This past weekend I found myself in bookstores turning copies of Ann Coulter's book "Godless" around so that they were facing the RIGHT way, pun intended.
At the local Borders, I saw a full display of the "offending" book turned around as I was first walking into the store. When I was done they were all facing out, so that people could see both the title and the photo of the author.
I also ran into the old "turn and hide the book behind another book" trick at our usually reliable warehouse club store. When I was done fixing the display, I was confronted by an employee of the store, who was wondering what it was that I was doing. After informing her that I was putting the book out in such a way that shoppers could acutely see it and if they wished to, they could buy a copy, I received a stammering repeat of the first question. I then asked her if she wanted me to report to her manager the manner in which I found the book displayed in the first place. She walked away. I went by later, on my way out and found that the books were just as I had left them.
So what's all this talk about the right to dissent being squashed by the Republithug ChimpyMcHitlerBurton's goons?
Who's freedoms are being denied now?
In an infinite universe, even the impossible is possible.
These are the incohearent and badly spelled ramblings of one jimmy the leg, semi-professional crank, and one or more of his friends.
Here will be found musings on politics, music, baseball, and whatever else is bothering our feeble little minds.
Enjoy.
If you like it tell your friends, if you don't, keep your opinions to yourself

Sorry For The Silence
I've been trying to post the last couple of days, but for some reason Blogger has been unreasonable and hasn't let me save or post.
Well, life goes on.
I'll be back with more rants next week on such topics as Iran, RI Senate race, Looney Lefties and all the usual crap I rant about.
UPDATE: I just saw that a post that refused to appear yesterday popped-up today right after I posted my mea culpa. Go figure.

A Rock Upside His Head
A Florida judge has issued one of the most useless decisions not issued by the 9th Circuit in a long time.
When faced with two childlike attorneys who refused to come to an agreement on where to hold a bloody deposition, he ordered them to play a game of Rock Paper Scissors.
And he's f'ing proud of his decision.
Well what do we expect, he was a Clintonista appointment in 2000. Why should the judge be any better at making decisions then the guy who put him there.

Judge Gregory A. Presnell of Orlando ordered the unusual measure, which he characterized as "a new form of alternative dispute resolution,"
