DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK:NPR

Another week, another round of so many choices. Oddly enough, no political party gets the honors this week. Shocker.

1-WIKILEAKS AND THE PENTAGON- Double edged sword here as both get a big raspberry this week. Wikileaks gets a big WTF for unleashing 800 phone book pages of classified info which I admit I'm torn about. On one hand they are pointing out hypocrisies our government is once again caught lying to us about. On the other, they are also pointing out people, specifically Iraqis who helped us in the war, which not only puts their lives in danger, but makes sure that no one will trust us again to keep their identifies secret. I give a slight edge to the Pentagon for douchebag supreme as the new documents show an alarming lack of candor about Iran's involvement in the war. It reminds me a lot of China's involvement in Vietnam, which we didn't want to acknowledge because we didn't want a bigger war. Then we shouldn't have gone in the first place. Fight a war all out or not at all. This piece meal crap is killing us. This is why wars drag on for decades. Because no one wants to really win. More weapons get sold that way. These wars have to stop today and the next time someone wants to attack us, remind them why we have nukes.

2-MOUNT PLEASANT POLICE FORCE- Having killed a young black man for doing nothing more than moving his car out of fire lane seems like overkill for even the most ardent cop supporter. The cops then released the fact that the young man was drunk at the time which may be contributing factor but still doesn't give them the right to fill him full of holes. The fact that his parents are not ghetto trash but highly articulate, well educated individuals doesn't make the cops look any better. I have a feeling this is going to get ugly. Cops are rapidly becoming targets, as seen by the mutliple deaths of police over the past few months. And while I don't like cops, most of them don't deserve to get shot at a traffic stop. But civility is dying due to a lying fascist government who are using the police to enforce their illegal laws.

3-ANDY QUIAD AND HIS WIFE- In a Holy God what were they smoking moment, Randy Quaid and his wife were arrested AGAIN for illegally squatting at a former residence. These two nutbags had been picked up before for skipping out on a huge hotel bill earlier this year. Randy Quaid said his life was in danger and seeked asylum from Canada as a result. Supposedly, eight of his friends had been murdered like Heath Ledger and David Carridane and he was next. The fact that both died from their own hand didn't seem to matter. Quaid had been banned from Broadway for life last year due to his overbearing attitude that made both cast and crew demand his removal. His career is over.

4-NPR Explaining in graphic detail why I hate PC nonsense, NPR fired reporter Juan Willams this week after he made "disparaging" remarks about Muslims. Thing is, he didn't. He didn't say "I hate Muslims," or "all Muslims must die," which would be a firable offence. He said when he got on a plane and someone was wearng Muslim garb, he got nervous. WHO DOESN'T? That's it. He then went on to explain that generalizations are dangerous and we shouldn't lump all Muslims together, which he's right about. So what did NPR do? They canned his butt. This was more likely that he was a Fox news staple and the liberal elites didn't like that. Well too bad. I don't particularly like people who are too liberal or too conservative and here the line has definitely been crossed. So way to go NPR. You are douchebag of the week.
