Question of the Day

What do you think about these ice bucket challenges?

This is the man who shot Michael Brown! This is Officer Darren Wilson!

Yahoo News post the pic today. It was a brave move on the part, but they did it.

Interesting Quote: Dalton Heinrich

The abundance of thirty and forty something’s that attend nightclubs persistently and dress like they are going to a college frat party is astounding. Instead of the Botox, barhopping and H&M wardrobes; why as a culture, are the majority of us not having children and planning our futures.

This portion of grown men clinging to the wild nights and serial dating of their twenties seem to live in a secret Neverland. It is this category of men that I have personally diagnosed with Peter Pan Syndrome. These Lost Boys that are terrified of actually looking their age and are always fighting off time instead of aging gracefully and being something helpful for the young gay man to idolize?

What do you think?

Coach Dave Daubenmire Says 'The Most Dangerous Lifestyle In America Today Is Homosexual Behavior'

More Unrest in the Streets of Ferguson

Sadly, a small riot broke out in Ferguson late last night.

Some in the community became rowdy after Chief Thomas Jackson revealed pieces of a video and vague info about Michael Brown and the possibility a robbery before his death. I posted both messy press conferences yesterday.

Anywho, some in the community got rowdy and tried to cause some problems. Here's more:

Armored vehicles rolled back onto the streets of Ferguson early Saturday, as riot police faced off with looters in the Missouri town gripped by protests since the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teen.

The violence broke the brief period of calm that had settled over Ferguson, Missouri, after outrage over the shooting of Michael Brown spilled over.

Protests had started off peacefully in Ferguson on Friday night. Rev. Jesse Jackson linked arms with protesters, leading them in prayer and urging them to "turn pain into power" while fighting back non-violently, NBC Affiliate KSDK reported. Crowds turned rowdy and looting later broke out, according to KSDK.

Missouri State Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson said some in the crowd began throwing rocks and other objects at police, according to The Associated Press.

Tear gas was deployed and riot police moved in, with some locals forming lines to protect local businesses from looters.

I am glad to hear that the community fought back against the looters, but I'm pissed this happened again.

Oh Snap! Gov. Rick Perry Indicted for Abuse of Power

From NBC News:

A grand jury indicted Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Friday for abusing the powers of his office by carrying out a threat to veto funding for state prosecutors investigating public corruption -- making the possible 2016 presidential hopeful his state's first indicted governor in nearly a century.

A special prosecutor spent months calling witnesses and presenting evidence that Perry broke the law when he promised publicly to nix $7.5 million over two years for the public integrity unit, which is run by Travis County District Rosemary Lehmberg's office. Several top aides to the Republican governor appeared before grand jurors in Austin, including his deputy chief of staff, legislative director and general counsel. Perry himself wasn't called to testify. 

He was indicted by an Austin grand jury on felony counts of abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant. Maximum punishment on the first charge is five to 99 years in prison. The second is two to 10 years.

This was a mess!

Rand Paul discussed Race and the Militarization of the Police in TIME Article

Rand writes an interesting piece in TIME about the Militarization of the police and race.

Here's a piece

Given these developments, it is almost impossible for many Americans not to feel like their government is targeting them. Given the racial disparities in our criminal justice system, it is impossible for African-Americans not to feel like their government is particularly targeting them.

This is part of the anguish we are seeing in the tragic events outside of St. Louis, Missouri. It is what the citizens of Ferguson feel when there is an unfortunate and heartbreaking shooting like the incident with Michael Brown.

Anyone who thinks that race does not still, even if inadvertently, skew the application of criminal justice in this country is just not paying close enough attention. Our prisons are full of black and brown men and women who are serving inappropriately long and harsh sentences for non-violent mistakes in their youth.

The militarization of our law enforcement is due to an unprecedented expansion of government power in this realm. It is one thing for federal officials to work in conjunction with local authorities to reduce or solve crime. It is quite another for them to subsidize it.

Americans must never sacrifice their liberty for an illusive and dangerous, or false, security. This has been a cause I have championed for years, and one that is at a near-crisis point in our country.

Let us continue to pray for Michael Brown’s family, the people of Ferguson, police, and citizens alike.

Sounds like a person running for president.

Olga Kurylenko speaks about Wonder Woman role

Olga was apparently up for the role of Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Honestly, she was my pic for the role. To me, she screams Diana.

Anywho, Olga briefly speaks about the opportunity.



I wished she got the part.
