Cleveland Police Officer Killed

Cleveland Police Officer Derek Owens will finally get recognized for his hard work. Officer Owens will finally get the thanks owed from the community he and other officers so richly deserve everyday.

All too often the men in blue that work these thankless jobs are not thanked until it is too late...

Why now? Officer Owens was gunned down early Saturday morning on Cleveland's eastside during a routine call.

From the PD --

A 36-year-old Cleveland police officer died early this morning after being shot in the abdomen while chasing four men Friday evening in the city's southeast side.

Derek Owens, who joined the force in September 1998, was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center by a squad car after the shooting at East 102nd Street and Parkview just after 6 p.m. He died at 12:13 a.m. in surgery, hospital spokeswoman Susan Christopher said.

Police Chief Michael McGrath said, "It is a sad day for the Cleveland Police and all of Greater Cleveland. The death of Officer Owens is senseless and tragic. He was a true hero who paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving his community. My prayers go out to his family.". More....

Officer Owens and his partner did nothing more than confront some hoods drinking beer at an abandoned house. Upon questioning them the suspects began to run. Giving pursuit Officer Ownes was shot and struck under his bulletproof vest.

CPD, along with help from Shaker Hts PD apprehended 4 suspects in this killing.

My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, wife and children. Being the son of a former police officer - something like this was always one of my worst nightmares growing up. This one hits close as my Father was an officer in Shaker Hts for over 20yrs.

King's Note -- The next person that post/remarks about so-called police brutalty or the use of deadly force by the CPD or any police agency - get ready to have this post shoved up your A** in a very brutal way!

U.S. & China Sign POW/MIA Agreement

China will help verify the whereabouts on some of our POW's & MIA's. Maybe they will send home some of our soldiers instead of sending us lead poisoned toys!

From The Conservative Voice --

U.S. and Chinese officials signed a document Friday morning in Shanghai, China to formalize research in Chinese archives on Korean War POW/MIA matters.

Ambassador Charles A. Ray, deputy assistant secretary of Defense for POW/Missing Personnel Affairs, signed the arrangement with Maj. Gen. Qian Li Hua, of the Chinese Ministry of National Defense.

The arrangement outlines expected cooperation between the U.S. and China in researching the archives, which may shed light on Americans who were missing in action or held as prisoners of war in camps managed by the Chinese. In seeking to account for the approximately 8,100 servicemen missing from the Korean War, the Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office has sought access to these archives for more than a decade.

The cooperation of the Chinese people and government has led to the recovery of the remains of Americans lost in the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the Korean War and World War II. This joint archival effort is expected to open more avenues of research to enable U.S. analysts to narrow their searches for the specific locations where American remains may be buried.

The signing ceremony took place in the same Shanghai hotel where President Richard Nixon and Premier Cho En-lai signed their historic communiqué in 1972.

Steaming Load Award - A Double Duece Drop!

Oh Wow! Boy do I feel sorry for Porcus & Spike the Wonder Tyke over at PIG.

I

f this is a sign of what's coming for the Korrectnik's in year 5, Sparky's & Sparkette's you better buckle up!

It looks as if Hambo may have broken through his steel reinforced door. Maybe it's too much sugar from the frosting on their birthday cake - but he dished up a double duece drop of the Steaming Load Award this week....

Steaming Load #1: The Virtual Fence

According to a Washington Post news item, the Vicente W. Bush’s ‘virtual’ fence along our border is a ‘literal’ failure. Despite all the bloviating by that jackass Chertoff, and all the other presidential minions, the damn thing doesn’t work. That’s not breaking news to this pagan scribbler and it shouldn’t shock you either, PIGster Sparky.

For the fetid facts, I let the Post do the heavy lifting:

‘...Investigators for the Government Accountability Office had earlier warned that the effort was beset by both expected and unplanned difficulties. But yesterday, they disclosed new troubles that will require a redesign and said the first phase will not be completed until near the end of the next president's first term.

Those problems included Boeing's use of inappropriate commercial software, designed for use by police dispatchers, to integrate data related to illicit border-crossings. Boeing has already been paid $20.6 million for the pilot project, and in December, the DHS gave the firm another $65 million to replace the software with military-style, battle management software...’

‘..."The total cost is not yet known," testified Richard M. Stana, the GAO's director of homeland security issues, because DHS officials "do not yet know the type of terrain where the fencing is to be constructed, the materials to be used, or the cost to acquire the land."

The pilot virtual fence included nine mobile towers, radar, cameras, and vehicles retrofitted with laptops and satellite phones or handheld devices. They were to be linked to a near-real-time, maplike projection of the frontier that agents could use to track targets and direct law enforcement resources.

GAO investigators said that Boeing's software could not process large amounts of sensor data. The resulting delays made it hard for operators in a Tucson command center 65 miles to the north to lock cameras on targets. Radar systems were also triggered inadvertently by rain and other environmental factors. Cameras had trouble resolving images at five kilometers when they were expected to work at twice that distance, Stana said.

He added that the system was developed with "minimal input" from Border Patrol agents, resulting in an unworkable "demonstration project" instead of a operating pilot system. He blamed the DHS for acting too hastily in trying to deliver a working pilot by last June...’ (Post)

When you cut through all the crap, the existing virtual fence design sucks. The primary contractor, Boeing, can’t deliver a finished product by the end of its contract and will probably need an extension. If, somehow, they get the damn thing working, it will be too little, too late, and way too damn expensive.

Isn’t it time for Uncle Sam to cut the crap and get back to basics? Isn’t it time for our Elected Tormentors to impose MEANINGFUL penalties on employers who hire border jumpers? Isn’t it time to build some formidable physical barriers along our borders? Isn’t it time to give to take the shackles off our Border Patrol by giving them the manpower, money and weaponry that they require to do their job effectively? It’s time for Uncle Sam to stop playing at border enforcement. It's time to get the damn job done the old fashioned way with barriers, manpower, weapons, and meaningful punishment for those to barge into our great nation, uninvited.

Parting shot: If Vicente Bush is so thrilled with virtual fences, let him road test the damn thing at the White House and his ranch in Crawford.

Steaming Load #2: Demoncrat Energy Policy Fiddling

With oil prices setting new records, hourly and gasoline prices headed into the stratosphere, the Clown Posse on Capitol Hill pooped out a steaming butt bullet that turns a desperate situation into a disaster. Instead of taking the shackles off our energy industry by opening up our proven oil reserves for development, these Demoncrat asshats passed a bill that will kick up prices much, much higher.

Determined to punish the oil companies, these Demoncrat jackasses are looting oil company bank accounts with new taxes (the removal of a pair of tax breaks) that will steal an additional $17.65 billion dollars (minimum) from them during the next 10 years. And what, you ask, will these Congressional turds do with the money? They’re going to fund the usual, pie in the sky bull crap that’s notoriously inefficient, at best (wind power) and a disaster on the US economy, at worst (biofuels like methanol).

If enacted, this bill will put American oil firms at a competitive disadvantage with their foreign competitors. Furthermore, it will increase their costs by removing the tax credit for costs incurred while extracting gas and oil outside the USA. Add that to the ban on exploiting domestic sources and the Demoncrat scumbags are condemning American energy consumers to the tender mercies of our steadfast friends, like Hugo ‘Skipper’ Chavez, Mahmoud al-Gilligan, and the Jihadikaze spewing Sand Box punks.

We need nuclear power plants NOW. We need new oil refineries NOW. We need to open up all our domestic oil reserves for production NOW. We need to use our massive coal reserves much more efficiently NOW. We need to stop pretending that biofuels, wind energy, and assorted other pipe dreams can have a meaningful impact on our energy needs in the foreseeable future.

We can’t do any of this while these Steaming Elected Tormentor Loads are stinking up Washington D.C. It’s time to flush them down the crapper, clean the stains out of the bowl, than put some rational adults in their place.

Girlieman of the Week: Messiah Al Gore

More from the Birthday Boy's on this PIGlorius day....

Girlieman of the Week
Date Awarded: February 29, 2008

Girlieman: Messiah Al Gore
Antics: Unwilling, unable, to face the 'baby it’s cold outside' music.

Despite a spate of recent reports that put his Global Warming Gospel into question, Messiah Al Gore has been curiously silent. Somehow, he has managed to tune out reports such as this one from the Daily Tech blog:

Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on.

No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets(Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

Meteorologist Anthony Watts compiled the results of all the sources. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year time. For all sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or
down.

Admittedly, one harsh winter does not an ice age make. I get that, but after the way Messiah Al deliberately lied about the ‘established Global Warming science’, you’d think that he’d have the stones to man up and face these reports, personally, publically.

He made this ‘the sky is falling' bed with his award-winning whopperthon. Now, when some hard science - those pesky facts - tell a somewhat different story, Messiah Al is cowering in the Fat Cave.

Since he’s lost his voice...since he’s hiding from the truth...since he’s refusing to act like a man about these new inconvenient truths...Messiah Al Gore is the Politically Incorrect Gazette’s Girlieman of the Week.

What A Joyous Day - A Special Birthday Wish!

Neener, neener,

Break out the beer

It’s PIG’s birthday

And we’re still here.

Yep, Politically Incorrect Gazette is celebrating their birthday! Figured I'd give the post a sissy name to attract as many liberals as I could.

Barring a room full of swollen sweater puppies and the Cowboy Cheerleaders wearing Frederick's of Hollywood swinging on a pole - what better present could I give my buddies, who 4yrs ago declared War on Political Correctness, Hambo, Porcus, Spike & the rest of their crew for their birthday than the exploding heads of liberals when they see this post!

With 4 years under their belts the guys over at PIG were "thrilled spitless" when they looked back at their accomplishments for the year. Porcus & Hambo were "shocked..., shocked I tell you," at how their pen of dedicated Pigster's from the PIG Army continued growing and helped spread the inkorrectnik word through all corners of the free world & blogosphere (the electronic arm pit of life).

Though a joyous day for Hambo, Porcus and the crew, this may not be a good day for Korrectnik's. Noting the accomplishments during year 4 of Hambos' PC punishing prose and Porcus' dastardly doodles of the dimwitted dipshit's of the world they are happy, yet unsatisfied. This my friend is not good for ~ San Fran Nan, Dingy Harry Reid, Barack O’Dumbo, Comrade Hillary, Je$$e, Rev. Al, Bubba, News Nitwits, Ethnocrats, Legicrats, Elected Tormentors, Colonistas, Educrats, Tinsel Town Twerps and all the other liberal lemmings ~ but it will be fun for us!

You ask "why" Sparky? Well, I will let the birthday boy's tell you --

What, you ask, do we have to say for ourselves on this glorious day in the PIGdom? We have these fightin’ words from the entire PIG staff:

Neener, Neener, Neener. It's four years later, you Korrectnik bastards, and we're still here. We're just as annoying and in your face as we were on day one. We're not going anywhere, so take your speech codes, special rights, and caterwauling, then stick them where the sun don't shine. Buckle up, Multicultural Sparky, because we're ready, willing and goddamn eager to unleash another year of PIGish abuse on you and everybody else in the victimhood.

We've been taking it easy on you, so far. This year, we plan to kick it up a notch. If you think our PIG Doctrine and Incorrectness 101 are a pain in your butt, get ready to be thrilled spitless.

We began our 4th year in cyberspace with high expectations, but we quickly realized that we’d set the bar much too low. When it comes to dishing it out...when it comes to political inkorrectness on steroids, we reset that ‘outrageous’ bar very high for our 5th year.

In many ways, year 5 will be familiar since it will be the usual mixture of table-pounding outrage, smirky glee over the depths of human stupidity, and our utterly PIGish - tongue firmly in cheek - commentary on what passes for culture on this blue green world.

Year 5 will see us serving up new PIGish delights on geography (in the works), state mottos (ready for prime time), sports (yes, we’re still threatening to deploy this one) and assorted other goodies that are still skulking around inside our PIGish imaginations. More!!!

Happy Birthday to PIG

Baby Killing Barack!

Former PA Senator Rick Santorum had an opinion piece in the Philly Inquirer yesterday. Santorum starts off with two descriptions of candidates. See if you can pick what description goes with what candidate-

• One inspires hope for a brighter, better tomorrow. His rhetoric makes us feel we are, indeed, one nation indivisible - indivisible by ideology or religion, indivisible by race or creed. It is rhetoric of hope and change and possibility. It's inspiring. This candidate can make you just plain feel good to be American.

• The other candidate, by contrast, is one of the Senate's fiercest partisans. This senator reflexively sides with the party's extreme wing. There's no record of working with the other side of the aisle. None. It's basically been my way or the highway, combined with a sanctimoniousness that breeds contempt among those on the other side of any issue.

Now be honest.... what candidate best fits these descriptions? If you guessed anyone OTHER THAN Barack Obama you're wrong!

To show an example of how EXTREMELY liberal Barack Odumbo is, Santorum brings up the "Born-Alive Infants Protection Act."

During the partial-birth abortion debate, Congress heard testimony about babies that had survived attempted late-term abortions. Nurses testified that these preterm living, breathing babies were being thrown into medical waste bins to die or being "terminated" outside the womb. With the baby now completely separated from the mother, it was impossible to argue that the health or life of the mother was in jeopardy by giving her baby appropriate medical treatment.

The act simply prohibited the killing of a baby born alive. To address the concerns of pro-choice lawmakers, the bill included language that said nothing "shall be construed to affirm, deny, expand or contract any legal status or legal right" of the baby. In other words, the bill wasn't intruding on Roe v. Wade.

Who would oppose a bill that said you couldn't kill a baby who was born? Not Kennedy, Boxer or Hillary Rodham Clinton. Not even the hard-core National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL). Obama, however, is another story. The year after the Born Alive Infants Protection Act became federal law in 2002, identical language was considered in a committee of the Illinois Senate. It was defeated with the committee's chairman, Obama, leading the opposition. More....

Some bright future of hope for these babies being tossed away while others their same age are being treated and cared for. Being there for an abortion, I doubt the mothers would want to keep the babies if they are born alive, but that does not justfy or forgive tossing them out like yesterdays trash!

The most disturbing thing about this whole thing to me is Odipshit's ignorance & indifference on the whole issue. According to Day Gardner of the National Black Pro-Life Union (Bold added) --

Aborton is the leading cause of death in Afro-Americans surpassing deaths caused by accidents, heart disease, stroke, crimes, HIV-AIDS and all other deaths – combined!

"Unfortunately, Barack Obama supports the ruthless culture of death – one that includes killing the smallest Americans – too small to flee or fight back." More....

Nader Nuggets

The PD takes time today to rip on recently declared independent candidate for President, Ralph Nader. The PD, a paper only worthy of lining a bird cage, dismisses Nader as a candidate and lumps him together with Dennis Kookcinich.

First I believe the PD is off base by comparing him with Kookcinich. Nader never met with enemies of our country, refused to meet our troops or seen a UFO. While I feel Nader does not have a chance in hell... it is his right to run for Prez, if he so chooses.

As for the issues he will push to bring forth, I doubt either of the dems, Barack Odumbo & Hillahag will give Nader much attention. I believe they will try and ignore issues he brings up in attempts to make him even more inconsequential in the race.

From the PD --

Now he says he's running again. He's not even waiting to see whom the two major parties nominate. Supposedly he wants to talk about issues that aren't on the table, including single-payer health insurance and a swift withdrawal from Iraq. Would it be indelicate to point out that since Nader's agenda reads a lot like Dennis Kucinich's, those issues were on the table, at least through the early rounds of Democratic debates, caucuses and primaries? Those ideas simply didn't find an audience.

Nor is Nader likely to find one as the year goes on. At age 74, he has graduated from curmudgeon to crab. He is likely, once again, to be nothing more than a distraction, a lonely voice threatening to crash this fall's presidential debates and warranting less and less attention the more serious the campaign gets.

OH Judge pushes for Immigration Law

Judge Norbert Nadel from Hamilton County (OH) is fed up with the illegal immigrants coming through his court system and infiltrating into the area. The judge plans on asking Ohio legislators to pass a law punishing employers of these illegal, border-hopping, salsa sucking parasites.

Judge Nadel recently presided over a case about a border-jumping beanhead who was unable to speak english. The defendant, Jose Ortiz, was supplied a county funded translator for his trial. Nadel sentenced this drain on American society to 4 yrs in prison for..... beating the ever living shit of of his 4 yr old daughter. Ortiz was accused of beating, shaking and throwing to the floor his 4-month-old daughter. The child had facial bruises, brain bleeding and broken legs.

From ALIPAC --

“My experience,” the judge added, “is a large majority of them, when they don’t speak English, are illegal.”

That’s resulting in some big dollars coming out of taxpayers’ pockets, he added. Because of the large increase in the number those arrested who don’t speak English – not all of whom are illegal immigrants – Hamilton County has hired six full- and part-time interpreters at an annual cost of more than $250,000.

“We’re spending a lot of money that we never spent before,” Nadel said. Nadel also wants the new law to require police departments and courts to keep track of how many contacts they have with illegal immigrants.

More....
$250,000 sure is a lot of money to be spent on people that shouldn't even be here. Let's hope our tormented electors listen to Judge Nadel and take some action.

Here we sit broken hearted, they taxed us higher and the MedMart is still not started....

With the deadline for the failed MedMart/Convention Center looming, one of our county commissioners is again thinking about doing the right thing. Or better put - trying to "right" a "wrong."

Having originally voted against the forced sales tax increase imposed on the residents of Cuyahoga County to fund the MedMart/CC, Commissioner Peter Lawson Jones has suggested the commissioners' work out a plan to "pay back" the residents if the deal does not go through.

From the PD --

If plans for a new Cleveland convention center and medical mart collapse, what would happen with the pot of sales tax money collected for the project?

One Cuyahoga County commissioner said he's researching the possibility of reimbursing residents through a temporary sales tax reduction or a sales tax holiday.

"I hope for this community's sake that we can reach a deal," Commissioner Peter Lawson Jones said. "But if we can't, we've got to give the money back."

In my opinion, this is truly a first! An elected official in the Cleveland/Cuyahoga County area is being forward thinking when it comes to doing the right thing for residents. More....

The forced sales tax increase to "help" fund the MedMart has collected approx. $3.3 million a month since October which bringing us to a total of about $16 million to date. In collusion with the PD propaganda machine when this "silver bullet" of a plan was forced down our throats by the Cuyahoga County Commissioners we were led to believe - if we didn't act now, we will lose the MedMart! They threatened - somebody else will take it!

Commissioner Mouth - (Taxin' Tim - The Hollywood Husband Hagan), was one of the biggest blowhard's of the bunch on this fleecing of the residents, as he usually is. With his usual arrogance of - "you guy's are dumb - and needs us to think for you" along with his elitist attitude, he helped perpetuate the illusion that the MedMart was a done deal, except for the funding.

Now over 5 months later and several broken deadlines we understand they were never in the same ball park as MMPI, the would be developers of the MedMart/Convention Center. The more that details come out it seems as if the forced sales tax increase was more of a "carrot" for MMPI or "corporate welfare," if you will. There was never an agreed to site, a funding agreement was never made in principle, & MMPI wants profit assurances before the commit to any deal.

Hagan continues blowing smoke out of his mouth and his ass by now spouting tough talk. Hagan, after imposing this sales tax against the wishes of most of the working-class residents, is now acting as if HE is looking out for our best interest. Or is he really trying to save his own ass. I'd bet neither... his record shows he could care a less about Cuyahoga County residents and he is running unopposed this year so I doubt he is trying to save his own ass. I'd say he is trying to save his over inflated ego and the checkbooks of his corporate Cleveland buddies?

With another deadline looming, the deal for the MedMart is no closer today than when this attempt to fleece the residents started. If the MedMart deal with MMPI falls through, which appears to be the case, county officials feel with more time, "other" investors will surface and make their pipe dream a reality.

Once again trying to make the best out of something he disagreed with, Commissioner Jones is clearly seeing reality and preparing for quite possibly the inevitable - the deal won't happen. Being responsible to the residents and honoring the Commissioners previous promise, Commissioner Jones realizes the county, at a minimum, has to act in good faith and have avenues ready to at least try repaying us OUR money from the increased sales tax.

Origins of Liberalism & Conservatism

Throw the history books away kiddies! This handy hunk of history will be sure to clarify any misconceptions on the origins of liberalism and conservatism....

From King's Email --

For those that don't know about history...... here is a condensed version.

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were:

1. The invention of beer, and

2. The invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer.

These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

1. Liberals

2. Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to barbeque at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly barbeques and doing the sewing, fetching, and hairdressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie-men.

Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group t herapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

Over the years Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Here ends today's lesson in world history.......

It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to this post.

A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to piss them off....
