Salt City Sinner

posted 9/25/2012 by the Salt City Sinner When we   last  touched base with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe "Tough Guy" Arpaio, he was industriously applying his puckered lizard pseudo-lips to the powdered ass-cheeks of a noted member of the landed gentry, one Lord Christopher Monckton of Brenchley. Lord knows it's a proud and celebrated tradition here in the colony to suck up to the British aristocracy - remember just last week when Elizabeth Warren flew to London to pay tribute to our beloved Queen? No? Me neither. Anyway, it seems that Sheriff Joe's twenty-some-odd year reign of terror is (maybe? hopefully?) on its way down the tubes: Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio recently lost support among his Maricopa County constituents amid a high-profile attempt to prove that President Barack Obama's long-form birth certificate is a forgery, a new poll finds.  According to the poll commissioned by Citizens for a Better Arizona, a group helmed by progressive activ...

Posted on 5/29/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Self-styled "America's Toughest Sheriff," Joe Arpaio has set out on a lonely mission these days. Joe "Tough Guy" Arpaio, picking on prisoners. Isn't Fascism a blast? For starters, Joe "Tough Guy" Arpaio is well known for picking on the poor and imprisoned  In my household, growing up, we had a name for guys who love to pick on people already kicked down - bullies. Bullies and Fascism go together like a slice of lemon and a glass of refreshing water. Look how happy he is to make Maricopa County prisoners wear pink underwear! Why did he do such a thing, and why does he make most of his prisoners live in stifling tent cities  (which he, in his own psychopathic words, has described as "concentration camps" ) in one of the most hot and horrible climates in the United States? For Freedom, of course! American Fascists are all about Freedom! Arpaio is all about Freedom! Arpaio is a loa...

There's an ongoing debate among both people who voted for Obama and people who loathe Obama as to how cagey our president is. When Obama does something that boggles one group or the other, the question is often addressed in shorthand using the phrase "four dimensional chess:" as in, is Obama actually five steps ahead of his opponents strategically? Or is he flying by the seat of his pants? This question has been bothering me all morning, as Obama has apparently been goaded by professional jackass Donald Trump into addressing the Birthers by providing a long form birth certificate. As I write this, Trump is live on CNN gloating about his role in the release of Obama's documentation. The fact that the initial Birther response seems to be "well why didn't he release this sooner? What is he hiding, HMMMMM?!" is both obnoxious and predictable. Will this satisfy the Birthers? Oh my good God no. At WND, also known as Crazy Corsi's House of Clinically Insan...

From KSL : SALT LAKE CITY -- A new poll shows many Utahns aren't sure if President Barack Obama is a native of Africa or the United States. The Dan Jones poll done for KSL-TV and the Deseret News shows one-third of those questioned either do not believe or are not sure if Pres. Obama was born on U.S. soil. However, two-thirds of those asked say they believe the president was born in Hawaii, as he claims and a birth certificate has proven. The president's place of birth has been questioned by so-called "birthers" who believe he lied about his background and therefore is not qualified to be president. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says the birth certificate is online. Ladies and gentlemen of the Beehive State, we have achieved Escape Velocity. (h/t to Tom Grover)
