The three police officers are accused of posting sexually explicit photos and comments about the 74-year-old Walsh, as well as racist jokes about President Barack Obama on their Facebook pages.
If you are a police officer and want to spread racist, sexist jokes about your boss (the Town Supervisor of Harrison, NY) and the President of the United States, don’t do it on Facebook. You might get caught.
I must admit I missed the whole Rick Santelli rant on CNBC this week. Most of my neighbors are Wall Street types who probably agree with Santelli. However I’ll go with John Amato of Crooks and Liars,
Santelli needs to own that he is the loser and if it wasn’t for the gasbag insider crowd that gives his words a modicum of respect, crowds would gather outside his home with torches and pitchforks.
I’m sick of these clowns on CNBC daring to lecture the rest of us on responsibility. They were the ones who put us in this mess to begin with. In any decent, self-respecting country, we’d be lining these chucklebutts up against a wall right about now.
Chris Brogan points to one of my biggest social media pet peeves of 2008. It’s those annoying ‘thanks for following me’ auto-responders on Twitter.
You don’t need to use robots to thank me and click on your stupid website. If you’re too busy to be an actual human on a social network, don’t join another social network. It’s okay. We understand. Lots of people think Twitter is stupid.
Agreed. I’m following you because I figured I’d return the courtesy. Not because I’m interested in finding success, losing weight, buying real estate, finding Jesus or sharing Fantasy Football picks. If that’s all you see in social media – a transaction – then please move on.
Considering the news, and considering it happened right next door to one of their stores, do you think the brain trust at JC Penny could come up with a better way of hyping their pre-Christmas sales than to refer to them as ‘Doorbusters?’
