Beggars Can't Be Prosecutors

10 Americans in Haiti Charged With Child Kidnapping

A Haitian attorney says 10 Americans detained in Haiti for trying to take 33 children out of the country after the Jan. 12 earthquake have been charged with child kidnapping.

Edwin Coq says the Americans also are charged with criminal association. The 10 appeared in court Thursday and were whisked away to a jail in Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince.

Coq attended the session and has represented the group here.

Oh my. It seems we've misplaced some of those foreign aid checks with all the zeros on them. Perhaps some more reasonable charges would help us find them...

Poor Little Thing...

I've heard that Koala's are a tad feisty by nature, so I think it's amazing that they seem to know somehow that the people are trying to help them.

These fires have brought massive destruction, and death to hundreds of humans and countless numbers of wildlife. They appear to be acts of arson (actually terrorism might be a better term) and the police have arrested a suspect. If it is the bastard (or one of the bastards) who did this, I think burning at the stake would be appropriate.

Nice Shooting - or - Ammo Is So Much Cheaper Than A Trial

This happened back in October and I missed the story. Cape Girardeau Woman Kills Man Who Returned To Rape Her A Second Time

An intended rape victim shot and killed her attacker this morning in Cape Girardeau when he broke into her home to rape her a second time, police said.

The 57-year-old woman shot Ronnie W. Preyer, 47, a registered sex offender, in the chest with a shotgun when he broke through her locked basement door.

The woman told police he was the same man who raped her several days earlier. Officials do not intend to seek charges against her.

Thank you ma'am.

Mr. Preyer, have a nice stay in Hell.

Eh What The Huh?!

Man Poses As Underwear Market Researcher, Pleads Guilty To Child Molestation Charges

Ben Hawkins pleaded guilty Wednesday to nine charges of importuning and three counts of gross sexual imposition.

Prosecutors in Hamilton County say Hawkins looked for boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 16. They say he arranged to meet parents and children at schools, hospitals or at their homes and told parents he needed to measure their children's underwear for research.

Okay, the "underwear market researcher" should be punished, but seriously who are these parents? Why are they allowed to still have custody of their children? At the very least they should be kicked in the head repeatedly.

Sometimes Politics Doesn't Matter

S.F. Activist Slain In New Orleans Robbery

To Kirsten Brydum, a passionate 25-year-old community activist from San Francisco, one person's junk was another's treasure.
Images

Brydum, who wanted to change the world, certainly changed Dolores Park. Because of her, there is something called the Really, Really Free Market. People bring their rummage to the park on the last Saturday of the month and give it away. Nobody gets any money and everyone walks away a little richer. That was how she liked it.

She loved the freedom of far-flung travel and of cycling. On Saturday, while cycling after midnight in New Orleans after spending Friday evening in a dance club, she was shot in the head and killed in an apparent robbery, police said. Her killer remains at large.

I'm sure Kirsten and I wouldn't have hit it off politically, but I hope justice is served well on the bastard that did this. She sounds like a caring human being and the world is poorer without her.

These Bastards Have A Special Place In Hell

Thieves Steal Puppy of 10-Year-Old Boy With Cancer

You see, this is why we need public corporal punishment in this country - like they have in Singapore. Nothing crazy like the Muslims where you lose a hand or head or get stoned to death - just a few good hard whacks on the ass out in front of the Court House and then a night in the stocks.

Mirandize Those Who Terrorize?

Come on, you knew it would happen: Bin Laden Driver Was Not Read Rights, Court Told

A driver for Osama bin Laden was not told of any rights against self-incrimination under years of interrogation, FBI agents told the Guantanamo war crimes court on Thursday. [...]

The commission's chief defense counsel, Col. Steve David, said after Thursday's court session that Hamdan's lawyers intended on Friday to raise "significant new evidence" regarding Hamdan's treatment in interrogations that could reopen the issue of whether evidence can be used against him.

I'd like to think a military tribunal might be more impervious to stupid arguments such as this than the Kennedy Faction on the Supreme Court; but get ready, because this won't be the last time you hear bullshit defenses like this. Especially if John McCain gets his chance to close Guantánamo, as he has promised.

San Francisco Has Blood On Its Hands

The City by the Bay and its liberal politics has lead to the murder of three Americans at the hands of an illegal immigrant: Killings Turn Focus On San Francisco Sanctuary Law

The scene repeats itself daily on city streets: a driver gets stuck bumper to bumper, blocking an intersection and preventing another car from turning left.

But authorities say that was enough to cause Edwin Ramos to unload an AK-47 assault weapon on a man and his two sons, killing them.

The deaths immediately drew public outrage, which intensified when authorities revealed that Ramos, 21, is an illegal immigrant who managed to avoid deportation despite previous brushes with the law.

The case has put San Francisco's liberal politics to the test, setting off a debate over its sanctuary law that shields undocumented immigrants from deportation.

On Wednesday, Ramos pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder in the deaths of Anthony Bologna, 49, and his sons, Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16. Bologna and his older son died in the intersection on June 22. His younger son succumbed to his injuries days later.

Mayor Newsom, the city council, and everyone who helped enact or supports San Francisco's City of Refuge Ordinance are guilty of murder just as surely as Edwin Ramos is. Mrs. Bologna asks a question that should make all of us stop and think: "If my family wasn’t safe, what makes you think yours will be?" Oh, and remember to ask yourself that question the next time you hear John McCain double-talking about his DREAM to help make it easier for people like Ramos to stay in this country.

Hey, It's Their Beach

Dubai Detains 79 For Indecent Behavior On Beaches

Westerners were getting too racy on the beaches of this Persian Gulf tourist haven, and a police crackdown on topless sunbathing, nudity and other indecent behavior has resulted in 79 arrests in recent days.

Undercover officers are strolling the sand while others stand guard in new watchtowers to enforce the social mores of this Muslim city-state, which is a booming business center that is attracting growing hordes of foreign tourists.

You know the old saying: when in Dubai, do as the Doobyites do. They should just thank the Emirs they weren't raped just because they "were asking for it."

Let me ask the real question though... who is dumb enough to vacation in a country like that? And if they do, and get arrested for indecency why should we have any sympathy for them?

File Under: WTF?!

Hospital Video Shows No One Helped Dying Woman

A shocking video shows a woman dying on the floor in the psych ward at Kings County Hospital, while people around her, including a security guard, did nothing to help.

After an hour, another mental patient finally got the attention of the indifferent hospital workers, according to the tape, obtained by the Daily News.

Worse still, the surveillance tape suggests hospital staff may have falsified medical charts to cover the utter lack of treatment provided Esmin Green before she died.

"Thank God for the videotape because no one would have believed this could have happened," said Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union.

"There's a clear possibility of criminal wrongdoing with regard to recordkeeping, and that has to be investigated."

Every fucking employee at that hospital should be publicly flogged in Times Square. One of the mental patients had enough sense to try and do something, for God's sake! WTF, people!?

Somehow It Doesn't Seem Like Enough?

Police Kill Man Who Stomped Baby To Death

Police killed a 27-year-old man as he kicked, punched and stomped a toddler to death despite other people's attempts to stop him on a dark, country road, authorities said.

Investigators on Sunday were trying to establish the relationship between the suspect and the child they say he killed Saturday night. The Stanislaus County coroner said the boy appeared to be between 1 and 2 years old based on his size, according to county sheriff's deputy Royjindar Singh. [...]

"What we got from witnesses is he was punching, slapping, kicking, stomping, shaking," Singh said. "They tried to intervene and get involved, but their efforts really didn't have an effect. The suspect was engaged in what he was doing. He just pushed them off and went back to it."

A sheriff's helicopter responding to emergency calls from the area landed in a cow pasture at 10:19 p.m. carrying a Modesto police officer who shot the man to death after he refused an order to stop beating the child, Singh said.

Paramedics tried to resuscitate the toddler, who was not breathing when they arrived. The boy was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Somehow just killingthe motherf-cker - while a good move by the cops - doesn't seem like enough.

I'm Sorry, Who Doesn't Deserve To Live?

Marine, Back From Iraq, Shot Dead In His Home Town

On leave from the violence he had survived in the war in Iraq, a young Marine was so wary of crime on the streets of his own home town that he carried only $8 to avoid becoming a robbery target.

Despite his caution, Lance Cpl. Robert Crutchfield, 21, was shot point-blank in the neck during a robbery at a bus stop.

Feeding and breathing tubes kept him alive 41/2 months, until he died of an infection on May 18.

Two men have been charged in the attack, and Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason said Friday the case was under review to decide whether to seek the death penalty.

They bastards who shot him deserve a fair trail right? Well, after the trial can we execute them?

Stupid Criminal / Stupid Victim

Boy Lured Into Sex With Co-Worker By Photo Of Pamela Anderson's Breasts

A 32-year-old woman sent a picture of Pamela Anderson's breasts to a 15-year-old workmate shortly before beginning a sexual relationship with him, the Supreme Court in Launceston has heard.

Courtney Issabella Bailey, now 34, told police that the boy had texted her asking her for a picture of her breasts – but she sent a picture of the Baywatch star's breasts instead.

Bailey received a four-month suspended jail term today after pleading guilty to five counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 17 in January 2007.

Not to excuse her crime, but if the guy was dumb enough to believe her breasts look like Pamela Anderson's then there's not much we can do to help him in the long run.

As If We Needed Someone Else To Tell Us

AP Exclusive: Ex-manager Says O. J. Simpson Confessed

He [memorabilia dealer Mike Gilbert] said Simpson had smoked pot, took a sleeping pill and was drinking beer when he confided at his Brentwood home weeks after his trial what happened the night of June 12, 1994. Simpson said he went to his ex- wife's condominium, but did not bring a knife with him. Simpson told him Nicole Brown Simpson had one in her hand when she opened the door.

In a soft mumble, Simpson told him: "If she hadn't opened that door with a knife in her hand ... she'd still be alive."

Don't worry O. J. - I only believe every word the man said...

Conservative Values

Conservative: Kept within sensible limits, not excessive, discreet, heedful of consequences, reasonable, and restrained.

American Exceptionalism: The United States is an exceptional nation. No other country in the history of the world has done more to secure liberty and honor God-given rights of individuals. Our government is uniquely of, by, and for the people, not the other way around.

We Are One People: All of America's citizens can enjoy the rights and freedoms of our country without diminishing the rights of others. There can be honest differences of opinion and such differences result in opponents, not enemies.

Limited Government and Personal Freedom: Thomas Jefferson was correct when he wrote: "That government is best which governs least." Public servants must be held accountable to the highest standards of ethical conduct. Government should be limited to the powers delegated it by the Constitution. Beyond these powers, as government grows, individual freedom shrinks and the economy suffers. High taxes, runaway government spending, and over-regulation of business and farming punish initiative and stifle economic growth. Your property is yours and you have the basic right to make use of it without unreasonable government restrictions.

Reassertion of 10th Amendment Sovereignty: The 10th amendment to the United States constitution guarantees to the states and their people all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States. The United States constitution defines the total scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the United States constitution and no more. The Federal government was created by the states and their people specifically to be an agent of the states and their people. The federal government, as our agent, should be discouraged from imposing certain restrictive mandates or exercising powers that are beyond the scope of those constitutionally delegated.

Family is the Foundation of the Republic: Family and the values it fosters are the foundation of American society and their preservation is essential to our Nation's continued success.

The Supreme Court: The purpose of the Supreme Court is to determine whether laws are in keeping with the Constitutionally limited powers delegated the government. The Supreme Court is not to rule based on any other standard than that of a strict interpretation of the United States Constitution.

Individual Rights: The United States were founded on the fundamental principle that individuals have certain rights and freedoms which cannot be infringed upon and may be restricted only to the degree necessary to preserve the rights of others. The subjugation of individual rights in favor of groups rights is unconstitutional and has always lead to the trampling of individual freedom.

Individual Responsibility: Individuals are responsible for their actions and the consequences. It is not government's place to save individuals from their mistakes. This kind of government intervention only encourages irresponsible behavior and impinges on others' rights. With freedom comes responsibility and that individuals must take personal responsibility for their own actions and our criminal justice system must be based on this idea.

Religious Freedom: Americans should be free to practice religion how they please. Christianity has been a positive force in our society. Government should not overreach its powers to discriminate against any religious group. Government has no right to suppress prayers nor expressions of faith in public schools.

Respect for Life: Life is sacred and is to be defended. This includes the most vulnerable among us, the unborn. Ronald Reagan was correct when he wrote: "Make no mistake, abortion-on-demand is not a right granted by the Constitution. We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life -- the unborn -- without diminishing the value of all human life."

Right to Bear Arms: The right to own a gun is recognized specifically in the Constitution, yet it is constantly under attack legislatively and legally. The right to own firearms is important to the safety and security of individuals and a nation.

Strong Military and National Defense: A strong military is a necessary deterrent in dangerous world. The U.S. must maintain military superiority to ensure our security. The American military is made up of dedicated and patriotic individuals who deserve this nation's full support. The preservation of our rights and freedoms necessitates a strong national defense and the ability of the United States to negotiate with other nations from a position of strength.

Secure Borders: Legal immigrants have enriched this country. Illegal immigration undermines American sovereignty and weakens national security. The U.S. has a right and obligation to secure it's borders.

Energy Independence: For national security and economic reasons it is time that we as a nation become energy independent by exploiting all our natural resources responsibly while at the same time encouraging energy innovation.

Educational Choice: Parents have the right to determine the values with which their children will be raised and to have the widest possible choice among public, private and religious schools and that competition will improve public education.

Low Taxes, Free Markets, and Fiscal Constraint: The the money you earn is yours and government in a free society should be given only as much as is needed to perform those limited duties which are delegated to it. Government redistribution of income through taxation is not Constitutional. Individuals have a right to their income and are far better managers of their money than is the government. The free enterprise system is the most effective engine of economic progress and free market solutions improve the economy while upholding individual freedoms.

This is written partly by me and compiled partly from here and here.

Keep The Faith

This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. ~ Winston Churchill

Only in the Western world can a gay man live a free life as himself. Hence, the health and strength of the West is fundamental to my survival. ~ USMale

When my country, into which I had just set my foot, was set on fire about my ears, it was time to stir. It was time for every man to stir. ~ Thomas Paine

It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. ~ Samuel Adams

There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. ~ Ayn Rand

The American's Creed

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

~ by William Tyler Page

Quotes I Like

A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. ~ Douglas Adams

Leftists see everything in terms of black and white - if it has to do with race. When it's good and evil, then everything in their view turns gray.

I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it. ~ Mark Twain

I can say — not as a patriotic bromide, but with the full knowledge of the necessary metaphysical, epistemological, ethical, political and esthetic roots — that the United States of America are the greatest, the noblest and, in their original founding principles, the only moral country in the history of the world. ~ Ayn Rand

I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it. ~ Abraham Lincoln

Joan: I wish it didn't hurt so much.
God: It hurts because you feel it, Joan, because you're alive. You love people. That generates a lot of power, a lot of energy, same kind of energy that binds atoms together. And we've all seen what happens when you try to pry them apart.
Joan: So if I don't get attached to people, then it won't hurt so much?
God: No, it's in your nature to get attached to people. I put that in the recipe. It's when you guys try to ignore that, when you try to go it alone, that's when it gets ugly. Its hell. ~ from Joan of Arcadia

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. ~ Winston Churchill

Imagine a Labour canvasser talking on the doorstep to those East German families when they settle in on freedom’s side of the wall. “You want to keep more of the money you earn? I’m afraid that’s very selfish. We shall want to tax that away. You want to own shares in your firm? We can’t have that. The state has to own your firm. You want to choose where to send your children to school? That’s very divisive. You’ll send your child where we tell you.” ~ Margaret Thatcher

Never be separated from the Americans. ~ Winston Churchill

Our [Conservative] gays are more macho than their [Liberal] straights. ~ Ann Coulter

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace — but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! ~ Patrick Henry

The only colors that matter are red, white, and blue. ~ Bobby Jindal

Thinking about what you can't control only wastes energy, and creates its own enemy. ~ Worf (Star Trek - The Next Generation)

But we should at least stop fooling ourselves. Jihadists are not going to be wished away, rule-of-lawed into submission, or democratized out of existence. If you really want democracy and the rule of law in places like Pakistan, you need to kill the jihadists first. Or they’ll kill you, just like, today, they killed Benazir Bhutto. ~ Andrew C. McCarthy

Satan laughs at our toiling, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray. ~ The Kneeling Christian

To regret religion is to regret Western civilization. ~ Theodore Dalrymple

Conservative speakers are constantly being physically attacked on college campuses -- including Bill Kristol, Pat Buchanan, David Horowitz and me, among others.

Usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening. ~ Ann Coulter

These days, the Left advances its causes more effectively through the courts than through elections, for the fairly obvious reason that very few people are dumb enough to vote for this stuff. ~ Mark Steyn

For the gay establishment, the death of right and wrong began when gaining civil rights ceased to be enough. ~ Tammy Bruce

Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth. ~ George Washington (attributed)

A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies. ~ George Washington (First State of the Union Address)

Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one. ~ Thomas Paine

We doubt Emma Lazarus ever thought of: Give me your tired, your poor, your Indonesians yearning to be sex slaves for Muslims in Denver. It is called the 'Statue of Liberty', isn't it? ~ Debbie Schlussel

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. ~ John Stuart Mill

I think a baseball bat is the most effective way these days (to talk to liberals). ~ Ann Coulter

Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. ~ James Madison

Fear not your enemies for they can only kill you
Fear not your friends for they can only betray you
Fear only the indifferent who permit the killers and betrayers to walk safely on earth. ~ Edmund Yashinski

We are a nation that has a government — not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed. ~ Ronald Reagan

How much longer should we allow people from certain lands, with certain beliefs to come to Britain and America and build their mosques, teach hate, and plot to kill us? Okay, let’s have the required disclaimer: Not all Muslims from the Middle East and southeast Asia want to kill us, but those who do blend in with those who don’t. Would anyone tolerate a slow spreading cancer because it wasn’t fast spreading? Probably not. You’d want it removed. ~ Cal Thomas

I am convinced, if I kill every reporter, that there'll be news from Hell before breakfast. ~ General William Tecumseh Sherman

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit softly. ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Remember, remember - and realise that America has never retaliated for 9/11 in anything like the way it could have. ~ Tony Parsons, British Journalist

I do not look upon these United States as a finished product. We are still in the making. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

To liberals, building a wall across the Mexican border is a violation of the Voting Rights Act. ~ Ann Coulter

Two years after 'the day America changed forever,' the culture is in thrall to the same dopey self-delusion it held on Sept. 10, 2001: There are no enemies, just friends we haven't yet apologized to. ~ Mark Steyn

...the natural state of the world is Darfur. The freakish aberration is America and the rest of the Anglo-Saxon world. ~ Ann Coulter

And yes, I believe our Republic and liberty is in danger. Not in a "doomsday tomorrow! run for your lives!" sort of way. The danger lies, rather, in giving up our birthright for a pot of stew and some bread. ~ KevinQC

Remember, the government apparatchiks have to go through the rest of the house to get to your bedroom. It's best to stop them at the bottom of the driveway. ~ KevinQC

25 Things About Me

1) I don't like cooked onions. Raw onions... great. Cooked onions... blech.

17) I can't ice skate or roller blade. Weak ankles.

18) I always remember my dreams after I wake up, and they're always in full color.

19) I'm clumsy. (That's also a big factor in #17)

20) I was never a Dallas or Dynasty person. I was all Falcon Crest, baby!

21) My favorite color is green.

22) I worked in the hotel and tradeshow biz for eight years and as a result I've seen Las Vegas more than any person should. As a side note, you might think the gay bars there would be hoppin' - but in reality they are bleak and sad.

23) My favorite season is autumn. Second favorite is winter. Spring is okay. Summer sucks.

24) I love vodka. Passionately.

25) I will not swim in anything other than a crystal clear swimming pool. The ocean has sharks and ponds and rivers have snakes and alligators. I regard swimming in them as akin to walking unarmed across the Serengeti. (As for the Serengeti, see #3)

-Obligatory 26th Thing-

26) The first person I came out to in College ended up being totally unable to deal with it and our friendship ended. I still miss him.
