Trent Lott Really Gets My Goat
June 21, 2007
Senator Trent Lott causes further embarassment to the GOP by opening his mouth yet again. This time, he’s comparing illegal aliens to goats… Say what? Read this Sun Hearld article for the full report.
Lott pontificates:
“Now people are at least as smart as goats,” Lott continued. “Maybe not as agile. Build a fence. We should have a virtual fence. Now one of the ways I keep those goats in the fence is I electrified them. Once they got popped a couple of times they quit trying to jump it. I’m not proposing an electrified goat fence,” Lott added quickly, “I’m just trying, there’s an analogy there.”
BlahBlahBlahBlah… Lott continues:
“I don’t worry about offending anybody anymore, ” said Lott, “because I’ve already offended everybody.”
Well, you’ve got that right. Trent, grab your blankey and sit on your naptime mat. It’s quiet time.
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Corporations can be douchebags too. Take Village Green Companies, for example. According to their website:
At Village Green Companies, we’re not just developing, building and managing apartment communities, we’re developing, building and managing exciting careers…and creating a new generation of leaders!
Well, it looks like they’re also firing the current generation of heroes. According to The Florida Times-Union, Colin Bruley was fired for saving a woman’s life. Bruley is an employee and a resident of the Oaks at Mill Creek in Jacksonville, Florida. After hearing a fellow tenant’s plea for help after being shot, Bruley sprung into action… and was fired. It is evident that this company’s “we care” philosophy addresses its property, but not its tenants or employees. Is this a place that you’d want to live or renew a lease?

Will someone tell these Pakistani Douchebags to STFU!

Is that the pedophile prophet he is referring to?
Ijaz-ul-Haq, the Religious Affairs Minister, told the assembly in Islamabad that the award of the knighthood excused suicide bombing. “If somebody has to attack by strapping bombs to his body to protect the honour of the Prophet then it is justified,” he said.
Or, is Ijaz just the ultimate douchebag? Chill out and recognize that your religion is not what you say it is. Read all about this nonsense in this TimesOnline report.
The Douchebag Emeritus
June 20, 2007
We all know Jimmy Carter is a DOUCHEBAG through and through. His ranting about what’s legal and criminal is becoming so tedious, I just want to bitchslap the idiot and send him home. Is he, in fact, the cause of the current world’s plight.
This article by Dr. Michael D Evans, from the Jerusalem Post is worth reading for insite into a hollow soul. Another worthy read is Ben Johnson’s opinion as seen on FrontPageMagazine.com.

Hard Knock Life
June 19, 2007
Under the direction of mayor Michael Bloomberg, the city of New York has announced a new cash rewards incentive program targeted at the poor of the city. The experimental plan will offer individual cash rewards for parents who attend PTA meetings and schedule regular dental visits. In other words, a subset of the New York population is getting paid to act normal. Well, why not? After all, the city is paying women to stroll around the city topless. I heart New York. Read the details of the incentive plan here.
Enron Broadband Chief Jailed
June 18, 2007
Former Enron broadband chief Kenneth Rice gets 27 months prison:
Kenneth Rice, who led a failed effort by scandal-plagued Enron in high-speed Internet, was sentenced Monday to 27 months in prison for his role in defrauding investors in the energy giant, authorities said. Rice, who had been chief executive of Enron Broadband Services (EBS), also was ordered to forfeit 15 million dollars to be used to compensate victims of the Enron fraud, the Justice Department said.
The excutive had pleaded guilty in July 20 to securities fraud charges, and cooperated with the government’s investigation into the collapse of Enron.
Rice admitted that he and others made a series of false statements about the prospects for broadband in a bid to artificially inflate the price of Enron stock.
He was the among several EBS executives charged in connection with wrongdoing at EBS, a failed effort to develop a fiber-optic network for the Internet that at one point promised to deliver movies on demand in a partnership with the Blockbuster video chain.
Rice had falsely claimed that network control software developed by EBS was “up and running” when in fact the software had not progressed beyond the internal development stage. authorities said.
This was among several fraud schemes perpetrated at Enron. The company’s former chief executive Jeffrey Skilling was sentenced in October to 24 years and four months in prison for his role in the fraudulent accounting scheme.
Enron’s spectacular collapse in 2001, then the largest corporate bankruptcy in history with more than 40 billion dollars in outstanding debt, rattled energy and stock markets. Thousands lost their jobs and savings.
Our First Douchebag Could Lose Job
June 15, 2007
It appears that our very first Douchebag, administrative law judge Roy Pearson, may lose his job over his frivolous multi-million dollar lawsuit over a missing pair of pants. It is reported that Pearson’s boss has recommended that the District of Columbia deny Pearson another term on the bench. Let’s go one better and fire the guy.
