I stumbled across an article today detailing how an 86 year old disabled woman was abused and Tasered by her local police department. Personally I think each of those officers should be castrated and keelhauled. This behavior is completely disgraceful and just goes to further show how out of control government agents are. That TSA story is not the first story I have heard of incidents like that. My father-in-law is a below the knee amputee and has similar stories.

They have absolutely no respect because there is no accountability. They are protected and shielded from their abuses. If someone attempts to protect themselves from the abuse they further use their power to disrupt their life until their objective is achieved. I would like to note, they appear to overstep their bounds when victims are least likely to be able to properly defend themselves.

If they physically abuse someone who was having a possible medical emergency where does it stop?

Thanks to Allen over at SnarkyBytes I discovered this little jewel.

I have been screaming for a long time that No-Knock warrants need to disappear. The blue flags don't anger me unlike the rest of them. I consider the blue flags karma. It's the red, grey, and black why they should be ceased IMMEDIATELY.

Uh oh, the egg toss is gonna cause a divorce.

This was the announcer's response to a couple play arguing after the husband missed the egg tossed by the wife at Genesee Community Days yesterday.

Way to punish the innovative minds, tax them so big dumb, bloated companies don't have to move with the times. That'll make everything better.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is considering several ways to help the struggling newspaper industry, but Americans strongly reject several proposed taxes to keep privately-owned newspapers going.

Ohh, wait, it's unfair that the newspapers are struggling. We should just squelch what's new so what is outdated, but familiar, can continue on. Communism ringing any bells?

Seventy-one percent (71%) oppose the creation of a taxpayer-funded program that would hire and pay young reporters to work for newspapers around the country.  Fourteen percent (14%) support such a program, while 15% are undecided.

Do I hear redistribution of wealth? A taxpayer-funded program that would give people money instead of them making it for themselves, is that what I'm hearing?

I discovered late last week there was going to be a car show in Palouse yesterday. Being the amature photographer and absolutely loving classic cars I decided I would pay a visit. I took over 1000 pictures (literally) over the course of the day.

I spent all day today processing what I could and working on the photo gallery. While most would say just post all 1000 photos, thing is a lot of them are three shot brackets for HDR work. Also each weights about 10 megs a piece since they're in raw format so I still have to process them to make them smaller and in a publicly useable format. If you had a vehicle at the car show, and you see a picture of it in the Gallery feel free to contact me. I would love to update the info with your exact year and model and put any other info you'd like.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said on Wednesday that Dr. Donald Berwick, an advocate of health-care rationing nominated by President Barack Obama to run Medicare and Medicaid, is "absolutely the right leader at this time" to run the government's largest health-care entitlement programs.

So, someone who advocates rationing health care and who really likes the National Health Service of the UK has been chosen by Obama to run Medicare and Medicaid. Anyone see a problem with that?

In a talk he delivered in England in 2008 to mark the 60th birthday of Great Britain's National Health Service, the bureaucracy that runs that country's single-payer health care system, Berwick told the British that he loved their system. ""Cynics beware," he said. "I am romantic about the National Health Service; I love it."

When asked if Sebelius agrees with the following statement, she skirts around the actual question and then says she answered it when probed further for an answer.
