Baby Dies in Bucket of Mom's Vomit
Baby Dies in Bucket of Mom's Vomit

NEW YORK -- A baby died after rolling off a bed and falling into a bucket of her teenage mother's vomit at a homeless shelter, police said.
The mother, Savarin DeJesus, 18, was charged with criminally negligent homicide and endangering the welfare of a child, and could get five years behind bars.
The young woman trembled and wept as she faced a judge Friday. "I loved my baby. I want you to know that," she said.
Authorities said DeJesus spent the evening of Sept. 15 downing gin and smoking cigarettes and then returned before dawn to the shelter where she lived with the 4-month old girl, Niah.
DeJesus threw up into a bucket of cleaning solution next to her bed, then passed out on the bed, clutching Niah's legs, authorities said.
When she awoke about 10 hours later, she found the baby with her head in the bucket, which contained about six inches of liquid, according to court papers.
The cause of death was either asphyxiation or drowning, the medical examiner's office said.
DeJesus "loved her baby and would never hurt her," said her lawyer, Kenneth Gilbert.
The city's Department of Homeless Services said it was trying to determine if the East Harlem shelter had a crib.

GAS is cheap. Therefore, I love President Bush, again! YAY!
Forget all I’ve thought and said, those mistaken words about Bush as an idiotic, felonious, impeachable President! I can now fill up my SUV and take my spoiled white kids to an out of district school, because the local one is too crappy and black (sssshhhh, don’t tell anyone!). I love you President Bush! I was wrong to question you. I now see that I cut and run on you. I am so sorry for lapsing into an "Al Qaeda type" worldview. I don’t know what I was thinking when I supported the Fascists. How could I have ever blamed you for Katrina, warrantless wiretapping, shunting the Geneva Conventions, the Kyoto Protocols, Stem Cell research, establishing energy policies that shaft the citizens and fatten the corporate fat cats, intelligence failures on 9/11, misleading the country to invade another, ignoring military advice not to invade, poorly arming our troops (not to mention skipping out on military service during Vietnam), giving up the hunt for Bin Laden, failing to fire Donald Rumsfield over these mistakes, disclosing the identity of a CIA agent working under cover, dropping the ball on Iran and North Korea, and spending more time on vacation than in the Oval Office.
Oh, goodness, this is all much too much for my fat suburban ass. All I know is that gas is cheap, and I’m staying the course!

Researchers identify 'male warrior effect' [HITHERTO NEVER PERCEIVED IN THE HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION]
NORWICH, England (Reuters) -- Men may have developed a psychology that makes them particularly able to engage in wars, a scientist said on Friday. [THIS "MAY HAVE" SEEMS FISHY TO ME....]
New research has shown that men bond together and cooperate well in the face of adversity to protect their interests more than women, which could explain why war is almost exclusively a male business, according to Professor Mark van Vugt of the University of Kent in southern England. [OK, HOLD ON RIGHT THERE, YOU CRAZY SCIENTIST WITH YOUR PURPORTED "NEW RESEARCH." WAR AN EXCLUSIVELY MALE BUSINESS? TALK ABOUT RUSHING TO CONCLUSIONS! WHERE'S THE BEEF IN THIS BUN?]
"Men respond more strongly to outward threats, we've labeled that the 'man warrior effect'," he told the British Association for the Advancement of Science meeting. [DON'T TRY TO DRESS THIS UP WITH FANCY PHRASEOLOGIES. "WE'VE LABELED THAT THE ‘BLAH BLAH BLAH EFFECT'." WHATEVER! WE NEED EVIDENCE!]
"Men are more likely to support a country going to war. Men are more likely sign up for the military and men are more likely to lead groups in more autocratic, militaristic ways than women," he added. [WHAT'S THIS "MORE LIKELY" MALARKY? I SEE NO EVIDENCE THAT MEN ARE "INTO" WAR. I'M SENSING THE "LIBERAL MEDIA" HERE WISHING TO BASH MEN! NOW THERE'S A WARRIOR EFFECT FOR YA!]
Van Vugt said the finding is consistent with results from different behavioral science disciplines [BUT LARGELY INCONSISTENT WITH HISTORICAL RESEARCH AND COMMON SENSE. . . . B-U-L-L-Y-E-A-H!].
In experiments with 300 university men and women students, Van Vugt and his team gave the volunteers small sums of money which they could either keep or invest in a common fund that would be doubled and equally divided. None of the students knew what the others were doing. ["EE VILL KONDUKT AN EX-SPEARMINT BECAUS EE HAVE A NO-SHUN."]
Both sexes cooperated in investing in the fund. But when the groups were told they were competing against other universities, the males were more eager to invest rather than keep their money while the number of women contributing remained the same. ["THIS IS THE EYE IN THE SKY SPEAKING: YOU ARE COMPETING WITH OTHER GROUPS. COMPETING. COMPETING. KILL. KILL."]
"We all know males are more aggressive than females," Van Vugt said, adding that co-operation is needed to establish institutions and governments and to wage wars. [PHOOEY. ROYAL WE, SHMOYAL WE. WHAT'S COPRATION?]
"Male co-operation is a double-edged sword," he added.
[SO SAITH THE LARD.]

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with Mike Wallace: The 60 Minutes Interview (Unedited)
Update, yep: CBS fucking sucks: "This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner CBS Corporation because its content was used without permission." Is permission all that's needed, or is a buttload of money necessary? The protection of CBS's content means more than the education of a viewing public over which they claim proprietary rights in their dissemination of confected programing, the trite bells and whistles of retarded non news reports. Is it not enough that the hoary Mike Wallace (who, btw, desperately needs to study world history) and the name "60 Minutes" is all over the fucking video when it is posted on youtube? How is that an illegal transmission if it's not reproduced for profit but instruction? SOME WAY TO REALIZE THE LIBERATING POTENTIAL OF THE MEDIA!
. . . .anyway, go HERE for the video.
I’m with UK’s deputy prime minister, John Prescott: "Bush is crap." I’d add: our president is a fraction of the statesman, orator, and dare I say genius in realpolitik, global polity, and common sense Ahmadinejad is. If you think you are supposed to be pissed off at Bush YET still somehow frightened at what the supposed lunatic, terrorist President of Iran might do, then think again, because your feelings are only those – feelings, shaped by the same idiotic neo-con point of view that has Ahmadinejad spinning on the Axis of EVIL; feelings, that are no better than the most trite of bumper stickers. You are hereby contractually obligated to view this unedited interview of Ahmadinejad, conducted by Mike Wallace, a senescent dolt in his own right, as you will soon see. If you don’t view these, you are cheating yourself, your mind, your claim to any sort of critical intelligence, and – dare I say – your own right to citizenship.

How To Wait Your Turn at McDonald's, and Why Your Stupid Ass Should
[Update: the story below has now been picked up by the national media AFTER it was declared here first on GOLDBLACKDEVILHEAD as news worthy and ontologically indicative. GBDH supposes that a certain local server is crashing right about now.]
I love this story, included below, for three reasons.
First, it communicates the utter pettiness of humanity and its desire to eat the filth and death that McDonalds serves. Commentary enough.
Second, hurray for the "disgruntled McDonald’s customer" for acting against the Thomases’ utter lack of civic respect. You don’t dart ahead of people, or cut in line: THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE WORLD BESIDES YOU. Likewise, if you are waiting in line for a movie and another ticket window opens up, you allow those ahead of you to walk up to it; if a self-checkout lane at Kroger opens up, the person waiting in front of you proceeds to it before you. Why do not people understand this? If a Jeep running you down is the consequence of your inability to bear an ounce of social conscience, would you behave better? I wish to slap your kids on the airplane and make the world a better place. I digress.
Third, hurray for Alberto Gonzales, our nation’s Tourniquet General. He may well have a good case for torture in the "disgruntled McDonald’s customer," who demotes herself to subhumanity and has a road rage freak out in a fucking parking lot. She does not qualify as a "person" according to any post-Enlightenment manifesto I've read. One is guaranteed to get no "information" from this suspect apart from the fact that she is a moron in the ninetheenth-century sense of the term.

Headline: Woman sought after hitting patrons with car at restaurant
Police still were searching Sunday for a disgruntled McDonald's customer who ran into two other customers with her car after a dispute over who was next in line to order breakfast.
At about 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Melinda Ann Thomas, 34, and Linda Ann Thomas, 51, were standing in a crowded line at the McDonald's on Gaines School Road waiting to order breakfast, according to police. When a cashier opened a new line, they zipped to the front of it - a move that drew the ire of at least one customer waiting for her chance at a McGriddle that morning. According to the report, an unidentified woman, who had been in front of the Thomases in the original line, started yelling at them for cutting in line and threatened to kill them for the offense.
The woman, who was described as white with brown hair in her mid-20s, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds, left the restaurant before the Thomases and stayed in the parking lot, sitting in her dark blue Jeep Cherokee, according to witnesses cited in the report. The vehicle's license plate number was not noted in the report, but witnesses said the Jeep had fog lamps.
As the Thomases made their way to their car, witnesses said the woman pulled out of her parking space, backed up and then sped toward the ladies - striking them both with the passenger side of the Jeep. According to the report, neither victim was injured severely.
The woman now is being sought by police on charges of aggravated assault.

Howard Dean & Katherine Harris Stalin
BOO FUCKING HOO, you Republican pussies, and fuck you, for whimpering when Howard Dean says anything with balls. You always do. Last time you all complained when Dean spoke truthfully in saying that the GOP was "pretty much a white Christian party." And you heard my fulmination, backed up by facts that your party is as white as the fish belly, half as appealing, and twice as slimey.
Now here’s the latest. The DRUDGE HEADLINE – "Compares FL GOP candidate Katherine Harris to Stalin..." – links to this shitty newspaper, quoting Dean as saying: "She doesn't understand that it’s…improper to be chairman of a campaign and count the votes at the same time. This is not Russia and she is not Stalin."
Um, wait, she is NOT Stalin? Musn’t be a "comparison," then. Why isn’t there a headline that Dean "compares" the USA to "Russia?" IT IS BECAUSE HE DOESN’T.
Look, GBDH realizes that literary analysis is beyond the brief of the mainstream conservative media, and that irrelevant Latin rhetorical terms like occupatio mean nothing to the suburban SUV driving masses who mysteriously have the right to vote. But the point here is about a thing called, um, THE LAW, and Dean’s point is that, yeah, it took the Supreme Court of Activist Judges to rewrite the law (governing recounts in Florida) and appoint their ass fucked wit of a friend George Bush as president – with the help of Madam Katherine Harris Stalin, whose facelift is bested by Nefertiti's to this day.
Let's take...
THE GOLD PLEDGE: Democrats, if you want our votes, you must pledge to STOP FUCKING APOLOGIZING for the mean things you say about dumbass, corrupt Republicans. STOP IT! WHO GIVES A FUCK IF REPUBLICANS COMPLAIN? LET THEM.
Next on GBDH... Why Israel negotiates with the terrorists after all!

Bush’s Lame Language Games
Concerning Bin Laden’s latest audio message, our Thief in Chief says: "If authentic, the tape demonstrates yet again that bin Laden and al-Qaida continue to use the media to justify their dark vision and war against humanity." What’s interesting is this new twist, "the media," a phrase that often means, well, "the media" as we know it, not some stupid ass hand held audio cassette recorder in the mountains of Pakistan.
Sounds like Bush is redefining terms for the election. Sounds like Bush has accepted the sage advice of the recently outed plagiarist, Anne Coulter (see her column of 6.28.06), who suggests that the New York Times committed treason in disclosing what everyone already knew: that the Bush administration authorized the combing of bank records world wide in search of terrorist transactions.
It’s the stupidest sort of Republikkkan language game, but works very well with the equally stupid voter who has the attention span the size of Cheney's retracted Dick. Just keep saying the phrase, "the media," "the media," "the media," and morons nationwide will accept this trash as truth much like "WMD," "WMD," "WMD" or "Saddam Hussein/9-11," "Saddam Hussein/9-11," "Saddam Hussein/9-11" or "cut and run," "cut and run," "cut and run." The word media is really SCARY.
Sure, the media sucks, but that’s why we have GOLDBLACKDEVILHEAD.

FUCK THE SPACE SHUTTLE ONCE & FOR ALL FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
"Hey guys, let’s go on a road trip from Georgia to California in my shitty ass car that’s over THIRTY YEARS OLD and has FOAM flying off left and right. Nevermind that my other two cars of the same exact model either EXPLODED not two miles outta my neighborhood or INCINERATED as I was pulling into the driveway. WE MUST USE THIS VEHICLE! COME ON!"
Fuck that shit.
Fuck that shit.
