Thoughts Out Of Season

Iran, considered one of the most sour-pussed countries on the face of the earth, has proposed legalizing marijuana for sale and consumption . Surprising for a country where anyone who is even suspected of having a good time is subject to public lashing. The country began considering the new law after the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei hitched a ride with 3 Dutchman driving a 1969 Volvo van after his car broke down. Upon arriving at his destination Khamenei surprised both his handlers and passerby by exiting the vehicle and exclaiming "Man it's so damn bright out here", the first time he was ever heard to speak the English language. Talks soon began in parliament which was overseen by the Grand Ayatollah while munching on a 10 piece bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. One lawmaker stood up to denounce the proposed legalization as "Un-Islamic" ( he leaves behind 12 wives, 48 children and a cockerspanial named Rocky). Things went pretty smoothly thereafter. ...

Rumors are swirling in Hades and throughout the World that President Obama invited the Dark One himself to a midnight brunch at the White House just prior to the announcement of the President's upcoming  deal with Iran. Unamed sources state a visitor arrived one night several months ago at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. He was describes as approximately 7.5 feet tall with fiery eyes and a complexion resembling a cross between Charles Manson and OJ Simpson. He and Obama spoke for approximately 3 hours before the towering visitor asked to use the bathroom. Shortly after staff heard a loud "pop" and began to smell sulfur.

One staffer, Barvetta Singletary told the assembled press " Come on. That's so stupid. Everyone knows that only head...

Does anyone find it sickening but telling example of the Conservative frame of mind when New Jersey Governor Chris Christie cuts ExxonMobil a 7 billion dollar and almost immediately turns around and refuses to fund the state's pension system? Does the hypocrisy not sicken the Hell Out of you that one of the biggest, richest companies the world is given a humongous break while retired police, firefighters, teachers who give their hearts, souls and and sometimes, their lifes to keep us safe and our children educated? There ladies and gentlemen is the GOP mindset in its full glory. So keep on supporting them, keep your ears tuned to th likes of Marc Levin, Hannity, and that fat bastard Rush as your pensions dwindle. Don't forget your pride and Marc's ideology as you decide whether Marc will put you on his shit list if you seek help, such as food stamps to feed your family. Now you wouldn't want to disappoint Me. Levin even at the expense of watching your children go to be...

It is amazing how many people I know are trying, ignorantly to justify the murder in cold blood of Walter Scott by pointing out " well, he was running away, he shouldn't have run, he should have obeyed commands". What's even funnier is that not quite a few of these people are conservatives. I point them out especially because much of their angst revolves around the intrusive role of government in our lives, how freedom is being constrained by East, West, North and South. The greatest cry is the cry of "Tyrany". But when a man is for all intensive purposes executed for the simple crime of attempting to evade arrest they come out with things like " why didn't he OBEY the officer, why didn't he do what he was told, he shouldn't have run" you get the sense what is being perpetrated is a kind of oxyMORONIC hypocrisy ( in a similar way the chant often heard at conservative meetings outside corn pastures and pigstys " federal government k...

Did the grand jury in the Eric Garner case base their decision partly on the fact that Garner was able to speak when he said "I CAN"T BREATHE?". If so than they must have had a jury of fucking imbeciles weighing whether to indict or not. I was a medic for 20 years in Harlem and treated thousands of asthmatics, for example. To a person each one had just about the same complaint, "I can't breathe". Eric Garner did not literally mean he could not, was incapable of taking a breath. It meant that he was having difficulty breathing. What should I have done when a very serious asthmatic patient looked at me and said, "Help me, I Can't breathe"?. Should I have stopped what I was doing and explain to him that since he was able to speak he was able to breathe and that I'm supposed to go home in 20 minutes so fuck off and leave me alone? Of course not! I knew he was capable of getting a breath in if he could speak, but I also knew getting that breath...

Former Washington DC Mayor Marion “Crack is Whack” Barry collapsed and died out side his home today at the surprising age of 78. You remember Mr. Barry, don’t you? He was the guy caught tooting on the crack pipe on police video in 1979 and spent 6 months in prison. Undaunted by conscience or sense of shame he again ran for office and landed a job on the City council back in 2005 to the joy of the City’s then large population of crack addicts. Barry was remembered by his longtime friend Jack “The Smoker” Johnson as a man who loved his city, its people and some white little rocks that you can buy off many of the City’s street corners. “The worst part of it all”, explained Mr. Johnson was that Barry was just starting to turn his life around. “He was just starting to turn his life around. He went down to the local high school just the other day to pick up the application for the GED. He wanted to go back to school to be a chemist”. Drugs weren’t Barry’s only addicti...
