Cenk & Johnny Pie hosting today. Cenk plays busts nuts with Johnny Pie’s sunburn. 47 people were arrested last night in Ferguson, Missouri. As unrest dwindles, police are still being out hand. A cell phone video shows a cop pointing a gun at a citizen who was asking for the officer's name. The officer's reply was “Go Fuck Yourself”. Rosemary Church of CNN offers another strategy for dealing with protesters by asking “why not use water cannons?” Lt. Governor Peter Kinder of Missouri needlessly characterizes the justice system in Ferguson as an “anglo-american justice system”. Capt. Ron Johnson’s character is being assassinated with pictures of the Capt. taken with various citizens of Ferguson showing scary hand signs falsely described as gang signs. The hand sign in question, however, is a greeting from the black college fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi that was formed in 1911. Ooops. Cenk reveals the “Amazing Fact Of The Day” on the first cop shooting in Iceland. Scientist Art Robinson from Oregon is running for US congress against Pete De Fazio and is requesting 1,000 urine samples from voters for a research study on aging. Citizens of Israel are requesting sperm samples from Israeli soldiers who have had combat experience for the Rambam Medical Center. Microsoft has announced that it is no longer participating with -- or contributing any dues to -- the American Legislative Exchange Council a.k.a ALEC. Other companies like GM, Coca Cola, Proctor & Gamble and Bank Of America recently severed ties with ALEC . Google, Facebook, Ebay,Yahoo and Yelp remain with the organization.
