This was a sad weekend for comedy writers, Sarah Palin resigned in Alaska. For a final laugh, she did give us a farewell speech that may live on for many years to come, in late night television.

As always, Sarah puts on a confusing show with too many words that no one but Todd can figure out.

“ Hollywood needs to know, we eat, therefore we hunt.“…  ahh Sarah, debate was over wolves, not sure who eats wolves.

“the cold though, doesn’t it split the Cheechakos from the Sourdoughs? And then in the summertime such extreme summertime about a hundred and fifty degrees hotter than just some months ago, than just some months from now” WTF is she trying to say?

What The hell is this crazy bitch thinking? Really now…. She goes on TV talking about Thanksgiving and her Turkey pardon while standing in a pool of turkey blood during an execution by beheading of the turkey’s family.

Now, did she really pardon some poor turkey or was it all a publicity stunt gone redneck? we’ll never know I guess.

Isn’t this just a plain dumb thing to do during a Turkey Pardon… not for Sarah I guess.

Check out the Palin Pardon Video with a blood soaked backdrop and a bird losing his head a few feet away… sick shit and yes, a gross video for sure…. GROSS STUPIDITY or just gross video.

I really need to stay away from reading the latest about the California Governator and his prison budgets… cuz, it really pisses me off! In a way, I really wanna know what is going on with our money, but then when I find out, I just get upset because its jacked and there seems to be little anyone can do to relieve popular hysteria that is allowing the large prison unions to suck us all dry.

The California Parole system is broken, but it is broken for a good reason, to line the pockets of the correction system unions with 6 figure salaries, people who would only be qualified to work at Jack-in-the-crack without them. I mean, you need tons of people to get tons in overtime and they make sure getting tons of people is no problem. Civil rights? hell, they got trumped by 100k+ salaries to idiots who flunked out of pre-school.

Seriously, the California prison system is one of the largest on the planet with the highest rate of paperwork and parole violators on the planet to match. The Governator just asked for billions more to build more California prisons so California can hire more cousins as guards and give people prison time on their parking tickets so more guards can buy those gas guzzling Hummers they seem to love. Hell, almost makes you wish you were related to a California prison guard, no need for education or even 1/2 a braincell, they take care of their own, ya know.

There is a family I know, if it wasn’t for the correction officer union they would all be on welfare and there is over a dozen of em. They make me sick, always saying how great it is to be able to vote for your own raises and be able to hire all your friends and family. Yep, they claim they vote on whether to get a raise or not… ahh, let me think about that one… “I vote not. California is in a budget crisis ya know… my new Maseratti can wait! DUHHH!”

The sad fact is that the California parole board makes it very hard for parolees to NOT get violated. Getting pulled over for a traffic ticket may get you a year and 3 years of parole no matter what the original sentence, is mandatory. Many people do more time on violations than the original offense, keeping the union fat and happy.

Many parolees are forced into crazy restrictions, even though they are now “free”. I just saw a story about a block of houses in the ghetto. It seems that the parole officers are FORCING the parolees to live there. Once there, they are not allowed to get back to work and are made to file for welfare, whether they want to or not. The welfare is to pay for the housing and the fleet of BMW’s (and all the gold teeth) the cousin, sorry, I mean the home owner wants.

They stack bunk beds 10 deep in the bedrooms and force the “free” men to stay there and pay rent with the welfare money that gets sent directly to the cousin, sorry, the homeowner. If the men have a home and a job to go to and actually leave… well, it’s a violation and another year in prison.

I talked to this kid, he was about 21, he told me he refused to go on welfare, he said he had a wife and child to take care of and if he did the welfare, they would take it out of HER paychecks from work (his wife), he was actually allowed to work (after many complaint letters) and tried to work but the job was 50 miles away from house and it took 2 hours on a bus to get to work. He said they refused to allow him to live closer to his job, seems it was just too much paperwork. Anyway, he is now back in prison because he was late coming back twice… 2 to 3 hours late… Once because of the bus and once because his boss needed some overtime. His wife and child? well, seems their home is now in foreclosure because she just can not pay all the bills alone. Child support? she gets none because “cousin” takes the welfare check. He needs a few more 140″ flat panel plasma tv’s, to give as gifts to the union members that set him up, fat, collecting welfare checks for 30 fools living in his 3 bedroom house. All thanks to the Governator and the State of California!

Here is a quote regarding this issue..

Whoa! Take a deep breath for a minute. I happen to be a Correctional Officer in a state institution that holds about 7200 inmates. I must say (and I am a progressive) that you don’t want these men back on the streets. Many can barely read, don’t have a work ethich other than selling dope, and are prone to violence. God knows what people are capable of doing while under the influence. Be careful what you pray for, you just may get it…

Funny how “ethic” is mis-spelled above from the original quote. That attitude sums us the California budget crisis in regards to the bloated prison population. “God forbid that someone who can not read, be taught how to read, hey, they would then be able to read the paperwork, point out the mis-spellings and maybe some other bullshit being spread on taxpayers.

Just throw them into the bottomless hole where they belong and do everything possible to keep them there for years after the original sentence was completed, drain dry the struggling taxpaying families, schools and social programs to lock up as many people as possible for as long as possible “. Speaking about being prone to violence… I saw some news piece some time back about the Corcoran prison guards who were setting up prison fights to the death for the sake of their own entertainment and gambling… Does that qualify as violent? Criminal sentencing needs to stay where it belongs, with the justice system, NOT the labor unions and their kin.
Unrealistic parole rules set as a blanket, regardless of the individual situation is insane. What is sick ass shit is that the only reason they make it impossible for the parolee’s to get back into society, work and family is to make sure the prisons stay FULL. Without full prisons, there would be no need for tons of overtime! It sickens me that every other state wants parolees to get to work and become self-sufficient while California forces them into insane conditions, all set up to bring them back into prison for the 3 years! WTF Taxpayers? We need school books NOT welfare for parolees that are not allowed to work.

Crazy thing is, that 21 year old kid also said that he tried smoking crack at the house for the first time ever(he was not into drugs, he went to prison over a stupid drunken braw). He said everyone is so bored that all there is left to do is dope. Thats great, my 28% of income tax is going into starting some kids drug problem and keeping up the neighborhood’s crack house. GO GO Governator!

wanna know more about the governator Arnie and the california budget due to intentional prison overcrowding to make a few rich? read this article about how much money California may waste as our school children lack the funds needed for things like…. books

This sums it all up, comment from another article about needing billions more yearly to build more prisons..

I find California’s prison system to be a “MONEY PIT”. And until they revise the Sentensing process and Parole System and get these parts out of the hands of the Prison Unions their will never be an answer. California has turned the Fox Loose in the Hen house.

Bro, the Union’s foxes seem to have penned up not just the hens, but every rooster, turkey and pigeon for their pluckings.

Making money hand over fist and still taking..

People need to be more educated in the real reason why more prison are being build. I college student and my research has been on the Prison Industrial Compex. PRISONS ARE THE NEW SLAVE TRADE. Fortune 500 and multi-billion dollar corporations such as McDonalds, Microsoft, Boeing, Sprint, Compaq, Toys R Us, and Revlon and Victoria ’s Secret use prison labor for packing, telemarketing, and manufacturing. Hattery, Angela and Smith, Earl. (2006) The prison industrial complex. Sociation Today, 4 (2).

Wow, I thought slavery was outlawed long ago, guess I was wrong… you can always use some more slaves, especially when you can charge taxpayers to keep them without them ever being the wiser.

The luxurious California prison medical care system, just sick shit or sick ass luxury… you decide.

This next comment is taken from another site regarding the California, Fox in the Hen House Prison System. The writer claims to be a correctional Union employee and is discussing the luxurious medical care for inmates and unnecessary treatment such as… CPR.

I work in a California prison. Perhaps you should see how egregiously Californians are paying for the healthcare of these criminals where simply poor people, victims’ families, and even veterans lack comparable healthcare. (this fool is too dumb to even realize THATS THE POINT!)
These inmates get medical care that is far beyond what would be considered necessary. Unfortunately, prison doctors have to approve of these unnecessary treatments due to the ever present threat of law suits by opportunistic groups like the PRISON LAW OFFICE (www.prisonlaw.com), who have dedicated their work to the sheer welfare of rapists and murderers.
Unfortunately, it is only the occasional random deaths of inmates that the public hears about. Most Californians are shocked to find out that inmates get any healthcare, let alone the luxury kind that they get. Most prison employees like me, after they start working inside a prison, get amazed at the luxurious and great medical services the inmates get. If you have never spent time in a prison, you would not know this.
Tax-payers should find out about all the lotions, creams, dandruff shampoos, and moisturizers that these inmates get in the guise of medical care. They should find out about the thousands of inmates that get corrective minor surgery to their knees or shoulders (at 30,000 a surgery) for an injury that happened to them, say 20 years ago outside, but never bothered to fix - the kind of surgery that a pro athlete gets for improving his play. They should find out about the $20,000 nose jobs they get for a minor nasal septal deviation that happened to them 40 years ago as a child. California tax-payers should find out about thousands of inmates that get sophisticated radiology tests such as MRIs (at $3000 per MRI) for back, knee, or shoulder pain, which they fake in order to get special accommodations (like a bottom bunk which means a status symbol among prisoners). These are just examples of egregious extravagances that California tax-payers have to cover for their prisoners. If Californians were informed by the media about such things, they would write their legislators and force them to take a tougher stance against this wasteful insanity

The prison population has stolen the clause “Cruel and Unusual Punishment” out of its context of severe punishments over 200 years ago, to dupe the people of this state and country into giving them the luxuries of life inside America’s Prisons. No wonder, over 70% of prison inmates are in there for not the first time. If prison had maintained its original meaning of a punishing environment, you would think more of them, having been there once, would do anything not to go back. Most career criminals in this state do not fear prison, and in fact look forward to being there.
Sure, give them life-saving treatment and treatment that would prevent major illness, pain and suffering, but you have to draw the line somewhere. Only a well-informed public could do this, through contacting their law-makers and fighting this at the Federal level, which is what is forcing California now to pay dearly. Last year, the State spent more than $7000 per inmate’s healthcare! In comparison it spent less than $3500 per employee for state employees who are entitled to full medical benefits through their jobs.

Last month, a report by the Pew Center on the States came out that right now a record 1 in 100 Americans are in prison (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23392251). They cited reasons such as high crime rate, tougher laws, etc. But a very important reason was the higher recidivism (parole violations, like needing to go to work, parking tickets, etc..). Most inmates in California’s prisons, about 75% are there not for the first time. (again, that is the point!).

This is partly because inmates have managed to make prison a much more pleasant place, (would this individual care to stay in such pleasant conditions also?) than say 50 years ago, when prison was still considered punishment. It is really time for the Supreme Court to draw a line on how civil lawyers can abuse the 8th amendment for its ban on “cruel and unusual punishment”. Many inmates are using this clause to win the comforts and luxuries of outside life behind bars, really taking away the punishment factor out of prison. Prison should have a rehabilitative factor. However, a good part of this factor is contributed by its corrective and punishment elements. Purely rehabilitative services should be reserved for those who have destroyed only their own lives. Punishment should still be part of the action applied to those who have destroyed other people’s lives. Civil attorneys on behalf of inmates will try to make people forget about this, and want to make prison’s purpose only a rehabilitative one.
Money hungry lawyers and uninformed activist groups and judges (like Tilton Henderson) have strived to make prison a pleasant place in this country, in some instances almost like a country spa or at least an all-inclusive motel. The good, law-abiding citizens of this state are in a lose-lose battle with the criminals, gangs, rapists, and murderers. These elements are either in free society victimizing free people, or inside luxury prisons costing them billions of dollars. Only a well-informed public and their representatives can put a stop to this debauchery. Perhaps an independent review of the scale of prison medical services can help the public and politicians by giving them the ammunition needed in their battle against activist judges and lawyers, in keeping society safe without bankrupting the State treasury

Now for the pleasantries and top notch care.

A bit back an elderly man died. He was on a tier that had some problem and everyone was forced out of the cells and to stand against a wall for hours. After an hour he complained that he felt dizzy and “not right”. The luxurious medical staff was not called and after he tried to sit on the floor the luxurious guard forced him back up, when another inmate tried to help and held him up, he was punished for attempting to hold up an old man.

Some time later the elderly mans knees buckled and he fell to the floor. The luxurious boot of the guard kicked him in the side to get up. The man struggled and fell again. In the luxury of it all he layed on the floor for 10 to 15 more minutes (the guards were being kind in letting the elderly human rest on the concrete). After his “rest period” was over, he got another jab from the luxurious boot. This time, he did not move. The luxurious guards now called for the luxury of a nurse. Twenty minutes later the luxury of the nurse was seen as she walked over and kicked the man again… still no movement.

The luxurious stretcher was brought down and the man was taken to the luxurious medical ward. Too bad he had died from a heart attack after suffering over 2 hours of shear luxury. It took over an hour from when he collapsed to get a luxurious medical staff member to even look, by then, he had died.
I do agree that the prison medical budget is bloated… maybe if they would stop sending people to prison for traffic infractions, dirty looks, jaywalking and other violation nonsense, the luxury medical center would become a bit cheaper.

I know a woman who is in luxury conditions today on a parole violation. Her ex-husband has 28 charges for domestic violence with a dozen convictions from 2 marriages. They had children and after he was arrested again for beating the wife, kid and dog, he was no longer allowed to see his child. She allowed him to, was caught and went to prison for child endangerment (he has never spent a day in prison with 28 arrests for beating women).

She got paroled, got the kid and a restraining order against him. He tracked her down, created a scene at her home when she did not allow him in. Because the police were called by the neighbors due to him screaming in the yard and throwing things at her house they both got arrested (she was taken in without any charge for a parole hold because police were involved). He was let go in an hour and she got 1 year as a parole violation for doing nothing other than not allowing him in and getting police attention. Her kids are now being taken care of by her roommate, a male friend who has no clue as to what to do with a baby… hopefully, he is learning. She lost her job, her car, her child and her freedom for a violation she had zero control over. Sounds about right for California. Maybe she can get some of that luxury treatment while there.

In the not to luxurious world of county clinics and paramedics, it takes less than 5 minutes to get care after calling 911. I guess luxury takes a lot of time. Seems luxury service goes unappreciated by the family members as they always sue after such luxury and hospitality as grandpa dying for lack of attention.

This man did not get the death penalty, he was simply someone’s elderly grandpa serving 6 months for driving without a license (too many times) after it got revoked. In the luxurious world of the prison union, he got top notch medical care… to bad it was postmortem.

The author claims that the so called “rapists and murderers” are sitting in the lap of luxury and people keep complaining about such nonsense as overcrowding. Last I heard the prison population in California was over 170k. Now if they are all serial murderers, there really should not be anyone left alive in the state. The majority of the prison population is actually non-violent crimes, drug offenders, petty thieves, drunk drivers and parole violators guilty of crimes of paperwork, missed phone calls and the very popular fuck you response to parole officers.

Speaking of luxury service, there was that lady who died on the floor of the county hospital after waiting over 24 hours sitting in a chair to be admitted, finally, falling out of the chair and dying. The security came over sometime later and kicked her (the sick lady) to get up into her chair. It was hours before they realized she was DEAD. The excuse was… they had no clue because sick patients lie down on the floor all the time after the 48 hour wait. WTF? However… California politics feels it needs 18 billion or whatever it is for new prisons and NOT more hospitals (CA has been closing hospitals in the last decade). Glad we have the priorities straight and the unions are getting rich while the sick and poor keep dying in the lobby of our luxurious medical centers.

What the f@ck are these fools thinking in Texas? Not sure if this is real or fake, but it sounds about right for some of the thinking in that neighborhood.
I read today that the Texas GOB(Good Ole Boys) had a GOP meeting and had made these lovely pins asking the ridiculous question. I gotta admit, with some of the political intelligence that has come from the great state of Texas (GWB and friends), I can understand their confusion.

I have a better question to the GOP. Do you fools REALLY fund that shit or better yet, accept money from the hicks who dared even participate in that meeting? Scratch that, I already know the answer.

Those nutty Russians show the world they have the balls to express how they really feel.

Gary Kasparov press conference gets interrupted by a dickhead, seriously. Yep, they made a very literal statement with this prank.

During a rally staged by Kremlin critics, some pro-kremlin supporters pulled a stunt. They launched a flying penis across the room. The rest is pure sick comedy as people try to catch the pranksters “don’t be a big dick” chopper. I guess the prank got the results they hoped for. For a minute all cameras and eyeballs left the speaker for the amazing sight of a game of “catch the flying cock”. Funny thing is, everyone starred, but was hesitant to lose dignity in actually trying to catch it. Finally a brave man steps up, swats it like a fly and plays the cool hero.

Priceless.

Reading this, I really gotta say WTF?

Normally, I am on the other side of debates such as this, but this is ridiculous. Racial profiling or common sense? If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck and looks like a duck… it must be a duck. right?

I am absolutely disgusted with this and even more disgusted with how every minority group now seems to scream “racism” when one of them is arrested doing something wrong.

The southern Russian republic of Chechnya - surrounded on nearly all sides by Russian territory but also shares with neighbouring Georgia a remote border high in the Caucasus mountains.

The territory is rich in oil and has a population of about 1 million. Chechnya has two religions, Muslim and Christianity and has seen two wars within a little over a decade. The area is known for its organized crime, warlords and rebel factions.

The rebels have sworn another so called holy war against Russian dominion. The region is said to have had civilian casualties of 50k to 100k in the decade of war.
