It's not just me.
I'm not alone in wondering what the fuck.

These fucking cops mistook 2 asian ladies in a different car than dorners for dorner, now they casually decide they are gonna burn down someones cabin that is not their own. YOU CANNOT FUCKING DO THAT. They dont have a positive ID on the suspect, and these fucking cops assume its OK to act like this, and there are people that think its ok. Its not. Cops are our Civil Servants not the fucking Gestapo doing whatever they want at will cause a few of theirs got killed and exposed.

Yeah enough is enough god damnit. The entire American population is being taken for a bunch of fucking idiots. This is what tactics your government is reverting to people. Instead of helping you keep your house, educating your children, or start to fix the economy they are roasting people alive without due process and trying to take your guns. Wake the fuck up. It's only going to get worse. Don't be a fool.

Just wondering, where you this upset when Janet Reno and Bill Clinton ordered the compounded with 27 children in be burned to the ground.
They never murdered anyone, and were burned alive.

Are you talking about Waco? Or however it's spelled. If so, then yes because it was an atrocity.

One of America's "Most Urgent Traffic Safety Issues"
To contact us Click HERE
I'm not popular when I suggest to people that cell phone talking should be banned altogether.
And I do understand that when you're sitting in traffic and things aren't moving, you sort of want to reach out to someone and not be alone.
However----at high speeds, it should definitely be banned. I have absolutely no question in my mind about that----based on 18 years of traffic reporting and over two decades of driving, much of that in L.A.

National Safety Council President & CEO Janet Froetscher identified cell phone use while driving as one of America’s most urgent traffic safety issues. In January the NSC became the first national organization to call for a total ban on that activity, based on scientific estimates that cell phone use while driving contributes to 6 percent of crashes, or 636,000 crashes, 330,000 injuries, 12,000 serious injuries, and 2,600 deaths each year. The same research put the annual financial toll of cell phone-related crashes at $43 billion.
“Our nation has reached a point where we estimate more than 100 million people are engaging in this dangerous behavior daily,” Froetscher said, adding that the issue is not the type of phone a driver uses, rather it is the distraction caused by the conversation. “Hands-free devices do not make cell phones any safer. Several studies indicate that the principle risk is the cognitive distraction. Studies also show that driving while talking on a cell phone is extremely dangerous and puts drivers at a four-times greater crash risk.”

Celebrating Bradley Manning

There's a gathering in L.A. this weekend to honor Brad Manning, who's been incarcerated for over a thousand days now.
The person who is holding it described it as a "celebration", which annoyed one reader:

Mike,
You are foolish to criticize an event which seeks to gather together like minded people in support of Bradley Manning and promoting transparency. Activism takes many forms — mutual support is one of them and a very positive one at that. Please do not tear others down just because you favor a different way; attacking others who seek to do what they can in their own way does not serve the interests of a movement.
To the host of this gathering:
Please do not allow such a foolish comment discourage your efforts.

Celebrate means to honor, and Bradley Manning deserves that. All good wishes for your gathering to enlighten and educate people about his kind of bravery. I cannot attend, but we will have signs at our weekly vigil on Pico and La Cienega on Friday.
I commented:
I look at it this way. Until I learned about Bradley Manning, I felt deeply depressed and disillusioned with the military and the wars they are fighting.
I have a brother in the military who will not talk to me (possibly because I support Bradley Manning) and a family who may actually believe that I am wrong to stand for peace. They apparently do not believe peace is patriotic or perhaps they believe my position demeans or disregards my brother somehow, which I do not want to do. I can do nothing, say nothing to them; I can’t find the words. In fact I can’t really even find words to write about it here. There’s nothing but heartbreak there, and if Brad Manning actually did what he’s accused of doing–leaking the Apache helicopter video–then I do regard him as a hero and any recognition of him, and of journalism as it must be practiced in extreme times, feels like a celebration.
A while back I stood on the corner in front of the British Consulate in Westwood with a bunch of young people who were holding a little rally for Brad Manning. It was nighttime and no one even noticed them. But just seeing that people cared enough to come out made a big difference for me. It gave me hope that some of the madness might somehow be mitigated. In my everyday life I see no one who cares or is even aware of Manning’s situation (despite my constant T-shirt-wearing, postcard displays, buttons and so forth) and so getting together with people who *are* aware is really great.

What Do "Conservatives" Stand For?

Not that I think labels really do anyone any good, but there is a certain truth to what this person commenting says.
I like the comment so much that I'm reproducing it here.

Cynical in New York:
Conservatives are good at putting up a false opposition to liberal statism, when in reality they're only against statism when they're not in power. It doesn't matter which flavor of conservative statism whether it's neoconservative statism or paleoconservative statism.
To quote Lew Rockwell
"What does conservatism today stand for? It stands for war. It stands for power. It stands for spying, jailing without trial, torture, counterfeiting without limit, and lying from morning to night. There comes a time in the life of every believer in freedom when he must declare, without any hesitation, to have no attachment to the idea of conservatism."
or if you want something more simpler
"Conservatism is just pro-war socialism"
- Anthony Gregory
In my view libertarians have wasted enough time of trying to work conservatives. Ron Paul's presidential campaigns should've been a wake up call on how libertarians are viewed in the conservative movement. Libertarians dont need conservatives to advance liberty.
Adam Kokesh put out a nice video on calling out conservatives hypocrites who opposed gun control but support the government jackboot in other areas

THE WASHINGTON COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND DOWNEAST COMMUNITY HOSPITAL ARE TAKING BACK UNWANTED PRESCRIPTION DRUGS APRIL 30 AT HANNAFORD SUPER MARKET
To contact us Click HERE
Machias Maine– On April 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Washington County Sheriff's along with DownEast Community Hospital ] and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications to Hannaford Super Market US Route one Machias, The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
Last September, Americans turned in 242,000 pounds—121 tons—of prescription drugs at nearly 4,100 sites operated by the DEA and more than 3,000 state and local law enforcement partners.
This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.
Four days after last fall’s event, Congress passed the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an “ultimate user” of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized by the Attorney General to accept them. The Act also allows the Attorney General to authorize long term care facilities to dispose of their residents’ controlled substances in certain instances. DEA has begun drafting regulations to implement the Act, a process that can take as long as 24 months. Until new regulations are in place, local law enforcement agencies like The Washington County Sheriff's Office and the DEA will continue to hold prescription drug take-back events every few months.

L.A. Times Excludes Cause of Cabin Fire At Dorner Standoff
To contact us Click HERE
Source: LA Times
"The gunfire gave way to a tense standoff. Mountain residents locked their doors and hunkered down.
Within hours, authorities moved in on the cabin. The fire broke out, setting off ammunition that had apparently been inside. On TV, viewers saw only the orange flames and curls of black smoke."
That's it. That's all they give you.
The fire just........broke out.
Ya know....like they do!!!!
"Burn that fucking house down!"
Check out how USA Today is spinning the case.
Deputies did not intentionally burn down the Southern California mountain cabin where fugitive Christopher Dorner apparently made his deadly last stand Tuesday, the San Bernardino County sheriff said Wednesday.
"We did not intentionally burn down that cabin to get Mr. Dorner out," Sheriff John McMahon said at an afternoon news conference.
Sorry, but "burn that fucking house down" sure sounds like intent to me.

Prosecutor Says Hidden Microphones Weren't Recording

The May 2012 arraignment in the long-stalled war crimes case was an unruly 13-hour spectacle, drawn out as the defendants refused to use the court translation system, ignored the judge and stood up to pray in court. The defendants sat out portions of this week's session. When they were in court, they remained largely silent. The lead defendant, self-professed terrorist mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, sat quietly at his defense table, wearing a military-style camouflage vest over his white robe.
This week's hearings largely dealt with fears by members of the five defense teams that the U.S. government has been eavesdropping on their private conversations, violating the core legal principal of attorney-client privilege.
Military officials confirmed that meeting rooms used by the attorneys have microphones apparently disguised to look like smoke detectors. They said, however, that the devices have no recording capability and have not been used to monitor private meetings that prisoners have with their lawyers or the Red Cross. Prosecutors agreed on Thursday to disconnect the devices.
Bormann and Mohammed attorney David Nevin said the defense is continuing to investigate whether there has been any eavesdropping, which they said undermines their ability to represent their clients and under some circumstances could be illegal.
The chief prosecutor, Army Brig. Gen Mark Martins, said that after looking into the matter and hearing this week's testimony he is confident that there wasn't any monitoring of the attorney's conversations with the defendants. "It's not happening and we can go forward," he told reporters after the hearing adjourned.

I'm not so confident, myself.
One bizarre thing about following this particular story is that I haven't been able to print out any of Arun Rath's excellent reports from the PBS website.
What happens is, I print it, and gibberish comes out of the computer. The headline prints fine, and the rest is gibberish.
So, what I do, is I copy and paste it into our metro browser here, and then print it.
This has happened with all of Arun Rath's reports so far on the PBS site.
I was able to print out one of his reports from Public Radio Intenational's site for The World.
A colleague said, "You've got to get off of whatever list you're on."
