Memorial Day

(USA) Today is MEMORIAL DAY, where Americans pause to remember our fallen soldiers, including those NEEDLESSLY SENT TO THEIR DEATHS by Bush and Obama. As we remember our fallen let us also not forget all the civilians, including children that our soldiers have MURDERED. This is also a good time to recognize that your American tax dollars are funding another army (Israel) who oppresses and murders PALESTINIANS.


Today, in fact, ISRAEL MASSACRED 9 UNARMED people on a Freedom Flotilla ship which was delivering HUMANITARIAN AID to the besieged people of GAZA.


Protest today against Israel's actions at the Israeli Consulate, 6380 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles 90048 at 4:30pm.

Gulf Oil Spill

Bush, Cheney and the oil industry were the architects of this disaster. A disaster that never needed to happen if we had a strict rules as Norway and Brazil have.

Photographers Say BP Restricts Access to Oil Spill (Newsweek)

The ability to document a disaster, particularly through images, is key to focusing the nation’s attention on it, and the resulting clean-up efforts. Within days of the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill, pictures of dead otters, fish, and birds, as well as oil-covered shorelines, ignited nationwide outrage and led to a backlash against Exxon. Consumers returned some 10,000 of Exxon’s 7 million credit cards. Forty days after the spill, protestors organized a national boycott of Exxon. So far, no national boycott of BP is in the works, despite growing frustration over the company’s inability to cap the leaking well. Obviously, pictures are emerging from this spill, but much of the images are coming from BP and government sources.

Ground zero mosque touches off right-wing panic

The community board in lower Manhattan has endorsed, by a 29-to-1 vote, a plan to build a mosque and Islamic cultural center about two blocks from the former site of the World Trade Center. Predictably, outrage has erupted. If you type "mosque" into Google, the first suggestion is "mosque at ground zero," which gives a sense of how quickly this has moved into the popular consciousness.


Mark Williams, a Tea Party leader and Fox News commentator, wrote on his blog, "The monument would consist of a Mosque for the worship of the terrorists' monkey-god." He added, "In the meantime I have a wonderful idea along the same lines as that mosque at Ground Zero thing… a nice, shiny new U.S. Military Base on the smoldering ruins of Mecca. Works for me!"

Time Warner Cable, How I Do Loathe Thee!

Can i just tell you how fucking much i HATE Time Warner Cable? Please? OK, here goes (from my twitter account):


I fucking swear, if TimeWarnerCable were a person, i'd murder her! Quit fucking with my #Dodgers game! #goshmutherfuckingdamnpieceofshitcunt


I might as well listen to the game on the radio, cuz this Time Warner transmission keeps blacking out! #Dodgers #Cubs #shittyoverpricedcable


Some of the most evil things in history: Torquemada, Hitler, the Eighteenth Amendment, Jiang Qing, Israel, God & TIME WARNER CABLE!!! Grrrr!


I wanna get all Torquemada on Time Warner Cable's ass after a Twenty-first Amendment binge. #drunkANDpissedoffryanisntpretty


I wish TimeWarnerCable's headquarters were located ontopof the DeepwaterHorizon oil rig! Eww, can u imagine how much dirtier the gulf'd be?!


Time Warner Cable can suck my ripe, un-showered ass after i've eaten a bushel of beans!


If the FBI could read my thoughts, i'd be arrested for making XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX against a certain corporation.


Subscribing to Time Warner Cable makes the baby Jesus cry!


Teacher says, every time Time Warner's phone rings for a new subscription, an angel goes to hell!


I think the oil spill was caused by someone on the rig throwing the tv at the well cuz Time Warner's service sucks ass!


The Titanic didn't sink, cuz it hit an iceberg. It sank cuz it hit a big piece of Time Warner's bullshit!


The Jews didn't kill Jesus, Time Warner's ancestors did.


Time Warner is the main cause of global warming, due to the steam coming out of its subscribers' ears!


In 2012, Time Warner will take over all TV transmission, bringing about the end of the world as predicted.


Oil spill was caused by Time Warner execs vacationing. When they went 4 a swim, they made the water all dirty w/ their slimy scummy selves!


The real end of 24 was that Time Warner was behind all the terrorism, but they threatened to not air it, so a new ending was written.


If Time Warner ran Disneyland, it would be known as the Fucking UNhappiest place on Earth.


Time Warner Cable is a slut: it's screwing people night and day!


If Time Warner cable were a gay man, he'd be a top, considering how many people Time Warner fucks in the ass every day.


That Lakers game sucked, but not as much as Time Warner Sucks.


Time warner sucks so much, they could single-handedly suck up all the oil in the gulf!


If China really wanted a reliable way 2censor the TV & internet, they should let Time Warner take over service-then no 1 would see anything!


If Time Warner's service were a person, it could file for unemployment, since it never works!


If Time Warner's transmission were Mother Nature, we'd have another ice age, since it's always freezing!

"This is a Nightmare" -- Clean-up Efforts Proving Costly for Wildlife and Human Health

ABC sends divers in Gulf only to find the OIL SPILL is WORSE than we thought. CHEMICAL DISPERSANTS are NOT WORKING as thought. Meanwhile, PLANS TO PLUG THE LEAK with earth and cement HAVE A 40% CHANCE OF FAILURE (by BP's own estimates)! If you're not pissed now, WTH is wrong with you?!


The chemical dispersants aren't making the oil disappear, they're sending it into droplets that are suspended below the surface. The drops will enter the gills or seep into the skin of any sea creatures swimming through it!


Capitalism stinks! Literally.

White House, Congress reach deal on repeal of DADT.

Saying that the two parties have "reached a deal" on DADT, sounds like there is some sort of compromise. THERE SHOULD BE NO COMPROMISE!! FUCKING REPEAL THE DAMNED DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICE!! Congress is willing to repeal DADT only if the Pentagon's review of the policy comes out in favor of repeal. I HAVE NO FUCKING FAITH that the MOST HOMOPHOBIC BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT is going to come out on the right side of this issue! It's like asking the KKK to recommend desegregation and integration in the 60s. If we let the discriminators decide when THEY are ready to be rational and non-discriminatory, we'd still have separate drinking fountains for blacks. The ignorant need to be forced into rationality sometimes. Having gays in the military does not harm the military or threaten or weaken our national security any more than allowing a black man and a white woman to marry does!
