I somehow can't get my head around the fact that a teenage boy is dead after being terrorized by his killer for walking around with a hoodie on. I also cannot stomach that the killer has been acquitted.
Am I alone here in my disbelief over this situation? Am I alone in my utter terror of what concealed carry laws have rendered? Am I to begin to carry a weapon with me at all times so I can live in the politically created fear that everyone is out to get me and I can shoot to kill with no ramifications?
All that aside, this young man, Trayvon Martin, is dead because someone didn't like his look (color?), didn't like his attitude (harassed?) and didn't like him being where the shooter thought he shouldn't be (anywhere in America?).
What have we become? Better question - what new lows have we managed to fall to? The human race has never been one I've had particular respect or admiration for, despite having been a member for 62 years. Believe me, if there was another tribe on this planet, I would gladly join it and ask questions later.
Funny thing - one of my radical friends walked into his bank in a northwestern town in Wisconsin with a hoodie and aviator glasses on (as he called it - full Ted Kaczynski) and deliberately tried to scare everyone with his look. I'm guessing he has a ton of money on deposit with the particular bank. At any rate, the bank ultimately posted a notice that anyone who entered the bank and looked "threatening" would not be served and would be treated as a potential theft. Needless to say, my friend took his money and ran. He is now talking about taking his money and running to another country. Sounds like a good idea. I wish I had enough money to do it, too.
Are we all supposed to look alike here in Amerika? I propose we all swallow some chemical that will turn us all blue and smurfy nice. Then we can all get the same brown shirts and alas, who will we find to hate?
F*ck humans. I hope the aliens are saying it too, as they point their ray guns at our incredible stupidity.

Scott Walker as Dumb as they Come
Scott Walker made comments that protesters at Gogebic Taconite's mining site had "no place in Wisconsin". Excuse me? Mr. Walker, please be advised that this is a democracy (despite your best efforts) and protesters can protest anything we f*cking want, anytime we f*cking want, anywhere we f*cking want. His Idiotship Walker then went further to say that the protesters were radical extremists. No Walker, you're the f*cking radical extremist. We'll deal with you in the next election. Meanwhile, we're stuck with your absolute lack of intelligence and your total a$$hole politics.
Secondly, we had a city wide shootout this week; between two guys in cars who began shooting at each other on the south side of town, then got on the freeway, continuing to exchange gunfire, and ended up shooting it out on the north side of town.
Guess What! These Two F*cking Morons both had concealed carry permits --- brought to you by none other than Scott F*cking Walker.
Walker needs to go. All politicians who think (and I use the term loosely) like Walker does need to go. Americans need to mobilize to rid ourselves of this violent, ideology-spouting group of non-thinking fascists.
Take back America. Take back Wisconsin. Take back Sanity and send these complete idiots straight back to whatever hell hole they crawled out of.

Sheriff Clarke adept at Extortion
I am seething with the news that Milwaukee County will pay Sheriff Clarke's $95,000 legal bill in exchange for dropping all his ridiculous lawsuits against the county. This should not be a taxpayers burden, and frankly, paying for some one's insanity is something I'm only willing to do if they agree to take their meds and get psychological help.
This is another example of how insane government is in Wisconsin. We have a high ranking, elected county official getting away with extortion, and a County Board letting him.
Milwaukee is doomed as a city because of nitwits like these. Wisconsin is doomed as a state because of buffoons like Scott Walker. If this is how moronic things are on a local level; well, definitely more than time to leave.
I'm sure Louisiana will present a whole new set of problems and anxieties for me, but frankly, I couldn't be happier to be kissing off this mindless set of people and politicians for new horizons. Wisconsin might as well change its name to Banjo land for all the inbred examples of chromosomes gone completely wrong.

Nazi's in the Northwoods
I read with disbelief that Gogebic Taconite, the large mining corporation who is waiting for permission (and likely going to get it thanks to Head Moron Scott Walker) to mine and destroy hundreds of miles of pristine Wisconsin forest, has hired a security force who will wear camouflage and be armed with AK47 assault weapons.
There have been some clashes between Gogebic Taconite and environmentalists, as well as the Native American tribes whose watershed is threatened by this corporation.
Now if one thing is certain, the radical right wing republicans have one motto - less government is better. But what if our government is being replaced by corporate fascists who control everything with money and assault weapons, while removing every safeguard average citizens have?
My best friend grew up in communist Poland for awhile, and she often points out to me the similarities in what is happening here in Wisconsin with what happened in Poland. The Russians dictated the way of life to the Poles; while here, the corporations are dictating the way of life to everyone in the proposed mine area. All of this fascist behavior on the part of Gogebic Taconite is a precursor of the kind of America that is coming to us all if we don't stand together and stop the capitalist PIGS in their greedy tracks. If you don't believe me, fly somewhere and watch how quickly your carrier screws up your trip: delays your travel, loses your luggage, cancels your connection and tells you to pi$$ off: that's non-regulated business.
So glad to be leaving this ignorant, backwards state. My advice is not to take a walk in the woods in Wisconsin anymore. Corporations have a license to kill.

SCOTT WALKER - WOMB RAIDER
What is this constant fascination people on the right have with preventing legal abortions? Why is there so much dismay expressed by the radical right when a woman wants to exercise a personal choice over her own body? In short, what are these people so afraid of?
For the record, abortion seems to be a fairly extreme measure of birth control, and a choice I am glad I never had to make. But it is my body and my right to say what happens to it. I just got lucky, I guess.
Scott Walker and his administration have recently attempted to stop safe, legal abortions by enacting laws which have nothing to do with safe, legal abortions, except the restriction of them. This is less about protecting fetuses and women's health; and everything to do about the constant efforts of conservative-minded people to obstruct women's rights.
These people seem to think women should defer to men, stand in men's shadows, and go back to a way of thinking where women were just nice little things to be petted, spoiled and stuck in a kitchen making pot roasts for the eight, ten or fifteen children she managed to push out of her overused uterus. Didn't we leave all this behind decades ago? Why do they want to push women back into another century? WHY ARE YOU MEN SO F*CKING AFRAID OF WOMEN?
I believe some men are so struck by fear because women, at least in theory, can work alongside them, be better at things than they are, and get paid an equal salary. Women's hard fought battle for equality threatens these types to the point they are emasculated and feel worthless. Hey dudes - not our fault! The problem lies in you, not in the uterus.
Restrictive policies on women's rights over their own body is NOTHING short of STATE SANCTIONED SEXUAL ABUSE.
Women will not tolerate it. We will not tolerate being forced into America's version of a NAZI experimental medical facility. We will fight you and we will win. You will crawl away from this fight a beaten loser and you will spend the rest of your days trying to find a manhood that you never possessed in the first place.

Clarke Officially Insane
Sheriff Clarke has offered to drop his varied lawsuits against Milwaukee County in exchange for taxpayers footing his $95,000 lawyer bill. The lawsuits were already determined bogus by lower courts and are now in the appeal process. So basically, what Clarke is saying is "I'm a costly horse's a$$ and taxpayers should pay for it."
What reality is this guy living in? Not any I'm familiar with.
It's hard to tell which is more insane, Clark's rants or his utter audacity in expecting that taxpayers foot the bill for his less than intelligent legal maneuverings, which disrupted the common sense flow of government.
Well, this is surely the last nail coffin for Clarke's tenure as Milwaukee County Sheriff, and good riddance. Crazy religious guy with the psalm ridden old station wagon who drives around Milwaukee spouting bible passages over a loud speaker has more chance of being elected Sheriff than does Mr. Clarke.
Well, I can only hope.
It is, after all, Milwaukee, which is, after all, in Wisconsin, which is, after all, populated by people who are just as nuts as Clarke. You only have to look at the twice elected Scott Walker to know we're not in Kansas anymore. No Emerald City to get help from, either. Just flying monkeys and sham artists.

Ignorant Americans
I was appalled this morning to see that The Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel had published a political cartoon showing a coal burning energy plant and Obama, and asked readers which one was going to provide jobs, or some such tea bag nonsense. Appalled but not surprised. The Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel is quite possibly the worst example of American Journalism in the country today.
What amazes me about the United States and a very large number of its citizens is that so many people just don't get that we're destroying the planet by maintaining the status quo. Coal burning energy plants are a big part of that destructive process. So what good is a job at a coal burning facility going to do you if there isn't any decent air to breathe anymore because we've completed mucked it up with coal, cars and chemicals. You can't really work if you can't breathe.
See, that's the problem in America today. We've got way too many breathers. Some of these people should just be randomly suffocated; and they will be, by their own ignorance.
And while I'm on the subject of ignorant Americans, I happened to watch 740 Park Avenue, a documentary about the disparity between the 1% and the rest of us. Apparently, 740 Park Avenue is the premier address to have in America; and quite a few corporate bastards, er, bastions live there. Who the hell needs a 39 room apartment? Man, I hope this building is the first to come down - it would be a grand start to a revolution that's been brewing for awhile now. In history, it will probably be noted that the American 1% failed to gauge the depth of hatred people have for their greed, their apathy and their apartments. These people are freaks of nature - ask the doorman!
