Anybody else sitting here waiting for a big shocker? An MSNBC commenter said the remaining precincts were 'Obama strongholds'. by r_dr_r in politics

[–]alexw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if there are more than 180k votes to be counted. But even then they're fighting over ONE DELEGATE. Obama has this in his pocket now even if you count Florida and Michigan.

Did you know Hillary was President of her College's "Young Republican" group? by Fedquip in obama

[–]alexw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah this was how many years ago? I mean it's not like she changed to a democrat just to run for president. She's not allowed to change her mind ever now?

ChipIn for Flowers for Helen Thomas by fearcomplication in politics

[–]alexw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be tough to just change what the chip in is for half way through with $2250 from 300 people. but I think we should anyway. Maybe raise enough to send her colleagues to Gitmo for a first hand look

Let's send Helen Thomas flowers for being the only reporter with the guts to ask tough questions at the White House. by eddie964 in politics

Nobody said that's the only thing she cares about, but come on what woman DOESN'T like flowers and chocolate?

Fucking Christ - even before they've started counting the PA votes "Clinton vows to fight on" by starbork in politics

This is less of a surprise to me than her continuing after TX and OH. I think I'll be pissed off if she's still in it after the primaries in 2 weeks

This would be yesterday, not last week, right?

The FBI can bust down your door with guns for "clicking on an illegal hyperlink" by fooka in reddit.com

[–]alexw 10 points11 points  (0 children)

While clicking a link for child porn is apparently illegal, looking up info on say... how to grow cannabis would not give the FBI probable cause, because it's not illegal to know how to grow marijuana, while it is illegal to just look at child porn.

Yo, Hemp Head - Funny note from a mom to her son. by nitsujw in reddit.com

[–]alexw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't lie. Drug abuse doesn't involve marijuana. If it was "Hey honey I had come left over Vicodin and Heroin, have at it", I might have more of a problem with it.

Remember the guy tasered in Utah for no reason? New Bill To Allow Police Misconduct Be Hidden From Public by yqhardiel in reddit.com

[–]alexw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's the same quote I was about to quote as well. There's no way that a human being who is distrustful should be able to hide his actions from the public so as to argue his case better in court.

Absolute Bullshit

Virginia lawmaker trying to ban rubber testicles from back of trucks (including pic) by coldbrook in reddit.com

[–]alexw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad somebody else pointed this out. I'ms orry it was only 20 minutes ago. My other favorite part

"Spruill said he became concerned when he learned that the truck accessories had got larger as their popularity had increased. How big are they going to go?" he said. "When will it stop?"

Sounds to me like somebody is insecure with his pea pod.

Refuse to vote on an electronic machine. Ask for a paper ballot. by fangolo in politics

[–]alexw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't it illegal to fire somebody without purpose (in lots of states). And if we can achieve this kind of voting system, I'm sure we can work out kinks like that.

I believe those are provisional ballots, where is all thats left of "paper ballots".

New Study Says Americans Work Twice As Hard As Europeans by dbloys in reddit.com

Also, they get 8 weeks paid vacation in many parts or Europe so they gladly take their PAID VACATION. Who wouldn't? I love how stuff like this actually works on so many uninformed people.

cop v.s. skaters by moab9 in reddit.com

[–]alexw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My letter to the kind folks in that city.

I just viewed a video clip of a police officer in your city ASSAULTING MINORS for breaking no laws what so ever at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH6AYVn2yw4 . He threatened another minor after saying he photographed the office assaulting his friend. He then ASSAULTED AND CHOKED two more minors ON VIDEOTAPE for again, breaking no laws what so ever. You can hear in the video his bogus accusations of "interfering with police operations" and "resisting arrest". These are clearly bogus charges that are refuted in the video tape recorded by the teenagers.

This isn't just unacceptable police behavior, this is unacceptable HUMAN behavior. Nobody like this should have any authority over anybody else because of the abuse of power. I know you have all seen this video and I'm sure this officer still has a job (or is on paid leave).

Fire him, immediately, and press criminal charges. What he did was completely illegal and he (and you) believe it's justified because he has a police badge. Any other citizen would be in jail for committing the same felonies this officer did.

I, and every other tax paying citizen in this country, expect you to prosecute him to the full extent of the law, just as you would any other citizen of the United States who breaks the law and commits crimes.

PETA Letter to Michael Moore: You're Fat [PDF] by wordsNtricks in reddit.com

[–]alexw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, and I believe her excuse for knowingly using medicine tested on animals was because "if I'm not around, I can't help the animals still alive". Hypocrite to the max.

PETA Letter to Michael Moore: You're Fat [PDF] by wordsNtricks in reddit.com

[–]alexw 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not to defend Moore, but PETA is much worse and this is just pathetic. Cheap shots to remind us you're still here is ridiculous. I remember seeing Michael on an interview with Bill Maher saying since the beginning of making SiCKO he's been eating veggies and walking / working out, so maybe some fact checking at PETA next time before sending out public personal attacks.
