They told me Bush-Cheney's AmeriKKKa would be a police state, and they were right!

A 40-year-old man walking his dog in the nude Friday night in northwest Tallahassee was Tasered by police when he became belligerent and refused to follow an officer’s commands.

[...]

When asked what he was doing, the man told the officer, “Allah told me to watch a Bruce Willis movie and walk the dog,” McCranie said.

Yes, he's still alive:

Chevy Chase said Monday he wants Tina Fey to go "even harder" on Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin than she did in her "Saturday Night Live" skit this past weekend ... and that he wants Fey to "decimate" her.

"I thought it was extraordinary how well she played her and much she looked like her. I'd just like her — personally I felt we didn't need the Hillary stuff — I'd like her to go even harder," the former "SNL" star told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show.

"I want her to decimate this woman. This woman is, I can't believe there hasn't been more about it. ... It's just unbelievable to me this woman is actually running for vice president," he continued.

He added*,

I want her to do to Palin what rampant drug abuse did to my career.  She needs to portray her as an out-of-touch, arrogant, condescending asshole that alienates all who know her so much that she experiences the true hatred and disdain I experienced at my roast. 

It needs to be made clear what a terrible person Palin is, so terrible that she doesn't have a career, friends or family at the end of a life that could only be called a terrible failure.

He then snorted coke off a hooker's ass, punched his agent in the face and called Jane Curtin a slut to the amusement of noone, as usual.

* - Well, he was thinking it.  I just can't understand how a comedian can miss the point of comedy so much as to imply it should be used to destroy another human being.  What a humorless, dour, pathetic failure of a man.  Sad.

alexthechick is not amused:

Millions of spiders have colonized the HafenCity revitalization of Hamburg's old port district, daily Berliner Morgenpost reported on Monday. Some windows alone are infested with more than 700 creepy crawlers.

The carefully planned district is chock-full of angular modern architecture with plenty of nooks perfect for the larinioides sclopetarius. The spiders seem to like the district so much that they appear to be taking over one of Europe's largest building sites, according to the paper.

“They are the rats of the spider world,” biologist Anja Nioduschewski told the paper. HafenCity is financing the doctoral student's research into the arachnid problem.

The spiders can grow up to four centimetres long and they spin large webs to catch their prey. Nioduschewski is researching whether two different light treatments will scare other insects away, removing the spider's source of food. But so far, neither treatment has worked, she said.

A German man received a fine of €292.92 for smuggling letters for a prisoner.  He paid the fine...in pennies, or whatever the hell one cent pieces are called over there.  The weight of said coinage was about 139 pounds, a local bank counted the coins up, and indeed, the total was exactly €292.92.  The court accepted the payment because shipping the coinage back would have been too much.

I won't link directly to Kos, but Jay Tea at Wizbang caught this little nugget from the head of the Nutroots.

And here is the money quote Jay found:

I'm not about to revert to writing puff pieces about Obama thinking that his magic "new politics" bullshit will carry us to victory. He may or may not believe that crap, but I don't. We're going to win this thing the way campaigns are won -- by playing hardball. Politics is a blood sport. Republicans understand this and never flinch from flinging the shit. We won't win until we learn to fight back in kind. And I'm more than happy to get down in the mud with our friends on the Right so Obama doesn't have to.

Well, considering that many of The Deciders already participate at Kos, either overtly (Olbermann), or under user names, I find it ironic the Mediacrats believe their coordination on slime pieces isn't having its desired impact yet.

Palin isn't ready blah, blah, blah,

Sarah Palin has many virtues. If you wanted someone to destroy a corrupt establishment, she’d be your woman.

Looks as though some ladies in Britain went in to receive treatment for hair loss and received a little something extra from the doctor for their efforts.

Ms Franklin, of Windsor, Berkshire, said: 'He began to massage my shoulders and slowly his hand crept down until he had a full hold of my breast. Then he ripped off his coat and stripped naked.

'He pushed my face into his genitals and made a disgusting comment about seeking satisfaction,' she said.

'I was terrified but I knew I couldn't confront him because the door was locked, there was no one around.'

When Ms Franklin tried to escape, she said Mankoo grabbed her face and tried to drag her head down.

'There was a point where I thought he was going to strangle me because he had his hands around my throat.'

He finally let Ms Franklin go, but the ordeal was not quite over.

As she hurriedly put her clothes back and made for the exit, Mankoo asked for payment, and said she needed to be booked in for another appointment.

'I couldn't believe it, but I nonchalantly paid up as though it was the most normal thing in the world.'

Ms Franklin said when Mankoo was cautioned by police 10 years ago, she thought it would be the end of it.

'I couldn't believe it when I heard that he had continued to prey on innocent clients.

'Looking back I wish I had spoken publicly about it when it happened and maybe he could have been stopped earlier.'

The court heard that Mankoo of Thame, Berkshire, would tell women to strip to their underwear to avoid getting massage oil on their clothes.

He would then rub their scalp, neck and shoulders, and reach around to touch their breasts.

One woman told how Mankoo had removed her bra and also massaged her thighs and feet.

Keeping her eyes tightly shut during the experience, out of fear, she opened them to see Mankoo dressed only in his boxer shorts.

Another woman said he had told her that her boyfriend could not help her and that he would be her 'knight in shining armour', to whom she should look to for strength.

Mankoo asked another victim if she would like to meet his 'little friend'.

The victim told the court that she even resorted to telling Mankoo she had been sexually abused as a child to try and fend off his advances.

Yup. I would rather wear a rug or a hat than have to endure shit like that.

Let's play a little game, shall we? I'm going to redact a certain word from this part of a story that appeared in the UK's Telegraph. See if you can guess what the word is.  This will be fun!

"According to _______ law, the mouse is a repulsive, corrupting creature. How do you think children view mice today – after Tom and Jerry?

"Even creatures that are repulsive by nature, by logic, and according to _______ law have become wonderful and are loved by children. Even mice.

"Mickey Mouse has become an awesome character, even though according to _______ law, Mickey Mouse should be killed in all cases."

I'll give you three guesses about what I gave the ol' snippety-snip to, and the first two don't count.

...or not, as Ace says, we'll let you sink, along with all the sellouts who are supporting this.  We're loyal to Gov. Palin, not you, Senator.

If I read this latest Obama campaign fundraising email correctly, having Karl Rove come out and criticize the GOP candidate's ads is a play right out of the Bush-Rove playbook.

Oh, and it's probably cynical.

Or a distraction. 

Or something.

Who knew the Greenest. Convention. Ever. would be such a spectacular failure?

Results of a program using Aspen’s Canary Initiative to sell carbon offset credits to Democratic National Convention attendees are a little underwhelming.

The program, set up by the DNC Host Committee through the Denver Convention and Visitors Bureau and rolled out about a week before the convention started, raised a total of $18.34 worth of Canary Tags, offsetting 0.9 tons of carbon emissions.

Dude, how the fuck does Obama even remotely begin to struggle in New friggin' York?  Can this even be right?  Is the Obama campaign going to implode?  If Obama has to actually start spending money to keep New York, of all places, he's gotta be done short of some major disaster for the McCain campaign.

Sorry to hijack the blog like this*, but must find the full version of this song:



I loves me some Cat Power, and I loves me some David Bowie.  This song doesn't seem to be on iTunes and I've got all of Cat Power's albums....a little help?

*Actually I'm not.  Not one bit.

Here's a bit of rather literal lefty hero worship for you.  The propaganda build-up of this guy crossed over into the ridiculous quite a while ago.  Anyway, I can't say I'm surprised that Alex Ross would create something like that, seeing as how he's the one who brought us this charming graphical representation of BDS:
