Each day we offer samples of headlines that appeared in the world press along with our comments.

Australia, Sydney Morning Herald:  ”Police Close Illegal Bar”

That means a bar that did not pay off the police.

USA, NY Post: “CIA Thwarts Underwear Bomber”

Whew, one smelly story if you ask me.

Norway, Norway Post:  ”Head On Crash With Train”

We are pleased to report the train is doing well.

Canada, Toronto Star:   “Pushing Past The Limit And Proud”

The story of our beloved Republican party.

Turkey, Hurriyet:  ”Violence Not Linked To Education”

Depends on how you define, “education.”

Listening to Stalin talk?

Mitt DumbThen And Now!

Posted on May 16, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Mitt Romney is upset because is enemies are calling into today, some mistakes, not that he really may have committed those mistakes, into existence. OK, so he led a gang when an adolescent which held down a boy and cut off his hair because the boy was sort of effeminate. OK, so he led a near blind teachers into a door and giggled at the sight. It WAS funny. OK, so his current attitude is: “You know,, I, I did some dumb things and if anybody was hurt or offended, obviously, I apologize.”

 

Of course during adolescent years we all do some dumb things, and we all regret those actions, but the key issue is “do we recall the hurts we did to others?” And, are we truly sorry for what transpired in the past. But, the essential issue is “did we learn from mistakes of the past?” Today, Mitt denies supporting women rights, he denies supporting gay rights, he denies being in support of healthcare for all. It is interesting that he never apologizes for denying what he did and never stands up for doing the right thing–years ago, that is. To stand up for  social justice is the mark of a real man–and a decent human being.

Germans Baffled By US Opposing Healthcare!!

Posted on May 16, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Most Europeans are baffled by the controversy in America concerning national health care. Republicans claim national health care insurance is an example of Socialism or Communism. It originally was introduced into Germany in the NINETEENTH CENTURY by arch CONSERVATIVE Otto von  Bismarck in order to challenge Socialism. Europeans understand that health insurance MUST include healthy as well as sick people or the insurance system would  collapse, that is a basic concept of all insurance plans.

German businessmen are completely confused why American businessmen do not support national health insurance. In Europe, businessmen can produce cars without worrying about the large cost paid by American businessmen for worker health care. Americans now rank about 15th in life expectancy and more children die young than in  20 other nations.

Cynthia Barcomi, a German cafe owner put it this way: “The national healthcare system is an incredibly important thing for everybody, for the entire society and for the health of society.” Conservatives insist they are religious. Do any of them believe Jesus would have opposed health care for the poor??

Gay Not Right In Virginia!

Posted on May 16, 2012 by | Leave a comment

It is perfectly OK in the state of Virginia  to be gay, that is, to laugh and to giggle and to have a good time, but, it is not gay to be gay. Tracy Thorne-Begland, an outstanding lawyer had his name recommended to become a district judge, and although he received 33-31 votes in the General Assembly, the governor did not think it gay to select an openly gay person. Among complaints was that he would be prejudiced on cases dealing with gay defendants.

Let me get this straight, if one is pro-business, then one is NOT prejudiced when cases come before the bar. If one is pro-Christianity, then one is NOT prejudiced if a defendant is Christian. I get it, the concept of “prejudice” does not come into play until you display signs of being a gay person!

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Posted on May 15, 2012 by | Leave a comment

We offer observations on the human condition from a 21 year old mind trapped in an 81 year old body.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

A successful political leader, leads, not follows public opinion.

All too many spume who they are is all they can be.

Some whine about fate, I accept it, but I may change its terms.

As a child, I accepted life as is, as an adult I often seek to change the “as is.”

Words not spoken can not return to haunt us.

I had an unspoken love for my pop.

My mother lived in anger, my father in silence.

From my parents I learned the importance of love.

People insist on toasting my bagel, I was raised with warm fresh bagels.

Since leaving the armed forces I have never worn a badge which informs the world as to who I am.

Interesting advice. “If you know the line that you will next write, cease writing and try again later.”

Some peer at newspaper as it lies on table. I do not.

Mystery  of life: Is it permissible to eat while friend is getting coffee?

Kansas Opposes Islamic Law!!

Posted on May 15, 2012 by | Leave a comment

The state legislature of Kansas has passed legislation that prevents Muslim terrorists from seizing control of our courts and forcing decent, hard working American patriots to adhere to Muslim law. At last count, there are at least 121 Muslims in Kansas and thus there effort to subvert state law has been ended! The people of Kansas can sleep tonight knowing that when they awake in the morning Sharia law will not compel them to pray facing Mecca nor will women have to wear a niquab!

There are reports that members of the Kansas legislature wept with joy at their courageous act in holding back hordes of Muslims who intended to take over the state government. Ministers uttered prayers, people hugged and kissed one another in the streets of Kansas towns since they were saved from evil Muslim terrorists. God Bless Kansas.

The state  legislature also passed laws that prevent Kansas courts from citing laws in other nations when rendering decisions. I think this will create a problem since the United  States historically has been based on English common  law!

Farewell Ron

Posted on May 15, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Ron Paul has suspended his quest for the presidency of the United States of America. At least he has ended visits to states where he explains how resorting to 15th century economic theory will end the current recession in America. I realize that millions of Americans are devout believers in 15th century economics and are fervently dedicated to the proposition that if wealthy folk could get all the money in the nation, they would share that wealth with those lacking money. Of course, that does not mean actually sharing wealth, it does mean you can eat gobs of macaroni.

Some might claim that Ron Paul only cares about wealthy people. That is not exactly  correct. He NEVER said the top one percent should get ALL the money, he always insisted at least one percent of our wealth should wind up in the hands of the 99%. He has always been a fervent supporter of soup kitchens run by the Salvation  Army. He has always supported begging on street corners. Ron believes in people and if they beg enough , they eventually will have money to open their own business and become a job creator!

Mitt Rings Liberty Bell For Bigots!

Posted on May 14, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Mitt Romney appeared at Liberty University to give a commencement address before nice, polite conservative young men and women. He was speaking at a college founded by Jerry Falwell who blamed AIDs on the “wrath of a Just God against homosexuals” so what else could Mitt do but blast gays and lesbians. “Marriage is a relationship between one man and one woman.”

Gee, that clears things up given that the Romney family used to practice polygamy which entails one man with several women. His grandfather escaped to Mexico so he could have more than one woman as his wife. If polygamy is evil that means Mitt  was born in evil and thus must serve the purposes of the Devil, himself!!

“What Was That I Said?”

Posted on May 14, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker enjoys portraying himself as a noble k night holding off the hordes of barbarians who seek to defile the people of his land. Scott is being confronted by videos which depict him telling a millionaire supporter of  a desire to crush unions and create chaos in his state. Diane Hendricks told the man to whom she gave money that she expected a “right-to-work” state would be established. In other words, a state in which workers can not form unions and must obey the whims and desires of bosses.

 

Scott responded: “well, we’re going to start in a couple of weeks” our campaign to achieve your desires. “The first step we’re going to deal with is collective bargaining for all public employees” and that will be accomplished by a “divide and conquer campaign.” Mr. Walker claims to lack any  recollection of what he said.
