Friday, May 9. 2008Fort Worth Texas Wife gets 5 years for Husband's CrimeIn Fort Worth, Texas [you know this just has to be a Texas story] Darrell Robertson found his wife in a pickup truck [you know it had to be a pickup truck] in the arms of another man. His wife Tracy Robertson noticing that her husband was witnessing her moment of passion screamed "rape!". Darrell got his gun and that was the end of Mr. LaSalle. Or course a Texas jury [like any Texas jury] refused to indict Robertson because he had a Shoot Whoever You Want Card. This is the invisibile but very real card that states Texans can shoot whoever they please if they step onto their property, The Texas Castle Law. With the Joe Horn case pending without a long overdue indictment, it would seem that the Castle Law has been extended to our neighbor's property. The card also allows Texans to shoot people hugging their wives, as in this case in which the state decided to indict his wife for her dishonest shout. She was sentenced today to 5 years and can get out on probation in 2 years. To make this Texas story even sweeter is this quote by husband Darrell Robertson to the press. "When I heard my wife sream and saw LaSalle trying to drive off from the scene, I had no choice but to do what I did, If I had to do it over, I'd do it again."So there you have it. Here in Texas we have no choice but to shoot men hugging our wifes. Keep that in mind all you Yankees.

HomeFriday, May 9. 2008Facebook Censorship in All States but Texas![]() Facebook announced today that it would adhere to an agreement with all State's Attorney General offices - except Texas - to add software that protects minors from sexual predators. This mostly concerns all Facebook members to have their true ages presented within the Facebook system. This is yet another nibbling away at our online privacy but it's a small one, after all, our ages cannot be used for too many awful things. Facebook Censorship in All States but Texas So what's with Texas? Well, I have a theory, here is a fly on the wall when this came up in Austin during the legislative debate. It says, "Facebook will adequately protect younger users until an age identification system is effectively developed and implemented." Does it say anything about our guns? Not specifically. What specifically does it not say about our guns? Well it also says that it will restrict searches by users 18 and over to prevent them seeking out minors, immediately sever links to pornographic sites, and remove content that is deemed inappropriate. There ya go! Buying, selling, using and loving guns online will be deemed inappropriate by all the bleeding heart Yankees. There is no doubt this would deny our children the sport and joy that comes from shooting someone in the back who steps onto our property or hugs our wives! It is big government taking over Texas. Hear! Here! The vote in the House was 123 to 1 against the agreement. The 1 has not been seen since the vote was taken in early January. Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article | Kick!

Home Friday, May 9. 2008Texas Conceal Carry Applications up 39 percentThe Texas Department of Public Safety has been swamped with a 39% increase in concealed carry permits for April compared to the same month last year. Processing has already been extended to 90 days rather than 60 days in previous years, there is a 45 minute wait on the phone and DPS is hiring to keep up with the demand. The various news articles tell us no one knows why this is. Well I know why! It wasn't until April that Texans realized that a Black guy was going to be the next President of the United States. As this in not about sales only a very little of it can be blamed on the conspiracy theory that they need to stock up before the Democrats take everyone's gun away. But talking to any Republican in Texas privately it's a no brainer that it's about what will happen next year if Barack Obama wins. I am sure video subscriptions will soon be available for only $9.95. Negroes Gone Wild! Texas Conceal Carry Applications up 39 percent While some of you may wonder how many James Earl Rays' there may be left in this no longer racist nation of ours, here in Texas I wonder how many there are on my street.

First let's just consider extending the crack down at this one school to what police do in African American neighborhoods. This is just one on campus cabal, there are likely dozens more. With each supplying many hundreds of students who support their use by selling down the line, trafficking, felony, hard time. Next let's extrapolate that to all 5000 colleges in America. Are you with me here? Because as I write I am not clear exactly where this is going. For the police it sure would be a cakewalk going from fraternity house, to sorority house, to dorm to off campus housing all in a small area filled with mostly unarmed street-dumb kids. And for the police, searching college girls is like living a Girls Gone Wild video. Think of what a boon it would be to trial lawyers! Expensive trial lawyers all the parents would hire. But even with that and our draconian drug laws we would have 100,000s of white college students going to school at Attica, Folsom and what have you, joining the 2 million predominantly black and Hispanics in our prison system now. What would that do? Would it just be fodder for the old hats to have new people to beat and rape? Or would this leveling out and proximity to the more educated class create more desire and motivation upon those already there to grab hold of the American Dream. I also wonder if like dorms these days, would prisons go coed? This could be something that needs doing! It's easy pickings for the police with far less danger than going down to the 4th ward, it would generate revenues with perhaps millions of new arrests and fines, create more middle class jobs for those not in jail, and reduce the recidivism rate as today's prisoners then reach for that American Dream. Let's get started! First off, Harvard and Yale. Best practice the process at a few smaller private colleges before tackling UCLA where the logistics would require many thousands of buses and heaven only knows how many new orange jumpsuits.

Before Jay's mother Tammy died of cancer last year, she had become a Christian voice in support of gay men and women and also active in Soulforce, the Christian gay organization. Jay who plays in a punk rock band and is covered in tatoos tattoos has committed his ministry to ridding America of the concept of US and THEM. After Lakewood spokesman Donald Ilof explained Pastor Osteen was too busy writing his Sunday Sermon he added, "If we met to talk, would this group be satisfied if we agreed to disagree? Soulforce wants to use Lakewood to further their agenda." Oh no! Not someone with an agenda! Of course Osteen and every other preacher would never stoop so low as to have an agenda!

A recent Houston poll by Rice University showed that the overall angst
directed at Mexican immigration has risen by 50% since 2004. In almost perfect correlation to the economic crisis caused by the Republican
Bush Administration. The same historic scapegoating that has been going for eons, placing the blame upon the least of us who are also the least responsible rather than where it belongs, upon those in charge. It would seem that those in charge are the ones who get it all going. Rice University Immigration Survey
This is a local town meeting held for PBS here in Houston on May 26th, 2008. For the full hour go to Houston PBS Have Your Say Play this while you read This issue has been much discussed here by the Houston Chronicle and the Houston PBS station. Both of which show that most all the angst directed at Hispanics is driven by the same old crowd, what Arianna Huffington in her new book calls the Lunatic Fringe but is really just The Republican Base. It is primarily made up of Right-wing radio talk show hosts, conservative preachers, and racist organizations like the Minutemen and other vigilante border patrol groups. With the Klan politically incorrect of late, old members have found new groups to join under a the more conservatively correct banner of Nativist rather than the old unfair word Racist. If you have been watching cable news of late, you know that there are no white racists in America anymore, all the racists are African American now.
In the video you will see recently elected State Senator Dan Patrick who is Houston's loudest voice on the matter. Patrick is a hardcore evangelical fundamentalist Christian who for many years was the owner of Houston's premier Right Wing talk radio station and the lead in host before Rush Limbaugh. Patrick is so far out on the lunatic fringe that he once called for the executions of both President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton over some crazyass conspiracy theory. He contended that the first couple had started wild fires in New Mexico to cover up sending hard drives full of nuclear bomb information to the Chinese Communists. Treason! Execution! No lie! Patrick is an example of what drives this kind of low ball xenophobic crap which is at the core of the anti-immigration fervor at play these days.

Mccain Vs. Mccain He seems to think he can magically unite the two main strands in the foreign-policy establishment. He can't. Fareed Zakaria NEWSWEEK Apr 26, 2008 Amid the din of the dueling democrats, people seem to have forgotten about that other guy in the presidential race—you know, John McCain. McCain is said to be benefiting from this politically because his rivals are tearing each other apart. In fact, few people are paying much attention to what the Republican nominee is saying, or subjecting it to any serious scrutiny. On March 26, McCain gave a speech on foreign policy in Los Angeles that was billed as his most comprehensive statement on the subject. It contained within it the most radical idea put forward by a major candidate for the presidency in 25 years. Yet almost no one noticed. In his speech McCain proposed that the United States expel Russia from the G8, the group of advanced industrial countries. Moscow was included in this body in the 1990s to recognize and reward it for peacefully ending the cold war on Western terms, dismantling the Soviet empire and withdrawing from large chunks of the old Russian Empire as well. McCain also proposed that the United States should expand the G8 by taking in India and Brazil—but pointedly excluded China from the councils of power. We have spent months debating Barack Obama's suggestion that he might, under some circumstances, meet with Iranians and Venezuelans. It is a sign of what is wrong with the foreign-policy debate that this idea is treated as a revolution in U.S. policy while McCain's proposal has barely registered. What McCain has announced is momentous—that the United States should adopt a policy of active exclusion and hostility toward two major global powers. It would reverse a decades-old bipartisan American policy of integrating these two countries into the global order, a policy that began under Richard Nixon (with Beijing) and continued under Ronald Reagan (with Moscow). It is a policy that would alienate many countries in Europe and Asia who would see it as an attempt by Washington to begin a new cold war. I write this with sadness because I greatly admire John McCain, a man of intelligence, honor and enormous personal and political courage. I also agree with much of what else he said in that speech in Los Angeles. But in recent years, McCain has turned into a foreign-policy schizophrenic, alternating between neoconservative posturing and realist common sense. His speech reads like it was written by two very different people, each one given an allotment of a few paragraphs on every topic. The neoconservative vision within the speech is essentially an affirmation of ideology. Not only does it declare war on Russia and China, it places the United States in active opposition to all nondemocracies. It proposes a League of Democracies, which would presumably play the role that the United Nations now does, except that all nondemocracies would be cast outside the pale. The approach lacks any strategic framework. What would be the gain from so alienating two great powers? How would the League of Democracies fight terrorism while excluding countries like Jordan, Morocco, Egypt and Singapore? What would be the gain to the average American to lessen our influence with Saudi Arabia, the central banker of oil, in a world in which we are still crucially dependent on that energy source? The single most important security problem that the United States faces is securing loose nuclear materials. A terrorist group can pose an existential threat to the global order only by getting hold of such material. We also have an interest in stopping proliferation, particularly by rogue regimes like Iran and North Korea. To achieve both of these core objectives—which would make American safe and the world more secure—we need Russian cooperation. How fulsome is that likely to be if we gratuitously initiate hostilities with Moscow? Dissing dictators might make for a stirring speech, but ordinary Americans will have to live with the complications after the applause dies down. To reorder the G8 without China would be particularly bizarre. The G8 was created to help coordinate problems of the emerging global economy. Every day these problems multiply—involving trade, pollution, currencies—and are in greater need of coordination. To have a body that attempts to do this but excludes the world's second largest economy is to condemn it to failure and irrelevance. International groups are not cheerleading bodies but exist to help solve pressing global crises. Excluding countries won't make the problems go away. McCain appears to think that he can magically unite the two main strands in the Republican foreign-policy establishment. But he can't. This is not about personalities but about two philosophically divergent views of international affairs. Put together, they will produce infighting and incoherence. We have seen this movie before. We have watched an American president unable to choose between his ideologically driven vice president and his pragmatic secretary of State—and the result was the catastrophe of George W. Bush's first term. Twenty-five years earlier, we watched another president who believed that he could encompass the entire spectrum of foreign policy. He, too, gave speeches that were drafted by advisers with divergent world views: in that case, Cyrus Vance and Zbigniew Brzezinski. It led to the paralyzing internal battles of the Carter years. Does John McCain want to try this experiment one more time? Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article | Kick!

Monday, April 28. 2008Rev Jeremah Wright National Press Club Speech Video April 28, 2008
Rev. Jeremiah Wright gained much applause and a few standing ovations this morning speaking at the National Press Club to an appreciably Black audience. He served out a few zingers for the supportive crowd which is in Washington for a two day black church symposium. "I served six years in the military. Does that make me patriotic? How many years did Cheney serve?" Said Reverend Very Right "My goddaughter's unit just arrived in Iraq this week while those who call me unpatriotic have used their positions of privilege to avoid military service while sending over 4,000 American boys and girls to die over a lie." Said Reverend Very Right A few video clips of the speech... But his central theme was that it is not he who is being vilified by the media, but the African American Church. Said Reverend Very Right "The most recent attack on the black church -- it is not an attack on Jeremiah Wright -- it's an attack on the black church, just might mean that the reality of the African-American church will no longer be invisible." NYTs - Wright says criticism is attack on black church Geraldine Ferraro and Bill Clinton have spoken the truth to race concerning the politics of the Democratic Primaries and are also Very Right. Rev Wright has rightly dissed the media, which as Hillary Clinton has learned, no good can come from. All that will come from his recent televised appearances on Bill Moyers, the NAACP and the National Press Club will be on the one hand a further saturation of his divisive video clips by the media, and on the other, complaints that putting himself out front will further saturate the air with his divisive video clips from the media. Speaking of being Right, Adlai Stevenson was right, Hubert Humphrey was right, George McGovern was right, Jimmy Carter was right, Walter Mondale was right, Michael Dukkasis was right, Al Gore was right and so was John Kerry. Looking back further Jesus Christ was right, Gandhi was right, JFK, RFK and MLK were right. Being right mostly gets you a little sticky gold star and a kick in the head...
