Just How Many Bean Burritos Was She Looking to Buy? Hobo Allegedly Tries to Pawn Off Her Baby at Taco Bell for 500 Bucks.



So what's the going rate on a hobo's kid? Seems to be $500, although some bums will apparently take bids that can ratchet up that price tag a lot higher. That's what cops in Vancouver, Washington say a homeless hag there tried to pull off down at the local Taco Bell this past week.

No word whether 36-year-old Heidi Lynn Knowles (pictured on left) hated the kid or whether she was just really, really hungry. Or both maybe. But cops say the vagabond made a run for her neighborhood Taco Bell and started "taking bids" on the three-day-old baby from the joint's patrons.

The vagrant allegedly opened up the bidding at 500 bucks, but it apparently quickly swelled up to $5,000. However, Knowles was reportedly a bit drunk (NO!) and ended up slinking back to a motel room without finalizing any deal. Too bad, because while Knowles is on welfare and food stamps, that five grand could've undoubtedly come in handy:

"Uh yeah, Mr. Soda Jerk Counter Attendant -- I auctioned off my kid and I got five thousand big ones just burning a hole: Give me 3000 of them there bean burritos, without onions, and a thousand nachos supreme with extra 'maters. And you better break out your Fire Sauce stash."

Anyway, when cops showed up at the dive where this tramp was holed up, she reportedly told them that she "had no idea when her baby was born or who the father was." But she'll likely have plenty of time to regain her memory in the local hoosegow, as cops have hit her with a charge of "child selling" (that's a new one to me) plus a bevy of charges from outstanding warrants. That's one Sad Sack of tacos.

Potential "Gang of Six" Senate "Compromise" Debt Ceiling Plan Seems Acceptable on Its Face. But Sue Me For Being Plenty Suspicious...


The "Gang of Six" ("GO6"), BTW, is an ever-changing group of so-called "moderate" and/or "pragmatic" Senators in both parties (now actually with 7 members) who in the past have purported "to put partisan divides aside" to come up with compromises that other Senators have sometimes been able to sign off on. (Yes, I'm ignoring today's House GOP passage of "Cut, Cap & Balance" since that thing's dead in the Senate).

Today, this "Gang of Six" announced a plan on the debt ceiling issue that appears to have some general popularity in the Senate at large and with Obama himself.

On its face, the GO6 plan seems perfectly acceptable to me as a first step in serious debt and deficit reduction. To wit:

-The net deficit reduction and cuts to the national debt over 10 years would reportedly be $3.7 trillion. A somewhat legitimate starting point, although a bit concerning is that much of those cuts are not specific but rather would be farmed out to Congressional committees to "come up with" in the future.

-$500 billion in more-specific immediate budget cuts.

-The plan reportedly contemplates a coupling of comprehensive elimination of tax deductions (a.k.a. "loopholes") with across-the-board tax rate cuts on all tax brackets, including reducing the top tax bracket of the so-called "millionaires and billionaires" from 35% to 29%.

-The GO6 plan claims that the result of those tax cuts and tax deduction eliminations would be a $1.5 trillion net tax decrease.

-Presumably the debt ceiling would be increased as a trade off for these various measures.

SO, that's it, as best as I can cobble together so far. But Obama saying today he's in favor of this plan gives me plenty of reason to pause, because I've yet to see that individual in nearly 3 years ever sign off on much of any legislation that wasn't completely to his political advantage (or, at the very least, just a politically motivated surrender when left with no other choice -- see the extension of the "Bush" tax rates at the end of 2010).

Also, the leftist 20 percenter blogosphere seems very silent on this plan tonight, which is also very odd. So I'm very suspicious.

My suspicions lie in three areas. First, there's probably something here that doesn't meet the eye. Something the GO6 isn't disclosing. Something highly advantageous to the leftist 20 percenters that is not being reported.

Second, this GO6 plan may be a total non-starter in the much more right-wing House. If the plan is what it appears to be, it seems inherently reasonable. Perhaps Obama is banking on the House killing it, giving him the high ground to say that the GOP is blocking a reasonable plan. And if that happens, he'd actually be right (if the plan is what it seems), although I'd also say in that instance that he's only supporting it because he knew the House would not.

Third, there's the possibility that Obama is finally making what so many predicted following the 2010 election outcome: A bona fide move towards the center, like Bill Clinton did after 1994, calculated to boost his re-election possibilities.

But I really don't care a whole lot about these various political considerations apart from just having fun with political analysis. As an Independent, my bottom line is: Is the measure/plan reasonable and acceptable. If so, I'll support it regardless of whom it benefits politically. And if this GO6 plan is what it appears to be (which it may well not be -- let's keep following this in the days to come), then it is something that I will support.

His Words, Not Mine: democrat party Member & Billionaire Businessman Steve Wynn Bashes Obama as "Socialist" and Enemy of "Business, Progress & Jobs"


With friends like that that, who needs deranged right-wingers? This isn't them ranting. This isn't me ranting. From the mouth of Las Vegas real estate mogul and democrat party member Steve Wynn (who voted for Obama in 2008, voted for "Heinz" Kerry in 2004, and is one of the biggest supporters of democrat party Senate Majority Leader "Dirty" Harry Reid) -- Says Steve Wynn:

"I'm saying it bluntly, that this administration is the greatest wet blanket to business, and progress and job creation in my lifetime. The guy [Obama] keeps making speeches about restribution [of wealth], and maybe we ought to do something to businesses that don't invest or hold too much money. We haven't heard that kind of talk except from pure socialists."

Wynn also observes that Obama is, simply put, just way out on there on the American far leftist fringe:

"The business community in this country is frightened to death of the weird political philosophy of the president of the United States. Until he's gone, everybody's going to be sitting on their thumbs."

Hey leftist 20 percenters: Your man's words, not mine.

Ouch! Sarah Palin Propaganda Film "The Undefeated" Taken to the Cleaners By Critics, While the Public's Lukewarm. Hey, She Ain't No "Machete"...





I've talked about this before: I despise propaganda films, at least ones that are pure propaganda with no entertainment value whatsoever. I've never seen (and never will waste my time), for example, with far leftist Michael Moore's drivel. Same goes for the Inventor of the Internet's "An Inconvenient Truth."

I get enough propaganda from the leftist "mainstream" media and right-wing websites on a daily basis, and I sure as hell ain't gonna pay money to watch it. But I will say this for the pathetic likes of Moore and Gore: At least their crap made money from the jump.

Same can't be said for Sarah Palin's new propaganda film, "The Undefeated." Its opening weekend was a complete disaster with film critics, and the reports were mixed at best as far as attendance -- ranging from a few limited full houses to reports of virtually no one attending other showings. You know things have not gone particularly well for a propaganda film (or hell, for any movie) when:

-The film gets a zero rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

-The film takes in a seemingly paltry $65,000-$75,000 in opening weekend box office. The "Palinistas" are spinning that the film will make more when released in additional theaters, but C'mon!

-A number of theaters reportedly debuted the film to nearly empty audiences.

-A journalist for The Atlantic attends a showing of the film in California and reports that "the audience consisted of himself, two women who left after 20 minutes and a brief visit from a couple of young lovers [making out]."

-Movie critics across the country dismiss the film as an "advertisement" and "two-hour infomercial for Sarah Palin" -- chock full of "hero-worshipping," not to mention "crescendo-edited at a dizzying pace, thunderously repetitive and its own worst enemy."

-The founder of The Razzies comments that Palin and her film are "what the Razzies are all about."

Jeezal peezal! If Palin ever has the lack of compassion for America to actually do a sequel to this apparent bomb, she really might think about spicing it up with some sex and violence. Her sex appeal is her top(enhanced) selling point, after all.

Just this past weekend, I watched last year's film, Machete. That film contained more left-wing propaganda and shameless use of right-wing stereotypes than a ten-minute segment of MSNBC, but it still entertained me through its combination of funny lines, cartoonish extreme violence, hot ladies, and not taking itself too seriously. Before her next film (if there ever is one), Palin should watch Machete and take a few notes.

Ban 'Em, Danno! Deranged Right-Winger GOP Presidential Candidate Herman Cain Says American Communities Have the Right to Ban Mosques from Existing.


He seems like an affable enough dude, even for a deranged right-winger. And I do like to see women and minorities buck the democrat party and be something other than leftist 20 percenters all the time. But C'mon, Herm! Ban all Muslim mosques?!

Better whip out that ol' pocket Constitution and take a look at that pesky little thing called the First Amendment. In particular, the Free Exercise Clause. It may just make for some enlightening reading.

OH MY! If I Grow a Pot Belly, Buy Some Short Shorts & Get a Zany Straw Hat, Can I Date This Buxom Bombshell Broad Too?





She's 36-year-old former Playboy playmate Victoria "Bamm Bamm" Silvstedt, and the linked story says this weekend she's "primped, preened and ready to party!" But with that guy?

That's boyfriend Maurice Dabbah "Dabbah Doo" (Meet the Flintstones) in the "#3" polo shirt, and he looks to be like a foot shorter and a whole lot older than his big-boobed blondie.

Translation: Dude's gotta be filthy rich -- undoubtedly living off the royalties from his former career as 70's country crooner Freddy Fender.

The couple was reportedly "living it up" late this week in St. Tropez (in the South of France), riding around on the old man's yacht, although the shapely Swedish model and her meatballs apparently found some time to break away to "strut her stuff" around for the paparazzi.

And thank God for that. Best pictures I've seen all weekend. Sure beats the hell out of looking at the sorry mugs of the republic partisans and democrat party, no?

Sheila "Jackson" Lee of democrat party Says GOP Is Making It Hard for Obama to Raise the Debt Ceiling Because He's Black: I Say OUTRAGEOUS & WRONG!



I couldn't disagree more with the democrat party congressman's statement. After all, everyone knows the republic partisans are out to get Obama because he's a Muslim. Race has got nothing to do with it. It's factually reckless and irresponsible statements like that which only serve to give these two otherwise fine political parties a bad name.

The "Men of Good Will" Have Left the Room, and I Ain't Talkin' About Obama Storming Out...


Following this story of the so-called "debt ceiling negotiations," I'm reminded of a line from Kevin Costner's Kenny O'Donnell character (a JFK aide) from the film Thirteen Days concerning the Cuban Missile Crisis. Commenting upon his hopes for a last-ditch attempt, through back-channel negotiations, to broker an end to the crisis with the Soviet Union's Khrushchev and avert a likely escalation into nuclear war, the O'Donnell character says: "If the sun comes up tomorrow, it is only because of men of good will. That's all there is between us and the devil."

Men of good will don't reside in Washington DC. Not anymore, leastways. I see a far leftist-controlled democrat party banking on the GOP caving and the democrats therefore not engaging in good faith negotiations in any sense of the phrase (offering up a paltry $2 billion in 2012 budget cuts). I see a far right-controlled republic partisan party completely fearful of and beholden to the right-winger tea partiers to such a degree that they largely refuse to even consider eliminating some tax deductions, (the partisan phrase is "loophole" or, alternatively, "raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires"), as sought by the democrat party.

I could well be wrong, but I only see this situation ending badly. Very badly. I don't see Obama and his leftist 20 percenters agreeing to any significant measure of necessary budget cuts. Put another way: I don't see them caving. But republicans, ever more fearful of the left-wing advocacy organization known as the "mainstream" media than they are of even the tea partiers, may well cave and agree (as they did earlier this year) to some gimmicky proposal that purports to make significant budget cuts when it really doesn't.

Or the other possibility: No agreement is reached on raising the debt ceiling. While the House GOP members may then try to pass their own version of a debt ceiling increase and force the Senate or Obama to kill it, I believe the Senate or Obama probably would kill it (maybe I'm dead wrong there, but don't think so), relying on the democrat party's media to still point the finger of blame at the GOP. As stated above, I doubt the democrat party caves here. There's also talk of a "McConnell compromise" in the Senate, but I think that'll probably be a total non-starter with GOP House members (even if House Golfer John "Party Time" Boehner seems open to it).

So that means no agreement and we come to the point next month when the United States allegedly won't have the ability to borrow enough money to pay all of its then due-and-owing debts. Much of that concern -- driven by outright lies by Obama and his minions -- is bullshit. Social security checks will keep going out. Our military personnel will continue to be paid. But how are the markets going to react? The credit rating agencies? That's the very scary thought. That, and the fact that the men of good will have long since left the building.

Welcome Back, Carter? Deranged Right-Winger Columnist Charges, "Welcome to Jimmy Carter's Second Term." But I Disagree...




I think the Obama presidency has in large part been little more than a W Bush third term. I know that earlier this year in this space, I said 2011 does feel a fair amount like 1979. Very true. But comparing the hapless president Carter to the sad likes of Obama and W Bush is a bit like comparing a common cold to advanced-stage, inoperable lung cancer (or, at the very least, a flaming case of gout of the right tit).

Did Jimmy Carter get us involved in (and/or kept us involved in) new and wholly unnecessary foreign wars and military incursions with untold costs both in terms of American lives and war expenditures? Did Jimmy Carter spend money like a drunken sailor to the tune of adding trillions of irresponsible new dollars to the already catastrophic national debt?

Did Jimmy Carter ever walk around in a tight suit all the time like he was Black Bart the wannabe cowboy tough guy? Did Jimmy Carter ever hold a phone backwards? Did Jimmy Carter ever forget how many states are in the union or what year it was? Was Jimmy Carter ever accused of being either the dumbest president or the most far leftist president in American history?

Barack Obama and George W. Bush are assclowns. They are the two worst and most destructive presidents of my lifetime -- far eclipsing the bumbling Carter on his worst day. What America has ever done to deserve such pathetic presidents back-to-back, I will never know. And the truly disquieting part: America may never fully recover from the wholly rotten experience.

Obama, Biden & the democrat party Get SERIOUS in "Debt Ceiling Negotiations," Proposing $2 BILLION in 2012 Spending Cuts!


Now this is what I call reasonable, good faith negotiating! Keep in mind the national debt is now $14.3 trillion (with annual budget deficits in recent years of $1.5 trillion or more). Keep in mind also that there are one-thousand billions in a single trillion.

A good analogy for what Obama, Biden and the democrat party are "proposing" here (and trying to hoodwink mainstream America with): This is like a junky bankrupt -- hundreds of thousands of dollars in the hole -- promising that one day next year he will save money by not ordering cheese on his Burger King Whopper; in the meantime and thereafter, however, he'll just keep borrowing and spending as he has been for years. Sounds like a plan! (For the suicide of America, leastways).

Obama Calls Getting Control of the Deficit a "High-Minded Pronouncement" By Opponents. He & the democrat party in the Debt Ceiling "Talks" Are Comical


The way they fight with every ounce of their being to ensure that the federal government spending cuts that result from the "debt ceiling negotiations" are just as tiny and miniscule as humanly possible -- even despite the stifling $14.3 trillion national debt. Budget and spending cuts are always a very bad thing, you see. An unnecessary evil.

Obama's and democrat party's "solution": Cut as very little from spending as politically possible; keep the massive size of the federal government in place and on the rise; and give lip service to being "serious" about debt and deficit reduction by pushing for as many tax increases as possible even during a dire recession (conveniently dovetailing, at the same time, into the much bigger and actually serious democrat party agenda items of redistribution of wealth and class warfare rhetoric).

I do thank Obama and the far leftist 20 percenter democrat party for reminding me on a daily basis why it is that I intend never to vote for another democrat party politician ever again in my life (absent the reincarnation of the last great American president, JFK, of course).

Not that I'll be voting for too many deranged right-winger republic partisans, mind you. Life's too short to do much of anything with respect to all of these partisans except just to curse at them, keep an eye on them, and always distrust them. But then again, maybe I'm just being "high-minded" and "obtuse"?

So Why Will the Most Far Left President in American History and One of the Two Worst Presidents of My Lifetime Probably Get Re-Elected in 2012?



Simple: The quality (for lack of a better phrase) of the republic partisan field of potential challengers. Case in point: Deranged right-winger GOP candidate Michele Bachmann. From the past weekend's headlines: "Michele Bachmann Promises to Ban Pornography, Gay Marriage." Good to see she really has her finger on the pulse of what's important to the nation these days. BTW, look up "unelectable" in the dictionary.

She Went Down on a Muffin, Literally: Just What Kind of a Human Being Puffs Drug Smoke Right in a Domesticated Cat's Puss (Allegedly)?





I suppose it might have been tolerable if it was a wild cat -- like a lion or something -- and puffing deadly smoke in the feline's face was necessary to prevent a good mauling. But this was a house cat for crying out loud!

Cops in Boulder, Colorado have busted 21-year-old Danielle Blankenship (mugshot above) for allegedly blowing heroin smoke right in the mush of "Muffin" the neighbor's cat, which has since keeled over. Dead. Expired. Gonersville. Up in smoke.

Cops first showed up at the apartment of this broad's boyfriend on a domestic violence call. Boyfriend says that Blankenship started off one day earlier this week by busting him one right in the chops after he wouldn't let her use his cell phone.

While there to investigate that situation, the cops noticed little Muffin lying on the apartment building's steps highly "lethargic" and "unresponsive" to the touch. "It could not seem to get up," said cop Gregory Perry.

That's when boyfriend told cops that his lovely old lady had puffed a big bowl of wrong right in the kisser of the cat. But Blankenship says the opposite, telling cops she didn't blow any heroin smoke at little Muffin. Oh, how purrr-fect!

Cops whisked the little furry friend off to the vet, where intravenous treatment got Muffin to "rally" for a short while before the cat reportedly "crashed" and bit the bucket (or kicked the bullet, or whatever -- Muffin's dead).

An animal autopsy will be performed on the pussy to determine cause of death. Meantime Blankenship got thrown in the can on charges of animal cruelty (the cat) and assault and domestic violence (the boyfriend).

And if it's found to have been a heroin overdose that made little Muffin go down, then Blankenship could face felony charges -- meaning the only smokes she may be puffing on for awhile will be the tobacco variety down at the hoosegow. But serves her right for Ruffin' a Muffin (allegedly).

Objection, Your Honor! -- My Fly's Open: Female Judge Allegedly Follows Willie Jackson into Men's Shithouse to Snap Photos of His Willie Johnson!




Too bad this broad didn't preside over the Casey Anthony trial. It would have been a four-ring circus instead of just one of those three-ring jobs:

Cops in Florida say a local female judge recently followed a man named Willie Jackson into the men's john at the courthouse, snapped some pictures of him in the urinal, and then went batty bonkers nuthouse apeshit when cops tried to bust her!

I've heard of people being addicted to their cell phones, but this is rather ridiculous. At first, I suppose 47-year-old traffic court judge Rhonda Hollander (mugshot above) might have claimed that she was too busy looking at her cell phone to notice that "MEN'S" sign on the courthouse shitter. But such a defense probably departs by the wayside after what Willie Jackson had to tell cops:

Willie says he was standing at a urinal "getting ready to urinate" when Hollander "appeared at the adjoining urinal and began snapping away" pictures of Willie and his Wilson on the judge's cell phone camera. For good measure, Willie says Judge Hollander also starting snapping her "kooky candid camera shots" of another man who entered the men's crapper after him.

Soon after when cops tried to confront Judge Hollander out in the hall, business really started to pick up. First Judge Hollander allegedly refused to turn over her phone to cops. After all, she had some great schlong photos on there (allegedly)! Why share?

Judge Hollander also reportedly took to arguing the law with the cops, claiming "that it was a public restroom and she was not violating any laws." Think of all the male pervert slimeballs over the years busted for spying on ladies in the toilet: This dame would've been THE judge for them! (Allegedly). It's a "public restroom," after all.

But the deranged behavior only escalated from there (allegedly). Cops say Judge Hollander just couldn't seem to get her fill of taking cell phone photos, as she allegedly kept snapping photos even as cops were escorting her down the hall toward a private room for questioning.

And then the coup de grace! Cops say that as one deputy tried to gesture to Judge Hollander to stop snapping pictures, the overbaked judge went after the deputy and tried to bite his damn finger off! A big scuffle allegedly broke out from there, with cops ultimately slapping the ol' cuffs on the good judge.

Now Judge Hollander may have to trade the courthouse for the icehouse and may only have the hacks to follow into the shithouse (allegedly) for awhile to come, as she faces a possible bid in the big house on a felony charge of "obstruction with violence" and other misdemeanor charges.

I just hope she doesn't try to pull any of that "public place" routine (allegedly) with the "female" cons in the hoosegow. Because they might just be inclined to teach her a whole a new meaning of the phrase, "address the bench."

Women Who Get Racked For Breastfeeding in Public Now Have Somewhere to Turn: The Pink & White Ice Cream Truck with the Giant Breast on Top!






Better watch out, Kim Kardashian (who's been known to fire out nasty little Tweets when she sees a mother breastfeeding in public). For that matter, any business out there having a problem with public breastfeeding had better watch out. That's because there's a new vigilante in town looking to protect "the right to breastfeed in public" -- and it comes with a huge boob affixed to the top of it!

"The Milk Truck" is the brainchild of one Jill Miller, an artist and teacher at (appropriately enough) Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. The idea is still in development, but Miller has reportedly raised almost half of the $10,000 that it will take to get "The Milk Truck" and its giant headlight(s) afloat.

Pledges to the cause have come through a website called Kickstarter.com. When the ride comes to full fruition, it will be "an ice cream truck with a giant breast on the roof."

The idea from there is rather simple: If a breastfeeding mother is getting hassled out in public, she need only call "The Milk Truck." It will then race to the location and park right outside the business. Then the driver will make a big production of it, "laying down a rug [and] setting up chairs under an awning on the side of the truck."

Meantime mama is free, if she wishes, to sit right down under the awning and start nursing "in an environment of support." Says Miller: "Thought the nursing mother created a spectacle? Meet The Milk Truck!"

Or put another way (as stated by the linked IVillage.com story): "If you think a nursing mama catches some attention, wait til a giant, nipple-topped van cruises your 'hood. There's not a nursing cover in town big enough to hide a boob like that!"

And another consideration: Do you really want to be the jackass restaurant owner who creates a media field day by having The Milk Truck show up at your joint? Put another way, the biggest help to breastfeeding mothers from The Milk Truck may just be its effect as a deterrent against lactation discrimination (an issue not exactly at the top of the list of political concerns of the leftist 20 percenters and republic partisans). Just what the knockers ordered, if you ask me.

Armed with a Murder Acquittal and "Newfound Celebrity," Casey Anthony Gets Set to Cash In. But with a Porn "Money Shot"?!?






I paid scant attention to the sensationalistic Casey Anthony murder trial. I'm funny like that. If everyone and their mother is following something in the pop culture (which is where I put the Anthony story/trial), I tend to want to ignore it. In short, I don't care much for being like everybody else.

However, once the Casey Anthony story crossed over into the porn world, Stop the Damn Press: Newsworthy, baby!

It really came as no surprise. I expected it. Porn company Vivid Entertainment always offers a porn career to any scandal-ridden or notorious new "celebrity" -- most recently Octomom (on multiple occasions).

But what I didn't expect was for Vivid to make Casey Anthony a porn offer before the ink on her jury verdict was even dry! Faster than you can say, "beyond a reasonable doubt."

Reportedly within a few hours of Tuesday's verdict, Vivid was already in contact with Anthony's attorney Jose Baez, offering Anthony the party animal and formerly accused murderer of her own daughter a career in the illustrious world of pornography.

Vivid "head honcho" Steve Hirsch says Casey Anthony will be a "big seller" in porn. Said Hirsch: "We've all seen the pictures of her partying and having a good time with friends where she definitely looks hot." Or looking at it another way, and as TMZ.com put it, since Anthony "clearly has daddy issues," she'd "make a GREAT porn star."

But alas, there's the dilemma. Would Vivid try to "sell" her as a straight (for lack of a better term) porn star, meaning ordinary porn not grounded in themes tied to her background? Or would she star in pornos with themes and "storylines" that are connected to and try to capitalize on her infamous past (beyond merely her name recognition)?

Typically you would guess the latter from Vivid, but what about when it comes to a woman previously accused of murdering her own child? Is that something you really want to play up? I mean, even in our rotten society and pop culture, some things (not many) are still viewed as going a bit too far.

Case in point: My initial idea for this post was to come up with a Top Ten list of potential titles for Casey Anthony porn movies. But it quickly became clear that there was little way to accomplish that without being in incredibly bad taste in most instances. Even though I live in a world of bad taste (just glance around at this blog), even I have some standards. I wonder if Casey Anthony and Vivid do?
