I won’t rub it in to all my Republican friends, but the real America has spoken (and just once, for the record, I did tell you so). While it may not be related to the Cubs, yet again, not winning the World Series, it does give me very good reason to fly the Cubs ‘W’ flag of victory from my…

Two Legs Good; Four wheels Bad
As a cost saving move, more foot patrol in Boston. Reported in the Boston Globe.
Stop Lying
Michael Mineo is lying. I’ve said it beforeand I’ll say it again. That’s what I think. So why is a grand jury being started on the case? Does that mean there is truth behind Mineo’s claim? No. Here’s what I think is the story. Michael Mineo won’t release his medical records because they don’t support his lies. The grand jury…
Prop. 5 and the Prison Guards’ Union
The California Correctional Peace Officers Association (CCPOA) is the union for prison guards. I’m all for unions for prison guards. They have a tough job, horrible working conditions (uh, prison), and I certain would not want their job. I believe their union should have a loud and robust voice on such things as pay, working conditions, health-care benefits, and retirement…
I amuse you? I make you laugh, I’m here to f**kin’ amuse you?
You know, for some reason I can’t figure out, I kind of like Al Sharpton. Not for what he does or stands for. Not for the lies he has said. I just like listening to him. He amuses me. Think of him running for President in 2004. He kept the debates interesting, that’s for sure. And I think he fills…
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day a black man will rise to become the leader of this great nation and Al Sharpton will pray with a lying white man and say, “I don’t care if the cops were blacks and he was white or vice versa.” Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, we are free at…
Dirt bikes in Baltimore
If you don’t live in Baltimore, it’s hard to understand just how big of a problem this is. If you do live in Baltimore, you may not realize that this problem doesn’t really exist anywhere else, at least not like it does in Baltimore. The bikes themselves weren’t illegal. But riding them is. It’s a strange Rite of Spring in…
B.S.
There’s a story in many New York City papers today about accusations that 5 members of the NYPD stuck something up a guy’s ass ala Louima. Google any NY paper for the details. I’d just like to go on record as saying, “Bullshit. It ain’t true.” Do I know? No. You’ll just have to trust me on this one. Complete…
Budget cutting? Take a hatchet to the war on drugs
Joe Conason has a good piece in Salon about the war on drugs. Want to cut waste and abuse? How about starting with the $50 billion we spend every year on the war on drugs. And why aren’t either McCain or Obama talking it?
Shot cops and turnstile jumping
There’s more about that here. Also interesting (if it weren’t, would I post it?). “Officers Seeking Fare Evaders Often Find Worse Crimes.” And here’s a first hand account of the shooting from the L.T.
