It appears that Keith Olbermann has lost yet another gig in broadcast "journalism." Of course it is not his fault. It never is. I would suggest Fox News give the guy a try. He would be the perfect "liberal" foil for some "conservative" talk show host or other. Likely Keith could not stand to be playing the role of the resident fruitloop though. His ego would demand that he be taken seriously (by at least someone). At some point in time a "normal" thinking person would look in the mirror and begin to realize that the problem just might be the person looking back at them. It is doubtful that Keith is capable of this type self reflection.
Frankly it doesn't matter where Keith goes as long as he forever is kept out of sports broadcasting. If you think he was/is a bombastic ass as far as political commentary is concerned, you should listen to him bray during a football game.
I hope he finds some non sports related broadcast gig. I like good comedy as much as the next guy.

Sheila Jackson Lee Strikes Again (and again)
I finally got around to watching the already "old news" of the Martin Bashir (MSNBC)/Sheila Jackson Lee interview. It is causing some stir around the Houston area, which is frankly hard to understand.Sheila always jumps to conclusions, says ridiculous things, provides high comedy, etc. etc. It is customary in these parts to call Sheila, "Dumbass Sheila Jackson Lee." It is well deserved. Frankly though in the interview this Bashir fruitloop was more inflammatory than Lee. I suppose that is nothing surprising. I have heard reports though that Sheila is insinuating that Zimmerman's broke his own nose. If she said this it would be rather typical of her. She rarely disappoints.
I did agree that some of the "character assassinations" that some are leveling on this deceased young man (Martin) are unbecoming and rather odd. It is being reported that he may have been caught with suspicious (burglary?) tools at one time. It is also noted that he may have had some other items in his possession (in the past) that seemed, shall we say, out of place. It is further noted that he may have enjoyed a little herb now and then.(I would say "who doesn't" but I haven't partaken in years) None of these things matter however. The only thing that matters is that the authorities get to the bottom of the whole episode (If they have not already). It may be hard for these same authorities to remain impartial now that what passes for the media is calling for Zimmerman's arrest though. The police have not made this arrest however, and that could lead one to believe that perhaps no crime was committed under the laws of the state of Florida. Matters not really whether the law is a "good one" or that some people find it odious. This should not play into the conversation.
It seems that the facts have been distorted and all sorts of folk have an axe to grind here. No one really knows for sure what happened. Perhaps there was (and is) no justification for arrest. Perhaps there is. I don't know and neither does the New Black Panther Party.
In other related news - did I read that Rosanne Barr has been going around "tweeting" Zimmerman's address? Apparently she "tweeted and deleted" as they say. What is wrong with this woman? I guess that is a stupid question.
Spike Lee (who?) apparently is remorseful for "tweeting" (that sounds so silly) the wrong address. Instead of Zimmerman's address he broadcast the home address of some folk by the name of McClain. Thank goodness there was not a violent episode. As it is this Lee needs to pony up some bucks for this serious error in judgement. A couple million might do for starters. Spike Lee is a forgettable fool. Nothing more.
This thing has died down somewhat (at this time) on the "news" channels. It could be that they have figured that this wasn't the case that would further inflame the populace (and jack up their ratings) after all. They shouldn't worry though. Something else will be right around the corner.
There always is.

The Stripping Journalist Of Houston. Rule 5 Alert
Tuesday, March 27, 2012
The Clown Circus Is In Full Swing
The Zimmerman/Martin incident is now getting full bore coverage in what passes for the news media these days. Non stop. As everyone figured; it has become an overblown circus.
Whether or not this "white" Hispanic (what?) Zimmerman is guilty of any legal (or moral) wrongdoing has become moot at this point. He has been convicted in the court of "public" opinion and that is the only thing that matters apparently. He is being "hunted" by a modern day lynch mob that would like nothing more than to see him strung up. This is where we are with this and no mistake.
Some of the players......
By now everyone knows of the reward that these Panthers are offering for the capture of Zimmerman. These demi terrorists are perhaps too dumb to realize that they may be in violation of federal law in doing so. The Panthers are infuriating frankly. I wonder if they know that their para military "uniform" makes them look like so many janitors. (Any insult to custodians not intended). The country would be better off shed of this Panther posse.
It is also known that one Spike Lee (who?) has been "Tweeting" Zimmerman's address. Pretty irresponsible and, at the very least, opens him up to civil liability (should there be an "incident"). It is likely that this Lee is not quite smart enough to grasp this.
As usual His Holiness Al Sharpton is on the warpath. It doesn't matter whether or not he has his facts right, that has been past proven, but what matters is that he stirs the pot (and gets paid in the process). Nothing surprising there.
Same with the Very Reverend Jackson. He doesn't seem to have his edge anymore. Perhaps his marketing acumen is slipping somewhat? He is doing his best to stay "relevant" though. Gotta give him credit for that. He is really trying to matter. Does he still have enough in the tank to go loose women hunting? I suppose that is what we should be asking. That is what allegedly is his real specialty.
Martin's mother, one Sybrina Fulton, is getting in on the act in a rather odious (but frankly quite business like way). Her grief is not to be discounted by any normal human. When one hears however that she has filed a "trademark" application on her son's name.....well, something is rather sickening about that. She wants to get paid obviously and paid she will be. It is rather certain she did not think this little trick up all by herself. That is what lawyers are for after all. As disgusting as this appears (and is), it certainly is smart business.
Now we come to the President of the United States. My God! His remarks the other day have done nothing more than fan the flames. Perhaps it was a calculated statement made for political reasons. Perhaps is was just an off the cuff comment that was stupidly made. Hard to say. Either way, the man has shown for certain that he just does not have what it takes to be the leader of the most powerful nation on earth. Instead of using his influence to cool this thing down, his ill timed statement has likely made the problem worse.
A good deal has been made about this Zimmerman being a "white" Hispanic. Of course, technically, those putting out this drivel for consumption are correct. Not in the way they intend though. What they are aiming for is to show that Zimmerman is really "more of a white guy" than a Latino. His last name after all.....That makes it "fit" you see. A minority just doesn't go after another minority with evil intent in their make believe world. But a white man does (and does it for pleasure according to some of these folk). Facts don't matter.
I mention these "journalists" are technically correct though when portraying Zimmerman as "white." Contrary to popular belief there are only three racial groups; Negroid, Caucasian, and Mongoloid. Some add a fourth group that is termed Australoid. No matter. Hispanics (except those who are of mixed (real) race) fall into the Caucasian category. There you have it. Hispanic is not a "race" but rather one of various ethnic groups. This is something that the folk at La Raza and LULAC would likely disagree with but then again many of them are idiots.
One thing that will happen here is that the fedgov will begin to look into these so called "castle or "stand your ground" laws that various states have in place. Here in the Lone Star Republic we are perfectly within our right to shoot a mothafokka that trespasses with evil intent. That won't ever change here no matter which political party happens to control the governing apparatus at any given time. One can be certain of that. A "castle" law does not mean however than one can pursue a criminal and shoot after the danger is passed. It is possible that this Zimmerman may have done just that (if indeed there was any danger at all). That is what some are accusing him of. I suppose we will find out soon enough.......or not.
Meanwhile in Afghanistan and other useless dung heaps, our service members of all races, ethnic and economic backgrounds, etc. etc. have each others (and our) back and are defending this country.
Are we worth it?

A Bit More Wisdom From These Cool Cats and A Loser Tweets.
More quotes from these "Panthers" on the Zimmerman/Martin episode. It is well known now that they are offering 10,000 bucks to deliver him to "the authorities." Don't you think perhaps the authorities already know where the man is? He is in hiding, but not from the police. Is the New Black Panther Party publicly calling for the federal crime of kidnapping? This appears to be the case. Add this to the already famous Spike Lee "Tweets" and we have a prescription for a further disaster on our hands. One this nation can ill afford to deal with. Cool heads need to prevail here. Quickly.
We will reward that individual or group of people who take George Zimmerman into custody and we will deliver him to the authorities. They would be better off holding him than letting him out on the street because there is an angry mindset among black people," said Mikhail Muhammad of the New Black Panther Party, a black political organization that takes its name from the radical movement of the 1960s.

Did Dick Wait In Line?
Well Dick Cheney has a new heart. Without getting into the "he never had one" jokes, etc., a very serious question needs to be asked. Did he wait in line like everyone else? Did his "new" heart mean that a young person, with a whole life ahead of them, is still waiting behind this cock? I don't know. Do you? Can you guess where my money is?

And It Begins to Spin Out of Control
It’s time for us as black men, to take justice in our own hands,” said Mikhail Muhammad of the New Black Panther Party.

It seems that the "New" Black Panther Party is taking matters into their own hands. Or at least they would like to. What we have with these Panthers is nothing more than the Black version of The Covenant, The Sword and The Arm of the Lord. Remember them? Scum is scum and these Panthers qualify. No better than the Klan are these animals.
The Zimmerman/Martin episode has to be handled by legitimate authority. These "Panthers" are neither legitimate nor authority. This is a fact that they will likely learn the hard way.
