And so the Mighty Magpie flies and flies and looks down on
the countryside and lights upon another worn, worm-holed and textured
distressed fence post of topical topsy-turviness.
Its all there folks in black and white for you to read and
now, through the magic of streaming media, you can be force fed oodles and
oodles of endless tripity tripe that at one time was reserved only for those
viewers of the mindless but warmly loved boob tube.
Boobus Americanus
So sit with me here while I regurgitate another round of
recent events that should never have come to soak into that sponge that is the
human brain. News that is so
irrelevant that it bears noting here at The Mighty Magpie.
Al Franken Cries….right up there with that classic “Jesus
Wept.”
Al Franken had his day in Congress this week when he openly
wept before the forum during a debate on the renewal of the “Violence Against
Women Act”. It seems he was
quoting from the words of the late Sheila Wellstone who was best known as a
champion, a modern day Joan of Arc, who advocated the safety of women from the
violence of men.
The good Senators voted 68 to 31 to renew the act. Yay for
the good guys! 68 senators against
violence toward women and 31 senators in favor of violence toward women. Now, I might be twisting the meaning a
bit but people I find it absolutely appalling that this subject even has to be
debated. Violence against women is
good---Fire is bad. It’s just that simple. You are, like the voter says, either for or against.
So Mr. Franken, good on you for standing up and taking out
the tears in front of your peers.
Send me a list of those 31 people who voted against the act. I would be curious as to their reason
for fighting against something that is so morally correct.
Thomas Kemp: Did he die in pain?
Thomas Kemp, age 63 was executed this week in the Arizona
State Prison system. Seems that he
kill a Hispanic student and told the corrections officer that he did so
“without regret”. He also launched
into a tirade about immigrants being beneath him. Nice guy. To
me, looking from my fence post, this looks like a bonafide hate crime.
The issue that is has now become part of a civil suit is
whether or not Mr. Kemp experienced pain during the execution process. In other
words, did the corrections officers hurt the bad man?
Folks, he took the life of another human being and he
indicated that he did it without remorse.
Do you think the victim experience pain? Did Kemp sit his victim down in a nice comfortable chair in
a classic Soylent Green moment and put the victim down peacefully while
watching a large screen TV of flowers overlaid by layers and layers of
classical music?
Of course he didn’t. He slaughtered another human
being. Put this to bed lawyers.
How is this going to benefit your deceased client? Are you going to contact him by Ouija Board to confer? What is the point? Let this subject die
like Kemp let his victim die. For shame!
Well, Boom!
There was an explosion in Hamas last week. What a
surprise. The rebels claim it was
a military rocket while Damacus say that “terrorists” caused the
explosion.
Well, Syrian President , Wyle E. Bin Coyote, why don’t you
just blame it on the ACME bomb factory?
Bottom line: 16 people died but that should not bother
you—what does it matter to you if its 16 or 1000 people dead—blood is blood and
it has stained your hands a million times over. What are 16 more?
Well, I just got a tip that a fellow Magpie has located a
couple of crows pretending to be magpies. They are hiding out in a nearby
cornfield so until next time…see ya then.
