Washington Post "Terms and Conditions" Simply for Posting a Comment Demonstrate Eptiome of Poor Pointless Legal Drafting

Tuesday, 28 June 2011 - The NINTH AMENDMENT REMINDS READERS IT CONDEMNS THE UNLIMITED READING OF THE NEW YORK TIMES DIGITAL EDITION SIMPLY BY SETTING ONE'S FIREFOX BROWSER TO "PRIVATE BROWSING".
     If readers really wish to see the work of lawyers who still are enamored with a love of generating high fees by conjuring up the pointless legalese, run-on sentences and other ridiculous rambling unenforceable small-print legal mumbo-jumbo, just have a laugh comparing the "requirements" one must agree to before even commenting on Washington Post articles, etc. with the minimal requirements one must sign off on before commenting on a New York Times piece.
     If the Washington Post "Terms and Conditions" necessary to "agree to" simply to make a comment were actually enforceable as drafted by third-rate attorneys in fantasyland, commenters would find themselves indemnifying the Washington Post for legal fees all the way up through United States Supreme Court proceedings in which the Post has found itself, such as, say, the Pentagon Papers. Does the Post really worry that public comments published with a full disclaimer in a digital edition will be mistaken by a Court for the "Official Words" of the venerable Washington Post?

Texas Governor Rick Idiot, Moron, Murderer "Six Shooter" Perry Will Kill Your Childern for A Buck! Text Message Away!

Sunday 19 June 2011, AUSTIN, TEXAS - The Ninth Amendment certainly hopes readers still are NOT READING THE NEW YORK TIMES DIGITAL VERSION WITHOUT LIMITATION SIMPLY BY SETTING THEIR FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING".
     However, Texans, the Ninth Amendment has far more important news that we unfortunately must report to you today. Before we wished to go forward with disseminating such heinous, evil information regarding Texas moron, idiot, fool, jerk and so on, Rick "six-shooter" Perry, however, the Ninth Amendment needed to make absolutely as certain as possible that this dismal news is true. Unfortunately it is.
     As previously reported elsewhere, earlier this week the Texas legislature which very very rarely even passes legislation that does not cause horror and dismay worldwide (largely attributed to the Texas Legislature's overwhelming majority of persons who call themselves Republicans but in reality may just be people who could not get any other job, lacking GED's), this Texas legislature actually had the wisdom which could only have been the "stroke of God" to pass a SINGLE piece of intelligent legislation. Namely, the Texas legislature actually for a few seconds had the wisdom actually to OUTLAW texting while driving.
      Yet, unbelievably, by the end of last week Governor Rick moron, idiot, fool, crook ("six-shooter") Perry actually boldly demonstrated that he is even stupider than anyone in Texas, the US, or the rest of the world thought was EVEN possible. In a STUNNING setback to sanity, intelligence, honesty, or any sense of  ROAD SAFETY, Governor Rick ("six-shooter") Perry actually VETOED this law. RICK PERRY WANTS TO KILL YOUR CHILDREN, TEXAS. In comments he made while signing his veto with a flourish, which Governor Perry was KNOWN to have done BECAUSE HE WAS PAID OFF BY ALL THE CELL PHONE COMPANIES IN TEXAS, Perry reportedly laughed and joked that "driving with my eyes closed is fun, too".
     The Ninth Amendment is of the opinion that AT&T headquartered we believe in Dallas even may have given Governor idiot, moron, fool, child-killer "six-shooter" Perry his own ISLAND which he was too stupid to realize is actually on land and is a radioactive-contaminated nuclear power plant on Japan. Readers, will you let this man kill your children? You may think he is hard to find because he is too "good" to live in the Texas Governors' Mansion. But he is the Governor, you can find him and voice your thoughts.
      In vetoing the "driving while texting" law, Governor ("six-shooter") Perry obviously was too stupid to even wait to be told what to say by his staff. Instead, the impaired Governor, who may have to be taken away for his own good, gave the reason for veto as the law was just another "government effort to micromanage the behavior of adults". The Governor also apparently muttered something about the "cell" companies paid "me off better than you hicks".  Perry surprised everyone by actually saying the word "micromanage" which apparently was Perry's one four-syllable word per week he is required to learn by a special Amendment to the Lone Star's State special "Perry Learner's Edition" Texas Constitution and Alamo coloring book.
    The Texas Rangers already widely are known to believe Perry is the biggest idiot they have ever had the displeasure of serving under in their careers. Governor ("six-shooter") Perry already has proposed several times that Texas raise the speed limit to 120 mph, not require seat belts and allow citizens to mount .50 caliber machine guns in the back of their pick-ups so "we's can keep us safe from dem dern Mehicans". The Ninth Amendment already from a number of unconfirmed sources has learned that Governor "six-shooter" Perry apparently had an unpleasant erotic encounter which he initiated with a Mexican "illegal immigrant" boy when he was Lieutenant Governor, apparently tainting Perry's political outlook ever since. 
     Governor Perry of course was once Lieutenant Governor under George "little shrub" Bush during which tenure it is believed the two held a seance asking for bribes and uttering "[a] friend of the devil is a friend of mine". So, Texans, next time you worry about YOUR child making it home alive on Texas roads, remember you have Governor, the world's stupidest, moron, idiot "six-shooter", Perry to thank. Perry's the man who will kill your kid for a buck from a cell phone company. We can hardly wait until he becomes the Ninth Amendment's next predicted United States President in 2012. If PERRY had been President for four terms, we bet we would have won World War Two. Oh yes, we did, did we not, even without him.

Fortieth Anniversary of Phony "War on Drugs" Passes Still With President Obama's Full Support

Saturday 18 June 2011, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Ninth Amendment fully expects its readers to pay and NOT READ UNLIMITED NEW YORK TIMES DIGITAL EDITIONS SIMPLY BY SETTING THEIR FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING".
     The Ninth Amendment must declare that to do such a thing would be no better than failing to support the "War on Drugs", which yesterday on its fortieth anniversary showed every sign of imminent success. In a manner of speaking. That is, "untruthfully".  It would seem we distinctly recall that during the 2008 Presidential Election then-candidate Obama had an entire CNN show to discuss his candidacy and qualifications, including his own somewhat vaguely detailed prior drug use.
     President Obama admitted that he had done unspecified illegal drugs before running for President, which he characterized as "selfish". He might also have characterized his actions as "illegal". So does that make President Obama even a less "effective" President, since he broke the law, whereas as far as we know the President recently commented that Representative Weiner's underwear antics in sending consensual pictures to another adult as making him too "ineffective" to serve in Congress?
     In fact your Sunday paper without doubt will be full of ads of male and female models in underwear at which you probably did not AGREE even to glance. The truth is, we guess we still am terribly disappointed with President Obama on this drug issue as with so many others because he clearly stated during the Presidential campaign that the answer to the "drug problem" was not the absurdly high level of law enforcement of the Bush administration that had no result but negative consequences.
     Mr. Obama stated that many of these resources instead should be diverted to drug regulation and treatment. The editorial board and staff at the Ninth Amendment fully agreed with Mr. Obama. Then, low and behold, just as in so many other matters in which President Obama indicated he was more "enlightened" than President Bush, what did his Administration do? It completely ignored President Obama's pledges during the campaign and now wastes JUST AS MUCH money as the Bush Administration did when this Friday we came upon the beginning of the 41st year of the Nixon-created phony and tragic "War on Drugs".
     This "War" which has been ruinous to our Constitution, and a dismal failure in more ways than one can imagine both domestically and internationally, has done nothing but empower extremely rich and powerful international criminal drug organizations. So we guess President Obama in his relentless self-examination must see himself as a little less "effective" a President since he could well be in prison right now while Representative Weiner at most may voluntarily get "treatment" for his so-called "problem". Declare a war on nothing with no enemy for long enough and, sure enough, you get your enemy and your war.

Commander-in-Chief Obama and Top Lawyer Yes-Men On Libyan "Hostilities" Adopt Perry/Palin Technique of Adapting Words to Whatever Meaning They Choose


Obama Considers "Peace" in Libya
Wednesday June 15 2011, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Ninth Amendment steadfastly implores readers not to AVOID THE NEW YORK TIMES PAYWALL SIMPLY BY SETTING THEIR FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE" BROWSING. Anyone who has supported the Obama Administration should just be honest and admit that the Administration is ignoring the clear mandate of the War Powers Act in the Administration's continuing participation in the military destruction of Libya certainly is no more excusable than what we might have expected from the previous or some other Republican Administration.
     The Ninth Amendment is UNEQUIVOCALLY MORE PREPARED to scrutinize and criticize the illegal actions and contorted interpretation of President Obama of the word "hostilities" in this circumstance because President Obama KNOWS BETTER. The fact that this Administration's top legal advisers in the White House, the State Department, and the Justice Department even have the audacity to put forth such twisted and untenable legal "interpretations" of the word "hostilities" to toe the party line in clear violation of the War Powers Act is inexcusable. It is moreover sickening to anyone who has ever represented the legal profession to watch President Obama demean himself to the level of another Sarah Palin.
     President Obama demonstrated clearly in the Presidential election campaign that he was thoughtful and capable of intelligent honest assessment of the domestic and foreign actions of the United States. Sadly his completely unjustified continuation of illegal obvious "hostilities" against Libya is yet another example in a rapidly expanding list of measures he has taken as President that are not even worthy of his clueless predecessor George "little shrub" Bush.
     The fact that he is perfectly aware of his hypocrisy is despicable, as is the behavior of his top officials who like him very well know better. They kill the hope of the citizens of this Country who voted them into power in the belief that there REALLY IS A CHOICE and that Barack Obama presented himself in GOOD FAITH as a true alternative who not only KNEW BETTER but would act on that in his actions if elected President. If we find ourselves subject in 2012 to the horror of the victory of a Perry-Palin ticket President Obama will have no one but himself to blame. SHAME ON HIM. God Save America.

Texas Governor Rick Perry "Earned" Over $1 Million In 2007 and Gave $90 in Church Donations


     Sunday 12 June 2011, WASHINGTON - The Ninth Amendment again reminds its readers not to READ UNLIMITED NEW YORK TIMES DIGITAL ARTICLES FOR FREE SIMPLY BY SETTING FIREFOX BROWSERS' TO "PRIVATE BROWSING". Just this past week Texas Governor Rick "Six-Shooter" Perry allegedly was caught trying to do this as he attempted to read his first Times' article ever but was stymied by his inability to recognize the word "browsing".
     Meanwhile the nation is being stirred into a completely manufactured frenzy speculating if "Six-Shooter" Perry will run for President in 2012 in direct contradiction to his pledge in his book (no, not his book about being a Boy Scout) "Fed Up" in which he bashes the United States, therefore including all those who have fought and died for this Country and all that it stands for of which Governor Perry has no comprehension whatsoever. One of Governor Perry's favorite scare tactics is to threaten the rest of the U.S. with Texas seceding (and presumably being overrun and reclaimed by Mexico within an hour).
      Governor "Six-Shooter" aka "Coyote-Killer" Perry appears to be following in the same strategic crooked footsteps of George "little shrub" Bush of 1999, when Perry as Bushs' Lieutenant Governor apparently remembers "President" (never really elected) Bush himself also pledging not to run for President and then doing so within a matter of a couple weeks. Governor Perry incidentally makes no secret of his hatred for his former boss Bush perhaps because "little shrub" Bush reminds Perry so much of himself.
     Now "Six-Shooter" Perry is playing it coy while he lets his aides drop "hints" that Perry may indeed run for President in 2012. Apart from this proving Perry's being a complete liar, it also would further expose him nationally  for the complete hypocrisy he has espoused since starting his political career as a Democrat. In his second decade as Governor, Perry has proven himself to be a corrupt idiot whose sole and favorite issued is that he needs more federal troops to keep the Mexicans from invading and re-taking Texas.
     A Ninth Amendment review of a decade of Mr. Perry's gross income reveals a huge spike in 2007 to almost $1.1 million for a man who averaged about $175,000 over that ten-year period. Not bad for a person "devoting" themselves to being a public servant. This perhaps may have had to do with Perry's criminal land dealings culminating in his "Horseshoe Bay" brilliant land purchase and sale set up entirely by wealthy "friends" who knew Governor "Six-Shooter" Perry NEVER forgot to return a favor. In any case, 2007 also marked the year in which the "deeply religious" Perry also coincidentally gave about the least money he ever had in church donations. He reported these charitable donations as totaling NINETY DOLLARS for the year.
      Now amidst all his other antics as the time to jump in the Presidential race comes upon him, Mr. Perry has the "Day of Fasting and Prayer" to look forward to later this summer to which he has invited the Governors of all fifty states. So far one Governor has RSVP'd to attend. So readers, please remember the Ninth Amendment NEVER endorsed Perry for President, the Ninth Amendment simply was the first to call the Perry-Palin juggernaut taking the 2012 Presidential Election from President Obama. This sadly is in no small measure due to the Mr. Obama's hypocrisy and broken campaign pledges most recently demonstrated by his Administration's failure to do anything to end the phony ruinous "War on Drugs" even as of this Friday it marks its FORTIETH year of complete failure.

CIA The Ninth Amendment is On to You Messing With Our Posts and Targeting in Our Location With Your "Murder" Drones!

     Tuesday 7 June 2011, NORTHERN UKRAINE - We at the Ninth Amendment firstly and most importantly expect our readers NOT TO BE AVOIDING PAYING FOR THE DIGITAL NEW YORK TIMES LIKE THE CIA BY SETTING THEIR FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING".
     So you murderous criminals against humanity at the CIA do not like "Peace" signs, including your pasty-white analyst back in "safe" Northern Virginia think they are any less the guilty than you.  Try telling that to the Germans in WWII who "innocently" escorted Jews, Gays, and Gypsies onto the trains to be gassed and incinerated in Dachau just twenty miles outside of Munich.  That's right boys and girls of the Agency, you all go together when you go.
     We wondered why? All the Ninth Amendment readers in Ukraine?  Now it comes together.  By the way we just saw another drone (made by Lockheed Martin we understand from the capture of the potential terrorists) who of course, along with the Mexican drug dealers, will have plenty of drones of their own to keep Washington on its toes.  One last hint, just dress as Santa Claus and wave to them. The drones just fly on by. Please stop messing with our typeface.  We are not through with you yet CIA.

Federal Appeals Panel Rules Valedictorian Permitted to Perform Sing-Along of Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" in High School Commencement Address

Sunday 5 June 2011, RURAL SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS - The Ninth Amendment adamantly admonishes readers to avail themselves of apparently new digital subscriptions and NOT SIMPLY BYPASS THE NEW YORK TIMES PAYWALL BY READING UNLIMITED FREE ARTICLES WITH THEIR FIREFOX BROWSERS SET TO "PRIVATE BROWSING".
     Meanwhile in front page news, at least in Texas and the Bible Belt, the week ended with an exciting reversal of Chief U.S. District Judge Judge Fred Biery of San Antonio's ruling issued earlier this week forbidding a high school Valedictorian (name withheld because of age) from going forward with publicly disclosed plans to yesterday perform a gospel rendition of the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" in a commencement address and inviting the graduation ceremony audience at a rural San Antonio area high school to join along. The Judge did say that the Valedictorian was permitted to sing or hum the song to themselves. However the student who brought the suit would not have to sing or even hum along.
    The Judge's ruling aroused the ire of thousands of Texans who felt that "Sympathy for the Devil" was a great song and would probably be better than a lot of fairly forgettable boring Valedictorian speeches. Many hitherto unknown groups with strange acronyms surfaced to express outrage that the Rolling Stones' classic which some feel has no religious connotations should be denied an eager audience. Judge Biery allegedly got more than 500 threatening telephone calls from people all over the country who love the Stones' song and apparently because they either cannot write letters or e-mails or somehow believed the Court would be able to handle that many telephone calls in a matter of days without their calls being shunted to voicemail.
     One of the most prevalent threats against the Judge leaked by Court insiders was that the callers would "kick his ass" or commit some other depraved violent act against the Judge at some unspecified opportunity. Apparently the callers did not realize that their telephone numbers which would provide strong initial evidence of who they were are readily available to the Federal Government which has very little problem tracing the origin and performing voice recognition of threatening phone calls against Federal government officials in violation of  Federal laws often punishable by bankrupting fines and lengthy prison terms.
    The Attorney General of Texas Greg Abbott joined in the mass hysteria upon reviewing Chief Judge Biery's opinion that "Sympathy for the Devil" could not be performed in a sing-along at the San Antonio are high school commencement celebration. The Attorney General made the incisive declaration that "It should not be illegal for students to sing 'Sympathy for the Devil' at graduation.
     Governor Rick ("six-shooter") Perry joined the Judge-bashing and even reportedly took a break from "dictating" his latest book to a ghost writer on how he would never run for United States President with Sarah Palin as Vice-President in the 2012 Presidential election. Texas Governor ("six-shooter") Perry then from a teleprompter helped by an aide whispering in his ear since he does not read very well actually was heard to utter the longest word he has ever been believed to have spoken since becoming Texas Governor a few decades ago. He apparently was heard to call Chief Judge Biery's order "reprehensible" although it was unclear if he actually knew the meaning of the word.
    Also joining the decorum was a Federal elected official also taking the courageous political position of bashing the Federal Chief District Judge, that was U.S. Senator John Cornyn who "blasted" the Judge's order and said it was hostile to "all things religious or occult in public life". Neither the esteemed Senator nor the armed Governor Perry is ever known to have made any type of legal analysis demonstrating even a passing familiarity with the United States Constitution including some especially well-known parts intended by the Founding Fathers to keep Church and State separated and forbidding the Government from supporting "Establishments of Religion", including those which have lyrics about sympathy for the devil. Neither man is known ever to have been considered for a Federal judgeship.
    The Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in the final hours of last workweek negated Chief Judge Biery's order and, perhaps intimidated by the flood of calls threatening to "kick the ass" of or do similar things to the lower court judge was afraid their weekend might be disturbed by the same sort of phone calls. Perhaps the final straw was the pledge of the hitherto unknown group "A GAP IN BRAINS" which apparently materialized in Wichita Falls to announce that it would make buses available to transport transients to the San Antonio rural area high school for a  "piece of disagreement" with Chief Judge Biery's order.
     The Appeals Court officially however merely explained that it would allow the "Sympathy for the Devil" sing-along to take place because prohibiting it was probably a "loser argument" since the High School had been expressly told in advance by the Valedictorian that they would lead the "Sympathy for the Devil" sing-along. In reasoning worthy of today's U.S. Supreme Court in one of its completely incomprehensible opinions, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that therefore by allowing the "Sympathy for the Devil" sing-along to be led in a graduation ceremony by the Valedictorian when the school could have in fact simply forbid it, did not mean that it would be "school-sponsored". The plaintiff student who did not want to sing the song said he would not attend graduation.

Mitt Romney Scores Points Against President Obama But Is Too Short to Win in 2012 Against Armed Perry-Palin Juggernaut

     4 May 2011, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - The Ninth Amendment condemns the FREE READING OF UNLIMITED NEW YORK TIMES' ARTICLES BY SIMPLY SETTING ONE'S FIREFOX BROWSER TO "PRIVATE BROWSING". Meanwhile Mitt Romney launched his Presidential bid amidst some possibly effective points he scored about President Obama's vulnerabilities in the 2012 Presidential Election, but Mr. Romney unfortunately was completely overlooked in the news by the latest antics of Sarah ("so what I make up my own words and facts") Palin.
      When our editorial board met Mr. Romney at a law firm breakfast in Arizona in 2006, all we can really remember is that although we usually do not eat breakfast after staying up all night, the catered spread at the firm for his morning visit was outstanding. We did not even have to eat lunch that day because we piled on so much food. No one remembers what Mr. Romney spoke about, just that we were surprised when we met him and shook his hand at how short he was. Unlike Randy Newman, we have absolutely nothing negative to say or sing about short people.
     President Obama, on the other hand, definitely is much taller, which could prove pivotal in a Presidential contest. Our Ninth Amendment log ("blog" is not a word, see the O.E.D.) examined this topic in some detail in an earlier post when President Obama visited Texas to raise money for the Democratic Party and Texas Governor Rick ("six-shooter") Perry insisted on accosting the President immediately as President Obama stepped from Air Force One upon landing in Texas.
     In that post the Ninth Amendment reporter accompanying President Obama on Air Force One described in some detail how President Obama either really did not see Governor Perry because he only stood up to about the President's beltline or President Obama simply did not care to acknowledge Governor ("six-shooter") Perry because he did not like him. In any case, that post recounted how President Obama shunted Governor Perry aside and refused to take the letter which Governor Perry attempted to thrust into the President's face. He was forced to hand it off to the President's aide.
     In any case, the letter that night apparently was opened by some intern in President Obama's administration for laughs back in Washington. Not surprisingly, the letter which ("six-shooter") Perry no doubt had written for him by a ghost writer like his later remaindered book "Fed Up" concerned the Governor's apparently sole and favorite issue which of course is that the Texas Governor needed more U.S. troops on the Mexican border to keep Texas from being invaded and overrun by Mexicans.
      The Ninth Amendment later was the first major American news organization to make the call that Governor Perry after serving as Texas Governor for as long as FDR was President would be unstoppable and elected the next President of the United States in 2012 if President Obama did not start to live up to a few more of the principles he "espoused" in his campaign. Our point to be further elucidated in an upcoming post in the Ninth Amendment log is that Mr. Romney is simply too short to beat President Obama if he is unarmed in the 2012 election, but that Mr. Perry famous for his deadly six-shooter with which he killed a coyote to "protect his dog" on his morning jog has made up for his Presidential height disadvantage by his shooting prowess.
     Together with Sarah ("I make up my own words and facts, too") Palin, clearly there may be nothing to stop the Perry-Palin juggernaut in 2012 if President Obama does not keep a few more of his campaign "promises". Of course President Obama has not gotten the United States back into the high gear it enjoyed under President Clinton because after eight years of President George ("little shrub") Bush's ruinous policies all Americans are lucky the United States still even exists. History shows that after a thoughtful and intelligent President such as President Obama, Americans hunger for another idiot in the White House to lead the country back to ruin.
     That includes even a short one such as Governor Perry who compensates for his height with his infamous deadly "six-shooter", and with the added bonus of (some say) "good" hair and a (some say) attractive Vice-President at his side who apparently is incapable of either speaking English or thinking in any way previously recognized as possible for anyone considered a somewhat "well" human being.
     Ms. Palin is in other words no Dick Cheney, but Governor "six-shooter" Perry one cannot forget spent eight years as Lieutenant Governor to George "little shrub" Bush and is a well-trained "yes" man (although Governor Perry later did confess he actually cannot stand George "little shrub" Bush). If Governor Perry is elected or otherwise made (like George "little shrub" Bush) President one can only hope that "yes" is the correct answer to any important question raised, although it is unclear if under local law in Washington, D.C. the President would be permitted to carry his six-shooter, even if his dog is threatened by coyotes.
