NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Posted on February 15, 2012 by | Leave a comment

We offer observations on the human condition from a 21 year old mind trapped in an 82 year old body.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Some grow outward with age, some shrink, me, I’m always the same.

Painful memories should always be memories.

I am a superstitious person and that is why the New York Football Giants won the Super Bowl.

Authenticity in a person is admirable.

To study war is to study incompetence, stupidity, ignorance and blind luck.

Once upon a time in America women wore dresses.

Some learn from mistakes, others learn to repeat them.

Some day I will hobble, fortunately, not today.

I could never be a member of the Republican party, I think rationally.

I do not take the table reserved for old folks, I am a nice guy.

I feel lost without a pen.

To bear a grudge is to become one.

Seek hate and you will become hateful.

Al-QAIDA MYTHS AND REALITIES

Posted on February 10, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Who can forget cries of perild issued by former President George Bush concerning forces of  evil headed for the shores of the United Statess. He insisted America had to invade Iraq in order to destroy non-existent WMD and get at the source of support for al-Qaida–Iraq? There never was a threat to the USA, but Bush transformed his incompetent administration into one leading the Crusade against terrorism.

Michael Sheehan, Assistant Secretary of Defense ffor Special Operations, told an audience that al–Qaida never posed any threat to the United States. “Al-Qaida wasn’t as good as we thought they  were on 9/11. Everyone looked to the sky every eday after 9/11 and said: ‘when is the next attack?’ And, it didn’t come because al-Qaida wasn’t that capable. They didn’t have other units in the USA. They didn’t have the capability to launch a second attack.”

The dynamic trio of Bush/Cheney/Runsfeld  spread fear and anxiety because it was good politics and made certain Bush got another term.  If anything, Bush hysteria INCREASED the size of al-Qaida by offering them an opportunity to fight in Iraq.

Victoria Secret Has A Secret

Posted on January 16, 2012 by | Leave a comment

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.

Gay KKK Members Bother Catholics

Posted on January 9, 2012 by | Leave a comment

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?

Posted on January 9, 2012 by | 10 Comments

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!

Posted on January 7, 2012 by | Leave a comment

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!

Posted on January 5, 2012 by | Leave a comment

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

Posted on January 4, 2012 by | Leave a comment

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.
