Reefer Man

I've known for the past five years that David Goodner (pictured) is a "Dumbass", now he's made more people aware of what a real moron he is.

Police arrest one protester, others file complaint against bank

Goodner, and a few of his Occupy-err friends, wanted to read a letter inside Wells Fargo accusing the institution of using predatory lending practices, financing private prisons and avoiding fair taxes.

Police said the off-duty officers working in the bank allowed Goodner to enter to hand the letter to a bank official.

According to authorities, officers asked him several times to leave but he refused and resisted arrest. He was charged with trespass, interference with official acts, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Goodner acknowledged being determined to finish reading the letter but said he stopped resisting once he realized uniformed police officers were trying to arrest him.

At that point it's too late Dumbass and the scientific community is united in that fact.

This isn't Goodner's first arrest, Must Be The Ganja that messed with his instincts.

The remaining societal misfits proceeded to another bank where Jessica Reznicek and Julie Brown became trapped in the lobby and cut off from the rest of the group.

The two claimed they were trapped in the bank for more than 10 minutes and filed a police report.

Crime scene, or merely confused by a revolving door?

Goody Goody

Three cheers to the F.B.I. for keeping an eye on that Socialist/Peace-a-fist/Professional Student David Goodner and any organization he's ASSociated with.

Goober, err Goodner was not happy to hear his group was infiltrated...

"There is no justification for spying on nonviolent pacifist groups."

NONviolent?

I hear a crash. I look to my right and see a ground-level window in Macy's shattering. Bits of glass scatter across the sidewalk. A kid wearing a black bandana across his face is walking away. He's holding a hammer. He walks up to an empty cop car and sends the hammer through the driver's window. Another guy is yanking off the license plate. Farther up the street, I see someone slashing the tires of a parked Ford sedan.

This Dumbass has a history of anger management problems himself and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Goober, err Goodner then shows what a waste his education has been when he says...

"Our road blockade at the RNC and our peaceful preparations beforehand are protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. We have the right to speak out against the policies of our government..."

BUZZ--WRONG!

The First Amendment doesn't protect your road blockade.

Goober's, err Goodner's all about his free speech rights, but goes out of his way to shut down others speech.

Next time Goober, err Goodner leaves, don't let him back in the country.

Reasons To Quit

In his comedy concert film, Himself, Bill Cosby has a routine about drugs that includes marijuana and cocaine.

"Tell me, what is it about cocaine that makes it so wonderful," and he said, "Well it intensifies your personality." I said, "Yes, but what if you're an asshole?"

I mention that because the Liter has learned that David Goodner is entering rehab.

Regardless of the outcome, Goodner will still be an asshole and the scientific community is united in that fact.

He'll still be a "Dumbass" too, because Goodner is going to enter an Alcoholics Anonymous program to see whether he has a substance abuse problem.

Reefer Man was not busted in the bank for carrying a concealed flask, it was for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Professional protesting is Goodner's job, thanks to Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (ICCI, that's ICKY to us), and his using during work indicates he has a substance abuse problem that he seems to be denying.

Finally, we're a little sad that The Bean Walker did not give us credit for the photo chop on this pic of Goodner that they used.

However, we're considering seeing someone to find out if it's a problem.

Rehab?

Our favorite "Dumbass" is back with the loons that are Occupy Iowa.

David Goodner is the only occupy-err quoted in this Ragister article

Occupy Des Moines announces location for “People’s Caucus”

It was just last month the Goodner was busted for trespass, interference with official acts, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

After which Goodner said he would -- Remove myself as a public face of the organization –my personal credibility has been damaged and for the good of the movement, I am distancing myself from Occupy Des Moines effective immediately. I will not attend General Assembly meetings or publicly participate in any actions or events until after the New Year.

Looks like lying was not one of those defects of character Goodner had removed during his Alcoholics Anonymous Twelve Step Program and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Schooling the schoolboy

Full time socialist, peace-a-fist, student and who knows what else David Goodner has thin skin and a thick head.

He's also got his head so far up his ass that when he farts he thinks its fresh air.

Goodner doesn't see any problems with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

"What’s the big deal about Ahmadinejad anyway?"

"Outside of Israel, Iran is the most democratic nation-state in the Middle East..."

When the "Supreme Leader" of a country is selected by an "Assembly of Experts" and the government must approve the candidates, that's NOT democratic!

Although it does sound like a Dummycrat convention in this country.

Goodner also goes "like" ballistic on his blog about the baby boom generation versus his Generation X, Generation Y and Zzzzzzz.

It's obvious at 26, and a senior, that David doesn't want to grow up and he admits as much by stating...you can start calling me Peter Pan.

(More like Peter Panty waste and the scientific community is united in that fact).

He then attempts some sort of threat...You Captain Hook mo’fo’s better watch out. The Lost Boys (and Girls) are coming for you.

That doesn't sound very peaceful coming from someone who's supposed to be concerned about human rights.

I'll just speak for myself, but in the words of the Decider, Bring it on!

Who Are You?

I'm glad to see that Occupy Iowa/Des Moines were denied an extension of their camping permit at the Statehouse grounds.

Spokesmodel David Goodner said --

“This is state government standing on the side of big corporations and big money and against hardworking people and families. And it raises the risk of confrontation tonight.”

Goodner is a paid Community Organizer by Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (ICCI, that's ICKY to us) that is a 501c3 organization.

Which means ICCI is a tax exempt organization and donations to it are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Maybe it's time for the IRS and The Iowa Department of Revenue to look into the exemptions for this liberal-leaning social advocacy group.

Unlike "Dumbass" Goodner, most hardworking people aren't wasting their time with these societal misfits because they're too busy doing what needs to be done to move this country forward and the scientific community is united in that fact.

On the national level these misfits are being tied to George Soros and Adbusters, an anti-capitalist group in Canada which started the protests with an inventive marketing campaign aimed at sparking an Arab Spring type uprising against Wall Street.

These misfits are taking their cues from a bunch of Hosers!

CommieTommie Harkin also supports these misfits and is “very encouraged” by the movement of “rank-and-file Americans”.

St. Thomas of Equine Ass got the rank part right.

Devil Inside?

Our favorite card-carrying socialist, David Goodner, will have to get used to being called "Dumbass", this time by his kid as the Ragister reported he's going to be a DAD.

Are Goodner and his Occupy-err partner Megan Felt going to bring baby up in one of those tents at Itchycoo Park?

Instead of cigars will new Dad David pass around a doobie?

You know they're going to give it one of those effed up peace-a-fist names and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Hopefully, Felt, who’s been arrested about a dozen times, hasn't been fired from her Marketing Coordinator position with Pella Corporation so their kid will have benefits.

I will celebrate that they are keeping the kid, as I'm sure both are pro abortion.

Goodner joined a pro abortion protest in 2008 and was arrested when he interfered with an anti-abortion protest.

In other Occupy-err news an 8 year old who took part in a demonstration yesterday accurately summed up the entire movement with -- “It felt like we made (the signs) for nothing.”

Also yesterday, Occupy-errs further showed their ignorance as they demanded a meeting with Chris Matthews of MSNBC because, “We do not have a free press here. It’s commercial and they’re in the league with the 1%”.

The "free press" they were seeking is owned by Comcast Corporation and GE.

Let's Get Serious

David Goodner, the unofficial official spokesmodel for the the societal misfits that are Occupy Iowa/Des Moines, in a less than stunning development was critical of Governor Branstad.

'Occupy' organizer: Branstad is out of touch

In the world according to Goodner --

“We are the 99 percent. I think that sets up a pretty clear dichotomy. Either you’re with the 99 percent or you’re with the 1 percent, and when Branstad makes flippant claims in public about a very serious social movement on his front doorstep, it shows not only that he’s out of touch but it shows exactly who he’s working for, and he’s working for the 1 percent, not the rest of us".

A very serious movement?

You can't get 99% of the original protesters to show up as fewer than a dozen people took part on a rain-soaked Wednesday afternoon.

The only serious movement going on is in the port-o-potties and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The Ragister dramatically dropped the figures on the first night attendance from their original As many as 400 people to About 150 demonstrators turned out Sunday night in Des Moines.

That's quite a swing downward.

"Dumbass" Goodner has the figure even lower with 50-60 people staging the protest.

Youth is wasted on the young

Thumbing through the Ragister today, I glanced at the bottom and found them hyping one of their socialist bloggers.

Eighth year University of Iowa Senior David Goodner, 26, is bragging about the role young people are playing in the peace movement.

Goodner cites an Associated Press article about a protest against corporate devil Haliburton (once led by Darth Cheney) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The only quote from the protesters is a 37 year old!

Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children--George Bernard Shaw

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

Occupy Your Mind

The Liter is disappointed to see the societal misfits that are Occupy Iowa/Des Moines were given a permit to camp out in what David Goodner is calling the People’s Park.

That should have been a given since the Goodner hails from the People's Republic of Iowa City.

Hey "Dumbass", that park is courtesy of the people that pay taxes and I'm betting there aren't too many of those in your movement and the scientific community is united in that fact.

As part of obtaining the permit, the misfits may not use sidewalk chalk on the grounds or deface state property in any way which Sonya Heitshusen reported occurred (to statues) on Sunday.

Meanwhile, back in the People's Republic, UI History Professor Shelton Stromquist, who studies social and labor issues and the Iowa labor movement, was quoted regarding the movement...

“It’s frustration that the Republican-controlled congress has been so unwilling to address the need for equality and the growing need for jobs, and it’s frustration with the Obama administration for being unwilling to take a stand against people profiting from the recession”.

We'll have to give the Professor a failing grade as control of Congress is split between the Dummycrat controlled Senate and the Republican led House.

My tax dollars not at work there.

The Revolution?

The Occupy Wall Street-errs movement arrived in Des Moines yesterday as several hundred societal misfits, As many as 200 people to As many as 400 people depending on the media count, gathered on the statehouse grounds.

#1, or #2, on the order of business for the movement was to figure out where to take a movement...

“I think that the issue of bathroom facilities is of the utmost importance because of the cops, again,” a woman said, referencing the Des Moines Police squad cars that were in a nearby parking lot. “I don’t want anyone getting arrested for indecent exposure.”

Our favorite "Dumbass" was there.

David Goodner, moving from professional student to professional protester, has consistently remained a professional pain in the ass and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The movement was to have cleared the statehouse grounds by 11 p.m. because they did not have a permit to camp on state-owned land.

Police arrested demonstrators who were camped in about two dozen tents in front of the Iowa Statehouse late Sunday night, after warning them twice that they were trespassing.

Goodner, an organizer, was willing to risk arrest night after night if others join him.

“This movement is about reclaiming our power as people. This is the people’s park. It’s our place,” he said. “You can’t stop this movement.”

The Revolution was even televised on www.dmlive.tv thanks to Clark Davidson, or Clarke Davidson, again depending on the media.

When I clicked the link last night, the livestream first featured an ad for Jimmy Johns and this morning there was an ad for Wal Mart.

Can you appreciate the irony?

Peaceniks Untie, err tie one on?

"There is a rank due to the United States, among nations, which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war." --George Washington


Friday was the 25th Anniversary of their International Day of Peace.

I didn't have a peaceful day yesterday, I believe I should be able to sue the U.N. and the scientific community is united in that fact.

A few dozen peace activists have been busy the last few days with their offensive.

Thursday in the heart of The People's Republic of Johnson County, Iowa City, Professional student (he's 26 and finally a Senior) David Goodner led a sad group of socialists in a "die in".

As usual with the ADHD peace-a-fists, they try and fit all perceived egregious sins, against only democracies, into their social gatherings.

This usually involves; The Palestinians, Haiti, the Philippines, Nicaragua, worker's rights, illegal aliens, welfare and gay rights.

It appears Goodner's good buddies were able to limit it to Palestine.

Friday, a handful of students and Professional protester Frank Cordaro held a sit in at the Des Moines office of Senator Charles Grassley.

It came about because there was no school that day and it doesn't matter to Cordaro, because he has no job.

Today is Des Moines second annual Peace Fair and will include food & merchandise vendors, arts and crafts, children's cooperative games, dance and music that will include the Rappin' Mamas .

Peace, Love, Dopes.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse.
A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature, who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other. --John Stuart Mill

If you want peace, prepare for war.---Flavius Vegetius Renatus (Roman General)

Mickey Mouse March?

Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (ICCI, that's ICKY to us) is holding their annual convention in Johnston today.

Later, they're planning a march on Terrace Hill, home of current Iowa Governor Terry Branstad.

I wonder how all these environmental types, emphasis on the mental, are getting from Johnston to just West of Downtown Des Moines?

It's at least 13 miles and a 20 minute trip.

The geniuses behind the event picked a day when Branstad will be in Salt Lake City at a meeting of the National Governors Association, as well as one of the hottest and most humid days of the summer.

All the usual suspects will be there and the scientific community is united in that fact.

ASSme promises it to be the most exciting, can’t-miss, direct action street protest the state of Iowa has seen in a long time.

David Osterberg and our other favorite David will be there too.













GOODNER!



According to Goodner, “We are united around a vision about a more just government that puts Iowas first.”

"Dumbass"

Another ICKY, err ICCI member said --

“Hundreds of every day people from community organizations and labor unions across the state of Iowa will march on Terrace Hill Saturday to demand a more just and democratic Iowa that puts communities before corporations and people before profits, politics, and polluters.”

That's a mouthful from an organization, and its members, who seem to take more from the government than what they contribute.

Yellow Bird

Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (ICCI, that's ICKY to us) is promising a Big Bird protest at Mitt Romney's rally in Van Meter today.

ICKY says -- “Big Bird and ‘Sesame Street’ didn’t cause the economic crisis and financial meltdown, the big banks on Wall Street did. The letter B is for bully, and that’s exactly what Mitt Romney is: a bully who picks on PBS instead of Goldman Sachs.”

The letter R stands for REBUTTAL...

Former Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) chairman Kenneth Tomlinson agrees it’s time to pull the plug. “Public television doesn’t need this massive bureaucracy funded by the American taxpayers called CPB to survive and be successful,” Mr. Tomlinson said in an interview. “PBS now has this highly successful show, ‘Downton Abbey.’ Such shows as well as Big Bird do not depend on taxpayer funding of the plush CPB bureaucracy in Washington.”

The letter W is for WASTE...

Sesame Workshop, the independent nonprofit corporation that produces the popular childrens’ program Sesame Street, received a $1,067,532 stimulus bill grant in August 2010, via the Department of Health and Human Services. The funding was to promote healthy eating according to the federal Recovery.gov website.

The projected created “1.47″ new jobs, the website reported which comes out to about $726,000 per job created.

The Recovery Act website lists the healthy eating project as more than 50 percent completed though most of the grant money appears to have been drawn.

The Liter would like to suggest our favorite "Dumbass" David Goodner for the Big Bird role.

 Goodner wouldn't even need to wear a costume and the scientific community is united in that fact.

You Said

Here are some stupid things said by stupid people that made the media recently.

Connie Ryan-Terrell of the Interfaith Alliance of Iowa Action Fund opposed putting a flat-tax option in the Iowa code for fear it would “be tweaked” in the future to become the basis for taxing income in Iowa.

Catch a clue Connie, the subject was Iowa's income tax system.

In the same article, the "Dumbass" that is David Goodner said --

“because we believe a flat tax is a regressive, race-to-the-bottom proposal that overwhelmingly benefits the very rich at the expense of everyday people and hardworking families. Iowa’s very wealthy have a responsibility to pay their fair share of taxes, and this proposal does not make them do that. We support fair taxes, not flat taxes, and ask that this bill not move forward.”

To Goodner (Reasons To Quit) and his ilk, fair taxes are ones they don't pay, but reap the benefits of and the scientific community is united in that fact. 

Elsewhere, Harry Reid said -- “Always consider the source. All anyone here has to look at is the source where this comes from.”

This comment came when the press asked about the possibility of an FBI investigation of Senator Bob Menendez (Dummycrat/New Jersey).

Let's hope the media keeps that quote in mind when Harry says some of his stupid shit, like he did, about people not paying any taxes for a 10 year period, or a major insurance company.

Minuteman Project

According to the director of the Iowa Center for Immigrant Leadership and Integration at the University of Northern Iowa, has estimated that 50,000 to 75,000 Latinos in Iowa are here illegally.

Guestimates would be more accurate if they doubled or tripled those figures.

Keeping that in mind there was a rally at the Iowa Statehouse against illegal immigration this past weekend, the Ragister reported 50 people attended.

In his remarks to the gathering Representative Steve King (R-IA) said the concept of a fence across the U.S.-Mexican border recently won approval from Congress because of grass-roots support from Americans who are unhappy about illegal immigration.

In a bit of a surprise there were no counter-protesters.

I say that because of the October 4th assault on the Minutemen at Columbia University. The groups founder (Jim Gilchrist) was invited to speak, but before he could do so the stage was stormed and a melee ensued.

Last Thursday the Ragister ran an opinion piece from David Goodner of the People's Republic of Johnson County (Iowa City) regarding the Columbia incident.

In the opinion of Goodner....I'm not sure which side of the free-speech issue to support. Everyone has a right to express his or her opinion, but racist scapegoating should not be up for academic discussion. Hate groups like the Minutemen do not present legitimate, reasonable debate.

This was after he noted....students jumped on stage during Gilchrist's speech and unfolded a banner that said, "No one is illegal." Hundreds of students chanted, "Minutemen, Nazis, KKK, racists, fascists, go away!" Unfortunately, the encounter soon turned violent.

Don't you just love Fiberals and their do as I say not as I do reality.

The only Free Speech they believe in is their own!

My friend Cal recently sent me this analogy regarding illegal immigration...

This summer large demonstrations were held across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.

Let's say, I break into your house. Let's say, that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors; I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).

According to the protesters, not only must you let me stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan, educate my kids, and provide other benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard work because he too is hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part). If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my right to be there.

It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm hard working and honest, um, except for, well, you know.

And what a deal it is for me!! I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of selfishness, prejudice, and being an anti-housebreaker. Oh yeah, and I want you to learn my language so you can communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?!

Only in America!

Guilty Of The Crime

Our favorite Dumbass (David Goodner) and his boss (Hugh Espey) were found guilty of misdemeanor trespassing, for their part in Occupying State Capitol grounds.

It couldn't happen to assier people and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The same thing should have happened to Ed Fallon, and probably would have with a better judge, than Romonda Belcher (Mrs. Wayne Ford), and county prosecutor.

Even the "Dumbass" had that figured when he shared prosecutors “in general presented a much stronger case than they did the first time around.”

Money To Blow

Instead of Big Bird, as we suggested (Yellow Bird), our favorite "Dumbass" David Goodner went to the Romney rally dressed as Elmo.

I was surprised the Ragister referred to them as ragtag.

This bunch despise the 1% and Wall Street, but are big fans of Sesame Street because that is their intellectual level and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Sesame Street, more like Wallet Street, is part of the 1% with 2011 total revenue of $134 million and their total assets are valued at $289 million.

Former Sesame Workshop CEO Gary Knell earned $988,456 in the fiscal year that ended in June 2011, and the current CEO, H. Melvin Ming, made $584,572 during the same period, records show.

“Carroll Spinney, who has played Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch since the show’s inception, earned more than $314,000 in compensation in 2011.” 

Time to leave the nest and go free, Bird.

The Difference?

An anarchist-style movement is urging its supporters to shut down the Iowa caucuses, but Occupy Iowa/Des Moines says it's different than their Occupy the Cauc-eye.

There are differences?

Neither group has formal leadership and both are considered to be more of a movement than an organization.

Both claim to be operating peacefully.

One claims, “The primaries and caucuses put on by these parties are part of an elaborate scam that deceives the public into voting for candidates that serve the private interests of the mega corporations. These parties have deliberately driven tens of millions of people into poverty.”

The other has deep concerns about whether the majority of Iowans are truly represented at what is often touted as a grass-roots event.

“This is not, in fact, a valid medium for the concerns of many”.

One is a group of hackers and the other a group of slackers, no difference there and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Even "Dumbass" and professional protester David Goodner says, “There might be some overlap” in what the groups believe.

The only difference
That I see
Is you are exactly the same
As you used to be

Itchycoo Park

The Liter is proposing that as the new name for Des Moines' Stewart Square, the now home of the relocated societal misfits that are Occupy Iowa/Des Moines.

Occupy Iowa protesters accept mayor’s offer, move to city park

Frank Cownie, pictured with President Obama, saved the protest-errs from once again getting their ass kicked by authority and the scientific community is united in that fact.

It seems that's what official spokesmodel and "Dumbass" David Goodner wanted when he spoke of "the risk of a big confrontation".

The Occupy-errs were hoping to attract hundreds – if not more than 1,000 – protestors to the Capitol grounds to try to thwart the state from arresting trespassers.

How'd that work out 99?

You'd be better off counting on Red Balloons!

Cownie, who should have provided furs to keep the Occupy-errs warm, told the protest-errs --

“We want you to feel like that’s a good place to gather” and “I want my police force out taking care of the bad guys and arresting criminals”.

Cownie, is Mayor of a city planning to cut 11-percent from its budget and some vital services to overcome a budget shortfall of about $7.7 million.

Yeah, he needs a raise.

He better hope none of the cities resources will be wasted on Itchycoo Park.

What did you do there?
I got high
What did you feel there?
Well I cried
But why the tears there?
I'll tell you why
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful

Tell you what I'll do (what will you do?)
I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school (won't that be cool)
Why go to learn the words of fools?
What will we do there?
We'll get high
What will we touch there?
We'll touch the sky
