Clinton presses on, urges supporters to ignore calls to quit

"Senator Obama's support among working, hardworking Americans, white Americans, is weakening again ... there's a pattern here," Clinton was quoted as saying.

Working-class whites overwhelmingly favor Clinton over Obama, and their view of the Illinois senator has grown increasingly negative since late last year, according to Associated Press-Yahoo News polling. In an AP-Yahoo survey a month ago, more than half — or 53 percent — of whites who have not finished college had negative impressions of Obama, up a 12 points since November.

So the only hard working Americans are white? And they won't vote for no damn uppity nigger?

Sure as shit there's a pattern there. It's called racism.

"We need to bring back hardworking people to the Democratic Party," the New York senator said. "I'm winning Catholic voters and Hispanic voters, blue-collar workers and seniors. People Senator McCain will need in the general election."

Again with the "hardworking" thing. Sounds like code for "current Democrats are mostly lazy niggers" to me.

And how about being thinly sliced by the the possible future President into neat piles of "needed things"?

On the plus side, Hill is strong among obese, bitter, biker lesbians with cankles.

Idaho student says teacher tossed his Mexican flag in trash

Clint Straatman denies Froylan Camelo's version of events but said he took the flag Monday because "white kids" might have hurt the 16-year-old. He said he put it in a garbage can because he had no place else to keep it.

"I had to confiscate it so it wouldn't escalate any problems in class," Straatman told The Times-News. "We're worried about that stuff all the time. "

Later, me and some of the boys will spend an hour raping your sister in order to keep her away from the bad fellas at the pool hall. We're worried about her, too, you know.

Marines ignore Taliban cash crop to not upset Afghan locals

The Marines of Bravo Company's 1st Platoon sleep beside a grove of poppies. Troops in the 2nd Platoon playfully swat at the heavy opium bulbs while walking through the fields. Afghan laborers scraping the plant's gooey resin smile and wave.

Hey, if you can't be in law enforcement, join the Marines if drugs are your thing.

75 students arrested in San Diego State University drug bust

"A sad commentary is that when one of these individuals was arrested, they inquired as (to) whether or not his arrest and incarceration would have an effect on him becoming a federal law enforcement officer," said Ralph Partridge, special agent in charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in San Diego.

So we can assume that it will affect his standing only if the shit he gets isn't primo?

Kentucky Derby champion loses his libido

"You name it we've tried it. We had him on Viagra -- that didn't work. I even went into (Sapporo's) red light district with 300,000 yen in cash and brought back a lot of 'special' medicine to try and perk him up.

"It's very odd. He's not impotent. He's just very choosy about his women. He's more human than animal. Basically he's a bit of a weirdo."

Whaaaat? You put your horse on Viagra and tripped into hookerville for a little equid giddy-up juice and the horse is the weirdo?

Maybe the poor guy is tired of performing for a bunch of sleazebag investors.

Clinton calls for gas tax vote, Obama calls it 'shell' game

Hillary Rodham Clinton called for a vote Friday in the Democratic-controlled Congress on a summertime suspension of the federal gasoline tax, a plan that Barack Obama dismissed as a political stunt that would cost thousands of construction jobs.

Our 50 to 70-year old national highway infrastructure is in dire need of repair and replacement. Until bridges start collapsing, the Congress will continue to back-burner the problem. Here Hillary wants to defund the already slow and expensive process for three months for the sake of her own Presidential apirations.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Prom invite is written on lacrosse players' bare bottoms

"Inappropriate is inappropriate," school athletic director Dottie Davis told The Ann Arbor News. "It disrespects women, and that's the clear message we need to have the students understand - what may be fun to them isn't necessarily fun to everyone else."

I'm at a complete loss. How does writing on your ass disrespect women?

There are a lot of things in this culture that disrespect women. High heels, padded bras, thongs, rap, most hip-hop, seven-eighths of the Religious Right, Botox, Revlon et. al., Cosmopolitan, daily dramas (soap operas), Hollywood, on and on...

Writing on your ass does NOT disrespect women.

US report says al-Qaida gaining strength

Al-Qaida has rebuilt some of its pre-Sept. 11 capabilities from remote hiding places in Pakistan, leading to a major spike in attacks last year in that country and neighboring Afghanistan, the Bush administration said Wednesday.

Attacks in Pakistan more than doubled from 375 to 887 between 2006 and 2007, and the number of fatalities jumped by almost 300 percent from 335 to 1,335, the State Department said in its annual terrorism report.

Well, as long as they're back to killing their own people and not threatening the American potato chip supply, John Q. Public won't care that this is another administration failure.

Blaming the victim: Abused Afghan women often end up in jail

"If my wife goes to the bazaar without my permission, I will kill her. This is our culture," Abdul Qayum shouted scornfully during an interview in his office in the city of Jalalabad.

His colleagues laughed approvingly. "This is Afghanistan, not America," Qayum said.

It's so good that America is wasting precious lives and spending untotaled billions in the forced displacement of one group of brutal assholes with another group of brutal assholes.

As is usual with our self-serving and short-sighted foreign policy, in the end we create more Saddams and more Talibans and more al-Qeadas for us to fight in twenty years.

It's good business for the American military-industrial complex and lots of fun for our politicians but the people of these cultures deserve better than what America forces onto them.

Sitting on the prison floor with a black scarf over her hair and shoulders, she described being married in Pakistan as a preteen to an abusive man, who fathered her son, Bilal.

"She spent several nights with the man," he said. "She committed adultery. It was rape, but the woman is also guilty."
