Say again, Mejico?  See us where???

Y'know, it's outrageous enough that we have asshats like LU(L)LAC and the Mejican-Americano  (a little Spanish lingo, there) Legal Defense Fund trying to thwart the will of the people by going to court to get what they can't get at the polls.

But when the country of Mejico  (a little more Spanish lingo, there) threatens to get in on the act...it might be time to remind the fuckheads South Of The Border™ that they lost  the Mexican-American war, and to kindly keep sus narices  out of our sovereignty, por favor.

Mexican officials said Thursday they may complain to an international human rights tribunal if U.S. courts fail to overturn Arizona's Proposition 200.

Oh, yeah - like we're gonna pay attention to some half-assed pissweasel international tribunal.  YeahRight™.

A human rights expert said such a complaint could have little impact, since such courts have limited power over the United States.

And the talking head would be spot-on.  The days of the One World Government and the Antichrist/False Prophet aren't here just quite yet.

A foreign ministry spokesman on Thursday confirmed comments about the case made by Luis Ernesto Derbez, Mexico's top diplomat, during a radio show earlier this week.

"We are looking at all legal means in the United States, and if that fails, we could look to an international body - that was the context," said spokesman Edgar Trujillo. Derbez did not specify which international court, Trujillo said.

I got a better idea, dumbass:  How about you keep sus narices  out of business that doesn't concern you, hm?

The comments came as activists in Arizona are challenging Proposition 200 in court, and as opposition politicians accuse Mexican President Vicente Fox's government of doing too little to stop the law.

"Doing too little"???  Has anyone bothered to tell these damnfools that HEADS OF OTHER STATES DON'T HAVE ANY STANDING IN OUR COURTS?!?!?!

Great Cthulu™, what are these people smoking?

The Mexican government has provided "moral support" but has not contributed any money to the legal challenge filed by the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund, said Danny Ortega, a Phoenix attorney who is helping the group with the lawsuit.

How appropriate is it that a dumbass lawyer with the same name as our favorite former Nicuraguan Sandinista Communist shitheel is helping a bunch of treasonous fuckwits overturn a perfectly good law?

Give yourself a pat on the back, Danny-boy.  Oh, but please accept this dagger as a token of my esteem first.

Proposition 200 requires Arizonans to prove their U.S. citizenship when registering to vote, and to provide proof they are legal residents when applying for certain state benefits. State employees who fail to report undocumented immigrants face a possible $750 fine and four months in jail.

In other words, if you're not a citizen of this country, you have no say in how we choose our leaders.  And the problem with that is...what again?  Other than the fact that it might prevent Demoscum from importing votes from across the border?

Oh, I'm sorry.  Did I put my finger on it?  Small wonder that a whiny bunch of liberal shits are screaming bloody murder about it.

Derbez says the law could encourage racial discrimination.

If I wanted to, fuckface, I could "encourage" racial discrimination, too.  Whether you like it or not, I have that right under Article I of the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution.  Look it up.

Now, if any actual  racial discrimination were to occur...well, that'd be a bit different.  But I don't see any discrimination in the explanation of the law, does anyone else?  I don't see where it says that only brown-skinned people will have their IDs checked exclusively.

In fact, the only people to which this law refers are Arizonans.  Texans, for example, can't vote in Arizona elections.  Hey, I'm discriminated against!!!  CALL AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL!!!!!

In recent weeks, he has said repeatedly that the Mexican government is helping activists challenge the law.

It's a damned shame I'm not the President.  Were that the case, and I found this to be true, I'd close that damned border so fast Vinny Fox's head would spin, and the fence that'd subsequently go up would be fuckin' electrified,  with a few hundred sharpshooters with AR-15s strategically placed along that border.

Thank your Aztec deities for small things, Vinny.

"We are seeking all the legal opportunities that exist, first using the legal capacities of the United States itself and {ellipsis}if that does not work, bringing it to international tribunals," The Associated Press quoted Derbez as saying in the radio interview.

Then again, if I were Bush, this Derbez pissant would be rotting in a US prison right about now, too, so...

It is unclear whether a ruling by an international tribunal would have any impact.

There are only a few international courts, and their jurisdiction and power over countries is limited, said James Ross, senior legal adviser for New York-based Human Rights Watch.

I'd like to cordially invite them to make a ruling and come try to enforce it, if they think they're such hot shits.

We'll have the rope and the lampposts prepped and ready.
Mike Tyson's next opponent...?

From the SpatulaGoddess - who, I'm convinced, has somehow swiped the SpatulaMuse™ (grin) - comes the Realm's nomination for Asshat Of The Year.

Namely, an Oklahoma state senator who - now that cockfightiing has been criminalized there - wants to replace the sharp artificial talons they previously placed on the combatants with...are you sitting down...?

...boxing gloves.

(And before we get into this...yes, Denizens - he's a Demoscum.  Figures, doesn't it?)

State Sen. Frank Shurden, a longtime defender of cockfighting, is suggesting that roosters be given little boxing gloves so they can fight without bloodshed. The proposal is in a bill the Democrat has introduced for the legislative session that begins Feb. 7.

Oklahoma voters banned cockfighting in 2002. The practice is still legal in Louisiana and New Mexico.

Oklahomans' tax dollars at work, Denizens.  The sad thing is that they'll probably wind up actually debating  this dumb-assed proposal, thereby wasting the hard-earned money of their consitutents.

"Who's going to object to chickens fighting like humans do? Everybody wins," Sen. Shurden said.

Removing the blood from the sport takes away the main argument animal rights groups have against cockfighting, [he added].

Yes, but it doesn't take away the main argument that Oklahoma's right-thinkers have against you, Shurden...that being that YOU'RE A FRIGGIN' DUMB-ASS!!!

"Let the roosters do what they love to do without getting injured," Shurden said.

Only if they get to tee off on you instead of each other, fuckhead.

Gamecocks would wear sparring muffs, which are padded gloves placed over their natural spurs.

"To me it answers everything. It saves the industry, takes blood sport out and generates revenue for Oklahoma," Shurden said.

Well, yeah - you could put it in Ringling Brothers, next to the bearded lady and the mud-wrestling midgets, and I s'pose it might make at least a coupla  bucks, anyway...

Shurden's legislation would create the Oklahoma Pari-mutuel Gamecock Boxing Act.

The Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission, which has jurisdiction over pari-mutuel horse racing, would have jurisdiction over this gamecock boxing. Shurden believes it could be incorporated into horse racing, providing the boxing between horse races. Some of the money earned from wagers on gamecock boxing matches would go to the state.

"I guarantee it would work," Shurden said of the nonlethal fighting of roosters.

Yeah, well - you'll pardon me if I don't look for it to make the halftime show at the Super Bowl anytime soon...
Have you noticed...?

...that we haven't heard a lot from these assclowns since the election???

Just sayin'.
