Rested, So A Little Less Outrage Edition


Editor's Note: I know you all missed me. I hope to be back writing regularly, but coupling a busy schedule with a somewhat demoralizing feeling about the failed works of the Democrats in Congress leaves me drained of energy sometimes. Here we go.....

The California wildfires struck and caused great devastation. Fortunately, there was a seemingly decent government response, despite the unavailablity of some national guard resources (in Iraq). Nevertheless, FEMA still felt the need to spend its resources on a fake news conference. Why would they need a fake news conference when have FoxNews at their disposal?

One other thing about the fire and the positive response. It is absolutely silly to compare this to Katrina. The people in the fire's path had cars. They also had real warnings - like the government called their homes and told them to leave. Further, there was no "boy who cried wolf" syndrome like there was in New Orleans (who is evacuated yearly). But above all, again, they had cars. So they drove to a recovery center. At the recovery center they were given things like vouchers for hotels or Target. They then drove away. That was a common scenario. That was never an option in New Orleans. So it is encouraging that the fire response was improved, but I don't think it is that relevant to an urban crisis on par with Katrina.

TV has been great this fall. New episodes of The Office (Thurs, NBC, 8pm) and Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia (Thurs, FX, 10pm - watch this show if you haven't!) have been great. Also, after a slow start to the season, Curb Your Enthusiasm (Sun, HBO, 10pm) has regained its top form all the back in Season 3.

Here is a great reason to be down the Democrats: the approval of 5th Circuit Judge Leslie Southwick. Most Dems voted against him/her, but none of the leadership had the courage to filibuster him/her. This despite Southwick being against punishing employees who call black co-workers a "good ole nigger." Southwick finds that phrase only "somewhat derogatory." Southwick has also issued opinions labeling gays as second-class citizens. And the Democrats allowed this type of judge to take the bench. What a joke.

Ricky Davis was traded to the Miami Heat. That puts the Heat right back at the top of the pack in the East. Will they win it all with 3 big-time scorers.....or will Boston be too much....or will LeBust make me look foolish again? My NBA preview is on its way.

Early this year, a journalist named Matt Lepacek was arrested because he asked Rudy Giuliani a question about Rudy's knowledge about when the WTC towers could collapse. Adding that to the "bro" arrested for asking John Kerry too long a question and you have to wonder what is going on. Why are American citizens not allowed to even ask questions anymore?

Speaking of Rudy, in the days after 9/11 he haulted the search for ground zero survivors 24 hours after securing $230 Million in buried gold from the scene. Coincidence? These types of unknown stories are exactly why I pray he is the GOP nominee (which is looking more likely everyday - I think Huckabee might now be the best chance to stop him).

BONUS:
Remember how Rudy Giuliani's wife murders dogs, much like Michael Vick? Well, Mitt Romney also has some issues with animal cruelty. Back in the day, Romney placed his family dog, an Irish setter named Seamus, into a cage that was strapped to the top of his station wagon for a 12-hour family trip from Boston to Ontario. Sounds pretty damn cruel to me....but at least he didn't kill the dog, like Giuliani's wife or Michael Vick would have.

Back to the Ricky Davis trade for a moment. Days before the trade, I read all these comments on yahoo's NBA page from readers about how the Cavs were looking so bad. At least 5 people were saying they should trade for Ricky back. Good to see some people are regaining their senses.

Chuck, the differences you pointed out all have NOTHING to do with the beaviour of the individuals inside the 2 stadiums. Look at Robert's post for a better breakdown.

Also, why aren't you jumping up and down about the running back from Penn State who was charged with rape? Oh yah, he's black, and thus you would never want to judge. Now if he were white (ie a LAX player from Duke), you would be all over it. HYPOCRITE.

okay, you are exactly why i barely have the energy to do this anymore. i don't care about your insinuations about the poor inner-city population of New Orleans versus the wealth suburban population of San Diego.

and i never heard about the Penn State kid, because i don't really care about Penn State. I will watch them against OSU today and maybe I will here about it then.

calm down.

and by the way, those reasons i offered ARE reasons why things were different at Qualcomm. Most people drove in and out within 24 hours. That offers a great reason for the different "beaviour"

but i am not getting into some pissing match with you over this, so save your time.

you are going to criticize grammar and spelling when you have phrases like


" the wealth suburban population of San Diego."

comparing what Rudy's wife did 20 yrs ago to Mike Vick is sickening, and is a purposeful twisting of the truth. She performed surgeries on dogs with new mdical equipment. Which 20 yrs ago was an accepted practice. And you are really digging with the WTC story. Why do you constantly post these ridiculas stories and conspiracy theories. I truly believe that everyone involved in 9/11 republican and democrat had every intention to di all they could to save as many as possible.

i did not post any 9/11 conspiracy theory. i mentioned that a person was arrested for asking a question about it. very different. and despite the fact that i don't buy the 9/11 conspiracy stuff, i sure as hell think all citizens should be allowed to ask questions about the topic. i support the right to ask questions....too bad you don't.

and rudy's wife's conduct was totally unnecessary and brutal. i am completely anti-dog murder....too bad you aren't.

Just checking the list of the top 60 serial killers in the history of this country. Only 7 of the 60 are black.
Can I conclude that white folks are more likely to commit serial murders ? I mean let's talk honestly about this tendancy.

Yes, you must be busy, because you must have just seen the press clippings or left wing links on Southwick and decided to run with it here - because Judge Southwick is male, not female. If you had known anything about the story and/or his hearings you would know Southwick was a male. The guy has ruled on something like 7000 cases and left wing groups target 2 cases - and then distort them.

And yes, that FEMA thing is ridicolous.

i did assume someone called Leslie was a lady. my bad. i will change that. now I will clarify that is another right-wing male that is pro-racial slurs and anti-gay. i will correct that.

and the fact that i only read one article about this judge (which is true) does not change the fact that she/he is fine with racial slurs and anti-gay.

No it just illustrates that you saw it somewhere and decided to write about it even though you really didnt know anything about the cases except for maybe what you saw from the link you used.

If you actually read into the case and think that still, then okay. But knowing what you know, if you look at it objectively, then you will see he probably ruled correctly based on procedure and state law......and that is what judges are supposed to do, rule on the law, not their opinion.

Actually, its fine that i am instantly offended by the simple facts presented in the articles i read.

she/he affirmed the Mississippi State Employment Board's decision to reinstate a person that called a co-worker a good ole nigger. and the victim of the slur was greatly offended.

in my world, that employee should be fired. i don't need to look into that issue any more.

and the state procedure allowed for a firing if the slur was viewed in its disgraceful context....but southwick agreed that it was not that big of a deal.

ummm you did post on a conspiracy about 9/11 stating how you thought Rudy called off the search for survivors b/c they had recovered 230 million in gold.

Hey stupid fuck/Menchen,

I think you finally get it. It is more likely that whites are serial murderers, school shooters, and pedophiles. How this disproves what a majority of us are thinking is unclear. All you did was prove my point even more. We plead with you to quit posting.

You and the village idiot can keep living in denial.

I dont remember saying you cant be offended by it. And you can have your opinion on whether or not that person should be terminated or not, but the judges job is to rule if the law was in his judgment applied correctly not if he agrees with it.

But at least now you know some details of the case and the new 5th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge.

Chuck, any word on whether Ricky Davis will start for the Heat or be used sparingly off the bench late in games?

Sunday, 28 October, 2007  
Blogger Chuck said...

anonymous, Rudy calling off the search when he did is not a conspiracy theory. it is a fact that the search stopped just after all the financial interests were secured. that is not a conspiracy.

kyle, ricky will be scoring more than any other Cav, except for King Layup.
