Nanny State: One regulation away from total bliss          The Police State                “ When you let Hitler drive, he can take you wherever the hell he wants. States Move to Tax Miles Driven With Black Boxes In Cars As America’s road planners struggle to find the cash to mend a crumbling highway system, many are beginning to see a solution in a little black box that fits neatly by the dashboard of your car. The devices, which track every mile a motorist drives and transmit that information to bureaucrats, are at the center of a controversial attempt in Washington and state planning offices to overhaul the outdated system for funding America’s major roads. The usually dull arena of highway planning has suddenly spawned intense debate and colorful alliances. Libertarians have joined environmental groups in lobbying to allow government to use the little boxes to keep track of the miles you drive, and possibly where you drive them — (as long as dope is legalized?) another clue Watson ... ”

Mail Call

On one hand, we have an employee that has been publicly chastised, and will be disciplined by his employer for providing assistance to local police - which violates company policy: http://www.theolympian.com/2011/07/10/1719209/photographer-will-face-discipline.html On the other hand, a man is in jail - charged with a dozen child molestation counts. Since he is acting as his own lawyer, he gets to review evidence against him. Including the more than 100 child pornography videos seized from his computer: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2015591611_apwachildpornjail.html Private company policy can be harsh, but the law is always an ass. sTU pID

Sign Crime

Group of deaf, mute friends stabbed at bar after thug mistakes sign language for gang signs

“ A group of deaf friends were stabbed at a bar in Florida after a woman mistook their sign language for gang signs. The group's signing caught the eye of 45-year-old gang-banger Barbara Lee. She thought the group was throwing gang signs at her, and responded by flashing gang signs back at them, cops said. The group motioned for her to leave them alone. Lee left the bar but returned with two members of her crew ... begin stabbing. I used to watch (but, can't stomach anymore) the gang and prison shows on the Hitler Channels.  You've seen them.  Prison gangsta talks about the sanctity of his gang tattoo, and how anyone who has one that's unauthorized has to be killed.  Because, dammit, is disrespectful! They work damn hard to earn the right to wear that badge of honor - like, e.g. killing a rival gang member.  So I'm thinking, okay, this is easy.  Go to all the prisons - especially in California, and check inmate tats.  If they wear one of those gang signs, bingo.  Prima facie. An admission of murder.  Take them down to the green chamber for summary justice. Wap-Wap.  This trash, too.  Everybody agrees with me too.  And the verdict is... zipppppppppppp!

“ The website and personal credit card information of former Gov. Sarah Palin were cyber-attacked today by Wikileaks supporters, the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate tells ABC News in an email. Hackers in London that the Palin team believe to be affiliated with “Operation Payback” – a group of supporters of Julian Assange and Wikileaks – have tried to shut down SarahPac and have disrupted Sarah and Todd Palin’s personal credit card accounts, SarahPAC aide Rebecca Mansour said. Sarah Palin Under Cyber-Attack from Wikileaks Supporters in 'Operation Payback'* A few comments from the ABC site.

While unlike our RINos the left knows who the real leader is. I don’t see MittPac coming under sustained attack…. Why isn’t anybody going after Mike Huckabee’s credit card information? ^ Posted by: idesign | Dec 8, 2010 10:11:18 PM Good observation.  She probably made this up so the right wing blogs would stop talking about how you could tell from this week's show she's lied about being able to hunt. ^ Posted by: secondlook | Dec 8, 2010 10:08:40 PM she's lied about being able to hunt.???  I have no idea what this guy is referring to. She did miss her first 5-6 shots at a caribou,  from what looks like a few  hundred yards.  After changing rifles she dropped it & bet her dad $5 that her scope was not "dead on."  Later testing confirmed, and he paid her the $5. My guess is this jerkoff  secondlook never  firstlooked at the episode.  I missed the "right wing" blog patter.that convinced him of her calumny.  Maybe he'll read this rightwing blog and quote my Authoritah! on the matter.   Don't matter. There was a nice bumper sticker moment - VEGETARIAN Inuit translation  for  "lousy hunter" Here's what I'm thinking about all of this.  If Euro trash like Assange can do what he's done, even targeting the credit card and bank accounts of his ideological enemies, think what the Chicoms can do.  And how thrilling is it to know that,  thanks entirely to the Democrats,  your most personal information is available on-line to them, and any pimple faced nerd with a few hours and a yen? Finally -  lots of whining about the "trumped up" rape charges the Swiss used to get Assange arrested.  You're kidding?  What did we use to finally nail Al Capone?  A smoking Tommy Gun?  Nope, Income tax evasion.  What did we use to get Bill Clinton?  A hidden rape tape?  No, Perjury.   We take out the bad guys everyday this way.  Assange is a threat to the United States, so whatever it takes.  Water board him, then drop a toaster into his the tub. Then go after his accomplices.  Quietly.  Very Quietly.  You know what I mean, and you know I'm right.

True Crime

Despite 30 years of practice, Nathan Wayne Pugh still hasn't quite gotten the whole crime thing down.

“   The teller, who police said was a recent hire, remained calm. She told Pugh she would need his identification in order to give him any money. He pulled out his Wells Fargo debit card and handed it to her. "How much would you like back?" she asked. "Two thousand," he said. The teller told him that, to get that much money, he would need to show her a second form of identification. Pugh then gave her a state of Texas ID card, bearing his name. ”
