Saturday, April 9th, 2011- Atlanta cops appear to be lying about stopping Allen Iverson, impounding his car.
- Well okay, then.
- Oh come on, Reuters. Just use the word “taint”.
- Headline of the day.
- Runner-up.
- Now that I’ve been quoted in Adult Video News, I think can retire. I think this earns me some sort of achievement honor at my old fraternity.
- Vocabulary word of the day.
- In which Gary Busey gets into a heated argument with Meat Loaf (the man, not the comfort food) over some art supplies.
Wait, is that taint measurement from the center of the anus, or the edge?
“anogenital distance”
Huh huh, huh huh. Anogenital distance. Huh huh. Yeah, you’re right, Radley. I can’t see Beavis and Butthead using that term. I’d go with taint as well.
Adult Video News. Perhaps the only trusted news source left.
As someone pointed out on Twitter, the real thing to take away from this study is that there is someone out there whose job is to measure taints.
“Taint” must be one of those rare five-letter words.
You know, like “pussy” is in certain contexts.
Measuring anogenital distance may be an interesting job. But, I am wondering if there is a term for the distance between what’s written in a police report and the truth. I would suggest the person who measures that distance be called an agitator. :)
The correlation will be the same either way. You only really need to know the exact procedure when aggregating datasets.
“As you know, adult obscenity is not protected by the First Amendment,” the letter concludes.
Which is, of course, utter dogfucking bullshit. The Congress may have chosen to abrogate the First Amendment in the case of so called “obscenity”, just as they often choose to abrogate the Second Amendment in the case of “assault weapons” or other scenarios, but the mere fact that these amendments have been violated doesn’t mean that they do not actually protect what they so plainly state that they protect.
You’d have to be a total weaselsucking moron, or a member of Congress, to not be able to see that.
The problem with making an exception to the First Amendment for Obscenity is that once such an exception is made the State can then cram all kinds of speech it finds annoying into the Obscenity category.
Any curtailment of Liberty can be rationalized – if you can trust the State.
As to the “Drug Dealer’s Car”, I have to wonder if it belonged to somebody who has actually been convicted of a crime … or if it was simply seized from somebody who couldn’t get it back. And if the latter is the case, does the former owner have a case for libel?
perlhaqr:
not to mention a member of SCOTUS
innominate: That’s what I said, only I spelled it “weaselsucking moron”. ;)
Alternate verbiage “da gizzap” not a scientific taxonomy or genus mind you.
Taint no big thang baby
Imagine, the police are jealous of a rich Black person, hassle him, and then lie about it. Don’t forget, you do not have to be Black to get this treatment nor own a Lamborghini. A Porsche will do.
Vocabulary word of the day.
Be damned if I can figure out how to fit ‘petrichor’ into a conversation without having to define it.
Curious to see if the guy who shot at the robot will be hit with an assault on an officer charge.
I’m almost positive you used “petrichor” as a vocab word once before, like four years ago.
The anogenital link gives me an opportunity to post Mr. Show’s People Vs. Larry Flynt parody, Taint Magazine.
How can the AVN page not have pictures? What is this world coming to?
Come on, “taint” is a term only applicable to females. The term for men is “Choda”

You know, I bet if they found a single joint in the Lamborghini, they would have tried to seize it under the forfeiture laws. Not that they need a joint, but it would make it easier for them to defend it.

The surprising thing is they didn’t plant one.
@17–You’re right; Radley’s site is where I first learned that word. I try to use it in conversation at least once a week.
“Atlanta cops appear to be lying about stopping Allen Iverson, impounding his car.”
From the article…..”The public likely will not see a resolution about the accuracy of the police report or the underlying traffic violation though. Clisby said he won’t be fighting any of this in court. It’ll be less expensive to just pay the fine, he said.”
Curious. Maybe your tagline should have read, “Witnesses appear to be lying to media”. The accused must have heard about the LE videotape of the incident.
With the right strategy, Iverson could parlay this into elected office.
Everyone needs Iverson to fight the ticket. If the photo shows that the temporary registration was NOT expired, as the article states, then the car was illegally impounded (“illegally impounded” is pronounced “stolen by police”). Iverson should be able to force Atlanta to pay rental fees for it (I know of a case from 20+ years ago where a man forced the city of St. Petersburg Beach to pay rental on his Corvette, in similar circumstances). Iverson should squash the cop in question like a bug (via the courts, of course), get her fired, and make Atlanta PD pay rental fees ($4,000 per day) and attorney’s fees. If the abusers of government power don’t get punished, they just get worse.
“If the abusers of government power don’t get punished, they just get worse.”
quote of the day.
Epi – there are pics, just not for you. we know how you handle such pics.
“If the abusers of government power don’t get punished, they just get worse.”
You’re forgetting that the cops would be cleared after three months of paid vacation administrative leave and the taxpayers would foot the bill.
Hmm, so the s tag didn’t work. Does
strikework? The text should have read “three months of -paid-vacation- administrative leave”.I would like to know how to make a proper measurement. I mean, I don’t know where to start and stop. And where exactly is the bottom of the underside of the scrotum? I could see an error of up to an inch or so- kinda like other measurements.
“Curious. Maybe your tagline should have read, “Witnesses appear to be lying to media”. The accused must have heard about the LE videotape of the incident.”
Interesting. Government games the system to make it more expensive to fight false accusations than to just pay the penalties of those accusations, and you assume that anyone who pays those penalties rather than spending more money must really be guilty.
