— andy Bumped, and Open Thread.
Sean Davis, writer at The Federalist and COO of Media Trackers joins Ace, Gabe, Drew and John to discuss Obamacare, the perils of Juicebox Journalism, and the Martin Bashir firing at MSNBC.
Then Gabe and Drew pull back the curtain on a new segment to give you a glimpse of what every day's coblogger email group looks like as they argue with each other (over immigration. again.) while the rest of the gang tries to slip a word in edgewise. I think someone may have been killed with a trident.
They wrap up the episode with another new segment - Q&A from the Moron Mailbag.
Referenced in this episode:
- No, America DoesnÂ’t Have Too Many Banks
- Taming The Fury Of Rage: How Not To Write, Starring SlateÂ’s Matt Yglesias

Alec Baldwin , Martin Bashir and Obama walk into a bar at happy hour.
Alec Baldwin yells at the bartender " get me a beer you fag !"
Martin Bahsir also yells at the bartender " get me one now or I'll shit in your mouth! "
Obama orders a beer and asks the bartender " have you signed up for Obamacare yet?"
The bartender looks at Obama and says " Sir , if you continue to throw obscenities my way I'm going to have to ask you to leave"

Bullshit. Unwrap your lips from cop dick for a few minutes.
First of all, it's a bit difficult to control one's dog when you're handcuffed and forced to the floor with uniformed thugs screaming at you.
When they bust down your door (almost everything qualifies for "no knock" status), I'm pretty fucking sure they're not going to sit back and wait for you to lock up your pets before entering.
Second, there have been many cases where the cops pre-emptively shoot dogs for "officer safety", whether the dog is poised to attack or not.

Sometimes the cops shoot the dogs while cutting through your backyard to get at someone hiding in someone else's yard. Or, you know, shoot your dog even though you put your dog in the bathroom to keep it controlled and contained.

True story: I was a huge fan of the Buffy tv series, and whenever the actress Eliza Dushku came up (which happened a lot more often in those days) I would refer to her as "the naughty slayer." Well, anyone who hadn't watched the show had no idea what I was talking about.

Problem with dogs and cops is that cops ( not all but its becoming a problem ) think every pet dog is a fucking pitbull trained by drug dealers and used as either live jewelery or a weapon.
Cops should be trained about the difference in dogs just like they are trained to know the difference between threat level of a civilian and a perp.

Martin Bashir walks into a bar and says to the bartender "Line up 10 shots of your best tequila! I'm celebrating!!". The bartender looks at him and asks him just what is it that he's celebrating? "My first blow job!" Bashir proudly declares. Now smiling, the bartender says "Well good for you! Allow me to give you an extra one on the house". Martin Bashir looks down and after a moment he says to the bartender, "Naw, if 10 doesn't get the taste out of my mouth an 11th one certainly won't".

Thas jus ignorant.
When they bust in, they don't give you the option of controlling your dog because they've got you on the floor or against the wall with a gun in your face.
Besides many of these peticides have taken place outside the home OR are some innocuous furball that couldn't gum a sock into a coma.
Cops: See a dog == shoot a dog. Reason; I wuz in feer of my life.
Sure there are some cases where this may have to occur but not in most others. It's just cops being control freaks and because
THEY CAN.

A pitbull, a minature poodle and a chihuahua walk unknowingly into a cop bar and order a bowl of water.
The bartender says " If I were you guys , I would high tail it out of here"
The pitbull and minature poodle said " I don't think there will be a problem"
The chihuahua replied " speak for yourself guys, you're not Mexican"

The bartender says " If I were you guys , I would high tail it out of here"
The pitbull and minature poodle said " I don't think there will be a problem"
The chihuahua replied " speak for yourself guys, you're not Mexican"

The cops then shoot the dogs, high-five each other, and go on for hours about what badasses they are.

no cop likes the idea of having to kill a family pet but in some cases does it happen, yes and it sucks
when I did I had no choice, I was coming in and a pit bull was not stopping me and I still feel bad about it

Granted. My two best friends are LE; one a retired NYC detective the other is still serving on OR.
And you're right; most of these assholes don't have dogs because they love them, they're just furry jewlry to them. It's on the officer to make the distinction.
Let me put it this way. I had a beautiful Arab horse. Misha. Some cocksucker thought it would be funny to shoot her from his pickup. That horse and I rode miles and miles of fence.
I found him. Let's just say the rest is classified.

Pitbulls are a special case imho, and I consider them the most dangerous breed of dog on the planet. I would never trust one and my default opinion on seeing one is that it wants to kill me.

Not to be nasty about it, ncj, but do you think anything (I mean, anything truly damaging) will happen to the cop at #155? Because if that had been my dog, I would find the meanest, most bad-ass lawyer I could and sue the fucker until he had to sell his bone marrow for food.

And almost without exception, said actions don't occur.
Nobody is suggesting a cop has to get mauled by an angry pit pull before shooting it in self defense. We all understand that there are going to be unfortunate scenarios where it's necessary.
However, the threat the cop allegedly made? Had he carried it out I can pretty much guarantee he'd not face so much as a wrist-slap. "Officer Safety" and "In Accordance With Department Policy" would be the phrases of the day.
Posted by: Hollowpoint at December 06, 2013 08:04 AM (SY2Kh)
But like prosecutorial over reach, they don't get disciplined for bad behavior.
Some DA in Tejas didn't share info on a guy and the guy spent 20 some years in the slammer. He finally got out and they charged the DA with misconduct.
His sentence?
10 DAYS in jail.
Most cops and DA's NEVER are confronted with their misdeeds.
When's the last time an "investigation" on a cop shooting came back NOT JUSTIFIED? And that's not one district or one state, that's all over the country.
Because the DA's can't be bothered to go after the cops (same side you know) and the judges can't be bothered to go after the DA"s.
And then they wonder why few people have respect for the law anymore.

The whole dog/cat divide thing: people talk about dogs who stay with their owners, even after the owner dies and is not found for days/weeks. Starving themselves as they "mourn" the loss.
My cats will jump up on my bed to see if I'm still breathing. If so, they cuddle up. If not, they would start chowing down on my carcass.
You can say your dog loves you, but if you can't respect a cat for its practicality, I don't know what to tell you.
Posted by: BurtTC at December 06, 2013 08:06 AM (TOk1P)
The only dog my cat has ever beaten up...terrier. The terrier that poops on my lawn and his fat stupid human just watches.
I went over to apologize and make sure the dog was OK, but I was really proud of my furry asshole.

Uh. Let me put it this way: just because you have a badge doesn't make you a superhero. The best LE I know understand this concept.
The problem is in the mentality of badge + gun = always right.
Not so. The best officers I know are humble and very dangerous. Wisdom goes a long way.

I feel the need to reiterate my frequent claim that Matty Yglesias is not a human being, and is in fact an animated, barely sentient turnip named Turnipthulu. He spends his days hopping up and down on a computer keyboard, now and then posting ridiculous, turnippy screeds to Twitter and amateur webzine Slate. I have frequently complained to the Turnip Appreciation and Affinity Association about him, but they find themselves unable to rein him in.
He's a turnippy menace, and the sooner someone pickles him and adds him to some kind of salad, the better.

Until little league.
I played left field.
I use to fall asleep out there.
Picking daisies, lotto number, my nose . . .
Still, on TV it was okay.
Then I got older.
Wondering why the eff I ever played the game and how did it become our national sport?
Soooooooo sloooooooooow.
I guess it's kinda like combat; hours of boredom punctuated by a few minutes of stark terror and activity.
world cup? Buncha hooligans running around a field kicking a ball and each other. No scoring (or very little) no action no excitement (except in the stands when the fans get rowdy)
