The instruments of war have a long life:

They’re ALWAYS watching. NEVER get used to it:

A new design for a worthless coin commemorating a worthless tyrant:

“What? Obama is still alive?”

Keep the faith. There’s always hope when pigs start to fly:

Ben contemplates his bailout….

….despite rampant opposition:

Henry points to fellow Americans to bail out his buddies:

How quaint. Daddy and Mommy are going off to war. Killing for the state always takes precedence over caring for your children:

US Crusaders do the killin’ and the Iraqis do the buryin’:

The war whores are upset that billions won‘t be flying their way:

Time to put Algore in his place:

Dead (non-American) children are no longer considered relevant to US crusaders:

There’s nothing more entertaining than watching a state tyrant caught with his pants down:

The Emperor pleads for still more Hispanic bodies to fight his wars. He‘s working hard, selling them on the romance of killing:

The demonic force meets the immovable force:

It’s party time:

A war criminal’s hands can never be cleaned:

The “new” Abe is just as ugly and even more worthless:

Johnny Mac claims he can run the world but seems incapable of combing his own hair:

Those ballots look heavy. Why not just vote with your feet and your money?

Tibetans resist the occupying Chinese thugs. Will wimpy Amerikans ever show the same courage to resist their occupiers?

The Emperor greets one of the few with a comparable resume:

People are wetting themselves about seeing Obama. Will they touch his robe?

Bush finds his place on the backside of the bush. Is this a preview of his place in history?

Hillary works hard in Wisconsin but winds up cutting the cheese:

Fidel puts himself out to pasture:

Coming soon to your neighborhood:

Gun Free zones create still more grief:

All the sheep are psyched about the big Texas showdown. Who has the most vicious thugs in their gang- the Dixie Mafia or the Chicago Mafia?

Another child abandoned to serve the needs of the state.  Who’s your daddy?

In the US, The Man prefers the taser. In the occupied Palestinian territories, it’s the rubber bullet:

The Empire’s embassy goes up in flames. Maybe the event will inspire a repeat of history:

B.O. is getting grief about “authorship issues.” I guess he has at least one thing in common with MLK:

No goat book? What will he talk about………..?

………..Ah, now we’re back in familiar territory. The Emperor offers us the first book to be shelved in his new library:

Man, you know times are tough when the government-privileged phone cartel starts biting the hand that protects it:

“Late payments have resulted in telecommunications carriers actually disconnecting phone lines established to deliver surveillance results to the FBI, resulting in lost evidence, including an instance where delivery of intercept information required by a … FISA order was halted due to untimely payment,” the audit said. 

I know this will shock you dear reader, but it appears that the reason the Feds fell behind on their phone bills is that one of the law enforcement bureaucrats dipped his hands in the till to the tune of $25,000.

That’s the kind of government corruption we need more of. Every good upstanding American should give him (or her) a great big wet kiss on the lips! Job well done!

Climate Change Kooks reach new heights of buffoonery:

Doing what comes natural. Dogs love to fight- so why is Michael Vick going to jail for disposing of his own property? Thanks to the state, they wind up dead, anyway.

US soldier boys miss the target. Let’s see if robots can be more effective killers:

 Is that a bottle in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

The Man takes aim at ghetto monkeys. A lack of self-respect may not survive the new War on Fashion:

The Turd Blossom has a good laugh. Too bad his victims can’t share the mirth:

Maybe Lewd Larry is just a frustrated tap dancer:

Many leave their children in the hands of the state. It‘s so much easier than being a parent:

We need signs to ask mothers not to throw their babies in the trash:

Two war criminals reminisce:

Alberto Gonzalez prepares to choke on the truth:

Bono, leading state apologist, branch hacker, and promoter of theft and tyranny, is rewarded by the Master he serves:

Chief Karl Rove shows off his perpetual-war dance:

The stench of death is a constant in Iraq:

It all depends upon your point of reference:

A graphic representation of the latest U.S. Federal government budget:

When the empire finally falls, a massive cleanup awaits in the DC swamp:

“Please forgive me for my $30,000 per month carbon footprint. Please do as I say, not as I do.”

“Just who are these people I‘ll be killing?”:

A credit card scandal in Dallas public schools has been in the news recently, with reports of millions of dollars flagrantly charged up on credit cards issued to principals and others in the school district.

“I think for the most part they have to satisfy the public, and somebody big has got to go,” says one arrogant principal who managed to charge up close to a quarter million dollars, with purchases including several flat screen TVs. Another scam-artist principal managed to charge up even more, including purchases for wedding ribbons.

Even if all of these purchases were for legitimate in-school use (doubtful), it’s very questionable to give people a free rein to buy whatever they deem prudent. It’s idiotic, once you’ve put such a program in place, to not track what’s really going on. I think most sensible businesses establish some notion of a “budget” to control this sort of fraud and abuse.

At least in the private sector, these schmucks would likely be out of a job, and would probably be required to pay back the money. But one woman who admitted guilt was only placed on administrative leave–not even fired (yet)!

I’ve seen nothing in the various stories that suggest this money will ever be paid back (I might have missed it). My suspicion is that taxpayers, as usual, will be forced to foot the bill for the theft, waste, and fraud perpetrated by government employees.

Caught this in today’s Chicago Sun-Times:

PENSACOLA, Fla. — A teenager who sued the city after claiming a police officer forced her to do jumping jacks while topless has reached a $35,000 settlement, officials said.

Officer Shawn Patrick Shields found the girl, then 16, and a 19-year-old man together in a parked car. Shields told them he could arrest them for lewd behavior, authorities said. The girl said Shields had her perform five topless jumping jacks as he shone his flashlight on her.

One of Pensacola’s fine public servants forces a teenage girl into bringing his Girls Gone Wild fantasies to life, and the city’s taxpayers are the ones forced to make restitution to the gal. American justice in action.

Hope they at least fired the sick, cro magnon s.o.b.
