Victoria Secret Has A Secret

There is  evidence that Victoria Secret purchases material for its lengerie from nations in Africa who  have children engaged in  growing these crops. An article in Bloomberg News described how a 13 year old girl, Clarisse Kambire, works in the cotton fields of  Burkina Faso and if she is not working hard enough, payment  can come in the form of beatings from  farmers.

Before a day’s work begins, she says: ”I’m starting to think about how he will shout and beat me again.” Apparently, Clarisse is listed as an adult and supposedly she picks vegetables. The majority of cotton in the country is sold to Victoria Secret. I guess there are times when the name of this company speaks the truth.

HEADLINES FROM THE WORLD PRESS

Each day we offer a sample of headlines which appeared in the world press along with our comments.

New Zealand, New Zealand Herald:  ”Wealthy Folk Cash In On Xmas”

This is news??

Denmark, Copenhagen Post:  ”Act of Evil”

Anything beginning with the word, Republican.

Sweden, Local:  ”No Dark Haired Clerks, If You Please”

We are in Scandinavia, so trot out the blond haired  folk.

Australia, Sydney Morning Herald:  ”Xmas Grinch Stole Jesus”

Have you checked Jerusalem?

Russia, Moscow Times:  ’Police Bust Caviar Stash In Morgue”

At least the corpses will fill wealthy on their way up there.

France, Connexion:  ”Sugar Scam”

This story must have a sweet ending.

South Africa, Argus:   “Work On Election Reform”

We want to make certain Robert Mugabe wins before balloting begins.

Gay KKK Members Bother Catholics

We live in an era in which those whose hearts are filled with hate and anger feel perfectly OK blasting opponents with wild charges of hate and anger. Over seventy years ago, the KKK was fairly strong in many parts of America and they not only hated black skinned people, but had enough hate for Catholics, Jews, and immigrants. A gay parade was planned in Chicago, and its route would pass by a Catholic church while members were at prayer. Chicago Cardinal Francis George condemned the parade  as similar in tone to those old time KKK anti-Catholic rallies.

Exactly how a  group of people walking in the street interrupt those at prayer inside a building somehow escapes my understanding of reality.  The good Cardinal apologized for hurting the feelings of anyone.

If you want to make Fox News this evening , just attack someone as a Nazi, Socialist, Communist, devil-worshipper, or whatever.

P.S. Sorry Cardinal, but some of those gay folk marching in the street are Catholics!

Death In Sudan, Who Cares?

Reports from the new nation of South Sudan reveal death and destruction as the Nuer tribe sent troops firing and attacking the Murle tribe.  Initial figures indicate about 2,300 women and children are dead and nearly a thousand men. There are at least 1,000 children missing. This intrepid reporter asked prominent American political leaders for a reaction to this massacre of the innocent.

George Bush:  ”The key thing is whether there are WMD in South Sudan that pose a threat to the security of America.”

Michele Bachmann:  ”South  Sudan? Is that near New Orleans?”

Herman Cain:  ”I wonder if anyone there would be interested in a fabulous pizza deal.”

Ron Santorum:  ”I urge those unfortunate people to pray to God”

Mitt Romney:  ”America sends its condolences to all who are persecuted. I will inform Mormon headquarters so they can send some missionaries.”

Newt Gingrich:  ”If South Sudan leaders would contact me, I have some interesting ideas that might help them and my organization offers a beginning of year discount.”

Barack Obama:  ”We are leaving troubled areas, not going in.”

SHOW ME THE DOUGH SAY CHINESE!

A new Chinese Reality TV show, “If You Are One” has finally convinced Republican conservatives of the importance of working with China. The show presents gorgeous women and men loaded with money who seek to persuade females to accept invitations for a date. Men offer money, cars, planes, bank accounts and luxurious homes in order to lure females into their web of friendship. One man offered a  girl possession of a bike only to be told, “I’d rather cry in a BMW.” Producer, Wang Reijie notes: “through this show you can tell  what China is thinking about.”

Unfortunately, censors are appalled at this blatant presentation of capitalism and are threatening to close down a show which attracts 50,000,000 viewers. Finally, Republicans can embrace communism which apparently is the only capitalist show in town. Newt, Mitt, Rick, Rick, Ron and Michele agree–on with the show!

Bombs Away In Baghdad!

As I recall our beloved and all wise President George Bush made clear the US was invading Iraq in order to wipe out WMD and to bring democracy to the oppressed people of that nation. The years have passed, the WMD myth has passed, and now that American troops have finally left Iraq, the myth of spreading democracy will soon pass. Even as the last American soldier left Iraq, Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki began his program to wipe out Sunni political leaders.

Once again, Baghdad was the scene of death and destruction as Sunni militants responded to being blocked out of government by blasting their Shiite enemies. Once again innocent civilians died due to bomb blasts. It was clear that bombs were set by Sunnis who are furious at actions of Maliki to arrest Sunni political leaders.

I wonder if George is still proud that American brought democracy to Iraq. I wonder how many Republican political leaders who hailed the invasion are now complaining that Iraq is not a democracy. I guess this is simply another example of failed Obama policies.

LIFE DECISIONS

We offer a collection of life decisions we daily make.

1. Stay on the highway or take the exit and miss the possible gridlock up ahead.

2. Go on the date with the person met at a bar, or say you have a headache.

3. Tell the boss to go fuck himself or keep the job and endure his incompetence.

4. Buy the lottery ticket or keep the buck for a coffee.

5. Stay tuned to the idiotic Republican debate and laugh or take an aspirin and go to bed.

6. Go for a walk in St. Louis without a jacket or don’t trust St. Louis weather and wear one.

7. Put on your right shoe first or your left one first.

8. Pray to God for help or tell Him to help someone else.

9. Go for “c” on the multiple choice test or gamble on “b”  when you have no idea which is the right answer.

10. Walk up to this beautiful girl in the bar and say she is the most gorgeous woman you ever saw or risk a slap in the face.

11. Loan money to a friend who is notorious for gambling or say no.

12.  Vote for a Republican because of anger over Obama or trust the president will finally display some balls.

“I HATE AMERICA”

There is a man wandering through the streets of Los Angeles in his minivan who apparently does not the United States of America. Mr. Harry Burkhart was pulled over by part time policeman who works in neighborhood watch looking for suspicious characters like Harry. Apparently, Mr. Burkhart has been devoting the past few nights to torching parked cars in order to display his anger toward the American people. “I hate America” he told the police.

An important question is why does Mr. Burkhart hate the USA? Here are some possible reasons:

1. He made the mistake of listening to Republicans discuss their ideas on domestic and world affairs.

2. He has relatives in Iraq who were forced to flee their country due to former President Bush.

3. He caught an episode of one of those Reality Shows!

4. He heard Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul discuss their version of American history.

5. He was out bear hunting with Sarah Palin and she mistook him for a bear.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

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

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Given Republicans inability to find a competent presidential candidate, never ask for their advice to find a competent plumber.

Fox News issued a correction. They presented an accurate story.

Newt Gingrich called for arresting “activist judges.” You know, just what the Founding Fathers wanted.

I always check to see if the child’s nose matches either parent’s nose.

If mom lowers head to talk to child, the kid had better beware.

The coffee shop was out of its Winter Blend. How can a coffee shop  be out of coffee?

Muslims are charged with seeking to overthrow US government, but no one charges Republican candidates with seeking to overthrow the US Constitution!

Big butts do not necessarily translate into big minds.

Some speak with a gaze of awe.

When mom and dad and kids are in booth, the issue is which one first rises to leave?

In my childhood, we brought pennies for starving children in China, I guess these days we should bring dollars to school for starving American children.

US Fights To Defend China

As I recall, ten years ago, then President George Bush and his two companions of evil, Cheney and Rumsfeld, told the American people that once we rid Afghanistan and Iraq of Muslim fanatics, there was oil in them sands. Ten years have gone by along with the lives of thousands of  Americans, and guess who is going to get that oil in them sands and hills? China! The government of Afghanistan has signed an agreement with China that allows its oil companies to drill for oil.

As I recall, Don an Dick  emphasized that oil would pay for the cost of war. I guess the dynamic trio of incompetents did not realize the US was paying for  China to make lots of money. China has us in debt and now they are collecting on the debt by using our soldiers to protect their oil people!!
