What the hell kind of ridiculous, race baiting, near slanderous, BS commercial for a racist's book was that?!?
Really, 'black mob violence' doesn't get much worse than that? I didn't see any chains attaching him to a pickup truck and dragging him to death. I didn't see him doused with gas and lit on fire. I didn't see him strung up from the nearest tree. If that's the limit of 'black mob violence', they have one hell of a long way to go to reach 'white mob violence' level. They aren't in the same league. I note they didn't explain events at all, and I note that BK conflates them with Black Lives Matter...but why?
Conflating a gang of thugs with the First Lady's speech about racism is about as infantile and disingenuous as it gets.
Happy to downvote this racist propaganda.

We need to support those scientists who are trying to create a synthetic dog nose. That way there's no training, there's a device that has a read out of molecules it actually detected (when properly used and maintained).
Dogs want to please the master, and can easily tell the master is pleased when they 'alert', giving total incentive for them to false 'alert' so dad is happy (and dad gets happy and dog gets reward BEFORE the alert is verified, reinforcing the bad 'alerts' along with the good).
Dogs' 'alerts' should NEVER be allowed in court, they're far worse than lie detectors.

People who are depressed know how to get happy because they've done it several times in their lives. They just can't stay happy.

Hey man, funerals are only 'somber' events (except in Nawlins') because peeps are so attached to the planet and afraid of the unknown.

I want performing animals, blasting live music, and a massive food spread at my funeral-Get happy babies, yer still suckin'-air!!

Ya really think Nappin' Nelson gives a rats-ass who's on their phone??
Nice touch with the bluegrass-noodling music

Get * Happy in there, "I'm going to give you a high five!"

It's not in my nature to fault someone for being an ol' softy, so I can't begrudge your desire not to take a victory lap. I, however, will rejoice once I see the Hammer frog marched to the slammer. Thus always to the corrupt. He brought it all on himself, so good riddance. Besides, there's a line forming to fill his dirty shoes in Congress, so it was time for him to let the The Next Generation take his place. We don't need another fat Captain Kirk, do we?

I agree with everything you said except the part about no sympathy. It's just how I'm wired. I have no sympathy for people who do something awful, escape justice, and then find some other hardship in life. But people who do wrong, and meet justice for their actions, I feel sympathy and pity for. I can't get happy about it -- I feel more sadness and some relief than elation.

I'm sure a 2 minute visit with him in prison would cure it, but still, I'm not big on doing a victory dance when justice is served.

As far as crime and punishment is concerned I'm also a liberal:

- Our drug policy is an abomination, and mandatory minimum sentencing is outrageous. It's the main reason the U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world.
- Three strikes laws should be eliminated
- The death penalty is barbaric
- Our criminal justice system is still racist. Black men and other persons of color are convicted at higher rates, and are more likely to be incarcerated and receive longer sentences than white dudes that commit the same crimes.

HOWEVER, I have NO sympathy for any type of public official who betrays the trust of the people he is supposed to serve. That goes not just for politicians, but judges, prosecutors, and cops too. One of surest ways to to bring about the downfall of a society is to have dirty public officials running the show. And I'm not partisan about this. If DeLay were a Democrat, independent, socialist, Green, or what have you, I'd feel the same way about him.

The only thing I don't want to happen to the guy is for him to get raped or otherwise harmed while he's in prison, but then I feel the same way about everyone in prison. Prison shouldn't automatically mean rape, beatings, and the possibility of homicide, but when you have prison overcrowding because of harsh sentencing laws, it's hard for guards to ensure the safety of all inmates. And let's not forgot that it's mostly Republicans like DeLay who have been the authors of all the tough-on-crime legislation in the first place.

So DeLay got what he deserved. Also Republicans like him (and many Democrats) have never served the interests of the people, but of their corporate masters. These corporate assholes in turn fucked up the economy through fraud and other criminal behavior. Many, many people have lost their jobs or their life savings or both because of this shit. They have created misery on an enormous scale. They are criminals as well who also deserve to go to prison. Madoff is just the tip of the iceberg. Thousands more need to be sent to the clink, because Madoff and other people like him didn't do this shit all by themselves.

Those are the people that Tom DeLay served. I hope he receives the maximum sentence. Not a drop from my bleeding heart will be shed for him.

I did hear about that. I'm one of these seriously bleeding-heart liberal types. Now that he's going to jail, I feel sorry for him.

Still, it's good to see that parts of our justice system still work.

>> ^EMPIRE:

that was so adorable, I just got diabetes.

You should check your blood sugar, check it often.

C'mon, get happy.

Where's my canucks link, yo?

It's happened a few times I clink a TDS or Colbert link and get sad, scroll right down and get happy!

This time, scrolled down... still sad

What are y'all gonna do - ban people who stir up the anger in you and them blame them for ending up with a pissed-off echo chamber called Videosift? There are already sites like that. Why go there? Choggie doesn't get to decide if you're upset today or not. If it were up to me, I'd bring back him under his old account, but that wasn't one of the choices. So, I voted to bring him back under a new account.

He obviously loves all of our little pointed heads and can't stay away. Isn't that amends enough?
I guess for some . . . no. Maybe you ought to read some of Swampgirl's post again.

And like Wilford Brimley says, "Forget your troubles, c'mon get happy!"
