The data you posted is selective for violent crime...the data I posted is comprehensive....

This data includes property crime, such as burglary and motor vehicle theft, as well as violent crime, like murder and robbery. An index score of 100 is equal to the national crime rate, meaning that Memphis, for example, with an index of 361, has a crime rate more than three times the national average.


Bottom line is, to say that blue state cities are unique in crime is BS...there re plenty of southern cities that are just as bad. Note that NYC and LA are not on the list...the two states you chose to pick on.

Greatest Living President Is Also Fantastic Painter

by Rebecca Schoenkopf



Haha, we tricked you! We stole the title of this post from the upstanding fellows at the Washington Free Beacon, who are fucking idiots. They are such fucking idiots that they think the paintings of the greatest living president (GEORGE W. BUSH OBVS) look like the work of Degas and Manet! No, they look like Hockneys, MORANS. (Former professional art critic, yo.) (I am talking about me.)

We actually fairly like the ex-president’s work. They are naive, certainly, and kind of sweet! And just imagine if Jorge Boosh had just been a rich kid painting his nice little scenes all his life, botherin’ nobody, invadin’ no one, not breaking any countries foreign or domestic. Oh, Wonket Alternate Timeline (And Racism) Day, what a brain-treat you are.

We don’t even blame Ol’ Dry Drunk over there for holing up in his McMansion painting instead of doing anything worthy with his ex-presidency, because do-gooding is for Demrats, and also, a holed-up Bush isn’t causing anybody any trouble.

We’ll just consider him under house arrest.
