The government of Australia has determined that they know best when it comes to web sites that the citizens should be allowed to view.  So they compiled a list of websites that ISPs must block.  A super secret list. 
Capsaicin on slashdot said it best:
It is arguable that there are some materials so objectionable that [...]

I don’t think so.

The San Francisco handgun ban squeeked by with a narrow 58% of the vote.  I’m actually surprised it did not pass by a wider margin since such a large portion of The City population is composed of hard-core, ultra-left, tree-hugging hippies who rarely possess even a simulation of a clue.
Supervisor Chris Daly, who proposed the [...]

In a split decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that the government can take private property under eminent domain not just for public projects such as roads, but also simply to give to a developer to make a more tax profitable strip mall.  Combined with their earlier decision that medical marijuana grown locally and never [...]

A judge in Indianapolis has taken it upon himself to ignore the First Amendment and interfere with a parent’s right to teach his own children their religion.  How is it possible for a judge this stupid and this narrow minded to remain on the bench?
For this outrageous and unlawful behavior, judge Cale J. Bradford is [...]

University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill first compared the World Trade Center victims to Adolf Eichmann, the notorious nazi organizer of the death camps. This, alone, was enough to earn him the Ass-hat of the Week Award.  Now he is suggesting that more terror attacks may be necessary to radicalize Americans to fight the misuse [...]

The sorry excuse for a journalist David Morgan of Reuters had this to say about the U.S.’s giantic aid package:
President Bush, under pressure over the pace and scale of American aid to Asian tsunami victims, abruptly raised the U.S. contribution tenfold to $350 million on Friday.

Pressure my ass.  The U.S. has always made an initial [...]

The Ass-Hat of the Week award goes to Hampton Academy Junior High Principal Fred Muscara for kicking a student out of a school holiday dance because the young boy was wearing a Santa suit.  I’m very much for separation of church and state, but this bullshit has gone way too far.  The full story [...]

Robert Corrigan, president of San Francisco State University, wins the coveted Asshat of the Week Award for his reaction to a mob attack against a campus Republican organization.
In his small minded reality, any action against an opposing viewpoint, including physical attacks and death threats, is just Free Speech, but simply defending yourself from these [...]

When I learn this asshole’s name I will definately post it.  This week’s Asshat award goes to the anonymous jerk on the left of the photo who, moments before, had torn up the little girl’s pro-Bush-Cheney sign.  Additional details at Little Green Footballs.

Rep. Jim McDermott (D,WA) said, “Everybody in this room who is 17 years old should know that the likelihood of a draft in a second Bush administration is almost a certainty.”
Congressman Jim “Fucktard” McDermott is co-sponsoring the bill, HR 163, to reinstate the draft.
This easily wins him the coveted title of Ass-Hat of the Week.

Burnt out, past his prime, former rock star living in the shadow of his prior overrated glory Paul McCartney announced that his latest concert series will be animal friendly and banned all meat eating and the wearing of leather apparel by the crew members.
Here’s a message Paul.  It’s ok for you to decide for [...]

This weeks award of Ass-Hat goes to Roger Young for his incredibly narrow minded, dim witted article, There’s a Difference Between Sacrifice and Stupidity.
One particular paragraph stands out:

Tillman, meanwhile, gave up an equally productive pursuit to follow a path of useless destruction–serving his government in the defense and expansion of the American Empire. There, his [...]

In the Salt Lake City Tribune Anwar Arafat wrote the piece Killing will beget killing which basically calls Ariel Sharon cowardly for ordering Ahmad Yassin’s death.  The extremely weak arguments put for by Mr. Arafat make him the latest recipient of the Ass-Hat of the Week Award.

For the first time in history, a [...]

Sometimes you hear of something so outrageous that you question the truthfulness of the initial report.  After verifying that it is indeed true, you wonder why public lynching has gone out of fashion.

Duke Philosophy Department Chair Robert Brandon publicly claimed in the student newspaper, The Chronicle, that conservatives are scarce in academia because stupid people are likely to be conservative.
For this outlandish statement, Robert Brandon is presented the Ass-Hat of the Week Award.
I thought the purpose of philosophy departments were to teach students how to think.  Since [...]

This week’s Ass-Hat award goes to Maureen Dowd of the New York Times for this lovely little statement:

Can you believe President Bush is still pushing the cockamamie claim that we went to war in Iraq with a real coalition rather than a gaggle of poodles and lackeys?

Her ridiculous statement insults 45 countries: Afghanistan, Albania, [...]

Brazilian Federal Judge Julier Sebastiao da Silva had this to say when signing a court order in his country:

I consider the act absolutely brutal, threatening human rights, violating human dignity, xenophobic and worthy of the worst horrors committed by the Nazis.

So what unspeakable horror is he referring to?  Perhaps the 300,000+ bodies found in [...]

I may have been too quick in choosing Amnesty International for the Ass-Hat of the Week Award.  In the last few days the Ass-Hats have been coming out of the woodworks in droves.  Their reactions to Saddam’s capture has been amusing, to say the least.  Honorable mentions go to:

The European Union, especially France, for somehow [...]

The Iraqi Governing Council and the Coalition Governing Council created a special tribunal a few days ago to deal with special crimes.  Just in time, too, since that evil rat-bastard Saddam was just captured.  Amnesty International has already condemned the tribunal because it was created without prior consultation with the Iraqi civil society or the [...]
