Lieutenant John Pike, the UC Davis cop who became famous after dousing Occupy protesters with pepper spray, was awarded $38,055 today for “psychological injuries” he suffered when he was exposed for his actions.

So, I made a rape joke the other day, comparing rape to taxation, and surprisingly enough, a bunch of people freaked out.

I tend to think that when you force millions of children to spend 8 hours a day in prisons, and tell them that this will continue into early adulthood, whether…...
Imagine a world where millions of people put their entire lives onto a hand held electronic device. A device that was constantly connected to a vast global computer network infested with government agents and other criminals, doing absolutely nothing to protect their data.
