the people..."

Thanks Patty.
