In the face of lingering, and growing racial tensions in Ferguson over the police shooting of an unarmed African-American, a new and highly unusual edict has come down from the chief of police: Shoot Unarmed White People. The order reveals the hope that by killing unarmed white people, the Ferguson police department will no longer be seen as racists.
It suggests targeting senior citizens pulled over for traffic citations, any white teen wearing a hoodie, and young mothers with children. Targeting these demographics, the memo continued, should result in tremendous public outcry, overshadowing recent events where people of color in Ferguson and elsewhere in this great country were gunned down without apparent provocation. The police chief’s order also reminded officers to yell out a commmand, such as “Stop or I’ll shoot” at least a split second before, not after, opening fire. This, the memo said, would provide the necessary legal cover to defeat any lawsuits.
The memo concluded with P.S. DO NOT LEAK THIS MEMO TO THE PRESS.

Hong Kong’s Umbrella Revolution
(umbrellas were used to ward-off the teargas attacks from the police, and allowed the crowd shelter from the rain. HK will not be deterred)

Recently disclosed real estate opportunity: Cliven Bundy is selling his property for pennies on the dollar to relocate to Ferguson.
A recent press release from him stated that cattle are a pain in the ass when they aren’t free to roam federal land for nothing and he wants to be where he can “feel the love”.
Cliven should be a good fit in Missouri, lots of Mormon history there. If I remember correctly, even Bring’em Young passed thru Mo on his trek to Utah. In fact, one place in Mo — Independence — has been identified as the center place of Zion (whatever the fuck THAT means).
How to determine if you have ebola:
does breast milk count?….
BTW BMM….good lookin’ chick!
That “chick” is my adult daughter.

S’ok FB, I didn’t get her phone number either 😉
*facepalm*
Sorry Zooey…..you’re the only good lookin’ chick that counts.
a mother and baby were setting across the aisle in the airplane and the kid spit up on my arm as we were getting ready to get off the plane….ughhh!
hope you weaseled a G&T out of the mom for that one, FB
Whewwwwwww!……finally got a flight out of Chicago. But, it’s a great place to be stuck as long as you’re not living at the airport. the Hyatt Place was most accommodating, and I highly recommend their hotels if you’re ever in the Windy City, or anywhere else for that matter.
Game show ‘Jeopardy’ has category ‘What Women Want’ and while probably sexist, it’s unbelievably assinine:

Perhaps we can persuade the RNC to have its next convention in Ferguson
Students protesting is both funny and ironic:
No real surprise here. All the little rightwhiners have received their marching orders and are spreading across the airwaves and intertubes to proclaim; “Ebola is here! We’re all gonna die!! And it’s all Obama’s fault!!!”

Since this first case is in Texas, I figure it’s Rick Perry’s fault along with the nutcase Tea Party. They should ALL be deported to Africa so the virus is not deprived of a livable surround (with bonus that the Tea Party would eventually become extinct — a benefit with global ramifications).

The truly terrifying thing about the FUAX Friends in the morning is that Doocy is now “the smart one”. At least Retchen had to act dumber than Doocy and Not Doocy.
If Douchy is “smart”, I sure hope I never run across anyone who’s really stupid.
This Country Just Abolished College Tuition Fees
Interesting how we won the war, defeated Fascism, imposed democracy, and now the people of Germany benefit because their elected government understands the blessings implicit in spreading the wealth around.
Interesting how the victors, now controlled by the classic merger of wealth and power (Fascism), are sliding into the abyss of widespread poverty and enslavement of the masses — a country on the verge of massive failure.
Secret Service Director Julia Pierson has resigned. Partly blames the media.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/01/secret-service-director-resigns_n_5915776.html
“I think it’s in the best interest of the Secret Service and the American public if I step down,” Pierson said. “Congress has lost confidence in my ability to run the agency. The media has made it clear that this is what they expected. … It’s painful to leave as the agency is reeling from a significant security breach.”
Hopefully it signals a return to the era that when public officials screwed up they resigned.
Period.

The GOP needed another black, whack job to carry on in the tradition of Herman Cain.
I wonder how much federal assistance Gov Perry is wiling to accept to combat Ebola? For example, will he use the research the feds have done?
Hell, no. Ebola is part of God’s punishment for Adam’s sin. God will protect True Christians from Ebola, the same way he protects children who don’t get immunizations.
Let me hear ya say “Amen Brother!”
Praise the lord and pass the fruit bat!
