Whistleblower Gets Death Threat at Work

According to New York Times, Jack Palmer, an employee at the outsourcing company Infosys, has been getting harassed and even had a death threat letter placed in his office ever since he came forth to authorities regarding shady practices at his company.  I guess the “No Snitch” policy works in the corporate world much like it does on the streets.

Trayvon Was On The Phone With A Girl During Tragic Altercation

 

A 16-year old girl is speaking out to ABC News about the final moments of Trayvon’s life.  She was on the phone Trayvon as he was being confronted by George Zimmerman.

“He said this man was watching him, so he put his hoodie on. He said he lost the man,” the girl told ABC News. “I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast. I told him to run but he said he was not going to run.”

However, the girl says Trayvon eventually started to run.  George followed close behind with his loaded 9mm, meanwhile, all Trayvon carried was a “deadly” pack of Skittles.

“Trayvon said, ‘What are you following me for?’ and the man said, ‘What are you doing here?’ Next thing I hear is somebody pushing, and somebody pushed Trayvon because the headset just fell. I called him again and he didn’t answer the phone.”

As reported by ABC News, Trayvon’s phone records show that he was on the phone with the girl (whose parents asked that her name not be used) just five minutes before the police arrived on the scene.

“He knew he was being followed and tried to get away from the guy, and the guy still caught up with him,” Tracey Martin, Trayvon’s father, told ABC. “And that’s the most disturbing part: He thought he had got away from the guy, and the guy back-tracked for him.”

 

Yeah, I can see how Police would believe this was self defense don’t you?

Exercise in Futility

  Resistance is Futile

The Borg-like Mitt Romney suffered incredible primary losses in the southern states of Mississippi and Alabama last night.  Once again he showed he cannot win in the South.  Lucky for Mitt he will be running agin a negro Nazi, socialistic communist, Keynesian Marxist Muslim who hates white people and wants to take their guns away.

The longer the Republican primary race goes on, the more it seems that Mitt the Inevitable may become Mitt the Fortuitous (if he is allowed the nomination).  The Republican party is going to have to pull a rabbit out of the proverbial bag of dirty tricks if they want their man in.  Can’t wait for the show.

President Obama on the other hand?  Well, what will the Republican agenda be when he wins in November?  To make sure he doesn’ t win a third term?  Will they be able to overcome their racist tendencies and work with him to actually help the American people?  Or, will we give President Obama what he needs – overwhelming majorities in both the House and Senate – to do the things he knows that we know that he knows we want him to do?

Liquid Cancer

How Long Have You been Drinking It?

     In an effort to avoid having to label their products carcinogenic, both companies, Coke and Pepsi, are reformulating their products.  Thanks guys.

Exxon Effoff

  Republicans Full of Gas

     By now we all know that the United States consumes approx. 20% of the world’s oil while our domestic production capacity sits at 2%.  We could not drill enough oil here in America to supply our own addicted demand, much less influence world oil prices.  Yet Republican presidential hopefuls continue to blame President Obama for the spike in prices at the tank.  Newt Gingrich even goes so far as to say,  if he’s elected President, gas prices will be $2.50/gallon.  Remember when John McCain said he knew where Osama Bin Laden was?  All we had to do was elect him President and he would tell us.  Well we all know where Osama is now don’t we?

     Interesting interview yesterday.  Matt Lauer of the Today Show asked about the increase in gasoline prices.  Rex Tillerson, Chairman and CEO of Exxon (the world’s largest oil company) stated: “What drove these prices up is entirely the crude oil price.  Supply and demand is fine.  So what’s led to this most recent run-up?  Obviously concerns about the rhetoric over the closing of the Strait of Hormuz and the conflicts with Iran.”  What?  Did he just say that?  Yes, yes he did.  The 1%er confirmed that Wall  St. speculators are responsible for the drastic and sudden increases in gas prices.  Not President Obama.  So sorry Republicans, I guess it’s back to the drawing board!

p.s.  – Drill baby drill!

Limbaugh Humbug

As advertisers flee and radio stations go silent, one must ask:  

What’s the Rush?

He’s been spewing his particular brand of crap for decades – why now? Suddenly you can’t call someone a slut and a prostitute? What’s this country coming to?  There used to be a time when a half-assed apology was good enough! Ahhh the good old days … when men were men and women were quiet.

Unfortunately for us, Ronald Reagan unleashed this voice of unreason when he repealed The Fairness Doctrine in 1987. The incurious have been suffering ever since, and in turn the rest of us.  Unfortunately for Rush, while he stood oblivious (perhaps the Oxycontin), the sands of time have shifted right under his beleaguered feet. Could this be the end of the road for the fat bastard?  Will he become a political martyr  for the Republican party, or will he hang on to continue to regurgitate the vile, divisive, racist, sexist, hypocritical vitriol of his party?  Stay tuned…

I Love Vagina -or- You say Virginia…

He wants to Get to Know You...

     Vagina Rules!

     Rule #1:  Women vote dumb-ass.

     Possibly the most wonderful creation God has ever made, I love it.  Do you? Why do Republicans hate vagina?  I would argue their apparent war on women proves it right?  Is it jealously? Envy?  Payback for past denial?  Something Freudian perhaps?

    The latest:  Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell (R)  says he will sign into law a bill that would require a forced vaginal probe and a waiting period before any abortion.  This would be done regardless of patient or doctor consent.  Governor “get to know you” McDonnell is rumored to be high – on Mitt Romney’s list of possible vice presidential running mates.  Maybe he is just trying to endear himself to women voters?

     Question: Why are there any women in the Republican party? Can someone please explain it to me?  This example is just the latest in a long line of anti-woman policies the power-drunk Republican Party has unleashed.  For a party that claims to want government out of our lives, they keep finding creative ways to be involved in the most intimate parts of it.  The right of a woman to her self-determination is just that – hers.  Dumb-ass.

Orlistat! Gingrich Loses Weight

Breaking News: Newt denies Oily Taint

      Having easy access to laughing gas is not a good thing.  With renewed urgency, California attorney Orly Taitz continued to beat her dead horse.  At a Gingrich campaign event in Pasadena California, the leader of the birther movement appealed to fading Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich to adopt her flailing cause.  ”Somebody who wouldn’t be good enough, who wouldn’t be certified to pick tomatoes or clean bathrooms is sitting in the White House.” she emphatically stated.  Not willing to take on the added weight of the birther fantasy, Gingrich said, “That’s a project you should pursue.  I have enough issues to debate Obama about.”

     Oh Newt.  Such the politician.  He once again skillfully played both sides of the fence.  He of course recognizes the futility of the birther movement and the damage it might do if he were to openly embrace it.  Be assured, he also knows there is a following for the nonsensical movement, so, as he has done from the beginning, he disrespectfully refers to the President as “Obama”, subliminally confirming and reinforcing the talking point that the President is not “the President” and he too questions his legitimacy.   Oh Newt.

* Xenical (Orlistat) – a weight loss pill whose severe side effects should be Googled at your leisure.

The Norquist Quest Continues…

Operation: Usurp

President Grover Glenn Norquist. The man, the myth, the fact, the fiction.  Instead of striving to achieve the perfection of the vision of our forefathers – a life espoused by the the Constitution, Grover Norquist appears intent upon morphing it, changing the country into a mutated version of his own creation.   Like a dog with a bone, he won’t let go.  His apparent contempt for the Constitution fuels his end run around it.  Why run for office when through lies, manipulation, bribery, blackmail, race-baiting, intimidation and cleverly planted puppets, you can force your personal agenda upon an entire country?

Can we get this man his own country?  On the moon perhaps?  Newt Gingrich will never be President of the United States but,  hmmm…
