King, Mandela, Gandhi, and Barkin

Add another name to the pantheon of civil rights leaders!  Martin, Nelson, Mahatma, move over, there is a new civil rights sheriff in town and she isn't taking any crap!  Yes dear readers, Ms. Ellen Moonbat Barkin now exists in the rarefied heights of civil rights greats of the past.

Drudging up memories of Tiananmen Square, Kent State, and Selma, Ms. Barkin and her 26 year old grandson.... errrr... boyfriend were horribly accosted New Years morning by the nefarious and vermicious NYPD.  She was attempting to "help" a young woman who was in the process of being arrested by said nefarious and vermicious NYPD officers.  Of course, Ms. Barkin is completely qualified to evaluate the validity of the arrest due to her role as an attorney with the district attorney's task-force on police corruption in the movie, "The Big Easy".  In the process of offering her assistance to the young woman, Ms. Barkin was brutally "shoved with both hands" and "threatened" by a maniacal officer of the NYPD.

Fortunately, Ms. Barkin's grandson... errr... boyfriend caught all this on video which he so thoughtfully posted online.  PLEASE BE ADVISED.... You are about to witness violence of so graphic a nature that it is almost certain to emotionally scar anyone who watches.  Please do not let the elderly, children, or those with heart conditions watch!




Please give me a second to compose myself... Thanks, all better now.  The last time I saw such violently aggressive behavior was the last time I saw a boy scout escort a little old lady across the street.  Oh the humanity!

Of course, Ms. Barkin handled the encounter with her usual elegance, grace, and decorum... She can be heard on the video counselling the wayward young officer, "Get your mother-f***ing hands off of me!"   She later followed this up on Twitter with an even more gracious, "F--k all of u, Bloomberg, & every1 goosestepping behind u!"

Thank you Ms. Barkin for fighting the good fight against evil and tyranny!  You remind us of what the power of love, compassion, and understanding can do to change the world for the better.  I for one will sleep better tonight knowing that you are on the job.

Monday Musings With The Crew

Welcome to the first edition of Monday Musings for 2012.  A veritable New Year's cornucopia of topics, from the insane to the ridiculous.  Let's start with the insane...

• A new Rasmussen poll revealed that only 5% of Americans approve of Congress.  To put that in perspective, other recent approval ratings as determined by polling..
• Charles Manson   9.5%
• Lindsay Lohan     18%
• British Petroleum  16% (taken during the spill)
• Dying alone          38%

The insane part of this nugget is that 5% of Americans actually approve of Congress.  If you know one of these people, do not approach them.  Contact the authorities immediately. 

• The average American family spent a record $4150 on gasoline in 2011.  I actually heard a lib talking head say that means the economy is improving!  Uh, no.....demand for gasoline actually pulled back during 2011, the record spending was due to the high energy prices supported by the Obama administration.  On the day Dear Leader was inaugurated, gasoline was $1.67 at my neighborhood gas station.  Along that vein, Iran is making noises about blocking the Strait of Hormuz, thereby choking off a major source of Middle Eastern crude for the West.  Hey Barry....can we actually start developing our own resources NOW?  Start drilling, approve the Keystone pipeline, and let's get this country on her own two feet.

• Rest easy SACSTW fans, you can continue to read your favorite blog by the blinding light of a 100W incandescent bulb for a few more months (at least in the U.S).  January 1, 2012 was supposed to be the end of the 100W bulb, but Congressional action in December pushed that back to at least October.  If you have already made the switch to compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) bulbs, you surely have the local HAZMAT team number on speed dial just in case you break one of them right?  

And now on to the ridiculous.....January 1, 2012 saw the implementation of over 40,000 new laws and regulations in the United States.  Seriously, after over 200 years of existence we still need 40,000 new laws every year?  Some of the more interesting new laws on the book

• Schools in California are now required to teach students about the contributions made to America by gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender people.  
• Utah has banned daily drink specials in bars....the end of "happy hour" as we know it.  Coming from one who enjoyed "Monday Four-fers" as a young college student, this makes me sad
• Georgia now requires golf carts that are driven off the course to be equipped with brakes, reverse warning signal, tail lights, hip restraints, and a horn.  Come to think of it, maybe this one is OK....

• Illinois now allows motorcyclists to proceed through a red light if it fails to turn green "within a reasonable time".  Hmmm, no potential for trouble there......
• Illinois also is making it illegal to dispose of electronics such as TV's, keyboards, printers, etc into a landfill.  The measure is aimed at getting toxic materials out of the landfills and into your light fixtures.

Have some fun today folks, google "ridiculous new laws for 2012" and see what else your elected leaders have been up to.  Just a note of caution, be sure to have plenty of Pepto-Bismol on hand.

Happy New Year From Sahib and the Crew!

2011 (also known as Year One of the Era of SACSTW) has been put to bed, and 2012 is upon us.  In 4 short months, SACSTW has spread across the world faster than Barack Obama can raise your taxes.  SACSTW has been read in 36 countries, and reached every continent on the globe (well, except Antarctica...what is wrong with you people down there?).  Sahib and I hope that our readers have been entertained and informed when visiting SACSTW, and we promise to keep up the good fight as the world enters a new year.  2012 promises to be a key year in human history, what with a defining election in the USA in November, and the end of the world as foretold by the Mayans coming just 6 weeks later.  Please keep spreading the word about SACSTW, keep emailing us at SACSTW@gmail.com, and have a safe and prosperous 2012!  

P.S. Hey Antarctica.....I know it's summer down there right now, and all you penguin researchers are probably laying around on the beach, but would it kill you to check out SACSTW every now and then?

Harry Reid's Hit Movies!

We discussed our esteemed vice president and attorney general last week.  So this week, the SACSTW Entertainment department brings you the biggest blockbusters of senate majority leader "Dingy" Harry Reid's illustrious career.  Hopefully, you didn't suffer as much through them as we did...

Over the years, Harry got a bigger gun and a bigger pay day!

Harry joined in an unholy partnership with Princess Pelosi.  No, I'm not insinuating Princess Pelosi is the love interest as an orangutan.  You people have sick minds!  She plays the Sandra Locke character...

Finally, they bring our Dear Leader into the picture...

As the poster says, hopefully this all ends in November 2012 and Harry is left all alone as senate minority leader.  (I realize that Harry Reid is not up for reelection in 2012, but his partners in crime are.)

Monday Musings With The Crew

Let's dive right in to this post-holiday edition of MM.......

• The national media continues its attempts to keep Barack Obama from appearing to be an inane self aggrandizer, sort of.  In his recent interview with 60 minutes on CBS, Obama claimed to be the 4th best president, right behind Johnson (LBJ not Andrew), Lincoln, and FDR.  CBS did not air that portion of the interview on the broadcast, but did post the interview in its entirety on its website.  Check this out...

There are so many things wrong with this I really don't know where to start.  First off, how about mentioning LBJ and Lincoln in the same sentence.  Although, I suppose they did both get us into a civil war.  Unfortunately, LBJ's was in Vietnam.  Now if Obama thinks he is only behind those 3 Presidents, then he puts himself ahead of such slackers as Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Truman, Kennedy, and Reagan.  Really, the ego of this guy is just remarkable.  What great foreign policy and legislative achievements is he talking about?  

Thank God the TSA was on the ball... think of the mayhem
this could have caused mid-flight!

• Earlier this month, TSA screeners in Norfolk, Virginia pulled a teenage girl out of line for interrogation due to the gun she was carrying.  Well, to be honest she wasn't carrying a gun.  She was carrying a purse.  A Western-style purse.  With an image of a revolver on the side of it.  Seriously.  Here is the purse......   

• This was the scene last week at an Indiana mall......

No, those shoppers were not trampling each other and tearing doors from hinges to escape a crazed gunman, poison gas, or marauding grizzly bears.  They were breaking IN to the mall to buy $180 sneakers.  Guess what many of them will be doing next November?  That's right, voting for President of the United States.  God help us.

Gender Bending Shocker in Congress!

All this time, we thought that Congressman Frank (D-MA) pronounced his first name "Bawney" due to his Boston area accent.  New evidence this week suggests that perhaps the congressman has been pronouncing his actual first name, "Bonnie", correctly from the start.

If "his" first name is Bonnie, and "he" has a sexual preference for men, could "he" maybe in fact be...."she"?

 I know, I know, you think the Crew has finally gone off the rails for good with this one.  Not so fast, my tinfoil hat brethren!  I mentioned new evidence that has recently been, ahem, revealed about Congressman Frank.  Let's go directly to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives..................

Female First Name-  Check
Sexual Preference for Men- Check
Great Rack- Check

Ah Winnie,
 the stories you could tell!

For months, DNA researchers at SACSTW have been working around the clock to solve this mystery once and for all.  Using samples obtained from the Congressional cloakroom, our scientists have determined that Congressman Frank is the illegitimate daughter of Winston Churchill and Aunt Bea.  Other reports have suggested that Congressman Frank was named in honor of Aunt Beas's OTHER secret lover, Deputy Barney Fife.  These reports remain unsubstantiated at presstime.

Sorry Barney, I just had to have a little more fun with you before you sail off into the sunset.  I love you man!  Well, I don't love you like that you know.....I mean geez.....not that there's anything wrong with that......aw forget it.  Nice moobs.

The Race Card Is The Real "Last Refuge of a Scoundrel"

Here is a quiz brought to you by the Obama administration.....

Which of the following issues is the real reason that Obama Attorney General Eric Holder is under fire from the right?  Choose all that apply.

1. Holder's involvement in the Clinton Admininistration's last minute pardon of Democrat contributor and fugitive tax evader Marc Rich.
2. Holder recommended clemency for 16 members of the terrorist organizations FALN and Machateros as Clinton's Deputy Attorney General in 1999.
3. In 2008, Holder urged the Supreme Court to uphold the unconstitutional Washington DC handgun ban in D.C. v Heller, claiming that the Second Amendment does not protect an individual's right to keep and bear arms outside of a state run militia.
4. Holder gave a speech on February 18th, 2009 in which he proclaimed "the United States is a nation of cowards" when it comes to racial relations.
5. In May of 2009, Holder declined to pursue the case against members of the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation during the 2008 election, citing "a lack of evidence".  (personal note-  please, oh please let the New Black Panther Party show up at my polling place in November of 2012)
6. In November of 2009, Holder announced plans to bring 9/11 conspirators to New York for trial in the U.S. criminal court system.
7. Agents of Mr. Holder's Department of Justice supplied weapons to drug traffickers, weapons that have been used in hundreds of violent crimes, including the December 2010 murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
8. He's sueing the state of Arizona because they dare to try and take action against the overwhelming flood of illegal immigration that the Obama Administration has failed to address.
9. He opposes any attempts to reduce voter fraud through voter ID measures.
10. He's black.

Let's let Attorney General Holder give us the answer, from a Sunday NY Times article by Charlie Savage...

In the interview, Mr. Holder offered a glimpse of how he viewed the criticism. He said he thought some critics — like Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who favors allowing the military to handle terrorism suspects over the criminal justice system — are expressing “good faith” arguments about their policy disagreements.

But Mr. Holder contended that many of his other critics — not only elected Republicans but also a broader universe of conservative commentators and bloggers — were instead playing “Washington gotcha” games, portraying them as frequently “conflating things, conveniently leaving some stuff out, construing things to make it seem not quite what it was” to paint him and other department figures in the worst possible light.

Of that group of critics, Mr. Holder said he believed that a few — the “more extreme segment” — were motivated by animus against Mr. Obama and that he served as a stand-in for him. “This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him,” he said, “both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that we’re both African-American.”  (emphasis is mine)

Is it Stedman, is it the Attorney General?
  I don't think even Oprah  knows for sure!

Yep, you're right Mr. Holder.  All us crackers out here would be just fine with items 1-9 on the above list, if only you were white.  In the fine tradition of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Cornel West, Attorney General Holder is carving out a place of his own in the race-baiter hall of fame.  Do us all a favor, resign your office immediately and go back to just squiring Oprah around town.
