TRIGGER WARNING

This is Trigger the Horse. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Hard Workin' Amtrak Regular Joe

Just look at this man. He doesn't need a secret bunker with a man sized safe from which to run the shadow government. All he needs is a six-drawer wooden file cabinet and a map of Iraq. What a gangsta.

I can't say it better than out Dear Uncle Axe:

There are reasons for a bit of Defeatist hope. We need to remember that institutions, organizations, government and movements are amoral and evil; those who sell themselves to those things give up part of their soul. But, people can be marvelous...here's to some marvelous people!

Congratulations, Agi!

OMFG. It's all the Internet's Fault!!!

Old marble mouth asks...

Was Internet Complicit In Fort Hood Shooting?

Yeah, and the telephone is to blame for the Holocaust, the Kennedy Assassination and the Manson Family Murders.

Not Gay. Never Has Been Gay.

I think this qualifies as quote of the week:

"I meet with the gays here and there. They were in my house two weeks ago. I don’t mind gays. But I don’t want ‘em stuffing it down my throat all the time,"

- Utah Senator Chris Buttars, explaining his opposition to allowing same-sex couples to adopt children.

Baphomet Obama

When the question is asked on national cable television if our current sitting president is the devil, you know we have truly reached a spectacular moment in our political discourse. I consider myself delighted.

update: Y'all better ask yourself one question.

We Loves Our Guns in the USA

Yesterday, a Mooslem psychiatrist flipped out, shouted Allahu Admiral Akbar and shot up our war fighters at a military base.

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room.

Then this morning, some dude went postal at a construction firm in Alan Grayson's district. I wonder Grayson will add the victim to his ongoing list.

As-Salāmu `Alaykum, you little punk.

And yesterday afternoon, right around the corner from my place some depressed dude barricaded himself in his apartment and shot himself. Irvine, natch, responded in freak out mode:

Police set up a perimeter several blocks wide around the apartment. There were around 40 squad cars on the scene, along with an armored car, the SWAT team and a helicopter.

Police also set up a mobile command post a few blocks away, at Yale Avenue and the I-5, Boggs said.

About 25 apartment units next door and across from the man's apartment were evacuated, as was the nearby Chinese Cultural Center, Boggs said.

Seven schools in the area were on lockdown from 1:30 to 2 p.m., said Irvine Unified School District spokesman Ian Hanigan.

Shit, I'm surprised Mayor Kang didn't call in the National Guard.

Ethics Panel Investigates Free Tickets for Paterson
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE

The State Commission on Public Integrity has begun a preliminary inquiry into the solicitation of free tickets for the opening game of the World Series by aides to Gov. David A. Paterson, an administration spokesman confirmed on Monday.

The inquiry follows revelations that a senior adviser to the governor, David Johnson, asked a Yankee official for five tickets for the game, at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday. Mr. Paterson attended the game along with Mr. Johnson; Mark Leinung, the deputy director of state operations; the governor’s son, Alex; and one of his son’s friends. The tickets, with a face value of $425 each, seated them a few rows behind home plate.

State law forbids officials in the executive branch from soliciting or accepting gifts of more than nominal value from any lobbyist if the gift appears intended to sway the official. The Yankees organization is registered to lobby the Paterson administration, as well as the State Legislature, in connection with financing for the stadium.

. . .

While state ethics rules do allow some gifts accepted in connection with official duties, they appear to exclude most tickets to sporting events. An advisory opinion by the commission last year stated that attendance at events which are “substantially recreational in nature” cannot generally be considered official duties.

Though the commission, which can levy fines for ethics breaches, cannot acknowledge a continuing investigation, a spokesman, Walter Ayres, said exceptions to the ban were few.

-Give you three guesses as to who drops by Weekend Update next SNL. How this guy can still be entertaining running for Governor is beyond me.
