If Donkey A Leaves Train Station B At...
Im sorry to do this, what will be the equivalent of a mass reply forward email of some lame joke/conspiracy theory/chain letter/sob story, but I gotta admit that this one made me laugh. Now when I say laugh, being the cold hearted grinch like conservative nazi fascist seal clubber that I am, I mean more of a ha ha chuckle a la Nelson Muntz as oppossed to a strong Santa-like belly laugh. This is what I do...I spread good cheer to the world.
1. Teaching Math In 1960
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
2. Teaching Math In 1970
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
3. Teaching Math In 1980
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?
4. Teaching Math In 1990
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
5. Teaching Math In 2000
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers.)
6. Teaching Math In 2010
Un lenador que se dedica a oprimir a los pobres trabajadores y destruir el medio ambiente destroza un bosque y los hogares de miles de ardillas y pajaritos para vender la madera por $100. Dado que no le paga a los pobres immigrantes que cortaron la madera, que tipo de justicia social se merece?

The Kennedy Irrelevancy
This is a repost from August with an update here
The absolute insane level of hypocrisy of these eco-jackasses is mind-boggling. If the Kennedys ever had a good name to begin with, this certainly would have soiled it. How dare bobby boy junior blame the horrific events of Katrina on one person, Gov Haley Barbour . Said junior:
This political ideological finger pointing in the wake of natural disasters is sickening. Let the man, the state, the region, the country and its citizens mourn its dead before you start your scatterbrained unsubstantiated mudslinging. Its beginning to look like Rosemary was the only sane Kennedy.
I find it very perplexing that an "enviro" such as bobby boy, who is such a fervent advocate of alternative fuel is leading the charge to stop the Nantucket Windfarm Project. I guess we wouldnt want to ruin the poor lil rich kid's sailing experience off the Cape. You couldnt find a better text book example of a limousine liberals "not in my back yard" environmentalism if a caribou walked right up to you and smacked you over the head with the corpse of a bald eagle.

"Now we are all learning what its like to reap the whirlwind of fossil fuel dependence which Barbour and his cronies have encouraged. Our destructive addiction has given us a catastrophic war in the Middle East and--now--Katrina is giving our nation a glimpse of the climate chaos we are bequeathing our children."

Ann Coulter
I would be more interested in what the Democrats had to say about high gas prices if these were not the same people who refused to let us drill for oil in Alaska, imposed massive restrictions on building new refineries, and who shut down the development of nuclear power in this country decades ago.
But it's too much having to watch Democrats wail about the awful calamity to poor working families of having to pay high gas prices.
Imposing punitive taxation on gasoline to force people to ride bicycles has been one of the left's main policy goals for years.
For decades Democrats have been trying to raise the price of gasoline so that the working class will stop their infernal car-driving and start riding on buses where they belong, while liberals ride in Gulfstream jets.

I'll Be Back
Fret you not my fellow conservative Aurorans, I know Ive been on an anti-admin tear lately but I have not forsaken you. Im in the process of writing a scathing expose on the brain washing effects of the patchouli fragrance coupled with hypnotic multi colored tie-dyed hemp clothing and the ill anti-American effect that it has had on our Country. Start running now hippies!

Bitch Slapping The Standard
With the weather in The City finally taking a turn for the better, and my drinking pattern about to shift from dark dank donkey pubs to the fresh air of the Manhattan rooftops with the weekends being filled with my usual summer stops at Shea, complimented by my normal warm weather redneck activities and my newly acquired yuppie scum dirty habit (we dare not speak the four letter word aloud) I would like to prepare The Aurora's faithful for whats about to come your way.
Im gonna start getting lazy (or lazier if you must) and will be inundating you with numerous excerpts from the only non-biz related magazine that I still subscribe to...The American Conservative (TAC). This should come as no surprise, but whose editor is none other than the esteemend American conservative Patrick J Buchanan. I dont agree with him on all, but he always makes a thought provoking argument and always funny as hell. There has been much mockery of my regard for this man, but I will just say that I have followed PJB for over half my life and along with John H Sununu of Crossfire later on he was instrumental in my transfromation from a dope smoking lax playing skirt chasing slacker (ok not so much of a transformation) into a disciple of the wonderful world of polemic politics.
Here is a great example of why I read the mag, and why Im on the same page of PJB politically, or as we say at the secret rallies...
A quick background on the next article for our non-conservatives. The Weekly Standard and TAC have had a bit of feud going on, some going back before TAC was founded. TWS made this statement about Iran...
“Advocates of containment and deterrence should step forward to make their case openly and honestly,” says the Standard, “We look forward to engaging them in a real debate.”

The American Conservative
TAC to Standard—Challenge Accepted
by Patrick J. Buchanan
In the run-up to war in Iraq, The Weekly Standard was the voice of the “cakewalk” crowd clamoring for “Action This Day!” Cawing and cawing, in the end they got, and we got, the war they had craved.
No voice in America was more resolute that the war would be an historic blunder than ours. From our first issue in 2002 until the 3rd Division stepped off, we warned this was an unnecessary war. Though Saddam was a monster, we said, he was no threat to us. But a U.S. invasion would radicalize Islam, increase terror, and leave our troops mired down in a nation whose people would come to hate us. We scoffed at the utopian blather about democracy breaking out as propagandistic nonsense.
Enraged, National Review read us out of the movement. In a cover story, “Unpatriotic Conservatives,” NR charged three editors and four of our writers with harboring a treasonous desire for a U.S. defeat. Said NR, all seven of us “hate” President Bush and “hate” America. A year later, William F. Buckley Jr. conceded that, had he known what he later learned, he, too, would have opposed the war.
History has proven us right....

The Numbers Dont Lie
Our leaders (sic) are failing us again. Only this time, their incompetency is threatening our very existence and sovereignty as a nation. As much as my birth state disgusts me with their liberal and hippie ways, is it really in our best interest to lose California to secession? How bout New Mexico, Arizona or Nevada?... then were going to Michigan and then we're going to Washington, D.C...
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
...because make no bones about it we are losing them and the rest of the country to an invasion of illegal immigrants who have no intention to assimilate, and secession of the southwestern states is the ultimate goal. This is not an attack on all Mexicans or Latinos. I was born in el barrio of LA, and some of my best friends and delivery guys are spics. (such a racist cop-out justification...I love it!) This is an attack on those that come here illegally with no regard for our history or our laws. It has to stop now and although the Constitution states...
Section 8 - Powers of Congress
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions
I think its safe to catergorize this as an invasion and that they have failed in their duty and the proposed measures in da House are half-assed at best. I place the majority of blame on President George W Bush and his failed and flawed leadership in this matter. To put it bluntly, he's really pissing me off. As I said in the title...

I dont recall hearing about this guy Ted Hayes before but hopefully we will all be hearing more about him in the future. The Aurora has long said that the Black community should be up in arms over the illegal immigration problem plaguing this Country. Well watch out Pablo because the 'Crispus Attucks Brigade' is on the march and joining forces with the Minutemen. Kudos as well to the 'American Black Citizens Opposed to Illegal Immigration Invasion' for their involvement. The Aurora is behind you in your effort to secure our borders where our elected officials have failed us. story

More Hard Working Immigrants
I'm sure they're just hardworking fruit pickers who are contributing to the economy, but i wish we were allowed to ask these scumbags about their immigration status.
Leader (in Arabic): "With our blood and our lives we will liberate al Aqsa!"
[The rest also respond in Arabic:] "With our blood and our lives we will liberate al Aqsa!
Israeli Zionists What do you say? The real Holocaust is on its way" story
or maybe we could tap their phones....... oh no not if russ feingold and hillary's band of blame Bush merry men have anything to say about it.

Mother Nature Digs Me
Ever notice how something so easily combatable as precipitation is so effective at thinning out the crowds at these Earth Day, Peace Rallies, Hippie Fests etc??? If you got a job maybe you could afford an umbrella, rain coat, heck big spender maybe even a pair of those slick red commie galooshes. Or maybe you could love all that nature has to offer or take it as a sign that you need a shower. These hippie tree huggers sure dont like being put out. Typical not in my backyard limousine liberal politics of convenience as usual. As a card carrying Conservative and Eddie Rabbit Fan all I got to say is...
Well I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder
Watch the lightning
When it lights up the sky
You know it makes me feel good
Well I love a rainy night
It's such a beautiful sight
I love to feel the rain
On my face
To taste the rain on my lips

Sounds Familiar
So i'm watching CNBC Morning Call and they have 2 guys on debating Economy vs Environment. It reminds me of what we do here. The Economy guy is explaining that technology is cleaning up and finding new and more efficient ways to take advantage of the resources of the planet, and the Environment guy keeps saying that oil companies are evil.
So the economy guy asked "do you have any facts or is your whole argument ' oil companies are evil' "? And the Environment guy says " oil companies just want us to be addicted to oil, check out exxonsecrets.org!
So he has no facts, just conspiracy theory, and thinks we should crush our economy for the good of the spotted owl or whatever. Hmmmm interesting.

Do You Wanna Get High
As a retired semi-pro athlete and now as a sports fan, Ive always appreciated the high five. In fact, a Phillipino friend of The Aurora known simply as Yellow, uses the high five to meet women on the street. I have stolen this move and can attest to the unlikely success ratio of this move. The high five invokes only positive feelings and is never met with hostility. So on that note The Aurora will plug
National High Five Day
(created by the same kid that did the game six video.)
So get out on the streets Aurorans and get smacking hands.

PJB On Right Toast
Ive been saying it all along, that if the headless democratic anti-war loons on the left wanted an actual plan or strategy regarding Iraq, as opposed to just saying that they had a plan...they need look no further to one of the only anti-war voices making any sense. Now both parties need to look to the man again on the issue of illegal immigration, none other than my alleged man-crush Patrick J Buchanan..."They are not saying they dislike foreigners. But they are saying a government that cannot stop an invasion across our Mexican border that has left 11 million to 20 million intruders in our country, stomping around under foreign flags and demanding the benefits of U.S. citizens, is a failed regime that needs to be replaced. After all, what does it profit us if we save Anbar province but lose Arizona?"

Mascot of the Week - Ryk Neethling
"Ryk Neethling is one of the most successful swimmers in history to compete for the University of Arizona and the Republic of South Africa. Ryk has participated in the last three Olympic Games for South Africa, culminating with a Gold Medal and World Record performance in the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece. Currently, Neethling holds the South African record in five different events and ranks in the top ten in the world in both the 50, 100, 200 Freestyle and Individual Medleys. Yet it is his success as an intercollegiate swimmer at the University of Arizona that elevated him to become one of the most highly regarded athletes in Tucson and the International swimming community. Ryk’s collegiate athletic career at Arizona was unmatched, leading to nine individual NCAA Championships and the Arizona Athlete of the Century Award."

The End Is Nigh
Could a billion Venti Double Espresso Chai Latte drinkers be wrong? Probaly, but the more pertinent question is... can they be stopped? The unholy alliance is now in place. If my seminary schooling serves me well here, I remember translating the Green Tea Scrolls to uncover the revelation that the stock of Starbucks breaking a 52 week high on the same day Hu Jintao (no relation) and Billy G meet in Washington (State) is one of the 7 Signs of the Tupacalypse. Now it is clear that total global domination is imminent. Repent now and forgo your Seattlistic ways. The missing link between Java Man and Peking Man has been forged!
Segregation Now, Segregation Tomorrow....
Omaha Nebraska is segregating the schools? The Legislature voted Last week to divide the Omaha school system into three districts — one mostly black, one predominantly white and one largely Hispanic.
I'm not really sure how i feel about this one. On the one hand, according to the bills sponsor, Omaha Sen. Ernie Chambers, the schools attended largely by minorities lack the resources and quality teachers provided others in the district. He said the black students he represents in north Omaha would receive a better education if they had more control over their district.
On the other hand, it is basically segregation.
I realize that i am over simplifying it, but wouldn't some kind of voucher system or privatization cure the public school problems that we have today?

Dont Be Silly Part II
Hopefully this doesnt become an annual tradition (thank Gilbert Godfrey for 1 yr contracts), but once again I will call for the head of Victor Zambrano, and will continue to do so after every start. The guy flat out sucks, and is another glaring example of the weakness in Willie's managing style. Trachsel has been a horse for the Mets eating innings up (like I eat spuds) the last few years and Willie disparages him by placing VZ ahead of him. Aint nutting wrong with cutting dead weight.
Im not even gonna get into the Zeppelin trade but I will add on the topic of horrible trades that it seems Jorge Julio must have gotten confused by the old "Chicks dig the long ball" Nike commercial...hey JJ I'll translate it for you...Women enjoy the company of men that hit home runs, not hack relievers that serve up dinger inducing meatballs. Plus Anna Benson was hot in that backwoods $5 dollar lap dance skank kind of way, and If you know one thing about me...Im a fin for skin kind of donkey.

Drive Like A Donkey
We here at The Aurora are what you could call people persons. We like to help our fellow brothers and sisters become the best that they can be, since we do more by 7 AM than most do all day. Essentially we are America's parents, and we are here to help jackasses become upstanding citizens. The first part of our continuing ed. series of our "How Not To Piss Me Off" was teaching the class ... Walking For Dummies 101.
and now for Part II...
One of the Donkey's annual traditions to bring in the spring is to take the bike out to Coney and toast the warm weather with a few chilly art carne cheese dogs. Although Ive already made this trip three or four times, I consider this past weekends Nathan run the first official of '06 as I didnt have to get all leather and layered up for the cold. Now before all our female readers get excited....yes in fact I do look good in leather. Anyways to my point. People need to learn how to drive but more importantly...
THEY NEED TO LEARN TO DRIVE WHEN A BIKE IS ON THE ROAD.
1. A bike needs two car lengths to stop. Were faster than you. So stop trying to be a hot shot cutting in front of the Kitana
2. If a bike is in a lane. Its for a reason. Its his lane. Stay out of it.
3. Be alert. When youre making a turn and you think its safe because the SUV just passed. Its not. Look for a bike on the right.
4. Blind spot. Called that for a reason. Turn your head and look.
5. Dont be a jackass. Share the road.
This post is sponsored by the two jackasses colliding in the Battery tunnel shedding car parts without regards for me, my passenger or any other vehichles on the road and then driving off. Share the road or Ill kill ya.
On a side note: I reported this accident to the PA, and was told there was no way they could anything about it although I gave them a bang up description of both vehichles and the exact time and lane they went thru the EZ pass lane. That makes sense. Two knuckleheads cause a ruckus and back up the BBT and theres nothing they can do yet I get pictures of my ass all summer saying I didnt pay a seventy cents toll. Keep up the good work!

On a side note: I reported this accident to the PA, and was told there was no way they could anything about it although I gave them a bang up description of both vehichles and the exact time and lane they went thru the EZ pass lane. That makes sense. Two knuckleheads cause a ruckus and back up the BBT and theres nothing they can do yet I get pictures of my ass all summer saying I didnt pay a seventy cents toll. Keep up the good work!

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

A Nor'Easter Is A'Brewing
I want a nasty little Jewish princess
who takes it in the keister
and doesnt celebrate Easter.
In honor of the resurrection of JC. The Aurora is proud to present the corniest joke on the web regarding his chosen profession (and Im not talking about rum-running)
A blind carpenter walks into a lumber mill and shouts out, "I am a blind carpenter and I need a job." The foreman walks over to the blind carpenter and says, "If you're blind, how can you work in a lumber yard?" The blind carpenter says, "I can tell any piece of lumber by it's smell." The foreman says "O.K. I'll give you a test and if you pass the test, you've got a job." The foreman takes the carpenter over to a table and says, "I will put some lumber on a table in front of you and you tell me what it is." The foreman then puts a piece of lumber on the table and says, "Ready!" The carpenter bends over and takes a deep sniff moving his head from one side to the other. He says "That's a number two pine, two by four, eight foot long." The foreman says, "Duh! That's right, but pine is easy to tell by the smell and I think you guessed the rest. Here's another piece of lumber for you to identify." The foreman puts a piece of lumber on the table and says, "Ready!" The blind carpenter bends over and takes a deep sniff moving his head from one side to the other and says, "This is a tough one, please turn it over so I can smell the other side." The foreman does this and says "Ready!" The carpenter takes another deep sniff moving his head from side to side. He then says, "That's a clear heart red wood, four by four, six foot long." The foreman is amazed and says "That's right, but I still think you're just lucky and still guessing. Let me try one more time and if you get it right you got a job." The foreman then goes into the office and asks his secretary to help him stump the blind carpenter by taking off all of her clothes and laying down on the table. She takes off her clothes walks out of the office and lays face down on the table. The foreman says, "Ready!" The blind carpenter takes a deep sniff moving his head from side to side. He looks puzzled and takes another sniff and says, "This also is a tough one, please turn it over so I can smell the other side." The foreman gestures with his hand to the secretary, she rolls over, and the foreman says, "Ready!" The blind carpenter moves his head from side to side again looking puzzled. He sniffs one more time, looks surprised, and says, "I got it. That's a shit house door off a tuna boat." He got the job.

Its Getting Hot In Here...Or Is it?
"For many years now, human-caused climate change has been viewed as a large and urgent problem. In truth, however, the biggest part of the problem is neither environmental nor scientific, but a self-created political fiasco. Consider the simple fact, drawn from the official temperature records of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, that for the years 1998-2005 global average temperature did not increase"

"It's over, the light has returned to red My bloody red divine, so high, tastes like cheap red wine At the party's dawn, I'll sing that song, to prolong the Scourge, the walk of the avenue, the place, the place_ You're 20 minutes away 20 Years are hard enough some times just want to get off forever, or maybe just a couple days, 'cause forever isn't far away but it sures feels closer than you If we tied these hands, wrap this heart in a blanket The blood would seep through, and my bloody red divine Just smile, drink your cheap red wine, have a drink on me But how much more red is willing to bleed, one last drop, one last beat But on that Friday."

There's a New Language In Town: Jafaican
'Jafaican' is wiping out inner-city English accents
by LAURA CLARK, Daily Mail
If you struggle to understand Cockney, Brummie, Geordie and Scouse, then stand by for an even bigger challenge. It's called Jafaican and, slowly but surely, it is infiltrating the English language.
The multicultural hybrid, based on Jamaican but with undertones of West African and Indian, is not a totally new concept, of course. Ali G has been delivering his comic routines in his own colourful variant of it for some years.
But linguistic experts say it is becoming so common in the inner cities that it is beginning to eclipse traditional accents.
In some London boroughs, for instance, it has taken over from Cockney, the prevailing accent for generations, as inner-city white youths pick up the speech patterns of their black and Asian classmates. More than four out of ten London residents are now from ethnic minority backgrounds.
The Jafaican name, conveying the idea of 'fake Jamaican', was coined on the streets rather than in the research rooms. The academics prefer 'multicultural English'. But the message is constant.
"People are beginning to sound the same regardless of their colour or ethnic background," said Sue Fox, of London University's Queen Mary College, who is studying the phenomenon.
She ruled out suggestions that the language is simply the result of white youngsters trying to be cool. "It's not about that at all," she said. "It seems more likely that young people have been growing up in London exposed to a mixture of second-language English and local London English and that this new variety has emerged from that mix."
Miss Fox and co-researchers from Lancaster University are analysing the speech patterns of dozens of teenagers at colleges in inner and outer London. Youngsters have been interviewed and observed talking to their friends over a ten-month period.
What has emerged is a distinctive inner-London patois which borrows heavily from Jamaican creole, lifting some words unchanged.
But it has been influenced by other speech patterns, mainly Bangladeshi and West African, with a little South American and Arab thrown in.
An analysis of vowel sounds has shown the traditional long Cockney vowels are becoming shorter. The word 'face' sounds like 'fice' in cockney but more like 'fehs' in Jafaican.
"Our sample includes teenagers with West Indian, South American, Arab, West African and London backgrounds," said Miss Fox. "In London in the post-war years lots of white working-class Cockney families moved out to satellite towns such as Basildon and Harlow. In their place, we have got this huge mix of different ethnic groups."
While the study is currently focussed on London, Miss Fox believes a similar pattern will be emerging in other cities. In Bristol recently, police used Ali G-style patois on placards warning young people to curb their antisocial behaviour. They insisted they were merely reflecting the language of target groups.

April 13, 2006 -- Think you've got a booty to rival Beyonce's? Now you can find out - with scientific certainty.
A team of British academics has developed a mathematical formula to determine just how perfect your posterior is.
"The perfect female derriere has firmness to the touch and a resilience that prevents undue wobble or bounce, yet looks soft with flawless skin," said Dr. David Holmes, a psychology lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University, who devised the formula for measuring one's moons.
And the Rosetta Stone of bootyliciousness is:
(S+C) x (B+F) / (T-V)
While it may look complicated, getting to the bottom of the formula is easy, Holmes insists.
First, a woman assesses her assets on a scale from 1 to 20 (1 being worst and 20 best) in the following categories:
* S = overall shape (a ripe peach being just about right)
* C = circularity (rounder is better)
* B = bounciness (less wobble is preferred)
* F = firmness (too much push to that cushion loses points)
* T = skin texture (no cellulite, please)
Then calculate this:
* V = the ratio of one's hips to waist. Finally, do the math.
While everyone may aspire to cans of J.Lo or Jessica Simpson proportions, balance is key to achieving the perfect score of approximately 80.
"Slender thighs and hip-to-waist ratio of 0.7 will frame the perfect bum, well, perfectly," Holmes said.
"Kylie [Minogue] would score amazingly well on sphericality and symmetry. Her bottom is perfect in those categories, more so than the likes of . . . Jennifer Lopez, who has a more curvy posterior," he said.
Interestingly, a poll of 2000 people across England found that while women sided with J. Lo's rump as the best, men preferred Minogue's.
But science really settles nothing, says booty expert Sir-Mix-A-Lot.
"They got to be juicy, round, with a little jiggle to it," the "Baby Got Back" rapper told The Post yesterday, laughing hysterically. "The bubbliness does matter."
But there's only one way to measure the most desirable derriere, he said.
"You know it when you see it," he said. "We could debate this all day."

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid - Part I
So, I've read the Seymour Hersh article. And my first impression is that there is nothing in there that is either terribly surprising or that hasn't already been out there for public consumption in one way or another for the past few months. Hersh has just done a pretty good job coalescing a lot of what most people already assumed was happening.
When I read stuff like this, I am very leery of a couple of issues. First, as we all know, the media and the government work hand in hand. They need each other. One feeds the other. In this case, the question is always: who is feeding Hersh his information and what is their agenda. It's simply a question. I am not stating an answer or my personal opinion. One can see where the "bias" in this article lies. Second is the issue of the "trial balloon." Is the administration using the media in this case to "float" the idea of using nuclear weapons in order to get a preliminary read of the extent of public reaction? And finally, in terms of agenda, is the administration's "feeding" of this information to Hersh about Team Bush's willingness (and desire) to go nuclear with Iran using this article (among another methods) as explicit warning?
Overall though, the article is very scary. It reminds us of Bush's "messianic" mentality. And that he believes that "saving Iran is going to be his legacy." (Excuse me, but I thought we were saving Iraq.)

NOGALES, Mexico - At a shelter overflowing with migrants airing their blistered feet, Francisco Ramirez nursed muscles sore from trekking through the Arizona desert - a trip that failed when his wife did not have the strength to go on.He said the couple would rest for a few days, then try again, a plan echoed by dozens reclining on rickety bunk beds and carpets tossed on the floor after risking violent bandits and the harsh desert in unsuccessful attempts to get into the United States.The shelter's manager, Francisco Loureiro, said he has not seen such a rush of migrants since 1986, when the United States allowed 2.6 million illegal residents to get American citizenship.

Cracker Ass Cracka
I'm going to let Michelle take this one, as I couldn't say it better myself. Well OK of course I could but I'm going be lazy. But I will add that the entire "hate" crime thing has always bothered me as extremely racist and unnecessary. Aren't all crimes by definition hateful? Or does that only apply when whitey perpetuates a crime against blackey.
"If John Hehman, may he rest in peace, had been black and his assailants had been white, you'd know his story by now. But the races were reversed and his murder has been relegated to a footnote by the p.c. New York Times and the rest of the national MSM. (Compare the NYTimes' coverage of Hehman with this NYTimes story of a local white-on-black attack last year.)"

Seymour Hersh Hates America
I''m not sure if the readership of the New Yorker meets the qualification's but I have to believe that revealing possible military tactic's & targets and current covert ops does. Seymour Hersh is an admitted liar and a TR'AITOR to his Country.
Art. III Sec. 3: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two witnesses to the same overt Act, or on confession in open Court.
Or is he so ignorant to think that the USA doesnt have contingenc'y plans of action regarding possible military targets on over half the countries in the world, if not all of them...O'K all of them (well besides Ireland because they know ya dont mess around with Jim and ya dont mess around with the Irish) Then again, maybe he's just trying to sell magazines.

More Frank Zappa
The recent posting about Frank Zappa got me thinking about how little I actually know about the man. So I went on-line and found a copy of his testimony before the Congressional "Tipper Gore" committee back in 1985. I thought some would find it interesting and still quite relevant. (I've only posted part of it, although it's still kinda long, I am new to Blogger so I wasn't sure how to insert a link, sorry.)
....
STATEMENT BY FRANK ZAPPA
The establishment of a rating system, voluntary or otherwise, opens the door to an endless parade of Moral Quality Control Programs based on "Things Certain Christians Don't Like". What if the next bunch of Washington Wives demands a large yellow "J" on all material written or performed by Jews, in order to save helpless children from exposure to 'concealed Zionist doctrine'?
Record ratings are frequently compared to film ratings. Apart from the quantitative difference, there is another that is more important: People who act in films are hired to 'pretend'. No matter how the film is rated, it won't hurt them personally. Since many musicians write and perform their own material and stand by it as their art (whether you like it or not), an imposed rating will stigmatize them as individuals. How long before composers and performers are told to wear a festive little PMRC arm band with their Scarlet Letter on it?
The PMRC rating system restrains trade in one specific musical field: Rock. No ratings have been requested for Comedy records or Country Music. Is there anyone in the PMRC who can differentiate infallibly between Rock and Country Music? Artists in both fields cross stylistic lines. Some artists include comedy material. If an album is part Rock, part Country, part Comedy, what sort of label would it get? Shouldn't the ladies be warning everyone that inside those Country albums with the American Flags, the big trucks, and the atomic pompadours there lurks a fascinating variety of songs about sex, violence, alcohol, and the devil, recorded in a way that lets you hear every word, sung for you by people who have been to prison and are proud of it.
If enacted, the PMRC program would have the effect of protectionist legislation for the Country Music Industry, providing more security for cowboys than it does for children. One major retail outlet has already informed the Capitol Records sales staff that it would not purchase or display an album with any kind of sticker on it.
Another chain with outlets in shopping malls has been told by the landlord that if it racked "hard-rated albums" they would lose their lease. That opens up an awful lot of shelf space for somebody. Could it be that a certain Senatorial husband and wife team from Tennessee sees this as an 'affirmative action program' to benefit the suffering multitudes in Nashville?
Is the PMRC attempting to save future generations from SEX ITSELF? The type, the amount, and the timing of sexual information given to a child should be determined by the parents, not by people who are involved in a tax scheme cover-up.
The PMRC has concocted a Mythical Beast, and compounds the chicanery by demanding 'consumer guidelines' to keep it from inviting your children inside its sugar walls. Is the next step the adoption of a "PMRC National Legal Age For Comprehension of Vaginal Arousal". Many people in this room would gladly support such legislation, but, before they start drafting their bill, I urge them to consider these facts:
(1) There is no conclusive scientific evidence to support the claim that exposure to any form of music will cause the listener to commit a crime or damn his soul to hell.
(2) Masturbation is not illegal. If it is not illegal to do it, why should it be illegal to sing about it?
(3) No medical evidence of hairy palms, warts, or blindness has been linked to masturbation or vaginal arousal, nor has it been proven that hearing references to either topic automatically turns the listener into a social liability.
(4) Enforcement of anti-masturbatory legislation could prove costly and time consuming.
(5) There is not enough prison space to hold all the children who do it.
The PMRC's proposal is most offensive in its "moral tone". It seems to enforce a set of implied religious values on its victims. Iran has a religious government. Good for them. I like having the capitol of the United States in Washington, DC, in spite of recent efforts to move it to Lynchburg, VA.
Fundamentalism is not a state religion. The PMRC's request for labels regarding sexually explicit lyrics, violence, drugs, alcohol, and especially occult content reads like a catalog of phenomena abhorrent to practitioners of that faith. How a person worships is a private matter, and should not be inflicted upon or exploited by others. Understanding the Fundamentalist leanings of this organization, I think it is fair to wonder if their rating system will eventually be extended to inform parents as to whether a musical group has homosexuals in it. Will the PMRC permit musical groups to exist, but only if gay members don't sing, and are not depicted on the album cover?
The PMRC has demanded that record companies "re-evaluate" the contracts of those groups who do things on stage that THEY find offensive. I remind the PMRC that groups are comprised of individuals. If one guy wiggles too much, does the whole band get an "X"? If the group gets dropped from the label as a result of this 're-evaluation' process, do the other guys in the group who weren't wiggling get to sue the guy who wiggled because he ruined their careers? Do the founders of the tax-exempt organization with no members plan to indemnify record companies for any losses incurred from unfavorably decided breach of contract suits, or is there a PMRC secret agent in the Justice Department?
Should individual musicians be rated? If so, who is qualified to determine if the guitar player is an "X", the vocalist is a "D/A" or the drummer is a "V". If the bass player (or his Senator) belongs to a religious group that dances around with poisonous snakes, does he get an "O"? What if he has an earring in one ear, wears an Italian Horn around his neck, sings about his astrological sign, practices yoga, reads the Quaballah, or owns a rosary? Will his "occult content" rating go into an old CoIntelPro computer, emerging later as a "fact", to determine if he qualifies for a home-owner loan? Will they tell you this is necessary to protect the folks next door from the possibility of 'devil-worship' lyrics creeping through the wall?
What hazards await the unfortunate retailer who accidently [sic] sells an "O" rated record to somebody's little Johnny? Nobody in Washington seemed to care when Christian Terrorists bombed abortion clinics in the name of Jesus. Will you care when the "Friends of the wives of big brother" blow up the shopping mall?
The PMRC wants ratings to start as of the date of their enactment. That leaves the current crop of 'objectionable material' untouched. What will be the status of recordings from that Golden Era to censorship? Do they become collector's items . . . or will another "fair and unbiased committee" order them destroyed in a public ceremony?
Bad facts make bad law, and people who write bad laws are, in my opinion, more dangerous than songwriters who celebrate sexuality. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religious Tthought [sic], and the Right to Due Process for composers, performers and retailers are imperiled if the PMRC and the major labels consummate this nasty bargain. Are we expected to give up Article One so the big guys can collect an extra dollar on every blank tape and 10 to 25% on tape recorders? What's going on here? Do WE get to vote on this tax? There's an awful lot of smoke pouring out of the legislative machinery used by the PMRC to inflate this issue. Try not to inhale it. Those responsible for the vandalism should pay for the damage by voluntarily rating themselves. If they refuse, perhaps the voters could assist in awarding the Congressional "X", the Congressional "D/A", the Congressional "V", and the Congressional "O". Just like the ladies say: these ratings are necessary to protect our children. I hope it's not too late to put them where they really belong.

STATEMENT BY FRANK ZAPPA
The establishment of a rating system, voluntary or otherwise, opens the door to an endless parade of Moral Quality Control Programs based on "Things Certain Christians Don't Like". What if the next bunch of Washington Wives demands a large yellow "J" on all material written or performed by Jews, in order to save helpless children from exposure to 'concealed Zionist doctrine'?
Record ratings are frequently compared to film ratings. Apart from the quantitative difference, there is another that is more important: People who act in films are hired to 'pretend'. No matter how the film is rated, it won't hurt them personally. Since many musicians write and perform their own material and stand by it as their art (whether you like it or not), an imposed rating will stigmatize them as individuals. How long before composers and performers are told to wear a festive little PMRC arm band with their Scarlet Letter on it?
The PMRC rating system restrains trade in one specific musical field: Rock. No ratings have been requested for Comedy records or Country Music. Is there anyone in the PMRC who can differentiate infallibly between Rock and Country Music? Artists in both fields cross stylistic lines. Some artists include comedy material. If an album is part Rock, part Country, part Comedy, what sort of label would it get? Shouldn't the ladies be warning everyone that inside those Country albums with the American Flags, the big trucks, and the atomic pompadours there lurks a fascinating variety of songs about sex, violence, alcohol, and the devil, recorded in a way that lets you hear every word, sung for you by people who have been to prison and are proud of it.
If enacted, the PMRC program would have the effect of protectionist legislation for the Country Music Industry, providing more security for cowboys than it does for children. One major retail outlet has already informed the Capitol Records sales staff that it would not purchase or display an album with any kind of sticker on it.
Another chain with outlets in shopping malls has been told by the landlord that if it racked "hard-rated albums" they would lose their lease. That opens up an awful lot of shelf space for somebody. Could it be that a certain Senatorial husband and wife team from Tennessee sees this as an 'affirmative action program' to benefit the suffering multitudes in Nashville?
Is the PMRC attempting to save future generations from SEX ITSELF? The type, the amount, and the timing of sexual information given to a child should be determined by the parents, not by people who are involved in a tax scheme cover-up.
The PMRC has concocted a Mythical Beast, and compounds the chicanery by demanding 'consumer guidelines' to keep it from inviting your children inside its sugar walls. Is the next step the adoption of a "PMRC National Legal Age For Comprehension of Vaginal Arousal". Many people in this room would gladly support such legislation, but, before they start drafting their bill, I urge them to consider these facts:
(1) There is no conclusive scientific evidence to support the claim that exposure to any form of music will cause the listener to commit a crime or damn his soul to hell.
(2) Masturbation is not illegal. If it is not illegal to do it, why should it be illegal to sing about it?
(3) No medical evidence of hairy palms, warts, or blindness has been linked to masturbation or vaginal arousal, nor has it been proven that hearing references to either topic automatically turns the listener into a social liability.
(4) Enforcement of anti-masturbatory legislation could prove costly and time consuming.
(5) There is not enough prison space to hold all the children who do it.
The PMRC's proposal is most offensive in its "moral tone". It seems to enforce a set of implied religious values on its victims. Iran has a religious government. Good for them. I like having the capitol of the United States in Washington, DC, in spite of recent efforts to move it to Lynchburg, VA.

More Liberal Hypocrisy
Ted Kennedy voted against CAFTA. His reason? Well according to his own website he says:
Kennedy Opposed CAFTA to Protect American Jobs Senator Kennedy opposed the Bush Administration’s Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) because it failed to protect American jobs and the rights of workers in Central America.
So he wants to protect American jobs by not exporting work to Central America, but he has no problem importing cheap labor?
Harry Reid voted NO on CAFTA
Nancy Pelosi voted NO on CAFTA and even had this to say:
I oppose CAFTA because it is a step backward for workers in Central America and a job killer here at home...
and she said: “Unfortunately, that is not that kind of trade agreement before us tonight. Instead, we are considering a trade agreement that promotes a race to the bottom that hurts U.S. workers,
There's more, but the question is, how are we protecting American jobs by importing cheap labor, and encouraging more cheap labor to come?
Could it be that the dems are promoting amnesty and don't want to close the borders because they feel this would increase their voter base?
Hmmm, i wonder......

Flight 93
So we are beaming forward toward the 5-year "anniversary" of 9/11. Cool. Wonder what they've got in store for us in the fall? I can't wait.
But hey! No need to wait for the September revelries. There are some tasty morsels in the offing! Oliver Stone is wrapping up his World Trade Center flick. And the Tribeca Film Festival (itself a child of 9/11) will be unveiling Flight 93 (the story of the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania, presumably taken down by its fearless passengers as it was racing to put a large flaming gash in the middle of the White House) this month.
How exciting! Hollywood is bringing us feature-length, disaster-docu-dramas to take us, one more time, back to that cloudless, timeless September day in 2001 so that we can cheerfully live through it all again. Only THIS TIME it will be so very UPCLOSEANDPERSONAL, it will be almost as if we are ON the airplanes, sharing the experience with the actual passengers and, in the case of Stone's film, we will be sharing the drama with the unwitting workers in the World Trade Center.
That Hollywood is SO amazing isn't it? Deja Vu! It's Conair and The Towering Inferno all over again! And they will be battling it out as this summer's blockbusters. All this, while continuing the time-honored tradition of milking every penny that can be sucked out of a gullible public for whom actual photos and video of real victims leaping to their deaths from 105 stories up just wasn't enough excitement.
We'll be getting Hollywood's best in sound and visual effects! Best in direction from Oliver Stone and "the Acclaimed Director of Bloody Sunday and The Bourne Supremecy." Not to mention, that hunky star, Nicholas Cage!
I am squirming in my chair, I can hardly wait for the merchandising.

Quick Question
I'm just curious, because i'm watching CNBC all day, and i'm seeing all of these protests by these immigrants, (mostly illegals from mexico i assume) and i'm thinking to myself, isn't it Monday? Shouldn't these "hardworking" people be AT WORK! I mean there's tens of thousands of people out there, in the middle of the day! In fact, it's almost 6pm on the east coast, i'm still at work but these "hardworking" people have been gathering all day in D.C. and there was 500,000 marching in Dallas over the weekend. They don't work weekends?
Anyway, i gotta get back to work.

Anita's Mascot of the Week
Once again, I'm so happy to be back blogging ... and particularly happy to be blogging here at The Aurora. I know that the blog has a tradition of "Mascot of the Week" ... so I've decided to jump right in an add my vote for this week's Mascot.
There's NOT A Hole In My Bucket Dear Libs Dear Libs
The downright hysteria of those on the left trying to bring down this administration without looking at the facts is downright hysterical. Its even more amusing to watch for me as someone who opposes the President on many of his policies but am not blinded by pure hatred of the man to see how misguided and incompetent the dems are in their opposition. They are a party without a plan. They are a party of hallmark ideo-illogically one-liners such as quagmires, wiretaps, racism, Vietnam, and in the case of the Vanity Fair model ... LEAKS! Well sometimes its necessary to reveal classified information, like when politicians that voted for the war before they voted against it ask for the information that led everybody to believe that Saddam had WMD's.
Sometimes theres such a thing as A Good Leak.

She Is Woman Hear Her Roar
At The Aurora.
In a continued effort to further appease the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, we have decided to add another "guest blogger" as a contributor. I now believe we finally have all bases covered to avoid any potential discrimination lawsuits, and there will be no more hirings within the immediate future although as a non-union shop we reserve the right to shitcan whoever whenever. So in the interest of Affirmative Action at The Aurora we will disclose a statistical breakdown of all non-paid employees:
Oppressive Grumpy Honky: Check
Follically Challenged Argumentative Mexican: Check
Colored-American: Check
and now finally...
Chick-American: Check
Let's hope she doesnt bring the Avian Flu to the Aurora.

Hippie History 101
I know how much you hippies out there like to compare Iraq to Vietnam, if for no other reason than you are secretly (and not so secretly) rooting for the same shameful retreat despite our military dominance. This is a free country and you are free to root against your country if you so choose, but do me a favor and get your facts straight. Vietnam was your golden knight from camelot's war not President Nixon's.
Thats right, the slippery slope that was the United States involvment in Vietnam was set in motion by the Kennedy White House's support of the assassination of popular Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem (and his brother---sound familiar?) leading to the destabilization of South Vietnam and the escalation of the US Military involvement. To sum it up Kennedy started it, Nixon ended it.
I realize you have as much an aversion to facts as you do to showers, but history is not your stink that you can mask with the lying aroma of patchouli. Peace.
Listen how heartbroke JFK is over the assassination that he casually interjects the discussion with baby talk about horses and summer sailing on the Cape. (here)

Winter Soldier Strikes Again
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Sen. John Kerry insists on proving that he can't be trusted. He made his political debut in 1970, joining the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, then accused American troops of war crimes in Vietnam -- and tried to deny he had done so. During his ill-fated presidential campaign, Kerry's hyperventilated claims to be a war hero were called into question by his own comrades. Now, the Democrat defeatist has published his formula for victory in Iraq: Just quit.

Are You Down With GOP
THIS WAS MY POST
Jesus is just alright with me, but hes really really really alright with Hillary. Shes mentioned Hay Zeus (shake it like a polaroid picture...hey yeah!) three times in the last month and in every instance implied that the Republicans would prosecute, persecute and imprison him. Basically they would treat him in every unpleasant way they could just short of nailing him to a cross. That would be asinine enough, but she takes it a step further by comparing herself and her policies to the Nazarene. This broad is frickin crazy. She is taking pandering to a new level. Wonder if she'll use that same schtick in Crown Heights. Or maybe she was just talking about her gardener Jesus Gomez in Chappaqua
THESE WERE THE RESPONSES
holy shit that's funny. but what's really funny is that the main stream media isn't calling her a religous zealot, and what about mixing church and state and whatever i was hearing when Bush said jesus was his favorite philosopher?
THEN
Separationists don't make distinctions about who you can admire philosophically or what a person practices. It refers simply to preferential use of resources that belong to the public. Bush can practice Wicca, Hillary can be an ordained priestess...has nothing to do with the law. The law refers to the use of a "resource" (money, physical, capital,etc.) and "preferential action" (display of ten commandments, christmas)with the use of that resource. It can be construed as endorsement, the exception being what is considered a "ceremonial exclusion" that has been upheld for such uses as the Pledge, currency, and certain ceremonies like oaths of office. Really, its not very hard to understand. Talking about Jesus, saying Merry Christmas, etc. do not pertain to the law as they are personal vs. state sanctioned applications.Did Hillary inscribe "Jesus Rocks" on a public building? No. So your point is....what? To try to paint unrelated acts as hypocrisy? The distinctions are very simple. Inflammatory language like "war on Christmas' just reveals ignorance of law. Again: Public resource, preferential regard. Those are the conditions. Make a flash card
THAT IS WHY REPUBLICANS WIN ELECTIONS.
MAKE A FLASH CARD.

"So um uh what made you get into carpentry
Id have to say Jesus"
Who Said it?
Who said this about a decade ago?
“In 1986, we granted amnesty--and I voted against that provision in law--we granted amnesty to 3.2 million illegal immigrants,” said the upstart. “After being in this country for 10 years, the average amnesty recipient had a sixth-grade education, earned less than $6 an hour, and presently qualifies for the earned-income tax credit.”
If making it easy to be an illegal alien is not enough, how about offering a reward for being an illegal immigrant?” he asked. “No sane country would do that, right? Guess again. If you break our laws by entering this country without permission and give birth to a child, we reward that child with U.S. citizenship and guarantee full access to all public and social services this society provides.”
“Under our immigration laws, cheaters tend to prosper.”
The Immigration Stabilization Act of 1993, among other things prohibited violators of immigration laws from filing for immigrant status. While introducing his legislation on the Senate floor, this man said it would
“rid this country of the burden of people who are known criminals who prey on the American public and become a drain on our resources.”
He then went on to promise
“an all-out crackdown against the practice of smuggling illegal aliens into the United States for profit. Our lax enforcement of immigration and asylum laws has created what can be termed as modern day slave trade.”
But now has this to say in support of Mclame and the Cape Cod Orca(props to the great one):
“Of course most of these eleven million pose no threat,”
“One crucial element of this strategy is to provide incentives for the undocumented immigrants already in the country to step out of the shadows,”
“Half a million people come across every year,” He said last week. “The fact is, our economy depends on them and absorbs them. Some sectors of the economy would literally shut down without them.”
Well if you guessed Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, You are correct. In fact, The Immigration Stabilization Act of 1993 was Reid's bill!
Hypocrite? Demagogue? Scumbag?

The first annual Aurora mixed social was a resounding hippie free success. It was great to meet so many readers I didnt know we had. Donsky's band kicked ass and the Continental was rocking (sorry dude it wasnt Freedom Rock). Its a shame that some of our regulars Fly Lily Anita and Rhino werent able to make it, but we drank a few shots in their name. The next annual meeting will be next month at my place and Scattergories will definitely not be on the menu. E f in Aw. Now say that last sentence faster.

The First Annual Auroran Meet And Greet
pussiliency is wrong
I cant think of a better opportunity to get all the Aurorans (I think were up to around seven readers now) into one room for some good ol' fashioned head banging fun. Did I mention that its free. Semi-regular commenter Ben Donksy's band BIG DICTATOR is playing at the semi-legendary Continental in NYC tonight at 9pm. So if youre in the 'hood stop in rock out and tip your bartenders. To prove Im not always grumpy, the first round is on me.

Are Facts Obsolete?
What is more frightening than any particular policy or ideology is the widespread habit of disregarding facts. Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey put it this way: "Demagoguery beats data." pussiliency is wrong

Toto I don't Think Were In Kirkuk Anymore
GEORGE BUSH HATES DUSTBOWLING BIBLE BELTERS!!!
These tornadoes make no sense. In the 2004 presidential election Bush carried every state afflicted except Illinois. Why the wrath W why? Looking back at Hurricane Katrina we know that Bush used his weather mastering powers to destroy N'Awlins for two reasons.
1. Increase business for the Port of Houston
2. He hates black people pussiliency is wrong
But this boggles the mind. These are his people, the trailer park constituency that propelled him to victory in the last two elections. All I can think is that its a reverse 'wag the dog' strategy, 'dog the wag' if you will. It is becoming abundantly clear to him that, right or wrong the Iraqi War is losing popular support. Americans just don't see the need for the spilling of American blood for the 'democrization of Babylon' What better way for George W (the Weathermaster) Bush to distract the public from the constant negative messages they are inundated with on their televisions radios and computers than to destroy all forms of media devices in their homes. So be it if he'll have to destroy the actual homes as well via the use of his Texas tornado tirade machine to accomplish his nefarious plan, with great power comes great irresponsibility. Dubya, this madness has to stop. Your manipulation of mother nature for political gain is getting out of control. Why punish me as well for living in the liberal mecca that is Manhattan. Its April gosh dangit George bring the spring already.
Any way the wind blows
Is a fine with me
Any way the wind blows
It don't matter to me
'Cause I'm thru with a fussin'
And-a fightin' with a you

Opening Shea Day
Well I was just going to make a few comments regarding Opening Shea Day, but due to heavy demand for a behind the scenes look into the life of the Fly, I et al...heres a quick post. Game related, it was a good showing offensively by some new Mets, like Lo Duca and Nady, with solid starting pitching from Glavine and lights out flame throwing by Billy Wagner. Defensively the entire team played well and the few mistakes they did make never came back to hurt them. As far as the best heterosexual third baseman in NYC David Wright, what can I say the kid is legit. Non game related it was a typical game for us. Fly was late and I was drunk by the time he showed up in the 4th inning. Drank beers, ate hot dogs, and the Mets won. Besides that nothing really to add except for the fact that due to the huge crowds and the fact we were all inebriated coupled with Fly's lateness that meant he was literally parked over a mile away at the Worlds Fair lot, so I asked a cop for a ride and to our surprise he said yes. I guess being mick paddy bastards still has some benefits in NYC. pussiliency is wrong

F Tha Police
Scenario:
You are a single parent (in this case a father) raising a two year old daughter in a crime ridden neighborhood. You are awoken in the middle of the night by masked gunmen. You own a gun.
but what if...
you killed one of them....
and they were cops
without a search warrant
and they had the wrong address
well if youre Corey Maye ....
Youre screwed!!!
"Under both Mississippi state law and the states constitution, Maye committed no crime. The state's law unjustifiable homicide" specifies that lethal force can be used "in the lawful defense of one's own person or any other human being, where there shall be reasonable ground to apprehend a design...to do some great personal injury, and there shall be imminent danger of such design being accomplished"
"The relevant Supreme Court precedent, the 1900 ruling John Bad Elk v. U.S., recognizes that when an officer of the law "is killed in the course of (a) disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the transaction when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from when it does if the officer has no such right What might be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might show no offense has been committed"
Sounds to me like he has the law on his side on this one yet he sits on Death Row (is the label that pays me) as we speak. Fight the power!
Free Corey!!!

What would you do? pussiliency is wrong
If you answered that you would exercise your constitutional right to bear arms, your legal right to protect your home and your fatherly obligation to defend your child in my opinion you would be right.but what if...
you killed one of them....
and they were cops
