“Hello. My name is Ed Snowden. A little over one month ago, I had family,
a home in paradise, and I lived in great comfort." But then I saw a chance
to get famous and, without thinking, I threw it all away for 15 minutes of fame.
-- Edward Snowden, wishing he could turn back time like Cher, Link

Snowden wants Russia asylum, lawmaker says
Nothing says "freedom" like Mother Russia
Link
Edward Snowden wants asylum in Russia and is willing to stop sharing information as a trade-off
for such a deal, according to a parliament member who met with him Friday.
Snowden appeared in good health during the meeting behind closed doors in the airport
where he's been marooned for weeks, Duma member Vyacheslav Nikonov told reporters.
Putin's spokesman said that Russia has not yet received a new bid for asylum from Snowden
and that Putin would continue with his insistence that Snowden stop leaking information.
Both Nikonov and Genri Reznik, a lawyer at the meeting, said Snowden was willing to stop leaks.
"He said he was informed of this condition and that he can easily accept it. He does not intend to
damage the United States' interests given that he is a patriot of his country," Nikonov said.
Can Snowden get a job anywhere?
Who will hire a guy who's world-famous for back-stabbing his employer and his country?
He traded life in Hawaii for life in some third-world country.
Good move, Einstein.

Zimmerman said, "These assholes, they always get away."
One of the biggest assholes of the century is George Zimmerman himself, and being as
he was somehow acquitted, it seems he was correct about assholes getting away.

Bush bastards make another run at power
Link
Returning from the margins of American politics, the Bush family is reasserting itself.
This week, Monkey Bush surfaced from a self-imposed political exile to prod reluctant Republicans
toward a broad immigration overhaul - which went over like a led balloon.
His brother, crooked Jeb Bush, has written a book on immigration reform and that was even
less popular than Monkey's immigration comments. They say Jeb is keeping the door open
to his own presidential run in 2016.
And Pee Bush, Jeb's oldest son, is running for statewide office in rich, white Texas.
They say Der Monkey's approval is nearly 50 percent, these days.
I guess the hole he left us in wasn't really that deep.
On Big Brother this year, the Republicans in the house are super-racist.
Several of them have been fired from their jobs, but they don't know it yet because
they are isolated and have no idea they have become America's most hated.
We tried watching BB last night with Twitter and that was a trip.
The tweets are hysterical but they come in a dozen every second.
I can read at 90 MPH but that's too fast even for me.
Subject: Control the Internet - Control the World
A lot of people are talking about their privacy concerns regarding the NSA spying.
They are trying to justify it saying, "Would you rather give some privacy or have terrorists murder your family?"
And as we all know the NSA has ruined phone sex for everyone on the planet.
But the NSA spying isn't about privacy, it's about world domination. With everything so dependent on the web
these days if you rule the internet you rule the world. And that is what is really going on. America has already been hacked.
We are now run by secret courts making secret decisions. Rule of law and transparent government no longer exists.
The NSA can push updates into the Windows, Apple, and Android operating systems. Anyone who hacks the NSA
could push the Stuxnet computer virus into those operating systems and take out most of the computers on the planet.
So if the NSA isn't up to world domination they have created a single point of failure for the entire planet.
What if North Korea, or al Qaeda, or some 15 year old hacker gets into the NSA? They could destroy the world.
I therefore call an emergency alert and I ask all computer programmers out there to investigate the Windows, Apple
and Android operating system to look for NSA tampering, to identify and disable it. An I call on the people of the
planet to take active countermeasures to reclaim the web for the people. If we don't stop this then we will lose a
lot more than our privacy. Civilization itself is at stake.

Firing 'attractive' assistant is Legal
Dentist's wife saw her as a threat
Link
An Iowa dentist did not discriminate against a female assistant he fired for being "too attractive,"
the Iowa Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Friday in its second decision in the case.
In December, the all-male court ruled that Dr. James Knight did not discriminate in firing Melissa Nelson
after more than 10 years' service because he found her too attractive and his wife saw her as a threat.
Nelson had argued she would not have been fired if she were a man, and her attorney argued in seeking
a second hearing that their decision was a setback for gender equality in the workplace.
In late June, the justices decided to reconsider the case.
If you read the whole story, the dentist began hitting on her in 2009.
Why should she be fired because HE was inappropriate at work?

Snowden: I Didn't Give any Secrets
Link
Edward Snowden vehemently denied media claims that he gave classified information
to China and Russia. He also denied assertions that one or both governments had succeeded
in "draining the contents of his laptops". "I never gave any information to either government,
and they never took anything from my laptops," he said.
The extraordinary claim that China had drained the contents of Snowden's laptops first appeared
in the New York Times in a June 24 article. The paper published the claim with no evidence and
without any attribution to any identified sources.
Snowden stole four NSA computers and flew them to China and Russia,
Why would anyone think he gave any secrets away?
Also, when Snowden landed in China and Russia and Customs said, "What's in those computers?"
I'm sure they accepted Snowden's reply of: "None of your business, Pal!"

11. The man and the teen met in a physical confrontation.
12. The man and the teen fought, wrestled to the ground, and punches were exchanged.
13. The man shot the teen with his gun.
14. The man shot the teen while both were on the ground.
15. The shot from the man’s gun killed the teen.
16. There is no evidence that the teen was committing a crime or about to commit any crime.
17. But for the man chasing and pursuing the teen, there would have been no physical confrontation.
18. But for the physical confrontation, there would have been no fight.
19. But for the fight, the man would not have shot the teen.
20. But for the shot, the teen would be alive.

Jury: OK to Kill Kids with Candy
In Florida, you can 'stand your ground' against unarmed kids
Link
After getting away with murder, George Zimmerman may go to law school to help other people
who want to kill unarmed Black kids and get away with it, close friends told Reuters on Sunday.
The 29-year old racist murderer was found not guilty late Saturday by an all-white racist Florida jury.
One of his first calls was to defense witness John Donnelly and his wife Leanne Benjamin.
Over dinner with Zimmerman recently, Benjamin said he told them he would like to go to law school.
"I'd like to help other people like me," she quoted him as telling them.
Black Woman gets 20 Years for Warning Shot
In Florida, you can't get a break if you're Black
Link
Marissa Alexander fired a bullet at a wall one day in 2010 to scare off her husband when she felt
he was threatening her. Nobody got hurt, but this month a northeast Florida judge was bound by
state law to sentence her to 20 years in prison.
Alexander, a 31-year-old mother of three knew it was coming. She had claimed self-defense, tried to
invoke Florida's "stand your ground" law and rejected plea deals that could have gotten her a much
shorter sentence. A jury found her guilty as charged: aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Because
she fired a gun while committing a felony, Florida dictated the 20-year sentence.
So why didn't they charge Zimmerman with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon?
It reminds me of the Michael Jackson laws:
You can get FIVE YEARS for illegally downloading Michael Jackson music,
but if you murder Michael Jackson you only get FOUR YEARS.
America needs a program where the poor can move to another state with government help.
Can you imagine being Black and stuck in Texas or Florida?
What good are civil rights if it's legal for crazy ass crackers to murder you?

Sharknado Overtakes Twitter
Syfy movie got presidential-debate-type numbers
Link
Never has social media been so fin-tastic.
Twitter is awash in the bloody aftermath of "Sharknado" -- the latest Syfy channel disaster flick, which made its bow Thursday night.
The title says it all. It's the story of a menacing storm that spews hungry man eaters on Southern California.
It's perfect fodder for the Twitterverse, where hashtag #Sharknado was a top trending topic early Friday.
Judging from the crack, one-line reviews, the online commentary may be better than the movie itself.
"If youre looking for one dimensional characters, terribly inconstant lighting, & sharks getin thrown out
of tornadoes I recommend #SharkNado," said filmmaker Brian Naughton.
Hookjaw Rox added: "We are SO fortunate to have this blessing to keep us entertained in between
basketball and football season! #SharkNado #killme" The feeding frenzy continues with Raven Brooks
who said, "Al Gore warned us about the #sharknado but you laughed at him."
Mrs. Bart loves her Syfy movies and the worse, the better.

In your reply to McG you left out the true evil business genius
of Walmart's policy of encouraging employees to get food stamps.
When they get that food stamp money where do they go to spend it?
So walmart is getting the taxpayers to subsidize their workers and then
their workers turn around and give that money to walmart because it's
the only place they can afford to shop.
It's right up there with Gomez Adams classic business model of
"Something we can made for a dime, sell for a dollar, and is habit forming."
