First, Michael Mukasey says there will be no prosecutions forthcoming in the Justice Department nonscandal, and now comes the delicious news that non-undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame has her bogus lawsuit against Vice President Cheney dismissed.

A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday dismissed former CIA analyst Valerie Plame’s lawsuit against Vice President Dick Cheney and several former Bush administration officials for disclosing her identity to the public.

To become a parent?!! Was the mutherfucker who wrote this article high when he wrote it? To become a parent? Helloooo they were too busy knocking boots while playing hooky from school better known as “keep a nigga” sex which 9 months later means giving birth to a “keep a nigga” baby!

Oh so we are suppose believe that Lekisha Alazae Jenkins could have indeed graduated never mind the fact that “F” were dotting her report card for years.

READ THE REST IF YOU WANT BUT WHY BOTHER

This same old shit about grasping at something anything to explain why Negros are falling further and further behind.
Not to beat down my daughter again but she is the best example of why this piece is bullshit.
She is 20, with second child on board, she is too fucken lazy to even get her GED.
She is not failing to get her education because of “lack of expectations” or opportunities. She is like too many of these Negro kids, they are simply fucking lazy.

What the fuck, do we scrap the public school system and hire individual tutors for each of these damm kids?
This article is basically saying “we need to throw more taxpayer money into these schools” and I’m thinking fuck that.

I’m sick of this shit. These kids are pissing away free education and totally ignoring the fact that “education equals freedom.”
You mean to tell me that looking at their nappy head welfare queen mom, sitting on her ass watching Judge Mathis is not motivation enough to decide for themselves that being a permanent welfare case and babies daddy chaser is not the future they want!

Back in the day it was illegal for Negros to be educated, it was amazing how they managed to find a way around that little hurdle.

Now these little juvenile delinquents droupouts are bitching that teachers, parents, society did not motivate them enough. Give me a fucken break!

Pop quiz.

Let’s say you’re at Logan International Airport, the very same airport in which half of the 9-11 hijackers met on that fateful day to begin their carnage. You’re minding your own business when someone walks by holding something in their hand that looks like C4 that is hooked up to something that looks like a circuit board on the back of their hoodie by a bunch of wires. The words “Socket To Me” are written on the back of the hoodie. She’s also making a spectacle of herself while at the airport.

What would your first reaction be?

MIT’s Star Simpson did just that, for “Career Day” at school (she had been wearing the ensemble to campus for the previous few days). She was then shocked when she was promptly surrounded by airport security wielding machine guns, and then found herself in jail.

Simpson told authorities she was “surprised” she landed in jail. After all, she wrote on her Web site that she spends her free time “saving the planet from evil villains” and loves “crazy ideas.”There is absolutely nothing artistic about scaring people in public places, even if her father, Hugh Simpson, told the Maui News in Star’s native Hawaii that he was “proud” of his daughter. Then he boasted that his daughter went to a park after she was freed on $750 bail to “stretch her arms because she had been in a small room for hours and hours.”I hope she gets used to it because stupidity is not an excuse for criminality; an “art project” to attract prospective employers that terrorizes perfect strangers should certainly be a deterrent from Star Simpson ever landing a job.

But, apparently, MIT does not see it that way. It seems that Simpson had worn her bizarre ensemble for days before she showed up at Logan airport with it. All part of Career Day, she later told cops. No one on campus thought it prudent to tell her to take it off, especially considering that it is just days past the six-year anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

MIT needs to throw Star Simpson off campus because her “crazy ideas” - such as wearing a hoax device at the airport where two of the planes left on that dark morning when 3,000 people were murdered in this country - are unacceptable. Her parents, who did not react with any sort of responsibility for the actions of their daughter, should forfeit any cash they paid for her tuition thus far.

Until the schools are taken to task in this town for allowing stupidity, such as thinking a fake bomb attached to a sweatshirt is art appropriate for Career Day, hardworking people in this state will continue to pay the price for over-privileged out-of-towners to use our city as their personal playgrounds.

Found this on Moonbattery, amazing! 

President Bush’s nefarious reach stretches everywhere, even into dental schools, where he compels students to cheat on their exams.

Sixteen students at University of Indiana School of Dentistry have been suspended for hacking their way into password-protected files that helped them on exams, with an additional 21 students receiving letters of reprimand for knowing about it and keeping quiet. The Indianapolis Star brought in associate professor of dentistry Anne Koerber all the way from the University of Illinois at Chicago to explain how this is Bush’s fault:

When you have persons in high places who clearly lie about what’s happening with weapons of mass destruction, or CEOs who lie about where the money is going, I think the general public gets the idea that anything that makes money is what’s right.

At least the allegedly mendacious W doesn’t get all the blame. Capitalism is at fault too.

Dr. Koerber “has written about the ethics of dental education.” If her works are at the local bookstore, you’ll probably find them in the Moonbattery section.

SPEARSVILLE, La. (AP) — Two fifth-graders had sex on a classroom floor while two others fondled each other in the classroom, according to a teacher at Spearsville High School.

Union Parish Superintendent Judy Mabry would say only that the allegations were being investigated; Principal Frank Futch said the incident was not indicative of how the school is run.

First-year teacher Michael Walker, who teaches fifth- through eighth-grade English, said three students were either expelled or sent to an alternative school and two others got detention.

Students at the kindergarten through 12th grade school are unruly, disrespectful and rarely disciplined, Walker said.

“They cuss at the teachers and throw things at them, and nothing is done,” Walker said. “There was even one student who grabbed a teacher in the butt and nothing was done. The students run the school.”

NEW YORK - Four families have sued News Corp. and its MySpace social-networking site after their underage daughters were sexually abused by adults they met on the site, lawyers for the families said Thursday.

The law firms, Barry & Loewy LLP of Austin, Texas, and Arnold & Itkin LLP of Houston, said families from New York, Texas, Pennsylvania and South Carolina filed separate suits Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging negligence, recklessness, fraud and negligent misrepresentation by the companies.

“In our view, MySpace waited entirely too long to attempt to institute meaningful security measures that effectively increase the safety of their underage users,” said Jason A. Itkin, an Arnold & Itkin lawyer.

MySpace, based in Los Angeles, did not immediately return calls for comment.

Critics including parents, school officials and police have been increasingly warning of online predators at sites like MySpace, where youth-oriented visitors are encouraged to expand their circles of friends using free messaging tools and personal profile pages.

MySpace has responded with added educational efforts and partnerships with law enforcement. The company has also placed restrictions on how adults may contact younger users on MySpace, while developing technologies such as one announced Wednesday to let parents see some aspects of their child’s online profile, including the stated age. That tool is expected this summer.

The lawyers who filed the latest lawsuits said the plaintiffs include a 15-year-old girl from Texas who was lured to a meeting, drugged and assaulted in 2006 by an adult MySpace user, who is currently serving a 10-year sentence in Texas after pleading guilty to sexual assault.

The others are a 15-year-old girl from Pennsylvania, a 14-year-old from New York and two South Carolina sisters, ages 14 and 15.

Last June, the mother of a 14-year-old who says she was sexually assaulted by a 19-year-old user sued MySpace and News Corp., seeking $30 million in damages. That lawsuit, filed in a Texas state court, claims the 19-year-old lied about being a senior in high school to gain her trust and phone number.

I’m shocked, a man who lies, who have ever heard of such a thing!

WARNING SNOOP RANT!

Shit, I am unable to come up with a new way of conveying my disdain for these never-ending parades of moronic parents bitching and complaining about THEIR kids using technology to get themselves in trouble.

In case one of you idiot ass parents happen to read this, let me peep you to something.

If your 10, 11, 12 13 year old kid is on line chatting with adults the problem is with your kid!
You are either not paying enough attention to them, you have spoiled, coddled these little bastards into engaging in these online antics.

My Space and any other online networking service is not responsible for ensuring that your stupid ass children are not chatting with sexual predators and other fucked up people.

I’m so sick of hearing about this bullshit I can’t see straight. That is the problem with the Oprah generation. We have these off the chart idiot parents who specifically tune into Oprah because they can process common sense methods into their parenting.

I’m in my 40’s and I’ll be completely honest, the future of this country is tenuous.
We have a generation of kids today that are just off the charts idiots.
They are fat, lazy, irresponsible, rude, lacking in common sense dolts.

The article talked about a “15-year-old girl from Texas who was lured to a meeting,”
How the fuck do you get lured to a meeting, I’m mean seriously people.
Do you actually think the problem was My Space?
Any young girly who can be talked into hooking up with some adult jackass they met online is an idiot.

And before you think I’m just being a hard ass, consider some of the recent episodes of  Dr Phil.
On girl Alex, barely 14 years old, running away, stealing (stole $8,000 from her grandmother), doing drugs and prostituting herself to men nearly twice her age.  

Another show and a segment A Materialistic Monster?
This mom actually blames retail America for spoiling Jacquie, her 14-year-old daughter. The little tramp says “if it looks cheap, she won’t wear it.”

The sister of another guest describes the crap given to her ONE YEAR OLD nephew and niece: “They have their very own living room filled with every possible toy you could imagine. The kids even have their own 52-inch TV equipped with a DVD player.” At Julian’s first birthday party he had pony rides, an inflatable bouncy gym, clowns, a steel drum band, a cotton candy machine, and full catering.”

And the result of having these idiot parents raising these spoiled selfish little trolls, this mother:
Connie says her 33-year-old son, Richard, is so lazy and selfish that he actually found a way to put her out of her own home, so he could move his family of five in!

What does this have to do with the My Space article, everything!

You dumbass parents out there who raise these idiot kids will be sending them out into the world, running businesses, being the next generation of stupid politicians, running our towns, cities, hospitals and healthcare system but more importantly BREEDING another generation of idiot kids.

Beam me up Scotty. 

SKANK PARENT UPDATE:

Ok I’m watching Dr. Phil and I’m watching this idiot bitch on his show.

The biggest and the baddest guys really turn me on,” says 29-year-old Sarah, who has two daughters.
She says her two young daughters love visiting their step-dad behind bars.
 She says that her first husband served two years in prison for identity theft and forgery. Her second husband was in for nine years for receiving stolen property, and her current husband, Willie, is serving 26 years to life for murder. “My husband is inmate number J73764. Willie will be up for parole in the year 2020, if he behaves,” she says. “He looks very intimidating. Some consider him a monster, and I absolutely love that about him. It excites me.”

Ya see again folks, this idiot bitch just had to fuck us all over and had kids.
If she were a single idiot bitch then fine, date criminals no problem.
But Nooooooo, she breeds, dates these fucken criminal bastards and drags her kids to see this piece of shit murderer IN JAIL. Amazing! 

Now there are two more little girls who will grow up to be some pedophile seeking, sexually deviant, trailer court queens modeling their behavior after their skank mother.

I ask again, y’all think My Space is the problem?

 This was the front page story in the Kansan, KU newspaper.
Apparently some dudes were preaching some anti-gay stuff, ho hum…
What was interesting that over a thousand students pissed off a part of their day to give these dudes some grief.
I find it odd, with the crap being perpetrated in the media about Rush and the Michael J. Fox scam ad, as being “hateful”, the Harold Ford ad being “racist” and now you have these student bitching and moaning about someone else exercising “free speech.”
My anger may be exacerbated by the fact that I am in an exceedingly fucked up mood, but I am so sick of fucken liberals and their wining and bitching and moaning.
These idiot students obviously did not have the fucken common sense to just leave these people alone.
These dudes got what they came for, an audience!
But I find it ironic that liberals keep constantly talking about how they are people who believe in free speech and don’t engage in hateful rhetoric.
They are documented in thousands of pictures with “we hate Bush”, “Kill Christians” “Kill Jesus if he returns”, Bush is a “punk ass”
Ah hell, although I love blogging there are just some days that I wonder why I bother with all the keystrokes ranting about liberals.
It tis obvious that much of their stupidity is innate. 

 

 From the University of Kansas, Kansan 

Students cursed, screamed at, spit on, threw eggs at and chucked Bibles toward two men who spoke on Wescoe Beach Wednesday with a message that homosexuals, Jews, Muslims, people who masturbate and people who listen to rap or rock and roll music are going to hell.

More than one thousand students gathered around Michael Venyah and Chris Lemieux on Wescoe Beach at the height of the disagreement. The two men, both in their 30s, wore red T-shirts with yellow writing that said “No Homos go to Heaven -1 Corinthians 6:9-10” on the front and “All Homos go to Hell -Corinthians 6:9-10” on the back. Lemieux said the two men from Michigan had been preaching at colleges for two years.

Students stood shoulder-to-shoulder, filling the front steps and the patio of Wescoe Beach. Most laughed at Venyah’s remarks or yelled back at him. Several times the chant “Let’s love, not hate” echoed through the crowd. Several students said they had missed class to see the protest.

At one point two women broke from the crowd and ground against one another and against Venyah as he spoke. A few students waved condoms and hot dogs in his face, others held signs in front of him, blocking his view of the crowd. People in the crowd held signs with things like “God hates Books” and “I ate chili for lunch” written on them. Venyah was constantly surrounded by students asking him questions or trying to disrupt his message.

The men began speaking about 10:30 Wednesday morning and stayed until 3:30 in the afternoon. Some of the things Venyah said included, “Tupac and Biggie Smalls are in hell,” and “You people don’t obey Christ, you obey your lust.”

Sarcastic shouts from students could be heard throughout the crowd. One student yelled, “We’re all going to hell and then we’re all going to Disneyland!”

Cameron Baraban, Overland Park freshman squirted ketchup packets on Venyah’s shirt as he spoke. “Anything to deface the lie that’s on his shirt,” he said. “His message is driven by hate.”

Lemieux, who video taped Venyah, but didn’t preach himself, said they were with a group called Soulwinners Ministries International. According to the group’s Web site, Venyah founded the group with his wife Tamika in 2004. Lemieux said she usually preached too, but couldn’t be there yesterday.

“This is our job,” Lemieux said. He said God provided for them as they preached their message at colleges across the country.

Liney Pugh, Washington, D.C., freshman said, “I think it’s really wrong to preach hate like they do.” Pugh and another girl approached Venyah together and kissed “just to piss him off.” She said Venyah then called her a whoremonger.

Lemieux said he thought they had converted 30-40 people to Christianity in the two years they had been preaching at colleges. He said he believed homosexuals were harming Jesus Christ by sinning against him.

“Most homosexuals don’t believe what they’re doing is a sin and most people in society don’t believe homosexuality is a sin,” Lemieux said. He said telling people they were going to hell helped them to develop a fear of the Lord.

Lemieux said someone preached to him and told him he was going to hell, turning him into a Christian.

Renee Burnett, a Kansas City, Kan., junior who is bisexual, said she thought the idea that God wanted homosexuals to burn in hell was absolutely wrong. She stood across from Venyah holding a rainbow flag with several other students. “I came here to stand up for the people I love,” she said.

Spencer Davidson, Linwood freshman, is a Christian. He said he disagreed with Venyah and Lemeieux’s message, but he also disagreed with KU students’ response to the men.

“They’re giving him what he wants by making this into a big event,” Davidson said. “By calling him things like a bigoted asshole, they’re not countering his argument at all and it’s not doing anything to help the Christian community or to help people reach Christ.”

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom’s new squeeze, Brittanie Mountz, just turned 20 last month — and that raises a couple of questions about the couple’s nights on the town.

The biggest question is whether Mountz has been drinking, and it’s been swirling since the pair made their first public appearance and walked down the red carpet together at the San Francisco Symphony in September.

At the time, Mountz had a MySpace page that said she was 19. It now says she’s 26.

But according to the Sonoma County registrar of voters, the Rohnert Park resident turned 20 on Sept. 17 — three weeks and two days before Newsom turned 39.

A model by day, by night the Sonoma State alum works as a hostess at San Francisco’s trendy Aqua restaurant, where she and the mayor met.

Photos of Mountz holding a wine glass during the opening of the new Westfield San Francisco Shopping Center, where Newsom also made an appearance, raised some eyebrows.

The photos had been posted on society photographer Drew Altizer’s Web site this past week. After Chronicle City Hall reporter Cecilia Vega began asking whether Mountz had been drinking alcohol at an event where the mayor was present, the photos promptly came down.

The questions infuriated Newsom, who told a group of reporters Friday, “I’ve got to deal with all kinds of terrible calls from reporters doing horrible things that are mean-spirited.”

Whether Mountz was actually drinking alcohol at the shopping center opening remains a mystery. Attempts to reach her were unsuccessful.

But Newsom spokesman Peter Ragone distanced his boss from the event, saying the mayor and Mountz had arrived separately and had not been there together.

In a statement, Ragone said, “Brittanie is a friend of the mayor’s. They did not attend the Bloomingdale’s event together. Obviously there has been some uncertainty about her age. However, given what The Chronicle has dug up on her, if she was in fact drinking, that is a mistake.”

Newsom has never provided Mountz with any alcohol, and if she ever had a drink in his presence, that’s news to the mayor, Ragone said.

“If she was drinking,” he said, “the mayor didn’t notice.”

By the way, Mountz’s voter registration revealed something else interesting — she’s a Republican.

Are they fucking kidding?

I’m 41. I wouldn’t date a 19 year old. Is he a child sex predator? No. But it’s the same kind of really shitty judgement people often have. What is he, mentoring her? Helping her with issues, or like some Congressmen, fucking the barely legal.

Not only does it not look right, after he divorced his lawyer/tv host wife, but it shows a lack of political awareness. Do you want to vote for someone who would mack on your teenage daughter?

Boys or girls, grown men should keep their hands off teens. Even if it is legal, it looks like shit.

Which was my point about Kolbe. Even if it doesn’t violate the age of consent, it looks like crap. This is a teenager, he’s nearly 40. No good can come from this for a public official. Which should have crossed his mind.

Could not have said it any better myself.

 Sorry people but ole Snoop must cut to the chase on these type of stories. Rap music destroying the lives of young white kids.
No the story does not mention it, but people have been bitching about rap music forever and the reason why these rap stars are getting paid is because little Susie, Amy and Amber are uttering the phrases from these rap lyrics at the dinner table and flashing gang signs when the don’t have a fucken clue as to what they mean.
The other day while bored I watched a flick called Havoc, about these rich “bored” white girls going out to East L.A. exploring the “flava” of inner city culture.
Playing the ignorant wigger role is increasing in suburbia and this is the result.
You have some white folks who sure as hell don’t want to live near niggas and they damm sure don’t want their precious daughters mimicking some gold teephus, saggy pant wearing, thug.
These white kids fail to see that it is all bullshit. Nellie, Jay Z and Little Jon don’t live in the hood they are out in suburbia with maids and the gourmet chefs.
Yes, blame rap music it’s a convenient scapegoat for white folks.   

FROM: The Daily Mail (UK) 

Rap stars are encouraging early sexual activity among teenagers by promoting a degrading view of women, research shows.
Psychologists said their findings from a three-year study presented a worrying picture of how popular music affected the attitudes of boys and girls to sex.
Rap music and hip hop, with their particular emphasis on sex and demeaning depictions of women, were blamed for encouraging early sexual behaviour, leading to the spread of disease and underage pregnancies.
Dr Steven Martino, who led the US study published in the latest edition of the journal ‘Pediatrics’, said that “sexually degrading lyrics” - many graphic and filled with obscenities - caused changes in adolescents’ sexual behaviour.
He said, “These lyrics depict men as sexually insatiable, women as sexual objects, and sexual intercourse as inconsequential. Other songs about sex don’t appear to influence youth the same way.
“These portrayals objectify and degrade women in ways that are clear but they do the same to men by depicting them as sex-driven studs. Musicians who use this type of sexual imagery are communicating something very specific about what sexual roles are appropriate, and teenage listeners may act on these messages.
“These lyrics are likely to promote the acceptance of women as sexual objects and men as pursuers of sexual conquest. Despite the fact that degrading sexual lyrics are particularly demeaning for women, they affect adolescent boys and girls similarly.”

The same disturbing messages were contained in videos which endorse the portrayal of women as sexual objects, the report said. The research team surveyed 1,461 children aged from 12 to 17 from across the US, asking them about their sexual behaviour and how often they listened to music by various artists including rock, country, rap, blues and pop.
They found that the youngsters listened to an average of 1.5 to 2.5 hours of music a day - not including what they saw on television or videos - but that 40 per cent of the songs referred to sex or romance.
Adolescents who listened to a lot of music containing “objectifying and limiting characterisations of sexuality progressed more quickly in their sexual behaviour” than teenagers who preferred different kinds of music. This was regardless of race or gender, the report said.
