Jane You Ignorant Slut…

Last night was the 40th Anniversary celebration of Saturday Night Live. I recorded the show so I could skip through commercials and bad skits. For the most part I enjoyed the show and the walk down memory lane. I liked the tribute to those who died and the funny line on the long running gag about Generalissimo Francisco Franco still being dead.

The Weekend Update segment included Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and Jane Curtin in the anchor chairs. Curtin discusses how much fun she is having and how she likes being back and that she does not want it to end. They show a picture of her from when she was part of the cast and she says she used to be the only cute blonde doing fake news and that now there is a whole network of them. As she claims this the logo for FOX News is displayed.

Curtin missed the irony of her claim in that she was doing a show on the network that employs Brian Williams who is all over the news for telling stories, you know, fake stuff.

Granted, Williams is not a cute blonde but the claim that there is an entire network dedicated to fake news coming from the network with the guy who has been discovered doing it is is beyond belief.

I like Jane Curtin. I always liked her on SNL and I have enjoyed some of her other work. I also know she probably did not write the bit, she just read it (like Obama) and at least she did a better job reading the teleprompter than Al Sharpton does.

Still, it was troubling that the show that cut its teeth doing parodies of things involving all kinds of people stayed away from Williams and his story. A few of the guests poked the Williams story and at least one reference made the hosts obviously uncomfortable.

If they had worked Williams into that bit it would have worked much better.

The show was pretty good and fun to watch even if Curtin was way off the mark with her joke.

She was a better presence than the other two.

BTW, Sarah Palin looked way better than Tina Fey…

Perhaps Israel Should Wipe Iran Off The Map

For years and years Iran has threatened to wipe Israel off the map and Iran has been working on nuclear weapons so it can do just that. It seems like every so often the Middle East Nations and terrorist factions that despise Israel provoke that tiny nation into a conflict and then cry to the United Nations when Israel kicks the snot out of them.

Israel has shown remarkable restraint considering how often its neighbors lob rockets at them and kidnaps and murders its citizens.

Every time Israel responds it is made out to be the bad guy by the UN and our own leadership demands restraint.

The Obama regime is working with Iran to help clear a path so it can develop nukes and Israel does not appreciate that. Obama is an anti Semite so he is quite comfortable when the people of Israel come under attack.

Israel recently took out a group on the Syrian border because that group was involved in acts that were a danger to Israel and her people. Iran did not like that and has vowed to attack Israel for the aggression.

Let them attack and this time when Israel responds the rest of the world can keep its mouths shut as Israel hands Iran is ass on a platter. If Iran goes after the Jewish nation then it should respond with devastating force and completely and utterly destroy Iran. When Israel is done there should be nothing left but rubble.

And any nation that retaliates should suffer the same fate.

As for those who will sit back and condemn Israel, keep your mouths shut. You have interfered far too often when Israel is beating the hell out of an aggressor but keep silent when it is being attacked.

So let Iran attack and Israel respond and be done with this mess.

Then Obama will have one more reason to dislike Israel.

As if he needs one.

Police Can See Inside Your Home; Hannity Torn On Issue

A report from USA Today from 20 January 2015 indicates that at least fifty police agencies are using a new radar device that allows officers to see if people are inside homes and if they are moving around. These agencies are using the devices, shall I say, under the radar.

The officers use the device to violate the right of the people inside to their privacy. Courts have ruled that officers must get a warrant to do such a thing but these officers are not getting those warrants.

Their reports do not mention that they used the device to determine someone was in a structure instead opting to report that an anonymous source reported it or there was reasonable suspicion.

On his radio program last evening Sean Hannity discussed this technology and said he was torn on the issue because officers who are going to a structure that might have dangerous people in it need to know how many and if they are moving around. It is, according to Hannity, all about the safety of those officers. Hannity has been willing to cede some rights in the name of police or some law in the past. He claims to be conservative but has no trouble allowing for a police state in some cases…

There is no doubt that the safety of officers needs to be taken into consideration. I only wish that the safety of the building occupants mattered as much to agencies and people like Hannity. How often are people harmed during a raid (and how often is it the wrong house)?

In any event, there is a simple solution and since Hannity claims to be solutions oriented he should buy into it.

GET A WARRANT.

I was under the impression the police had to stay a certain distance from your property anyway. But even if they are allowed to just trespass and walk up to your house they certainly are not allowed to use devices to search the inside (and that is what this is).

If they have probable cause to be there then getting a warrant should be easy. If they can’t get the warrant it is likely they should not be at the house in the first place. If there is no proof of wrongdoing then being there amounts to a fishing expedition where officers are looking for a reason to be able to enter. If they are there to make an entry then it should be easy to include the radar in the warrant.

I, unlike Hannity, do not want to give up my right to privacy. My home belongs to me and if you want to search it (by entering or with a device) then you need a warrant.

Period.

No need to be torn Sean. Tell them that you believe in officer safety BUT they need to get a warrant.

What’s The Buzz?

I usually write about politics and the military but occasionally throw some other things in to mix it up a bit. Such is the case today.

A company involved in high tech sex toys has come out with a vibrator that synchs with your Smart Watch (is this what Apple had in mind) and it vibrates in rhythm with your (or your partner’s) heartbeat. What will they think of next?

I guess it was only a matter of time before this happened as we are well on our way to sex robots but synching a vibrator to a Smart Watch seems to be a bit overboard. To each his own.

They have all kinds of things now that synch to smart devices.

If only they can come up with one that lets us shock politicians who are screwing things up.

On second thought, that device would occupy so much of people’s time nothing would get done in this country (there, threw some politics in).

So maybe the synched vibrator is a smarter choice. Considering what the government does to us everyday it might just be good practice…

What time is it? [bzz] ohh,[bzzzz] ohhhh,[bzzzzz] ohhhhh,[bzzzzzz] ohhhhhh,[bzzzzzzz] ohhhhhhh,[bzzzzzzzz] ohhhhhhhh, [bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz] ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, bedtime…

Russell Simmons Is On The Wrong Track

Russell Simmon, founder of Def Jam Recordings, is up in arms about the recent Grand Jury decisions regarding police officers and black men who died in an encounter with them. Simmons basically hinted that if there is not justice and if the demands he and other famous folks are not met regarding indictments then there will be even more hell to pay.

Simmons seems to think there is a war on black people by the cops (and some of the encounters are clearly cops doing wrong) while he ignores the epidemic of black on black murder in this country (mostly in liberal run cities).

Perhaps Simmons ignores the black on black crime because the music he produces encourages that particular type of culture. Perhaps he ignores it because the thug culture espoused in that music is part of the problem and he is contributing to it.

Well Russ, you are also responsible for many of the encounters where black thugs are rightly killed by cops.

The genre of music you produce also pushes hatred for cops, espouses cop killing and shows disrespect for the rule of law.

Yeah, you are part of the problem moron and if you push for even more civil unrest you might not like the outcome.

But at least you will be able to make money producing a song about it. You can call it Bitch Thug Got Whacked…..
