GREETINGS FROM THE RANDOM STUFF GENERATOR

Prez Obama has been rather stoic when it comes to the oil spill crisis in the Gulf of Mexico, the high unemployment, the battle to secure the borders, the economy…. but a Rolling Stone article on General McChrystal which criticizes our Ear Leader sends him into spittles of fury. I guess he found the ass that needed kicking.

Once you take the step to informally declare your city a “sanctuary” city, you should be prepared for the consequences. The city of Maywood, CA, will be laying off all city employees and dismantling their police department, choosing to save money by contracting all services to L.A. and Bell. This should come as no surprise to the council, seing as 50% of the 97% “Latino” population of the town is “undocumented” *spit*.

The Federal government has decided to ban the the dredging of sand to build berms to block the oil. Their reason: F&W is concerned about the ecological impact. I guess the morons were absent from school the day they covered oil spills in Ecology 101, and don’t watch any Dawn dishwashing liquid commercials.

Over at the Puffy Ho, we have Frank Schaeffer calling for the “eradication” of fundamentalist religions. And by “fundamentalist religions” he means Christianity and Judaism. He says, “the [Holy] Bible is nuts in many places. Who follows this stuff? No one!”, which should come as a surprise to the 76% of Americans that consider themselves Christian. I suppose he got fed up with Christians strapping bombs and going splodey in marketplaces.

Over Down Under, Australian Prime Minister Kevin “I’m a Leftist Tool” Rudd called for a leadership vote after his deputy PM Julia “I’m a Bigger Leftist Tool” Gilliard challenged him for the leadership of the government. This comes right before the G 20 meeting in Canada, and a few months before the Australian national elections. It’s a Celebrity Deathmatch, and the loser will be Australia.

And lastly, Prez Obama finally found something that was “less offensive” than the bust of Sir Winston Churchill that he packed off to the British Embassy. As Hank Scorpio replied when he saw it:

Well, it’s accurate. Shit floats.

Y’all have a great week
