NATO Airstrikes Pummel Qaddafi Compound for Third Time in Days

Monday, April 25 2011, TRIPOLI - NATO warplanes sent thundering explosions through Tripoli this morning as they struck and destroyed buildings for the third time in days at Colonel Qaddafi's compound which in earlier days has been stuck by missiles in concrete bunkers just outside its walls. Reporters brought to see the damage by the Libyan government reported the rubble of charred buildings did not appear to house any kind of sensitive military command or weaponry. One bombed building from which twisted cables and wires protruded was kept at a distance from reporters.
     Ninth Amendment military analysts who rely mostly on free Google neighborhood searches to gather much more accurate evidence than military intelligence from ground agents, satellites, aerial views or drones conclude from their analysis of precision viewings that Colonel Qaddafi and his command are most likely not just milling in and around the compound waiting for the next bomb or missile barrage. Meanwhile Libyan government officials expressed concern that the air attacks are simply antagonizing extremist groups who then will make plans to carry out clandestine attacks after infiltrating Western countries.
      Although President Obama, the one-time "pacifist"-oriented Democrat who replaced George "little shrub" Bush on promises of wholesale policy changes, has inexplicably without apparent success once again further okayed the spread of the use of armed drones in Libya and a growing number of other global locations for various phony "wars" which the United States mostly has created itself. The drone has established itself as one of Mr. Obama's very favorite methods of conducting the warfare and other Bush policies which Obama promised to reject but has actually virtually wholeheartedly embraced in most policy areas during his first term.
     The Ninth Amendment Google and late-night quality pizza reconnaissance desk has joined the cry of Ninth Amendment management and other staff that readers absolutely not READ THE DIGITAL NEW YORK TIMES FOR FREE SIMPLY BY SETTING THEIR FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING".

Cheney Blackwater "Black Death" Contractors Again on the Way to Death Trial

Friday, 23 April 2011, WASHINGTON - The Ninth Amendment sincerely hopes that you are NOT FAILING TO PAY FOR YOUR DIGITAL SUBSCRIPTION TO THE NEW YORK TIMES SIMPLY BY SETTING YOUR FIREFOX BROWSER TO "PRIVATE BROWSING". Sources tell the Ninth Amendment that the Justice Department is overjoyed that the former Vice President Dick Cheney contractors that made Cheney rich while in office helping orchestrate "President" George "little shrub" Bush's "Mission Accomplished" war in Iraq using the company that Cheney formally ran to get sweetheart contracts, do sub-standard work, and bilk the United States of millions of defense dollars while Cheney served as Vice-President, are once again in the hot seat for mass-murder.
     On Friday the United States Court of Appeals reversed the Federal District Court and ruled that four of the contractors for the former "Blackwater Worldwide", which changes its name every few years when it commits too many atrocities and crimes, now popularly known as "Black Death", must face charges for killing 17 Iraqi civilians in cold blood while horrified Iraqis and American soldiers holding their fire watched in horror. The Cheney "Black Death" contractors at the time claimed that the mass murder captured on video was all a "big misunderstanding".
     Mr. Cheney, who is rumored to have been living on the transplanted heart of a hog since sometime before his election as Vice-President is believed still to be alive and doing all he can to rip off the United States and to suppress live video of the murders by his "Black Death" lackeys on the grounds of some new " retroactive executive privilege" which he was an expert at creating while he ran the country during George "little shrub" Bush's frequent and lengthy naps. Mr. Bush had no comment as he is reported to be somewhere in Latin America learning to speak English as a second language and meanwhile advised not to try to speak anymore in English so his father can find him some job, any job.

New York Police Union Defends "Ticket-Fixing" as Officers' Courtesy

Saturday, 23 April 2011, NEW YORK - In the wake of what has been reported as "news" although it has probably been happening for about a century, New York City police and government officials expressed shock that New York police officers' fix tickets by making them disappear in the arcane process by which they travel from traffic violation back through the police station. Now they will be filled out with about six carbon copies
     Surprisingly, a spokesman defended the practice as merely a "courtesy" to which police officers had long been entitled. (This statement quickly disappeared from later reports of the story). As to police and government officials to express any kind of surprise appears just possibly disingenuous since they, along with the allegedly ticket offenders who pay bribes, no doubt have long been beneficiaries of the process. The fact however is that police it is pointed out can "fix tickets" by simply skipping the hearings of those that they have ticketed. Although they do have to take a "sick day". Alternatively, it is pointed out that police can show up at the hearing and simply "forget" the circumstances to establish the requisite evidence.
      This technique, known as the "I cannot recall" strategy, was perfected by President Ronald Reagan. It must be comforting to New Yorkers that their police officers who may be prosecuting crimes that were perpetrated against citizens, may, in spite of their police training, forget essential facts so that the charges must be dismissed, say in an aggravated assault, manslaughter, rape, or murder case, for example.
      We at the Ninth Amendment have rarely seen a police officer tell the truth on the stand at least in the way that facts are not obviously skewed to give the trier of fact the wrong impression and emphasize the Defendant's guilt or another officer's innocence regardless of the truth. When there is more than one officer, those that do "remember" the facts often testify in such a contradictory and confused fashion from other police witnesses that one has absolutely no idea how the verdict will come out or if the officers were even at the same scene. These confused officers presumably are required to "rehearse" their exact testimony before the next trial.
      Well, things could be worse. San Antonio, Texas, as previously reported in a post here on the Ninth Amendment remains the only major (well, over 1.3 million residents) police department that has not yet even computerized its crime base at all, including major crime reports. In audits of recent years something like one third of crimes allegedly committed in San Antonio could not be investigated or prosecuted because the officers' handwritten reports dropped more or less randomly at the station were simply lost, written so long after the fact that nothing could be remembered to put on the form, never written at all, or in most cases just simply disappeared.

First Family Has Rough Week as Mrs. Obama's Plane Forgets to Land and President Called a "Chimpanzee"

Friday, 22 April 2011, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Ninth Amendment certainly hopes you are paying your fair share for the Times and NOT GETTING THE NEW YORK TIMES DIGITAL EDITION FOR FREE SIMPLY BY SETTING YOUR FIREFOX BROWSER TO "PRIVATE BROWSING". We are sorry to report that the First Family is having rather a difficult pre-Easter week as, first of all, Mrs. Obama's plane failed to land at its destination in Washington now that the country no longer has enough money to keep any air traffic controllers at all who are awake in the country's air traffic control towers.
      Then on top of that President Obama had to suffer the indignity of being called a "chimpanzee" in an e-mail by Marilyn Davenport, who is a GOP official at the Orange County's Republican Party Central Committee (sounds kind of like the "Politburo" does it not). Ms. Davenport refuses demands to resign her position as she maintains that calling this nation's first African-American President a chimpanzee was not a "racist" statement, but rather she pleads that she is just another Republican idiot brimming over with "political satire".
      Most Americans, even Republicans, are aware that chimpanzees are not permitted under the United States Constitution to serve as President, regardless of the country in which they were born. (Many Republicans apparently believe Mr. Obama was born in some country other than the United States because they have not personally examined his birth certificate). Well, we at the Ninth Amendment do not actually know it to be a fact, but we believe it is very funny political satire to observe that in our opinion Ms. Davenport is in fact herself a lice-ridden dirty rodent. Now these,we know, are welcome in the Republican Party, regardless of intelligence, grooming, or capacity for telling the truth.

"Restrepo" Director Tim Hetherington and Photographer Die in Libya

Thursday, April 21 2011, TRIPOLI - We hope that you are NOT READING THE NEW YORK TIMES WITHOUT PAYING FOR A DIGITAL SUBSCRIPTION SIMPLY BY VIEWING THE TIMES WITH YOUR FIREFOX BROWSER SET TO "PRIVATE BROWSING".
     The Ninth Amendment's heart goes out to the outstanding movie "Restrepo" Director Time Hetherington and the photographer with him who news organizations now are reporting have been killed in Libya, and of course to their families, loved ones, and all friends and admirers of the brave and important work that they have undertaken so that the people of the world can really see and hear uncensored what is going on in some of the world's most dangerous war zones.
     In a post-Vietnam era when governments and their militaries constantly attempt to manage the image of the senseless and horrific unconstitutional conflicts in which they have our countries engaged far from home, it is the members of the press who have the incredible courage to defy their "handlers" to deliver to us the true story of the mindless killing of our own soldiers, civilians, and those that we claim some reason to kill.
     Mr. Hetherington's "Restrepo" is an outstanding National Geographic movie in which the movie crew actually spent a full tour with a group of soldiers within a brigade assigned and dropped into a hopeless quagmire, and left out to dry in one of the most dangerous areas of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border regions controlled by the Taliban. As we watch a magnificent and important work such as this we tend to forget that the soldiers we watch who constantly are at risk of coming under lethal fire, and do, that there is a director, cameraman and crew right there with them.
     Again, our deepest sympathies and heartfelt sorrow to these two more members of the international press and their families and loved ones, to these brave souls who have sacrificed their lives so that citizens of the world will not be kept in the dark no matter how much the powers-that-be wish that they could. May God rest their souls.

Transportation Safety Administration Entertains Air Travelers With Bizarre Behavior

Wednesday, 20 April 2011, WASHINGTON, D.C. - We hope by now you have duly paid the Man for your Times digital subscription and are not GETTING THE NEW YORK TIMES ABSOLUTELY FREE SIMPLY BY SETTING YOUR FIREFOX BROWSER TO "PRIVATE BROWSING". Today the Ninth Amendment would like to salute the brave air Transportation Safety Administration ("TSA") agents who are the ones in the snazzy uniforms and are truly the final gatekeepers to the sky, a bench, a restroom-like place without fixtures, and who knows where else, depending on your luck.
     The Ninth Amendment proposes a new national holiday in their honor with a name something like "National Transportation Safety Administration Worker Day and Long Lunch". This name for the holiday not only conveys the dignity of the event and that of the women and men who serve in this patriotic position. It also reflects that they probably also would need to work on "their holiday" so Americans, or rather big businessman and top government official whose jets are in the shop, would not get angry that all the airports were closed.
     Although many of us have experienced TSA gatekeepers napping on the floor, it does not get you as worried as the thought that there is a fair chance that your air traffic controller is asleep during your night flight. Or that your Northwest pilot and crew has been drinking all night and carries pot and pipes in their carry-on luggage which they light up and then allow autopilot safely to guide you home or at least land the plane somewhere before it runs out of gas and drinks and peanut mix.
     After just a few short years of its being in existence, many many people have charming stories to tell about the "curious" security procedures with which the TSA loves to keep passengers on their toes and off guard as they wonder if they will be flying on their flight today or off on some other adventure. Who knows what special new item from the dollar store they may be searching your body cavities for on the warning of a "top-secret" memorandum, or some other procedure they are doing to you that they thought up on their way to work, or just a hallucination because they forgot to take their prescriptions before work (or maybe took yours by accident while rifling through your bag)?
     It has been documented that the TSA truly believes that all people are created equal, and they should be treated that way, too. Namely, badly. You may be a painter, obviously very old and sick, a big businessman, a drug dealer, a Federal air marshal, the pilot, or just some Congressperson or the President. The TSA you can be confident is going to make sure that no one is going to get on your plane without some poking and prodding at their fetus or urine bag or cast or whatever looks interesting, also the exploration of random body cavities, and finally anything else that comes to mind as they walk you through their irradiating full body radioactive scanners and visual ones, too, if you are lucky.
     Most everyone has figured out by now that whether it was terrorists or cronies of "President" George "little shrub" Bush that snuck through the gauntlet on 9-11, the TSA for sure is the answer to our future safety because whoever did it will no doubt in the past decade have found it impossible to come up with any other new idea or thought that maybe they should try doing something else.
     Once upon a time it was such a pleasure to fly overnight to places like Europe on Laker, Peoples' Express, Air Florida, Valujet (until they blew up one of their planes in flight and changed to the luckier name "Air Blue"), or Continental lying four seats across smoking cigarettes while what used to be called stewardesses brought you five drinks at a time from the "Pub in the Sky".
     Nowadays, however, the whole air travel experience is just so much more fun! From start to finish. And as times have changed not only can you enjoy a little time in the airport bar before and after your flight as you once did. Now you can run through miles of corridors to distant gates at airports that are "connecting" you to flights that make you go backwards before you even get closer to your destination as you consume a full day flying from, say Kennedy to Newark, or San Antonio to Houston.
      And wherever you go, their they are all dressed up and ready to surprise you with their newest search tricks and latest invasive technology! The TSA! We only hope that if they do not have one yet they soon get their own place in the Cabinet and their turn to command the United States' national security agencies for the day. Just remember, if you still even want to fly at all, or have no choice, smile to the TSA person, read them your boarding pass if that piece of paper stumps them, and hope that you are not the day's lucky candidate for the newest TSA medical search experiment.
     So please think it over, even just the ring it has to it, "National Transportation Worker Day and Long Lunch". One more piece of the newer, safer, smarter America for the 21st Century. We'll see you in the aisle waiting in line for the one coach passenger restroom that still kind of works. Until then, have a safe flight and a good body search compliments of your Big Friend, the US Government.

Federal Courts Beseiged by Kafkaesque Problems at All Levels This Week

Tuesday, 19 April 2011, WASHINGTON, D.C. - We hope by now you have duly paid the Man for your Times digital subscription and are not GETTING THE NEW YORK TIMES ABSOLUTELY FREE SIMPLY BY SETTING YOUR FIREFOX BROWSER TO "PRIVATE BROWSING". From the District Courts, through the Courts of Appeal, and all the way up to the United States Supreme Court, Federal Judges and Justices this week have been besieged by a cosmic coming together of bizarre and confusing cases which they skilfully are seeking to avoid.
     At the District Court level, growing numbers of trial court judges have expressed mounting unhappiness with the unpleasant situation they have been put in of sentencing hundreds and perhaps thousands of mostly minority defendants to mandatory federal sentences that even Congress has had to recognize are so grossly unfair that Congress finally had to do something after sitting around for the past couple decades merely ignoring the issue and taking bribes as usual in other matters.
     Namely, as has been obvious to the rest of the United States' population for a generation or more, African-Americans and other minorities have been languishing in prisons suffering mandatory ten-year or more terms for possessing crack cocaine in quantities that were it powder cocaine would see them, like the non-minorities who are usually caught with powder, serving fractions of the sentences if the cocaine were powder not crack. The two drugs are the same.
     Although the United States Constitution nowhere addresses Congressional power to criminally prosecute drug possession, the Government now has been keeping busy for about a century making more and more of a mess of this area to the point where the "War on Drugs" has become a global incubator for international criminal organizations that otherwise would not even exist. Although that point has not yet quite sunk in with the United States Government yet, it was pointed out in the not overly liberal Economist magazine in a cover article as long ago as 1987. Apart from the Economist, apparently only George Soros is the only one of means who has managed to comprehend the situation, and meanwhile the United States Constitution has methodically been stripped of many of the provisions that allowed this country to become great.
     In any case, although Congress as mentioned above actually finally did grasp the point about the crack cocaine sentencing and remarkably decided even to do something about it without being paid off, unfortunately in passing last year's Fairness in Sentencing Act the Congress forgot to make it apply to pending convictions awaiting sentencing. This has left District Court judges in the somewhat uncomfortable position of sending minorities off to mandatory sentences for a significant portion of their lives, even after the former law has expressly been recognized as grossly unfair. Since the Constitution really no longer has an effective "cruel and unusual" prohibition now that, for example, President Obama can order drones to kill American citizens in foreign countries without a trial (although they cannot be wiretapped), District Court judges in growing numbers are expressing a lack of satisfaction with their jobs. After all, they did not sign up to be judges in Stalinist Russia.
     Meanwhile, appellate court judges have had problems of their own related to, amongst other things, the murky waters lapping at the 9-11 prison somehow still operating at Guantanamo Bay since Congress will not fund transportation for "detainees" to be flown to the mainland United States for formalities like charging them with crimes or giving them trials. Most recently, they have had to deal with five Muslim Chinese who have sought asylum in the United States since all agree they are not guilty of anything but probably will be executed should they be returned to China.
      Somehow this one got passed off to the Supreme Court this week. The Court, however, cleverly seizing on an alleged split amongst the Circuits or some arcane reason, dodged this case as well. The reason: the Justice Department had spread the happy news to the Circuit Court that Palau and one other "unidentified" country, island, place, or something that was not China anyway had agreed to take the Guantanamo Chinese Muslims. Palau as far as the Ninth Amendment knows was last believed to be far away out in the Pacific Ocean perhaps in the vicinity of Guam "Where America's Day Begins".
      Although Palau or the other "unidentified" place apparently was not the Chinese asylum seekers' first choice when they requested "the United States", the United States Supreme Court apparently felt it sounded good enough to them. In any case, now it was a "new" case if it even still was a "case", and the Court does not have to hear those except in certain circumstances which we will not examine here at this time.
     As to cases involving global warming (not that again, that one is getting to be like the Exxon Valdez case for the Supreme Court, kind of like Dickens' "Bleak House") those were simply ignored or sent back somewhere or put on the bottom of the pile. This extra special procedure can only be done by the Supreme Court security guards when the Justices are all in conference or the restroom and cannot see what is going on outside, and the clerks are at lunch. Then finally, the last public matter for the beginning of the week was the State of Virginia wanting to overturn the new Obama Health Care law, like the "teabaggers" do, since Teabaggers and Virginians apparently do not need health care. On that one the case just simply disappeared from the marble palace with no comment whatsoever.
     Far and wide, Federal Judges and Justices eagerly await summer vacation if they have one coming, or at least a snow, hurricane, tornado, or rain day, or something. Maybe short-term disability. Things just do not seem so intellectually stimulating now that most judges have been appointed by right-wing wackos, there essentially is no Constitution, and the Patriot Act lets them do most anything they want, except go home early.

Income Taxes on United States' "Super-Rich" Drop "Dramatically" -- Time for the Rich to PAY UP!

Monday, 18 April 2011, WASHINGTON - Reports today including in The New York Times reveal that as the Times puts it, income taxes for the "Super-Rich" have dropped dramatically. Based on calculations made by the Internal Revenue Service those "loyal" and "patriotic" Super-Rich citizens often pay no income taxes at all. According to the Internal Revenue Service the income of these "folks" averaged out at about $345,000,000 dollars each, while in the last year tabulated they saw their income taxes drop to a tiny 17% of their income.
     As we have told you before, there are only two reasons to be a die-hard "cut government spending" and "lower taxes" Republican. You have to be rich, or ignorant just as the truly Super-Rich Republicans want you and your children to be. And they will do all they can to make sure you are ignorant as they see that you are a little pre-occupied with the fact that you are going bankrupt, losing your house to foreclosure, being ripped off by banks and finance companies that should simply have bars put around them and be made into prisons for their criminal management and directors, and see your wages cut to nothing.
     You think they care about family values, and that is what you have in common? They just go get their abortions wherever they are legal. They laugh at you as they make you live in constant fear of their phony wars on drugs, terrorists, dictators, and the cops who work for them. You think you like them because they will let you have your gun? Well, sure, just make sure you point it at each other before you pull the trigger. Point it at them, and you can get a fast ticket to death row. You will not find any of them there.
     Stop being stupid! Do not vote Republican. Tax the rich until they bleed. Put the white collar criminals in the prisons where they belong. Demand that you get fair pay for your work to support yourself and your family, stop being made a fool of by the rich people on the hill laughing down on you, demand that your children get to go to good schools and colleges, tell the filthy rich to take their foul air, water, and waste and live in it themselves.
     You and your children fought and fight for this country, and you have every right to breathe clean air, drink clean water, eat chemical-free food, and get the best education in the world, regardless of what money you do or do not have. Stop letting the rich make a fool out of you, ruining your health, and talking their trash to you. Just change the channel and tell them to go tell their crap to someone else.
     The powers not specifically enumerated to the government do not belong to the government, and they sure as hell do not belong to the rich. Many of your ancestors fought for the Constitution, and YOU retain all the  rights not specifically given away in that sacred document. All persons are created equal in the United States, and if you feel you were not, then get up and do something about it. The rich were created equal, too, so let them pay their fair share of taxes and stop hiding the ball. It is just like your boss, as far as they are concerned. All loyalty to them, but when the shit hits the fan, they sure will not have any sympathy for you and your family.
     Tell your government you would rather feed the world and make it a better place for all, not bomb it, poison it, and exploit every country until it hates you just to make the Super-Rich even richer, thank you very much.

First Family Quietly Prepares for "DaDa" to Come Home While the Colonel Waits In Tripoli

Sunday, 17 April 2011, WASHINGTON, D.C. - We hope by now you have duly paid the Man for your Times digital subscription and are not GETTING THE NEW YORK TIMES ABSOLUTELY FREE SIMPLY BY SETTING YOUR FIREFOX BROWSER TO "PRIVATE BROWSING". In yet another world exclusive news release, the Ninth Amendment has learned that Colonel Moammar "DaDa" Qaddafi calmly waits to come home to President "Sonny" Obama possibly within days. Colonel Qaddafi, who has mystified much of the world press by writing intimate letters to United States President Obama, spent the last few evenings quietly walking the streets of Tripoli, capital of the country that he has ruled for forty years while NATO meanwhile bombed terrified civilians throughout Libya as they tried to flee somewhere else.
     Back in Washington, while in public the tightly-controlled President Obama merely has been observed to eat more celery sticks presumably in his bid to stop smoking, in the wing of the White House a suite of rooms is being prepared for the long-awaited coming home of "DaDa" Qaddafi. The United States has mystified its NATO allies by, following a showy flourish to its leading the UN mandate of clearing the Libyan skies, largely withdrawing from the campaign of Libyan airstrikes and leaving Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to make confusing statements such as "Moammar must go" while she travels to Japan to check the radiation.
     Suspicions abound that the United States seeks a country of refuge for the Colonel where the treaty establishing the Hague Tribunal has not been ratified, which includes about half of Africa, and therefore would not put the Colonel at risk for extradition to the Hague for prosecution for crimes against humanity. The most noticeable lacking signatory to that document, however, has of course always been the United States which fears that much of its "intelligence" services members and high government officials would themselves be called before the Tribunal to answer for the unparalleled global crimes they have committed for decades.
     And so, although not yet widely leaked, the natural place for the Colonel to spend his waning years would in fact be none other than the White House, especially since the Colonel apparently believes his son and family live there, too. As to the answer regarding President Obama's true paternity, the Ninth Amendment is not yet at liberty to divulge that information. We do note, however, that the Colonel has been known himself to languidly gnaw on celery sticks as he is forced to watch "Green Acres" re-runs on his plasma TV since NATO knocked out his satellite TV antenna and cancelled his premium cable television subscription (on a technicality).
     Peace on earth, and may the "Gang of Six" restore reason to this sorry country before it really is too late. As this nation's first President, George Washington, observed after leading the colonies to victory over their dissolute colonial masters of the dying British Empire, no country will ever survive must it stoop so low as to have to maintain a standing army to insure its very existence. The Colonel is learning this in Libya, and the only question that really remains is -- will the next United States President also let Colonel Qaddafi live on in the White House if he really feels at home there?

Prescription Drug Costs About 50-75% Lower With Nothing to Join

Saturday, 16 April 2011, NEW AMERICA - Dear readers we at the Ninth Amendment care about your well-being and, as they say, "If you do not have your health, you do not have anything". We hope by now you have duly paid the Man for your Times digital subscription and are not GETTING THE NEW YORK TIMES ABSOLUTELY FREE SIMPLY BY SETTING YOUR FIREFOX BROWSER TO "PRIVATE BROWSING".
      Ready to save some money and on your health care costs? Good. Here are two ways to defeat the pigs in the United States prescription drug industry TOTALLY LEGALLY WITHOUT HEALTH CARE INSURANCE. Go get a pen or pencil.
     Number One. As actually was advised by the United States Government, purchase all your un- or undercovered prescription drugs by buying them at your nearest CostCo. All CostCo stores have a pharmacy just like the pharmacy down your street. You do not need a CostCo membership to use the pharmacy at CostCo. Just tell them to get you in at the door that you are going to the pharmacy. Call the CostCo store first and dial "O" in the middle of the pharmacy voice prompts. Simply say you do not have adequate or any health insurance and ask how much your name or generic prescription drug costs in the quantity you want. Be careful not to just bring a credit card because CostCo does not accept most of them. Make sure you ask before you go to the store and end up not having the cash, debit, FSA card, or whatever CostCo accepts.
     Bring in your prescription and tell CostCo you will wait or come back to have it filled, as you wish. If you already have your prescription at another pharmacy but the CostCo price is better, simply tell Costco your pharmacy's name and address with your prescription and its telephone number, and CostCo will call your pharmacy to have your prescription transferred to CostCo. You can fill as many prescriptions as you like. As with all pharmacies, the greater the quantity, the greater the savings. Already a CostCo member, be sure to also ask for a Prescription Savings Card to save a few more per cent.
     Number Two. Call Luscinia Health for free at cardholder helpline at 1-866-368-9807 and ask for their absolutely free Simple Savings card sent free to the address you tell Luscinia. Within about a week you will receive two cards on a perforated postcard for two people to carry. Anyone can use them for free. Usually if you do not have health insurance you can save from about 25% to 60% at any pharmacy where we have ever tried the card.
      Even if you have health insurance but do not like the prescription drug price it gets you, you can simply ask the pharmacist also to run the price before you pay with the Simple Savings card. If it costs less with the Simple Savings card than retail or with your health insurance or the pharmacy's plan (if it has one) obviously buy it at the cheaper Simple Savings price. The pharmacist cannot tell you which way you have to pay. You or anyone you tell can call Luscinia at the above telephone number, which is printed on the cards, absolutely free and order more cards for free as well.
     So what is the catch? There is none. So what is the :hidden cost for Luscinia Simple Savings Card or CostCo or CostCo Prescription Savings Card for a little extra savings for members? There is none. This is no a gimmick, not an ad, and the Ninth Amendment provides this information simply as a good Samaritan member of the internet community. If it saves you so much it makes you happy, give it to any charity but the Republican Party. No joke. Stay healthy.

Illiterate Governor Perry Buddy Rick "Thick" O'Donnell Paid to Advise UT Regents Research is Useless

Friday, 15 April 2011, AUSTIN - It breaks our hearts at the editorial board here, almost as much as the fact that the United States Supreme Court absolutely has ignored the clear admonition of the Ninth Amendment that "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people" with the Court's cheap trick of simply failing to "construe" the Ninth Amendment since its adoption. However, apparently some people still are READING THE DIGITAL NEW YORK TIMES FOR FREE BY SETTING THEIR FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING".
     Rick "Thick" O'Donnell a previously out-of-work Colorado alleged "academic" nobody has taken $200,000 to report in his patronage job for Governor Perry as "special assistant" to the UT Regents that the bulk of academic research in Texas produces few "academic benefits". Mr. O'Donnell's own final research work on the subject was rife with dozens of errors which he shrugged off as just another "production snafu" before he took another hit off his crack pipe. Mr. O'Donnell's non-peer reviewed work was dismissed as worthless and "unpublishable" by serious academics and grade school children.
     O'Donnell snagged his own gold-plated "research" job in Texas, the state ranked 44th in education spending per pupil, because he is a friend of one of Governor "Six-Shooter" Perry's big five or so donors. These rich criminals and drug lords keep getting Perry re-elected in Texas although no one else supports Perry because he is such an ineffective moron. O'Donnell certainly proved his point as to the valuelessness of research, at least O'Donnell's own that is, as he eagerly awaits the Governor's phone call for his next $200,000 "snafu" assignment paid for by the taxpayers of Texas.
     Although "Six-Shooter" Perry apparently claimed to attend a school of higher education in Texas, no school in Texas has ever acknowledged that Perry attended school at their institution. For his part, Mr. O'Donnell is reported to be studying for his GED in Mexico when he is not busy practicing his "research skills" for the benefit of the UT regents in his $200,000 special patronage job as "special assistant". He certainly has been extremely successful in proving first-hand that education is worthless for some no matter how much the Texas taxpayers pay for their drug habits and borderline criminal activities while they buy their "academic" work off the internet from Indonesian call center operators.

Qaddafi to NATO - "Drowning in a River of Tears" (Pilgrim, Eric Clapton, U.S. Copyright 1998 Reprise Records)

Friday, 15 April 2011, TRIPOLI - The Ninth Amendment sincerely hopes you are not still READING THE NEW YORK TIMES FOR FREE WITH YOUR FIREFOX BROWSER SET TO "PRIVATE BROWSING".  NATO nations continued their useless airstrikes against Libya's Colonel Moammar Qaddafi and complained bitterly about the Colonel's refusal to "bow to the masters of the world". The Colonel continued to let loose against the Libyan rebels with all the inhumane weaponry he has on hand. And that is a lot.
     NATO and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are outraged that Colonel Qaddafi maintains his refusal to bow to the US and NATO self-proclaimed "dictators of the planet". The United States and Ms. Clinton continue to maintain a cautious distance as the bankrupt USA already embroiled in three major global conflicts does not relish the thought of taking on a "madman" who is armed to the teeth with the genocidal weapons that the US and NATO nations, after all, sold to him in the first place.
     The last thing they want is to be on the ground in Libya trapped crying a river of tears with the Libyan populous beneath the lethally inaccurate armaments the US and friends made and sold to the Colonel.

United States Post Office Re-Issues "Statue of Liberty" Stamp Again Based on Las Vegas Fake "Replica"

Friday, 15 April 2011, LAS VEGAS - The USPS recently reissued one of its "Forever" stamps -- supposedly meaning "Forever" will pay for first-class postage "forever" even after the one-ounce US postage rate surpasses the 13 trillion dollar current US debt ceiling, just take our word for it -- with the new US denominational stamp once again bearing the wrong image of the Statue of Liberty from a Las Vegas casino which the USPS earlier included on the first "Forever - we will do anything to keep our jobs" stamp issue.
     Rather than what is believed to be the "real" Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor given to the United States by France over 100 years ago, the USPS stamp version depicts the miniature "Lady Liberty" reproduced in half size for cash by a Las Vegas teenager -- not from France -- for display behind a fake New York harbor in the New York, New York Casino.
      Although the unlimited digital NY Times (FREE AGAIN NEW YORK TIMES BY USING A FIREFOX BROWSER SET TO "PRIVATE BROWSING") made the pithy observation that former NY mayor Ed Koch might be touchy and call the USPS blunder "stupid", the MGM casino management likes the replica, which can only be seen in its lobby, better than the original. Although no one is known to have emigrated into the United States via ship through the lobby of the casino, the casino is laughing all the way to the bank.
     The USPS "praises" the idiotic stamp, too, and plans to keep it. Either give themselves in the USPS all a raise and a medal, as in Joseph Heller's "Catch-22" to Americans for arranging to bomb their own airfield and in addition an empty expanse of ocean, or USPS management fire itself and make itself buy the stamps with  their very early retirement pensions. Not a difficult decision for USPS management.
     Stay tuned for more USPS postage stamps bearing United States landmarks and national treasures reproduced from pictures USPS workers take of morning television cartoons while working to keep your mail late and your costs up.

DUCK THAT DRONE! - United States Drones Found Also to Kill US/UN Soldiers and Medics - Free New York Times

Wednesday 13 April 2011, WASHINGTON - The Ninth Amendment still violently condemns readers who Circumvent the New York Times Paywall Security By Setting Their Firefox Browser to "Private Browsing" and Therefore Pay Nothing At All to Circumvent Paying, Not Even a Penny, for the Digital New York Times.
     The Ninth Amendment, in more important news, has wondered how the United States drone "kill" rate has been 100% "accurate" other than perhaps a few hundred or thousand foreign civilians. Well of course the drone kill rate has not nearly been that accurate, but with the drone spreading worldwide as the darling of the CIA and President "Hypocrite" Obama, who would want to let the real truth be known anyway.
     It looks like the party is over, however, for the CIA, Obama, and every other United States global assassination leader as within the past days it has leaked out that a United States drone confirmed killed a United States soldier and United States military medic as the remote "drone drivers" thousands of miles away fell asleep at the wheel and began having trouble telling al-Qaeda, Taliban, Mexican drug lords, etc. apart from United States and United Nations troops.
     The drone "friendly fire" murder of course has not yet been admitted by the United States Administration, but it will have to be soon now that it has been reported to the world media by a reliable anonymous A.P. source. The question of course is how long have Americans been kidding themselves that these drone "armed paper planes for cowards" have been not only missing their targets and killing foreign civilians, they have been "accidentally" killing friendly Afghan soldiers (they do look so similar to the Taliban you know from a video camera at night), and who knows what the true number of American and NATO soldiers murdered will come out now that the CIA and friends have been fingered.
     So at least this time when the inevitable "blowback" begins descending around the world upon hapless Americans, there can be no mistake that it was once again, of course, our friends in the United States intelligence community screwing up again. This time with President Obama right at the helm. One must wonder how long it will be until the "drones" will be "in the wrong hands" and headed back your and our way. Just like the "Stingers" and a thousand other stellar CIA ideas.
     Do not be scared as you "duck that drone". After all, "it was made right here in the good old USA". No doubt the United States Executive "Intelligence" Branch will have a thousand new reasons to shoot them at you and I, that is the ones that do not miss and hit us anyway. Stay low, avoid phones, daylight, and travel by donkey, you will be fine. Unless the Mexican drug lords get some of their own drones to play with as well in the United States border states.

"Gang of Six" To Tell Americans the Bitter Truth on Impending Economic Collapse - Free New York Times

13 April 2011, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Yes the Ninth Amendment still vehemently condones readers circumventing the New York Times laughable paywall by Setting Readers' Firefox Browsers to "Private Browsing" and Never Paying a Penny to Defeat the New York Times Forty-Million Dollar Paywall in Less Than a Minute With Unlimited Free Reading of the New York Times As Many Articles as Readers Want. Absolutely do not do this or any of a hundred other ways to get around the "porous" paywall as detailed all over the Web and by ABC "news".
     Meanwhile President "Hypocrite" Obama averted a federal budget crisis in the short term as he moves further and further toward becoming a card-carrying "Tea Party" member himself. In the end he sold out Senator Wyl just as he as sold out countless other Democrats in giving Republicans anything they wish in the "social agenda" which has no positive impact on the United States budget at all.
     President Obama in fact now that he has sold over ten books about how he spent his younger years as a drug fiend and elder abuser is really starting to like the sound of a "permanent tax cut, Bush style, for the rich". The Ninth Amendment is certain Obama will make a fine local backroom "public" official back in Cook County when he loses the 2012 Presidential Election.
     Now it is the bi-partisan "Gang of Six" (not to be confused with the Chairman Mao "Gang of Four" or the 1980's rock band "Gang of Four" who wowed audiences with songs such as "Your Love is Like a Case of Anthrax", and that's one thing I don't want to catch) which Congressional Gang of Six has taken on the unforgiving but necessary task of thinking of the future of the country and not just themselves.
     The "Gang of Six" actually have decided to break the news to the American people that infinite tax cuts for the rich, constantly reduced social spending, and an ever-ballooning "defense" establishment, i.e., perpetual war machine, are not going to get the United States out of this mess. Long live the Gang of Four, they Do Not Subscribe to the New York Times When They Can Get it for Free if They Cared To by Setting Their Firefox Browsers to "Private Browsing" and never hearing again from Sulzberger, "All the News I Can Sell to the Rich".
     Meanwhile Obama and Mr. Justice Clarence Thomas are rumored to have a standing Wednesday night out where they pore over old pornographic magazines which Thomas was exposed, in his Senate Supreme Court hearings, to have stacked to the ceiling around a dirty mattress which he spends most of his free time lying on under a bare light  while frequenting his one-room "flat" and telephoning out for "show girls" and ointment

Pakistan Boots Central "Intelligence" Agency Out - Free New York Times

Monday, 11 April 2011, ISLAMADAD, PAKISTAN - In the wake of forty-seven days in prison with nothing to do except "relieve" himself of #1, #2, and masturbate while thinking of his mother, CIA assassin Raymond A. Davis (you chose a name) has gotten himself and most of the known CIA kicked out of Pakistan despite $1 billion in "tribute" the  United States most recently has paid Pakistan in freshly minted $100 bills as President "Hypocrite" Obama, "Lux and Veritas", desperately tries to cling to whatever "friends" he has left outside of Chicago and select groups of his family and pets.
     U.S. CIA killer "Davis" apparently claimed he had been the hapless bureaucratic victim of an unfortunate Pakistani "robbery" attempt which left him no choice but immediately to kill his two attackers in a paroxysm of fear, confusion, and pooping in his pants as the thieves tried to wrest away his treasure trove of items he had stolen from the government supply room. Apparently the Pakistanis did not buy his story, nor did they buy the United States claims of "diplomatic immunity". The ISI it would seem finds the Taliban and el-Qaeda more credible than even the country that spawned the miraculous "Tea Party".
     The USA has become so adept at re-making familiar governmental definitions, explanations, and jargon into incomprehensible lying , that it turns stomachs most of the rest of the world over just to have to hear the United States head downhill at breakneck pace from champion of the world to a place no one ever hoped to have to think about again until some time passed, like perhaps the Roman Empire.
     The head of Pakistan's notorious ISI (which runs Pakistan) communicated the news to the United States through the ISI Chief. The United States desperately backpedalled as it tried to entertain Pakistanis with jugglers, transsexuals, and "look-alike" legal-age Bunnies as it reportedly passed out United States currency and IOU's despite the world being fully aware the CIA's only route to "popularity" through United States dollars may vie with Zimbabwe dollars for the World's most worthless currency by week's end.
     The Pakistanis further told the CIA to pack up their drones and reportedly use them to go clean up some American cities now that President Obama has embraced drone mass murder in combination with completely opening the door to the Executive Branch assassinating American citizens and anyone in their vicinity (or not) for doing anything whatsoever at all wherever, whyever, for whatever reason.
     The Ninth Amendment furthermore endorses all eligible Americans to see the National Geographic film "Respero" before signing up at the local "recruiting" station to head off to Afghanistan, Obamastan, Pakistan, or where to get the recruits enticing "job". Sharp recruits may notice that one or two items are scripted to be left out of the "recruiting pitch". Most but not all people, for example, agree that it is hard to go on to higher education when you are dead, except perhaps in Texas if Gov. Perry is teaching or Florida if "little shrub" Bush.
      The Ninth Amendment stresses that its heart and soul go out to the American military forces fighting to prevail and most sadly spread, wounded and killed all over the globe, and to all their loved ones, families, friends, who sit home in the place "safe for democracy" and watch "American Idol", sports, ads and pray.
     STILL FREE NEW YORK TIMES DIGITAL FOR THOSE WHO SET THEIR FIREFOX BROWSER TO "PRIVATE BROWSING" OR DO SCORES OF OTHER THINGS  - This log "The Ninth Amendment" vehemently opposes any such behavior and believes all should pay big dollar tribute to The Times even if they are illiterate, hate the paper, or even if their puppy refuses to uses it for litter.

Override New York Times Paywall - Free New York Times - No Pay to Read New York Times

Saturday, 9 April 2011, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - The Ninth Amendment in no way endorses the many ways to circumvent paying for the digital New York Times. The New York Times is free, some may say. The Wall Street Journal is free, some may say. This log is unfamiliar with the Wall Street Journal but vehemently discourages New York Times readers from avoiding paying their "fair" share to read "All the News That's Fit to Print".
      FREE NEW YORK TIMES GRATIS NEW YORK TIMES ACCESSIBLE NEW YORK TIMES NO COST NEW YORK TIMES NO SUBSCRIPTION FEE NEW YORK TIMES UNLIMITED NO PAY NEW YORK TIMES CIRCUMVENT PAYING FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES FOR NOTHING NEW YORK TIMES FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE NEW YORK TIMES NEW YORK TIMES NEW YORK TIMES UNLIMITED FREE ARTICLES NEW YORK TIMES UNLIMITED FREE ACCESS NEW YORK TIMES FREE INTERNET ACCESS NEW YORK TIMES.
     The Ninth Amendment Absolutely Discourages All Human and Other Beings on Planet Earth as Well as in Outer Space FROM USING THE FREE FIREFOX BROWSER SET TO "PRIVATE BROWSING" to Not Pay for the New York Times in United States Dollars From Any Locale Whatsoever Wherever According to Their Local Exchange Rate for United States Dollars.
     Should the United States Dollar become worthless in six days when the United States Government blows its 13 trillion dollar debt ceiling, the New York Times will tell all where to send their gold, silver and other precious metals if they cannot figure out how to SET THEIR FREE FIREFOX BROWSER TO "PRIVATE BROWSING". In that case you should probably be reading The Wall Street Journal anyway.
    Again the Ninth Amendment absolutely positively vehemently discourages any and all from accessing The New York Times without respecting the paywall whatever Mr. Sulzberger tells the staff to charge for the privilege of reading "All the News That's Fit to Print", even if he appears drunk or over-medicated. The rest of us will just have to keep watching "All the Propaganda That Fits Between Commercials" on Fox television "news".

United States, Obama Okay Assassination of United States Citizens

     Saturday, 9 April 2011, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - The New York Times, now available free digitally once again, today recounted how United States officials are "deeply uneasy" about an assassination order they issued which was brought to light by major news organizations in 2010. Although the Bush and Obama administrations have already okayed assassinations despite an Executive Order forbidding them, against alleged militants involved in 9-11 according to the United States and being hunted by drones on the Afghan-Pakistan border, the Times reports that Anwar al-Awaki does not fit this profile in any way.
     Since becoming the most hypocritical President to ever take office as President of the United States, Mr. Obama has overseen the use of more drone assassinations than former alleged President "little shrub" Bush.     Murderer Obama also has largely adopted Bush policies in their entirety and expanded them after vehemently condemning them in the 2008 Presidential election. In the wake of the federal budget cap "bridge" for the coming week, Americans are becoming convinced that assassin Obama may run as a Republican in 2012 as he vies for leadership of the "Tea Party" cutting social services and overseeing the largest defense budget in history.

NATO Permanent "Apology" Desk for Errant Bombings and Murders Says "Sorry"

      Saturday, 9 April 2011, NAPLES - NATO commanders apologized once again for bombing due to poor intelligence the rebel forces NATO is supposedly supporting in Libya. Although no one is quite sure why NATO is so busy bombing and murdering Libyans, the NATO commanders feel they are safe from their errant bombers as they command their Libyan onslaught from Southern Italy.
     The NATO complete failure of  "air support" is reminiscent of the United States "precision" (defense contractor description) bombing of Iraq in 2003 in which, in spite of United States' claims to the contrary, not one of fifty "precision" bombs hit its target. One soldier was believed to have been killed along with several thousand children, housewives, laborers, and predominantly female students. Alleged "President" George "little shrub" Bush was the first United States President to earn the honor of ordering a pre-emptive strike on totally innocent civilians in a country which allegedly was chosen either by spinning a globe or angering Halliburton. "Little shrub" Bush belatedly admitted the Iraq assault and ensuing war had nothing whatsoever to do with "WMD" (Weapons of Mass Destruction) or 9-11. The United States now is building over fifteen permanent military bases in the country, however, much to the delight of the Iraqi people. 
     Although Colonel el-Qaddafi is not known to have been added along with Libya to the "Axis of Evil" (formerly Iraq, Iran, and North Korea) Washington pundits are guessing that the D.C. "stink tanks" had to conjure up a new enemy before heading home for their month-long Easter break vacation. The "stink tanks" are under heavy pressure to guide the United States' military policy of perpetual war to keep their defense contractor paymasters busy building new weapons and bombs.
     As previously reported, Dick Cheney and his latest iteration of murdering mercenaries reportedly to be renamed "Black Death" to celebrate Easter also now must be kept occupied peeling potatoes, terrorizing the world and overcharging the United States' Government for their non-existent "services".

New York Times Free Digital Access Restored, Fails to Screw the Little Man

Friday, 8 April 2011, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - After erecting a forty million dollar porous paywall The New York Times and chief Sulzberger are the laughingstock of the world. Osama bin Laden reportedly figured out how to read the paper using a rock and cell phone in just under five seconds, just like the Wall Street Journal. Word is bin-Laden prefers Al-Jazeera, however.
     The Ninth Amendment would hate to see the venerable New York Times made a fool of when one only needs a FIREFOX BROWSER SET TO PRIVATE BROWSE to circumvent its gold-plated paywall and fiercely condones any such behavior in the most strident terms. If that is too difficult one can merely press the "esc" key when the page is loading. Please never do this.
      That goes for the Wall Street Journal, too. With the New York Times new pay structure a lifetime subscription for the American reader should cost most non-academics no more than a year, or two, or three's wages. That is until the Times ups the price again, if it is still in existence. A small price to pay for "All the News That's Fit to Print" brought to you by some of the most intelligent people on the planet. Anyone know a New York Times executive to whom we could sell a real nice hardly used Caddy?

Professor Noam Chomsky Convinces Ninth Amendment to Retract 9-11 Conspiracy

Friday, 8 April 2011, CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - Upon careful examination of points raised in recent years by Professor Noam Chomsky, the Ninth Amendment editorial board is convinced that Professor Chomsky is correct in his assertion that the "9-11 Conspiracy Theory Industry" has become a tool of the United States Executive Branch.
     This "Conspiracy Theory" follows in the steps of those conspiracy theories ranging from the "Pearl Harbor Conspiracy Theory", to the "JFK Conspiracy Theory", to the "Gulf of Tonkin Conspiracy Theory", and on and on. Americans are urged to educate themselves and become active in fighting what the criminal Obama Administration and the military-industrial-think tank-corrupt Congress and State administrations are perpetrating today as they continue to manipulate, perpetuate the ignorance, use the media to brainwash, and literally imprison and kill Americans while they commit heinous crimes, atrocities and genocide around the world with your tax dollars in your name.
      You thought President Obama meant a change for the better? You can make a change for the better by not voting for him in 2012.The only change will be when he is gone and left Americans to languish in a war without end in Obamastan or who knows where else?
