It's All About Me, Man

I've finally achieved consistency in my life. Any person of average or above intelligence can predict what I will say next with unerring accuracy. And what I say will always be wrong.

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] Re: [progressive] The DA stole his life, justices took his money

 

For whatever reason, the office of prosecutor is a great springboard for higher political office, and many people go into it with that in mind.  Winning high profile cases is a great way to get some publicity for those future runs, and capital cases, and child abuse cases are the best for this.

You don't want to take on a case you are likely to lose, and rich people (OJ, Dominique Strauss Kahn) can mount better defenses, so you take them on at your own peril. Much better to throw the book at poor people, and so that's what they do.  It's difficult to know how many innocent people have been sent to jail to satisfy the political ambitions of these unscrupulous people.

Janet Reno and Scott Harshbarger are a couple of examples I can think of off the top of my head with successful careers built on the persecution of people for crimes they didn't commit - crimes that didn't even happen. Both of these people are Democrats, but party affiliation isn't a factor - ruthless, relentless ambition is the real issue.

And of course it would be better if things weren't this way, but its hard to see how it will change.  Politicians and judges who climbed in just this way won't change it - and as long as the population in general act like sheep and accept the scapegoating of their fellow citizens, in fact, they love it, an accusation is as good as a conviction to get the crowd to turn on one of their own, and peck them to death in the court of public opinion.  Child abuse is an even more effective charge than murder to set this process in motion. Nothing beats the appeal of a public hanging - or in our modern age, and electronic lynching. Ironic that Thomas claimed that's what happened to him - now here he is writing a decision that protects the practice.

Or a prosecutor can go after organized crime, maybe get themselves murdered, or go after corporate crime, like Eliott Spitzer.  Its an easy choice if mostly what you are interested in is getting ahead.

Prosecutors are not responsible to train their staff that they MUST turn over evidence that is favorable to the defendant?

Huh? This explains the great many cases where we have heard time and again that the prosecutors knowingly prosecuted innocent people.

Let's look at this from a different angle.

Those Prosecutes are there to represent the best interests of We the People? Or are they there to use any person who cannot defend themselves from monsters, to be ale to climb the so called ladder of the Justice system so they can make more money AND ENRICHEN the Prison system?

There job is NOT to get the actually Guilty? Just to get convictions?

The 'letter of the law' is an aberration to the purpose of the law, then only they who control the letters of the law need no fear the law, as this is solid proof, That Justice Thomas and his fellow DO NOT work for We The People.

These are the people, who are suppose to evenly and fairly apply the laws to EVERYONE, and this is a shining example of how dangerous the legal system could be to you.

Something needs to be done to return our Nation to it's purpose, not the letter of documents whose PURPOSE is suppose to be to ensure the PURPOSE of our Highest laws, are carried out. We now have a whole criminal system that no one lawyer or judge can understand all of it, because it no longer is designed to protect the citizens of the nation and it definitely is not there to uphold the purpose of our Constitution.

The people for this job, are you and I, as those who are suppose to represent us, are showing in bold face, we are not those being represented and worked for.

A Supreme Court's ruling has made it even more likely that innocent people will be railroaded by untrained prosecutors.

One month before John Thompson's scheduled execution, a private investigator discovered that prosecutors had hidden evidence that exonerated him.

Justice Clarence Thomas, writing for the 5-to-4 majority in Connick v. Thompson, said the D.A.'s office was not liable for failing to train its lawyers about their duty under the Constitution to turn over evidence favorable to the accused.

The lawyers had kept secret more than a dozen pieces of favorable evidence over 15 years, destroying some.

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] Fwd: FLAVORPILL: Musicians and the actors who were born to play them

 

These jerks are screening my comments. I could log on under an assumed name, but why should I?  I'm proud to be me. Proud to be the best poster they've ever had.


This is my latest comment to be screened out:

"Why do I even bother.  Mick Jagger, the guy who has been cool for 50 years?  You mean the guy who hasn't been cool for 30 years, don't you?  When (not if) they make a movie about me, there is only one choice to play me:  Howie Mandell."

Musicians and the Actors Who Were Born to Play Them

Whoever cast Al Pacino as record producer / songwriter / murderer Phil Spector in HBO's upcoming biopic is a genius. Even though the pair aren't exactly body doubles (they are both relatively small men), it's an exciting choice. Pacino has made a career out of playing dark, bizarre, and morally complex characters, from Sonny Wortzik in Dog Day Afternoon and Bobby in The Panic in Needle Park to Angels in America's Roy Cohn and Jack Kevorkian. We can't wait to see what he'll do with the role of one of pop culture's greatest contradictions — a man who had the capacity to both make beautiful music and kill. The news of Pacino's casting got us thinking about other musicians and the actors who were born to play them. Read more »

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] NPR listener comments, I get dizzy with anger.

I am 26 now and was part of the wave of young progressives who helped vote in Obama in '08. I remain committed to focus on personal liberties and environmental issues held by that group, but I have never been convinced that entitlements are very important to me. The growing concern over the deficit has further diminished my opinion of them. Considering I have at least another forty if not fifty years to work before I could benefit from them personally, I am not confident they will even be in place by then.
To sum up I am all for cutting a deal on both sides in order to take care of this problem.

-Cameron

This flaming asshole thinks s/he is a "progressive" - that progressive means "it's important if it affects me, and to hell with it if it affects somebody else."  Not to mention the magical thinking of "nothing will ever happen to me - I'll never have a sever back injury that will put me in the same boat as an 80 year old." Not to mention this moron thought they were helping the cause of personal freedom by voting for Bush III.  Give me strength.  The amount of stupidity i the world is just overwhelming at times.

Oh, there are lots of comments from other wingnuts, too. But at least they know what they are.

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] NPR and nuclear power

 

I'm wondering if anybody at FAIR has looked at this issue.  I see that somebody looked at CBS in 2007... how about NPR in 2011?

I will acknowledge that a lot of what I believe I've heard  - a pro-nuke bias in the wake of a huge nuclear disaster, as my fellow visionary, or perhaps delusional kook Milan Shakar posted on the NPR website - is a matter of tone, rather than outright and outrageous bias.

Milan Shakar (MilanShakar) wrote:

Why in the wake of a huge nuclear disaster does NPR's coverage over the past few weeks seem weirdly tilted toward nuclear power? I know there is a (small) bit of nuance in the stories, but not that much, and to read the headlines and first few paragraphs you would think the stories were largely positive.

One thing I value about FAIR is how when you study a media outlet (like NPR) you monitor it for an extended period, and you measure quantifiable things.  I'm not sure this can easily be quantified, but it looks like something is there to me, and I'm wondering if anybody's looking into it.

They recently did a story about how US-style training might have helped the Japanese in their disaster (in much the same way boxing lessons might help me win a match with Mike Tyson?).  A number of listeners/readers called bullshit on them, there was a remarkable concensus... when I went back to the site today, I found 2 or 3 nuclear advocates have pasted their opinions all over the comments.... ridiculing any notion that they are in the pay of / or are associated with the industry.  Maybe it's true. I just found the timing interesting.

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] Fwd: The Takeaway: News of the World, No Longer

 

I wrote to PRI (but was not able to post on their webpage, they are even more chickenshit than NPR):

When I saw this in my email: "The Takeaway: News of the World, No Longer" momentarily I thought it meant The Takeaway was being cancelled. The warm, fuzzy feeling soon faded when I realized you were talking about somebody else. Murdoch could have saved himself a lot of problems by following NPR and PRI's lead; just forget about "reporting" entirely, and just interview other journalists, and pass along government propaganda as if it had something to do with the truth.  Bad Rupert!  No sushi!

Tomorrow on The Takeaway

Sometimes the big news is the news itself.

After mounting pressure in the wake of a earth-shaking scandal in Britain involving reporters hacking the cell phones of murder and terrorism victims, News Corp. tabloid News of the World is closing. It's a historic development in the world of print media, and a huge change for the publication's employees. What's next? We'll learn more from News Corp. expert and author Sarah Ellison, and speak with someone whose phone may have been targeted by the tabloid. 

Another crisis still faces a different sort of corporation. The American government sits on the brink of debt default. Today, President Obama had a "constructive" meeting with top lawmakers to try and hash out a deal. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? We'll check in with The Takeaway's Todd Zwillich to get to the brass tax. 

While U.S. politicians struggle with a dearth of cash, Africa grapples with a deadly lack of water. International aid groups are appealing for help in the worst drought in 60 years that may threaten the lives of millions. It could be the biggest world news story you aren't hearing about, and we'll learn more with the help from Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times as well as reporters from our partners at the BBC. 

Also in the show, we'll continue our summer music series with Jim James of the band My Morning Jacket, finish off our "My America" series with actor John Turturro, and talk about this weekend's movie releases. 

These topics and more tomorrow, on The Takeaway.
