Shamelessly oxymoronic US health care

Health officials push for more people to get flu shot WASHINGTON — There are plenty of flu shots available this year, and health officials urged Americans on Thursday to roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated — if not for their own sakes, then for the health of their communities. About 85 million doses of [...]

Just [...]

Immunities don’t exist, and of course the government always does a better job at protection

Repeatedly, police and their apologists insist that police are held accountable regularly, and in fact are held to a “higher” standard than ordinary people. This simply isn’t the case, according to the law (and don’t police and their supporters care about the law?) Below are several provisions of the California Government Code, which are relevant [...]

‘You can’t judge cops unless you’ve eaten pancakes with them first’ – George Sand

In response, one reader replied, “They are your neighbors and the person your standing in line with at the grocery store. Educate yourself and get to know them and we can all be on the same page. Have you ever taken a ride along with your local PD? Have you ever went to a pancake breakfast and learned what they talk about? Do you even know one personally? Didn’t think so. You are depending on a story or some third party blurb to make drastic decisions about your viewpoints are without taking the time to form your own opinions with real data imo. I have some of those things planned in the near future to learn about them. I don’t know enough yet to form a valid firm opinion but plan on learning and talking with them.”

Tiananmen Tank Man was disobeying lawful orders and should have been shot- George Sand

by George Sand Tiananmen Square, China, 1989 I don’t understand American admiration of the lone man who stood in the path of a tank in the Tiananmen Square incident in 1989 – that is, unless you are a police-hating American. If you are an American who hates, dislikes, or mistrusts police or outright advocates the [...]

A Noble Lie: a review of David Ray Griffin’s book “Cognitive Infiltration”

I had great fun reading David Ray Griffin’s Cognitive Infiltration: An Obama  Appointee’s Plan to Undermine the 9/11 Conspiracy Theory. Brilliant and funny, this artful explication of Constitutional law scholar Cass Sunstein’s essay, “Conspiracy Theories,” conveys important legal points while treating readers to enjoyable satire. As several talented reviewers have noted, many public figures, including Associate [...]

We at the Swill Bucket look forward to [...]

George Sand: Rick Santorum is a sociopath

“Rick Santorum is one of many vile politicians. Politicians are some of the most disgusting, vile trash of society. They are self-entitled, yet undeserving overlords who masquerade as public servants. They make laws that kill people because they are fully aware, whether consciously or otherwise, that when it comes down to it, they will always [...]
