Great Jumping Jehoshaphat's Ghost, a hooker soliciting $25 for "favors" gets thrown in jail while states attorney generals can solicit tens of thousands of dollars with impunity from companies with matters before her department.
Pin up model, part time political prostitute, and Florida Attorney General even toyed with human lives by delaying an execution because it conflicted with her campaign kickoff fundraiser.

She's also had illegal contacts with lobbyists not registered to lobby in FL.
[Andy Abboud, a lobbyist for Las Vegas Sands, which donated $500,000 through its chief executive to the Republican group this year, has been urging attorneys general to join an effort to ban online poker. At breakfast, he approached Attorney General Pam Bondi of Florida.
“What are you going to be doing today?” he asked.
“Sailing,” Ms. Bondi replied.
“Great,, I want to go sailing, too” Mr. Abboud said, and they agreed to connect later that day.] emphasis added to highlight absurdity.

If you don't remember the LIBOR scandal, the acronym stands for the London Interbank Offered Rate and marked as rate trillions of dollars in investments got pegged to. Major banks rigged the rate which directly took billions of dollars in illicit gains, in many cases from municipal bond offerings such as in Orange county, Florida and thus from taxpayers like me. money that could have gone to building new schools or fixing aging water and sewage pipes.

Totallly stolen video....
....from my Facebook timeline. Also hate/love Facebook because people post but don't connect, kind of drive by conversations with meaninings, implications,, sarcasm, and words lost to the wind.
This made me laugh hysterically.
This made me laugh hysterically.
Stephen Stills & Manassas - Isn't About Time - Down the Road (May 1973)
Modernity pisses me off.
We all shared music in the 70's, but we did so with cassette tapes which wore out; we had an understanding our trading partners would go out and buy all the music they could afford.
Now, the record business finds itself collapsing while artists now get ripped off by fans instead of signing rapacious and borderline theft contracts. Some people didn't get sodomised by lawyers but had their work outright stolen. In last few years, a black singer got 3/4 of a million dollars in back royalties.
"Wait, blog boy, put down the bubbler and go to the googler for the answer!"
Martha Wash, backup singer who struck a legal blow for justice: [No less importantly, Wash became an accidental linchpin for artists' rights. After the singer brought various lawsuits against producers and record labels for proper credit and compensation, federal legislation was created making vocal credit mandatory for all albums and music videos.]
Crap, y'all already killed MTV, which doesn't play videos anymore because people--including my
self--doesn't play music videos anymore because we have become accustomed to stealing music,
So buy as much music as you can afford, preferably straight from the web sites of bands. You can listen to this whole album on Youtubes, but then buy it if you dig it,
Screw record companies, not musicians!

Jake Bruce, Rest in Peace
[LONDON — Jack Bruce was part Mississippi Delta and part Carnaby Street. In his glorious heyday as bassist and lead vocalist of 1960s power trio Cream he helped create a sound that combined American blues and psychedelia to thrill audiences throughout the world.
Bruce, who died Saturday of liver disease at age 71, enjoyed a long, respected solo career after the band's acrimonious breakup, but will be best remembered for his stint with Cream and for classics like "Sunshine of Your Love" and "I Feel Free."]

Fucking suck on this, NSA!
Welcome to America; kindly check your senses of irony, satire and humour at the border, bitches.
And, oh yes, Americans, be careful what you tweet, since the National Insecurity Administration monitors US social media traffic for 377 words, which will protect der Vaterland, oops, der Homeland.
[It just goes to show that even seemingly innocent descriptors can be taken wholly out of context. Anyone who has been through the U.S. border will know it is wise not to make any smart cracks, witty remarks, or frankly show any emotion for that matter.
It nevertheless serves as a reminder to think very carefully before you tweet.] (Emphasis added to highlight death and dearth of irony,)

For God's Sake, Pam Bondi, have you no decency?
[Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has long been accused of being a lightweight....
But Bondi has taken superficiality to new heights. Or perhaps depths.
Florida's top cop halted an execution — so that she could host a political fundraiser.
For herself.] Emphasis added because that is just despicable!

Pam Bondi, Bitch FL, pic from http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/pulp/2013/04/obama_got_it_all_wrong_with_ca.php
[A heated moment came when Crist accused Scott of delaying an execution so that his attorney general could attend a political fundraiser.
"She asked me to delay it because it didn't work on the dates that she thought it was going to be on," Scott said in response. "She apologized."
In September 2013, Pam Bondi apologized for delaying the planned execution of Marshall Lee Gore, a notorious rapist and murderer, because it conflicted with a fundraiser.]

On Vacation
Went on little all expenses paid và cay to Cape Canaveral FL 😷. (Dang Google, play nice with my smiley face thingy, please.)

It all depends on your perspective
Thank goddess of irony for this video found on book of Face while watching my beloved Gators get pummeled.
To what depths must the FL Reptiles sink for Will Muschump to get fired? Does he have pictures of AD Foley's secret trip to Vegas with underage hookers, cocaine nad deeds too terrible to contemplate much less mention?
Dammit. Gators got me watching the Seminoles! And praying to your fuzzy feelgood Lord doesn't help.
I'm cursed, I tell you, cursed.

Rugby, a Beautiful Game Played by Some Ugly Forwards
Have long contended that American football allows much more violence by use of pads and a helmet; the gear allows use of body as a projectile to launch oneself at other players, resulting in greater impacts.
So the video here does not show anything condoned nor in any way shape or form allowed by the rules.
Nevertheless, I find it funny, even though punch like this liable to have killed me. Wonder if I can find wheelchair rugby?

Rape Kits and a Lawful Society
We start with a few propositions in a lawful society, the most important perhaps that we agree to act under certain rules which cover our business and interactions with others.
We deem safety of individuals paramount and thus set up rules criminalizing actions which injure others.
Few actions can injure as much as rape.
Rape violates the very personhood of an individual, man and woman, and reduces the victim to less than human, a thing with no control of one's very self, in essence a slave to the whims and actions of another. Any just society would consider that among the most reprehensible of actions deemed as criminal and thus subject to removal from a lawful society.
A just society than would investigate and punish accusations of rape. One of the main tools in a rape investigations has collection of of DNA evidence, generally called a "rape kit." Such collecting happens in a clinical setting and certainly also feels intrusive to the victim.
Think about telling a rape victim that a large percentage of rape kits collected have yet to get tested. They certainly would fail to find our society just.
In Tennessee, 9000 kits remain untested, which actually makes an improvement, as reported in the Washington Post. Of attacks in Seattle, Washington, authorities only managed to get 22% tested, also Wisconsin has 5951 kits untested.
Across the country, estimates put the number of untested kits at over 100,000, "some held for over decades." That it fell to a private citizen, Hargitay, to bring attention to the widespread lack of testing of rape kits, remains unconscionable, especially view of the grave effects for survivors.
By accident, Hargitay got a role in a television crime drama often dealing with the crime of rape. As she went on public appearance, survivors told Hargity of their travails. Delving into the issue, found herself shocked--as should we all--that tens of thousands of rape kits remained untested all across the country. So she founded an organization--A Joyful Heart--focused on helping people heal, not perpetuating their victim hood but helping humans rise above terrible circumstances.
Amen for Mariska Hargity.
And No More!

"To me, the rape kit backlog is one of the clearest and most shocking demonstrations of how we regard sexual assault in our society," [actress Mariska] Hargitay said in a statement. "A rape kit can bring justice, so often an integral part of a survivor's healing. Testing rape kits sends a fundamental and crucial message to victims of sexual violence: You matter." (emphasis added) http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/nationworld/chi-new-data-rape-kit-backlogs-20141003-story.htmlFor instance in Las Vegas. only 16% of rape kits have gotten tested. Sixteen per cent! That only marks the most egregious example of the shocking pattern of neglect shown across this country, proving to some that we live in a patriarchal society where the aspirations and very lives of women matter little.
