Fixed and thanks. I wonder how I missed it!

There's not much more I can add to what John Cole said:

I can’t get over those assholes that shot that man’s pets over a miniscule amount of pot (and more than likely based on faulty information from an informant with whom they cut a deal). I’ve only had Lily 11 months (today!), but I would be out for blood if someone shot her, cop or otherwise. I’d be a helluva lot less rational than that guy was. At the very least there would have been a tasing on that video or another shooting (of me) as I lost my shit all over the place.

And why don’t we get to see pictures of these brave servants to the community? Why aren’t pictures of cops who do this in every newspaper and on every nightly show when it happens? They are obviously tough guys, of course they would want the press! Here’s Butch McCraskin, local member of the SWAT team. He likes football, Nascar, reads Soldier of Fortune, loves no-knock raids, and has tazed a teen-ager and bagged three corgi’s. He drives a big Dodge Ram truck with an NRA sticker to compensate for his tiny penis. Can’t you smell the macho? I wonder what he has cooking?

I’m wondering at what point Americans are finally going to have enough of this shit. They cut pensions slightly to keep the nation from going completely broke in Greece, and they are fire-bombing shit in protest. Here, unless you are a member of the elite you are a third class citizen, subject to any number of abuses to your life, property, and dignity, and no one seems to care or is too preoccupied.

Is Dancing with the Stars on tonight?

*** Update ***

The pit bull these tough guys shot and killed was crated. The corgi they shot survived was loose, but could hardly be considered a threat. This isn’t about law enforcement or safety to officers, this is about terrorizing people.

Not much I can add other than I'd be out for blood if anyone shot either of my dogs too.

I dunno what's broken in America that people feel so resigned about this kind of thing.

I guess it's that whole individualism thing -- it didn't happen to me, just some other poor dumb fuck, why should I care about it? Why should I stick my neck out, he was using illegal drugs! Plus, as we know from Arizona, it's completely okay to violate people's rights if you think they might be doing something illegal, like being here without the right paperwork.

Oh, and Joe Lieberman is talking about stripping citizenship from people who the government thinks might be associated with a terrorist group...

I'm sure this will all be made better when the Republicans take control of congress, because we all know they're serious limited government guys, right?

Intercepted Correspondence Letter from Satan to Pat Robertson:


Dear Pat Robertson,

I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so I'm all over that action.

But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but I'm no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished. Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth -- glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle.

Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Haven't you seen "Crossroads"? Or "Damn Yankees"? If I had a thing going with Haiti, there'd be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox -- that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style.

Nothing against it -- I'm just saying: Not how I roll. You're doing great work, Pat, and I don't want to clip your wings -- just, come on, you're making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. That's working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract.

Best, Satan

Lily Coyle, Minneapolis

One time, I was lost in LA and ended up in South Central. I'm a lily-white, 170lb, clean-cut, 30 year old business professional. Dressed nicely, normal car, respectful demeanor. Nothing threatening about me at all. I approached a police officer at a convenience store to ask him for directions to the 405. I was trying to be respectful and pleasant, and I kind of gave him an, "Aw shucks, could you help me out with directions?" Without thinking, I put my hands in my pockets. The officer quickly postured, turned sideways, placed his hand on his firearm, and briskly asked me to take my hands out of my pockets and keep them in sight. I did, and apologized, and he was nice as can be. He gave me a cup of coffee and directions out of there.

I felt bad for the guy, having seen so much that he just didn't trust people anymore.

I think the video is great satire, and find it humorous based on that. But I also think it's a little unfair. If you're a cop, and you see the worst of people day in and day out, you start assuming the worst. Combine that inherit distrust of people with a rapidly deteriorating situation, and you have an environment where you can make mistakes that cost lives. It's unfortunate, but true.

The real question is, how do we make it better? Better training? Better procedures? I don't know. But the focus should be making things better for the cops and the citizens, not "haha, cops can't tell wallets from guns... stupid pigs."

Lily <3....ok now back to Buffy.

Fixed and thanks.

Neither does it address his wise actions in the Somali pirate situation, saving american lives.

This was a clever song. I couldn't care either way if she stops or continues making her music, though.
