Sheriff Joe found to be targeting Latinos

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has engaged in racial profiling and must not use Hispanic ancestry as a factor when making law-enforcement decisions, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge Murray Snow issued the ruling Friday, more than eight months after a seven-day trial on the subject concluded. The trial examined longstanding allegations that Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s emphasis on immigration enforcement led deputies to target Latino drivers based on their race, and that by ...
Re: RaiderDuck, Baron of McDonald...
Only if we paid extra. Scottish feudal baronies (the only UK royal title it's legal to buy and sell) no longer come with any land. If you want land in your barony, that's extra.
So I will settle for being Sir RaiderDuck, OMS (Knight of Sealand).
You forgot to mention
...that he's also a Gay Womanizing Indonesian Saudi Muslim Atheist. :lol:
Re: RaiderDuck, Baron of McDonald...
I WISH I was Baron of McDonald. Ain't got the $$$ to buy the title with. :lol:
WOW. Generalize much?
I could flip it the other way and say "Romney had the support of the Christianists and the military-industrial complex."
Scottish Feudal Barony
First, I'd spend the $125,000 or so to purchase a Scottish Feudal Barony, so I could be RaiderDuck, Baron of McDonald (or wherever).
I've already been knighted by the Principality of Sealand (at a much lower cost), but this would just add to it.
LOVE the phone
This phone absolutely rocks. HD display, it's quick and snappy, and lots of room for icons. Highly recommended.

RIP Pat Summerall

Pat Summerall died Tuesday. He was 82.
That’s exactly how Summerall once told a writer he would craft the first sentences of his own obituary _ short and to the point.
He died in his hospital room at Zale Lipshy Hospital where he was recovering from surgery for a broken hip, a family friend confirmed.
The obituary conversation was held at his Southlake home after a 2004 liver transplant that saved Summerall’s life.
Typical…succinct…Summerall.
His minimalist staccato style was his trademark as the pre-eminent ...

Here's How to Get Rid of Them
Tell them you believe that:
A) The Holy Spirit does not exist, and
B) Jesus' alleged miracles were really performed by Satan, and Jesus was just taking credit for them.
Depending on which bible book you're reading, either or both of those statements is the "Unforgivable Sin" that God will never ever forgive you for, no matter how much you pray. Therefore, proselytizing to you is now a waste of their time, since you're going to burn no matter what.
RIP Margaret Thatcher and Annette Funicello
..and those are two names you probably never thought you'd see together.

A Leave of Presence
By Roger Ebert on April 2, 2013 9:37 PM
Thank you. Forty-six years ago on April 3, 1967, I became the film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times. Some of you have read my reviews and columns and even written to me since that time. Others were introduced to my film criticism through the television show, my books, the website, the film festival, or the Ebert Club and newsletter. However you came to know me, I'm glad ...

Marriage-Equality Arguments Were Today
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/mar/26/s upreme-court-gay-marriage-hearing
US supreme court justices tore into a central argument of opponents of same-sex marriage on Tuesday as the court heard for the first time arguments over whether gay couples have a constitutional right to wed.
The deep polarization of the court on social issues was laid bare on the first of two days of hearings on gay marriage, which saw liberal justices shoot down claims that same sex-couples should not be allowed to wed because they cannot procreate, while the ...
Painter who set fire to submarine gets 17 years, fined $400 million
http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_co verage/2013/03/worker_who_set_fire_aboard_sub _gets_17_years
The New Hampshire painter who set fire to a submarine so he could leave work early was sentenced to 17 years in prison and ordered to pay $400,000,000 today in U.S. District Court in Maine.
Casey Fury, 26, had already pleaded guilty to starting the May 2012 fire that caused $450 million in damage to the USS Miami while it was dry docked for an overhaul at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery.
Fury spoke briefly in court, apologizing to the people ...
Although...
I just read today that Pius XII (who was pope during WWII) had left a letter with his cardinals to be opened in the event of his capture by Hitler or Mussolini or whomever. The letter supposedly said (roughly paraphrased): If you're reading this, it means I've been captured. I hereby resign the papacy and request you hold a conclave to elect another pope immediately. So Pius XII almost resigned.
Pius XII
As there have been six popes since Pius XII: Having five in your lifetime means you wouldn't remember him, unless you believe in reincarnation or something. :wink:
Basket Case
...wins again! :D
Re: I am not thrilled
He's definitely bigoted towards gay people, just like more or less every pope before him (even the obviously gay ones like Benedict).
Re: Pope Francis I
That's who he named himself after. As a Cardinal, he turned down the official Cardinal's residence in Argentina, electing instead to live in an apartment, take a bus to the cathedral every day, and cook his own meals.He's also spoken about the "social sin" of rich people not giving to the poor.
Somehow, I doubt this guy is a Republican.
Re: That analogy is invalid
Oh, but it does. You're saying we can't know whether a God exists. Similarly, without looking, you can't know whether there is a tiny leprechaun in your computer. BUT: You don't believe there is one. Therefore, you would be an atheist with regards to a leprechaun in your computer, no?
Now expand that to include a supposedly all-powerful god who can't been be seen, heard, felt, smelt or tasted.
Re: When it comes to knowing
So do you believe there is a tiny leprechaun inside your computer tower? No fair looking. Do you believe he is there or not?
Re: There is no way
So this means you're ignorant?
Re: Pope Francis I
When they say "Not facing questions," they mean he hasn't been implicated in any wrongdoing (unlike that scumbag Cardinal Law, for instance).
Not Ignorant
Or at least I don't think I am.
As for me being arrogant...well, Basket Case can probably fill you in on that. :lol:
Pope Francis I

Jorge Mario Bergoglio
Age: 76
Country: Argentina
Outlook: Moderate
Career: Academic
The archbishop of Buenos Aires is a Jesuit intellectual who travels by bus and has a practical approach to poverty: when he was appointed a cardinal, Bergoglio persuaded hundreds of Argentinians not to fly to Rome to celebrate with him but instead to give the money they would have spent on plane tickets to the poor. He was a fierce opponent of Argentinas decision to legalise gay marriage in 2010, arguing children need ...
Re: What exactly makes you "hard core"
I just tend to be very "In your face" about it, especially online.
Re: "Hardcore Atheist"
Check out my Facebook page, and you'll see what I mean. 8)
This is True
I'm a hardcore atheist, but found myself watching a webcam feed of a chimney in downtown Rome (while listening to How to Destroy Angels, ironically).
New Pope Elected
White smoke's coming out of the Sistine chapel, and the bells are going off. No word as to who it is, but this early I'm thinking it's Angelo Scola, and he'll probably be either Pius XIII or Benedict XVII.
