Good Lord is this disturbing! And yes, I know the photo has been tinkered with.

Take a moment to be utterly flabbergasted at how inappropriate and opportunistic Sarah Palin’s self-serving “blood libel” statement is regarding her supposed influence on the AZ shooter, Jared Loughner…

I know people are dumb, especially the vast majority of folks who call themselves Republicans, but they can’t be that dumb (or can they?) to think she’s doing anything more than “acting” statesmanlike or pretending to give a shit – especially when she’s such a bad fucking actor. The whole thing’s so amateurish. Her speech is just rambling nonsense. And they couldn’t even work out how to stop the teleprompter reflecting in her glasses. Whenever she even attempts empathy, she comes across like a glove puppet. An inarticulate glove puppet, at that.

She can’t even say “God bless America” as if she means it! Those three words are the cornerstone of her schtick!

Jared Lee Loughner is identified as the man responsible for a shooting this morning, in Tuscon, Arizona, which left 10 people injured, 5 critically, and six confirmed dead, including a 9-year-old girl and Judge John Roll.

Amongst the injured is Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot at allegedly point blank range - the bullet going “through-and-through her head.”

Loughner is a 22-year-old native of Arizona, who allegedly has his own You Tube Channel “classitup10” that contains very strange and disturbing messages, including his Final Thoughts, in which he writes:

I’m a sleepwalker - who turns off the alarm clock.

Jared also writes about terrorism, grammar, the value of money and the Bible in a rather cryptic fashion, and attacks the US government for implying “mind control” and “brainwash”. In conclusion, Jared writes:

I can’t trust the current government because of the ratification: The government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar.

No! I won’t pay debt with a currency that’s not backed by gold and silver!

No! I won’t trust in God!

What’s government if words don’t have meaning?

Under interests, Jared writes in past tense:

My favorite interest was reading, and I studied grammar. Conscience dreams were a great study in college!

He lists as his favorite books, again in the past tense:

I had favorite books: Animal Farm, Brave New World, The Wizard Of OZ, Aesop Fables, The Odyssey, Alice Adventures Into Wonderland, Fahrenheit 451, Peter Pan, To Kill A Mockingbird, We The Living, Phantom Toll Booth, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Pulp,Through The Looking Glass, The Communist Manifesto, Siddhartha, The Old Man And The Sea, Gulliver’s Travels, Mein Kampf, The Republic, and Meno.

No doubt Mein Kampf and The Communist Manifesto will be highlighted for agenda-pushing. But there are also books by Ken Kesey, Charles Bukowski, Lewis Carroll, Harper Lee, Ernest Hemingway, Herman Hesse, Ray Bradbury, Plato, Homer, Norton Juster, Jonathan Swift, Aldous Huxley, George Orwell and J M Barrie. If anything is notable is the mix of children’s fantasy and parable.
