- Scott Walker asked the greedy working people of Wisconsin if they would kindly remove themselves from the capitol by 4 p.m. Sunday. And surprise surprise, the trust fund teachers did not listen, forcing poor Governor Walker to order policemen to clear out the building. But treasonous Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubb allowed dozens of protesters to stay the night, claiming that “people here have acted lawfully and responsibly” and “there’s no reason to consider arrests.” He even let union organizers enter the building to deliver food. Food. The police can no longer be trusted. Scott Walker needs a Libyan Amazon Sex Brigade. [AlterNet/AP]
- Twenty-two banks have already failed this year (you probably didn’t hear about it, because, you know, “Justin Bieber got a new pubecut”). Meanwhile, Bernie Madoff described the government as a giant Ponzi scheme during an interview with New York magazine. [CBS]
- Some movie stars won awards last night. Other movie stars did not.

Well, Bernie. Takes one to know one. Asshole.
Now let's just prosecute and incarcerate those other Ponzi buddies of Mr. Madoff and we might get somewhere.
In Bernie's defense, many criminals are in prison because the laws are unfair. Bernie was just enjoying his Capitalistic tendencies, when the Feds came along and spoiled his fun by arresting him.
Maybe some more tax breaks will ease the pain of being a much-deserved victim of prison rape.
Fucking idiotic corrupt morons….oh and Bernie, what you did was worse than the original Ponzi. He ripped off fellow immigrants, sure but they were strangers. Bernie coldly took money from friends who thought he was a "nice Jewish boy in good standing at temple" and therefore as a fellow Jew they could trust him not to backstab his friends and entire community by ripping them off so ruinously. What Bernie did was cartoonishly evil like Dick Cheney's entire existence; so…in closing, Bernie…shut the fuck up and when can we give this guy a lethal injection of lard syphoned off from Rush Limbaugh's ass?
Hey now…Bernie was just practicing the "Ayn Rand method of retirement security": rip off your wealthy friends and transfer what they have to yourself. Seriously though, this wingnut Ponzi scheme crap is ridiculous. A Ponzi scheme is set up with the expectation to grow quickly and fail at some point…while Social Security has existed for nearly 8 decades without ever missing a payment and Medicare has existed for nearly 5 decades providing healthcare. If there ever comes a time when either program resembles a Ponzi scheme it'll be because the GOP privatized them and let the Bernie Madoff's of the world get ahold of either or both. Also, a Ponzi scheme is a for-profit venture (duh wingnuts) while government programs are not-for-profit; you pay in and you get back what you paid in plus a match.
Koch blocker gets cock blocked by cops.
I'm guessing the stupidly revealing one's true intentions (even if they were obvious to a lot of us) hasn't helped the Scott Walker Koch Blocker cause.
Especially with the publicity around the provisions of selling off state utilities to single bidders for any price (which is whatever the Koch boys say it is.)
…shit, ask Californians about fucking around with utilities…wonder if their recall in Wisconsin would lead to Andrew "Squiggy" Squiggman becoming governor.
I'm thinking, since we don't have any stars as large as Schwarzenegger, we'll have to "settle" for Mark Borchardt.
Maybe if Favre is really retiring this time he can return to Wisconsin and run for Gov by texting everyone his penis.
First we had the Twitter and Facebook Revolutions. Now is the time for the Sexting Revolution. Ugh, actually, that's just revolting.
You don't have to settle for a native Wisconsinite. Arnie wasn't born in California, after all. Heck, Arnie couldn't even pronounce California and he was elected governor.
I think you guys should start a campaign to draft Jean-Claude Van Damme. He couldn't be any worse than Walker, and I hear he's a Hard Target to hit in a debate. In fact, Walker would have Nowhere To Run if Van Damme came after him.*
*the magic of IMDB!
How about "Richie Cunningham," from Milwaukee?
Ron Howard? Pshaw! Clint Howard!
"The King's English" won all those Oscars? Fuck!
K-kuh- kuh- kuh – kenny approves! Just don't e-e-eat W-wuh-wuh-anda!
Maybe now the flood of free publicity for that awful convention of movie people giving each other awards will recede a bit. Kudos to our Wonkett for not being swept away.
And didja see that dude in a dress? Awesome!
That shit was just painful to watch; did anyone check to see if James Franco even had a pulse? Nothing more annoying than watching a bunch of gazillionaires pat each other on the back because they all managed to work 3 or 4 months out of the GD year.
Yeah, and anybody heard what Charlie Sheen is saying about it?
He blames the Joos.
I wouldn't mind a Libyan Amazon Sex Brigade myself. Where do you sign up?
Easy. Just stage a military coup, and use a combination of distributed oil revenue and ruthless oppression of the opposition to stay in power for 40 years.
Don't forget the giant tent!
Aww Yeah. Pitching a tent for my Amazon Sex Brigade as we type.
You just need to keep in mind Kenny Roger's words "know when to walk away, know when to run" – fighting to the last bullet is stupid. Get out with your Swiss bank account and your skin intact!
It seems a genocidal dictator can't even count on the Swiss anymore–they already froze all the zillions that Gaddafi and his family had stashed there (or so they said). Caymen Islands perhaps?
That's all part of Obama's next book, "The Great Pretender, or How I Became Dictator of America"
Libyan Amazon Sex Brigade would be a Great Band Name.
I voted for the Giant Fonzie Scheme…
(got so much up-fisting over the weekend that I had to change my avatar…it be-came a very sloppy mess…pee diamonds strewn everywhere)
edit: and, in no way am I complaining…for once.
Scott, you should have set up the chain link "free speech zone" first. It's not too late, you still can hire some destitute Dakotan farmers to come in and clean house.
Dakotan farmers are the Ghanians of the midwest?
When Noodlesalad said "Dakotan", he meant Walnuts! buddies from the Sturgis rally. Once they're done with Cindy, they'll chopper over to Wisconsin & whip some ass.
Worked for the Stones at Altamont. Meredith Hunter, not so much.
"….you still can hire some destitute Dakotan farmers…" Used to call them strikebreakers. Don't know what Blackwater type outfits are calling them now.
America cannot afford to have a Bieberpube Gap.
Ship Wisconsin's greedy working people to Libya. That will teach them.
Better yet, ship some Egyptians over here to teach us how to run a democracy again.
Well, maybe…at least in Libya they would find a more equal income and asset distribution and probably more respect for teachers and public service workers.
Access to the Libyan Amazon Sex Brigade might be problematic for the land-locked governor, he'd probably have a lot easier time calling up the Old Milwaukee/Swedish Bikini Team.
Sorry fascist dude, it looks like the police in your state actually know the law and are unwilling to obey your illegal orders and act as your private thugs. Sucks to be you, asshole!
After not watching the Superbowl this year, I also skipped the Oscars, and it felt liberating.
The internet is doing this to me too. It's a lot easier to call up the results the next morning without all the time-wasting TV time. Plus I finally replaced my steam-driven computer on Friday and home internet is now just as fast if not faster than at work. I'm looking forward to not watching the NCAA Tournament next, and totally missing the NBA playoffs.
God bless the Internet. I can watch almost all of the PBS Sharp episodes on Youtube.
Sigh. Sean Bean in that uniform. Hubba hubba
Seeing Sean Bean as Boredomir was a big WTF moment in my life.
Documentaries and BBC TV shows on Netflix streaming are more addictive than pharmaceutical-grade heroin.
Yeah, but what's with MI-5 season 5? WTF?
Once they started streaming all of the Errol Morris films, I couldn't stop. Just…need…one…more…
The IT crowd. Funniest show ever.
Just be sure to buckle your seatbelt and hang on tight. It's gonna be a wild ride.
I hope you at least did your civic duty and had a chili dog.
Hope youve arrived at the point where you can skip the Sunday Gas Bag Shows as well. I've been doing it for weeks now and I've never felt so alive.
I left my TV's in the States and here in Toronto for the past four years haven't owned one. Amazing the time it frees up and the inane conversations about Two and 1/2 Men, ect you don't have to be a part of. I highly recommend it and there is more and more available on the interwebz.
ALL CAPS INTENTIONAL, FOR EMPHASIS: I CANNOT AGREE MORE!!!!!I have several, but unless it is Al Jazeera English, Democracy Now, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Squidbillies, Lucy, Daughter of the Devil, or Colbert Report (none in real time) they do not get turned on in my house.
We cancelled cable more than 10 years ago and ever since the TV has been pretty much for videos and Wii. Whenever I think of re-subscribing I multiply $40 by 12 by 10 to figure out how much we would have paid for cable and that number works wonders in resisting the impulse.

I won't pay for Cable, but my wife does.
(Good save TT)
You're so right about that. First the pols spewing talking points, then the journasaurs venting their alternating opinions. Why did I ever watch those awful shows?
So many good and potentially productive and/or enjoyable hours gone forever down the drain of time. So sad.
I've been skipping the Super Bowl and the Oscars for years now. My only regret is not watching Trent pick up the award live last night.
I didn't watch the Oscars and haven't logged in to Wonkette for days either as Libya and related developments have taken all of my attention. Everything else, including Wisconsin, seems rather unimportant in comparison. I'll be back.
It turns out that the result of a game, no mater how greatly hyped, won't be changed by my watching it and just get the result or half-time score or whatever online.
This internet stuff may catch on yet.
Perhaps if you just prayed a little harder, then…
The chief of police in Madison is telling his officers to enforce the law and isn't taking orders from some jumped up right wing hack who wants to destroy the entire state for his own political gain.
Anarchy. The end of the world.
What next–Gadaffi being deposed by his suddenly democracy loving subjects?
It's fairly weird to actually see cops acting in a way that deserves respect. Go Wisconsin union non-thugs!
It's a world gone wild.
I luvs it!
Guess old Scottie's rethinking that Police and Firemen exemption. . .
Wow! Alert the media! Anyone see the Charlie Sheen GMA interview? Me neither.
Charlie Sheen is the only famous person in the world with a somewhat-appealing professional persona at variance with his real-life douche-baggery. This is why he must be destroyed. Elvis, Jacko, etc, are still okay.
Plus in the entertainment business, overtly expressing antisemitism is apparently not a wise career move. Who'da thunk it?
It is kind of fun, though, to see an extremely popular horrible show get canceled because of its' star's behavior.
They finally canceled Two and a Half Turds? Hallelujah. Guess the drunken creep was good for something.
Yep; apparently publicly spewing anti-Semitic insults at your boss is a bad career move.
Ha Hah!
/Muntz
Suck it, Scotty!

Looks like FOX News has found another well qualified economics expert with Madoff and he works for cigarettes.
Or buttsechs.
Or is tired of trading buttsechs for cigarettes.
Working for FOX news, he'll get all the buttsechs he wants, and for free!
During conjugal visits. "Oh no — it's visiting day, and Beck's here again!"
I saw a little of the beginning of Oscar ceremony and a little at the end. I was just not into Oscar this year — but what caught my attention beyond the preen-primp-&prattle pageantry was several references in acceptance speeches to "labor" and "work" (i.e. when Melissa Leo wrapped with "respecting the WORK– " I was sure she was about to say "…workers!" So, was it just me or, since I missed the bulk of the show, was it a recurring theme in folks' addresses the way other issues (AIDS; breast cancer; can't remember) have been for past winners' speech-turned-preach?
Well most of the Hollywood folks are unionized.
Didn't hear what Melissa Leo said besides "fucking", but there were at least two acceptance speeches that thanked the union film crews.
"The police can no longer be trusted."
Scott Walker Episode II: The Attack of the Koch-Clones.
He'll need to make an army of clones.
He's got one already, it's called the "Tea Party."
The Rock was totally screwed last night. The Tooth Fairy was the bestest film ever committed to acetate! I lost my shirt on the Oscar poll.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Julie Andrews in the same movie. Hollywood reached its zenith, there.
When I saw Machete was not nominated for anything, I questioned the credibility of the members of the Academy.
Scott Walker is right. These ingrates need to learn how to treat their betters. Uppity fuckin' teachers, nurses, office slugs, garbage delivery men, snow removal vermin all need to be taught a hard lesson.
Sarcasm much?
Can't help it. The situation pisses me off.
I'm wit u kid!
Getting tired of looking at this chanckroid Wanker's face. Is it me or is he
lacking ocular parallelism as it relates to ear location? Did his mom drop him
on his head?
That might help us gain clarity.
It's not you. Looks like early onset of Sloth-ism.
"That might help us gain clarity. "
Wouldn't it be nice if there was something that could help him gain clarity?
I heard a story once about a photographer taking pictures of families in the Ozarks (no idea why). He noticed that on down the line the kids eyes were getting closer and closer due to inbreeding…
That's what it looks like to me.
HA HA Scott Walker. The cops hate you too.
He needs to do the Gadaffi thing and import mercenaries. Like from Mississippi.
He better hope that someone remembered to pay the 75 dollar fire protection fee on the Governor's Mansion, cuz those firefighters tend to be unionized also.
Yeah, only in this scheme, the "investors" (citizens) get a "return on investment" (disgusting felons dying in prison).
Actors were given awards by other actors last night?
Was it on the TV?
Of course not. It was a quiet, intimate affair between professionals and friends. Shame on you for implying that Hollywood is filled with narcissistic attention whores.
Aren't circle jerks the kind of things that don't usually make air?
Have you seen C-Span recently?
Not fair. That's free programming. Gotta pay for it somehow.
And who is this Justin Bieber?
When will the Buffalo Beast call Gov. Walker back, I can see him falling for it more than once. Not that he ever gave a good explanation of the crap he sad last time, of course. Fucking fascist
That would be Awesome, especially if the caller convinced Walker that he had really truly talked to a Kock brother last time and the media had twisted it way out of proportion.
Walker: How do I know you're really David Koch this time?
Blog: I'm a very rich man.
Walker: Okay, that's good enough for me.
"I can see him falling for it more than once"
Especially if the Beast pretends to be the other brother!
I swore off the Oscars forever last year, when Jacko made their death roll and Farrah Fawcett didn't. Admittedly, it's like debating the relative impacts of Rudy Vallee and Aimee Semple McPherson on the film industry, but still….
Scott Walker is currently drafting a letter to the mayor of Detroit requesting the use of the Robocop.
Don't diss on #robocharity by associating it with Scott Walker.
The unicorns would like a word, too.
http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=robocop%...
They call him Mister Tubbs.
Bernie is wrong. The government is a Madoff scheme.
I give it two days til Scott Walker burns down the capitol building and blames it on the protesters
Käsenacht?
Ausgezeichnet!
Thankfully he took out a wonderful Koch Line insurance policy on it the day before…
That actually be rather appropriate given how thoroughly German Wisconsin is.
Does the police chief not understand that there are different rules for Friends of Kock?
Also, I went to Amazon and did not see the Libyan Sex Brigade offered. Sold out already?
If you need me just call. I'll do my best to fill in as a Sex Brigade.
Not for sale, but there are still rental units available on Ponce de Leon Avenue in Atlanta….or so I'm told.
The American spirit will put the kibosh on nascent Wisconsin Teabagger Fascism. (Or WTF for short.)
A group that once called Forrest Gump, one of the worst movies ever made, "Best Picture of the Year" is pretty fucking suspect.
But that still didn't suck as much ass as The English Patient.
I haven't seen that one and can't be sure, but I have a hard time believing that any award-winning movie could suck ass as much as that right-wing greatest hits album for baby boomers.
Hell, even crapfests like Batman and Robin or Battlefield Earth are unintentionally funny and therefore can be fun to watch; Gump has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
But, but – the presidents! The music! The memories!
God damn baby boomers.
To have the experience of seeing "The English Patient" without actually suffering through all six hours of it, just imagine a perfume commercial that lasts six hours.
Are we supposed to hate Forest Gump? oh no!
I didn't know people are allowed to make historically accurate movies in Hollywood, at all, unless they are about slaves or the Jewish people murdered in the Holocaust.
Scott Walker has that bizarre wingnut affliction of never appearing as though he is fully addressing the camera? The interviewer? Because of lying. He's also got those awful, inbred little beady eyes all these hateful fucks seem to have.
Makes the myopia come so much easier.
I guess when you're a cross-eyed right wing hack, you really do only see one side of things! The wrong side.
I've also noticed they all appear unsettlingly ageless and androgynous, no shit; from Ralph Reed to Grover Norquist to Newtie Boy. Have they all made some deal with you know who, al la Mick Jagger?
Maybe, but I think it's all the buttsechs..the "injections" must work like Swiss goat gland treatments.
Well, I have heard that they don't wash the jism off their face and ass. They let it dry, peel it off the next morning and eat it like potato chips. S'posed to be good for the skin and complexion. Who knew?
"Lazy Eye" is not really due to a lazy eye, it is more accurate to say, "Lazy Brain." See wiki, I'm too lazy to link it.
I don't get it. With the amount of money this Madoff dude stole, invariably you'd think that at least one person in the interview entourage would have shivved him in personal retaliation, for great justice.
He only hurt greedy rich fucks, so why bother. This is also the reason he got actual jail time. If he had hurt average Americans, like Blankfeld and that CountryWide fuck, he'd still be free as a bird and rich as God.
Now that would be 'Must See TeeVee'
In the latest adds up here in the great state of Wississippi, brought to you by the "Americans for Prosperity", they have a montaage of sad fireman, policeman, and huddled families with a voice over saying " soon police and ifrefighters in your community will be laid off. Do really want your family endangered because of union greed? Contact the democratic senators and insist they return and due their jobs. Stand by Scott Walker."
Shouldn't the Libertarian wing of the Republican Party want fewer cops on the streets? That's fewer people to try to enforce the law (which is unjust).
So they're literally threatening us now? Ugh, fuck them straight to hell.
They just don't grasp the concept that cops and firefighters are union members also, do they?
Sometimes cops and firemen, mostly white males, forget they're in unions themselves. I know a fire chief who is a teabagger and was even organizing for them down here. Fuck them. Those fuckers are treated like heroes and they get the fattest pensions of them all. Come election time, however, they are a reliable voting block for the GOP. I hope these douches lose all their benefits and have a more dangerous working environment as a result of the union busters they love to support.
Great! They'll have plenty of time to go to Madison and protest with all the teachers.
to protect the innocent working classes from Scott-Koch dictatorship we MUST seriously consider to impose a 'no-fly zone' over Wisconsin !
A no-fly zone over a "fly over" State…Interesting.
Mr. Walker is beginning to realize the police can't always be trusted to "follow orders," which is why certain "totalitarian dictators" create their own "brownshirt" goon squads to enforce their "agendas."
Some have used the name "Blackwater" in recent days. There is nothing past tense about this idea.
"you know who else had brown-shirted goon squads"?
UPS?
I'd thumb you all night long for that.
time to call his old buddies at wackenhut. http://crooksandliars.com/taxonomy/term/14831,195...
Did Gary Busey win? I had my money on him.
Could not attend, his teeth were in dry-dock being cleaned.
Gary Busey wins wherever he is, bless his disturbingly crazy heart.
It would really suck if all those unionized garbage collectors refused to pick up trash from Scott Walker's home or office. Or if the snow plows refused to drive down his street in the middle of winter. Or if those pesky water system thugs caused his septic tank to back up into his bedroom.
Really, that would be just awful.
I do like the way your mind works.
what would really suck is if they picked up all the garbage and, er, stuff from the porta-potties and dropped it off at scott walker's real house (not the gov mansion) and just sort of poured it out on his lawn. that would be just, just awful.
Now this comment is uncivil, just exactly equivalent to that congressman who laughed at a constituent's suggesting someone should assassinate Obama, and proves that both the left and right are equally uncivil; both sides do it.
-The Mainstream Media
Who are you kidding – they do that to the average citizen every day of the week
Judas Priest is not down with the Wisconsin protestors's restraint.
Well, Rob Halford doesn't know what it's like, he don't have a clue; if he did he'd find himself doing the same things too.
Any Judas fucking Priest reference on a Monday morning gets a big up from me.
I do believe the Emperors Koch are going to regret embracing their new higher public profile. Time to hire another battalion of ex Mossad agents for security so they can take a shit in relative peace.
No problem for them, they can afford it and prolly already have done so. But how many assholes have been hosed by their own mercenary Security? That has to disturb them in the quiet hours of night. I certainly hope it does, anyway.
so they can take a shit on workers in relative peace.
Re-added that unspoken bit there for ya. Must have been disappeared by the Koch Bloc.
I don't give a flying shit about awards unless I'm up for one. All it means to anyone is that you see "Oscar-Winning" tacked on as a title.
Who listens to Bernie anymore, and I know one police chief who should be memorialized with a major award one day.
Don't knock it. I think "Oscar-winning day laborer" has a ring to it.
Justin Bieber's pubes = the nation's excuse for having attention deficit disorder.
Bieber has pubes? Alert the media!
Don't girls usually start developing around 12? When will he get his first period?
Wow…sounds like Walker would like to take a page from W's book on ignoring the 1st Amendment.
Perhaps the naughty little whiny protesters need to go over to Scotty's house and have a bar-b-que on the lawn or hold a Tupperware party. I know I always need Tupperware and Mrs. Kock Walker would be thrilled to have the company.
Tupperware is the bomb. After the BBQ, the protesters could collect all their garbage, bag it, and leave it on the mansion grounds. Then may it sit there and rot.
P's go up, P's go down. How do you explain that?
That's how the P-ness rolls…
Because there are retards around who come here and vote people down because we don't worship Justin Bieber's pubes or something. Or because we think Dick Cheney is a dumb fuck. Or was it Bush? Whatever, also.
Eat your p's with honey
I've done it all my life
It makes the p's taste funny, but it keeps them on the knife.
Madoff want's us to believe that the hedge funds he did business with were aware of his fraud, but his own family, who held high executive positions in his own trust did not?
Sell me a bridge, Bernie. I already bought the Holland tunnel yesterday from a guy for $500.00 and I'd like to consolidate my grip on all ways in and out of Manhattan so I can start collecting sky-high tolls.
He's right, though, that the government sees its job these days as to basically to slip into Wall Street's hotel room at night and toss its salad until the sun comes up.
I was disappointed that Bernie didn't get an Oscar last night. The acceptance speech could've been awesome:
"I want to thank Congress; the SEC; JP Morgan; my accountants, Frik and Frak; my mother………uh, no, not my mother, I fucked her, too."
"Some movie stars won awards last night. Other movie stars did not. "
The in depth coverage that it deserves.
Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubb… Attaboy!
But wait, nothing about did we free Tibet?
Once the guys with the guns stop enforcing your commands, seriously, it's over. Just take a look at your fellow despots in the Middle East, Gov. Walker, they are lucky to have walked away with their heads still attached (although somehow, I don't think Gadfly will).
If we outlaw the enforcement of laws by people with guns, only outlaws will have to enforce the laws? (Give us 'arf a mo', we'll get this sorted.)
"Scott Walker needs a Libyan Amazon Sex Brigade."
Considering all the emails I've been getting lately from Hosni Mubarak (thanks, Gawker!), I'm sure I could get him a good deal on one "slightly used" Amazon Sex Brigade any day now.
The upper-classes like to waffle on, we of the working class go in for more of a surly grunting.
Order the police to arrest people who haven't broken any laws and the police won't do it – can't explain that!
notice that this Walker Wanker Cunty person is another afficionado of the boot-black hair dye a la Mubarak et al. I told you it automatically marks someone as a compete prat.
a la Reagan? Oh no you di'n't.
I thought Gypper's secret to cover up that gray was a quart of 10W-40.
Ghadafy also has suspiciously black hair. It brings out the crazy in his eyes.
(I'll bet he has one of those shiny MAN-icures, too!)
Inxnay on the Onzi-pay Eme-scay. I just got in and I don't want to be the last one holding the bag.
Or, as Hosni M used to say (till about 17 days ago), "Pyramids: love 'em or leave 'em."
Say, can anyone offer more details about a story Stephanie Miller mentioned on the radio this morning about Walker going into a restaurant over the weekend, getting booed by the people there, and being asked to leave?
I think, even if Wanker had a Libyan Amazon Sex Brigade, they'd turn on him, too.
From WaPO so it must be true!!
The Merchant [a restaurant] in Madison, WI confirms that on Friday night, Patrick Sweeney (one of the owners) politely asked Scott Walker to leave the establishment when other customers began booing him. A bartender at The Merchant said that ‘his presence was causing a disturbance to the other customers and management asked him to leave.’""
Or it is a lie! You decide.
http://politisite.com/2011/02/25/liberals-only-wi...
AH HA HA HA HA HA
If I lived close enough I'd this visit this establishment. I wrote off a diner in town that had a Walnuts!/Snowbilly sign up in the window during the elections and I need a new joint. More power to'em.
i guess some right-wing pathetic internet trolling morons got all upset about this and dropped their greased anus balls burgers and picked up their v-tech phone and grabbed their long distance calling card and called the restaurant to mutter their disapproval saying the restaurant violated walker's civil rights. someone please explain the difference between asking someone who is causing a disturbance in your establishment to leave and discrimination a la woolworths lunch counter circa 1950.
Not to mention that the Civil Rights Act makes it illegal for restaurants to discriminate against people for race, sex, religion or national origin; it's perfectly legal to discriminate for other reasons, such as the common lack of shirt or shoes, having run off without paying in the past, or just being a giant flaming asshole.
When the public sector Security, Military and Police find their orders too illegal or distasteful to carry out then the private goons arrive on the scene. This will break no new ground in America, sadly. Can you say "Blackwater"?
One thing about the Republicans that always holds true: they will spend a ton of money in the name of not spending money.
But it always trickles down.
you mean like Barack Obama spedning 14 trillion dollars in 2 years…more than all previous presidents combined?
牛糞é
I was rather amused that the moron admitted they think the national debt did not exist prior to January 20th, 2009 myself.
no matter the language, you have the tact of a cheap prostitute, which seems to be par for the course for the subhuman, anti-intellectual, knuckle dragging rabid, mongrel users of this forum.
that's now Xe
Don't like the lawsuits? Change the name. Bless us all.
Not everybody knows that. When you use Blackwater, everybody knows that. I don't assume everyone is as informed as you obviously are.
still don't have a clue how it is pronounced, though.
"AssholeRapistKillerMotherFuckers" seems too long
But accurate!
Sad but true.
Many euphemisms for “Hired Goons” over our short but violent past. “Pinkertons” immediately comes to mind.
I tend to always think of Unions…and Democrats
mavi kichwa
Think, really?
Anyone else notice the Breitard crying about "union thugs" is over on Big Domestic Terrorism calling for murdering President Obama's supporters?
I consciously try not to pay attention to the Breitster.
Hate to go Godwin, but Bieber was the wrong German name to link to this news about Scott Walker.
Eh..Trent Reznor won best score (he's no Chu Ishikawa, but it'll do) . Other than that, I'm glad I watched Wifeswap instead.
Watched "Videocracy" about Berlusconi and his ownership of the media in Italy and man, the Italians are even more fucked up than we are. Emailed my buddy in Turin about it this morning, he says you can't find that video over there, though he has tried. Says he's embarrased to be Italian these days, got a "bunga bunga" (google it) from the guy at passport control in Frankfurt the other day…
Yeah, I have a friend over there and says she's sick of it. Hopefully Berle's last bunga bunga with that teeny bopper will send him to carcere carcere.
This impasse in Wisconsin will not end soon or well, I'm afraid. Walker is a dick and dicks never admit they're wrong. He's just incapable of doing that.
And you have Teatards encouraging him. No, this will continue until the people of Wisconsin have a recall election, and even then, the police will probably have to use tear gas to get Scott Walker out.
If they do resort to tear gas, let me offer this medical tip I learned in the Army. The instant cure for sinus headache and blockage is tear gas. It makes a helluva mess, but the instant pain relief is more than worth the effort it takes to wipe a bucketful of snot off your shirt or blouse.
Hey Riley, can you go wake Jack up? He must be sleeping off an Oscar hangover or something.
Walker's refusal to address the issues raised in the Buffalo Beast Koch call shows just how bad things have gotten in the past couple of years. These fucks don't consider anything worth explanation and they are allowed to get away with it. As far as the media goes it was a "prank" with no real content. And Walker's supporters just don't give a shit as long as he keeps feeding them the right wing lines.
If George Allen's "macaca" comment had been caught during the 2010 election he would have said something like: "Did I say macaca? Sorry, I meant colored boy." He still would have been elected.
This is OT, but what the hell is Huckabee doing on my Weather Channel scaring the olds about Healthcare reform? Didn't that ship sail long ago? Also, didn't his political career crash and burn much in the same way his healthy body did? Bloated, mumbling, bumbling, hillrod, shut the fuck up.
I've TIVOed the Oscars so I can fast forward through everything but the movie clips, the dead people, and the envelope openings. Haven't watched it yet, so I need to know if there are any Oscar spoilers, i.e., "information from the future," in this thread before I read it.
oh sexy wonders of wonkette, they're not opening the capitol this morning. i have been called to arms once again. anyone in madison, come on down.
the thing about this protestin' bidness is it just don't stop. i'm like a pouty schoolchild. 'but i don't want to protest today!' and voices in my head say 'you will protest and you will like it!' the voices in my head belong to you, dear wonketteers. all right i'm goin i'm goin. jeez. stupid walker.
Stick with it NIC we're rooting for you.
In SF they're unionized, yo!
In economic-collapse/movie-stars-winning-awards news, Inside Job won a documentary award. The filmmakers accepted the award and expressed their frustration that no one has been indicted for anything associated with the massive fraud perpetrated by the investment banks, which was the subject of their documentary. And that was promptly followed by a JP Morgan commercial. Really.
More people saw that commercial than will ever see that documentary, sadly.
I mean, Madoff has a point, he's just literally the worst person to try and make it. We have a society where the people with the 20% with the majority of the wealth have been granted the majority of the voice, and are using that majority to vote themselves the treasury. Thus, we lay of teachers en masse and use force of law to make sure they can't ever negotiate get their health insurance or pensions back when the economy's better, while at the same time, we think it's a good idea to bankrupt the country buy writing enormous checks to… well, people like Madoff, for the most part. It's a recipe for disaster, and everone knows it, they're just betting that the boat won't start sinking before they're ready to get off, or at least that they'll be able to buy their way onto a lifeboat.
These Faux Newz comments just reek of ignorance…and these are supposed to be the capitalists? They keep calling SSI a Ponzi scheme and yet they don't even know what a fucking Ponzi scheme is, how it operates or what makes it illegal. The morons think taking taxes and paying out benefits is the same as a Ponzi scheme…if that's true then every insurance company on Earth is a Ponzi scheme because they take in your premiums which partly go toward someone else's use. The difference between SSI and a Ponzi scheme is so fucking basic it's almost laughable. A Ponzi is of course, a FOR PROFIT venture…that's distinction #1, dillholes. Distinction #2 is a Ponzi scheme is SET UP EXPRESSLY TO FAIL…because as it gains members each members payments goes to another paying member (and vice versa) without any actual growth…hence the use of "scheme" as a design element but this is where any discussion of SSI departs: the one who runs the Ponzi scheme…oh they skim the shit out of the money. Lastly, when a Ponzi scheme fails (as it's designed to do) it leaves all members aside from the owner of the scheme destitute because transaction transfers all their wealth over the lifetime of the scheme into the owners pocket…and this is where a Ponzi scheme becomes highly illegal. If you think about it, other than being designed to fail a Ponzi scheme is pretty much similar to what any free market financial company does when times are tough.
Could one of my fellow fine libtards (who isn't as educated about Ponzi schemes as I am) do me a huge favor and post what I wrote about differentiating SSI from a Ponzi scheme over to the Faux Nuuuz comments? The reason I ask is, I won't register to the site as it will sully my computer even more so than furry porn would and also, I'll be shot in the head before I let Murdoch have access to my private information on facebook….This factual, textbook distinction will drive those slobbering imbicles red-faced with anger and also give you ground as a libtard to mock them for calling themselves "capitalists" when they don't know anything about their own system; which coincidently is one of the best ways to make them angry making it totally worth the effort to troll.
Having once been the guest of the Madison police department (for two hours – it was Halloween, these things happen) I can testify that they're aggressively reasonable most of the time, so I'm not surprised by their refusal to break the law for Walker at all. Damn Midwestern good manners.
how cute – I see what you did there – you simply regurgitated exactly what I said…like a parrot – thanks for proving my point. LOL
I just thought you might be happy to be considered a semi-intelligent human…but I can continue looking down upon you for the filthy simian of which you are.
I love you, too
Except my point was actually true, yours is false. Conservatives are anti-intellectual; they are the ones who decry intellectuals as "liberal elitists", and like to deny proven facts such as evolution and global warming.
"True," eh? according to what peer reviewed scientific journal? By the way, I am an atheist who acknowledges both evolution and climate change as fact (although it is a fact that the majority of scientists around the globe [56%] seriously doubt mankind's contribution) .
I advise you to acquire a copy of the Journal of Business Economics, Oct/Nov 2008. A 2-year study found that self-avowed "liberals" and "democrats" and 2.5 times more likely to:
not have graduated from college
have a criminal background
be unemployed
have mental and emotional disturbances
Journal of Business Economics
No such thing, shit for brains. Wanna spin that wheel again?
sorry – Journal of Economics and Business …I forgot that you people need to be spoon fed because you are inferior subhumans who lack critical thinking skills

Backing up one's outlandish claim is not "spoon feeding".
As far as crying about people's lack of critical thinking skills, care to cite something that actually, you know, exists to back up your outlandish claims? Or are you just going to keep up the feeble insults because you are having a tantrum over being called on your obvious lie?
And no one posting the sheer nonsense I quoted has any business whining about "mental and emotional disturbances". Also.
I love it when you snark at the trolls, grandpa <3
You and me both. They are strangely devoid of snark, humor and self-awareness. Leaving them madder and more frustrated than you found them is like shooting fish in a barrel.
Old Sean needs to play a few heros. He's been on a run of villans and its interfering with my daydreaming about him.
I'm too lazy to click on it.
You obviously have him confused with the esteemed Mel “Fuckface” Gibson. Charlie blames some teevee insider who nobody but him ever heard of. At least that's what the voices in his head tell him.
Thanx
Let me know when you are capable of formatting a complete sentence.
No, you want to go to Breitbart or Redstate for the anti-intellectual, knuckle dragging Republicans.
Why?
