Tawana (another Ebonic name, though she seems to be employed) Brawley, the vicious black hoaxer, is finally delivering slander payments to the white man she claimed raped and smeared her with feces in 1987.
She still won’t admit she lied, however. Defiant all the way to the bank.
Al Sharpton, Wormtongue’s favorite “civil rights” activist who made his celebrity bones (and subsequently got a fulltime teevee gig) publicizing Tawana’s lies, apparently has already (quietly) ponied up his share.
Yes. Next question.
Wormtongue likes to compare himself to some of his predecessors. FDR and Lincoln come to mind. LBJ, not so much. But Johnson was wellknown for complaining about negative reporting, including headlines like the one in the Chattanooga Times [Not-So] Free Press. He was used to a lapdog newspaper in Austin doing his bidding.
The Worm apparently is known for calling to get sentences removed. So it just makes sense that he got editorial page editor Drew Johnson fired.
He wouldn’t even have to ask for it. A hard stare would be plenty, from this would-be dictator who (like his fellow Democrats LBJ and FDR) has used the IRS to attack his political critics.
The only way to avoid it is to become his stenographer, like, who else, the toadies at the NYTimes.

UPDATE: Remember, this is the guy who joked (in public in 2009) about having the IRS audit his enemies.

THIS HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW
Pretty incredible stuff, the videos here at the Advice Goddess. Apparently not a lone wolf operation but the latest escalation in the war on drugs. Because, otherwise…
“So how did Texas troopers hundreds of miles apart get captured on dash cams conducting body cavity searches under nearly identical conditions? ‘The fact that they both happened means there is some sort of (department) policy’ advocating their use at traffic stops, Jim Harrington of the Texas Civil Rights Project told the [New York] Daily News. ‘It’s such a prohibited practice. I don’t know why they think they can do this. It’s mind-boggling.'”
Harrington is an old Lefty ambulance chaser who’s never been shy about exaggerating the facts for political/publicity purposes, but he doesn’t seem to be twisting anything here, thanks to the videos. The searches occurred by the roadside after traffic stops. Apparently no warrants involved. Certainly no legal representation.
So far, one trooper has been suspended, but three more also are involved, in Dallas and Brazoria counties [Actually, there’s more, see my UPDATE below]. And there are at least two lawsuits from these cases now going against the Department of Public Safety, so maybe the rest of us won’t have worry about this every time a trooper decides he smells marijuana.
Can’t speak for the truth of the NYC paper’s report, of course. There’s an old tradition in the news biz that the farther away from the newsroom the story occurs, the looser with the facts the reporter and editors can and tend to be. Especially the Yankee press beating up on Texas and other Southern states.

UPDATE: This, it turns out, is old news, indeed. Not just because both incidents happened last summer, but because in May a Dallas County grand jury indicted the two troopers involved there for sexual assault and “official oppression” (interesting name for a law). One was fired and the other is on suspension. The DPS also paid $185,000 in settlement of a civil lawsuit.
In the Brazoria County incident, one trooper was fired and the other is on suspension and DPS is admitting official embarrassment: “The department does not and will not tolerate any conduct that violates the U.S. and Texas constitutions, or DPS training or policy,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw.
The Texas Rangers have investigated and recommended grand jury review and Brazoria County prosecutors are considering it. Their action may be delayed because the case seems to involve the elected county sheriff, Charles Wagner, and one of his deputies, Aaron Kindred. There’s also a pending civil lawsuit, which also includes Wagner and Kindred as defendants.
So the DPS, the Rangers, at least one grand jury and prosecutors are on the case. It’s rogue behavior and not official policy. I’m relieved.
My career Air Force father was still flying tail-draggers like this World War II C-45H every other weekend in 1958 to earn his flight pay, according to his official pilot logs which I inherited.
But no skunk. Not that we don’t keep sighting them. Two last night in the back forty. Probably the same two sighted the night before.
Our skunk hunter, of Austin’s Wildlife Removal Services (company motto: “Resolving Human and Animal Conflicts”) unfortunately keeps trapping other critters in his wire cages.
He’s embarrassed. We could tell when he lowered his price. Nevertheless, Mrs. Charm is tired of the occasional skunk smell (which the AC air compressor seems to suck inside the house) and, thus, onward!
At the current rate, however, we will have eliminated the neighborhood’s raccoons while leaving the skunks on the loose. Sigh.
UPDATE: Make that 5 raccoons and TWO armadillos. Still no skunk.
MORE: Make that 7 raccoons and three armadillos. Then, four days after we cancelled the contract, we have another skunk sighting. Damn! Wily creatures.
“Here she is, a proud warrioress of Islam, devoted to spreading the True Faith by any means necessary amongst the loathsome kaffirs who dwell in benighted darkness in the Dar al-Harb with their loose women and their thirty minute pizza delivery and their flush toilets, and she is stuck with this idiot Jew who can’t stop showing off his tallywhacker to any woman who wants to take a look at it.”

I remember the race riots of the 60s. Ninety-nine percent black, they were, mostly post-assassination of Dr. King. My Army cavalry unit trained in 68 to put one down in Baltimore if one developed there, with tear gas and a show of gleaming bayonets. Luckily for us, it never happened.
Now the great divider is saying that if he doesn’t get his way with Congress on taxes and a new spending package race relations “may get worse” cause black folks will be incensed at not getting their share of the pie. Ah, yes, the “pie” concept of economics, so beloved of Democrats. And this clown went to Harvard?
How could race relations get any worse? Wormtongue and his court media have been stirring them up since Zimmerman blew up stupid Trayvon’s punk ass.
But there’s more tragedy afoot here. So what if blacks repeat the 60s and burn down their own neighborhoods? When the looting starts, the Korean and Pakistani business owners will shoot back. And the rioters likewise won’t get far into any nearby non-black neighborhood before coming under heavy kinetics.
The so-what is that, as usual, the Latrinas and the Kemontas will be the primary victims. And their president couldn’t care less. They are his tools, and no more.
