How to determine if someone is a moron: a) they take Alice Walker seriously

Alice Walker, on her personal blog, has weighed in on the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the charge of murdering Treyvon Martin.

As is usual for her, Walker has nothing intelligent to contribute.

However, some people evidently think that by virtue of her having written an acclaimed novel, Walker is a person whose opinion should be valued.

Those people are idiots.

Alice Walker is a person who has expressed support for the deranged mental case, David Icke, and his demented ravings about alien reptiles controlling the Earth.

She repeated her insane idiocy in her blog post about Treyvon Martin in which she wrote: "if we are dealing with descendants of the Chitauri (See Credo Mutwa's informative teaching on the subject of the subject of cold blooded reptilian ancestry of some humans) [Walker's parenthetical notation] then we can expect more of what we are experiencing."

Here's some background on what Walker is talking about:

Credo Mutwa is a Zulu witch doctor who claims he was abducted by aliens.

A Chitauri - The Color Purple author Alice Walker thinks
this comic book creation controls the Earth

The Chitauri, whom Alice Walker referenced, are aliens that were the creation of Marvel Comics writers. They are a fictional race of extraterrestrial shapeshifters that appear in publications by Marvel Comics's alternative universe, Ultimate Marvel, in the limited series The Ultimates. They were created by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch. 

They also made an appearance in the recent blockbuster movie The Avengers as the space aliens who were the overlords of Thor's brother Loki.

So get this straight. Alice Walker, the author of The Color Purple, thinks that some fictional creatures invented by Marvel Comics are controlling the Earth.

Alice Walker is quite obviously, in the most charitable terms, delusional.

And if you take her seriously, about anything, you are a moron.

Bill Cosby says you can't prove George Zimmerman is a racist

"Let me just tell you this man," Cosby said. "See this racial stuff goes into a whole bunch of discussion which has stuff that you can't prove. You can't prove that somebody is a racist unless they come out and do the act that is found to be that."

(CBS News) JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Florida woman who fired warning shots against her allegedly abusive husband has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Marissa Alexander of Jacksonville had said the state's "Stand Your Ground" law should apply to her because she was defending herself against her allegedly abusive husband when she fired warning shots inside her home in August 2010. She told police it was to escape a brutal beating by her husband, against whom she had already taken out a protective order.

Satanists rally for Florida Governor Rick Scott

A group of self-proclaimed Satanists on Friday praised Florida Gov. Rick Scott for signing a bill into law last year that lets Florida school boards permit student-initiated prayer and other "inspirational messages."   

During their rally, a white sign with black lettering was stretched across the steps of Florida's Old Capitol proclaiming "Hail Satan! Hail Rick Scott!"

The weird look of crime in Orlando

It was just a minor open container charge
but I feel a lot safer knowing I won't
run into this guy at a Black Mass

Arrested for Grand Theft - anything less would be ironic

Orlando, Florida Station WKMG regularly publishes mug shots of people arrested locally.

This must be as big a tourist attraction for them as Walt Disney World

Arrested for prostitution:
"Arrgh, matey! I'll shiver yer timber
fer half a doubloon!"

"Are you lookin' at me funny?"

This guy (above) is my favorite..if you're going to intentionally
make yourself permanently look like The Riddler (below), you have to expect
the cops (or Batman) to pick you up

It saves criminal identification time when you wear police tape as a fashion accessory 

"C'mon - I needed the money to get my spaceship repaired so
 I can return to my home planet"

Now which Star Trek episode do I remember her from?

"You may not recognize me, which is why
I always carry an American Express Card..
and have words tattooed all over my face"

It might help your criminal career not to
advertise that you're a heroin dealer on
your forehead

And they come in women's versions too!

That giant neck tattoo sure makes it easy to pick 'em out of police line-ups

The good news is you don't have to be so afraid of being eaten by an alligtor in the Florida Everglades

The bad news is that's because they are being eaten by giant Burmese Pythons that have invaded the area.


Now it's python season!

A Democratic Strategist describes Obama's worst nightmare for 2012: Bush. JEB Bush

From Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg, a former Clinton administration official:

"Jeb [Bush] is married to a Latina, is fluent in Spanish, speaks on Univision as a commentator, his Spanish is that good," Rosenberg said of the former Florida governor and brother to the 43rd president during a lunch at NDN headquarters last week. "And if you look at the electoral map in 2012, you have to assume that Obama is going to have a very hard time in holding North Carolina and Virginia. The industrial Midwest, where the auto decline has been huge, has weakened Obama's numbers... a great deal. So Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin become a bit more wobbly. So if you're Barack Obama, the firewall is the Latin belt from Florida to southwestern California. And there is only one Republican who can break through that firewall. And it is Jeb."
