Obama Strangles Old Lady

Well, not really… but in his latest 30 second campaign ad titled “Dignity,” he appears to strangle an old lunch lady at the end of the video. It’s pretty funny if you watch the very end (oh, and with the sound off)…

Inhospitible Hospital

According to this AP report, 49-year-old Esmin Green had been admitted to the Emergency Room of Brooklyn’s Kings County Hospital. After nearly 24 hours of waiting and waiting and waiting for treatment, the woman collapsed face-down onto the floor - died - and remained on the floor for more than an hour, while hospital staff and patients went about their business: 

[She] had been waiting in the emergency room for nearly 24 hours when she toppled from her seat at 5:32 a.m. on June 19, falling face down on the floor.She was dead by 6:35, when someone on the medical staff, flagged down by a person in the waiting room, finally approached, nudged Green with her foot, and gently prodded her shoulder, as if to wake her. The staffer then left and returned with someone wearing a white lab coat who examined her and summoned help.Until the staffer’s appearance, Green’s collapse barely caused a ripple. Other patients waiting a few feet away didn’t react. Security guards and a member of the hospital’s staff appeared to notice her prone body at least three times, but made no visible attempt to see if she needed help.

In response to these horrific events, the hospital announced that it had fired six staff members, including health care and security employees. Yep. Fired. That’s it? What about negligent homicide? Where are the criminal charges in this case?Want outrage? Here is a link to the security video showing the ordeal. (Note: check out the security guard who stares idly at the body on the floor, and then rolls past the scene in a desk chair — DOUCHEBAG!)

Update: Democrats for Satan

If Democratic strategist Paul Begala is going to call Republican donors “dirtbags,” then we can play that game too… Let’s see… Uh… Democratic Party officials are big, fat, ugly, kidnappin’, keep-people-in-dog-cagin’, shackle-people-to-bed, rapin’ satanists. No, seriously. According to this WorldNetDaily report:

Joy Johnson, 30, a vice-chairwoman of the Durham County Democratic Party and vice chairwoman of the Young Democrats, made an appearance in court yesterday after she and her spouse, Joseph Craig, were arrested Friday.Craig, 25, is charged with second-degree rape, second-degree kidnapping and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon for an incident in January and another in May. Johnson is charged with two counts of aiding and abetting.According to published and broadcast reports, prosecutors said a man and a woman met Craig through a shared interest in Satan worship, although the couple never consented to any physical abuse.Craig allegedly shackled his victims to beds, kept them in dog cages and starved them inside his home. Police say he beat the man with a cane and a cord, and raped the woman.

Silly democrats. Don’t you read your own party platform?

The Democratic Party has a long and proud history of representing and protecting the interests of working Americans and guaranteeing personal liberties for all. One of the places we articulate our beliefs is in the Party’s National Platform, adopted every four years by the Delegates at the National Convention.

Now, be good democrats: say you’re sorry, blame the Bush administration, and get on with things.

Update (2 Jul 2008):

Apparently, Democrats who torture others in the name of satan are everywhere:

The North Carolina case of an alleged satanic torture involving a Democratic Party official and her husband has now expanded to include a third suspect, an even higher-ranking Democrat.

Diana Palmer, the first vice-chairwoman of the Durham County Democratic Party, joins her political colleague Joy Johnson, the third vice-chairwoman of the party, and Johnson’s spouse, Joseph Craig, in facing charges.

Palmer, 44, surrendered to police in Durham, N.C., this afternoon and was charged with being an accessory after the fact of assault with a deadly weapon. She’s being held at the Durham County Jail under $95,000 bail.

Muslims Bark About Bullshit

According to the Daily Mail, a group of Scottish Muslims are up in arms over a postcard featuring a six-week-old puppy. The cards, which were designed to advise locals of a telephone number for non-emergency calls, instead shocked and outraged the Muslim community:

Postcards showing police dog-in-training Rebel, a German shepherd born in early December, are causing a furor among the region’s Muslims who believe dogs are ‘ritually unclean.’

A Muslim calling something else unclean? Gee, that’s rich. What are the police supposed to use instead? A pig? I don’t think so.  In any event, it gets worse. A Muslim city councilman is calling for an investigation:

“My concern was that it’s not welcomed by all communities, with the dog on the cards,” said Dundee councilor Mohammed Asif, according to the report.

It sounds like these guys are barking up the wrong tree on this one. I’d say let sleeping dogs lie on this one, and find some real issues to bitch about.
