You know that story about how rapists and child molesters aren’t treated very well by prisoners? Sounds like there might be some truth to it:
The notorious siblings were heckled by fellow inmates at the Central Prison Unit at Cleveland Police Headquarters.
One prisoner, after his release Wednesday, said Ariel Castro was the target of ceaseless vitriol from other inmates.
“They were screaming at him all night,” said the 20-year-old ex-prisoner. “He was just laying there, taking it. They were saying, ‘Don’t feed that rapist! He doesn’t deserve any respect!’ ”
I always thought that was hyperbole. It sounds like this guy might have to be in his own part of whatever prison he ends up at.

Hill Dweller
@Another Halocene Human: PEW has new polling which shows congressional Republicans with approval ratings in the 20’s. But on the question of who is best for the economy, Republicans lead Dems by a couple of points. The Republicans have no solutions for the problems facing this country, but people still support them.
We are the most ignorant country in human history.
I find this amusing and alarming at the same time. And, as an Air Force vet, unfortunate.

@Hill Dweller: That’s depressing. Actually, they have a “solution”: make the depression worse. It made things very cozy for the ultra-wealthy during the 1930s. “Things” were cheap and so were people. The good old days.
What I don’t understand are the clowns who fall for it. White supremacists, sure, they have their own mental disease. But why do so many white folks who are not deeply emotionally invested in that sort of nonsense fall for Republican policy claptrap that picks their own pockets? Like how dumb are you not to catch on that the “job creating” tax breaks lead in a direct line to those increased, crushing taxes on YOU?

Btw, caught the end of the Premier League match and unless that was a rerun, Chelsea tied Tottingham, so the way some people on this blog were talking, sounds like some bookies got paid by BJers tonight.
“Hey, Lurlene, here come those dang snails again! Walk on down to the general store and bring back some rock salt for my 12 gauge! Oh, and some more beer!”
Sanford ran a campaign attacking Obama for the deficit, despite the fact the deficit is shrinking at the fastest rate since WWII. He should have been laughed out of the room, but people bought it.
The Republicans are a radical party. They’ve become the modern day John Birch Society. But people don’t know their behavior is way outside modern political norms, because the hacks in the Village refuse to say it publicly.
I can’t wait until one of my friend’s kids start asking how mommy and daddy met. At what age do you think the kids will realize that “introduced by their friend Molly” had another meaning. (Edited for clarity)
G really, really wants me to go on Friday, so I probably will. I suspect he just wants me out of the house so he can get caught up on “Boardwalk Empire.”
@Hill Dweller: It’s that special Knee-Grow deficit, much worse than normal, eat the seed corn GOP deficits.
Oddly, to your point, Chris Matthews was calling out the intensification of right wing extremism tonight in the midst of his self-congratulatory mushy middle thoughtful, serious centrist wankfest. (He did this after playing a clip of Gleck Beck at NRA-Con-2013.) Of course, he thinks he’s the first person ever to notice what extremists these people are. But yeah, the rhetoric has gotten way, waaaaaay worse in my lifetime. And sadly, after a while I think we all just kind of get used to it.
My wing nut Facebook friend just put up a post about impeaching Obama. Doesn’t say for what but I’m guessing in ben-gaaah-zzzzz!!!! Trying to decide if replying is worth it.

What, are you still here? I thought I told you to go fuck your mother.
@Hill Dweller: “Deficit” doesn’t mean the deficit, it means goodies for negroes. That’s why it’s always going to be talked about as a serious problem. “Deficit” and “welfare” are synonyms.
@FlipYrWhig: Add “entitlements” to the list of synonyms. It is funny to see Republicans coming out against Obama’s chained CPI proposal as an assualt on the elderly after spending months (if not years) complaining that entitlement spending is out of control.
@MattR: But of course. “Entitlements” go to Those People, who act all entitled and sit on their butts waiting for a handout. Not like the rest of us. We earned it.
@FlipYrWhig: @Omnes Omnibus: Unless, of course, we didn’t earn it. But in that case we had a good reason that prevented us from doing so. So we still deserve it.
@Omnes Omnibus: The thing about guys like us is, even when we need help, it’s not like we make a lifestyle out of it or nothing. Like Craig T. Nelson said.

Cole, I have been reading this site forever, and never once have I posted. Yesterday, the day you posted your potent message, the message that made me finally finally post a comment of my own, was my fucking birthday. You fuck you-d my birthday, Cole. You fuck-you-d it right in the face. Oh I’m sure other things were happening that prompted that post of power, yes. But the only thing happening at me all day long yesterday was birthday-ness. And all day long I was saying to myself, fuck you age, fuck birthdays, this bites. And then, as if the universe had heard my crankiness and chosen to respond in kind, there you were, all fuck-you-y. On my birthday. TO my birthday. Beautiful.

@Omnes Omnibus: no, no, it’s all a matter of attitude. You earn things by work. Hard work. Like with trucks. Well, trucks that you drive to the insurance office, but, still, if you needed to, you could put 2x4s in there. You act entitled to things by being lazy. That’s why the country is in this mess.

Cole, I have been reading this site forever, and never once have I posted. Yesterday, the day you posted your potent message, the message that made me finally finally post a comment of my own, was my fucking birthday. You fuck you-d my birthday, Cole. You fuck-you-d it right in the face. Oh I’m sure other things were happening that prompted that post of power, yes. But the only thing happening at me all day long yesterday was birthday-ness. And all day long I was saying to myself, fuck you age, fuck birthdays, this bites. And then, as if the universe had heard my crankiness and chosen to respond in kind, there you were, all fuck-you-y. On my birthday. TO my birthday. Beautiful.

So John is reverting to Republicanism, I see.
