It’s the First Amendment, Bitches!

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Only a man would hold a ribbon cutting ceremony for a new toiletIn Scranton, Pennsylvania (of all the shitholes in the country) a legal victory for the foul-mouthed has been won. Dawn Herb was charged with disorderly conduct when her bastard cop neighbor, Patrick Gilman, called his fucking buddies to complain about her. Patrick said that Dawn was swearing too loudly inside her house (because her goddamn toilet was overflowing) and then ripped him a new asshole when he told her to shut the fuck up. District Judge Terrence Gallagher dismissed the charges against Dawn, ruling that her language was “protected speech pursuant to the First Amendment.” God, I do love when some son-of-a-bitch takes the time to read the motherfucking Constitution.

The Phil Philes: Groin-Grabbingly Transcendent

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005

Alitofacebook-3We would probably drop our inquiry into the personality and background of Son-of-Sam Alito, Phil, were it not so clear that he’s a very cool dude. Is that okay, right-wing blog police? We’re so not calling him gay (though that would make him cooler). His Facebook entry (click to enlarge) suggests a straight (girlfriend!) Simpson’s fan who doesn’t like his picture taken. More to the point, as one reader discovered, his Facebook pals include two students who joined with the ACLU to fight for the right to publish an article about sex in their high school paper. Were they allowed to come to dinner? MORE »
