War on Christmas
Awww, just in time for the holidays, we have our own little Saddam at it again in Phoenix...throwing around Christianity like a weapon of mass destruction.

The only thing he hasn't done yet is hold a gun to everyone's head and force them to vote Republican. I suspect that will happen next November during the midterms.

Can you fucking believe this guy? :spank:



An Arizona sheriff who has never hesitated to do things differently has decided his jail could use some Christmas music. Sheriff Joe Arpaio has ordered religious music to be played all day every day for the rest of the month, including in offices, booking areas and jail cells.

He says he's not shy about spreading his Christmas spirit.

"I know there's controversy across the nation - there's a war against Christmas, ah, we can't say merry Christmas in the united…in the world anymore. What are we coming to? I am saying it,” said Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Maricopa County sheriff. “I am singing it. It's gonna be in this jail, and that's the way the ball bounces,"

2. So will he replace those black and white striped outfits
with green and white?

This guy has always sounded like a lunatic to me. Do the prisoners still sleep in tents?

5. Oh yes, still in tents
And the tents were probably manufactured by children in foreign sweat shops because I'm sure that's the only way the sheriff would want it!

4. The new face of torture in america.
If you ever heard the way jails use the intercom system, you know that it will come out distorted and garbbled. Plus the attack on the mind, not only having to listen to the music 8 to 12 hours a day, it also drives home the fact that your away from family and friends. Not to mention the people of other religions being forced to particapate in a chirsten holiday. But what do you expect from the Mengler of the south west, actual human compasion or something?

6. This is the same fuckwad that thinks it is just fine to serve rancid
bologna and moldy bread to inmates. He is a nutcase but he keeps his job cause he appeals to the "tough on crime" idea.

8. Yea and if you listen to him on TV and didn't know he
was a sheriff, you'd think to yourself this is some angry man who might go and shoot up a mall.
