Country Singer Luke Bryan Blasted by Right-Wingers for Reading National Anthem Lyrics Off His Hand at MLB All-Star Game in Kansas City: Better Shoot Him!

Bryan reportedly wrote the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner on his hand as a sort of crude crib-sheet so that he wouldn't forget any words.  The Twitter and other online reaction from deranged right-wingers (link at bottom) has not been positive, as Bryan reportedly received widespread "major criticism."  For example:  "Unpatriotic!", many of them exclaimed.  Said another: "He needs to learn respect and remember the lyrics!"  Yesterday, Bryan apologized.  Two reactions as I saw this story:

1.  Having watched Bryan's rendition on Tuesday night:  Upon seeing nothing but the headline on this story ("Singer Luke Bryan Apologizes for National Anthem Controversy"), the first thing that occurred to me (seriously) was that the "controversy" must relate to the extremely tight-fittin' jeans he wore that night.  Dude looked positively silly.  Like he'd just fallen out of a bad episode of "Seinfeld" (if such a thing exists).  I hadn't even noticed that he was apparently looking at his hand during the performance.

2.  I really couldn't care less that he was cribbin' the lyrics.  Better that than to screw 'em up.  How many freaks over the years (sometimes intentionally, but usually not) butcher the national anthem in one way or other, including forgetting or tripping all over the words.  If anything, I think it's a sign of Bryan's "respect" for the song and its performance that he cared enough to make sure he didn't stink up the joint by mangling up the words.  So as usual:  S-T-F-U, right-wingers.  We'd all be so much better off if you and the leftist 20 percenters would not go away mad, but just go away.

I'd Hate to be the Prosecutor: "Warlock" Puts "Hex" on Anyone Wishing Ill Will Towards His Stripper Witch Niece, Who's Currently on Trial for Fatal DUI...

This is what happens when you get on the wrong side of the witch community, apparently. And I guess it makes perfect sense: You would expect that if you try to arrest a witch stripper, then she or one of her own kind is probably going to look to put a curse on your ass...

The Witchy Woman is 25-year-old Angelique Catherine ("A.C.") Griffin (pictured above and below) of Salem, Massachusetts (Where Else?!?) -- who, when she's not casting spells as a witch or getting buck naked as a stripper down at DB's Golden Banana Gentlemen's Club -- apparently likes to get her drink on with friends.

That's what reportedly let her to down some vodkas and beers before getting behind the wheel a few weekends back to drive her and boyfriend Dillon Renard home.  Cops say that the car slammed into a flat bed truck, and that Renard was "impaled on impact and died in the passenger seat."


Now charged with DUI and motor vehicle homicide in the fatal crash, this stripper witch is reportedly trying to establish a brand new "stripper" defense within the realm of American DUI jurisprudence, claiming the crash only happened because dead boyfriend "would not stop trying to fondle her as she drove" -- like he was some kind of demented TSA agent or something.

But the witch stripper and her shaky defense are not without their supporters, including a "coven of witches" who showed up at A.C.'s court appearance the week before last to offer up their full evil support.  That motley crew reportedly included the coven's official "Warlock" who just happens to be the stripper witch's uncle.

Uncle Warlock's support for witch stripper reportedly Uncle Festered itself in the form of a big "Hex" which he threw the way of anyone wishing any bad will towards stripper witch in connection with the dead boyfriend incident.  Now, while I might otherwise cry jury tampering over here, I'd prefer to stay on the Warlock's good side if you don't mind.

Tanked Tot? Phoenix Mom Tossed in the Can After Admitting to Pouring Booze in Her Two-Year-Old Son's Sippy Cup, and Letting Him Drink It, Down at the Local Pizza Parlor!

I've seen it plenty of times at pizza joints and other restaurants:  Out-of-control little shits going ape, ducking under booth tables, turning pirouettes, hanging from light fixtures, and just raisin' a ruckus generally.  Meantime, the parents just want to calm the wild little animals down...

But alas, some methods of chilling out a rotten little punk are probably a little more appropriate than others. Getting the tike all liquored up, for example -- maybe not the top option available.

Which brings us to one 36-year-old Arizona Mama named Valerie Topete (mug shot above; links at bottom).  Here this broad is just trying to enjoy her pie in peace down at the Peter Piper Pizza parlor, along with a big frosty pitcher of beer.  Only problem? Little two-year-old Sonny is acting up and "kept reaching for the beer pitcher."

But instead of simply reprimanding this 25-pound punk or telling him to keep his grubby paws to himself, Mama admits she tried to use a little "reverse psychology" (her description) by actually giving him what he wanted over there. Next thing you know, the toddler was swiggin' beer out his sippy cup like he was some sort of wartime sailor on R-and-R!

Unfortunately, however, the party came to a crashing conclusion when another patron called 911 "after seeing the child fall out of his chair, leading the witness to believe he might be intoxicated."

Upon arrival, cops used a little more direct psychology than Mama had, sending her booze-sharing ass straight to the Stir on suspicion of child abuse. No word yet whether or not cops at least allowed Mama & Sonny to polish off that pitcher first.

Can Ya Hear Me Now?: British Man Allegedly Goes Berzerk, Destroys T-Mobile Shop Which Wouldn't Give Him a Refund on His Mobile Phone Contract!

I guess the folks at this T-Mobile store had never heard the phrase, "the customer is always right."  That mantra sort of gravitates against "no refund" policies in the first place.  And ESPECIALLY if you're dealing with this dude (link to full story at bottom)...

Cops in Britain says he's 42-year-old Jason Codner of Manchester/Salford, and he apparently has precious little tolerance for mobile phone outlets that won't refund him his dough when he's dissatisfied with the service.  Citing to some provision in the fine print of his contract's Terms and Conditions, workers at the T-Mobile refused to give this cat his refund. And that's when all hell broke loose...

YouTube video of the incident first shows Codner's alleged rampage getting off the ground in glorious fashion, as this hotheaded phone man first took to hitting up the joint's bread and butter -- the mobile phones. Looks like from the video that Codner yanked down virtually every display rack and phone in the entire store!

He also allegedly "methodically ripped out wall fixtures" and "overturned tables" until finally spotting the perfect device to help him put a real exclamation point on this piece of work...

Specifically, the video shows Codner blasting off the joint's fire extinguishers like he was Steve McQueen traipsing around the Towering Inferno!  Reportedly, "the havoc continues for several minutes" from there until one worker finally got the bright idea to call the cops.

Now this extinguisher-blowing big man may have to have to put out his fire down at the local Stir for awhile, since cops have dialed UP charges against the deranged cell man that include causing criminal damage and using threatening behavior.  And Lord help that hoosegow if it tries to hit this guy up with any extra service charges during his bit.

Keeping It Real? British Mom & Family Lament that 14-Year-Old Daughter Might Buck Family Tradition by NOT Getting Big Fake Boobs!

Maybe she just wants to be the rack sheep of the family. But Mama and four of her daughters say that youngest daughter Britney Marshall (pictured above with 53-year-old Mama Chantal and the other daughters) is just "going through a funny phase at the moment." And for a 14-year-old girl like Britney, of course, that can mean a lot of things: Such as starting to take an acute interest in boys. Or not feeling much like doing her homework. Or being oblivious to extracurricular activities. Or even -- apparently -- not being overly interested in getting a big giant boob job.  The lack of motivation in teenagers these days!

You see, in the Marshall family (links to full story at bottom), getting a huge fake balcony is as much of a rite of passage, it seems, as graduating grade school, going on a first date, or getting a drivers license.  Mama and four of her daughters (see immediately below) have all enhanced their headlights at various times to the tune of racks ranging in size from 32DD to 34HH (see second from right below -- Good Grief!).  If you're keeping score at home, that adds up to "13 operations, nearly six pints of silicon," and almost $80,000 expended.

And now Mama and the sisters are reportedly putting the full-can press on young Britney to encourage her to start saving up for a honker job of her own.  For the moment, however, Britney is telling them to bust off, saying she "has absolutely no desire to have breast implants":

"I'm too young to be thinking about having a boob job -- I just want to work hard in school," said the 14-year-old rebel.  "I believe a girl should do what she wants and at the moment I don't want to get a boob job," added the stubborn little ingrate.  Mama ain't none too happy, neither. As UK's Daily Mail reports: "This disturbing state of affairs has left [Mama] Chantal, who had great hopes for her young child, wondering where she has gone wrong."

But Mama ain't quite ready to thrown in the proverbial trainer bra just yet.  First noting that Britney "doesn't really have what I would say are boobs," Mama says she's fully encouraging Britney "to follow in her sisters' footsteps" (shouldn't that be their "bra straps"?) by getting a nice big set of fake gazongas.  Reasons Mama:  "I really love the fake look of my [other] girls and I know Britney will go that way when she's a bit older."  No pressure, though -- really.

Apparently Mama will be patient, for now, just so long as as Britney gets her head (and fake melons) on straight in time to go out partying and to get the ol' drink on with Mama and the other girls.  Spouted Mama:  "Obviously at 14, Britney's too young to go out drinking. But we know it won't be long before she's coming out on the town with us. I can't wait!"  But the world can, Mama. And here's hoping Britney can too.

Bummed Out: Don't Try Being a Hobo in China, Lest You Could Use Another Hole in Your Head (Not to Mention in the Back, Ass and Lower Extremities)...

Now this is a bona fide bummer:  As a Fourth of July follow-up, the "People's Republic" of China (as pictured at top and bottom; link below) is reportedly try to put a real dent (literally) in its hobo population by installing huge swaths of rather tortuous concrete spikes under public bridges where bums like to sleep.  That'll do the trick, methinks. 

With innovative new efforts like these to poke a hole in the tramp problem, maybe a more-deserving nation like China can borrow and put to more-appropriate use that otherwise offensive phrase from our American national anthem, "land of the free and home of the brave."  Thoughts, Bill Press?  (Although, I really shouldn't encourage the leftist 20 percenters like that).

A "Teachable Moment" this 4th of July from the Leftist 20 Percenter Perspective: The National Anthem Is an "Abomination" that We Should Get Rid Of...

...Those were the words of leftist 20 percenter radio pundit Bill Press in June (link at bottom).  I ignored the story at the time (since loony left-wingers and deranged right-wingers say incredibly outlandish things every day -- who has time to keep up?).  But Press' frankly not-so-unbelievable rant seems very topical this Fourth of July.  Said Press:

-"It is a major crusade of mine to get rid of the Star-Spangled Banner," he said, the like of which he calls an "abomination."

-Press says also he's "embarrassed" by the song, and in particular its inappropriate use of the phrase, "land of the free and home of the brave."  (Since, after all, the concept of "freedom" has always been a foreign one in the United States of America, and don't even get started on the "brave" part!)

-Explains Press: "Are we Americans the only ones who are brave on the planet?  I mean, ALL the brave people live here?  I mean it's just stupid I think. I'm embarrassed, I'm embarrassed every time I hear it."

Now, this is the so-called "Teachable Moment" (as His Majesty might ordain) because it illustrates the honest world view and view of this country held by so many of the leftist 20 percenters (i.e. the roughly 20% of the American population who call themselves devout "liberals" and "progressives" and who control and bankroll the sick modern incarnation of the democrat party).

Many leftist 20 percenters disdain this country as it has largely existed since 1776, and they desire a transformation to a radically different country than the one that most of the rest of us grew up in and have grown to love:

They want a far-leftist state in which the power and size of the federal government and bureaucracy is grown just as large as it possibly can be (paid for by running up even more stifling national debt and by taxing the living shit out of the middle and upper classes).  They want a system under which the wise "intelligent elite" leftists, through that massive bureaucracy, can dictate to all of us moronic common people the best decisions and ways to live and lead even the most humdrum aspects of our everyday lives.  And those things are just for starters...

So that's who they are (by way of background), but that's not really the main point of this post.  My main objective is to show a real-life example (Bill Press) of one of these creatures being honest and honestly expressing publicly what he/she really believes.

You see, the leftists do that sort of thing (i.e., act honestly) so infrequently!  They usually try to hide who they are and what they really want to accomplish (since that stuff don't play so well in elections with the rest of the country, and most namely with my beloved Independents).  See, e.g., One Barack Obama as a poster-child and Exhibit A for what I'm talking about (although I knew precisely who he was in 2008, and therefore voted for neither him nor Tired Old Man McCain).

In the 3.5 year history of this The Independent Rage blog, I've been very consistent in trying to give an ounce of credit (and very honest credit) when these leftists actually speak freely about what they really believe and want to do.  Because then we can just debate substance without all the dishonest pretense.  So Bill Press receives kudos from me on this Fourth of July, even if his far-leftist sentiments -- on the substance -- are met with my complete contempt.

One Big Boob Job of a Plan: "Buxom Bandit" Broad in Australia Allegedly Knocks Over a Gas Station After Opening Up Her Blouse But NOT Thinking to Cover Her Other Melon at the Same Time!

Either this broad really likes to show off her cleavage in public, or else she thought the attendant would be so busy staring at them big bazongas that he wouldn't be able to remember a facial description to give to the cops.  Psssst to Bosomy Bust Babe: Next time, try a damn ski mask! (And cover them surveillance cams for chrissakes!).

Cops down under say this big bazoomed 20-something Aussie babe is on the run for the moment, following her knife-wielding stickup job, but they say she probably "won't evade capture for long" given her "series of schoolgirl blunders" (links to full story at bottom)...

One such gaffe would be forgetting to cover that mug under a mask (always the first rule of any gas station owl job).  Also, failing to wear a baggy, closed top (which would've concealed that very distinctive pair of fun bags) wasn't the sharpest of moves either, truth be told. 

During her big rack attack, this stacked-up skirt also reportedly wore a glove to conceal fingerprints -- but only one glove for some unknown reason (maybe she really did need the loot in order to afford a full pair). Topping off the missteps from this well-endowed comic caper was this shapely little dish's failure to cut (or at least hide) them long blonde locks -- making her, again, even easier to identify.

Ultimately, cops say this voluptuous moll wannabe got away with only a small amount of money from this half-baked piece of work. But hey, even Bonnie Parker had to start somewhere, no?

How Does One Follow from the Other?: Texas Woman Allegedly Leaves Injured Kids at Scene of Car Wreck in Order to Go Strip Down Buck Naked & Eat Ice Cream!

They say that come summer, folks in Houston get hotter than a tick in a tin-roofed Alabama shithouse.  I guess so, too. Because why else would a local woman allegedly leave her injured kids at the scene of a car crash and make a beeline to the nearest CVS in order to strip down naked and polish off a frozen treat? Must've been 150 degrees that day (and damn it, she wasn't gonna stay in that hot car any longer!)...

Cops in Houston say the freakish chain of events (perhaps a first of their kind in recorded human history) got started with a bang that day, as 34-year-old Stephanie Dillard (pictured above) reportedly plowed her car into a city bus (link to full story below). Her three kids, also in the car, were reportedly "shaken up" and sustained minor injuries -- including her 5-year-old, who "suffered a large gash over one eye."

Dillard's reaction?  Maybe call an ambulance? Or take the kids to the hospital?  Nope, none of the above.  Instead, Dillard allegedly chose the next most natural and logical option, meaning she took off on foot in search of the first joint where she could get her hot little hands on some nice cool ice cream (allegedly). Of course! What else would she possibly do at that point?



Dillard next found her dairy delight at a nearby CVS, but that apparently just wasn't quite enough the cut the ol' custard with her.  Either because of that stifling heat, or because she didn't want to drip any meltings on her threads, Dillard's next step -- as she continued to enjoy the ice cream -- was allegedly to throw a little strip show right there in the damn drug store!

And I guess this disrobed dessert lover (allegedly) didn't see anything too unusual in this whole scene; you know, a broad in her birthday suit sucking on the soft serve inside the CVS. So maybe that's why cops say she gave them such a chilly reception and put up a big fight when they tried to slap the ol' cuffs on her bare-skinned behind.

Now this stark-naked sorbet skirt faces up to two years fully-clothed in the local freezer (the kind with bars), as cops lowered the big chill on her with a 1/2 gallon's worth of child endangerment charges -- perhaps making this the saddest case of bare-ass brain freeze in recent recollection.

ObamaCare Monstrosity Upheld: I Told Right-Wingers They Shouldn't Party After Oral Arguments. Besides, the Damn Thing Was Gonna Have to be Repealed Anyway...

I recall the little celebrations the right-winger gop-ers had following the Supreme Court oral arguments on the ObamaCare Obamanation. They thought that since the Justices had grilled Obama's lawyer pretty hard, the Court would ultimately give them a ruling striking down the law's "individual mandate" requiring people to buy health insurance...

It was also in this space where I warned the republic partisans that they shouldn't be celebrating, since oral argument questions are often a terrible predictor of how a case on appeal is going to be ruled upon (been there, done that).  Told ya so, you right-wing freaks!

Regardless, AT MOST the Court could have struck down the "individual mandate," but I thought there was little chance in hell they'd strike down the whole law.  And by all accounts, Obama and his minions were prepared to march ahead full-steam on implementing the law even if the "individual mandate" had fallen.

So bottom line:  That damn piece of far leftist legislation was going to have to be repealed by Congress anyway, regardless of how the Court ruled (assuming I'm right, as I nearly always am, that the chances of the Court throwing out the entire law were slim and none).

That's why I still look with so much gloom on those two dark days -- "Black Christmas" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday" -- when the democrat party rammed that rotten piece of unpopular, massive far-leftist legislation right down the throats of the American people. You see, it can only be repealed, in all likelihood, if the gop-ers (in addition to controlling the House) win a supermajority (60 seats) in the Senate and win the presidency...

And I can't see that happening anytime soon.  The only time in my entire life that either rotten party had that kind of power was the democrat party in 2009 and early 2010 -- that's extremely rare and not likely to occur for either pathetic party in the foreseeable future (thank God, truth be told).  So better get used to ObamaCare. 'Fraid we may be stuck with that awful creature for awhile.

http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/06/28/supreme-court-rules-on-obamas-health-care-law/

Postscript:  I've already heard today a few ardent deranged right-wingers, such as Michelle Bachmann, threatening to repeal ObamaCare in the Senate with a mere 51 votes with the very same slimy budgetary procedural gimmick ("reconciliation") that the democrat party used to enact ObamaCare in the first place on Sunday Bloody Sunday.  IF the republic partisans stoop to that sewer rat level, I will condemn their sorry doctrinaire asses just as vehemently as I did when the democrat party used that Slimeball tactic.  But then again, I'm actually consistent in my positions.  Since I'm not a partisan.

Forget the National Debt, the Economic Crisis in Europe, & Our Two Rotten Political Parties: HERE'S REAL Proof Positive that Judgment Day May Soon Be Upon Us!...

...It's the 2012 edition of Parents Gone Very Wrong from The Chive website (via the UK Daily Mail; link below), with selected pictures above.  My only question:  The old man who takes his little shit into the strip joint -- Is that really so wrong? Ever heard of the phrase, "No Harm, No Foul"?  What's that little punk gonna remember after the fact, anyway?

Stink 'Em Up: 72-Year-Old Man "Accused of Threatening Farting New Jersey Neighbor with a Gun"!

There are many ways of reacting to a stinkpot who goes around breaking wind in public: A raised eyebrow. A critical word. A stoic stare. An unapproving nod. Or even, in today's discourse, it seems -- a .32 caliber Smith and Wesson to the noodle. (I just would've hated to see the result if this neighbor had instead talked about the dude's Mama)...

According to cops in New Jersey, 72-year-old Daniel Collins (pictured above) really hates it when folks cut the cheese in his presence.  Either that, or his neighbor is just one hell of a raw ass.  Either way, cops say Collins smelled and cried foul in a big way last week when his neighbor let 'er rip right out there in the apartment complex common area.

Specifically, cops say an "ongoing dispute" between the two concerning the "neighbor's flatulence" finally turned into a combustible methane blast furnace when this stinkweed Neighbor pushed his putrid-smelling luck one time too many by "passing gas near Collins' apartment door."

And I take it that shit didn't just stink, but could've waken the dead, since an alerted Collins was allegedly out that apartment faster than a stinkbug infestation in a Mississippi shithouse.  And Collins didn't burst out there just looking to throw a few fists, neither...

Nope, Collins allegedly came at his smelly neighbor brandishing a .32 caliber piece and proceeded to "point the revolver at the flatulent neighbor" right out there in vestibule!  "I'm going to put a hole in your head," Collins allegedly howled (the head being the logical choice since I'd imagine Collins wanted no part of opening up a second blow hole in that neighbor's rotten ass).

But now Collins may have to take his counter-stink antics down to the local stir, since cops blew their own butt bugle at him with a bevy of filthy charges, including aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a weapon, and "terrorists threats."  Talk about a .32 caliber backfire.

Report: democrat party chairman Patty "Wasserman" Simpson to Get the Pink Slip Come November. But Why? And Will San Fran Nan Take Her Place?

An interesting report early this week from the "Shark Tank" blog (link at bottom), which reports that the democrat party will sack its current national committee chairman, Patty "Wasserman" Simpson, after the November elections regardless of those elections' outcomes.  Two reactions here, and my first one is WHY?

"Wasserman" Simpson has struck me for a couple of years now to be one of the democrat party's most effective political slimeballs, wrapping into one nice little package (1) an ability to be one of the democrat party's best pathological liars and (2) a certain bulldog mentality noticeably absent from the democrat party in the wake of such high-profile exits as those of Anthony's Weiner and Alan Grayson.  (Really though, I'm only being maybe about one-third facetious over here).

My second reaction is to ponder (if this report ultimately turns out to be true) who might be "Wasserman" Simpson's successor as democrat party chairman?  I can nearly guarantee you that speculation will heat up almost immediately as to the possibility of former House Creature San Fran Nancy Pelosi (the living embodiment of the below-pictured former Iraqi propaganda minister Baghdad Bob) as an only too logical replacement to "Wasserman" Simpson...




After all, San Fran Nan is, like, really really old now, and it would make only perfect sense for her to take a more behind-the-scenes position as democrat party chairman, freeing up the slightly younger "Wasserman" Simpson to focus on her own current U.S. House career (maybe she can be House Creature herself someday!?!).

This very convenient switcheroo actually makes even more sense when one considers that I can't think of many nationally known democrat party sleazejobs who could rival "Wasserman" Simpson's penchant for fundamental dishonesty, in nearly every word that comes out of the mouth, as San Fran Nan could.  Now, the aforementioned "bulldog factor" ain't really present with San Fran Nan (is anyone completely perfect?), but the lyin' scuzbucket aspect is exuded in droves by Nan.

So when it comes to a possible "Wasserman" Simpson-for-San Fran Nan swap -- As the old line goes from one of my favorite films of all-time, Dances With Wolves:  "Good Trade."

"Unlike the 2,000 [American] Death Count in Iraq, ABC, NBC, PBS, MSNBC Skip 2,000 Marker in Afghanistan." What a Shocker!

I will never understand how most leftist 20 percenters and their complicit "mainstream" media will go apeshit in the streets over wars, foreign incursions, death and destruction (and typically, I'll be in agreement with them), but only IF the U.S. president at that particular moment has an "R" next to his name...

In contrast, when the president sports the letter "D," that stands for Dead-Silence when it comes to wars and killing for most of the American far left.

If I've said it once . . . H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E-S.
