The police had them closed down for more than 6 hours, and it snarled traffic all day long, but absolutely nobody is saying what the reason was.

KING 5 News reports the ACLU has sued the Snohomish Police Department for arresting a U.W. arts professor for taking photos of a powerline:
“The ACLU says in October 2005, Scheier drove to Snohomish and stopped to take pictures of the power towers at a substation … Scheier was on public property and there was no indication that photos were not allowed.
“The ACLU says as she was driving home on Highway 9, Scheier was pulled over by police and questioned about why she was taking photos. Scheier, who often uses photos of public land and structures in her art, told police she was interested in power lines as part of the ecosystem.
“That’s when police allegedly put Scheier in handcuffs and had her sit in the back of a patrol car for almost half an hour. … Police released Scheier and told her she would be contacted by the FBI.
“Critics of the lawsuit say the police were only doing their jobs and in a post-9/11 world, anyone taking pictures of a power station should expect to be questioned by police.”
Roger Rabbit Commentary: Those “critics” (you can bet they’re Republicans) need their fucking heads examined. Or, if they want to live in a country where the police can arrest people for taking snapshots of powerlines, they should apply for emigration to North Korea. As for the Snohomish Police, they need to have the shit sued out of them. Bankrupt the fucking city, then maybe the local voters will get fed up enough to vote in a new mayor who will hire a new police chief who will hire new cops who don’t have their heads as far up their asses as the current Snohomish cops do. Thank God for trial lawyers.

This is the third time the ACLU has sued a local police agency for arresting ordinary citizens for taking ordinary photos of ordinary objects on public property where no warning signs were present. The first two cases resulted in the police paying financial settlements. This case should result in the police department coughing up cash, too. (And it wouldn’t hurt if they had to fork out a shitload of money from their budget to pay lawyers to defend them.) Maybe if this kind of unconstitutional behavior costs police agencies enough money, they’ll stop it.

As much as I would like to support our local police, unfortunately, some cops are rightwing assholes who misuse the power given to them to hassle people they don’t like.

1. The ACLU defends the Bill of Rights, not any particular individual or organization.
2. Test cases always involve unpopular groups or individuals (at least, until the Busheviks showed up with their wholesale violations of constitutional rights). As someone once said, popular causes don’t need defending.
3. The Nazis, as odious as they are, have exactly the same rights to free speech and assembly as the rest of us do.
4. Do you really want to give city bureaucrats discretion to decide who has constitutional rights, and who doesn’t?
5. The object of defending the Nazis’ constitutional rights is to make sure YOU have constitutional rights. If they don’t, neither do you.
6. Defending the constitutional rights of the Nazis did not constitute an endorsement of that group or what it stands for.
Any questions? No, I didn’t think so. You, of course, are too stupid to know what questions to ask. Naturally, I don’t expect a lumpkin like you to understand any of this.

Roger Rabbitspews:
@28 Think not? Read this article from a radical leftist magazine called Business Week:
“Dollar Crisis: Economic Pearl Harbor?
” … For the United States, a Chinese decision to abandon the dollar would be tantamount to Pearl Harbor without the war. …
“Millions of people would see their standard of living suffer as a result, and American self-confidence, already shaky, would crumble even further. The United States would suffer a serious blow on its very own turf, the economy.
“Americans can hardly blame Beijing for their troubles. The Chinese aren’t exactly kamikaze politicians, concocting some secret plan to attack the dollar. On the contrary, the preparations are taking place in full view. Translated into Texan, what the Chinese politely told the Americans last week simply means: Unless something happens, all hell will break loose.
“For years the US economy has suffered one dramatic setback after another. … The United States, a once-proud exporting nation, became the world’s biggest importer. … Within a single generation, the world’s biggest lender has become its biggest borrower ….
“And what has been Washington’s standard take on the shift? The dollar is our currency, but it’s your problem.
“Thus, the tone of the US government’s callous and thick-skinned reaction to China’s announcement last week came as no surprise. … But the truth is that the United States would be better off if … the administration of President George W. Bush would take decisive action instead of sulking.”
Roger Rabbit Commentary: The slowly unfolding U.S. economic catastrophe is happening on the Republicans’ watch, and because of Republican policies. Another example of gross mismanagement by the terminally incompetent, if not downright criminal, GOP regime.
By the way, this article isn’t from 10 years ago. It’s from last week’s issue.

Roger Rabbitspews:
Now for the LEAD STORY in the CURRENT ISSUE of radical leftist magazine Business Week:
“The Consumer Crunch
“Recession or not, American families will be forced to tighten their belts
“The long-awaited, long-feared consumer crunch may finally be here. That might not mean an economywide recession, but the pain for American households will be deep.”
Roger Rabbit Commentary: You really should read this article, because it’s an eye-opener. The U.S. economy’s troubles go much deeper than weak housing prices or tight credit. They are pervasive. In a nutshell, this article says America’s 25-year consumer spending binge that began in 1982 is over:
“The subprime crisis … marks the beginning of the end for the long consumer borrow-and-buy boom. The financial sector, wrestling with hundreds of billions in losses, can no longer treat consumers as a safe bet. … What comes next could be scary — the largest pullback in consumer spending in decades ….
“Consumers’ outlays have outpaced the growth of their income for a long time. … While many companies struggled in the 2001 recession and afterward, American consumers just kept borrowing. … Not this time, though. ‘The consumer is retrenching, bigtime,’ says Richard Hastings, economic adviser to the Federation of Credit & Financial Professionals.”

“Because Bush is devaluing the dollar, that’s why. He’s already turned America into a third world country, and his next project is to turn the dollar into a third world currency.”
Ladies and gentlemen, Roger Rabbit has lost his mind…..
Third world country? Currency?
Hardly….

Not content with smearing and sliming the religion of peace, Medved-o-fascist Michael Medved has lowered himself to even lower slanders. He’s sliming and smearing the Clintons.
Today, last hour, he gave a forum to Kathleen Willey, the Democrat activist who had a close sweaty active encounter with Bill Clinton near the famous sink in the famous White House. Then Willey became the target du jour of Hillary’s War Room.
We were told that Democrat Willey was unreliable. We were told that Democrat Juanita Broaddrick was unreliable. We were told that Ken Starr was a sick sex-fiend Javert.
Then we were told by George Stephanopoulos that President Bill Clinton was a sick. Lying. Sex. Fiend. His wife was and is his enabler, and his consigliere with a very long Long Knife.

@22 “20 … Part of the urban mythology that you pre-KOS-tards were pushing back then, along with your Purell Koo-Laid. Even the Jayson Blair Times backed away or backed down from the DNC party line about conservatives rioting against the chad(t) eaters.”
So what was that I saw on the TV news programs at the time? A Boy Scout troop meeting? I know what I saw, and what I saw was a bunch of subversives bussed to Miami by the RNC who were rioting and threatening the public workers inside the building. After Miami 2000, Republican complaints about “protesters” will forever ring hollow. Our protesters don’t try to overthrow the elected government. That’s exactly what your protesters were there for.

Roger Rabbit spews:
@23 (continued) Of course, people like you with snow-cones for brains have no idea why the ACLU defended the Nazis who wanted to march in Skokie. So let me explain it to you. I’ll do this in a simple step-by-step format in hopes that even a retard like you can understand it.
1. The ACLU defends the Bill of Rights, not any particular individual or organization.
2. Test cases always involve unpopular groups or individuals (at least, until the Busheviks showed up with their wholesale violations of constitutional rights). As someone once said, popular causes don’t need defending.
3. The Nazis, as odious as they are, have exactly the same rights to free speech and assembly as the rest of us do.
4. Do you really want to give city bureaucrats discretion to decide who has constitutional rights, and who doesn’t?
5. The object of defending the Nazis’ constitutional rights is to make sure YOU have constitutional rights. If they don’t, neither do you.
6. Defending the constitutional rights of the Nazis did not constitute an endorsement of that group or what it stands for.
Any questions? No, I didn’t think so. You, of course, are too stupid to know what questions to ask. Naturally, I don’t expect a lumpkin like you to understand any of this.
Now go suck your thumb.

Roger Rabbit Quiz
What do the Skokie Nazis and Sen. Larry Craig have in common?
[ ] 1. They’re weird
[ ] 2. They’re rightwingers
[ ] 3. They’re anti-American
[ ] 4. They ran to the ACLU for free legal help
[ ] 5. All of the above
Roger Rabbit spews:
Okay, so we have a weighty question here, which the constitutional law experts at the ACLU are called upon to resolve in the courts:
Should cops be able to arrest people for (a) taking photos of powerlines and/or (b) tap dancing in public restrooms?
Roger Rabbit spews:
We need the ACLU’s legal experts to figure these things out, because our WingNut (TM) Idiot (SM) friends are too stupid to ask the right questions, let alone come up with the right answers.

“Today, last hour, he gave a forum to Kathleen Willey, the Democrat activist”
Do you mean THIS Kathleen Willey?
“Willey has a history of controversial claims including telling the FBI she was pregnant and she had a miscarriage when she did not.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_Willey
Do you mean THIS Kathleen Willey?
“Kathleen Willey will be a guest Monday morning on two nationally syndicated radio shows, discussing with Laura Ingraham and, later, G. Gordon Liddy, a new book in which she details allegations of intimidation and harassment orchestrated by Hillary Clinton.”
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/n.....E_ID=58743
Yeah, she looks like a “Democratic activist” like Dubya resembles an organ-grinder monkey — a startling resemblance, if you ask me! I’ve always thought Willey was a GOP plant in the Clinton White House. She seems like the type.

@28 Think not? Read this article from a radical leftist magazine called Business Week:
“Dollar Crisis: Economic Pearl Harbor?
” … For the United States, a Chinese decision to abandon the dollar would be tantamount to Pearl Harbor without the war. …
“Millions of people would see their standard of living suffer as a result, and American self-confidence, already shaky, would crumble even further. The United States would suffer a serious blow on its very own turf, the economy.
“Americans can hardly blame Beijing for their troubles. The Chinese aren’t exactly kamikaze politicians, concocting some secret plan to attack the dollar. On the contrary, the preparations are taking place in full view. Translated into Texan, what the Chinese politely told the Americans last week simply means: Unless something happens, all hell will break loose.
“For years the US economy has suffered one dramatic setback after another. … The United States, a once-proud exporting nation, became the world’s biggest importer. … Within a single generation, the world’s biggest lender has become its biggest borrower ….
“And what has been Washington’s standard take on the shift? The dollar is our currency, but it’s your problem.
“Thus, the tone of the US government’s callous and thick-skinned reaction to China’s announcement last week came as no surprise. … But the truth is that the United States would be better off if … the administration of President George W. Bush would take decisive action instead of sulking.”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: The slowly unfolding U.S. economic catastrophe is happening on the Republicans’ watch, and because of Republican policies. Another example of gross mismanagement by the terminally incompetent, if not downright criminal, GOP regime.
By the way, this article isn’t from 10 years ago. It’s from last week’s issue.

Now for the LEAD STORY in the CURRENT ISSUE of radical leftist magazine Business Week:
“The Consumer Crunch
“Recession or not, American families will be forced to tighten their belts
“The long-awaited, long-feared consumer crunch may finally be here. That might not mean an economywide recession, but the pain for American households will be deep.”
Quoted under fair use; for rest of article and/or copyright info see http://www.businessweek.com/ma.....060001.htm
Roger Rabbit Commentary: You really should read this article, because it’s an eye-opener. The U.S. economy’s troubles go much deeper than weak housing prices or tight credit. They are pervasive. In a nutshell, this article says America’s 25-year consumer spending binge that began in 1982 is over:
“The subprime crisis … marks the beginning of the end for the long consumer borrow-and-buy boom. The financial sector, wrestling with hundreds of billions in losses, can no longer treat consumers as a safe bet. … What comes next could be scary — the largest pullback in consumer spending in decades ….
“Consumers’ outlays have outpaced the growth of their income for a long time. … While many companies struggled in the 2001 recession and afterward, American consumers just kept borrowing. … Not this time, though. ‘The consumer is retrenching, bigtime,’ says Richard Hastings, economic adviser to the Federation of Credit & Financial Professionals.”
