Keith 'Mashed-Up Bag of Meat' Olbermann Will Return to @ESPN

And his contract includes a "no politics" clause, so the mf doesn't go off on misogynist rants like a "mashed up bag of meat."
At NYT, "Olbermann Will Return to ESPN":Within ESPN, there was concern about asking Olbermann back because he left the network under emotionally charged circumstances and because it was feared by some that Olbermann had become too politicized as the host of his interim MSNBC program “Countdown,” which aired from 2003 through January 2011.

On his new show, Olbermann will be free to discuss matters other than sports, including pop culture and current events, but not politics, the two-year pact specifies.

Mayor Eric Garcetti Responds to #TrayvonMartin Protests

I think he's shown a hands-on approach. He was out of town when the rioting got out of hand and he cut short his trip.

At the Los Angeles Times, "Mayor Garcetti faces an early test in Zimmerman protests":


Two weeks after being sworn in as mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti is facing the first big test of his leadership skills as he responds to outbreaks of vandalism and violence in the aftermath of George Zimmerman's acquittal in the killing of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.

Garcetti stepped before a bank of news cameras on a lawn outside Dorsey High School in South Los Angeles on Tuesday and immediately made clear his solidarity with peaceful protesters, saying that they had "gathered to exercise beautifully their 1st Amendment rights."

But he also sought to establish a firm law and order footing as the city's new chief executive. "Tonight, we will be increasing the number of police officers deployed, and they will respond quickly to any criminal activity," Garcetti said, with Police Chief Charlie Beck and South Los Angeles clergy and political leaders at his side. "Crimes of any kind will be stopped."

For Garcetti, who interrupted an East Coast trip Monday and returned to the city after the unrest erupted, the disturbances offered a jarring demonstration of how forces beyond his control can disrupt his efforts to shape a new City Hall agenda.
Garcetti's a far-left tool, much like Occupy-plagued Oakland Mayor Jean Quan. Idiot city leaders like this are completely bum-f-ked when they realize the protesters with whom they share ideological solidarity couldn't give a rat's ass about them and their words of "beautiful" peace and freedom speech.

It's pretty hilarious actually. Now, crack some heads next time, mayor.

Liz Cheney Will Run for U.S. Senate

Let's be honest here: Liz Cheney really doesn't want to be a U.S. Senator, she wants to be president. Thus she's got to have experience in elected office, and the Senate would give her a credible, if not esteemed, perch to launch a presidential bid.

As for the politics of Wyoming, they say Mike Enzi's well liked, although no doubt tea party conservatives could pick through his voting record and find thing to grumble about. Is Liz Cheney that grassroots as to have automatic support of the conservative outsiders storming the gates of Washington? I don't know, although certainly anti-incumbency sentiment could help her in the primary.

Personally, I'd like to see a President Cheney, hence I fully support her upstart challenge to the incumbent. But the whiff of carpetbagging is strong, and lots of establishment types --- D.C. beltway hacks who have a lot of power --- aren't so thrilled with Cheney's chutzpah, so we'll see.

#Zimmerman Jurors Speak Out: Juror B37 Does Not Speak for Us

At the Los Angeles Times, "Zimmerman trial: 4 jurors say Juror B37 does not speak for them":



A day after one juror in the George Zimmerman murder trial spoke out on national television, four other members of the six-woman jury released a statement separating themselves from her comments.

In their statement to CNN on Tuesday night, the jurors defended their roles in the trial.

“We, the undersigned jurors, understand there is a great deal of interest in this case. But we ask you to remember that we are not public officials and we did not invite this type of attention into our lives," the jurors wrote.

"We also wish to point out that the opinions of Juror B37, expressed on the Anderson Cooper show, were her own, and not in any way representative of the jurors listed below."

The jurors' identities have not been revealed; they were identified in court by letters and numbers.

In an exclusive interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper on Monday, Juror B37 said the panel was initially divided on Zimmerman’s guilt in the death of Trayvon Martin, but worked through the evidence to reach a unanimous verdict. A couple of the jurors "wanted to find him guilty of something," the juror said.

She said she thought Zimmerman had been driven to recklessness in pursuing Martin by a string of burglaries in his Sanford, Fla., neighborhood, but also thought that Martin could have walked away from the confrontation.

“I think both could have walked away; it just didn’t happen," the juror told Cooper, her face shadowed in the darkened studio. "It’s very emotional."

Race, Politics, and the #Zimmerman Trial

From Jason Riley, at the Wall Street Journal, "The left wants to blame black criminality on racial animus and 'the system,' but blacks have long been part of running that system":
Any candid debate on race and criminality in this country would have to start with the fact that blacks commit an astoundingly disproportionate number of crimes. African-Americans constitute about 13% of the population, yet between 1976 and 2005 blacks committed more than half of all murders in the U.S. The black arrest rate for most offenses—including robbery, aggravated assault and property crimes—is typically two to three times their representation in the population. The U.S. criminal-justice system, which currently is headed by one black man (Attorney General Eric Holder) who reports to another (President Obama), is a reflection of this reality, not its cause.

"High rates of black violence in the late twentieth century are a matter of historical fact, not bigoted imagination," wrote the late Harvard Law professor William Stuntz in "The Collapse of American Criminal Justice." "The trends reached their peak not in the land of Jim Crow but in the more civilized North, and not in the age of segregation but in the decades that saw the rise of civil rights for African Americans—and of African American control of city governments."

The left wants to blame these outcomes on racial animus and "the system," but blacks have long been part of running that system. Black crime and incarceration rates spiked in the 1970s and '80s in cities such as Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and Philadelphia, under black mayors and black police chiefs. Some of the most violent cities in the U.S. today are run by blacks.
A great piece, the argument of which will be completely dismissed by the left's idiot race plantation masters.

LAPD Deploys for 4th Night of #Zimmerman Riots

Oakland's Non-Profit Youth Radio Smashed by #TrayvonMartin Rioters

Because it's all about "justice" for the disadvantaged, mf.

At Twitchy, "For Trayvon? Genius rioters smash up Youth Radio in Oakland [photos, video]":
“Mostly peaceful protesters” mostly smashed the crap out Youth Radio, a nonprofit youth-based media organization in Oakland, Calif. Hey, someone’s gotta hold those windows accountable for George Zimmerman’s not-guilty verdict … for the children.


What would yours say? Get a job, mf.

And, well, maybe the youth director will think twice about tweeting that dumbf-k communist solidarity crap. Love the folded arms. He deserves it, the tool.

Eric Holder Slams 'Stand Your Ground' Laws

And Katie Pavlich slams our Attorney General of the Department of Social Justice:



A corrupt, bigoted clueless f-k.

And at the Wall Street Journal, "After Trayvon Martin Slaying, Holder Blasts 'Stand Your Ground': Attorney General Says Such Laws Cause More Violence Than They Prevent":
Attorney General Eric Holder blasted "stand-your-ground laws" in the wake of the acquittal of George Zimmerman for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin—saying such laws cause more violence than they prevent.

Mr. Holder, speaking to the NAACP Annual Convention in Orlando, Fla., not far from where Mr. Zimmerman was acquitted last week, took direct aim at stand-your-ground laws, which say a person can use force in self-defense without first attempting to retreat from the situation.

"Separate and apart from the case that has drawn the nation's attention, it's time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of self-defense and sow dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods," Mr. Holder said, according to his prepared remarks.
Selective, racially inflammatory justice. That's the name of the game with the criminal administration.

Salon's White Privilege Branding

George Zimmerman is not white. No amount of leftist racist grievance-mongering will change that fact. He's Hispanic, not "white Hispanic," the term the networks invented when Zimmeran's minority background didn't fit the white supremacy narrative. And remember, because the left has been getting nearly everything it wants of late, the hissy fit tantrums are even more violent than usual.

William Jacobson has more, "Zimmerman verdict energizes Salon.com’s White Privilege branding."

#TrayvonMartin Temper Tantrums Continued

I think Rush Limbaugh's commentary can't be much improved, "The Left's Pathetic Temper Tantrum Over the #Zimmerman Verdict."

That said, the leftist crybabies are still bawling over the verdict, as evidenced by all the screeching cries of racism at Memorandum. You've got Al Sharpton, Eugene Robinson, the Think Progress communists ... you name it.

I'm rolling my eyes. The regressive left's tantrums of the day, I guess.

In any case, here's Robert Stacy McCain's latest, "‘The Greater Good’: Heretical Facts vs. the Myth of St. Trayvon of the Blessed Hoodie."

I'll have more later...

She Miscarried When Martin Luther King, Jr. Was Assassinated, and More Horrible Racism Inflicted on Alice Walker!

This woman is truly pathological. She writes:
I write this, remembering that when Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated in 1968, the shock to my system was so severe I lost the child I was carrying. This shock, this assault on the psyche and body, is what is intended.
A sick, sick woman.
