A PLUCKY CANADIAN 12-YEAR-OLD WAS SILENCED BY SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR WRITING A HUMOROUS SPEECH ABOUT HOW BORED HE WAS IN FRENCH CLASS. Gianmarco Trimboli's father is livid that his son wasn't allowed to deliver his speech in front of his class, ACCORDING TO THE MISSISAGUA NEWS. HIS PRINCIPAL THOUGHT IT WOULD BE DISRESPECTFUL TO THE FRENCH TEACHER IF THE BOY -- WHO WON LAST YEAR'S SCHOOL SPEECH CONTEST -- READ IT OUT LOUD. DUDE, YOU SHOULD TOTALLY SUBMIT THAT TO THE RANT SECTION AT POORMOJO.ORG. POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE CONTRIBUTOR JIM'S COMMENT: Teaching lesson 1: Give a twelve year-old an inch and a vector on your position and that's an inch's running start.

YESTERDAY WE COVERED PAKISTAN'S ANNUAL KITE-STRING MASSACRE, IN WHICH DOZENS ARE MAIMED AND MURDERED BY STRAY BULLETS, SHARPENED KITE STRING AND FALLING OFF ROOFS AT A SPRING KITE FLYING FESTIVAL. JIM ONCE AGAIN ENLIGHTENS US WITH A LINK TO The American Kitefliers Association' PUBLICATION: "Flying Basics for Fighter Kites". CATCH THE PDF AT THE NEWSWIRE. JIM SAYS: You'll notice that the AKA doesn't recommend the use of dor (though I'm not sure if that's what it's called in Pakistan), or "glass-encrusted, sharp, stretched cotton kite line."
I've gotten to fly these kites a couple of times, and believe me... once you start to get the hang of it it's incredibly engrossing and fun, to the point that I can see how you might not notice if you accidentally beheaded a couple of kids downfield. Not sure how bullets entered the equation... but still.
Why would a newspaper in San Fransisco called AsianWEEK run an article by an avowed Asian Supremecist entitled "I Hate Blacks?" I guess it's refreshing to let a complete asshole be a complete asshole in print once in a while, and a nice slap in our complacent, 21st-Century faces to see such bald-faced, completely honest racism. Sickening, but perhaps necessary. FROM THE S-F GATE DOT COM ARTICLE: THE 20-YEAR-OLD COLUMNIST'S REASONS FOR HATING BLACK PEOPLE INCLUDE: "
-- "Blacks hate us. Every Asian who has ever come across them knows that they take almost every opportunity to hurl racist remarks at us."
-- "Contrary to media depictions, I would argue that blacks are weak-willed. They are the only race that has been enslaved for 300 years."
-- "Blacks are easy to coerce. This is proven by the fact that so many of them, including the Rev. Al Sharpton, tend to be Christians."
I'm praying for this complete asshole. May he find inner peace, or a deep hole to crawl into. Or both.
THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!
IF YOU EVER IN YOUR LIFE PAID THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF ATTENTION TO COLLECTABLES, YOU KNOW WHO HONUS WAGNER WAS. HE WAS THE PITTSFIELD PIRATES SHORTSTOP WHO HATED TOBACCO AND ENDED UP ON A TOBACCO CARD, A PRECURSOR TO BUBBLE-GUM CARDS, IN 1909. ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THE CARD IN EXISTENCE -- THERE ARE ONLY 60 -- JUST SOLD FOR TWO POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS. FROM THE PITTSBURGH-TRIBINE-REVIEW ARTICLE, VIA RAW STORY: The seller, Brian Seigel, said the Wagner cards are so rare that even tattered ones will sell for hundreds of thousands of dollarS. "you could [them] stick in middle of the street and let cars drive over it through the day, take it in your hand and crumple it up, and it still would be a $100,000 card,
THE U-S ATTORNEY FIRING SCANDAL HAS REACHED THE NEW YORK TIMES OPINION PAGES. ADAM COHEN SAYS: It is hard to call what’s happening anything other than a political purge. The Bush administration cleared the way for these personnel changes by slipping a little-noticed provision into the Patriot Act last year that allows the president to appoint interim U.S. attorneys for an indefinite period without Senate confirmation.
U.S. attorneys have enormous power. Their decision to investigate or indict can bankrupt a business or destroy a life. They must be, and long have been, insulated from political pressures. Although appointed by the president, once in office they are almost never asked to leave until a new president is elected.
The Congressional Research Service has confirmed how unprecedented these firings are. It found that of 486 U.S. attorneys confirmed since 1981, perhaps no more than three U-S ATTORNEYS were forced out in similar ways — three in 25 years, compared with seven in recent months.
It is not just the large numbers. The firing of H. E. Cummins III is raising many questions. he was forced out to make room for J. Timothy Griffin, a former Karl Rove deputy with thin legal experience who did opposition research for the Republican National Committee.
ADAM DOES A PRETTY GOOD JOB, BUT OVERLOOKS ONE IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF U-S ATTORNEYS. THEY PROSECUTE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION. ANY WONDER BUSH IS SWITCHING OUT GOOD PROSECUTORS FOR HIS DRONES?

IF YOU LIVED THROUGH IRAN/CONTRA IN THE 1980S, YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER JOHN NEGROPONTE. HE WAS AMBASSADOR TO HONDOURAS WHILE THE SECRET GOVERNMENT IN THE BASEMENT OF THE WHITE HOUSE WAS SELLING MISSLES TO OUR ENEMY, IRAN, TO FUND THE INSURGENT TERRORIST CONTRAS IN NEIGHBORING NICARAGUA. IT'S DOCUMENTED FACT THAT NEGROPONTE KNEW THE CIA WAS TRAINING HONDURAN DEATH SQUADS TO TORTURE AND KILL PEASANTS. THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE REASON SEYMOUR HERSH GIVES IN HIS LATEST ARTICLE IN THE NEW YORKER FOR NEGROPONTE TO GIVE UP RUNNING THE ENTIRE U-S SPY SYSTEM TO BECOME CONDOLEEZA RICE'S GOFER AS AN UNDERSECRETARY OF STATE SO AMAZING. HERSH SAYS THE REASON NEGORPONTE STEPPED DOWN WAS HE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE HIS NAME ANYWHERE NEAR THE WIERD AND ILLEGAL SHIT COMING OUT OF THE OFFICE OF VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY. LIKE WHAT? http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/070305fa_fact_hersh?page=5
HOW ABOUT OFFERING CLANDESTINE SUPPORT TO SUNNI TERRORISTS IN LEBANNON? CHENY SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN HIS MARCHING ORDERS FROM SAUDI ARABIA LAST NOVEMBER, DURING HIS COMMAND PERFORMANCE ON THANKSGIVING DAY BEFORE THE HOUSE OF SAUD. AND SO, CHENEY IS ILLEGALLY OFFERING AID AND COMFORT TO OUR TERRORIST ENEMIES, SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY STRUGGLE AGAINST OUR OTHER TERRORIST ENEMIES, IRAN-BACKED HEZBOLLAH. LISTEN, IF WAR CRIMINALS LIKE NEGROPONTE DON'T WANT TO PLAY WITH YOU ANYMORE, WHAT YOU'RE DOING MUST BE PRETTY FUCKED UP.
THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW!
THE UNITED STATES FOUGHT A CIVIL WAR OVER THE VALUE THAT EVERYONE BORN IN THIS COUNTRY IS AN AMERICAN AND HAS GOD-GIVEN, INALIENABLE RIGHTS. THAT GOOD IDEA IS CALLED THE 14TH AMENDMENT OF THE U-S CONSTITUTION. (AND YES, I KNOW, THE CIVIL WAR WAS ALSO ABOUT INDUSTRIALIZATION.) ANYWAY, I BRING THIS UP BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO THE LOS ANGELES TIMES, FUCKING IDIOTS IN THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE ARE FORCING A COURT BATTLE TO PUT THE QUESTION OF WHAT THE 14TH AMENDMENT REALLY MEANS BEFORE A FEDERAL JUDGE. THE REASON? THEY HATE SOME ILLEGAL ALIENS. NOT THE CUTE, CUDDLY IRISH ILLEGAL ALIENS THAT TEND BAR AND MAKE BEDS. NOT THE RUSSIAN ILLEGAL ALIENS THAT ARE ALSO WHITE AND MAKE SUCH WONDERFUL STRIPPERS. NO, OF COURSE WE MEAN DARK-SKINNED, MEXICAN ILLEGAL ALIENS. AND THEIR BABIES, WHICH CURRENTLY, WHEN BORN IN THE UNITED STATES, BECOME CITIZENS OF OUR BASTION OF LIBERTY. THE GOAL, ACCORDING TO THE ARTICLE, IS TO STRIP ILLEGAL ALIENS AND THIER CHILDREN OF STATE-FUNDED SERVICES. LIKE EDUCATION. AND HEALTH CARE. NEVER MIND THAT PISSANT TEXAS STATE LEGISLATORS ARE SEVERAL MILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY FROM BEING THE PEOPLE WHO COULD POSSIBLY QUESTION CONSITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS, LIKE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES OR MEMBERS OF THE U-S HOUSE AND SENATE. KNOW WHAT THIS REMINDS ME OF? EVER HEARD OF THE NUREMBURG LAWS? http://www.mtsu.edu/~baustin/holokron.html LOOKING UP ANY SCHOLARLY CRONOLOGY OF THE HOLOCAUST, WE LEARN THAT ON September 15TH, 1935, THE German Congress passeD the so-called Nuremburg Laws which redefineD German Jews as non-citizens and banED Jews from any political participation. DO YOU WANT TO START MONKEYING WITH THE 14TH AMEMENDMENT? DO YOU WANT TO CREATE A DIS-ENFRANCHISED UNDERCLASS OF NATIVE-BORN PEOPLE WITH BROWN SKIN? What does it mean when a country starts fucking with its citizenship laws? What kind of people revoke citizenship FROM INNOCENT CHILDREN once it is legally given?
