Happy Monday everyone!
Now for the little glitch in our post-racial America:
Black kid shot 6 times, 2 in the head, for walking in the middle of the street.
Feds stand down to Cliven Bundy as Patriots take aim to defend his theft of government resources.
Good morning, sleepyheads. and a beautiful day it is. I noticed at the top of the page one of the ads for "Food for Patriots". If you haven't visited the site, let me be the first to recommend it. Make sure you are prepared for the coming apocalypse…you're gonna get hungry…
off-hand related? I got Denver Rescue Mission
I'm getting "The Number 1 rule for Flat Stomachs". Wait, now it's "Written a Book?". Guess somebody thinks I'm a would be author with a paunch.
A Little over the Top?
Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz calls himself a "liberal Democrat who would never vote for Rick Perry," but he's still "outraged" over the Texas governor's indictment Friday on charges of abuse of power and coercion.
The charges are politically motivated and an example of a "dangerous" trend of courts being used to affect the ballot box and politics, he told Newsmax on Saturday.
"Everybody, liberal or conservative, should stand against this indictment," Dershowitz said. "If you don't like how Rick Perry uses his office, don't vote for him."

Did yo buy some gold for your bunker whe you were visiting Newsmax or a super-secret device to screw your power company?
AC is using this one weird trick to prepare for the unthinkable.
Meanwhile, at VICE today: It's Time To Start Preparing Yourself for President Rand Paul:
The thing about Paul and his supporters:
Another day, another conservative Republican gets arrested. This time, in the state of Iowa where Henry Rayhons, a 78 year old GOP state representative, was arrested by the Hancock Sheriff's Dept. and charged with having non-consensual sex with his wife, a mentally incapacitated Alzheimer's patient at a nursing home. (Again, Republicans getting in trouble for visiting a nursing home! Stay away from the nursing homes!)
I'm sorry and I must be a terrible person but this made me laugh. The stay away from nursing homes line did it.
Wow. These guys are just so confused about the whole issue of "consent". Let me clear it up.
A potential sexual partner has to be awake, of mental and physical age to consent, not coerced, and able to speak to say "Yes". Or "No".
Since there was no possibility of reproduction,due to the advanced ages of Mr. and Mrs. Rayhon, this might not even have been Biblically sanctioned sex.
Perhaps a stay in prison might clear up the whole consent issue for Mr. Rayhon.

And yet another Republican Reprobate in court today. This time in the state of Colorado where State Senator Steven King had his initial advisement in court on theft, forgery and embezzlement charges in Grand Junction. His support system consisted of his father in law and a former campaign volunteer. Where were his former colleagues in law enforcement when he needed them?
Sounds like the 'support system' might include the judge as well..
If he testifies on his own behalf will the Sheriff's Dept have to file a 'Brady Letter'?
And of course, there is the continuing story of "As the Worm Turns" in Virginia where the Republican ex-Guv and his wife are presenting their defense to corruption charges.
A sad note: one of the last of the great RINOs, former Sen. Jim Jeffords of Vermont died today.
Colorado SD5 Push Poll…
Elkhurst Communications–which is a push polling firm run by the GOP pollster David Flaherty (Magellan Strategies and 'manager' of the 'Redestricting Technology' for the RNC) and whose push-polling firm has before tried to skew reality around coal issues, is push polling in SD5, at least in Delta County, on the SD5 race, between 'Democrat' candidate Kerry Donavan and Republican candidate Don Suppes. Kerry is described as a Vail town council member and director of a ski and snowboard program; Don is described as mayor of Orchard City and a small business owner . Then I am asked if my opinion changed. The one issue they poll on are the new EPA carbon rules, which supporters say will help address climate change and which opponents say will destroy jobs in places like western Colorado. Would my position change if I knew where candidates stood on this issue???
So I think we can see some sort of dark money mailer in Delta County mailboxes soon…Vail snowborading skiing elitist who probably believes in that climate change stuff and Don Suppes, small businessman, small town mayor, loves him some coal… You heard it here first.
(They also asked about Hick and Beauprez, and included the Libertarian candidate) They did not 'poll' on Udall/Gardner.
And apparently they are schmucks that don't care about being rude

Did I mention it is a Repubican 'polling' firm? Am I being redundant?
ct, I'm afraid this is one of those cases wher trying to opt out just let them know they've got a live one. I hate that.
And yet he is a go to guy for the Colorado GOP, and all sorts of RNC races where a little dirt needs smeared. Apparently Ryan R Call don't give a shit that they are harassing Coloradans, tired after a longs day work trying to make it in the Bush economy, wealth being siphoned off by the non-working investor class and squirreled away overseas. To be called over and over again by some slime ball doing the Colorado GOP's work. You think they'd be ashamed of themselves….just kidding (on that last part).
Hell in a handbasket in Ferguson…frustration, tension, people throwing bottles at police, police lobbing tear gas. A battle for the streets. So much for the National Guard keeping the peace. Journalists are being pushed around, arrested, threatened.
44,000 people watching the live stream of "I am Mike Brown – live from Ferguson".
St. Louis Times Dispatch Special Report – mainstream journalism on the ground.
What do the protesters want? They want the perpetrator, (Officer Darren Wilson, who shot unarmed Mike Brown 6 times) arrested. They want to see him in handcuffs, doing the perp walk. Then things will calm down. "No Justice, No Peace," chant the protesters.
What does Missouri Governor Nixon say? "If we're going to achieve justice, we first must have and maintain peace."
What the hell is going on with Officer Darren Wilson? Where is he? Why are they still protecting him?
Mama, just 'cause he shot an unarmed man 6 times (and 4 of them went into an upflung right arm, like the kid was surrendering or something) doesn't mean that that cop did anything wrong.
And the 250 white people who went out to support said cop (in addition to a break-off group of the KKK) didn't get tear gassed or nothing because they protested in the daylight (not after dark when cops can't see black people well and get all scaredy-cat about it).
As someone who used to protest in the 60s, I can tell you that tear gas and riot gear just used to settle us right down and make us respect the police instantly. "Course back then, the riot gear was a lot lamer than what the cops in suburban St. Louis have access to. . .
Riot batons and sheilds. Pshaw. You old-timers think that's how to establish a police state, knock a few hippies around on the TV? Give me an M-50 and an MRAT any day.
I clearly miss both the spell check and preview functions. You should see what my notes look like when I actually have to write them out…
You aren't the only one!
