Psychopath of the Week Redux

I'm reposting what I wrote at the beginning of this year, because this son of a bitch is back in the news again, spewing his garbage, as the news media continue to dance around the word "torture" and weasel out of their responsibility to report what's going on. Instead, they act like PR flacks and mouthpieces for the criminals who run our country.

Psychopath of the Week

Obama Just Gave Your Savings Account to JPMorgan

This is why I spend so much money on beautiful clothes. Because no matter how much I have saved -- and I've saved a lot -- I figure I'll be screwed out of it by the oligarchs who run the country. So I may as well look fab as I'm going down! 

Asshole of the Day

TSA holiday pleas? Oh, please

At TSA News, a civil liberties watchdog site I run, we often call your attention not only to news reports but to other blogs and websites that discuss the TSA. Consumer Traveler is one of them. 

Freak, thanks to my friend litbrit

Thanks to my great friend litbrit. And she says that the generator, if you want to make your own, is here.

Thanksgiving air travel expands, or why we'll never get rid of the TSA

I know I sound like a broken record. That's why, as the years have gone by, I'm writing less and less about the TSA. Because I increasingly see it as pointless. And judging by the activity of our other writers here at TSA News, I'm not alone.

A quote for the ages, courtesy of author and raconteur Clive James:

"There is enough of heaven in a hedgerow, and enough of hell in the perfidy of man."

Sadly, Clive James is dying. But he faces his end with the grace, wit, and equanimity he has brought to so much of his writing through the years. What a wonderful legacy.

And you call yourselves . . . ?

More Shock: Another Athlete Thug? Heaven Forfend!

So we have word of yet another athlete in the ranks of the habitually criminal college and professional football leagues. Gee, hard to believe. Who wouldathunkit?!

More Overprivileged, Idiot Athletes? I'm Shocked, Shocked, I Say!

These administrators are nauseating: 

Carol Folt, the university chancellor, with Tom Ross, the university president. She said the fake classes thrived for so long because it was hard for people to fathom that they could even exist.

Really? Really?? Gee, that's funny, because I've known about them since I was in high school, and that was 40 years ago. 

Obamabots on Parade: Episode 1,083

Fucking idiots. They will never learn. No wonder this country won't move forward. Copied & pasted from Facebook. Full name of "H" removed to protect his pathetic identity:

TSA and DHS, making a list, checking it twice

We've only been saying it for years.

In the United States of Homeland, the government keeps lists. Lists of "good guys" and "bad guys." We aren't allowed to know who's on those lists, how they got on, why they got on, if they're on in error, or how they can get off. If they're even on, which they're not allowed to know. 

Americans and Their Hypocrisy Over Football Redux

Amid all the faux outrage over NFL thug Ray Rice, who clocked his then-fiancée-now-wife in an elevator and knocked her out cold, then dragged & kicked her body as if it were a bag of trash, I'm reposting what I wrote back in January, which also links to an op-ed I did in 2003. Not that any of it matters. Fans will always be fans, no matter how many criminals get in the way:

Americans and Their Hypocrisy Over Football

U.S./Middle East Politics Explained (Kinda Sorta)

Wish I could give attribution for this; it was sent to me on email, and it's being posted and reposted all over the blabbosphere. It's pretty great, so I'm joining the fray:

Obama Met Privately With Top Journalists Before ISIS War Speech 

Eternal War, or Reason #167 Why Obama is the Second Coming of George W. Bush

Well, as predicted, Obama is once again striving to prove he's just as clueless, blinkered, and warmongering as his predecessor. It's hard to tell anymore who in the stupidity sweepstakes is winning. 

TSA confiscates (i.e., steals) “F Bomb” Paperweight

As I say so often here at TSA News, you can’t make this stuff up. 

Walking While Black -- As Unsafe As Driving While Black

"I was wrongly arrested, locked up, denied a phone call, denied explanation of charges against me, denied ever being read my rights, denied being able to speak to my lawyer for a lengthy time, and denied being told that my car had been impounded . . .  All because I was mis-indentified as the wrong 'tall, bald head, black male,'" Belk wrote on Facebook. 

DA won’t prosecute fake TSA agent who groped women

Remember the guy who dressed up in a blue shirt, khaki pants, and blue gloves and impersonated a TSA agent in San Francisco last month? He succeeded in leading two victims into a curtained booth and groped at least one of them. Well, we don't know exactly what he did, since he was hidden. We only know that he got away with it, and that if he had been an actual TSA clerk, whatever he did, including sexual molestation, would've been legal. 

Judicial Watch sues TSA/DHS over sexual abuse complaints

This is what it takes to get answers from the TSA and DHS: you have to sue them. And even then you'll be stonewalled.
