Scott Roeder Found Guilty in 40 Minutes

Good! The jury did the absolutely right thing here. There should be no debate, no delib­er­a­tion, no con­tem­pla­tion. If you kill peo­ple, any peo­ple, just because your sky-daddy tells you to, you are a mur­derer. Now, because I actu­ally have con­sis­tent and log­i­cal moral beliefs, I hope that this cock-sucker is sen­tenced to life in prison. Because state-sanctioned mur­der is just as rep­re­hen­si­ble as sky-daddy sanc­tioned murder.

Stewart Bags on Olberman

Sometimes I think that those of us on the left take our­selves too seri­ously. Thanks, then, for Jon Stewart to take us all down a peg when needed.

More Bruce Schneier on Security

Once again, Bruce Schneier shows the way on the topic of real secu­rity. People have to real­ize that the only way that ter­ror­ists “win” is if we live in fear.

This has been linked far and wide, but it can’t be dis­sem­i­nated far enough or wide enough. Words of wisdom.

I Feel So Safe

Warning! Political and Local Interest con­tent ahead! Proceed at your own risk!

It’s nice to see that the United States has become a nation of panty-waisted shrink­ing vio­lets. Apparently two poor fucks fly­ing into this shit-hole of a state were detained by the cracker-jack (because that’s the box out of which they get their cer­ti­fi­ca­tions) agents of the TSA. Of course, upon inves­ti­ga­tion, they were released. And what, you might ask, were these poor sods’ crimes? Well:

  • Looking “Middle Eastern”
  • Talking “loudly” in a lan­guage that some grass-fucker hon­key didn’t recognize
  • Either watch­ing the movie “The Kingdom” or being present when the snitch was watch­ing it (the story is idi­ot­i­cally unclear on this point. As an aside, “The Kingdom” is a fan­tas­tic movie and fea­tures stunts by a
  • Getting up to take a leak.

There you have it. All you swarthy fuck­ers bet­ter make sure to keep you mouths, and your pros­trates, clamped shut, or it’s the inter­ro­ga­tion room for you. I swear I am so sick and tired of this nation of ter­ri­fied racist cunts. And don’t get me started on the com­ments to the arti­cle. Seriously, I may have to kill myself.

Layaway

Warning! Non-Techie Content Ahoy!

You may have seen a com­mer­cial that K-Mart has been run­ning lately encour­ag­ing peo­ple to make use of the “lay­away” sys­tem for pur­chases this hol­i­day sea­son. To explain lay­away for those who didn’t grow up middle-class in the last few decades, here’s the deal: Back in the hoary days of yore, when you wanted to buy some­thing but didn’t have suf­fi­cient scratch on hand, one of the choices avail­able was lay­away. The way it worked was, you put some money down, and then made pay­ments every one to two weeks until you had paid for the item. Then it was yours.

I know that, sadly, there are prob­a­bly some peo­ple who have been struck dumb with incredulity at that descrip­tion. “Mon Dio!” you say, aghast. “Surely you would just put such a pur­chase on your credit card.”

And, of course, nowa­days that’s exactly what you would do. But, as hor­ri­fy­ing as it may seem, there once was a time when peo­ple didn’t lever­age their futures just to have the new shiny now. Maybe it’s actu­ally a good sign that stores are bring­ing the con­cept of lay­away back. Of course, the banks will
