I think I want to vote for George Romney.

"Rumble! A group of off-duty Bellevue police officers surround and taunt a Seattle police officer."

Not just "off-duty Bellevue police officers"...LITTERING off-duty Bellevue police officers. Fuckers.

I'm waiting for Trey Parker and Matt Stone to debut "Muhammad and Friends"

Bellevue police chief Pillo: "in NO WAY does this reflect who we are as an organization"

Sorry, Chief, but yes. Yes it does reflect on who you are as an organization. On duty or off, your officers are representatives of your police force and your city. If the tables were turned and a Seattle resident (cop or not) was caught littering by your officers I suspect they would not give the litterer a pass.

Chief Pillo, do you want to make this better? You report to the media that your officers have been disciplined, and that across the force your officers will receive training to ensure this or another incident doesn't happen again.

@3: I doubt it: Comedy Central will not air any episodes that reference or show Muhammad, and they can not even stream them online legally.

Comedy Central and pretty much all of our media only embrace free speech when it carries no risk or danger. They are cowards with no conviction.

Sold the Sonics and screwed Seattle. He may be the least wealthy, but he's still the most hated of the billionaires.

Try posting that link to the NY Times about Jesus' wife to Facebook. They've deemed it "spammy or unsafe".

Seriously, try it.

We're never going to convince Mitt's father to take responsibility for his life.

Well, Charlie Hebdo is getting the attention they wanted, so good for them. The magazine looks fairly amusing, wish I could read French.

Hope no one gets hurt.
12
I love C Hebdo.

Tres drole.
13
oh, and SPD for the win!

@9: Facebook's spam thing is almost entirely automated, so if a bunch of people try to bury info they don't like by reporting it as spam, it can take a bunch of time and complaining to fix it.
15
If those Bellevue cops were "clearly intoxicated" I wonder if anyone attempted to find out how they were getting back home. Were they driving or taking public transport? Inquiring minds want to know!
17
@7 Corporate Media in general (at the risk of sounding redundant) will air no free speech if it carries risk or danger for it would endanger profit.

We'd hear a lot more about the recklessness of the Bellevue Police Department if it wasn't for the fact that the Eastside lacks the African American and Latino population to have their "fun" with.

Jesus having a wife in other than a beardy way should be no big deal, if all those people mumbling "...born of the Virgin Mary and became man" in the pews on Sunday actually believe what they're saying.

If the whole business of suffering as a man to erase sin is to mean anything, "being a man" includes all of it—human desires and affections and the stinky, leaky, traitorous human body.
19
@18 Oh, please, Jesus was as queer as a three dinaras bill. Just becuase some cult four centuries later says some shit means nothing.
20
@15 probably weaving in and out of traffic, with their seat belts dragging on the road, given they're from Bellevue.
21
@7 and @17
I was just kidding, I doubt seriously they care enough to do it anyway, regardless of legal hoops.
22
@21 Also, they already addressed this years ago in an episode of Southpark where they had Muhammad in a bear suit.

Charlie Hebdo was at the forefront of the fight for gay and gender-role equality way back when. I remember a cover -- or was it a poster or ad in a sister publication? -- from the '70s or '80s with a gay couple at home, one sitting in an armchair reading Charlie Hebdo and the other standing in front of the sink in an apron, doing the dishes. The caption read, "Homosexuals read Charlie Hebdo too!" and the guy doing the dishes was retorting, "More like one in two!" Well, I guess you had to see it...

Can we explore this plague thing more?

The article didn't say, but I'm guessing from my totally expert internet reading that he contracted Septicemic Plague, which again, totally expertly, leads me to believe the mouse may have bit him while he wrangled the cat.

Non unanimous jury convictions, full service gas stations, and now Black Death? Oregon, wtf?

@16

Thank you as always, Mr Doom.

Please wait...
