...to prevent international incidents for one thing, and to prevent the abuse of old people for another. As I described before, different cultures have different perceptions of privacy of their persons....none more so than Western cultures and Latin American cultures....well it finally happened, TSA pissed off the wrong Latino.... just look at the "person of interest" to the left then read the story.....luckily they get away with it with old folks all the time..... Costa Rica protests US airport security By MARIANELA JIMENEZ, Associated Press Writer Sat Apr 26, 5:14 PM ET SAN JOSE, Costa Rica - Costa Rica has suspended legal cooperation with the United States and filed a diplomatic protest over what it called the "disrespectful" treatment of its attorney general at the Miami International Airport. In a letter describing the incident, Attorney General Francisco Dall'Anese said a security officer at the airport allowed him into the United States on April 23, ...

Since I started blogging, very few things disturb me dramatically. I have learned about government corrpution, special deals, backroom politics, as well as the overbearing DMV workers who want to be our masters . All of this seems the news de juer, but maybe to prove to myself that some things still shock me, there is the story of Custer County Oklahoma Sheriff Mike Burgess using inmates as sex slaves. As I reported earlier this practice is NOT uncommon in other insane square states either . Of course in a county with a relatively high rate of poverty nothing seems surprising anymore. The median income for a household in the county was $28,524, and the median income for a family was $37,247. Males had a median income of $27,066 versus $19,479 for females. The per capita income for the county was $15,584. About 12.40% of families and 18.50% of the population were below the poverty line, including 21.00% of those under age 18 and 10.50% of those age 65 or over. Making both young offender...

There are some things in this life I find very easy to believe, like the sky is blue because of light reflected off the water from the ocean, that cats like to eat fish, that my car when it does not get enough oil will not drive as well as it could or that Nixon liked to count Jews at the Bureau of Labor Statistics . It is not even hard to believe that Mick Huckabee said of Jesus that, "HE CAME TO ME IN A VISION AT THE HOAGIE HUT, AND SAID THAT IF HE HAD, LOOKED LIKE ME, HE COULDN'T HAVE FIT ON THE CROSS, AND THERE NEVER, WOULDA' BEEN CHRISTIANITY." Even though this is clearly satire. Or that the God Elohim is living on another planet and wants me to become a god and populate the solar system like Joe Smith said he would . There are some things I find harder to believe, like that George W. Bush enjoyed blowing up frogs with firecrackers as a young boy . Which, if true, it only confirms every long suspected fear of every self-respecting but misguided liberal . And mor...

I found an unsolicited letter in my mailbox today from David Horowitz saying you liberals are blocking Islamo - demofascist -commie awareness week. Is this true you traitors ? I am so incredibly sick of the turpitude and screed of the conservative movement, that I am at a loss for words right now. Well you will be happy to know I sent him back this message: Dear Mr. Horowitz, It is with great sadness I received your letter. It clearly demonstrates how great the Islamo - democommie -fascist threat to our great nation is. It is almost as great as the threat posed by other groups like the entire left. I loved it when you said, " Part of the motivation for Discover the Networks is....the view that leftist individuals and groups provide support, intentionally or not, for Islamic terrorism, and thus require ongoing scrutiny." And when you provided proof in your Book Unholy Alliance that made me a think of you as a new Lenin. I mean if all the Islamo - democommie -fascists get to...
