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

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

Whew, one smelly story if you ask me.

We are pleased to report the train is doing well.

Depends on how you define, “education.”

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??

Defending Gun Owners

Posted on May 16, 2012 by | Leave a comment

It is increasingly evident that those who love  guns are among the most persecuted people in the United States. For example, I can not even go to a bank with gun in hand without having some guard pull a gun and demand that I surrender what is my property! For  some reason when I was in Washington D.C. and wanted to enter the Halls of Congress some SOCIALIST THUG COP seized MY GUN and told me guns were not allowed in Congress!! How can they deny a God fearing white Christian(or Jew for that matter) the right to take guns where we damn well please??

I have placed a gun in my baby’s crib so that she can grow up loving guns. Of course, I place bullets in the gun since she has to learn early proper maintenance of guns. If we doesn’t then, boom, there goes another daughter. I have heard rumors that first graders will not be allowed to have guns in class if COMMUNIST SOCIALIST GUN HATING Barack Obama is re-elected president of this wonderful gun loving land.

Protect our children, stand up for loaded guns in every nook and crany of our society. Vote for those who love guns. Above all, get your four year old a gun for God’s sake! What if someone tried to rob him?

Dominique Straussed Out Over Maid

Posted on May 16, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Dominque Strauss Kahn is very upset at a maid who he seduced because she claims  he forced sexual intentions on her. He charges that Natissatou Diallo. a hotel maid that he impregnated with his fluids lied by charing that he  raped her. DSK says she “knowingly and intentionally made a false  report to law enforcement authorities.”

DSK is convinced her rape claims stemmed from a Sarkozy plot to destroy his candidacy for president of France. He agrees to having sex with the maid, the issue is whether she was attacked or seduced. Frankly, given the dozens, if not hundreds, of women the great French lover has seduced,who  can doubt this innocent female was simply overwhelmed by the chubby little man?

DSK, you might be a great economist, but sexual dynamism is not your strong suit.

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!

Israelis Finally Behave Like Jews!

Posted on May 15, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Those of the Jewish faith who actually believe in the  core principles of our religion understand that historically we have supported the quest for human rights. There are hundreds of  men and women in Israel prisons who  have never been brought to court and allowed to confront accusers and prove their innocence. If Israel police say you are a “terrorist” then it must be true-at least that is the norm for modern day Jews in Israel. Given the presence of terrorists who cares about old fashioned ideas like, “innocent until proven guilty.”

A hunger strike by over 2,000 prisoners in Israel jails finally ended when the Netanyahu government agreed to end solitary confinement, to allow visits by family members and to treat prisoners with respect for their dignity as humans. After the capture of Sgt. Gilad Shalit family visits were prohibited on ground that Shalit could not have family visits. Of course, he was freed months ago, so the reason for maintaining the prohibition is……..  ??

There never will be peace between Israel and Palestinians until the government of Israel initiates steps to respect basic Palestinian rights to their land, to free movement, and to end violence by settlers who seize what does not belong to them–in the name of God!k

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!

Fruits Of Syrian Violence In Lebanon

Posted on May 15, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Refusal by President Bashar al-Assad to work for a compromise solution that would lead to peace and democracy in his nation is currently the source of new violence in the region. Assad is a member of the Alawite sect which has fundamental religious differences with Sunnis who  constitute the majority of inhabitants of Syria. The conflict is now spreading  to other areas of the region. Violence has erupted in Lebanon which also contains Sunni and Alawite Muslims.

The city of Tripoli is now witnessing fighting between Sunni and Alawite factions with five dead and over a hundred wounded. This is exactly what Assad desires, more violence, more countries brought into the conflict, more confusion and more deaths. He can only retain power if people die. He can only keep his  position as president if there is turmoil. Chaos is his weapon and the more chaos the greater his ability to claim that by remaining in office he alone can prevent even greater chaos.

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!!
