KK's Korner

Oh for fuck’s sake.

Last week we saw a Florida Pastor – with 30 members in his church – threaten to burn Korans which lead to riots and killings in Afghanistan. We also saw Democrats and Republicans alike assume that Pastor Jones had a Constitutional right to burn those Korans. But Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer told me on “GMA” that he’s not prepared to conclude that — in the internet age — the First Amendment condones Koran burning.

“Holmes said it doesn’t mean you can shout ‘fire’ in a crowded theater,” Breyer told me. “Well, what is it? Why? Because people will be trampled to death. And what is the crowded theater today? What is the being trampled to death?”

And burning a U.S. flag isn’t the same thing? In fact, unless you were in San Francisco or a college/university, I’d wager that burning a U.S. flag on U.S. soil would be more like yelling “fire” in a crowded theater than burning a Koran. Nice try, shitdick.

I guess I might as well talk about the whole “Koran” burning story that took place last week.

What a bunch of nothing.

A few dozen Florida rednecks said they were going to burn a Koran on September 11 and it makes worldwide headlines with even the Kenyan Koffee Fetcher commenting on the issue. This wasn’t that big a story. The best way to deal with a skinhead rally at City Hall is to just ignore them the morning they want to get all “white power” on the Capitol steps. All this media coverage just fanned the flames of these dopes. (Pun intended.)

It’s too bad this group didn’t submerge a Koran in a jar of urine or plaste a picture of Muhammad with elephant poop. That way they could have been eligible for a National Endowment for the Arts grant.

I’m sure glad to know that my tax dollars are going to fund this government school that shows this kinda smut to the children in my region.

No, seriously. I’m glad. This is funny as hell.

Norwin High School seniors who were expecting a presentation from a Central Blood Bank rep got a surprise Friday when they saw pornography instead.

Channel 4 Action News’ Bob Mayo reported that the Norwin School District sent parents a letter. It said “a few pornographic pictures that were on the representative’s flash drive were briefly viewed” while preparations were being made to show the students a PowerPoint presentation.

“It was hardcore male pornography that was put up on the screen when the flash drive was put in. They tell me it lasted about 30 seconds, which is a long time,” said attorney Peter J. Payne, who has been hired by parents of several students who attended the presentation.

Payne said he will be pursuing some form of civil action against Central Blood Bank.

“The parents are outraged. Every parent that I’ve talked to is very concerned. We’re still talking about the senior class, but these kids are 17, 18-years-old at the most,” said Payne.

“Civil action.” For real? Do I even need to mention that these students have probably seen more forms of Internet porn than me? But I digress.

Student Ethan Dobranski described the sexually explicit images as “frontal male nudity, and there was one with, like, two people in there, but it was, like, from the back.”

“That’s what popped up, but I don’t think he realized that was on there at the time, and he was truly embarrassed for what happened,” student Dan Jones said. “He was just shocked. He, like, put his hand on the stage and covered his head. He was so ashamed of himself for having that.”

“He just looked like a deer in the headlights,” student Zach Hutchins said. “I don’t think he realized what was on there. It was shock. He was kind of ashamed too.”

The school district’s letter called the incident “inexcusable” and said the North Huntingdon Police Department and the Westmoreland County District Attorney’s office have been contacted for an investigation.

A separate letter from the Central Blood Bank said that the person who visited Norwin has been suspended.

The blood bank’s letter identified the person only as “an employee” and said that the person had not followed procedure while setting up the presentation.

“Per organizational policy, employees are not allowed to use flash drives and are required to review their presentations in advance with their supervisor; in this situation, the employee ignored these policies,” the blood bank’s letter said.

This was such a “BIG STORY,” it made one of the lead stories for the local television news stations. There was even at least one reporter standing outside of the school.

Oh, and to deepen my roots in this story, I was also a intern in Central Blood Bank’s communications department back in 1997. In fact, I was manning a promotional booth at a local water park for this place when I first met the future Mrs. kkk.

So I just heard the Kenyan Koffee Fetcher say the following on a radio show: “The economy right now is like a patient that got hit by a Mack truck and has been convalescing. It can’t run yet, but it’s walking,”

Yeah, and now it’s receiving government health care.

So Facebook users are “narcissistic.” I’m sure as hell not narcissistic, though I have every right to be.

Using Facebook is the online equivalent of staring at yourself in the mirror, according to a study.

That’s funny, considering I don’t look at myself in the mirror. Seriously, I don’t. I hate looking at myself so I just don’t bother.

Those who spent more time updating their profile on the social networking site were more likely to be narcissists, said researchers.

Facebook provides an ideal setting for narcissists to monitor their appearance and how many ‘friends’ they have, the study said, as it allows them to thrive on ‘shallow’ relationships while avoiding genuine warmth and empathy.

Oh hell, I avoided genuine warmth and empathy long before I learned of the ol’ FB.

They also tend to use the site for promoting themselves to friends or people they would like to meet, the study concluded.

Well no shit. It’s a social networking site.

Researcher Soraya Mehdizadeh from York University in Canada asked 100 students, 50 male and 50 female, aged between 18 and 25 about their Facebook habits.

ONE-HUNDRED students? Now that’s a sizable study sample. What’s the margin of error — 20 percent?

They all took psychology tests to measure their levels of narcissism, which the study defined as ‘a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and an exaggerated sense of self-importance’.

Those who scored higher on the narcissism test checked their Facebook pages more often each day than those who did not.

There was also a difference between men and women – men generally promoted themselves by written posts on their Facebook page while women tended to carefully select the pictures in their profile.

OK, I may find some common ground with this one. There are some people who change their Facebook profiles/photos more often than I change my underwear.

The findings, published in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behaviour And Social Networking, also suggested that those with low self-esteem also checked their Facebook pages more regularly than normal.

This may not be altogether surprising as it is widely thought, however contradictory it may appear, that narcissism is linked to a deep-rooted lack of self-esteem.

Miss Mehdizadeh admitted that not everyone would appreciate her findings.

She said: ‘I think people get sort of defensive about it – like, “I don’t use my Facebook for that reason” – because it’s a label that you don’t want to be slapped with.’

I happily admit I mess around on Facebook more than I probably should. It’s an excellent escape at work when I need to take a quick break from going insane. Actually, I use my status updates as a springboard into my posts at KK’s Korner. I post a quick thought on Facebook or Twitter and remember to write about that subject in more detail when I’m home. Not sure where this falls in the above-mentioned study, but that’s how I roll.

People thought they had a chance with Publishers Clearning House? LOL.

A multistate investigation led by Oregon into whether Publishers Clearing House misled consumers about the chances of winning its sweepstakes has been settled for $3.5 million.

Oregon Attorney General John Kroger said the settlement filed Thursday in Salem requires Publishers Clearing House to boost efforts to inform consumers that making a purchase does not increase their chances of winning.

Kroger said the company, which acknowledged no wrongdoing, also must hire an ombudsman to review mailings to ensure compliance with the settlement.

Thirty-one other states and the District of Columbia are also part of the settlement.

I remember watching Super Bowl XXX with my mom and grandma when a Publishers Clearing House ad got aired. The ad was supposedly a live shot of the Clearing House gang going to someone’s house to hand them a really big check. I turned to my mom and said, “Who actually thinks this is real?” Turns out the reason grandma was with us was because she was asked by Publishers Clearing House to let them know where she was going to be during the Super Bowl when the prize was to be delivered. Then again, this is the same grandma who always played the lottery and often called my mom telling her that she needed a ride out of state because she won some contest.

Old people.

And I’m moving closer to the front of this line with every passing year. I think when I get to be that age I’m just going to shun all phone calls and emails. Pft. Like I don’t do this already.

I guess next time this guy gets threatened he should call the ACLU.

He was arrested for protecting his property and family.

But it’s how the Long Island man did it that police say crossed the line.

He got an AK-47 assault rifle, pulled the trigger and he ended up in jail, reports CBS 2’s Pablo Guzman.

George Grier said he had to use his rifle on Sunday night to stop what he thought was going to be an invasion of his Uniondale home by a gang he thought might have been the vicious “MS-13.” He said the whole deal happened as he was about to drive his cousin home.

“I went around and went into the house, ran upstairs and told my wife to call the police. I get the gun and I go outside and I come into the doorway and now, by this time, they are in the driveway, back here near the house. I tell them, you know, ‘Can you please leave?’ Grier said.

Grier said the five men dared him to use the gun; and that their shouts brought another larger group of gang members in front of his house.

“He starts threatening my family, my life. ‘Oh you’re dead. I’m gonna kill your family and your babies. You’re dead.’ So when he says that, 20 others guys come rushing around the corner. And so I fired four warning shots into the grass,” Grier said.

Grier was later arrested. John Lewis is Grier’s attorney.

“What he’s initially charged with – A D felony reckless endangerment — requires a depraved indifference to human life, creating a risk that someone’s going to die. Shooting into a lawn doesn’t create a risk of anybody dying,” Lewis said.

“Indifference to human life.” Where was he — at an abortion clinic?

OK, I’ll just go with “Well weren’t the people who said they were going to kill his family showing an indifference to human life?” Doesn’t quite have the same zing.

But here’s what got me gong “huh?”

Grier said he knew Nassau County Police employ the hi-tech “ShotSpotter” technology in his area and that the shooting would bring police in minutes. Cops told Guzman he was very cooperative.

Woozers.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering what the heck was up with my headline, here you go. Little devils don’t go to heaven.

How could we talk about you like a dog? I’m sure the First Dog Bo has all his papers in order.

Casual in brown slacks and open-collar white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, the Kenyan Koffee Fetcher took a populist tack in his speech, mixing attacks on Republicans with praise for working-class and middle-class Americans.

He said he’d “keep fighting, every single day, every single hour, every single minute to turn this economy around.” He said interest groups he has battled “talk about me like a dog.”

Every single day/hour/minute. Good Christ Allah.

And leave it to Drudge to post the following earlier today.

Someone got hurt during an abortion.

Uhhhhh…

Maryland health officials have ordered two doctors to stop performing abortions after a woman was critically injured during a procedure last month.

The state Board of Physicians ordered Dr. Steven Brigham to stop practicing medicine without a license in Maryland and suspended the license of Dr. Nicola Riley. Police raided one of Brigham’s offices in Elkton looking for medical records, and found dozens of late-term fetuses in a freezer at a clinic.

The Kenyan Koffee Fetcher is right. We will be moving in the “right direction” soon enough.

President Hussein said on Friday he would outline new measures next week to boost the U.S. economy, but analysts were skeptical he would be able to deliver a big enough package to lift growth significantly.

The Muslim Wookie Fucker made his remarks after August data showed that jobs — the central issue in November congressional elections — were being created too slowly.

The White House is under pressure to show tangible results in lifting growth and hiring before the Nov. 2 election, when Osama’s Democrats face punishment from voters anxious about near double-digit unemployment.

“I will be addressing a broader package of ideas next week,” Kenya’s Favorite Son told reporters in the White House Rose Garden.

“We are confident that we are moving in the right direction. But we want to keep this recovery moving stronger and accelerate the job growth that is needed so desperately all across the country.”

Please don’t confuse this with any overwhelming enthusiasm of Republicans taking control of Congress. Shit, I’d be content to just have the Democrat majorities trimmed down. Why? Because if there’s a GOP “takeover” this year, I would all but be certain that America’s Top Imam would get a second term. The Non-Dialect Negro still might four more years even if Democrats still control Congress after November, but I’m afraid if it’s a GOP Congress and a Muslim Presidency then the dumbmasses will be content with this separation of Party powers post-2012. I don’t really give a shit if the Republicans are in the majority after the upcoming mid-term elections; it’s not like Hussein Health Care is going to get axed or that government spending will be curbed.

However, it will be funny to see a 50-50 split in the Senate and see how willing the Democrats would be to “power sharing,” which is something they whined like bitches about back in 2000 when the Senate was evenly divided with a Republican vice president casting any tie-breaking votes. I would also find great hilarity with all the Internet comments bitching about any shift in Congress that prevents the Bolshevik Barbie from continuing her role as House Speaker.

Hmmm, I may be changing my previous stance on this topic…
