Atomic Nerds

With the democratic nomination all clinched up, everybody of course must weigh in on the issue. My opinion: screw ‘em both, I wouldn’t trust either one further than I could spit upwind in a hurricane. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s take a look at a little something that seems to be flying under the radar.

DC Police are going to seal off neighborhoods.
Papers and a good reason will be required for entrance.

What. The. Fucking. Fuck.
I don’t want to sound overly juvenile here, but I think in this case, the most appropriate response is to leave all your ID at home, and when asked what business you have in a blocked-off neighborhood simply stare the officer dead in the face and invoke that most utilitarian of phrases: “Your momma.”

I’m not sure who exactly explained how the “freedom” concept we more or less have in this country works to the DC Attempted Law Enforcement, but whoever it is has truly earned the title of Epic Failure. I wish I could come up with more vitrol and outrage over this travesty, but riding so near on the heels of the “voluntary” warrantless home invasions drug searches, I can’t come up with much. You’ve done it, DC Attempted Law Enforcement, you’ve burned out my outrage supply with such brazen acts of outright undisguised unabashed efforts to transform an already disenfranchised populace (which may with some large measure of luck get a right to arms back soon, at least on paper) into an openly acknowledged police state.

This is fucking embarassing. Washington D.C. is the capital of our entire nation, the city to which we look to hold up our highest values and ideals, to serve as an example of what is right and good with our way of life. Instead of a shining beacon of liberty and freedom, we find a disarmed cesspit of crime wherein the wealthy and powerful do whatever they damn well please and the police demand your papers before letting you go home in the evening.

I wonder, should we put the deck chairs over by the port railing? There’s a much better view of the iceberg from over there.

Update: Well my outrage has been right and properly owned. Go read. That’s the pissed off I wanted to bring to the table.
