A US Federal judge has ruled that Captain Codpiece's evil minions are not above the law but as the Imperial argument has been that judges have no role in deciding the issue I can't see how it will come to much. His Imperial Majesty George the Last will simply ignore it one would think.

"Recession? We don't see no stinking recession!"
If you were an energy company yesterday was a very good day indeed! British Gas announced first half profits of just under £1 billion and then stuck up two fingers at the British consumer by announcing a 35% price hike. Then Royal Dutch Shell said "hey - things are OK by us" and ExxonMobil, well what can one say about ExxonMobil.
Clearly all of these companies much have exemplary management teams to manage to do so well when times are so difficult economically!

"Hasta la vista Yanqui"
Clearly Ecuador is just begging to get invaded. How else to explain the country's incredibly irrational decision to evict the US military from its airbase at Manta?
1,000 reasons John McCain shouldn't be President
Number 69: the following is presented without comment.
A patriotic pause
I pledge allegiance to the Surge of the United States of America
and to the Repuli-cons for which it stands
one Empire under (a white, male, narcissistic) God
indivisible with no Liberty and Justice at all.
With God's blessing
Some members of the Christian right wing in America are upset with evangelical Rick Warren for deciding to fight for peace and against poverty. According to one Tom McMahon war and poverty are Biblically acceptable and Reverend Warren should be spending his time promoting homophobia and suppressing women's rights. He may have a point as long as he is only reading Leviticus.

"I told you not to fuck me Tony"
Why, oh why does Ecuador hate freedom so much that they would dare to insist that their national sovereignty outweighs the "right" of Chevron to make ever more obscene profits?
Would you like ice with that?
It is a bloody good thing that global warming is myth cooked up by Al Gore to enable him to win an undeserved Oscar AND an undeserved Nobel Prize because if it were not this would be most worrisome.
Lying in the defense of Captain Codpiece and other Republican cunts freedom
Surely this is a violation of the standards expected a US military officer that warrants Captain Porter's dishonourable discharge,. Right?
1,000 reasons John McCain shouldn't be President
Number 68: his shadow and loyal supporter Senator Joe Lieberman (Republi-dent - CT) is, in addition to being a complete and utter twat, a terrorist enabler!
In which I predict that...
...should the Karl Rove contempt citation ever lead to an arrest and a perp walk that the video of said arrest will be YouTube's most viewed ever by several orders of magnitude! (Please let it happen, please, please, please!!!!)
Lie back and think of religious freedom
The patently absurd proposals of right wing politicians in America that (their kind of) Christians, who have taken up a career prohibited by their understanding of their religion, should be allowed to pick and chose which aspects of care they provide to those in their care will see rape victims raped twice.
As long as the bill will allow Quakers to seek employment in the defense industry and then refuse to work on weapons systems and Jews and Muslims to take up work in pig slaughterhouse and then refuse to have anything to do with the pigs I reckon is OK. I wonder if Scientologist pharmacists be able to refuse to dispense anti-depressants as well.

Number 67: his wife is soon to be "earning" her considerable income as a Budweiser toting Communist fifth columnist!
Whatever happened to rights coming with responsibilities?
A Georgia man was arrested and held for more than half a day because he left his hand gun lying on his bed in his hotel room; when he wasn't there. He was arrested because the hotel he was staying in belonged to the University of Georgia which means it is a "safety zone", whatever the hell that means in Georgia. There is no mention that he should be locked up, and the key thrown away, for leaving an unsecured weapons lying around in a semi-public space. If that isn't a fucking crime in Georgia the bloody legislature needs to get to work!
And grown men wept
The imposition of unfettered free market policies in conjunction with years of near anarchy, supported by the administrations of both Bill Clinton and Captain Codpiece, and soaring world food prices means many in Haiti are reduced to eating mud. Yes. Mud. It makes me feel good all over.
Today in Schadenfreude
The uncrowned King of Pork and Earmarks, Alaska's Senator Ted Stevens, is finally indicted seven counts of being Ted Stevens.

"Whatever you do don't mention the CIA...
...I did it once and I'm still stuck at the Guantánamo Bay Beach and Leisure Club.
Log Cabin Republicans need not apply
Under the brutally efficient regime of Monica Goodling at the US Department of (In)Justice not only did one have to be loyal, rabid, right wing Republican to get or keep a job one had to be straight too! I'll bet that we eventually find out that one had to be right handed as well.
In which I personally support the troops...
...now that they've told "I'm a Big" Dick Cheney to go fuck off after his security demands including locking a bunch of injured war veterans with prosthetic limbs, who curiously include zero members of the "our priorities are elsewhere" Cheney clan, in a room for two hours before His Heartless Eminence arrived and prevented them from leaving before he finished speaking.
Well done lads!
Well done lads!
Bush adminstration accuses itself of breaking the law...
...and for some reason the American broadcast media failed to notice. I imagine they're waiting for the indictments that will never come.
It's a record!
Captain Codpiece and his evil minions are (apparently less than) proud to announce the nation's biggest ever deficit at $490 billion, or just over $1600 for every man woman and child in the country; especially the children.
Even better this number does not include the cost of the war in Iraq. This is like working out one's net worth without including the cost of your mortgage; we'd all be much richer that way. Of course it probably is just good business practice to keep one's illegal activities in a separate, and easily shreddable, set of books!

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times
After six years of the inept reign of His Imperial Highness Emperor George the Last it is good to know that he has done well by a least a small percentage of the population as America's richest 1% grab the largest share of American income since 1929 and what a year that was! At the same time their tax rate has fallen to the lowest level in nearly two decades. The other 99% aren't doing nearly as well.
Imagine if you will
Imagine that a Muslim had launched a gun attack on an American church because of it's religious beliefs. The rabidly right wing American press, bravely led by Rupert Murdoch's Faux News would be screaming about the terror attack on American soil. Curiously however when a white Christian gunman attacks an American church because of its religious views the word "terror" barely gets a mention. I am sure that this does not represent, in any way, a double standard.
Oh, and if they had found even one page of writing by anyone to the left of centre the pundits would be decrying the "politics of hate" and demanding their imprisonment. However when it turns out the suspect is a fan of extreme right wing TV "journalists" again hardly a mention.
I am certain that there is a logical explanation!

Attack of the K Street tomatoes
Remember those pesky salmonella tainted tomatoes not so long ago. You remember, the ones no one has as yet figured out where they came from. Well it seems that the reason non one has as yet figured out where they came from is due to the unstinting efforts of highly paid lobbyists for the food industry who wanted to make sure no one could know where they came from reduce unnecessary and costly paperwork.

Number 65: deep down he really won't support the troops.
