I can't believe it's not a democracy!

Finally, the truth about the honeybee collapse:

Pesticides linked to honeybee decline. Looks like it wasn't the purported mystery mite or parasite that some claimed. We are poisoning our food, killing our pollinators, and polluting everything and anything. The earth's resources and ability to bounce back cannot be infinite. Since we have nothing but shameless whores in politics--ok, a handful of good players and the rest whores--who are dancing to keep their sociopathic masters happy, and a filthy media class that is doing everyting it can to distract the masses, those of us who are paying attention and give a shit are going to have to do something. So, what can we do? And yes, I mean now.

Portugal had a general strike earlier in the week,

Spain, today. But does our media report it? Yahoo might not be media--it's more entertainment--but it's front page has nothing on Spain, plenty on the whore Kardasian sisters. Nothing changes until we take back the media. Nothing.

Looks like Rupert Murdoch's troubles may just have gotten exponentially bigger:

Questions for News Corp over rival's collapse. Why is this potentially explosive? The Guardian reports:

Part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation empire employed computer hacking to undermine the business of its chief TV rival in Britain, according to evidence due to be broadcast by BBC1's Panorama programme on Monday.

The allegations stem from apparently incriminating emails the programme-makers have obtained, and on-screen descriptions for the first time from two of the people said to be involved, a German hacker and the operator of a pirate website secretly controlled by a Murdoch company.

If true, at the minimum News Corp loses its tv license (the UK has "fit and proper" test for broadcasters). If true, what do you think News Corp's former rivals will do? Yes, they will sue them out the ass. As if News Corp needs more more legal fees. And I'm no expert in UK law, but destroying your rivals by aiding and abetting--at the minimum--counterfeiting by pirates? That has to have criminal implications.

News Corp rose to prominence by threatening politicians and thrwoing support behind those who were willing to rub their nipples and fellate themselves for Rupert Murdoch's enjoyment. Some people refused and Murdoch's assets made their lives miserable. A lot of people hate that filthy old man. I honestly believe that News Corp could finally go down. And when it does, who will be there to overpay Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity? These fuckers may finally get the future they deserve.

This is a fucking outrage:

War Criminal Dick Cheney Given Human Heart. How many 71-year old former three-pack a day smokers would get a heart, much less be placed on a fucking waiting list? None. The only thing that would make this worse is if they gave him Trayvon Martin's heart. Honestly, he should be dying in a jail cell at The Hague.

Cue the lawsuits. Someone had better be fired for this. And I mean someone high in the food chain:

Documents show NYPD infiltrated liberal groups. Despite what many current politicians believe--Obama included--the Bill of Rights isn't a suggestion, it's the fucking law. Between the early start to a horrible allergy season and the continuing erosion of our constitutional rights, Iceland is looking better and better with each passing day.

Please remain seated until the plane has come to a complete stop at Shameless Whores Airport:

Little Rock renames airport to honor Bill and Hillary Clinton. So all you have to do to get an airport named after yourself is to give the rich everything they want (bye-bye Glass-Steagall) and engage in some war mongering. Oh, and have no integrity whatsofuckingever. That said, the wingers are trying to name all kinds of shit after Raygun and Poppy Bush. I wonder if they'll even bother trying with W. As I recall, the only folks who tried to name something after him were rebuffed.

Anyone who thinks it is ok to collect a paycheck for invading our 4th amendment rights is a douchebag:

Three-year old boy in wheelchair searched by TSA. I thought those mooks agreed not to grope kids under 12 years of age. When will this fucking travesty end? It's all kabuki, but I guess enough sheep are willing to have a stranger feel up their genitals so they can pretend the plane won't go boom in mid air. God, this country sucks.

Well, if I had to guess, it probably smells like slugs and snails and puppy dog tails:

Pope Benedict orders up his own personal cologne. How anyone can go to church and put coin in the collection basket is beyond me. If the money isn't being spent on legal fees to fight cases brought by the victims of pedophile priests and the church hierarchy that hide them, then the nazi pope is blowing some coin on his own personal scent. What was it that Max von Sydow said in "Hannah and Her Sisters" about Jesus? Oh yes: If Jesus came back today, and saw what was going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing up. That is a fact.

Speaking of evil criminal Wall Street bastards:

Bank of America: Too Crooked to Fail. It's Taibbi, so you have to click. Uncertain? Well, you won't be after you have a taste:

This bank is like the world's worst-behaved teenager, taking your car and running over kittens and fire hydrants on the way to Vegas for the weekend, maxing out your credit cards in the three days you spend at your aunt's funeral. They're out of control, yet they'll never do time or go out of business, because the government remains creepily committed to their survival, like overindulgent parents who refuse to believe their 40-year-old live-at-home son could possibly be responsible for those dead hookers in the backyard.

"[L]ike overindulgent parents who refuse to believe their 40-year-old live-at-home son could possibly be responsible for those dead hookers in the backyard." Yeah, you have to click.

Thanks to Mr. Slice for the link.

I'm sure President Obama will be right on this:

Bradley Manning's treatment was cruel and inhuman, UN torture chief rules. Why he'll probably go right up to that jail warden and say, "I'm President Obama. Bradley Manning is an American hero who should be celebrated, let him out now!" And he'll do that right after he tells Eric Holder to step aside so he can nominate a real Attorney General who will investigate and prosecute the evil criminal bastards on Wall Street. And then he'll get all those outsourced jobs back. And then....
