Merry Christmas From Rose Medical in Richmond Virginia.

This is what to expect for one night in the hospital when you don't have health insurance in "the best country in the world."
I can't even fucking imagine.

Jon Stweart Sabotages Political Hopeful Jon Huntsman and Sicks a bunch of Crazed 'Mad Men' Twitter fans on him via Hashtag.

Well played, Sir.

I Hope my American Friends Had a Fabulous Thanksgiving.

Yes.
She did just say that.

Beware of Photoshop, you guys. While Occupy Wallstreet is a very prominent cause, don't believe everything you see.

OCCUPY WALLSTREET: The War on Terror Looks Better on Us, Don't You Think?

The police actually directed the protesters to the bridge and once there, arrested them en masse. Kind of like the G20's "Free Speech" zone. Tell them it's OK to go there, then "kettle". This is what our democracy now looks like:

Apparently, if you want the real story, you can read some articles in the British Site Mail Online, which is the only publication that has bothered reporting on this story at all since it's inception three weeks ago. Even the CBC reported that:

"protesters swarm Brooklyn Bridge..."

That didn't happen. There are many video streams that clearly show the police herding them onto the bridge like cattle. The reporting that has been done on this story will be a clear litmus test to the integrity and professionalism our journalists still possess.




From what I have seen, the police have been more of a danger than the protesters, but the news outlets have made sure that most of the videos have been deleted from YouTube, the stories are covered with bias, and the evidence has been discarded.

Nothing to see here.  Clearly.

First ‘official’ statement from the Occupy Wall Street movement.

FIRST OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE OCCUPY WALLSTREET MOVEMENT.

As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.
As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.
They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.
They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.
They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one’s skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.
They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.
They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless nonhuman animals, and actively hide these practices.
They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.
They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.
They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay.
They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.
They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.
They have sold our privacy as a commodity.
They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.
They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.
They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.
They have donated large sums of money to politicians supposed to be regulating them.
They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.
They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people’s lives in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantive profit.
They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.
They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.
They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.
They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.
They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.
They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts.*
To the people of the world,
We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.
Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.
To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.

Back off, Ladies...

Chillaxin' with Jesus.

Because I Never Learn.

It's like I WANT another Republican to report me.
Again.
And get me kicked off facebook.
Again.

UPDATE:

Yes. Your world would be a much safer place for you and your children if the British actors all LEFT THE HOLLYWOOD MOVIE SETS THAT YOU COMPLAINED CANADA WAS STEALING FROM YOU DUE TO CHEAP LABOUR. Make up your mind- do you want people generating money in your country or do you want them to get the fuck out? I'm pretty sure they aren't stealing your screenplay writer job that you were driving for. These people make my teeth hurt. It is such blatant racism and bigotry shrouded in a cloak of bad political arguments.

Arizona police officer executes man for telling him a warrant is needed.

In the police officer's defense, the man wasn't white and that's a crime in Arizona now, is it not?
