Gah, is it time to drink yet? Yes, it is! ALSO: If a fucktard security guard gives you any guff at all, about anything, tell him to suck your koch and walk away. Why the fuck people think they need to pay any attention to rent-a-cops is an enduring mystery in Chickenshit America. [America's War Within]

U-S-A!!! U-S-A!!!
thanks again, Bush
The only terrorist at The Mall of America are at the kiosk where they nag you to wax your eyebrows. Would you just walk up to a chick on the street and offer to give her a Brazilian?
Depends on the chick…
But Barb, if you don't buy that Special Dead Sea Mud and Salt Exfoliating Facial Scrub Enhanced with the Piss of Jesus Himself, then the real terrorists have won, amirite?
Lol! Facial Scrub with the piss of Jesus? What's it called? "Urine Sane?"
If that stuff isn't sold already on QVC or HSN, it will be shortly. "Waters of Our Lord Cosmetics"** being hawked by some female bible thumper. And the little old ladies snapping it up would be legion.
** I figured this would work on a marketing level-If it were artsy folks I would go with PissChrist Cosmetics.
I almost like PissChrist Cosmetics. I mean, not that I'd ever use them, or buy them for a lady (or fella) I adored.
Only if the Brazilian works for Al Jazeera.
Ever since the USA PATRIOT Act, I feel so much safer.
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

We used to take a certain pride in our courage — "the home of the brave" — and our willingness to live with risk in exchange for freedom and opportunity. Guns, for example. By any rational measure, the prevalence of guns increase the risk of being shot. That is, guns diminish our security. But gun-ownership is one of our cherished freedoms. So we make the trade.
Trial by jury means people like O.J. and Cassie Anthony do not go to jail. But we don't want the government to be too powerful. (I don't understand the right-wing's affection for the death penalty, which gives the government the legal power to kill its own citizens.) We make the trade.
Well, we sure solved that "they hate us for our freedom" problem.
Makes me long for the days of duck and cover.
Does this mean I should get out the plastic and duct tape again?
Depends whether you're gonna use it on windows or bodies.
So this is what Sharia law looks like?
Not sure. . . but the 'stache on that security dude looks like a Wooly Willy wand attacked the cop from The Village People.
Needs more cower bell.
I, for one, can rest easy knowing that the security of our nation is in the capable hands of Paul Blart, Mall Cop.
Fusion center — who needs that? I got a Mr. Fusion right here in my DeLorean, to power the flux capacitor.
If you see black men with cameras, file a REPORT http://americaswarwithin.org/animation-following-...
It's a good thing we saved America from that awful man who wanted to turn it into a theocratic police state.
GOP thundering declaration of "See, this is another reason why we should defund NPR" in 3..2..1…
I consider a Nation collecting random information on its citizen to be suspicious activity. It is also very dumb, the idea that more data is better is only true to the point were it can be competently analyzed. I would also like to point out that if you are contemplating a career in law enforcement you should probably shave off the 70’s porn mustache.
When did Freddie Mercury's twin brother get a job as a mall security guard?
Since everyone is a potential terrorist and/or criminal, the more data the better! Holy shit – how did the United States turn into early 70s Soviet Union? "Where are your papers – show me your papers!!"
Fox News is our Pravda.
In Pravda, there is no izvestia
In Izvestia, no pravda.
Imagining that I'm on vacation with my family at Mall of America => does not compute.
I think that's the suspicious behavior mentioned in the video.
Sounds like we are a step away from the lovely UK tradition of Anti-Social Behavior Orders although in Amerikkka they would be used everyone all the time.
Funding for Texas firefighters: no
Funding for the photography police: yes
Christ, when I think of the people who fought and fight for our freedom (in the military and in civil liberties organizations) I feel ill…
Photography is not a crime!
Also – "pt loserland"? I'm not sure what that tag means but it's probably very appropriate.
Too bad purchasing a firearm can't be considered "suspicious activity."
Does the term: "Information Overload" mean anything to anyone inside our Government? Apparently not.
I always tell security guards that I will do anything they say provided it is within the bounds of their civil authority to tell me to do it.
Given that they have absolutely zero civil authority it generally works out pretty well for me. Also, the words are long and the phrase generally confuses them.
I am shivering right now.
Someone please hold me.
Thanks, Ken.
I went to a post other than the gop debate liveblog to try to feel better.
