Hat Trick: Three Idiotic News Items
In case you didn't catch her past escapades, Cynthia McKinney's cop-slapping incident is far from the craziest thing she's done. Larry Elder has a great roundup of the Cynthia McKinney freak show... and another gem of common sense from Bill Cosby:Just six months after the atrocities of Sept. 11, McKinney attacked the year-old Bush administration: "We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on Sept. 11," she said on a radio station interview. "What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of Sept. 11? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered?"...
McKinney suggested "many parallels" between rapper Tupac Shakur's death and the "attacks and deaths carried out by the FBI ... against political musicians and activists since the 1950s."...
Meanwhile, as McKinney held her in-Congress-while-black press conference, someone of true courage stood before 2,000 people in New Orleans. Entertainer/actor/activist Bill Cosby courageously said, "It's painful, but we can't cleanse ourselves unless we look at the wound ... Ladies and gentlemen, you had the highest murder rate, unto each other. You were dealing drugs to each other. You were impregnating our 13-, 12-, 11-year-old children."- You might have heard about Comedy Central's decision to censor an image of Muhammad in a recent South Park episode:
The creators of controversial comedy series "South Park" Matt Stone and Trey Parker have reportedly used their creation to strike back at TV network Comedy Central in their most recent episode, because the network forbid the use of an image of the nefarious 'Prophet' Muhammad...
...(the image was replaced with) a caption that read: "Comedy Central have refused to broadcast an image of Muhammad on their network" was run across the screen.
Turns out, South Park has the last laugh. The show's creators have sounded off about Comedy Central's decision. But, what's better, they've been sneaking images of Muhammad into the opening credits for weeks now:Comedy Central censored an innocuous image of the Muslim prophet Muhammad from an episode of South Park last week, but it turns out an equally innocuous (though less noticeable) image of the prophet has already been aired in three episodes of the current 10th season of the show, including the censored episode.
Muhammad is clearly visible in the final title shot of the opening sequence...
By the way, Tom Cruise denies recent reports that he had a role in Comedy Central's choice to stop airing the infamous (and extremely funny) South Park episode about Scientology. - Hat tip to The Write Jerry for this outrageous news item:
Scott Savage is a peaceful, devout Quaker who, like the Amish, avoids much of modern technology, and by all accounts is a gentleman in both his personal and professional life as a librarian in Mansfield, Ohio....
...Scott works at Ohio State University's Mansfield campus, where he serves as head of Reference and Instructional Services at the university's Bromfield Library. Recently, the entire faculty voted – without a single dissenting vote – to investigate Scott for sexual harassment.
Savage had the nerve to suggest four conservative books as required reading for the school's freshman class, namely: "The Marketing of Evil" by David Kupelian, "The Professors" by David Horowitz, "Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis" by Bat Ye'or, and "It Takes a Family" by Sen. Rick Santorum....
...three professors became so agitated and threatened by the mere suggestion of their students' exposure to "The Marketing of Evil" that they claimed they felt "unsafe" and "threatened" on the campus, because of Kupelian's book, which they called "hate literature" and "homophobic tripe."
Yep. Advocating ideas that these professors don't agree with qualifies as harassment.
Only in America.

I heard part of what Bill Cosby said. He is courageous to speak the truth like that. I think many blacks are fed up with the segments of their own people who continually make bad choices instead of empowering themselves by taking responsiblity for their own lives. I have some black friends who do not act like victims. They have experienced prejudice, but they do not allow that to hinder them from living successful lives.
Chester and Tilda are good looking doggies!

I agree it's courageous to speak like Cosby did, but doesn't it suggest that Katrina was divine retribution? Can't buy that....unless Bill has been hanging around with The Big Guy it's pretty hard to make a solid connection
