POWIP Piece of Work In Progress

Hell in a Handbasket [UPDATE by Dan]

After reading this, I wanted to write something about how the Reservation system needs to be abolished and how years of consequence-less entitlement has deteriorated American Indian culture into something barely human. I wanted to elaborate on how many times I've been other places and heard people glorify the "noble savage" and when I tell them what I've seen on the Res, I'm simply told, "The white man made them that way."

But you know, forget about my personal experiences and opinions. Simply put, a 13-year-old middle school girl was drinking with her 21-year-old brother and 19-year-old step-cousin when her brother passed out, then awoke to find his sister and step-cousin having sex, so he put his sister in a choke hold and when she went limp he threw her against a weight bench, killing her. Realizing she was dead, he and the step-cousin dragged her out of the house and hid the body under a tree. Then they resumed their drinking after deciding they just wouldn't tell anyone about it.

Somehow I'm sure that's the white man's fault. The "white man" did exempt

If you're not queasy yet, I'd like to suggest this story about a Reservation man who believes he shouldn't be prosecuted for beating his 22-month old daughter to death because it happened in "Indian Country" and therefore white man's law doesn't apply to him.

Likely I'll get called RACIST for this. But that word has been thrown around so much does it even mean anything anymore? I don't give a ---- what "race" a person is and I think it's about time we cared less about that and more about acting like human beings.

I’m Very Sorry for the Blocked Videos

As you can see from comments, they were functioning for a bit.

I took the embed code from LiveLeak, where it's offered. They also give you an option to download the video, the catch being that you have to download, at the least, a trial copy of a program called Replay Media Catcher.

I get that they want to earn money by touting the product, but what I don't understand is how they think that this is fair, when they themselves apparently have a policy of grabbing video (and sometimes accompanying text) from other sites without attribution. Too bad. I was hoping to find them useful for The B-Cast.

Okay, now they're showing again. I take it back, I guess.

Irish TV Interview of Bush

From LiveLeak, it's prefaced with this:

BANNED Bush Interview

From the source:
"This is a video I found of an Irish TV interview with President Bush. I later found out that this interview was not shown on American television because it was banned! Why you ask, take a look and see..."

Why was it "banned"? Not clear to me.

Yeah, I miss him. What I'm reminded of most of all is how comparatively generous Bush the Younger was with the press, whereas Obama is seeing whether he can go a full year without holding a regular press conference, in pique over having been asked a hard question (that he fumbled) about Skip Gates. And yet, see how the press treats The Won, compared with how they treated Bush.

WAY better than how Snark Boy treats his detractors.

A new strain of Cryptosporidium is deadly, and possibly given license to spread by global warming. Say "researchers." At the same time, polar ice cap at greatest extent in 9 years, and Britain may possibly experience another "Little Ice Age". Say "researchers."

The Unredacted Blago Subpoena Request

Ace was the first to have this, as far as I know, and it makes for some fascinating reading. CBS Chicago boils it down to what they consider the most important points.

A more important story, probably, and expressive of how stupid the Democrats are, is this post at AoSHQ about their plan to do away with the filibuster in order to ram through the remainder of their unpopular agenda---as though that won't blow up in their faces come November. It's not that they're not going to get their asses kicked anyway, it's just that the scale will be even more prodigious.

UPDATE: via Instapundit, "If Obama says he love you, check it out."

The South Park Censorship Kerfuffle

Snarky Basterd and others are up in arms about Comedy Central's censorship of the image of President Obama and the bleeping of the name. I have no problem with this policy as long as it extends to all of their other programs.

Otherwise, those obamaing obamaers can go obama themselves. This really calls for a Downfall parody, I think.
