Wise Russia Offers Advice To US

Posted on April 20, 2012 by | 1 Comment

It is rather  unfortunate that former President George Bush and his two clowns,Cheney/Rumsfeld, never contacted the Russian government for advice on fighting a war in Afghanistan. The Russians had over eight years fighting and losing  in that far away land. Eventually, they just packed up and left. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has decided to offer some souond words of wisdom to US and NATO forces. After all, this is the land which fought in Afghanistan and left with tail between legs.

“As long as Afghanistan is not able to secure by itself the security in the country,” said the Russian sage, “the artificial timelines of withdrawal are not correct and should not be set.” In reality, Russia wants a stable Afghanistan because it fears Muslim militants simply will move on to Muslim areas of Russia. “Please do not leave” is the Russian wail.

Ted Nugent, Nut Case Of Day!

Posted on April 18, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Historically, American politics is anything but a vicious fight between opponents who want to pound their enemy into the ground. However, this year is witnessing anger and hate  unknown to the world of political dispute. Ted Nugent, a rocker, is proud of hating Barack Obama who he terms to be, “vile,” “evil,”  “America hating” and most probably an African immigrant who seeks OUR presidency.  Mr. Nugent believes “there are some power-abusing, corrupt monsteres in our  federal government that despise me because I have the audacitgy to speak the truth.” He compares himself to a “black Jew at a Klan rally.”

Naturally, Mitt Romney seeks the support  of this  hate speaking individual. Mr. Romney has one goal in mind-winning. He has already provided evidence the Devil himself is being courted for support. Mtt would sell his soul for a vote, what would he be willing to give up for a few hundred votes–his wife?

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Posted on April 17, 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

Baseball is the only sport played in three seasons of the year.

Some claim to be “children of God.” How come no aunts or uncles?

I have concluded that God  regards Earth as a botched experiment.

I never put more than two Equals into my coffee.

In the end, how we judge ourselves is the only judgment worth a damn.

I doubt if any human   figured out the exact  moment his pen ran out of ink.

In any group of elderly folk, one speaks with authority.

The US is 24th in life expectancy but Americans boast of their wonderful health system. The purpose is not to get well, it is to LIVE!

Women have a habit of touching their right hip when walking.

Needed new medical specialty, Doctor of Butts.

I chronicle  life, some chronicle death.

As I write in the coffee shop some glance toward me.

Tall men  stride into a shop with a look of determination.

Death is the last opportunity to express love–so, say it!

There are times in life when silence is the loudest statement one can make.

I was raised to openly argue politics. Not a nice thing in the Midwest.

A white haired woman has permission to speak with anyone.

Bad news: you are dead.Good News: never again have to listen to Rick Santorum speech.

Taliban Strike With Force

Posted on April 16, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago,  the administration of President George Bush decided to invade Afghanistan, destroy the Taliban government and then do –something. The something was not very clear to Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld, and this failure to have a plan to create a viable Afghanistan remains the issue of today. Instead of rebuilding the nation, Bush diverted forces and energy to destory WMD that never existed. Barack Obama inherited this mess and despite  serious efforts it remains a mess.

Over the weekend, Taliban forces launched a series of  attacks in Kabul as well as in provincial cities. They used heavy weapons, suicide  bombers and fought in the heart of the capital. A spokesperson for the Taliban said the attacks were planned for two months and demonstrated “we are strong and can attack anywhere we want.” Unfortunately, this is a true  statement of reality.

The future is unknown. Apparently, Afghan forces responded to the attacks quite well. Who knows, perhaps they can handle the Taliban.

LIFE AND DEATH

Posted on April 10, 2012 by | Leave a comment

We offer observations on LIFE AND DEATH

1. The only serious issue in life is Death.

2.  The final concern in life is Death.

3.  I trust Death is delayed for our appointment.

4. In the Army they lost my orders, I missed Death.

5.  There is no doubt Death is a member of the Republican party.

6.  I assume Death is an equal opportunity employer.

7. If you seek speeding up appointments with Death, vote Republican.

8.  Death is a gambler with life.

9.  I wonder how human civilization would have evolved without Death.

10.  Conservatives defend until Death the right of poor people to die because they lack health insurance. It says so in the Constitution!

Bush Was Misunderstood!

Posted on April 10, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Former President George Bush is a bit peeved because liberals continue to attack his famous tax cuts. George is convinced they were the right thing to do and any intelligent president would have done the same thing because reducing  taxes on wealthy folk is the road to  economic success. “Most small businesses pay tax at the individual income level, therefore if you raised taxes on the so-called rich, you’re really raising taxes on the job creators.” Just reduce taxes and jobs will emerge.

I am confused. Bush dropped the top level from 39% to 36%. When the tax level was at 39%  under the Clinton administration twice as many jobs were created. The tax rate was higher under St. Ron Reagan and more jobs were created than under the Bush administration.

Oh, the “so-called rich”–top five percent own 25% of our nation’s wealthy. They are not “so-called” they are RICH!

Fight For Nation, Get Ill

Posted on April 6, 2012 by | Leave a comment

The underlying belief of Republicans is  that businessmen can be trusted to do a superior job than any government organization. Of course, the US armed forces during WWII did NOT allow private business to function in war zones. Thus bridges were built in a day, the Alaska Highway completed within a year, and airfields constructed  under enemy fire. Former President Bush and his cronies, Rumsfeld and Cheney, were certain “government employees” lacked the skills and competence of private enterprise. The Iraq was the first war contracted out to business.

Many of those who served in Iraq are now suing companies like KBR for allowing poisonous materials to be used and thus endangered their lives. Soldiers sickened at a water treatment facility run by KBR have just discovered that a deadly toxin was used in massive quantities and the result has been serious illness. Eight million pounds of sodium dichromate were used leading to breathing problems and cancer.

KBR denied this usage in 2003, but now acknowledge  the truth of what occurred. A military spokesperson described KBR behavior as “deliberate, calculated concealment.” I am certain Ron Paul will soon blame “the government” for this behavior.

Republican Apologizes-Wow!

Posted on April 3, 2012 by | Leave a comment

These days to be a member of the Republican party serving in  Congress it violates your sacred duty to admit doing anything wrong. You must believe that Democrats and the foreigner who currently serves as president is always wrong about everything. After all, Democrats are Muslims who come from some far off African nation. Representative Paul Ryan charged General Martin Dempsey, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, of lying when he said the military budget proposed by President Obama was adequate for military needs.

Ryan called General Dempsey to  apologize for saying the military was not giving its ‘true advice” on the Obama military budget. This budget allocates $614 billion which is more than ALL military budgets of nations of the world. It is interesting that Army generals under former President Bush gave in  to  his demands for conformity except for Army  General Shinseki who told the truth about Iraq plans and was forced to resign.

Mitt, Newt, and Rick On Afghanistan

Posted on March 25, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Rick,Mitt, and Newt condemn the foreign policy of President Barack Obama in dealing with the Afghanistan war. In fact, Newt even wonders why this president got us involved in the war. From his viewpoint,  the Afghanistan war is “risking the lives of young men and women in a  mission that may not be doable.” As far as Mitt and Rick are concerned, it is all the fault of President Obama. They are shocked that he set a date to end the presence of American troops in Afghanistan.

Wait a second. As I recall, it was George Bush who sent US troops into Afghanistan. Perhaps my memory is playing tricks but I recall how Newt and Rick and Mitt hailed the  great leadership of President George Bush who launched wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I simply do not recall a single comment from Mitt about”failed leadership” about George Bush in Afghanistan which he now hurls at Barack Obama.
