Russia’s foreign minister is calling for a freeze on child adoptions involving the United States after a Tennessee woman who adopted an eight-year-old boy helped put him on a flight back to Russia by himself, with a note saying she didn’t want to take care of him anymore.
You return your impulse buys to Wal-Mart when your credit runs dry, return your puppy to the pound if you decide you’d rather not deal with it… Why not imported children?
Ho Ho Ho, Motherfuckers.
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — Dressed as Santa, Bruce Jeffrey Pardo walked up to his ex-in-laws’ home in Covina, California, on Christmas Eve and knocked on the door.
An 8-year-old girl, elated to see Santa, ran toward the door.
That’s when, police say, Pardo lifted a gun and shot her in the face.
Pardo, 45, with a gun in one hand and a wrapped present in the other, began shooting indiscriminately, police said at a news conference Thursday.
He sprayed the living room with bullets.

Read the story.
Or, the short version: A brilliant woman walked into the snowy winter to get some groceries, only to disappear into a snow drift in some field somewhere and nearly die. Leave it to CNN to not even attempt to explain this. Instead, the focus on her “miraculous” rescue, 3 days later. Doctors say she survived because her body was insulated by the snow she somehow found herself under.
What her husband says about this is curious to me:
My wife, you know, doesn’t pump iron. She is strong physically and spiritually,” he said. “When people say to me how do I explain how she survived, I said I believe God reached down and cradled her until the rescuers could find her, because there’s no rational explanation.
If you read the story, you’ll notice that his statement is immediately followed by this:
In addition to hypothermia, Donna Molnar is being treated for severe frostbite, and her recovery will take months.
Heh. The All-Knowing All-Seeing All-Powerful God-That-Can-Do-Anything reached down and cradled her, but allowed her body to dip into hypothermia, and get severe frostbite that will take “months to recover from”. That’s some awesome God. Maybe he was just being an asshole. I hope God never comes to “cradle” me, allowing me to wander off into a field to die and then leaving me with severe injuries. What a jerk.
The crime scene.
From MSNBC:
NEW YORK – Police were reviewing video from surveillance cameras in an attempt to identify who trampled to death a Wal-Mart worker after a crowd of post-Thanksgiving shoppers burst through the doors at a suburban store and knocked him down.
Criminal charges were possible, but identifying individual shoppers in Friday’s video may prove difficult, said Detective Lt. Michael Fleming, a Nassau County police spokesman.
Other workers were trampled as they tried to rescue the man, and customers stepped over him and became irate when officials said the store was closing because of the death, police and witnesses said.
“When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling `I’ve been on line since yesterday morning,’” she said. “They kept shopping.”
PHOENIX, Arizona (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday permanently barred Arizona from using a state law to prosecute an online merchant who sells shirts that list names of thousands of troops killed in Iraq.
But that’s not all. Get this:
The ACLU is also defending Frazier in a lawsuit filed in federal court in Tennessee by a couple whose soldier son was killed in Iraq. Robin and Michael Read of Greeneville have asked that their case be expanded to cover more than 4,000 casualties and seek more than $40 billion in damages.
a FUCKEDNATION original commentary
February 28, 2007
Today, Boise Idaho’s KTVB News reported that five junior high and high school students from the town of Sweet drowned in icy water after their Ford Tempo slid off a slippery turn in the road and plunged to the bottom of a small pond. Grief counselors are on hand at the students’ schools, ready to help friends of the students deal with the loss of their classmates. Gem County Commissioner Michele Sherrer said, “The community’s prayers are with the family.”
What a terrible, unfortunate accident. Five young people with their entire lives ahead of them, dying such a horrible death, trapped in a car under freezing water. How can this be explained? How could God let this happen? What part of His divine plan for us is this, to sacrifice five kids? For what?
I wonder if the parents, friends, and community are asking these questions. What a cruel, mean God. Why did He do this? Were these kids evil agents of Satan? Why do these children, their families, community, and friends deserve such heartless punishment? Everything happens for a reason, right?
Not really. The families are active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They were found dead with open bibles. They died with the loving word of God so close to them, yet He blatantly failed to protect them. God is omnipotent and he loves every one of us, but he has the occasional knack for mass-murder, molestation, genocide, and everyone once in a while, letting a car full of kids die.
It’s pretty simple, folks. There is no God.
How much evidence is necessary? All the prayer in the world won’t save a single soul. These people can pray all year, and they won’t be any closer to understanding why some people live and others die horrible deaths.
They won’t be any closer to knowing why over 4,000 Catholic priests have been accused of sexual abuse.
They won’t be any closer to understanding why nearly six million Jews were exterminated from 1933-1945.
God won’t tell them why seven million Ukrainians died between 1932 and 1933. Or why nearly a million Rwandans fell victim to genocide in 1994.
God doesn’t care about the victims of starvation, AIDS, rape, murder, genocide, or anything else. He’s not up there, He’s not listening to your prayers, and He doesn’t have any answers as to why bad things happen to innocent human beings.
When five of His children left the roadway and plunged to their deaths, God did not send a miracle.
Nor has He ever.
Was God able to save these innocent lives, but not willing? Then he is a lazy, unjust, or bitter God. Was God willing to save these lives, but not able? Then God is not omnipotent. How many nights are we going to ask Him for help, when He refuses?
Let’s stop praying for salvation and start saving ourselves. It sounds to me as if we need less prayer and more guardrails.
A couple accused of praying instead of seeking medical care as their 11-year-old daughter died of diabetes asked a judge Tuesday to dismiss the charges as unconstitutional.
Dale and Leilani Neumann pleaded not guilty to second-degree reckless homicide through their attorneys during a brief appearance before Marathon County Circuit Judge Vincent Howard.
The attorneys also filed a motion claiming the charges should be dismissed because the law is “unconstitutionally vague” as it applies to the allegations in the complaint. The motion contends the charges unconstitutionally infringe on the parents’ right to freely exercise their religion and their “liberty interest” to rear their children.
Leilani Neumann, 40, has said the family believes in the Bible, which says healing comes from God, and she never expected her daughter to die as they prayed for her. The parents told investigators Kara had not been to a doctor since she was 3.
According to the criminal complaint, Dale Neumann, 46, considered his daughter’s illness “a test of faith,” and Leilani Neumann thought her daughter was under a “spiritual attack” that could be overcome with prayer.
Prosecutors contend Kara could not speak, eat, drink, walk or breathe easily for about 48 hours before her death — enough time for the parents to seek medical help. The parents failed in their legal duty to care for the child, prosecutors allege.
Second-degree reckless homicide is punishable by up to 25 years in prison.
Good luck with that, idiots. God isn’t going to help you in prison, either.
More than half of randomly surveyed adults — 57 percent — said God’s intervention could save a family member even if physicians declared treatment would be futile.
When asked to imagine their own relatives being gravely ill or injured, nearly 20 percent of doctors and other medical workers said God could reverse a hopeless outcome.
“Sensitivity to this belief will promote development of a trusting relationship” with patients and their families, according to researchers. That trust, they said, is needed to help doctors explain objective, overwhelming scientific evidence showing that continued treatment would be worthless.
That’s funny; the objective, overwhelming scientific evidence presented to theists about evolution, the age of the earth, the efficacy of prayer, etc. has thus far been ignored by the devoutly delusioned. Why would they believe a doctor?
ExxonMobil second quarter profits have set another US record for highest profit generated in one quarter… but really, there is a shortage of crude oil causing price increases, and we need to drill off-shore as soon as we can! We promise! Thanks, all you little people out there!
$11,680,000,000 in 3 months. Whew! Go buy an SUV in celebration.
Not content with starving, shooting, bombing, and murdering Palestinians with nerve gas, Zionist forces are now silencing the voice of Palestinians by forcing the Hamas website and forums offline by manipulating ties with Russian officials and putting pressure on the Russian firm hosting the site. According to the following Hamas statement, they are not deterred, and FUCKEDNATION looks forward to having the voice of Palestinian people back on the internet soon:
“Our engineers are working for re-opening Al Qassam website to the World Wide Web soon and we would say that these attacks and harassments will not deter us from continuing our electronic resistance and delivering the voice and the Palestinian resistance, which defends the Palestinian people, and it is striving to recover the usurped rights, because we are aware that the battle media battle is as important as the battle field with the Zionist occupation.”
So much for free speech. The multi-pronged attack on the Palestenian people includes this media war. If you are committing genocide and crimes against humanity, you wouldn’t want your victim to be able to tell the story to the world, would you?
As you may have heard, food manufacturers and processors have been blaming increased energy costs on the recent spike in the cost of food. It appears that this is a thinly veiled lie, as evidenced by this recent news story from the Wisconsin State Journal. Kraft Foods, the largest food and beverage maker in the nation has reported a second-quarter profit increase of 4% (with retail price increases accounting for more than 7% of the quarter’s gain in overall revenue), hardly indicating tough times for manufacturers and processors facing “increased costs”. Thanks for ripping us off while lying about justification. Worst of all, the people who are hurt the most by this behavior are the folks who could hardly afford to pay for food in the first place. Thanks a lot, Kraft.
The company has been raising prices and will continue to do so in the third quarter, she said.
Cheese prices are now 6 percent to 33 percent higher than they were a year ago, executives said, with the highest increase in natural cheese. But the price increases helped revenue rise 10 percent in the cheese category in the quarter.
To me, $732,000,000 in pure profit generated in only 3 months of record high food prices doesn’t sound like they are suffering from the rising cost of fuel, it sounds like a criminal offense. Don’t bother calling your state representatives though, they’ve already been paid for.
In the United States, about 40% of the population will fall below the poverty line within a 10 year time span.
In 2006 the poverty rate for minors in the United States was the highest in the industrialized world, with 21.9% of all minors and 30% of African American minors living below the poverty threshold.
The standard of living for those in the bottom 10% was lower in the U.S. than in any other developed nation except the United Kingdom, which had the lowest standard of living for impoverished children.
20% of Americans lack functional literacy skills.
89% of American households have steady access to food.
Three drunk drivers crashed their vehicles all at the same intersection within a two hour period.
The world population increases by 211,090 individuals every day. Livia and Alexandru Ionce of Abbotsford, British Columbia are certainly doing their part to accelerate the rape of the earth by the human species. As usual, we can thank God for giving us that helpful kick in the face we needed as we struggle to flush our planet down the toilet as quickly as possible.
“We never planned how many children to have. We just let God guide our lives, you know, because we strongly believe life comes from God and that’s the reason we did not stop the life,” said Alexandru Ionce.
CNN, always first to cover late-breaking news, has suddenly determined that minimum-wage workers are having a tough go of it out there.
$6.55 per hour not enough for rent, food, transportation
No shit?
US Army wrongfully convicts 28 black soldiers during WWII, waits until all but two of them die, then apologizes.

So this fellow got pissed off with his lawnmower, went in the house, brought out his shotgun, and blasted the thing in his yard. Now he’s facing serious criminal charges.
“I’ll tell you the truth,” a criminal complaint quotes an apparently inebriated Keith Walendowski. “I got pissed because my lawn mower wouldn’t start, so I got my shotgun and shot it. I can do that. It’s my lawn mower and my yard, so I can shoot it if I want,” Walendowski told police.
I’d have to agree with him. Apparently having nothing better to do, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel’s award winning reporters headed for the nearest lawn equipment dealership to interview the owner.
Dick Wagner of Wagner’s Garden Mart, 6075 N. Green Bay Ave.in Glendale, said shooting the mower didn’t help Walendowski’s odds of getting it repaired. “Anything not factory recommended would void the warranty,” he said.
Come on. Police: fight real crime. Reporters: Investigate real news. Apparently the folks at the Journal-Sentinal think they work for The Onion. Of all the people they could have interviewed… the police, the guy’s mother, a neighbor, Mr. Walendowski himself… no… they had to go down to the lawnmower shop. It’s not funny.
What do you think… Is six years and nine months enough time for him to think about what he has done to his poor lawnmower? Another scrap of human food for the hungry Prison-Industrial monster!
