Racist California Bill: SB 185

SB 185 has passed the senate and the assembly, and is awaiting review by Governor Brown. If passed, the bill will allow the University of California to use race as a factor in making admissions decisions.

Pro-affirmative action folks can talk about 'leveling the playing field' all they want, but at the end of the day, they are endorsing a program that makes decisions about people based on skin color. What sort of example are we setting for our children? "Oh, Johny. It's okay to judge people by their skin color, but only sometimes." Is that what we want in our society?

I say 'no' - and so did California voters in 1996 when we voted yes on Proposition 209, which prohibited public institutions from using race, sex, or ethnicity in making admissions decisions.

May Allah Bless Ahmadinejad

Ahmadinejad has been pissing off Westerners for years now. He never fails to bring his A game. And this year was no exception. At the U.N. meeting in New York, he said, "[Westerners] still use the Holocaust after six decades as the excuse to pay [a] fine or ransom to the Zionists."

Now how did our respectable American delegates respond? They led a 'walk out.' What a bunch of pussies. What are they, kindergartners? I expect this shit from the women on 'The View,' but not from U.S. delegates - despite the fact that they've done this before.

And this, my friends, is what is wrong with America. We simply cannot handle different points of view. We like to hear the same thing over and over again. You turn on CNN and watch a segment. Then you re-watch that segment on NBC. They you re-watch (albeit with a bit of humor added) on Colbert and Stewart. Then you read the same information on Yahoo news. It's all the same shit, just different packaging.

When someone, like Ahmadinejad, presents a point of view that is different, American people pee their pants and run. They simply can't handle the fact that different points of view exist.

I happen to believe that Ahmadinejad's rants are not based on facts, but that doesn't mean I won't listen to them. Whether Americans like it or not, he is a significant political force in this world. And as civilized individuals, we are obligated, at the very least, to hear his perspective. If we dislike it, we are welcome to dispute it and respond with facts.

But we should not, unless lives are threatened, walk out. This makes the U.S. appear both aloof and pretentious. Do really want to present this image to the world? We should be a nation that is open to discussion, not a nation with delegates that believe they are on a playground.

And this is why I say, "May Allah bless Ahmadinejad."

In honor of Ahmadinejad, I will translate my post into both Persian and Arabic. Enjoy.

In Farsi:

سلام خوانندگان فریس. امروز من نوشتن در مورد سخنرانی Ahmadjine از چشم انداز آمریکایی است. ببخشید فارسی. من با استفاده از مترجم است.

احمدی نژاد ، pissing خاموش غربی برای سال ها در حال حاضر است. او با شکست مواجه هرگز یک بازی آوردن او. و این سال از این قاعده مستثنی بود. در نشست سازمان ملل متحد در نیویورک ، او گفت ، "[غربی ها] هنوز هم استفاده از هولوکاست پس از شش دهه به عنوان بهانه ای برای پرداخت [A] جریمه یا باج به صهیونیست ها است."

در حال حاضر چگونه احترام ما ایالات متحده آمریکا پاسخ می دهند؟ آنها به رهبری "راه رفتن خارج. یک دسته از pussies. آنها kindergartners چه هستند؟ من انتظار دارم این گه از زنان "مشاهده ، اما نه از دیپلمات های ایالات متحده -- با وجود این واقعیت است که این سومین بار است که آنها آن را انجام داده است.

و این ، دوستان من ، آن چیزی است که اشتباه است با امریکا است. ما به سادگی می توانید نقاط مختلف از نظر تحمل کنم. ما مایل به شنیدن همان چیزی که بارها و بارها. شما در سی ان ان را روشن و به تماشای بخش. سپس شما دوباره به تماشای آن بخش بر روی NBC. آنها به شما دوباره دیده بان (البته با کمی طنز) در مورد میشل و استوارت. سپس همان اطلاعاتی اخبار یاهو را بخوانید. این همه گه همان ، فقط بسته بندی های مختلف.

وقتی کسی مانند احمدینژاد ، ارائه نقطه نظر که متفاوت است ، مردم آمریکا توالت شلوار خود را و اجرا. آنها به سادگی می توانید این واقعیت است که نقاط مختلف وجود دارد را تحمل کنم.

من اتفاق می افتد به این باور است که مطالب احمدی نژاد در حقایق نه بر اساس ، اما این بدان معنا نیست من نمی خواهد به آن گوش دهید. این که آیا آمریکایی ها آن را دوست دارم یا نه ، او یک نیروی سیاسی قابل توجهی در این جهان است. و ما به عنوان افراد متمدن هستند ، موظف حداقل بسیار ، به شنیدن دیدگاه خود را. اگر ما آن را دوست نداشتن ، ما به آن اختلافات و پاسخ با واقعیت که شک در چشم انداز خود را کاربر به سایر نظرسنجی هستند.

اما باید ، نه مگر زندگی تهدید هستند ، راه رفتن خارج. این باعث می شود ایالات متحده به نظر می رسد هر دو دور و پرمدعا. آیا واقعا این تصویر را به جهان ارائه می خواهم؟ ما باید یک ملت است که باز است به بحث و گفتگو ، ملت با نمایندگان که بر این باورند که در یک زمین بازی است.

In Arabic:

قراء العربية مرحبا. اليوم سوف أكون في الكتابة عن خطاب Ahmadjine
العربية. أنا باستخدام مترجم.

من منظور أميركي. عذر

العربية. أنا باستخدام مترجم.

وكان أحمدي نجاد التبول قبالة الغربيين لسنوات حتى الآن. لم يسبق له ان يفشل لجلب له لعبة. وكان هذا العام ليس استثناء. في اجتماع للامم المتحدة في نيويورك ، قال : "[الغربيين] لا يزال استخدام المحرقة بعد ستة عقود من الزمن باعتباره ذريعة لدفع [أ] غرامة أو فدية للصهاينة".

الآن كيف لنا محترمة الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية ترد على ذلك؟ قاد قاموا سيرا على الأقدام من أصل ". ما حفنة من الهرات. ما هي ، الروضة؟ أتوقع هذا القرف من النساء في "عرض و،' ولكن ليس من الدبلوماسيين الأمريكيين -- على الرغم من حقيقة أن هذه هي المرة الثالثة فعلوه به.

وهذا ، يا أصدقائي ، ما هو الخطأ مع أميركا. اننا ببساطة لا يمكن التعامل مع وجهات نظر مختلفة. نود أن نسمع الشيء نفسه مرارا وتكرارا. تشغيل شبكة CNN ووتش قطعة. ثم قمت بإعادة مشاهدة هذا الجزء على ان بي سي. انهم يجب إعادة مشاهدة (ولو مع شيء من الدعابة المضافة) على كولبير وستيوارت. ثم تقرأ المعلومات نفسها على أخبار ياهو. كل شيء في نفسه القرف والتعبئة فقط مختلفة.

عندما يقوم شخص مثل أحمدي نجاد ، ويعرض وجهة نظر تختلف ، الشعب الأميركي بول سراويلهم وتشغيل. انهم ببساطة لا يمكن التعامل مع حقيقة أن وجهات نظر مختلفة موجودة.

أنا أعتقد أن يحدث لولا تستند الصاخبة أحمدي نجاد على الحقائق ، ولكن هذا لا يعني أنني لن يستمع إليه. إذا كان الأميركيون شئنا أم أبينا ، هو قوة سياسية مهمة في هذا العالم. وكأفراد حضارية ملزمة لنا ، على الأقل ، للاستماع إلى وجهة نظره. إذا كنا لا يروق لك ، ونحن مدعوون الى أن النزاع والاستجابة مع الحقائق وألقى بظلال من الشك على وجهة نظره.

ولكن لا ينبغي لنا ، إلا إذا هددت الأرواح والخروج. وهذا يجعل الولايات المتحدة تبدو منعزلة والجوفاء على حد سواء. هل نريد حقا لتقديم هذه الصورة للعالم؟ ينبغي لنا أن نكون أمة مفتوحة لمناقشة وليس لأمة مع المندوبين الذين يعتقدون أنهم على الملعب.

وهذا هو السبب أقول "الله يبارك أحمدي نجاد."

Man Dies After Eating Contest

A 77-year-old Ukrainian man died after winning a dumpling eating contest. That's not the surprising part. The surprising part is that the reward for winning the contest was a jar of sour cream.

New York City Cops Dirty Dancing

A video of some New York City cops dirty dancing has surfaced on the web. Apparently they just got caught up in the moment at a West Indian parade - this is according to the mayor and their chief. Others think they are just horny. The cops have not been suspended, but they are under investigation.

I'd like to see what they think of my booty.

Russian Guy Gropes 2,000 Boobs in a Few Days

You read correctly. myducksvision, a Russian youtuber, posted a video of himself touching the breasts of 1,000 different women. All of the women consented. How did he do it?

Well, good ole Liz knows how. He simply offered them sexual favors. Now I know some of my 1.2 million readers might be confused, so I shall clarify. myducksvision offered sexual favors in exchange for sexual favors. Look, it's a perfect exchange. You can't get a simpler transaction. I don't know why no one has realized it. There are even instances in the video in which the females grab myducksvision's breasts.

Aren't I a doll for sharing such insightful thoughts with my followers?

First Day of Law School

I've started law school. Today was my first day. It was fairly interesting. I have a feeling the course work is going to be pretty tedious though. :(

I SHALL KEEP ALL OF YOU POSTED.

Gibson Guitar Company Raided

The U.S. government has once again made it difficult to do business in the U.S. This time they raided an American company over unfounded accusations of violations of an archaic law. You'd think after years of choking on the country's debt the government would want to be more friendly toward domestic businesses. But no. They want to raid them with armed men.

In this specific instance, the feds raided two Gibson factories in Tennessee. The claim is that Gibson violated the Lacey Act, an early 20th century act, signed by President McKinley, that prohibits the trade of goods that were taken illegally from their country of origin. In the case of Gibson, the allegations are that some of their wood was exported from Indian prior to being finished by Indian workers.

I can think of hundreds of rational ways to deal with the allegations, but none of them include raiding the factory with armed men and confiscating the raw materials. The fed's actions rash actions cast undeserved doubt on one of America's most iconic companies and damage the international opinion of American products.

Good job, federal government - you masochistic bastard.

What Is Labor Day?

Everyone has wondered this at some point in their life. I tend to wonder it most when I find myself working on Labor Day. Luckily for you, my lovely readers, your darling Liz has the answer to your Labor Day questions.

To start things off, Labor Day is observed on the first Monday of every September. It was first observed on September 5th in 1882 by the Central Labor Union of New York. It was made an official holiday by President Cleveland in in 1894. Unfortunately this was not an act of generosity. It was a political move to reestablish Cleveland's ties with the labor movement after U.S. Marshals killed laborers during the rowdy Pullman Strike.

And there you have it. So this Labor Day, spend the day thinking about U.S. Marshals killing protestors and selfish presidents making political moves. Hey, I'll toast to that.

Fast and...Furiously Stupid

"Fast and Furious" - the name of an operation orchestrated by the ATF to help them build a case against Mexican cartels. During the operation, they let cartels get their hands on thousands of tactical guns (e.g. .50 cal sniper rifles) through straw purchases.

Of course the plan fell apart. The BATF lost track of a huge number of the guns. And they didn't end up making any strides against the cartels. In fact, all that really happened is the cartels became more armed. They even shot down a helicopter with the arms, and killed a border patrol agent, Brian Terry.

So basically, American tax dollars directly funded the cartels' violence. Brilliant. And there are actually people for increasing federal taxes?

Thankfully, some of the people behind the operation are paying for their idiocy. For instance, Dennis K. Burke, a U.S. attorney, and Ken Melson, ATF director, have resigned.

Here's the genius behind the operation:
