Doodoo rolling in doodoo

With the Dems of the US Congress in hot pursuit of the treasonous imbecile responsible for utterly debasing the office of the US presidency, our interest in current events in the United Stupids is tickled once more. Doodoo gets his soul mate and hatchet man Scotfree Libby’s sentence commuted – as Sen. Patrick Leahy puts it “His silence has been bought and paid for, and he would just take the fifth” if asked to testify by Congress in regard to the Plame investigation.

Will Fitzgerald reveal all that transpired in his interviews with Doodoo and Dirty Dick Cheney? will Doodoo’s former aides testify regardless of his telling invocation of executive privilege and admonishments in the matter of the political firings of federal attorneys?

Whether they do or not, even Blind Freddy should see that in a guilty manic reaction to the relentless exposure of his crooked connivances, Doodoo is running for cover faster than a dealer at a drug bust.

Rodent Wedgie Update

RacismTime for a reassessment of rodential wedgies leading up to the election. Today little Johnny laughably dredged up his old favourite – there are terrorists amongst us, folks, so fear, fear, fear – as he desperately tries to regain popularity the best way he knows how. A late November election is now looking likely – Ratty needs all the time for slime he can manage.

Here’s the updated wedgie list:

  1. The attempt to vilify teachers.
  2. The attempt to win votes by unnecessary condemnation of AIDS victims.
  3. An attempt to reinvigorate “Boatpeoplephobia”.
  4. The attempt to bash unions.
  5. Smear and muckraking, even having the cheek to try to exploit the WA crime and corruption commission prosecutions when he would NEVER implement a CCC at the federal level.
  6. The attempt to blame high interest rates on Labor.
  7. May 2/07 Use of Bill Heffernan to slag off at Julia Gillard for being “deliberately barren” and thus unsuitable for public office – the rodent waits a whole day before expressing support for those requiring an apology from the Heffer.
  8. The attempt to smear Kevvie via his wife Therese Rein.
  9. The attempt to bash unions AGAIN.
  10. Broadband – the cities vs the country
  11. Reignition of aboriginophobia with the military invasion of indigenous peoples’ communities under the guise of helping the children.
  12. Revamping of the old ‘there are terrorists’ amongst us fear campaign.

Have we missed any? Please let us know.

BTW, don’t miss the rubbery rodent skit at she sells sanctuary.

Inherit the Family Jewels

Dirty CIA secrets from the 1970s are now available for download. Get ’em while they’re hot!

My motto is “The truth will always out” as opposed to the CIA’s hypocritical inscription inside the front of their lair “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” Ironically the knowledge of the secret illegal activities revealed in the files may indeed contribute to freeing us – from that dark agent of the United Stupids’ profligate imperial colonialism itself.

The second collection, the CAESAR-POLO-ESAU papers, consists of 147 documents and 11,000 pages of in-depth analysis and research from 1953 to 1973. The CAESAR and POLO papers studied Soviet and Chinese leadership hierarchies, respectively, and the ESAU papers were developed by analysts to inform CIA assessments on Sino-Soviet relations.

Redneck rampage with rodents

Feral news since tamed somewhat from the crazy wild west of the United Stupids – according to the BBC on the 20th:

An angry Texas crowd has beaten and killed a 40-year-old car passenger after a driver injured a young girl near the site of a busy local festival.

Police said the driver of the car had stopped to check on the health of the girl, said to be aged three or four.

But when the passenger got out to see how she was, he was set upon by a group of up to 20 people before being left lying in a car park, police said.

The girl was hit at low speed and was not seriously injured.

The incident took place at the Juneteenth Festival in Austin, Tackysuss. This festival commemorates the freeing of American slaves.

As stunning as the murder were the dismissive comments of the police spokesperson:

“Mr Morales could have been assaulted by two to 20 folks,” said Harold Piatt, from the Austin police department.

“It’s that same crowd mindset of being one face in 1,000. Things get out of hand pretty quickly and people don’t have the good sense to stop.”

The Austin Police Department backpedalled a day later with this story, attempting to dissociate the festival with the murder and blaming themselves for release of exaggerated information.

Morales was murdered Tuesday as Juneteenth festivities were winding down.

He was beaten by men in the parking lot of Booker T. Washington Terrace.

Police first said thousands were in the area, and six to 23 people attacked Morales.

APD then said those numbers didn’t add up, adding officers initially released “bad information.”

“We are looking for three or four people responsible for this tragic assault,” said city Assistant Manager Michael McDonald.

Apparently amongst 3 or 4 local yokels, the southern lynch mob mentality still flourishes. An insidious culture of violence also appears to permeate the APD.

8 days since the attack, no arrests have been made. Is this a case of dem good ole tacky boys sticking together?

Austin hit the news again a couple of days later when an old story about a 9 years old girl found living amongst rodents in a ‘haunted’ house was exhumed by the necrophilic US media.

In late 1994, and again in January 1995, phone calls were made to the Austin division of Child Protective Services. A young CPS worker responded to the complaints and spoke to the Barrs at their house. The worker left without giving a report to his seniors or outlining a safety plan. But in October 1995, a third report of “unlivable” conditions at the house was made to CPS.

According to a neighbor, rats were “living in a nest on the front porch” and “climbing up the screen door.” Those eerie moaning noises that echoed through the streets were still being heard several times a week.

CPS dispatched a second worker to follow up. After making an initial visit, the worker documented concerns about the safety conditions in the home and wrote a brief safety plan for the Barrs. After the worker said that CPS would follow up and make additional home visits, the worker left. For the next two years, the Barrs remained in the home, undisturbed by CPS and their neighbors.

In October of 1997, a fourth call complaining about the living conditions at the house was placed to CPS, and a worker once again responded. And a child who few knew existed was finally removed from the home. This “wild child” had never gone to school, or played outdoors. The girl was a 9-year-old named Victoria.

Was the lack of intervention by authorities culturally determined and an example of the United Stupids’ rightard siege mentality? Dem good ole tacky boys in the gun lovin’ polite south do like to keep to themselves.

Nice, family friendly stuff

G rating

Beyond the Fringe oddly gains a G rating from the latest purulent meme fad oozing through the blogoswamp. Hear that, all you nauseatingly prim rightists and other-people’s-privates-fondling religious weirdos?

As for us, we’ll just have to try harder.
