Text of the page (random words):
34 is said to have offended two chinese people as they walked past the bar where he was singing but after one of the passers by reported his routine on sunday afternoon mr ledger was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated harassment in the uk feeling offended gives any interpreter the power of having someone else arrested rather similar to the situation down in dearborn now that i think about it h t darlene at protein wisdom posted by roug at 7 44 pm 0 comments monday april 25 2011 speculators president obama is going to get to the bottom of rising oil and gasoline prices sure he was insistent during the run up to the last election that under his energy policy that energy prices would necessarily skyrocket but that sort of incidental comment shouldn t stand in the way of some good old political posturing especially when there is an evil corporation or greedy wall street gougers to take aim at from fox news with a hat tip to cold fury shell oil company has announced it must scrap efforts to drill for oil this summer in the arctic ocean off the northern coast of alaska the decision comes following a ruling by the epa s environmental appeals board to withhold critical air permits the move has angered some in congress and triggered a flurry of legislation aimed at stripping the epa of its oil drilling oversight shell has spent five years and nearly 4 billion dollars on plans to explore for oil in the beaufort and chukchi seas the leases alone cost 2 2 billion shell vice president pete slaiby says obtaining similar air permits for a drilling operation in the gulf of mexico would take about 45 days he s especially frustrated over the appeal board s suggestion that the arctic drill would somehow be hazardous for the people who live in the area we think the issues were really not major slaiby said and clearly not impactful for the communities we work in the closest village to where shell proposed to drill is kaktovik alaska it is one of the most remote places in the united states according to the latest census the population is 245 and nearly all of the residents are alaska natives the village which is 1 square mile sits right along the shores of the beaufort sea 70 miles away from the proposed off shore drill site here shell oil has speculated in excess of 4 billion on a site that the government continues to deny access to despite pocketing a cool 2 2 billion selling the lease incidentally these represent some of the same leases that dolt progressives point to when they scoff at drill here drill now enthusiasts why open up any new areas to drilling when there are currently so many leases already leased but undeveloped while obama and company decry the evil deeds of gougers and speculators they quietly help to issue in a situation where intentionally crippled american consumers cannot afford to buy as much fuel however obvious this doesn t make a very good policy plank on which to get reelected so they need a scapegoat blame it on evil speculators if you like or blame it on hugely profitable and greedy oil giants but the historical profit margin of big oil will remain roughly the same through the entire ordeal oil speculators like airlines that must lock into fuel contracts in order to guarantee supply and the evil gouging owners of big oil such as countless public retirement funds with shell in their portfolios will forever do what they can to keep their businesses and shareholders afloat this is exactly what corporations and pooled capital funds are designed to do but this doesn t jibe with what has become the model for a good citizen of the earth the sooner that we all become good little citizens and reduce our carbon footprints the sooner we will all become content with necessary gasoline prices suck it

t overlawyered 8edited to add h t posted by roug at 12 27 pm 0 comments eight bits a buck won t buy you what it used to i remember the good old days in texas where a mere american dollar could get you a gallon of gasoline or four loaves of the hardest generic white bread ever produced armed with only a couple bucks in your wallet you knew you could still jump in the old gas guzzler travel to the nearest piggly wiggly and come home laden with two loaves and ten boxes of macaroni and cheese that the textures of the bread and the packaging of the mac cheese were roughly equivalent was of little matter to a country boy trying to cut out a life for himself in the big city alas the 99 cent gallon of gas the 25 cent loaf and the 20 cent mixed box of pasta and powdered simulated cheese food are now but historical markers of poor nourishment and higher efficiency transportation but americans should be pleased to know that these days in dearborn michigan the cornerstone of world currency is making a tremendous comeback despite inflation despite world unrest and despite advancing statism a single greenback can still buy you an inalienable and self evident natural right ah freedom one shivers at the thought of what ten bucks might garner we discovered this thrilling benchmark for eight bits last week when pastor terry jones of florida traveled to michigan to protest against both sharia law and radical islam at the doorstep of one of michigan s oldest and largest mosques while he professed to have come in peace his pilgrimage was seen in a more sinister light by dearborn s mayor wayne county prosecutor kym worthy and many local religious leaders who proclaimed that jones primary mission was to cause violence tolerance used to be a wonderful thing in the old days back say when you could pick up five eight oz yogurts for a buck tolerance meant that mature americans could and would allow differing americans to live speak worship and dress as they saw fit in the seventies and eighties it must have been hard for some rednecks to pass by a black church without launching a firebomb but somehow america with a population of over 200 000 000 with a few exceptions managed but somewhere along the line tolerance stopped meaning tolerance now tolerance has come to mean that our benevolent caretakers sometimes occupying the offices of mayor or prosecutor may run interference between varying groups to enforce an atmosphere devoid of potentially offending speech while tolerance used to demand the active attention of those who might hear words or observe lifestyles that they disagreed with now it means that those in power have the ability indeed the charge to preemptively filter out any speech that they find offensive pastor terry jones was not deemed to have said something violent or damaging on the steps of a dearborn mosque we know this because jones was not even allowed to speak prior to his intended peaceful protest he was hauled into court so that a jury could decide for him if he had intended to create violence all personal protestations aside he was found guilty by the jury and asked to post a 1 bond by the judge a trifle compared to the 100 000 peace bond originally asked for by prosecutor kym worthy there have been other juries that have found other defendants guilty for inciting violence but this is an odd twist for in those other instances it was the defendant who incited his own followers to violence by fanning the flames in this case the speaker is being held hostage by those on the other side of the issue who all but threaten violence if the guilty is allowed to speak what chilling effect does this have on free speech it is the equivalent of any one of us forming a mob that threatens to riot if we hear anything directly or rumored or see anything directly or rumored that we simply refuse to tolerate a gay couple seems interested in buying a house down the street saddle up what the constipated american justice system fears is that the ugliness of our expression might in some way result in the taking of lives in this country or overseas and that it might further damage our relationships with muslim countries and masses around the world in a woefully candid bit of language used in a manner to emphasize rather than offend i proclaim that i don t give a shit generically speaking muslims are not interlopers in this country being an american can mean to wholeheartedly bring to the american table what talents you have and the rest of us americans english spanish italian irish finn swede pole african methodist episcopal mennonite baptist well maybe not the baptists will allow you to assimilate and celebrate your inclusion together in an atmosphere of freedom we can change the world and yet this inclusion cuts both ways while existing americans will overwhelmingly welcome legal newcomers to the playground those who are new to the playground must accept certain qualities of this culture that are often misunderstood among immigrants notable among these qualities is a tolerant spirit in the traditional sense and an acceptance of inalienable god given rights as they were originally recognized by our founding fathers here we have a sizable constituency that demands others sacrifice their inalienable rights under threat of violence so that they will not have to hear something offensive and we have government officials willing to squelch our self evident rights in order to appease those fleeing the discomfort of offense in my opinion the latter group is more despicable than the former our god given rights are invaluable as such they cannot legitimately have a price tag attached to them that the good people of wayne county believe that eight bits is a reasonable price for such an offering should glaringly display to all of us just how steep a decline our country is in posted by roug at 12 23 pm 0 comments thursday april 21 2011 uncivil greedy corporations attack the children oh wait anyone who still believes it is the conservative side of the political spectrum that engages in hate filled speech is not paying any attention posted by roug at 5 29 pm 0 comments god s little acre pastor terry jones has not changed his plans to protest outside of one of michigan s oldest and largest mosques in dearborn he has been both begged to change his plans and threatened of consequences if he does not but this is not a post about terry jones and his apparent lack of operating brain cells rather this is a post about free speech and the shackles that have been placed upon it by the city of dearborn and a local prosecutor free speech with few exceptions is unmitigated in this country we do not falsely scream fire in a crowded theater because we can accurately predict the carnage that might result from people who scramble to distant exits and we do not with malice intentionally launch damaging and untrue libels and slanders at those who surround us beyond that pretty much anything else is game just a few months ago the most vile sort of free speech was upheld as being constitutional by the supreme court in an 8 1 decision in the case in question the cretinous westboro baptist church was found to be within its rights to protest at the funeral of a fallen marine carrying signs such as god hates fags and thank god for 9 11 the lowlifes tried their hardest to disrupt a somber service in which a grieving family laid their son to rest the family of matthew snyder was hurt by the protests but it was determined that the snyder family s desire to be left alone during its most tragic moments was not an adequate reason to curtail even hurtful speech on public issues to ensure that we do not stifle public debate enter pastor terry jones who plans to protest in the heart of america s largest muslim population while jones has no plans of desecrating a koran the rumor of which can cause deathly riots in multiple countries and has no plans of drawing a scandalous likeness of muhammad an unforgivable act that can kill on multiple continents he does plan on protesting against fundamentalist islam and sharia law not so fast wayne county prosecutor kym worthy has filed a petition that will be heard today in dearborn to prevent the rally from occurring while i know that prosecutor jobs are not of the single dimension variety why should any prosecutor engage in the willful prior restraint of free speech are there no crimes in detroit or elsewhere in wayne country these days worthy of a little prosecution in addition the helpful mayor of dearborn jack o reilly jr has suggested that pastor jones relocate his protest to any one of the four free speech zones that exist within the city a free speech zone is a wonderfully conceived small area in which american citizens can engage in expression with the government s permission god must be thrilled to know that the natural rights he granted to us those same rights so obviously bestowed upon us as to be considered self evident by the founding fathers are at least still worthy of being honored inside a small little acre where government officials are willing to herd their expressive
