— Ace Remember, after originally claiming to be spat upon (which the media trumpeted as a saliva-rope lynching), Rep. Cleaver then walked back the claim to someone "allowed" his spit to land upon his very dignified personage.
By which he means he was a victim of Say It Don't Spray it, a Class D Felony, though it becomes Aggravated Say It Don't Spray It, a Class C Felony, when "enhanced" by a racial motive.
Now, as much as the horrific crime of Say It Don't Spray it stains this country like blood, or, more accurately, saliva, most 2nd graders learn to handle this heinous offense without police involvement.
This asshole, on the other hand, called in the cops to detain and restrain the perpertrator.
Now the video's up. The guy was just shouting using his cupped hands as poor-man's megaphone, and was shouting as a general matter, not just at Cleaver.
But when Cleaver -- who is apparently Royalty, as it turns out -- suffered the low-tech lynching of a dollop of spittle landing unwantedly upon his princely cheek, he made a federal case out of it. Literally, a federal case.

I notice the big thing on YouTube is a video supposedly showing George W. Bush 'wiping' his hand on Bill Clinton's shirt after shaking hands with Haitians. Of course, if you actually LOOK at the film clip it looks like a back pat with 'Hey, Bill, time to go', but no: W. Hateses the Black People! Halliburton!! Eleventy!!!!

I gotta say I'm perplexed as to why there's not any outrage over a 16-year old kid being arrested and maybe charged with a Hate Crime for saying something stupid, yet harmless, over a PA system in a store.
Sad to think we live in a country where people wear FREE MUMIA t-shirts and jail 16 yo for thought crimes and pranks.

Does this mean that we might get the pleasure of seeing Chrissy Matthews handcuffed and dragged away, on air, after he sprays another of his guests with his spittle?
I always knew that Matthews was committing a crime with the constant spit flying out of his mouth. It's about time that this nation took spitting-talkers seriously.

I'm a bit on the paranoid side, but I can see what's unreasonable and irrational as far as being afraid of things.
However, I am seriously beginning to question whether or not we will be having elections in November. They seem to think that passing a bill by the narrowest of margins in a legislature that they dominate is some type of mandate for further acts that are plainly contrary to teh will of the people.
Are we really gonna go down this road?

Social Evolution of Conservatives vs Liberals
The division of the human family into its two distinct political branches occurred some 10,000 years ago, when humans coexisted as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers.
The pivotal event of societal evolution was the invention of beer.
This epochal event was both the foundation of modern civilization and the occasion of the bifurcation of humanity into its two distinct subgroups: Conservatives and Liberals.
Once beer was discovered, it required grain, and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so it was necessary to stick close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days killing animals to barbecue at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of the conservative movement.
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting, learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly barbecues and doing the sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the liberal movement. An interesting evolutionary side note: some of these early liberal men eventually evolved into women.
Liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the trade union, the invention of group therapy and group hugs, and the concept of democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that the conservatives provided.
Over the years, conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant.
Liberals are symbolized by the jackass. Modern liberals like imported beer, but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.
Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men.
Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't "fair" to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer; they eat red meat, and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, soldiers, athletes, and generally anyone who works productively outside government. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to "govern" the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. The liberals crept in after the Wild West was tamed by the conservatives and then created a business of trying to get MORE for nothing.

Can someone please explain to me why the cops didn't just take his name and number and then just walk away?
Sorry, but the Capitol Police are the Praetorian Guard. They do what a member asks immediately, no question.
I'm not too worried about our military enforcing blatantly unconstitutional laws agasint us, they would likely join an opposition movement if need be. The capitol cops/US Marshalls/Secret Service/ATF? All of them are utterly beholdent to the people who issue their "orders."
