911 Operator: "I Don't Give a Shit"
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—When you call 911 you hope you're talking to someone who cares about what happens to you, but an exclusive NewsChannel 5 investigation uncovered a shocking 911 emergency where the exact opposite happened. What makes this investigation especially shocking is what one call taker said about the woman he was supposed to be helping.
When a Nashville woman faced a violent domestic situation back in February the system failed. Her call for help began when an angry ex-boyfriend barged into her house.
Sheila to 911: "Get the police here now. My life is threatened. Please God. Please God. Please God. Get me police over now. He's got a knife on me. My life threatened."
"I felt danger, I felt threatened, and I felt fear. It was like I was seeing myself being dead that day," Sheila recalled.
Sheila: "Get out of my house."
911: "Is he a boyfriend?"
Sheila: "He's ex. Get out of my house. He's outside now. He just went outside."
( Sheila's 911 ordeal dragged on for almost three hours—through call after call. )
"You know, right now I'm scared as hell because if anything happened to me now, I can't even depend upon them. Who do I... who do I... what do I do?"
What you do Sheila, is you purchase a handgun, learn how to use it safely and with confidence, and the next time your psycho ex-boyfriend breaks into your house with a knife, you shoot him twice in the chest.

Head? Chest? Or Foot? - Propagandhi |

As I was reading my RSS feeds this morning, I saw this lovely 1970 advertisement via Boing Boing:
The copy reads:
"Though she was a tiger lady, our hero didn’t have to fire a shot to floor her. After one look at his Mr. Leggs slacks, she was ready to have him walk all over her. That noble styling sure soothes the savage heart! If you’d like your own doll-to-doll carpeting, hunt up a pair of these he-man Mr. Leggs slacks. Such as our new automatic wash wear blend of 65% “Dacron®” and 35% rayon–incomparably wrinkle-resistant. About $12.95 at plush-carpeted stores."
I was thinking to myself "Wow, times sure have changed," and then I read of this horrific story from Pharyngula:
For Abdel-Qader Ali there is only one regret: that he did not kill his daughter at birth. 'If I had realised then what she would become, I would have killed her the instant her mother delivered her,' he said with no trace of remorse.
Abdel-Qader, 46, a government employee, was initially arrested but released after two hours. Astonishingly, he said, police congratulated him on what he had done. 'They are men and know what honour is,' he said.
What did she do? She had a teenage crush on a British soldier.
It was her first youthful infatuation and it would be her last. She died on 16 March after her father discovered she had been seen in public talking to Paul, considered to be the enemy, the invader and a Christian. Though her horrified mother, Leila Hussein, called Rand's two brothers, Hassan, 23, and Haydar, 21, to restrain Abdel-Qader as he choked her with his foot on her throat, they joined in. Her shrouded corpse was then tossed into a makeshift grave without ceremony as her uncles spat on it in disgust.
The times? They have changed not all that much in some places.

Dear Ms. Clinton,
What the fuck is your problem?
You lost.
Try to maintain some dignity and bow out with grace instead of acting like the psycho ex-girlfriend of America. What are you going to do next, boil my rabbit?
And stop saying you would be the stronger nominee because you appeal to a wider coalition of voters—you obviously don't, or you would be in the lead and we'd be telling Barack to stop this pathetic, insane and delusional behavior.
Hillary, it's over—we broke up. Go home.
Sincerely, Me

The Wizard - Black Sabbath |

 OK, so no, the article doesn't say anything about Christianity specifically, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that when a substitute teach in Florida does a magic trick in class and gets fired for "wizardry," that there are some fundamentalist morons involved.
I mean, it's understandable though—when you believe in talking snakes and Jewish zombies and people hanging out in whale's stomachs and shit like that, it's not unreasonable to believe that when your teacher makes a toothpick "disappear" and reappear that he's a demonic wizard engaging in the black arts of Satan.
Of course, it seems to have not occurred to them that he could also be Jesus returned to earth performing miracles, and they just got his ass fired!
And it made me think ... Jesus wore the clothes he wore at the time because that is what people wore in that place and time. If dude returns now, he'll probably be dressed in contemporary clothes—maybe even rocking a FUBU sweatsuit or something. And unless he returns looking all European and glowing and wearing white robes & sandals and floating around and shit like that, the vast majority of American Christians aren't going to give him the time of day.
(P.S. Well, that's one way to lower gas prices.)

I Am A Poseur - X-Ray Spex |
] |
One of my all time favorite bands from the initial wave of British punk is X-Ray Spex, who had the distinction of being one of the first ( the first I think) punk bands with a female singer (Poly Styrene), as well as having a saxophone player. Both of these things combined gave them a completely original sound—they were amazing. They only lasted in their original incarnation from 1976 to 1979 and only released one album— Germfree Adolescents—but it's been a classic ever since. The following videos are much better than their still frames make them look. ( —Two Live Performances— )
