Permanent Memorial to Dead Sociopathic Thug

At least these black nut-cases have a sense of humor.  Check out the memorial plaque they prepared for a vicious sociopathic thug who had just finished the strong-arm robbery of a convenience store when he forced a police officer to shoot him in self-defense:

Idiot Michael Brown Sr. reveals plaque that will be placed in street for a permanent memorial
http://fox2now.com/2015/05/20/ferguson-paving-project-may-impact-michael-brown-memorial/

The permanent memorial is meant to replace a pile of trash in the middle of the road, which was appropriate, especially considering that Brown's fateful confrontation with the police occurred because he was walking... high on drugs and with stolen merchandise... down the middle of the road.  How permanent the memorial actually proves to be depends on how long it takes for one of Brown's colleagues to pry it lose and try to sell it for drug money.  There is no chance of a culture that regards Michael Brown as a hero standing on its own two feet.

Saying Good-bye to David Letterman

Posted on May 19, 2015   
by Anthony Sacramone

That is so 1981.

You see, I tried to get a job writing for Letterman when he had a morning show, back in 1980 and I was at NYU. I sent a bunch of material and received this in response:

Then the word went out that Letterman was getting a late night show. So, having been told they could not accept material, only a resume, I sent them a resume, care of 30 Rock (please keep in mind that this was written in late 1981):

OK, so it's not exactly Swift or Wilde, but I was barely out of my teens. And those pencil markings? They're from Merrill Markoe, co-creator of Late Night and Letterman's head writer (and significant other, as they used to say). Along with my phony résumé, I sent two postcards: One said, "Keep your day job." The other said, "We loved your resume and would love to see samples of your work."

Markoe sent me that one:

So I sent her material: 21 ideas, along with some sketches. Among the ideas:

(2) David "visits" prisons across the country and interviews those prisoners on death row. He asks embarrassing questions ("Where do you get your hair cut?"), steals french fries from their last meals, and offers some small token (a giant chocolate Kiss, small wool, one of those glass balls you shake and it snows on a Bavarian town, etc.), from Late Night.

(11) David and Larry Bud perform in a radio drama based on a little known work of science fiction in a vain attempt to terrorize credulous Americans. An operator can be stationed at a switchboard waiting for it to light up with hysterical callers.

(12) David is surrounded by a gaggle of moon-faced kids as he attempts to dispel the myths and lies their parents have fed them concerning everything from Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny to sex and insurance.

(13) David offers a list of weak and unstable countries for America to go to war with in an effort to revitalize the economy.

And so on.

This is what Markoe wrote back:

Now, I had an uncle who worked at NBC at the time as a video tape editor. He started by editing The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson when it was still taped in New York. I got to visit the set one day, and remember like it was 30 years ago how small it was, and the fact that there was a sheet thrown over Johnny's desk. My uncle later went on to work for NBC Sports and won two Emmys: for work he did on the World Series (I forget the year) and for the Olympics.

In an attempt to help me get a foot in the door, Unc strolled over to the Letterman offices, and talked with Markoe. She was sincere in her desire to hire me, but the staff was closed and she didn't have the budget to add another writer. (It seems those who were hired weren't crazy about the pay: it was a mere $1,500 a week. At the time, I was making $3.65 an hour as a part-time clerk at Barnes and Noble.) She did pass alg a phone number to the office so I could check in periodically.

Which I did. Like clockwork. Unfortunately, Markoe moved on, and the new head writer had no idea who I was and couldn't have cared less. He intended to staff up with hip Ivy Leaguers, and a working-class kid from Queens with a degree from NYU wasn't going to cut it.

Am I bitter? Of course. Do I curse my fate every single day? Of course. Do I believe that everything works out for the best? Of course not. Do I believe I will regret this lost opportunity even through eternity such that heaven will be a living hell?

OK, that's a bit much...everybody just calm down, a little perspective...

The funniest rejection letter I ever got (with the possible exception of the one I got from MAD magazine when I was in high school) was from Bob & Ray (Bob being the father of Chris Elliott, who would go on to be a regular on Letterman's show, as the guy under the couch).

Read the names along the borders of the letter:

I leave you with Bob & Ray:

79 Members Of Congress Have Been In Office For At Least 20 Years

By Michael Snyder, on May 17th, 2015

No wonder Washington never changes – 79 members of Congress have been there since Bill Clinton's first term in the White House.  This list includes names such as Reid, Feinstein, McConnell, McCain, Pelosi, Boehner, Rangel and Boxer.  In this article, I am going to share with you a complete list of the members of Congress that have been "serving" us for at least 20 years.  They believe that they are "serving" us well, but without a doubt most Americans very much wish that true "change" would come to Washington.  In fact, right now Congress has a 15 percent approval rating with the American people, and that approval rating has been consistently below 20 percent since mid-2011.  So of course we took advantage of the 2014 mid-term election to dump as many of those Congress critters out of office as we possibly could, right?  Wrong.  Sadly, incumbents were re-elected at a 95 percent rate in 2014.  This just shows how broken and how corrupt our system has become.  The American people absolutely hate the job that Congress is doing, and yet the same clowns just keep getting sent back to Washington again and again.

Our founders never intended for service in Congress to become a career, but that is precisely what it has become for many of our "public servants".  As of this moment, there are 79 members of Congress that have been in office for at least 20 years, and there are 16 members of Congress that have been in office for at least 30 years.

No wonder so many Americans are advocating term limits these days.  When there are dozens of members of Congress that know that they are going to be sent back to Washington over and over again no matter how the American people feel about things, that can cause them to become extremely callous toward the will of the people.  Instead, often these politicians become increasingly responsive to the needs of their big donors, because it takes big money to win campaign after campaign.  I am sure that if George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were running around today, they would be absolutely disgusted by how our system has evolved.

The following is a list from rollcall.com of the Republicans in the U.S. Senate that have served for at least 20 years and the dates when they first took office...

As you looked over those lists, you probably noticed that they contain many of the members of Congress that Americans complain about the most.

Unfortunately, because the vast majority of these individuals come from states or congressional districts that are basically a lock to vote a certain way, there is very little hope of ever removing them.  That means that most of these Congress critters are going to get to keep coming back for as long as they want.

No matter which political party you prefer, this should greatly disturb you.

Our founders certainly never intended for a permanent class of elitists to rule over us.

But that is what we have.

We are supposed to have a government of the people, by the people and for the people, but instead we have a government of the elite, by the elite and for the elite.  Most people do not realize this, but today most members of Congress are actually millionaires.  The disconnect between members of Congress and average Americans has never been greater than it is right now, and I think that is a very troubling sign for the future of this nation.

The Five Reasons to Vote for Hillary

Elly Maye recently gave 10 of the countless reasons not to vote for Hillary Rotten Clinton. Shrillary's supporters have been able to come up with five reasons why you should. They range from lame to moronic:

1. She's qualified
...based on a skimpy resume that consists almost entirely of two political positions that were noticeably over her head and that she was placed in as a result of being married to Bill Clinton.

2. She's championed some amazing causes
...like "women's rights," despite her influence peddling to Islamic countries that treat women worse than dogs.

3. Her stance on issues
...which range from far left to farther left, mainly consisting of pandering to militant homosexuals, attacking Christianity, attacking the First and Second Amendments, and of course aggressively promoting the liberal sacrament of abortion.

4. First Gentleman Bill Clinton
...a corrupt lowlife who was impeached for committing multiple felonies the last time he was in the White House. Their affection for this serial molester and probable rapist provides insight into Shrillary's pose as a champion of women.

5. It's About Damn Time
...that we elected a moonbat for being female, just as Obama was elected for being a black no-nothing. Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, the inept mayor who facilitated the recent riots in Baltimore, is both; why not elect her?

Other than media support, this is all they've got. It isn't much. But when push comes to shove, the media will line up behind her, demonize her opponent, and stampede the idiot herd in her direction. If idiots have the numbers, Hillary wins.
