Howdy Infodel ... Really alot of great stuff here as far as food for thought. I am still going throguh this, so a couple comment's I would like to add first.
The AOLNews piece on Claude Jones and Texas execution's is more deep than even that. You posted a piece in one of your last round up's that I did on Texas Execution's, and why I felt they should be indefinitely suspended. Even though Texas has slowed down a tad in the last few year's ... it doesnt even look closely at what they already did. I'm am not anti death penalty ... what I'm saying is I know damn well first hand that too many have been executed for year's here that had Kangaroo trial's of sort. It is so common in the mindset here that folk's dont give it much thought, in other word's ... the mentality is ... "so what, we get 8/ 9 out of 10 right were doing good" But what I know about this is incredible, of the stories of trial's I could tell. If it wasnt for the national media and atencion, we frankly would be up shit's creek here on this. Killing across the board in Texas, is about as common as daily breakfast, so you have a large population of folk's that dont think about it much, because it's so common here.
As far as other news in Texas and Florida concerning Nameless Cynic's Legislator's Bukkake ... this is also common daily stuff. :)
Weirdness made a post of interest, when writing about Iron Sky Myth's, because actually not only that ... but the History Channel has other questionable programming across the board, and the Nazi Tech thing is one that amazed me and had me wondering.
Hysterical Raisin's on breakfast and other food packaging's is not only funny, but actually a work of art!
Dead Logic on the religios bumper sticker's are fun .... but may I suggest, if you really want to see some hilarious anti fundi bumper sticker's, Google a place called AZURE GREEN ... a metaphysic's joint I been shopping at for a quarter century now!
if you really want to see some hilarious anti fundi bumper sticker's, Google a place called AZURE GREEN
Heh.....I may have to get this one.
I hear ya Guy .... nice sticker! Great to have in any of the bible town's especially. Actually ... AzureGreen has some really decent price's on their item's too ... I have bought jewelry, various incenses, video's, book's, some gift's for friend's and familia, etc, and they have a good size inventory as well! :)
Another thing ... that was the first time I ever heard of anything like that as far as the Discovery piece via Mendip on Isanity Virus's ... I mean ... that's all the fuck we need next ... so all these folk's that kill for fun, like all the parent's that kill their kid's I been writing about, get to have even another defense to get away with it, as many of these scumfuck Texas mom's have gotten away with. Awful on one hand in Texas, we have a probability strong of executing innocent's ... some mom can kill her kid's and cry that she has post up the ass syndrome or get's message's from ancient fictional prophet's, and walk Scott Free ... or like that scumfuck muslim dad who executed his 2 daughter's on the phone to 911, etc.
Politics Plus, I didnt know whether to laugh, cry, take a shit, or wind my bloody watch! :) ... But was a hilarious piece in a sense, on the GOP's War on Xmas ... I know the awful reality of this, certainly wrote enough garbage about it myself ... but what's hilarious ... is looking at all the masses of dumbasses in this country that buy all this horseshit, then in a few year's from now ... they'll be whining about this and that ... and the usual politician's will have 101 reason's why this didnt happen or that didnt happen with a train load of mouthpiece flunkies to back them ... and bottom line ... is not a goddamn thing got done .... because also , the people dont act.
