Lindsay Lohan in Court

 ...Insider saying "Lindsay Lohan Court" 3rd most popular search today on Yahoo.
This begs 2 key questions:
1.) Is it any wonder George Carlin thought the human race was doomed?
2.) Who the FUCK still uses Yahoo?

Happy 10th Birthday, Iraq War...Dangerous Minds | Dying vet’s ‘fuck you’ letter to George Bush & Dick Cheney needs to be read by every American

This says all that needs to be said...well, except fuck you to the cowards in the current government -a list too long to print...
Where is the justice and the truth and the American Fucking Way?
I'll tell you where, it's out in the alley, on it's knees in broken glass desperately trying to find the tiny, disease-ridden dick of a lobbyist so it can suck it.
And you know what? It's your fault. You keep voting for these lying-ass rat-bastards.
Bend over and take what you deserve......


Dangerous Minds | Dying vet’s ‘fuck you’ letter to George Bush & Dick Cheney needs to be read by every American: "To: George W. Bush and Dick Cheney
From: Tomas Young

I write this letter on the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War on behalf of my fellow Iraq War veterans. I write this letter on behalf of the 4,488 soldiers and Marines who died in Iraq. I write this letter on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of veterans who have been wounded and on behalf of those whose wounds, physical and psychological, have destroyed their lives. I am one of those gravely wounded. I was paralyzed in an insurgent ambush in 2004 in Sadr City. My life is coming to an end. I am living under hospice care."

From TheAtlanticWire.com: This Would be Infuriating if.....

   ...the blatant incompetence and cowardly, poorly-hidden white supremacism weren't so utterly comical.
With all due respect to the young lady- she seems nice and earnest enough-this is a great lesson:
If you are approached by someone to stand up for their cause and be used as an example? Be prepared to be used and made an example of.

   Anybody who doesn't think there isn't still massive institutionalized racism in this country either needs to sprout a brain-stem or listen to white people talk.


   My personal opinion is that most racism is due more to culture clash and ignorance than hate. I realize that there is definitely a hate component to it in the bigger sense, but just think about how completely ignorant of the world most people are. If any of you have lived in a severely economically depressed, crime-ridden area in a major city, imagine the average wonder-bread chomping, working-class white dude who has never lived there would react upon being dumped there.
That is what it is like for Whitey when he meets people from that background anywhere. They are foreigners, and his little Wonder-Bread-addled chimpanzee-brain is taught to loathe and fear foreigners simply because they are different.
Nothing much changes that quickly, we have the ability to evolve consciously, but that costs education dollars that we are unwilling to spend because those who profit from dividing and controlling us tell us so.
So, we get what we deserve.


" ...Neither Fisher nor Blum mentioned those 42 applicants in interviews. Nor did they acknowledge the 168 black and Latino students with grades as good as or better than Fisher's who were also denied entry into the university that year. Also left unsaid is the fact that Fisher turned down a standard UT offer under which she could have gone to the university her sophomore year if she earned a 3.2 GPA at another Texas university school in her freshman year.....


....Public opinion on race has changed over time as well. In the 1950s, surveys show, most white Americans believed that black Americans faced substantial discrimination but that they themselves experienced little. Today, despite gaping disparities between black and white Americans in income, education, health care, homeownership, employment and college admissions, a majority of white Americans now believe they are just as likely, or more likely, to face discrimination as black Americans."
