Police Brutality: Cops Punt Man In The Head, Then High-Five (VIDEO)

Black folks and Hispanics have been warning the nation of police brutality (and Airport Security) for a long time, now it's come to the point that if you look like something they don't like, they will either cause bodily harm or death with nothing much but a slap on the wrist as a punishment. Don't speed, spit, or flick anything in public or you'll get your ass whooped.

Rick Santelli's Tea Party & what it means to me...

You know, I watched this video of Rick Santelli after watching Mark Haines blow his fuse over the White House plan to help people that made mistakes, stupid boneheaded mistakes... I agree that if you break it you should buy it. This seems a little too late for that, especially when the ones who are bitching about the "bailout", "socialism we can believe in", "moral hazard" benefited greatly when they took advantage of the "idiots", "low lives", "trash", and "losers". They don't want to be responsible for the rigged game that they help create, executed, and profited from.

No shame. Just none. I think they would be content when those so called "losers" start throwing out current tenants. I guess he would be content if neighborhoods turned into large barren and dangerous ghettos/hoods where crime will become the standard of living. From, this, I guess, if you screwed up, go to hell. Or maybe he lives in a gated community; locked in his own life raft.

But, boy will they start to bitch, when their home values fall through the frigging floor. Boy will they bitch when their bank has to shut it's door to them when they get laid off. Boy will they bitch when the state gov't has to shut down the school, downsize teaching staff, close police offices, fire departments, cut funding to highways, close libraries (once again), raises taxes or shut down public access utilities (water, road repairs, sewage, street lighting,etc) because of the lack of property tax revenue for decreased home values and increased foreclosures. California was just one vote away from exactly that, and they're the richest state in the US!

It's funny that the drunk drivers of this car wreck of an economy, with their drug (credit) addict passengers in tow, are ready to kick the passengers out of a speeding death trap so they can be proud of the car crash. Once out, surviving only because of their overdose level of alcohol, pointing to their dead passengers as the assailants who crashed the car. Not satisfied with passing the blame and avoiding any responsible, and is belligerent at the thought of accountability, walks over and urinates upon their wrangled bodies and body parts.

"Heres tea in your eye..!

Yes, it's grotesque isn't? Well, that's what this tea party means to me. You can have your Iceland, an eat it too!

I guess I'm just and idiot socialist. So be it.

Mark Haines is Not Happy. Fireworks on CNBC!

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

Mark Haines is angry that moral hazard was not considered. Umm, right.

Okay, it seems that Mark Haines would rather see his neighbors kicked out, or one of his family members booted to the curb (literally) in the name of moral hazard. I find it odd that he would even allow this to dribble out his mouth, moral hazard should have been his issue in 2000. I guess moral hazard only applies to the suckers who took the loans and not the sharks who worked their damnedest to get their bonuses. Or, it must not apply to the fact that our society is based on living outside our means, and not right-minded consumption.

It's little late and irresponsible to run to a church that you helped burn down. Jumping around in the ashes begging for answers from the fire marshals.

Mark Haines, has just joined the ranks of Lou Dobbs. The ranting, grumpy old men club.

P.S.
This sounds like a nascent right-wing talking point in the future. Just keep your ears to the ground. "Grrr... why are we rewarding the irresponsible!"

New York Post Chimp Cartoon Compares Stimulus Author To Dead Primate

Rabid racism from the likes of the Ruppert Murdoch Empire. Say it ain't so! I mean, I am so surprised.



As my parent would say, they're just showing their ass now. It's was a matter time and no effort I guess. I was just waiting... Racism is the disease that will destroy us all. Good grief.

California Prepares To Eliminate 10,000 Jobs Today

I guess when the pitch forks and torches show up outside the legislators house because of a major system failure due to lack of workers and tax revenue, they will run to hike taxes. For now, God forbid paying for service one receives from the state. God forbid helping people in need. God forbid improving the pavement on which one walks. I guess these republicans wants the system to rot and purge the needy to death, kicking folks off the lifeboat. The funny thing is that they are on that life boat too.

The Trillion Dollar Idiot

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

The track record of the last part of TARP was a total failure when it came to the assistance of the American people. As for me, $350 billion is just enough to judge the out come of another $350 billion for same group receiving it. If the source of the credit crisis is the bad mortgages and toxic loans, why are we giving the money to the banks, why aren't we buying them up directly, bypass the idiots who got us here in the first place. Why are we hiring same doctor who made us sick? It's absurd and backwards. To my friends in the United States of America, I say this with the utmost respect of your person... you are being abused. Abused.

My thoughts, as they are-

The thing is that the sources of the dyer warnings about the collapse of the economy, on the condition of no government assistance, are the same asses who boldfaced lied to their shareholders, international partners, and the American and worldwide public about the state of their institution. Now we are suppose to believe them now, and just hand them over an award for such a monumental disaster, that they created? Are they insane?

Has anyone been paying any bit of attention? Iceland, the land of Bjork and Sigurros, has removed their PM, over their bankers (banksters). France is angry as hell (and with Wall Street and London, I might add). Lithuania and Latvia are just as discontent. The Swiss are holding their breath to see how big of losses the are about to have between 2-10,000 layoffs predicted, and $15-20 billion losses for the two of the largest Swiss banks. This financial bird-flu is straining our relationships abroad.

Why? Because the Wall Street know-it-alls sold them the same BS and butter that the American public has been freighten into believing with out a single thought being processed. Now our allies are angry with the U.S. for blowing it on coke, booze, and trash cans?!?!?!

UPDATE:
As I was writing this, this just broke...
The first swiss shoe has fallen with a "resounding thud".
