Monkey butt powder.

I've got a white powdery substance in an old sock I'd love to shove in his fat yap. But I'm not done with it yet.

The Yahoo comments are hysterical

Knowing Joe Arpaio's penchant for political drama, probably came from him.

vudukungfu: I've got a white powdery substance in an old sock I'd love to shove in his fat yap. But I'm not done with it yet.

That would be grounds for good ol' Joe to arrest someone with dark skin, you know, just to be sure.

The Onion is prophetic: When was the last time a white powdery substance in an envelope ended up being harmful? Since the Anthrax stuff right after 9/11 (a decade ago), every single incident has been baking soda, baby powder, or something similar. The Anthrax demon is gone, folks, quit crying whenever someone mails you a sugar packet.

what's really farking sad is we don't know (within a reasonable doubt) who did it.

I'm from Australia. This Joe Apario [that's how I say it] is just about as famous as Tim Tebow or Ryan farking Seacrest [whoever the fark he is]. Do you guys ever stop talking about him?

From what I gather, he's like the Sherriff from Porky's? A bit of a meanie? And he also doesn't want the USA to be overrun by immigrants? And this burns some peoples' asses so much that he appears once a week on Fark and Metafilter and Boing Boing?

My guess is donut residue.

Tennozan: That would be grounds for good ol' Joe to arrest someone with dark skin, you know, just to be sure.

he ain't bullet proof.

Probably has something to do with Arpaio investigating O-liar's ineligibility.

White and powdery? In a police station?

Was the FBI waiting outside to grab him when he came through the door?

Actually him not investigating over 400 sexual assaults and his refusal to act on the 45,000 felony warrants sitting in his office upset some of us. Add to that the the Millions he costs taxpayers in lawsuits, combined with his odd notion that Brown people don't really have Constitutional Rights and then you'll start to see why he burns some of our asses.

What is funny is that his going after illegals actually creates more of them coming to the area to try for the jobs of the ones he arrested, therby creating a self feeding monster

He's more crooked than an Englishman's teeth.

Regularly sends his deputies to raid the homes of his political opponents and judges who make rulings against him regardless of any actual criminal wrongdoing on their part, once ran an attack ad during a reelection campaign basically accusing his opponent of playing "Rancher From New Zealand" while his mom was the sheep (the accusation was false, but enough of the elderly xenophobic luddites who live in his county believed it for Sheriff Joe to win handily), and he seems to have a fetish for Mexican guys wearing pink panties.

45,000?

Lyin' around? Uninvestigated? And he has that much power he can let that happen? Why haven't the Feds tried to take him out with a convoluted charge of dereliction of duty?

Surely the FBI could think of something if they really wanted to.

Not their call. That falls to the County Supervisors who won't take him to task for fear of reprisals. Anytime anyone has questioned him about the warrants, his response is he doesn't have the manpower to serve them.

Someone is definitely going to die of dehydration in a tent prison for this.

Nadie_AZ: Weaver95: hmm...I wonder if this was merely a ploy to destroy and/or remove records from the office? Anyone know if the Fed has been investigating our favorite little tin pot dictator lately?

Of course they have. They told him to cooperate. He told them to give him all their evidence. They told him they got it from him, initially. He told them he'd only cooperate 'to a point'. Old people jizzed, took their heart medication, and sent him more money.

And then he began to raise Russell Pearce's political career from the grave.

It has been revived some what. Guess who got a couple of new jobs. Russel is not gone or forgotten he is now the Vice President of the GOP party for the state and the President of a group called Ban Amnesty Now. I wouldn't be surprised to see his name pop up again in dist 18.

THIS. If you think a white, semi-intelligent American with either family to help or a part time job is going to go out and pick cabbages, well, you are wrong. I took some homeless dudes out to the tomato fields one day for a job and the toughest one only made it through three days. Kind of like the Norwegians having a problem with people from Poland during berry season because I can assure you, you're not getting a Nordic person or one of the Sami out there to pick berries.

Immigration into wealthier countries, even the illegal kind of immigration, is common all over the world, but in the USA it's a year round problem, especially in California.

If you're so fond of the cocksucker, we'd be happy to send him to Australia.
How about we ship him to you C.O.D.?

We can add Jan and Russel as free bookends too.

My guess is that they're waiting until they have an airtight case against him and that their paperwork is properly filled out, including crossing their Ts and dotting their lower-case Js.

The moment they slap cuffs on that pig, he and his supporters will decry the FBI's actions as a politically motivated witch hunt, and if he ends up going free on a technicality (or if there is no "Get Out Of Jail Free" blooper on the part of the feds but there are enough Pro-Joe jurors to prevent a guilty verdict from happening) he's pretty much guaranteed to be sheriff until he dies or retires.

This is the fundamental problem with our anti-illegal-immigration system, period. We focus on the illegal immigrants, NOT the people willing to hire them for cheap labor. Without focusing on the businesses that knowingly hire and exploit illegal immigrants, any deportation is gonna be futile.

Of course, it's more or less futile anyway, until Mexico and various South/Central American countries are less shiathole-ish.

So 2003.

Sheriff Joe: also a farking whore.

I'd be interested in seeing some data/facts to back that up. Got any?

Come to Cali and see it with your own eyes. There will be a round up, then two, three days later a whole new crop shows up to, well, harvest our crops. AZ isn't the only state with cities on the border. We just don't try to kill them when they get here.

As for the Zonies clogging up our freeways when they're here on vacation - them I am sorely tempted to aim at in my Gran's giant boat of a car. Learn to farkin' drive!!!

Even if you took away all the racial profiling and roundups of anyone looking vaguely Hispanic, Sheriff Joe is still an utter scumbag responsible for horrible abuses of civil liberties and human rights.

I just hope he lives long enough to go to prison.

Thank goodness you have a good reason for not knowing who sheriff Joe Arpaio is and why he is a wicked sack of sewage.

Two words: "Reichstag fire."

A big problem is that produce production is dependent on illegal labor. They're paid by units of product harvested, not by the hour, they're housed in company camps (hopefully better than those described in The Grapes of Wrath), and they essentially live for the job during the harvest seasons. The produce they harvest can't be readily harvested by machine either, as there's no automated way to cut lettuce, and no good ways to pick fruit from trees.

If the work paid a living wage then prices for domestically grown produce would skyrocket, and consumers would probably turn to imported fruit from central america during the northern hemisphere growing season.

I don't have a good solution unfortunately. In the past when American harvested produce, it was mostly teenagers and young adults doing it when school was out. I don't see that model returning.

The feds could always 'accidentally' shoot him during a scuffle while they're trying to arrest him.

To try to bring some balance. Yes, they are lying around, no they are NOT uninvestigated. They are arrest warrants, not crime reports that need investigating. The sheriff says ( and no one has proven ottherwise) that his office is not required by law to serve the warrants (other county sheriffs in the state DO serve their various municipalities' warrants. He also says he will gladly serve them if the legislature gives him the money for staff to do so. So, it's a budget war.
