I’ve had to temporarily disable comments on a couple of posts to try and stem a spam attack that Askimet seems powerless to stop. It’s not site-wide, only a few posts, but until then, if you find a locked post that you must comment on, write me at greg (a) suspect-device dot com and I’ll put it up for you.

Daily Kos: A Note to Louisiana’s Parents. Gosh it all sounds so pretty and nice.
1 commentState Sen. Mike Michot writes an open letter to his constituents
Sadly, it’s identical to the letters that Sen. Marionneaux and Sen. Jackson sent to their constituents.
Form letters FTW!
1 commentmy god it’s full of tards
Your Right Hand Thief alerts us to this mind-boggling tidbit:
Cindy Vo faced the audience at Ellender High School’s graduation last month wearing a valedictorian’s vestments.The American-born daughter of Vietnamese immigrants spoke of high-school memories, friends and the future. Then she recited a sentence in Vietnamese, dedicated to her parents as they looked on.
“Co len minh khong bang ai, co suon khong ai bang minh,” she said into the microphone.
The 18-year-old graduate told classmates that the line, roughly translated, was a command to always be your own person.
That part of her speech has resulted in unintended consequences that may affect how local public-school graduations ceremonies function in the future.
Some Terrebonne Parish school officials now say all commencement speeches should be spoken in English only, and they want a formal rule that says so.
Just … just quit, Terrebonne Parish school officials, just quit and walk into the swamp until the water is over your head. Just leave. You (and your similarly challenged brethren over in Tangipahoa) are too dumb to be in charge. Of anything. I mean I would love to be more clever about this but holy cow are you people stupid. I. Wow. This is … my god, is this Absolute Dumbass? Am I seeing the next step in human de-evolution?

3 commentsThe War on Dumb: Dispatches From the Front
The insurgency takes back some ground: The Wuss signs us all up for magic classes! And not just ID in biology classes, but now the freedom, the FREEDOM — good God, just smell that air — the FREEDOM to finally have
open and objective discussion of scientific theories being studied including, but not limited to, evolution, the origins of life, global warming and human cloning.
As opposed to before, when discussion was not permitted under the People’s Glorious Re-Education Collective Charter.
Now, see, there’s also this, where The Wuss acts like he doesn’t know that there were plenty of oil spills due to Katrina. One might be forgiven for thinking that this, along with signing the Dumb-it-down-a-little bill, makes PBJ look stupid.
But in fact, the oil spill lie is a new talking point, and one that somehow is supposed to line up logically with a republican push for more offshore oil drilling, along with Convict Brown’s Very Important Point that the rigs can act as reefs for the gaily colored fishies. You and I might think it makes PBJ look stupid, but you and I would be in the minority, in much the same way the people in zombie movies always think the rotting zombies look really gross while the other zombies don’t even seem to notice.
EDIT: split infinitive ftw
Speaking of rotting zombies, please be aware that your water will soon be drugged and you will all turn into communist junkie faggot slaves. Do not resist. Join usssssss.
Close readers of this blog will remember passing mention of Stephen Hatfill, the LSU researcher who was hounded out his job under suspicion of anthrax hijinks. He just won a settlement against the Justice Department to the tune of $4 million. Darrell Darnell was one of he government employees tasked by John Ashcroft with hounding Hatfill; after a job well done there, he joined IEM before moving to DC. Got to keep up with the players. Never know where it might lead. (Whistles noncahlantly)
LOGIC PUZZLE TIME!
Figure this the fuck out:
Now, we’d like to see some investigative reporting into the differences between the Gulf Coast in 2005 and the Upper Midwest in ‘08. We’re not prepared to accept on FEMA’s say-so that its leaders learned the lessons of Katrina and everything works now. It’s possible that Katrina was simply a harder-to-manage challenge because it was such a massive storm and because it hit an area (especially New Orleans and Louisiana) with weak social structures and poor government.Either way, though, the claims that Bush deliberately neglected disaster preparedness have been disproved. If the Katrina-era problems have been remedied, then the Bush administration’s shortcomings were real but inadvertent. If not, then FEMA always was up to the task of an ordinary-scale disaster, and those who expected better of it in Katrina were unrealistic.
Show your work.

Bill Clinton says Barack Obama must ‘kiss my ass’ for his support:
It has long been known that Mr Clinton is angry at the way his own reputation was tarnished during the primary battle when several of his comments were interpreted as racist.But his lingering fury has shocked his friends. The Democrat told the Telegraph: “He’s been angry for a while. But everyone thought he would get over it. He hasn’t. I’ve spoken to a couple of people who he’s been in contact with and he is mad as hell.
“He’s saying he’s not going to reach out, that Obama has to come to him. One person told me that Bill said Obama would have to quote kiss my ass close quote, if he wants his support.
“You can’t talk like that about Obama - he’s the nominee of your party, not some house boy you can order around.”
Why Bill thinks he’s owed an ass kissing by ANYONE, especially in lieu of the ass kicking he so richly deserves, beggars belief. Sit down and shut up, okay, Cooter?
No commentsDavid Vitter : not funny any more
Yes, I laughed, a bitter, cynical cackle, when Diaper Dave Vitter and Larry “Skip to my Loo” Craig teamed up with a rogue’s gallery of far-right roasts-who-walk to sponsor yet another Defense of Marriage Bill. O yes I laughed. I laughed a little less when Mr. Poopants co-sponsored a bill to allow concealed weapons permit holders to carry over that permit to any old state, a bill that seems to be designed not to address any particular need (or have any great effect, unless I’m missing something), but to throw a little treat to the Freepers and Values Voters who make up a good portion of Dave’s constituency, along with Golf Club Republicans, Good Ole Boy Oilmen, and of course whores. But now, Sen. Shits-n-Giggles has joined with an even uglier crew to torpedo Bush’s African AIDS prevention program because it favors treatment over pious lectures about abstinence.
Bush’s AIDS program has been his one true great success, a valuable and lifesaving program that has been praised by republicans and democrats alike. Vitter and his six asshole buddies have hogtied a bill that is supported by the White House, Mitch McConnell, Harry Reid, and Desmond Tutu, and which would expand the program outside of Africa, potentially saving thousands of lives, because of
the inclusion of funding for agricultural-assistance and poverty-alleviation programs.“The bills’ support would allow morally questionable activities, including advocating with host governments to change gender norms and policies and promoting activities that could include needle distribution to drug users,” the senators wrote.
Gay talk! Needles! Can’t have that. Better to lecture the wogs about bedroom decorum and let them die for their sins.
Someone has advised Vitter to play up his conservative cred. And he’s now doing it at the expense of the lives of thousands of poor, sick, dying people who could be saved.
I used to have a few good things to say about Vitter; I admired his anti-gambling stance and his refusal to cower to Mike Foster and the gambling lobby. He’s not dumb; he’s a Harvard grad and a Rhodes Scholar. I can only conclude that he’s a rotten, heartless fucker.
Someone with more influence than whoever is whispering in Vitter’s ear will tell these clowns to step aside; this bill is too good a resume item to let it be destroyed by these losers. But Vitter has proven that his idiot ideology has finally conquered both his intellect and his human heart.
You’re a pig, Dave, and I eagerly await the day that my own servitude in Hell will be brightened by your gibbering shrieks as the white-hot cock of Satan corkscrews its way up your undiapered, poopless tooter. I will pause in my agonies, let the screams waft over me as if they were a cool spring breeze, and be comforted.
2 commentsIrony? Chutzpah? There needs to be a word for this. Something German.
Via Your Right Hand Thief comes the news:
Sens. Craig and Vitter team up to co-sponsor Marriage Protection Amendment.Larry Craig and David Vitter — “two United States Senators implicated in extramarital sexual activity” — have named themselves as co-sponsors of S.J. Res. 43, the Marriage Protection Amendment. If passed, the bill would amend the Constitution to declare that marriage “shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman.”
WHAT
Jindal, stung by “lacking balls” criticisms, lashes out
Convicted sex offenders — OFF WITH YOUR BALLS!
SO. Trying to become the only state in the union with a death penalty for child rape — not that I’m opposed to such a thing, provided we get our definitions of “child” and “rape” squared away and can be 100% positively sure that we have the right rapist, should a rape indeed have occurred — our demon-fighting governor, who’s too chickenshit to stand up to the legislature, is attempting to prove his boner fides by ordering the castration (chemical or analog, up to the guest) of convicted sex offenders.
Grow the fuck up, you little weed. Get serious. Is executing people and or cutting their marbles off really the top priority for this state? Let me help you: no, it isn’t.
1 commentAn uncomfortable truth to be well mark’d by those who blogge
In general elections, primary candidates move toward the center.
Deal with it.
Those of you mad at Obama right now and whining about voting for McCain, someone else or NOT voting, better get your shit together and understand the consequences of what you truly wish to live under.7 comments
Obama fucks one up, bad
Caving on FISA/Telecom immunty is unacceptable. As of now, like Sifu Tweety, I’ll still vote for him. But that bumpersticker says it all.

George Carlin, dead at 71. First record I ever bought was Class Clown. My dad made me take it back and yelled at the Shopko clerk for selling it to me (I was maybe 9).
Even though I thought he became more bitter and less funny as he aged, he was a major influence on my thinking and my humor and I’ll miss him.
5 commentsIt’s like he left already!
Jindal sets record on laws without his signature. Twice as many in six months as Foster did in eight years.
Go ahead and quit to be VP, Bobby. It’s not like we’ll be missing anything.
