Tsunami jokes are approved of on this blog – Post your own!

Just another day in the land of the thin skinned mewling pussies as Gilbert Gottfried is fired from being the duck voice on the Aflac commercials because he posted jokes about the Japan earthquake/tsunami/meltdown/holyfuckingshitmess to his twitter account. (source) This is the same Gilbert Gottfried who spawned the “raped and murdered a girl in 1990” humor genre. This is the

This is how you stop bullying: Casey Heynes FTW!

Bullying. What a great buzzword. Everyone hates a bully. The “fight against bullying” plays into our “be scared of everything” national psyche. Schoolyard bullying. Cyber-bullying. And lets all run out and pass new laws… because that’s how the land of the free deals with its problems. The academic circle jerk mangina crowd loves the concept. It lets them whine into

tamtampamela got us! D'oh!

The video in yesterday’s post, Do you need more evidence that Marx was right about religion? was apparently not for real. The girl in the video makes “troll videos.” (source) She got us. She got us good. 180. Well played tamtampamela, well played!

More TSA idiocy

A couple of orthodox Jews engaged in a pretty common prayer ritual, where they wrap leather straps on their forearms and lash a little leather box to their foreheads. The cockpit was placed on a security lockdown for the rest of the flight _ meaning the door couldn’t be opened even for pilots to leave briefly. Normal protocol calls for

Band Geeks? I think not.

Far be it for me to deem a term to be banned from use, but I can certainly proclaim that “band geek” no longer has any meaning, thanks to the George Mason University Green Machine. BAND BLOW YOUR MIND. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqG4oSfQYIY] H/T: Janelle

You reap what you sow, so eat sand Flori-duh poors

America’s wang just couldn’t deal with those unemployment kings and queens living large on their $275 per week for 26 weeks. The Flori-duh house just passed a bill that would cut state unemployment benefits to 20 weeks for a maximum payout of $5,500. (source) Florida’s unemployment benefits are also among the least generous in the nation. Florida’s maximum weekly check

Around the Intertubes – March 13, 2011

By J. DeVoy Some recent finds that warrant sharing: At the re-vamped In Mala Fide, in which godfather Ferdinand Bardamu has assembled a stable of bloggers for a contribution-based society and political forum, 4chan and Anonymous receive an interesting and in-depth treatment.  As the workforce and academy become more feminine, and men participate less in education, the workforce and their

This Just In: Bob Schieffer gets it dead wrong

Dear Bob, I have always been a fan. Therefore, I was very disappointed to read your recent column about the Westboro Baptist Church and the Snyder v. Phelps decision. In it you wrote: I’ve spent most of my life defending the First Amendment. But when the Supreme Court ruled last week that it gave a church group the right to

Live Free or Die! I love the 603

New Hampshire is the safest place to run a porn company. Its State Supreme Court ruled in New Hampshire v. Theriault that applying the prostitution laws to erotic film production was not only a misapplication of the prostitution laws, but it was a violation of the New Hampshire Constitution’s free speech provisions. (post) Meanwhile, a newly-elected state rep in New

Why the Westboro case should be porn’s victory as well

By J. DeVoy Mark Kernes has an insightful piece at AVN about what the Westboro case (Snyder v. Phelps – read Randazza’s commentary here) means to porn – or should have meant, if the Roberts court wasn’t consciously out to limit the Court’s holding to the facts in Snyder.  Going beyond the political dimension of public concern, why aren’t matters

March 9, 2011 – the point of no return

By J. DeVoy Well, America, it’s been a fun ride, but I think we should be parting ways sooner rather than later.  We had a lot of good times together and I like a lot about you – your size and resources, the rule of law and well-defined rights for others – but I just don’t think it’s going to

At least something is sacred

With all this talk about budget cuts across the board, at least there is something in the budget that will be kept sacred. Food for the hungry? Nope. Medical care? Nah. Social security? Nopers. Military aid to Israel.

Any readers on active duty? Operation Mesoporntamia

I had a good friend who was serving in Iraq. The only thing he wanted in care packages was high quality pornography. He is back now, and I have piles and piles of porn, generously donated by my clients, to give away. This porn is earmarked for active duty service members who are deployed overseas in a place where you

Well that figures

I was just chuckling at myself, for being such a moron that I bought into that HOPE crap. Just to see what was there, I navigated over to HOPE.com. I found a completely appropriate web page there, a pay per click page that was full of links to worthless crap about loan modifications, debt consolidation, foreclosures, and online schools.

Fourth Circuit: You don’t have to choose between girls and booze

By Randazza & DeVoy In this recently released opinion from the Fourth Circuit, Gentlemen’s Clubs have won an important victory in their ability to serve alcohol as well as T’n’A on premises.  The decision in Miller (Defendant-Appellant) v. Legend Night Club (Plaintiff-Appellee), Case No. 09-1540, released today, holds that a Maryland Statute that restricts the activities allowed at an alcohol-serving

Stuff you can't do

If you’re a cop, you can’t pretend to be an inmate’s lawyer so that you can gather confidential information from the inmate to use against him in his prosecution. (source) If you’re a lawyer and you omit portions of a quote from a court opinion, you can’t do it without using ellipses to show that you’ve omitted something. This is
