For a few minutes or days you will be wearing a desk on your head

Hat tip to Lemiux @ LGM

Lakisha Briggs was a 34-year-old single mom living in the suburbs of Philadelphia in subsidized rental housing. Her boyfriend had attacked her repeatedly in her home, and the police had been called on several occasions to intervene—10 times in the first five months of 2012 alone, according to her legal filings. But because an ordinance in Norristown, Pa., says that a tenant who makes three 911 calls within four months can be evicted and that tenant’s landlord could have his or her rental license suspended.

Blink, blink, blink, blink……………………….In what fucking world is it a crime to call the police in an emergency (Bob forgive one should suffer more than one a month), and what could be the motivation to threaten unrelated parties with a potential lack of income. What fashion of Authoritarian Asshattery might imagine that the following would pass Constitutional muster:

But because an ordinance in Norristown, Pa., says that a tenant who makes three 911 calls within four months can be evicted and that tenant’s landlord could have his or her rental license suspended.

If you wrapped a coil of wire around my head and stuffed a bunch of magnets in my mouth, I could charge at least a dozen cell phones right now.

(Me thinks it time to gather some demographic information on the states of things in Norristown…Initial information places it as a Northern suburb or Borough of Philadelphia and a cursory glance at the city website would suggest that it is a white friendly paradise (not that there is anything particularly worng with that, wrong probably, but not worng) however, the latest census states that the breakdown is 40% white, 35% black and that between 1970 and 1990 the city lost nearly 8 thousand residents (the latter fact might be attributed to white flight if I were a betting man.)

Briggs did not call the police on the night of June 23, 2012, when the same boyfriend hit her in the head with a glass ashtray then stabbed her in the neck with a piece of broken glass. The police had already warned her that she was on her third strike after their last visit. So she didn’t make the call and—just before she passed out—Briggs begged a neighbor not to do so on her behalf.

The neighbor did call the cops, and Briggs was airlifted to a nearby trauma center. The boyfriend went to prison for the assault. Then police served Briggs’ landlord with a notice that said if she and her 3-year-old weren’t evicted within 10 days, he’d lose his rental license. [emphasis mine] Meet the new face of disorderly conduct.

Blink, blink, blink…Mind blown…Blink, blink, blink…There are days, (9 out of ten) when if offered by a Genie three wishes, they would be predicated on making the world a better place. Then there are days like today, which when faced with something that confounds my inner cynic in such a way that I might be inclined to wish that the world be cleansed of humanity as to make room for whatever sentience might follow in the fullness of time.

The ordinance in question:

Norristown Municipal Code § 245-3 states that landlords are responsible for “disorderly behavior” by tenants currently in their rental units, as well as tenants’ family members and guests. Under the ordinance, disorderly behavior includes “domestic disturbances that do not require that a mandatory arrest be made.”

Blink, blink, blink…ad infinitum…

I saw that at LGM and had pretty much the exact same reaction.

There’s got to be some sort of “equal protection” thing that would make this law unconstitutional. Right? Please?

 
 

I moved away about 4 years ago, but I lived just across the river from Norristown for 11 years or so. The general agreement in the area was that Norristown was the bad part of Norristown. A Norristown address meant your insurance rates would be higher – and insurance companies are not known for their magical thinking. It’s the County Seat for Montgomery County. If it weren’t, I suspect it would be even more abandoned, underfunded, underserved, etc. than it is. The residents seem to be mostly poor, and mostly black (and I know this will be a shock to those who would like to believe we live in a “post-racial” society, but membership in the latter group strongly affects the likelihood of your being in the former group, bigotry being what it is).

Anyway, it’s not really surprising that Norristown would have such a law on the books. And I’m pretty sure the consequences weren’t unintended. Did I mention my impression that the politics there were toxic? Also strongly Republican, but I repeat myself.

 
 

Yeah, Norristown is the armpit of Philly. Had a college housemate from Ntown who NEVER wanted to go home. He told his poor decrepit mother if she wanted to see him she’d have to come to State College, a three hour drive.

 
 

Jeez, I just spent Wed. night in Montgomery Cty but I was on the other side of the tracks.

 
 

Also, too, Philly has a lot of pits.

Re: the story, I can’t say I’m surprised. Disgusted, but not surprised that in the U.S. equal protection under the law too often means diddly-squat. (The fact that landlords can lose their rental licenses suggests to me that their properties will find their way into fewer hands, ones more capable of gaming the systems. But I dunno.)

many years ago, I worked on domestic violence hotline. I eventually stopped when I moved and it became clear that my work schedule made it too difficult to sign up for regular shifts. Frankly, I mostly dealt with women who weren’t ready to deal with the problem (we had a regular that would call in for certain shifts complaining about her druggie husband and brother) and ones looking for an excuse (my first ever call left me with the impression that she wanted my permission to blow away her abuser without trying any kind of other remedies – which the social worker that I called afterword seemed to confirm). There were also regular perverts which I fortunately, never had to deal with. I also did have a number of women that did have to be put in safe houses. It’s a serious issue that isn’t given enough attention. I think my state of Maryland has really tried to be a force for good in this area

 
 

Some James Blish, who seems to have channeled the JanusNode in his short story Common Time:

“How do you hear?” the creature said abruptly. Its voice, or their voices, came at equal volume from every point in the circle, but not from any particular point in it. Garrard could think of no reason why that should be unusual. “I” he said. “Or we hear with our ears. Here.” His answer, with its unintentionally long chain of open vowel sounds, rang ridiculously. He wondered why he was speaking such an odd language. “We-they wooed to pitch youyours thiswise,” the creature said. With a thump, a book from the DFC-3’s ample library fell to the deck beside the hammock.

“We wooed there and there and there for a many. You are the being-
Garrard. We–they are the clinesterton beademung, with all of love.”
“With all of love,” Garrard echoed. The beademung’s use of the
language they both were speaking was odd; but again Garrard could
find no logical reason why the beademung’s usage should be considered wrong. “Areare you-they from Alpha Centauri?” he said hesitantly. “Yes, we hear the twin radioceles, that show there beyond the gift-orifices. We-they pitched that the being-Garrard with most adoration these twins and had mind to them, soft and loud alike. How do you hear?”

This time the being-Garrard understood the question. “I hear Earth,” he said. “But that is very soft, and does not show.” “Yes,” said the beademung. “It is a harmony, not a first, as ours. The All-Devouring listens to lovers there, not on the radioceles. Let me-mine pitch you-yours so to have mind of the rodalent beademung and other brothers and lovers, along the channel which is fragrant to the being-Garrard.” Garrard found that he understood the speech
without difficulty. The thought occurred to him that to understand a
language on its own terms without having to put it back into English in
one’s own mind is an ability that is won only with difficulty and long
practice. Yet, instantly his mind said, “But it is English,” which of course it was. The offer the clinesterton beademung had just made was enormously hearted, and he in turn was much minded and of love, to his own delighting as well as to the beademungen; that almost went without saying.

There were many matings of ships after that, and the being-Garrard pitched the harmonies of the beademungen, leaving his ship with the many gift orifices in harmonic for the All-Devouring to love, while the beademungen made show of they-theirs. He tried, also, to tell how he was out of love with the overdrive, which wooed only spaces and times, and made featurelings. The rodalent beademung wooed the overdrive, but it did not pitch he-them. Then the being-Garrard knew that all the time was devoured, and he must hear Earth again. “I pitch you-them to fullest love,” he told the beademungen, “I shall adore the radioceles of Alpha and Proxima Centauri, ‘on Earth as it is in Heaven.’ Now the overdrive my-other must woo and win me, and make me adore a featureling much like silence.”

“But you will be pitched again,” the clinesterton beademung said. “After you have adored Earth. You are much loved by Time, the All-Devouring. We-they shall wait for this othering.” Privately Garrard did not faith as much, but he said, “Yes, we-they will make a new wooing of the beadernungen at some other radiant. With all of love.” On this the beademungen made and pitched adorations, and in the midst the overdrive cut in. The ship with the many gift orifices and the being- Garrard him-other saw the twin radioceles sundered away. Then, once more, came the pseudo-death.

Ok, so I look up the “Illegal voting was rampant in Ohio where Republicans caught a Democratic poll worker voting six times.

She claims she was voting for her sister, who is in a coma, and a grandchild in the earlier elections, and that she’d forgotten she’d mailed in the absentee when she voted in person in the 2012. So yeah, bad and she should be punished, but JESUS CHRIST we are not talking about a spree here(6 total cases being investigated in Hamilton county), and no, you innumerate moron, we would not be under president Romney if she’d only voted once.

Who is “Dennis” and why are all of the posts over written?

It is a stalker troll, a racist and misogynist asshole to boot. We don’t like him and he has nothing of interest to contribute.

If he was interested in playing nicely his commentary would not be moderated. This blog does not belong to him.

I hope that helps.

 
 

Hamilton County 2004 registered voters: 573,612

Note that Hamilton County, which contains Cincinnati, is one of the most reliably Republican districts in Ohio.

She could have voted 1000 times and not come close to putting Hamilton County into Obama territory.

I really thought the Dr Johnny Fever influence would swing that county to a more liberal voter base.

 
 

DON SURBER: 14. From CNN: “Former President Bill Clinton, who sat in the Oval Office during the last government shutdown, supports President Barack Obama’s refusal to negotiate with congressional Republicans and argues he should call their bluff as the government nears a possible shutdown and default.” […] That worked so well for Bill. […] The 1995 shutdown as when the president met an unpaid intern. […] Monica Lewinsky. […] EVIL.

I don’t get it — is Surber saying that Obama is angling for a blowjob? Talk about twelfth-dimensional chess, or whatever no. of dimensions the trope involves.

 
 

His routine explains why some liberals, like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and anchor Katie Couric, manage to rise to the top of their respective professions. They thrive in gigs involving all talk, no action, lecturing others as if they were children rather than getting things done, he argues.

WTF? Fox Noise mouthpieces and Bible-thumpin’ preachers are liberals?

 
 

Yoo hoo, the Augean Stables need to be rinsed out again.

 
 

Dennis is a menace. He’s always annoying his neighbour Mr. Wilson.

You know, Smut Clyde’s referencing Brown’s The Answer yesterday got me to thinking…do you suppose Dennis got pointers on his passive-aggressive I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I trolling tactics from Martians Go Home?

If you catch a pacu it is time to re-think the plan.

Bernie Sanders: Bernie Sanders: “I’m an advocate of a single-payer national health care system, but it never occurred to me to bring down the United States government and cause pain for millions of workers because I can’t get my way.”

I wish I could vote for Bernie.

Would someone please have the media play, every time the rethuglicans complain that Obama/Dems won’t negotiate, A clip of St. Raygun saying “we will not negotiate with terrorists.”

As if.

 
 

enh?how is this even possible:

Keep the potatoes submerged in a bowel of very cold water, preferably in the refrigerator. They will stay nice and bright!

yes, i was googling the potatoes…

 
 

Who is “Dennis” and why are all of the posts over written?

Things have really gone downhill for Dennis Miller lately. What can you do?

 
 

If you are going to put potatoes in your bowel, keeping your bowel in the refrigerator seems reasonable.

 
 

Brightness is not desired in a potato. Not in the potato itself. Possibly in a topping. Have you fallen prey to a JanusNode food info-source, I wonder.

“Bowel” of water?

 
 

Also, enemas should be cold – hot water causes cramping.

 
 

Ask me about my cheese keeping tip.

 
 

It’s easy to keep fresh berries on hand.

The one would follow from the other, I assume.

I would have assumed body-temperature was ideal.

Depends on what you’re trying to accomplish.

Perhaps the Major should buy some of these toys for his taxi-cab colleagues to keep their minds diverted from low ammo supplies….

Not with any of mine, thanks.

In fact I haven’t thought about what enemas are for, typically, nor what their possibilities might be.

I assumed they’re for clearing crap* out of your guts, but in my experience, you don’t need an enema for that, even when moderately constipated.

*& What Have You ™

 
 

They work great at cleaning the bowls right now… you know, in case you want to use them for other things.

 
 

You know, like perhaps a nice salad.

Y’all are so nasty. I’m not even sure I grasp the extent of it.

Oh, you really really really don’t want to know.

There are indeed many videos on the subject on the InterTubes, however…

 
 

Though I will be polite and link to this video because I can’t stop watching the damn thing and I have no idea why it entertains me so.

 
 

I’m pleased to report that those links are not shitty, not enematical, insomuch as I could tell. He’s pivoted away from all that, for now.

 
 

There should be an Elgar disco song called Bump and Circumstance. Just saying.

 
 

Well, clearly the only option in this case is to shut the whole fucking Federal government down. A true thing dat. That’s why the GOP is going this . . . to save our asses from alien government. Wheeeee!

 
 

Also, I’d like to say . . .

Badger shortage!

hubbkf, who is in the other room, just yelled, ‘what the fuck is that?!”

 
 

The police had already warned her that she was on her third strike after their last visit.

i think this is the line that makes me sick the most…niiiiiice. so, we have the cops, whose role is to protect and serve, telling her…’uh, better not call again…’

gosh…can you just imagine how hopeful she must felt about ever getting out of the vicious cycle of hell that she was in? and probably still is in? unless, of course, she’s dead by now…

 
 

so, we have the cops, whose role is to protect and serve, telling her…’uh, better not call again…’

I think I see the problem. You’re obviously assuming the people the cops are supposed to protect and serve are, you know, people. As in everybody. They obviously consider “people” to mean the 1%, possibly the top 20%, but obviously not anyone who might need help.

 
 

I’m not a part of your system!

But the new post is.

 
 

I think I just saw some starbursts!
